Chapter 17

“Pleased to work with you. I am Khalil = Valiel(T/N: >> Kariru = Varieru ?” (Shion)

“That’s true but… this is somewhat…” (Khalil)

Although Khalil wanted to agree with Shion’s identification, her expression seemed troubled.

Is there some kind of a problem?Renya wondered. Khalil snatched the crystal ball from Renya’s hand again, tossing it casually into the shelf in the back.

Causing a heavy sound, the crystal ball landed somewhere within the shelf.Will such irresponsible handling be fine?He became slightly worried.

“Going by the conclusion, your attribute is wind and in addition to that you have quite the affinity with it.” (Khalil)

Now that she mentions it, before coming to this world, I got a skill from that little girl. It must have been the skill to use magic from the Wind system, he recalled.

Most likely it had been that blessing, Renya judged. But he couldn’t recall the whole conversation any more.

“However, the amount of mana is hopelessly scarce. It doesn’t exceed half of the maximum amount of ordinary people.” (Khalil)

“With only that light, you are able to tell this much?” (Renya)

“There is nothing to criticize about the green color. Up to there it was an unusually clear variation of appearance, but … The size of the light was too small.” (Khalil)

Usually it was shining on the whole crystal ball albeit faintly.

In case of magicians, who possessed talent, it was shining radiantly. There were even records of the ball being broken in a flash of light when a hero used it.

If it was put like this, certainly there was no other way but to call the light from before tiny.

Shion, who was listening next to him, nodded her head in agreement with an *Un un*

“If I remember correctly the time I used it, it shone faintly across the whole ball.” (Shion)

“By the way, what colour was it?” (Renya)

Renya asked for reference. For some reason delighted, Shion replied,

“It was light green. I have the same aptitude as Renya, Wind.” (Shion)

“As for the maximum amount of mana, since you can increase it little by little through usage, I think you can improve it to a certain extent. But, considering your starting amount, you better not expect too much from magic.” (Khalil)

Although it was a slightly shocking announcement for Renya, he originally came from a world where such power didn’t exist to begin with. Thus he was able to agree with the outcome of having too little power with that maximum amount.

Rather, here I possess the greatest power, or at least that’s what you can call it in the end. Without doubt I have to ask myself what the hell I did during my life in my previous world if I properly think about it.

Even if you could call it hopeless, since it is possible to improve it, I am able to use it to some extent.As such, Renya asked Khalil about a crucial matter.

“In order to increase the maximum amount of mana, is there some efficient training regimen, I wonder?” (Renya)

Khalil held out her left palm in silence.

Instead of Renya, who became uncertain due to not understanding the meaning, Shion asked .

“How much?” (Shion)

“7 silver coins.” (Khalil)

In response to Khalil’s curt answer, Shion dropped 7 silver coins on top of Khalil’s palm.

Accepting those, Khalil this time beckoned Renya with her right hand.

Continuing to beckon him, she brought her face close to Renya’s forehead as she bent herself over the table. Khalil crammed her hand quickly into her chest and retrieved a single paper tag. ¹

“Bestowal, ” (Khalil)

The paper tag all of a sudden dissolved in the atmosphere, similar to ice being thrown into seething hot water, and vanished.

Without hesitation Renya accepted.

“Spell, according to my power, let there be Light.” (Renya)

“I have heard that you reached the point that you could use spells easily without thought by just receiving the authority of application. Seeing it happening I can only agree to it.” (Khalil)

Although Khalil displayed a startled expression, Renya didn’t notice it as he was immersed in his own thoughts.

Upon thinking about it now, for Renya such principles or theories, like being someone able to acquire skills or in contrast someone unable to acquire them, vanished. He simply used them as if they were some command.

Albeit parents can increase the number of children endlessly, children can’t make children or grandchildren without becoming parents themselves.²

At any rate, although it was no more than simply using it, he didn’t comprehend the reason why he could use it just like that.

“… I heard the rumours, but Lost are really outside the norm.” (Khalil)

Khalil told him in admiration as she sensed that Renya had comprehended something.

It looks like the common folks aren’t aware of this truth and the magicians don’t convey this truth to anyone but other magicians either, he thought.

It will probably be a convenient skill for a magician to earn some coins.

However there is no idiot that would leak this information to the outside just to earn some income.

As Shion didn’t understand what those two were talking about, she watched the exchange between those two with a somewhat blank expression.

“So, what kind of relation does this have with the training regimen?” (Renya)

“Didn’t I tell you before? It will improve by keeping on using magic. In other words, it is fine to use any kind of magic as long as you are determined to keep using it. That’s the training to extend your maximum amount of mana. Usually, at the time this training is done, you use this Light spell in order to practice your magic.” (Khalil)

Other spells from the elementary magic were nothing but spells to make something or to influence the surroundings by causing some effect. However, producing illumination by light was no problem whatsoever, be it during daytime, although totally pointless due to the sun shining, or be it during night time as simple substitute for a lamp.

“At first I thought I was tricked looking at this method of training but after doing it for a while I will come back .” (Renya)

“Khalil… that is, how did you transfer this spell?” (Shion)

With feeling of nervousness Shion inquired about it. Khalil leaned back on the chair while turning her head left and right.

“It is futile. Although it will be okay to teach you as well, you won’t be able to use it well enough, will you?” (Khalil)

“Muu …” (Shion)

“Shion, for now I was taught the training method. After improving a bit, let’s have Khalil teach me another spell again. As it is now, no matter how many spells I am taught, there won’t be any point as I won’t be able to practice those spells due to my lacking power.” (Renya)

Shion, who had been dissatisfied for some reason or another, consented for the time being as she was soothed by Renya’s words.

“I see. Well then, Khalil, we will be back, please take care of us at that time.” (Shion)

“Yeah, yeah, you can entrust it to me… Putting that aside, Shion, didn’t your mental attitude change somehow?” (Khalil)

Since their business was finished, Renya stood up.

To Shion, who left her seat and chased after him, Khalil called out.

“You took a man as your companion. Haven’t you become more like a normal adventurer?” (Khalil)

“I was a normal adventurer to begin with!” (Shion)

“Fun, he~, ho~” (Khalil)

Khalil didn’t believe in Shion’s words at all, or rather she acted as if she hadn’t really heard them. With a slightly huffy expression, Shion continued.

“In the first place, didn’t you decline my invitation to join us?” (Shion)

For a party a magician was necessary. Although Shion had invited Khalil on Rona’s recommendation, she was quite easily refused.

At that time the reason for Khalil’s rejection was that it was a lot more comfortable to earn income by care-freely teaching elementary magic in the city or something along those lines.

“Who would enter such a dangerous party consisting of only 3 women?” (Khalil)

“That is… certainly you could say that. Because I thought about that too, I asked Renya to become our companion.” (Shion)

“I see. …Ma, good luck in earning money before coming here again. I am looking forward to it.” (Khalil)

“Ah, I will be back. Well then, see you.” (Shion)

Lightly waving her hand as she was watching Shion leaving the room, Khalil joined her hands behind her head. As if she had seen something amusing, she was broadly grinning and smiling.

“I wonder what that almost emotionless Rona with her half-baked skill in smiling will do about this.” (Khalil)

Well then, although I haven’t done anything else but teaching him the training method, I wonder how far he will grow before coming here the next time, Khalil thought while being reminded of her blonde haired friend’s face as she muttered those words.
