Episode 17
Prioritize the skills you will need right away.
As the level went up, it became possible to raise the proficiency of black magic more.
‘In short, I’ve been able to raise it to the 2nd circle.’
There are necessary conditions if you want to acquire a higher level of black magic.
The first is the level.
The second is the number of magic circles that control the magic.
Common magic and black magic are each handled by a magical ring called a circle.
Therefore, in order to obtain higher level magic, acquiring a circle appropriate for that magic class is a prerequisite.
《Do you want to increase the mastery level of the Magic Circle?》
《20 points are consumed to increase the skill level.》
Of course.
It’s a skill with high importance among passive skills, so it seems to eat up 20 points, but it’s worth raising it.
《The magic circle mastery level increases.》
《Magic Circle: You have reached the 2nd circle.》
《A skill increase bonus is given.》
If you increase the number of circles by upgrading them, you will mainly get a bonus to the amount of increase in mental strength and mana.
‘And if I achieve an additional 2 circles, I’ll be able to learn magic or skills that depend on it.’
《Black Magic – Black Flame Bullet: -2 points》
《Dark Magic – Bone Spear: -2 points》
《Passive – Magic Armor: -2 points》
《Would you like to learn those skills?》
Get new magic and become stronger.
‘With this, I’m one step closer to being a genius.’

I took a skill and checked the added value of the stats accordingly.
‘Become stronger.’
I want to be strong so that I can survive wonderfully no matter what happens.

Celidia’s training plan also went smoothly.
She was skeptical at first, but now she listens more to me than I thought, as if she believes in the way I propose.
‘There’s talent there.’
To put it bluntly, it’s talent. If you tell me the answer, you will understand the process yourself.
‘What’s left is the right timing for you to achieve results… … .’
It doesn’t change simply by getting results.
Remaining problems and… … .
‘Is this the best timing?’
How to intervene to get the most appropriate result, I am silently concentrating on the work with my eyes and hands while rummaging over and over again in my head.
“Hmm? What are you making again this time?”
Emily, who has been watching my work, snoops around me and asks if she is bored.
“bracelet?”
“I’m just trying to make him a decent amount of useful items.”
I want to use my black magic and alchemy skills to create an item that uses the spirit.
“That Celidia has a side where she secretly doesn’t trust her talent. So I wonder if it would be nice to have something to rely on.”
“You take care of it surprisingly well?”
“Be careful not to cut corners more than once.”
More than anything, the change in his future may have something to do with my future.
And it’s not a bad thing to have a powerful elementalist. Among the strong enemies in the future scenarios, there are many cases where spiritism is effective.
By giving grace to such a talented person, I eliminate the possibility of them becoming hostile to me in the future.
It’s never a meaningless service.
“Hey~. Hmmm~ that’s right aaa~. Whoop whoop… … .”
What bothered me was that Emily showed a strange attitude to me, who was talking solid logic.
It’s not sudden. It must have been since I told you about Celidia’s training plan.
“You seem to be putting a lot of effort into it?”
“what does it mean… … .”
“You’ve been repeating that for days, haven’t you?”
The work of creating an item. I’ve been repeating mistakes for several times and trying to synthesize again and again.
reason?
Are you sincere?
Half right, half wrong.
“… … I don’t like the options.”
The quality of synthesizing items has a bit of luck factor added to it.
To put it bluntly, the best option should float.
I can’t stand the best!
Even if I was going to give it to him, my soul as a gamer would not tolerate it if I gave him something clumsy.
“Hmm? Doesn’t it mean something else?”
“What are you doing?”
“Our Xian can entice as many children as he wants if he puts his mind to it?”
The story flows strangely.
As I stop and turn around, Emily suddenly clings to me behind me and whispers softly into the nape of my neck.
“Should I teach you how to capture it more reliably?”
“hey!”
“At the point of signing the contract with this older sister, if you set your mind to it, you can enlighten it as much as you like.”
It must be said that since I signed a contract with a succubus, I can learn and master its characteristics if I set my mind to it.
In fact, if you make a contract with the devil, among the skills that can be acquired through skill points, there is something like fascination.
Unlike the devil’s, the effect is weak, so you won’t learn much.
Don’t you have anything to write about? Originally, it was intended as a trick to solve the problem of the black magic class, which has some penalties in the dating route.
Rather than that, dating with fascination, ethically, is it okay?
“Is fascination pushing you one step further? Even if it’s not that, Xi’an is good, so it’s probably up to you.”
“but… … I’m a bit of a face.”
don’t deny yourself
Originally, the contemplation of the villain is a bit on the good side.
In short, is the face probable?
“Even if you don’t want to do that.”
If I were simply immature, I would live my own way, guided by my desires.
‘It’s a death flag, isn’t it?’
Even if it’s not, one of the karma that ‘Xian’ committed in the game was a woman relationship.
There are also mentions that he used his face and speech to covertly touch many women.
“Hmm? Aren’t you ready to do that yet?”
Emily murmured slightly amused when I said it so bluntly.
“Ibosch, the devil sister? Didn’t you just want me to leave?”
“It’s not bad to see a child fall, but have you forgotten? Xian what you said. What does this sister expect?”
“ah… … .”
Something I said to interest Emily.
It is about a quest that one day has to realize the extremes of black magic and reach it.
“It’s not very desirable to spend your energies on trivial things.”
“Is it like jealousy?”
“Uh~. Could it be?”
Surprisingly, are you hoping to reach the results I sincerely declared?
“And Xian? You haven’t been resting for days, have you?”
After taking care of Celdia, she was devising ways to teach her necessary knowledge, or continuing to challenge only synthesizing items like now.
Watching me like that seems disapproving.
“It wasn’t that I suffered enough to rest… … isn’t it?”
“You can’t fool this older sister’s senses.”
Looking at the state of the energy flowing through the body, the degree of fatigue is more than enough to estimate.
Saying that, Emily quietly reached out and grabbed my hand as if to stop it.
“Hey~, it’s time to rest.”
Not Doctor Stop, but Demon Stop.
He pulls me with unbelievable strength, picks me up, and pushes me to the bed in my room.
“Yanma… … .”
“You have to listen carefully to grow up well. More than anything else, Xian has to grow up quickly.”
I can’t see you anymore, so I’ll force you to sleep.
Resolutely, Emily rolls me onto the bed, and when I try to get up, she gently holds me in her arms to stop me.
No surrender is accepted.
“Shh, be quiet.”
As if holding her with her body, before she knew it, Emily lay down side by side and patted him.
“I will watch you until you fall asleep.”
“… … Are you a kid?”
“Huh, right? Shall I sing you a song?”
“That’s all right.”
I’m only fifteen, so I can’t say no.
Well, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tired.
Because caring about other people consumes that much mental and physical strength.
In addition, I realized anew that, unexpectedly, the rhythm someone patted me easily led my consciousness to sleep.
‘When I think about it, it feels like I didn’t really know.’
either this way or that way.
Both sides.
Anyway, thanks for clearing my mind.
What should be the most desirable conclusion for me.

next day.
I handed over the item I completed last night to Celidia, who came to visit me today as usual.
I put it in Celdia’s hand, even showing the sense of intentionally packing it into a box that fits perfectly.
“… … bracelet?”
Inside is a metal bracelet. Intricately crafted with multiple patterns.
“It’s something that will help you with your spiritual practice.”
“help?”
“The bracelet itself, which is used as a material, is an ordinary object.”
It was a cheap purchase of a practice item made by the blacksmith class students at the academy.
“I synthesized it with my skill and added some new features.”
A collaboration of black magic and alchemy.
“Animation enhancement item?”
“It’s a little different.”
If it was a simple strengthening item, there was no need to give it to Celidia. Even if you don’t, it’s only an accident if you try to make the power of the guy who is hard to control.
“It’s a debuff item that will suppress the power of your elemental arts when you need it.”
《Bracelet of Spirit Seal》
《Reduces the power of spirit magic by 30%.》
Originally, it is a kind of weakening item worn when the power of spirit magic is to be suppressed.
‘I had a really hard time making it!’
The percentage of power reduction is randomly set between 10% and 30%, so I had a hard time getting the best option!
Since the effect can be turned on/off freely, it shouldn’t be difficult to use.
If Celidia makes a mistake in controlling her elemental power and is in danger, using this bracelet will alleviate it immediately.
“thank you.”
Fortunately, Celidia seemed to like this bracelet.
Because you were looking at the bracelet I gave you with sparkling eyes.
(……cyan, cyan.)
‘what?’
(……Is that really helpful? That one?)
‘Because it’s relieved just to have medicine to use when I’m in a hurry.’
Actually, what I was aiming for was psychological stability.
Elemental magic is a power that affects the user’s mental state more than other abilities.
So, just having a corner to believe in can be expected to have its own effect.
‘It’s not without reason… … .’
In the game, there was a way to give Celdia an appropriate item for a similar reason.
It seems pathetic to give a gift based on a game, but there is no other reliable information.
* * *
After practice, I tried to finish my day by serving snacks as usual.
What I brought out this time was a cake sold at the academy’s canteen. They really sell everything.
Even in the game, I sold a lot of cakes, breads, and snacks as buff items.
is that effect?
“One odd thing to eat is faithful, here.”
“I heard something.”
Celidia said as if remembering something.
“They said the rice sold at the academy was tasteless in the past.”
“okay?”
“So the seniors got so pissed off and occupied the restaurant and staged a sit-in.”
“ah… … . that.”
It came to mind.
Was it a story that was mentioned in the quest going around the restaurant area at the time of the game?
A revolution in academy gastronomy.
tasteless rice… … . No, was it that those who were angry about the feed occupied and fought and won delicious rice?
In short, it means to thank the seniors who fought for the minimum rights of people.
“… … draft.”
“Yes, yes, I will give it to you right away, so wait a bit.”
Holding one hand, I intervene with my demonic spirit to suppress the aftereffects while cutting the cake with the other hand and scooping it up.
“But why can’t I just do this?”
“It’s uncomfortable with one hand.”
“Hey, am I one handed?”
“I have to support the plate with my hand.”
So what am I? am i not a mouth?
There’s something strange about the logic, but I didn’t bother to refute it.
I pretended not to hear Emily’s smirk, even though I could hear it.
‘Than… … If he’s at the level of this guy right now, I won’t have to correct him.’
If you talk nonsense and cause a runaway, I will be hit directly from the side.
‘They probably want to focus on the taste as much as possible.’
According to the setting, it has been 7 years since Celidia got caught up in research and became a spirit chimera.
What does it feel like to live without knowing the taste for 7 years?
‘It’s terrible… … .’
It is said that after a few months of quitting the temptations of the world, tears are shed just by eating delicious food.
So there was nothing that I couldn’t guess Celidia’s feelings.
‘Let’s not talk nonsense.’
And what I have to say is not sympathy or consolation.
it’s what teaches
