CHAPTER 64: SUMMON FAIRY AND LISELOTTE

　I pinched the Holy Stone with my fingers and looked through the magical light of the light source on the ceiling.

 

　As it was, I thought about using the magic from my previous experience.

 

 

“…Ah …that’s right.
This is it.
I think it will work.”

 

 

　Somehow, with just a hunch, I felt that it was this Holy Stone, that was necessary for that magic.

 

 

“Ah … Speaking of which.”

 

 

　I think there was a mention in a book I saw at the guild that magic stones are sometimes required as catalysts for high-level magic.

 

　Is a Holy Stone different from a Magic Stone? I guess so.
Maybe the catalyst for Six Attribute Magic is a Magic Stone, and Holy Magic is a Holy Stone.

 

 

 

　I crossed my arms, touched my chin with my right hand, and walked around the room in circles, thinking.

 

　This is my first time using magic.
I don’t know what will happen.
Is it okay to use this magic in this place? Is it safe? Wouldn’t it be better to move to another place? What are the risks? What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages?　

 

　I think about many things as I walk.

 

　When I think, I walk.
For some reason, when I walk, my thoughts come together.
I don’t know why that is.
I don’t know why, but it helps my brain work better.
Great people have also said so. [T/N: This is true there are studies that motion and thinking have a synergistic effect and some famous people have similar ideas about thinking and walking/moving.
There’s Mark Twain, Lao Tzu, Charles Dickens, etc.
Well this is according to Google-sensei.]

 

　I keep walking in circles for a while, thinking, and then I stop.

 

 

“Yeah, I don’t know.
I can’t get my thoughts together!”

　…Well, there are days like this.

 

　Even if you choose the best course of action, it doesn’t mean you’ll get the best result.

 

 

　Okay!　Let’s just use it!

 

　When you can’t find the answer to your question, you have to act first.

 

　I took a slow deep breath and refocused my mind.

 

　I put the Holy Stone on the palm of my right hand and hold it up in front of me.

 

　Then, quietly and slowly, I chanted a spell.

 

 

“Heed my call and show me the way [Summon Fairy]!”

 

 

　At that moment, the magic inside me rushed through my body, converged on my right hand, and flowed into the Holy Stone on my palm.

 

　The rainbow-colored Holy Stone shone even brighter, and its radiance became a current that danced on the palm of my hand.

 

　When it had absorbed half of my remaining magic power, the flow of magic power stopped, and the Holy Stone disintegrated from the outside and was swallowed by the surrounding vortex of radiance.
When the whirlpool of light swirled, it transformed into a three-dimensional magic circle.

 

 

“…”

 

 

　I was too surprised by the amazing scene that had begun in the palm of my hand that I was left speechless.

 

　What is magic? I was thinking that when you chant a spell, the magic power is released and transformed into something and creates an effect.
However, what’s happening in front of me right now is something completely different from that.

 

　It is clearly different from the magic that manipulates the attributes, such as the widely known six-attribute magic.

 

　I’m not sure if I can explain what the difference is or what it is, but it’s clearly different.

 

　In the meantime, the completed three-dimensional magic circle began to rotate slowly in a circle, and after a while, a light appeared near the center, and the light gradually took shape.

 

　Then, the magic circle cracked and scattered and disappeared.

“Hello!” (Voice)

 

“Eh… oh right, hello.”

 

 

　I immediately replied out of reflex.

 

　But it was so sudden that my mind couldn’t keep up with the situation.

 

 

　She’s floating in the palm of my hand.

 

　There she is, floating in my palm.

 

　She is about 20 centimeters tall, with long golden hair pulled back, dressed in a cream tunic and shorts.
And on her back were two pairs of four translucent wings.

 

 

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.” (Voice => Fairy)

 

 

　I’m… troubled by that.

 

　I don’t remember ever having seen her before, no matter how I think about it.

 

　I mean, if I meet such a mysterious girl, I wouldn’t forget about it, right? I should definitely remember.

 

　Perhaps my memory was altered by some alien! Damn it! Aliens!

 

　I was in such a hurry that I thought of stupid things like…

 

 

　Oh… It’s like when a stranger suddenly talks to you like you’re a friend, but you can’t remember their face at all… And then, somehow, I managed to get a hint and try to remember, but I can’t remember anything at all…

 

　I’ve been in this other world for a few months now, so it’s not like we’ve met in the past… This time, I’m going to honestly ask her.

 

 

“Well… umm.
Did we meet somewhere?”

　When she heard that, she looked quite peeved.

 

 

“Eh! I met you! Remember, in the garden!” (Fairy)

 

 

　Garden? Garden? Garden… Garden… Hmm? Is it the Fairy Garden!?

 

　Looking back, it seems that I heard a voice at the end during that time…

 

 

“Well, is it at the Fairy Garden?”

 

“You remember! Well, I’m Liselotte! Everyone calls it Lizzy! Nice to meet you!” (Fairy => Lizzy)

 

“Oh, yes, I’m Rook.
Nice to meet you.”

 

 

　When I greeted her like that, she, Liselotte, smiled happily.

 

　I’m glad.
I was correct about it being in the Fairy Garden.
But I don’t think we’ve actually “met”, though we did meet.
But I think I heard her voice, so I wonder if we did meet.
I don’t know what’s going on anymore.

 

 

“You know, today, in the garden, there was a blue flower blooming.” (Lizzy)

 

“Uhh, huh.”

 

“Well, there was a yellow worm in that blue flower.” (Lizzy)

 

“Really?”

 

“That’s why I carried the worm to another place.” (Lizzy)

 

“Oh, I see.”

 

“Then I took a nap on top of the blue flower!” (Lizzy)

 

“Wow, that seems really nice.”

“Ah! I have to go home! Well then, Excuse me.” (Lizzy)

 

“Oh, yes.
See you next time.”

 

 

　And then Lizzy was enveloped in light and disappeared from the place in an instant with a snap.

 

 

“…Eh? Eh…”

 

 

　I feel that the lively atmosphere suddenly became lonesome all at once.

 

　I could hear the sound of someone walking outside and the voices of the adventurers drinking on the first floor in the distance.

 

 

“No, that… hmm.”

 

 

　What can I say…? No, yeah, this is.

 

 

“What kind of magic was that…?”

 

 

　A magic to talk to a fairy after using a huge amount of magical power?

 

　Eh… This magic system is similar to a shop full of beautiful ladies in a city for nightlife!

 

　Well, the fairy was cute though! She was really adorable!

 

　…Most of my magical power was taken…

 

 

“This is not a magic that you can use very often…”

 

 

 

　And then I rolled over in bed, thinking, “It was so flashy when it came out, but it stayed only for a second before it went back…”
