Chapter 167: What One Likes, One will do Well
"Yes! Registration is complete."
""Thank you""
Harper and I became adventurers at the Edgeworth Adventurer's Guild.
"By the way young master, Shisu."
"Please stop calling me young master."
I've been running around the territory since I was little, so many of the people call me that.
"I beg your pardon. I think it would be better if Shisu-sama and Harper-sama did not use your last names."
"Would it stand out?"
“If the guilds in the other territories were to check, there would certainly be an uproar, and the Edgeworth name would be too big.”
"Then we'll just use our real name."
In fact, there are many nobles who hide their surnames and register as adventurers.
There are many reasons for this.
"Huh?"
I suddenly felt something strange on the wall of the Adventurers' Guild.
As I recall, there was a self-portrait of the chief administrator of the guild here.
"Ah, did you notice the absence of the marquis's self-portrait?"
I've never met the Marquis, but I know his story.
Father and His Majesty seem to be overwhelmed by a large amount of work
But then, this Marquis was inspired.
[Leave the Adventurer's Guild to me! I'll take care of it!]
And assumed full responsibility for the Adventurers' Guild.
"He overworked himself and broke his liver."
"Who's in charge now?"
"It seems that the adopted son has inherited the Marquis house and is also in charge of the guild."
"Hmm..."
"Now, the recognition tag is created."
"Thank you. Here, this is Harper's."
I gave the adventurer's recognition tag to Harper
"It's quite small, isn't it?"
"You don't want it too big, do you?"
"Even I can bend it if I put in the effort."
You can't bend it on purpose, can you?
"You should put it around your neck or wrist."
"Then I'll put it around my neck."
---------------
We immediately went into the forest to hunt monsters.
The opponent we found is a wild slime
Subjugating it is easy, so
"If you can use magic, why don't you try it?"
"That's right. Then I'll try to fight it."
I'll be ready to help her as soon as I feel she's in danger.
"Go!"
Harper releases magic.
"Ha?"
She's not chanting.
But sure enough, the magic was released.
The slime exploded in the distance
"Shisu-sama! I did it!"
"No... no, no, no."
"Have I done something wrong?"
That's not it.
"Eh? Did you chant?"
"I do?"
"When?"
[Go!] is not chanting
"Last night, before I went to bed."
"...What do you mean?"
"I was chanting last night, and then I just had to activate it."
What is that? How is that possible?
"I've never heard of such magic before, though?"
"It's not magic. I'd rather call it magic science."
"Is the Istraze family that knowledgeable about magic?"
"I don't think we are any different from any other noble family."
So this magic usage is unique to Harper?
"Eh? Are you a genius?"
"No, I don't think so. I came up with the idea after hearing an anecdote about Shisu-sama's father. Then the genius is definitely Count Shiro Edgeworth-sama."
"Did you learn it from Father?"
"No, I heard from anecdotes that Count-sama can use a lot of magic without chanting. I thought about the mechanism in my own way, and as I thought about it, I wondered what magic is. What is science? What is the difference between them? Why can a person exercise the mana contained in a magic stone? I came up with the idea of this chanting technique."
Um, in short?
"Are you storing the mana that is about to be activated in your body?"
"That's right. If I had to name it, I'd say it's called [Hold On]."
Yeah, a genius
It's not something a 10-year-old can think of
"By the way, how many can you hold?"
"About 40 times."
Yeah, a genius
Even an expert mage is called a genius if he can chant ten times. And four times that
"I can only use low-rank magic at the moment, so it's easier to beat it to death with a simple lump of mana. In the future, I will learn the highest-rank of magic and even use Count-sama's magic!"
"Father's magic?"
"Yes! All the magic used by Shisu-sama's father was unique and not found in existing magic books or legends..."
I failed here
I thought of Harper as just a young lady
No, she's not normal when she can act like this and use magic.
I thought she was at least in the realm of common sense.
"Even with the contents of the documents, there are sixty different kinds! If we're talking about credible gossip from commoners and soldiers, there are over a hundred! The most famous of them all..."
Today's subjugation is a single slime
However, I was extremely tired.
"I was thrilled to hear that he can even handle the rare lightning attribute! And that too..."
I'm sure one can guess why.
