Chapter 21
Girl and the Magic Tale 2
“Lernda, magic is something that produces both good and bad results depending on how you use it.”
I’m learning about magic from my aunt now.
Gaius and his son Griffon are with him. Gaius said he’d take it with him because he was interested in magic. And then the child Griffons said, “Guru (ask with Lernda!)” And here I am.
My aunt also smiled and accepted that Gaius and the child Griffons would listen together. Me, my aunt’s tender smile, I like it.
“Really?
“Yeah. That’s right. Lernda, magic is a powerful force. Though I think it’s good to have power. Having the power means that you have to be careful how you use it. All the inhabitants of this village are kind. My proud companions. But… the last time Lernda magically cured him, if a bad adult found him, he might be forced to cure the wound because it’s not what Lernda found out.”
“… oh”
The beasts here are gentle. You worry about me because you’re sweet. Even if you’re angry with me about not being impotent about Gaius. But it just so happens that, luckily, everyone I met was sweet. I was really lucky. I thought so.
Realize that again.
“In order not to be like that, Lernda should learn about magic properly. I’m sorry, but I can’t actually use magic, so I can only convey knowledge.”
“Auntie, ma’am. Knowledge, pleasure. Thanks.”
I don’t have any knowledge of magic either. Magic was a long way from me being only a village daughter. There was no one around to be able to use magic, even if I knew it existed, I never saw magic. I knew it was strange how many times I thought I could use magic like that.
“What you need to use magic is aptitude and magic. There’s nothing in this village that weighs magical aptitude, so I can’t weigh it. I think Lernda has a high degree of sacred magic aptitude, considering she healed her wounds before this. You can’t use all that magic in a situation where you haven’t learned magic without being highly qualified.”
That’s what my aunt said.
Apparently my sacred magic aptitude is high. Highly aptitude means that I can heal more injured people if I try my best. Holy magic, I want to be good at it. Then, even if the people I love get hurt, I can cure them.
“Guru (Lernda Awesome)”
“Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (I don’t know, Lernda. Looks happy!
Lema and Luma, Raymer’s sons, were arranging my left and right, listening to my aunt and giving her voice, cautioning her aunt to “be quiet”. The other two children, Griffon, are to Gaius’s left and right. Gaius was seriously listening to his aunt.
“I don’t know if there’s any other suitability, but… Lernda seems to have a lot of magic. If I could learn magic properly, I think Lernda would be a great adult.”
“Cancer, cancer, ru”
I don’t know what an amazing adult is, but I think it’s a good thing to work hard. I can’t practice magic at present, but if I can learn what magic is, I think it will be good for the future, so I will try.
“Magical aptitude is fire, water, wind, earth, thunder, darkness, light, divine magic. Holy magic is the most special aptitude of this aptitude that heals wounds. That’s why there are few things that can use sacred magic. A lot of people who can use sacred magic are often taken away by the temple without their own will relationship. So if Lernda doesn’t want to be taken away by the temple, don’t let the priests understand that there is a sacred magical fitness.”
That’s all magical aptitude is, he was listening to me thinking heh, but if he could use sacred magic, he’d be taken away by the temple. The temple is where my sister was taken, isn’t it? That’s troublesome. He needs to be aware of that, even though he may be a godson.
“Auntie, what’s a temple?
“Oh, a temple is a place dedicated to God in a big city. We live in the woods, and we raise up familiar beings like Griffon as gods, but you worship the gods who made this world a temple in a big country and so forth. Gaius wouldn’t be learning about the gods who made this world, would he? It’s the temple that worships those gods… Especially for us beasts. There’s nothing we can call a country, and there’s about a village like the one we live in. It is the kingdom of man that makes a temple. I don’t have a country but a human being, and I can’t afford to make a temple. Maybe some people have a temple, but I don’t know any of them.”
That’s what my aunt said to Gaius.
My aunt said that only humans have a country. There’s a country, and I can afford it, so I’m building a temple…. I’ve only heard a little about God who made this world in the village where he was born and raised. Though I don’t know much about it.
“Oh, so if a human finds out that Lelunda can use that sacred magic, you mean he’ll be taken?
“Probably. Even Lernda is human…… If you find out you’re living in this village, you might find some troublesome people, so you should be careful.”
Humans and beasts.
If we were close, there might be trouble springing up.
Mr. Athos also said that humans sometimes enslave beastmen, and I wish I’d stop doing that. How can you make the same beast man as all the gentle people, like that? Think about it, it’s coming back.
“Really…”
“Oh. That’s right. So, Gaius, there’s Lady Raimer, and I’m sure she’ll be fine, but I’m going to protect Lernda.”
“Oh. Of course!
Gaius answered his aunt’s words without hesitation. Gaius, you have to protect me. Glad. I was getting a little happy listening to Gaius.
“And back to magic. The more aptitude you have for magic, the more advanced magic you can use, and the lower you are, the more magical it can be, but it doesn’t make sense. In history, no matter how much magic there is, there are people who have struggled without magic.”
“Auntie, what’s the magic of physical strengthening? Which would be in aptitude?
“Oh, you forgot that explanation, too. There are things that can’t be classified anywhere, such as physical strengthening. That’s something anyone can use as long as they have magic. Known as the magic used by the so-called unsuitable…”
“Heh, can I use it too?
“If you had magic, you could use it, but what do you think? If you’re curious, you might want to learn. That said, there are more overwhelming people who can’t use magic, so don’t be depressed if you can’t. It’s just that Lernda has enough magic, so if you learn, maybe you can use the magic of physical enhancement.”
I was listening to my aunt as she took notes using the letters I had learned.
In short, I wonder if you can use physical enhancement, etc., without an aptitude relationship. I think magic that can be used as long as it has magic power is useful, but I wonder if there’s a name for the magic that something without its aptitude uses. That means my aunt won’t tell me. The magic of physical strengthening, I’d like to see it available. I thought I’d ask someone in the village who could use physical enhancement.
