Misfid House's Magic Tools

 I wonder how far have we been walking? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Just as I was absent-mindedly thinking ‘Are we there, yet?’, Schugel stopped in his tracks.

 There was a solid door with a keyhole in front, and Schugel took out a key from his breast pocket and inserted the key into the keyhole, and poured his mana into it.

 Immediately after that, mana spread on the entirety of the door and I can hear the sound of a lock opening with a click.

「Welcome, to the Misfid house’s Magic Tool collection」

 Inside the dim stone room were the magic tools owned by the Misfid House on display.

 A soft, red carpet with fine texture is laid on the floor and several display cases are lined up.

 Inside the cases were magic tools with shapes I’d never seen before.

「Amaziiーng! Papa got more magic tools?」

「Yes, I added around 30 since I last brought Ranna here」

 Schugel said as if boasting to Ra-chan.

 Did the number increase by that much in just a short time? Amazing.

「Is it really okay for me to take anything from here?」

「There are limits to what you can take of course, but I’ll just be flexible with most of them. The technique Alfried-dono taught Gideon was worth that much after all」

 It looks like Schugel highly valued that chant cancellation technique that Gideon has shown mastery of.

 I’m grateful.

 If I can get to choose most of the magic tools among them then I will do so without hesitation.

「Al, I will tell you if there’s something you don’t understand, alright?」

 Ra-chan says it in a way that seems like she really wants me to ask her.

 There are a lot of magic tools I don’t know the use of here so I decided I would ask without hesitation.

「What is this wand?」

「Flames will appear when you charge it with mana!」

「Then, this yellow stick is for?」

「Lightning will appear when you charge it with mana!」

 Apparently, the wands inside these display cases are the types that can cast the attribute magic when you pour mana into them.

 If you have a poor aptitude for a certain elemental aptitude, you might be able to compensate for that with these wands, but they are unnecessary for me since I can use all elemental attributes.

 Giving up on the wands, I move on to the next display cases.

「What is this ring for?」

「That will make you be able to create barrier!」

「Heeー, can I try it out for a bit?」

「Of course」

 After receiving Schugel’s permission, I try putting on the ring. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 When I poured my mana into the ring, a barrier deployed right in front of me.

「Ueeehh, this is so inflexible」

 There might be an advantage since it appears right in front of the caster immediately, but it takes time for the barrier to be created in the designated location and you can’t change the size of the barrier. It is also not possible to change the increase and decrease of the barrier’s strength, nor is it possible to change the shape midway.

 As someone who can cast Shield chantlessly and at will, this is unnecessary for me.

「Hahaha, that magic tool was made for people who can not use magic after all!」

 But even if it’s a useless thing for me, for the general public who can’t create Shield, this is probably a reassuring self-defense magic tool for them.

「If you are a magician at Alfried-dono’s level, then this magic tool might be more interesting」

 Schugel beckons me to move with him.

「This glasses, it’s missing its lens, isn’t it?」

「Try wearing it and push the switch on the frame」

 When I did as Schugel told me, a thin film of water suddenly formed.

「Ooh! It helps focus the sight by creating a film of water!」

「Yes, it’s called Water Glasses」

 This is certainly not a magic tool for combat I’ve seen until now and it’s interesting.

 It’s the type of magic tools that I like, magic tools that will help enrich your life.

 Giving this to people such as Nord-tousan - who often works to take care of his duties as the head of the house - and Sylvio-niisan - who loves reading - will probably make them happy.

「Papa, what is this red robeー?」

 It’s probably a magic tool even Ra-chan didn’t know of. She asked while picking up a red robe on the hanger.

「That’s a Fire Rat’s robe. It is made from the hide of Fire Rat that lives deep in volcanoes and it has been enchanted with magic. Not only will it help you with the heat if you wear it, you will also be protected from Fire magic up to the intermediate level」

 Hm, I don’t really care about the ability of the robe he said in the latter half, but the first one is attractive.

 If I have that, I might be relatively okay even when walking in the desert of Lazur.

 But, since I can already Teleport to places like Jaisal and Lazerica, it might not be such an important magic tool at this point.

 Ra-chan also asks for other items and magic tools such as a wand that can cast two magic attributes and a lamp that reproduces fire using light magic and such were then explained. As I listened to only things I was interested in and ignored the things I didn’t, I suddenly noticed a luxurious display case.

「This is a healing ring. It allows you to use recovery magic in proportion to the amount of mana you offered to the ring」

「……that’s amazing」

 I was simply moved by this magic tool. To think there was such an amazing magic tool.

「Unfortunately, this is one thing I can not give to Alfried-dono. This is a disposable magic tool made by the saint from the Holy Istania Empire for me」

「That’s a little unfortunate but there is no helping it」

 Compared to my previous life, this is a different world where the development of medical technology lagged behind. And even though there is a limit to the number of times it can be used, the value of magic tools that can heal wounds in proportion to the amount of mana offered is outrageous.

 Oh well, I can also use recovery magic more or less so it’s not that disappointing but I’ll just act like it is. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「There are a lot of different kinds of magic tools in this room, it’s fun!」

「So Alfried-dono understands it as well! The romance of magic tools! Ahー, my wife does not understand the greatness of magic tools――」

 It was just a casual remark I said, but it seemed like I’ve flipped a switch in Schugel’s mind. Words expressing his extraordinary enthusiasm for magic tools escaped his mouth.

 Err, I just like them because they make our daily life convenient, I don’t enjoy collecting magic tools like Schugel and I don’t find this ‘romance’ in magic tools at all.

 Be that as it may, I’m going to receive it from him - someone who loves magic tools. There’s no way I can say I have no interest in magic tools now.

 As I nodded along to what he said with ‘uh huh uh huh’ just like when I brush off Gregor’s doll talk, a familiar magic tool caught my eye.

「Ah, it’s Varschell」

「That’s a Varschell made by the famous Varschell maker, Bariton(バリトン). The materials used are different from the ones provided by the Academy and the tones it produces are also different」

「Can I touch it?」

「Sure, I don’t mind」

 Although it is Schugel’s personal belonging, I had once touched Varschell before.

 I was curious what kind of sound this high-quality Varschell was like.

 He takes out the Varschell from the display case and I take it in my hands.

 When I gathered mana into my fingertips, strings that seemed to run along the Varschell’s body were created.

「Hmm. Even though the ordinary person can not even string all the strings, as expected of you」

 Indeed, if you can’t manipulate mana to a certain extent, even forming and stringing the strings would probably be uncertain.

 The more strings there are the more you are required to maintain it and it is difficult.

 After spreading the appropriate amount of mana through each one of the strings, I try playing the Varschell.

「Ah, it’s true. It’s completely different.....」

 I knew it as soon as I played the Varschell. The richness of the sound is completely different.

「The richness of the overtones, the smoothness of the resonance, and the responsiveness of the sound when it begins to sound are completely different, right?」

 If you are using this Varschell, I’m convinced that you will be able to entertain people even if you are inviting a crowd of people and play it in a hall.

「Neko funjatta.....neko funjatta」

「Ahahaha, what’s thatー」

 As I lightly tried to play a tune, Ra-chan happily laughed at the song.

 I also played the tune at the Water Show, but even if it’s the same tune it sounds completely like a different song. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「This Varschell is nice」

 Although I don’t have a plan to go to the Magic Academy, making music as one of my hobbies is not a bad idea.

「If that Varschell is fine with you, I can give it to you」

「Thank you very much」

「However, I think a single Varschell is a little cheap as compensation. So as an apology for the misunderstanding before I will let you choose one more magic tool」

「Really!?」

 I should gratefully accepts it if he were to give me another magic tool.

 Nonetheless, I have already received a magic tool so I can’t bring myself to ask for something expensive.

 As I searched for an interesting magic tool with a decent performance, I came across a model with the shape of a red dragon.

●

「Ara, Al. You look to be in a good mood.」

 When I was about to return to my room after receiving the magic tools from Schugel, I came across Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan having tea on the hall’s sofa.

 I wonder why they don’t have their tea in their own room instead of the hall, but I guess they are already so used to the Slowlett house’s mansion that they can’t calm down in an overly spacious room at all. 

「I received a Varschell from Schugel-sama」

「Ara, can I see it」

 Since Elna-kaasan showed an interest in it, I showed her the Varschell I got from Schugel.

「……isn’t this an awfully fine Varschell?」

「It seems to be specially made and different from the ones provided by the Academy, you know? It seems to be made by a person named Bariton and has about 15 strings?」

「Bariton you say!?」

 The moment I answered like that, Elna-kaasan cried out in surprise while Nord-tousan - who had tea in his mouth - choked.

「……is he that amazing of a person?」

「Not only is he a performing Varschell musician, he is also a top-notch Varschell maker. There are not even 50 of the Varschell he made in the country」

 I don’t know much about the music world, but it seems like he is an extraordinarily famous maker of high-quality products.

「Right, and the price was more than 20 platinum coins, was it not?」

 Nord-tousan said despite having a coughing fit.

 What kind of musical instrument costs more than 20 platinum coins? It’s definitely something a pro would use.

 It’s an item worth choking on. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「There is…the name of the maker on the body. This is unmistakably the real thing」

「Kaasan knows about it?」

「My parent's company also dealt with Varschell and I was also a little interested in it」

 Come to think of it, Elna-kaasan is the daughter of a merchant.

 That’s impressive of her, to have an eye for musical instruments.

「Heeー, I’d like to hear Elna-kaasan playing the Varschell」

「…………I will let you hear it next time」

 When I requested her to play a song as if to take advantage of the situation, Elna-kaasan quickly averted her gaze.

 Even though she showed such an interest before, it’s kinda suspicious she didn’t want to play it for me.

「Don’t tell me, you actually can’t play it?」

「That’s not true. Elna is really good at playing Varschell. She already said she will let you hear her play next time so let’s look forward to that time」

 When I tried to provoke her, Nord-tousan kindly said that as if to make me understand.

「Y ,yes. I will practice with the Varschell so everyone can hear me playing a song」

 Even Elna-kaasan who tends to find things bothersome would be unable to resist it when her beloved husband said that.

 I’m sure she would start practicing Varschell seriously despite grumbling when we returned to our mansion.

 This is also an interesting turn of events in its own way.

「When is the exact time we will be able to hear you play?」

「I’ll think about it when we return to our territory」

「I guess so」

 I tried to set a set date so she couldn’t escape, but Elna-kaasan prevented me from doing so.

 Oh well, Nord-tousan looks to be also quite interested in it so I decide to bring up the topic again once things have calmed down www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「I’ve been wondering about it since a while ago, but what is that red thing tucked under your arm?」

 She probably wants to change the subject that is disadvantageous to herself. Elna-kaasan brings up a different topic.

「Ah, this is a magic tool I received from Schugel-sama」

「Even though the Varschell was amazing enough, you still receive another magic tool!?」

 Perhaps it’s because the price of the Varschell before was so expensive that Nord-tousan looked strangely anxious.

「It was thanks to teaching Gideon-sama some magic, and also an apology for the misunderstanding before……」

「Aah, if that is the reason then, well.....」

 When I told him that I didn’t get it by playing it with my own money or by going into debt, Nord-tousan let out a sigh of relief.

「So, what kind of magic tool is that?」

「Take a look a this!」

「……a dragon model? Somehow I have a bad feeling about this」

 Elna-kaasan gave me a suspicious look when I placed the red, dragon-shaped magic tool on the table.

「This isn’t just a model. You pour your mana into it and operate the attached control device to make it move」

 I levitate the dragon model magic tool I got from Schugel while explaining on how it works.

「Look! It’s not just floating in the air! The wings can actually move too!? What’s more, you can change the angle of its neck freely and even the tail can move! It’s amazing, isn’t it!?」

「Eh? It can only do that? Even though it’s a magic tool, it does not have any practicality?」

 When I told them the reason why I chose this among the numerous magic tools, Elna-kaasan cut me off with a serious look on her face. That’s awful.

「No no, you can control it remotely, you know!? Isn’t that amazing!?」

「If you want to control things remotely, you can just use the non-attribute magic 『Psychic』 right?」

「Well that’s true in my case, but it’s not the same」

「In what way?」

 There is no such thing as a radio control things in this world.

 Therein, Elna-kaasan doesn’t understand at all how revolutionary this magic tool is, one that was made with remote control in mind.

「There’s something kinda romantic in operating something as intricately made as this, don’t you think?」

「?? I’m sorry. I don’t understand at all what Al meant by ‘romantic’」

 I tried to talk about the reason to Elna-kaasan but she completely denied me.

 This is why women are such creatures. www

.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「Even if you can’t use Psychic, anyone can use it, you know?」

「Ha, haaa……」

「And it is such a cool dragon, isn’t it?」

「……yes, you’re right」

 N, not good. Elna-kaasan’s reaction was like when someone was paying no attention to their superior when they gave them a long sermon.

「Why? Why don’t you understand how good this magic tool is? Nord-tousan understand it, right?」

「……I’m sorry. I also do not quite understand what Al wants to say. But I want to understand it since Al was talking about it so passionately」

「Eeh!?」

 Even though I thought Nord-tousan would understand it since we are both men.

「It’s not like dragons are that cool of a creature, you know? They have arrogant personalities and look down on those other than themselves, they will start to run away as fast as they can the moment an opponent stronger than them appears, you know?」

 But since the people who actually hunt dragons said that then Elna-kaasan’s words are probably as correct as they could possibly be.

 But you know, I don’t want to hear such a realistic talk. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
