Chapitre 17: Birth
"Thank you very much."
I, my parents, and the villagers who attended the baptismal ceremony like us, leave the church while thanking the priest and sister.
Immediately after the baptismal ceremony, the children who became able to use magic began to test their powers.
Of course, that was only an interest-oriented decision, and each parent was a bit angry since they should've waited until they got home to cast the magic.
However, while watching them, I tried to activate life magic myself.
I have found out something as a result.
I found out that all the effects of life magic are the same for everyone who casts it.
For example, all the light that comes out by chanting [Light] has the same brightness and magnitude, and the effect time does not change.
The scale of the phenomena that appear when magic is activated is the same for things like [Ignition] and [Water].
Apparently, this was the same when comparing a child who had just learned life magic with an adult who had been using it for a long time.
I myself didn't see any change, no matter how much I tried to improve the amount of magical power used.
What this means is that it is not possible to arrange the life magic of [Ignition] to become a magic that shoots fire like a flamethrower.
To be honest, I feel disappointed.
Until now, I couldn't use magic to create flashy things like fire and water, so I thought that if I could get life magic, that problem might be solved.
It can be said that my faint hope has been shattered.
Well, it was a pity, but it can't be helped.
Let's forget the idea of improving life magic.
Because there was another harvest at this baptismal ceremony.
The magic circle used by Father Paul.
I was excited to go home, thinking that the magic circle might have the potential to allow me to see the facts about magic from this world.
* * *
"No, I don't know what those symbols mean at all."
It was good to perfectly remember the magic circle used by Father Paul using the original magic of [Memory Retention].
However, it is not possible to decipher the magic circle in which unclear symbols are written in a quick time.
Or rather, if I think about it, I don't really know the characters of writing in this world.
Until now, getting food to eat has been the first priority, and magical research has been repeated to achieve that goal.
The only thing I could write properly was the word Ars, my name.
I'm not even clear on whether the symbols engraved on the magic circle are still in use today.
Huh?
I had been thinking that while in the hideout that I created in the forest.
Piki, Piki.
I hear such a sound.
At first I didn't know what the sound was.
However, I can hear the sound from around my waist.
When I realized that, I turned my body and looked at the Familiar Egg.
"Oh, will you finally be born?"
Inside the net containing the Familiar Egg that was wrapped around the waist.
That was the source of the mysterious sound.
There was a crack created on the shell of the egg with a snapping sound.
I was not the cause of this crack.
Cracks spread on the egg as if force was applied from the inside to the outside, and porori, shell fragments fell to the floor.
In a hurry, I take the egg out of the net and place it on the floor in the center of the room.
By this time, the egg has grown to swell more than twice its original size.
Is it a little smaller than a softball?
What kind of Familiar will be born?
I keep watching how the egg shell breaks with excitement bubbling in me.
"... It's been so long. Should I help it break free?"
The Familiar inside seems to have had a harder time breaking out of the egg than I expected.
Since it isn't coming out easily, I'm worried whether it's really okay.
However, it seems that the worry was also just unnecessary.
After waiting for a long period of time, the Familiar finally broke the shell on its own and showed its appearance from there.
It is a four-legged animal with white hair all over its body.
The head has small but fine-looking horns.
There were two horns on its head.
Those horns are not straight, but bend twice at an angle close to a right angle.
A small creature with reindeer-like horns, four legs, and soft white hair covering its whole body.
That was the figure of the Familiar born from my magical power.
