Haru tells me my status, but nothing has changed, from skills and magic to magical attributes and skills.
âBrother, is there any change in you? What about your physical condition, magic power, anything?â (Haru)
I tilted my head and put my finger in front of me again and chanted.
âFlame.â (Kei)
As I chanted, a large amount of magic power gathered at my fingertips, and a small flame appeared. This time it lasted a few seconds longer than before. The flame flickered clearly on my finger.
âYouâre using a lot of magical power, arenât you?â (Haru)
âYeah, I used enough magic to cast ten enchantments in the last few seconds.â (Kei)
âIs your finger hot?â (Haru)
âTo be honest, theyâre kind of hot. If I hadnât raised my status, I might have burned myself.â (Kei)
After thinking for a while, Haru puts her finger forward.
â[Bomb]â (Haru)
Haru chanted a Magic she always uses. A ball of light appeared on Haruâs finger and stayed there.
âThe magic on my finger right now is not hot at all. Even when I try to raise the temperature, it doesnât feel hot to me. The light coming out is getting stronger, so the temperature must be rising. Can you feel the heat of the [Bomb] in this state?â (Haru)
When I brought my hand close to the [Bomb] currently on the tip of Haruâs finger, I could feel the heat even when I was some distance away. If I get close to Haruâs hand, I am likely to get burned even in with my current status.
âItâs pretty hot. Maybe if I touch that [Bomb], my finger will get burned.â (Kei)
âIn other words, itâs designed to be used by the invoker. On the other hand, brotherâs flame hot even to the invoker. Itâs a completely deteriorated version. Or an improvement.â (Haru)
âI think Haruâs [Bomb] looks much like an improved version. Itâs too convenient for you.â (Kei)
The ball of light, the [Bomb], falls from Haruâs hand, and when it hits the ground, the ground burns with a small boom.
âI think that the inventors of many useful tools and technologies have worked hard to reduce or eliminate the harm they do to people. I think there are very few things that are truly beneficial from the start.â (Kei)
Haru sticks out her finger and chants.
âFlame.â (Haru)
Nothing appeared on Haruâs hand.
âFlame.â (Haru)
The magic gathered at Haruâs fingertips and was released directly into the atmosphere.
âWhat is it now?â (Haru)
âI just tried to gather the magic at my fingertips. It doesnât seem to make any sense.â (Kei)
Haru smiles and stares at her fingertips again.
âFlame.â (Haru)
The magic power gathered at Haruâs fingertips and a small flame appeared. But it was only for a moment, and then it was gone.
âOh, I see what you mean. The flame.â (Haru)
Many times more magic power gathered at Haruâs fingertips than before, and fire appeared again. The fire did not disappear immediately but hovered over Haruâs finger for several dozen seconds.
As I watched the fire on Haruâs fingertips disappear, I asked her a question.
âDid you discover something?â (Kei)
âHmm, I donât know the principle, but I think I know how it works. Maybe.â (Haru)
Haru lowered the hand she had been holding out in front of her and gathered the magic near her heart. Haru did not open her mouth or move her hand. But a small flame appeared in Haruâs chest.
âBrother, youâre staring for too long.â (Haru)
pouted a little and moved the flame to the side of her face. A large amount of magical power was gathered in the path where the flame moved before disappearing.
âMaybe the trigger for this magic is imagination and magic power, the belief that such a thing is possible and the flow of magic power. I think itâs because my brother and I see and work with magic on a regular basis.â (Haru)
âHaru has [Magic manipulation] and I have [Domination]?â (Kei)
âYeah, thatâs right. I donât think Iâm wrong. Iâll tell you my theory.â (Haru)
Haru smiled and created a flame on her chest again.
