Chapter 154 The End and The Beginning ③?

Part 1

To the ignorant me at that time, magic was a miracle that made all things possible, unconditionally.

Now, I know that it is not true, but I was just a kid at that time, so I would push my list of the strongest magic I could think of on my Imouto?with a smile on my face and troubled her, or present her with a wand of my own making and sulk when she wasn’t using it, I really did whatever I wanted.

Lucia was serious and studious, so despite her reluctance, she did her best and recreated my 『List of the Strongest Magic I have in my mind』 by combining existing magic.

When she did, I was clapping my hands in delight while saying *sugoi sugoi* awesome, awesome, and pointed out small mistakes she made and got punched by Lucia.

Now, I am really sorry for what I did back then.

Well, it isn’t directly related to those children’s play, but before long, she had acquired a vast amount of magical power, magical knowledge, created countless original magic, and become one of the most praised “Magi (Madoushi)” in Zebrudia.

One day, I got tired of magic and became absorbed in the existence of the things that I could use, Relics.

Sytry brought out a small glass bottle, carefully picked Tino up, and put her in.

The pitch-black frog was looking up at me with *uruuru* teary eyes from the inside of the transparent bottle.

“With this, she will be fine……” (Sytry)

No, I don’t think she is fine at all……

I widened my eyes, lifted the bottle containing Tino which had become extra small, and frowned.

“So it has been created…… The 『Witch’s Miracle : Frog Edition (Witch’s Arcane)』” (Cry)

This is exactly the kind of magic I wanted to see with my own two eyes after reading about it in a fairy tale when I was still a child but didn’t Lucia assure me that it was impossible to do.

It is a magic that appears in the third or fourth volume of the “Strongest magic I have in my mind”. I have been told that such magic didn’t exist, or that I have to deal with the law of conservation of mass, or that I have to think about ethics, or that leaving aside changing people into a frog, how can we even change it back, and so on and so forth.

I never thought I would see it with my own two eyes after so many years. It is hard to react when you actually see it happening in front of you.

“………… I wonder if we can undo it?” (Cry)

“!???? *Kero* Croak!?” (Tino)

“Isn’t it fine to leave it like this for now? This is, in its own way, very cute……” (Sytry)

“*Kero* Croak!? *Kero Kero Kero* Croak croak croak!” (Tino)

Sytry was saying something outrageous. To an “Alchemist (Renkinjutsu-shi)”, a frog would be a potion ingredient.

Tino-kaeru was desperately hitting the bottle.

Would it work if we use a 『High-Elixir (Elixir off all thing)』……? Ummmmh……

In the first place, I don’t understand why Lucia being *kankan* very mad would result in Tino turning into a frog.

Lucia and Tino are as close as real sisters. Lucia is less blunt than the Smart sisters, so Tino should have been very fond of Lucia.

As if Sytry had come up with a good idea, she put her hands together with a big smile on her face.

“We shall go and welcome Lucia-chan! I think she will be in a better mood if we do this.” (Sytry)

“As much as I would love to welcome her, we are under siege……” (Cry)

I feel like we shouldn’t move if Lucia and the others are coming.

Lucia is strong. In Strange Grief, she is second only to Anthem who is Level 7, she is a Level 6 (and quite close to being Level 7) “Magi (Madoushi)”. In particular, her power is most prominent in one-on-many battles, and she has the highest kill count in our Party (Which is natural, in a sense, since she’s a Magi).

This job was very compatible with her. Lucia should be able to fight off a large number of bandits easily. It is good if she defeats them or even puts them to sleep.

No, if Lucia is coming here, then Luke and the others should be coming here too. Putting aside Anthem and Eliza, I hope…… Luke doesn’t overdo it.

Tino-kaeru, which has the same color as Tino’s hair, *peshipeshi* tapped on the bottle and appealed to me with her eyes.

It can’t be helped, as we have Sytry with us, we will somehow be able to manage the bandits.

Just as I stood up, Arnold came running into my room while kicking the door.

His armor was covered in blood and he seemed to have fought very hard, but his expression was way different from when he left, he was pale like he had just seen a demon.

“Haa… Haa… Haa………… Ah………… Aaaah…… Cry. This is………… Bad. I don’t know what’s happening…… But………… Aaah…… What’s going on?” (Arnold)

As he was saying something incoherent, he extended his thick arm and opened his covered arms in front of my eyes.

On his arm were… Seven colorful frogs.

………… This is bad, Tino will get mixed up.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

So Lucia becoming a super magi is due to Cry!

I wonder what else is written on his “Strongest Magic I have in my mind”. And also how many volumes there are!

What do you think it is written inside? A spell to transform into a mahou shoujo? A spell to create a bag with infinite storage space? XD

Tchao à plus!
