Authors Note: The story will continue with their preparations a little bit more.
Okay, its night time!
Perhaps in response to the scolding he received from miss Bella, Haster is behaving himself tonight.
Lets take this opportunity to make Yigs equipment!
First is the leather collar, but since it had a jade ornament on it, I can go ahead and [Enchant] that gem.
Jade has four enchant slots.
In those Ill put [Signal], which continuously gives off a weak bit of magic power, and [Toughness] to keep it from breaking.
Furthermore, Ill add [Maintained] to extend the transmission time, and then put [Strength] in there as the incomplete part.
“But this is really small Its kinda tough with my abilitiesyeowch?!”
Carving in the magic circle is difficult because of how tiny the attached jewel is. I ended up cutting my finger.
If it was just a little bigger, then I could [Burn] it in like usual
“Yuuri, did you hurt yourself?”
“Yeah, a bit. But it will heal soon.”
“Telling me to leave it alone because “Golden Ratio” will heal it is a little worrying to me as a man though.”
Saying that, he took my injured finger and clamped down on it with his mouth.
Awawawa, my finger, in his mouth! Its getting all tangled up with his tongue, and feels a little g Makes me feel strange Ha?!
“I-its fine now, so Ill get back to work!”
It feels surprisingly good to have my finger licked. Ill try it too next time.
Anyway, theres work to do. Focus.
“Youre carving it onto here? What are you planning to carve?”
“[Signal], [Toughness], [Maintained], and an incomplete [Strength].”
Since Im trying to carve four combined magic circles into a small Jade surface thats not even one centimeter, of course it would be tough.
Especially for me, since Im clumsy.
“Those are all spell patterns that I know, so Ill handle it. You can go take care of some other work while Im at it.”
“Just what I would expect of my master. Youre so reliable when youre being serious.”
“That last part was unnecessary.”
Hes more than dexterous enough to handle something this size.
I can take care of adding the magic power to it later. Ill start on creating a different item.
“Right, maybe I should carve something into this earring too. What do you think, Yig?”
“Ugyu?”
” Hurry and get bigger so you can let me ride you, okay?”
Not knowing about magic spells, he tilts his head while I hug him and consider the contents of the [Enchantment].
Since the pink sh.e.l.l earring is extremely fragile, its not exactly suited to be a magic tool.
Maybe if I wrap a belt around his horn, and then decorate it as a necklace But then theres no real point in enchanting the earring, is there?
“Hmmm”
I guess turning it into a magic tool would be impossible. Which means I could find some other way to use it, but
Sh.e.l.l Calcium carbonate Was it hydrochloric acid that reacted with it?
” Yep, thats a no go. I dont have much of a background in science; I cant think of any effective way to use it. Save me, MacGyver!”
“Who?”
“Its the name of a Hero from back when I was a child. Hes an amazing person who could get into anywhere with a single knife, and do what he needed to do there using only what was at the scene.”
“Thats amazing. Id like to meet him sometime.”
“Thats absolutely impossible.”
“Why?”
Because the person is an American.
Now, more importantly, about the next product I may have an idea.
“Yig, can you mold magic power?”
“Uyu?”
“Like Go hnnnn, and then work it around like whooom, and then release it like Myomyooon.”
” Even I didnt understand that.”
Its hard to explain because its more of a feeling thing.
But, hmmm I thought about it looking at mister Oreas dragon claw staff, but
“We have live materials here, so would “turning claws into magic tools” be impossible as they are?”
“Turning claws into magic tools as they are?”
“Yeah, claws dont have nerves running through them, and theyre excellent magic materials, so I was wondering if I could use them as is.”
“Ive Never thought of that. Except claws grow, so wouldnt it be difficult to turn them into any lasting magic tool?”
“Its fine as long as it lasts for a week.”
“I suppose so.”
Lets see First Ill test it on my own nails.
Ive learned from that time with Haster. I wont repeat the same mistake again.
“Burn the [Light Orb] formula shallowly into my nail, and Ah, it healed already?!”
“Golden Ratio” started healing as soon as the burn went on.
It wont even bother with scratches, but it fixes the shape of my nails in an instant Is it placing different importance depending on the part?
“Lets try it on my nail. Yuuri, put the formula on for me.”
“Okay. Then well go with [Light Orb], since it wont make a mess of the room.”
“Sounds good.”
I create the shape of the magic circle with a weak flame, and carve the formula into his nail.
Normally I would add magic power to it afterward, but Im carving it into his body, which already has magic power. Theres probably no real need to add any to it.
“All done. The command words are “O light”.”
“Got it. Then here goes”
“Oh, I wonder if itll explode?”
“Hey, now you say that?!”
“Im joking. Besides, even if it did explode, it would just be the tip of your finger. It would heal right up for you.”
“Are you serious?”
After sending me a doubtful look, he stretched his finger straight forward and chanted the command words.
“O light”
The magic circle immediately deployed in response to the command word, and a [Light Orb] was released directly in front of him.
In other words, directly in from of my eyes.
“NUWAAAH! My eyes! MY EEEEYES!”
The deployed [Light Orb] released at his maximum magic power, and my eyes were burned like a certain colonels.
My sight was dyed pure white, I fell out of my chair and rolled on the floor while suppressing my agony.
“Oh, whoops.”
“Whoops doesnt really cover it! I thought I was gonna go blind!”
Rising from the floor, I point directly at him and reveal my anger.
“Ugyu?”
“Yuuri, thats Yig.”
“Ooh, sorry Yig. I cant see yet.”
After a short while my sight finally returned, and I looked to verify the results.
“Haster, are you hurt anywhere?”
“Nope. Actually youre the one who took the brunt of it.”
“How is your magic power consumption?”
“It looks like it used all of it in one [Light Ball] use. It doesnt look like well be able to do any fine adjustments like this.”
This is Actually kind of amazing, isnt it?
Because all that needs done is to mold magic power and activate it with the command word, and whatever spell is etched into the body will activate on its own.
Even though the power output cant be adjusted, its perfectly fine for emergency use.
“Hrm”
“Hm? Whats wrong?”
“No, its just A long time ago there were certainly people who had magic circles tattooed into their skin, but”
“So it really is an idea that anyone would think of.”
“They couldnt send out this much power with it though, you know?”
“Yeah?”
Could it be a difference in the ability of the user? Or maybe a difference in the part used as a catalyst?
I confirmed that nails and claws are suited towards magic catalysts when I made mister Oreas staff.
Perhaps skin has low value as a catalyst or something?
“I guess we should test this on mister Oreas nail?”
The results of calling him over and experimenting revealed that he didnt have as much power output as Haster.
This pointed towards the difference in the ability of the user theory.
“But still, carving a spell into your nail? I had no idea that could be done.”
“Thats just how Yuuri thinks. Since she doesnt have common sense like our unwise selves, she shows sudden rhythms of progress to us.”
“My power output was apparently weak, but there are still ways to use this.”
Mister Oreas remained in the room and began discussing the effective use of this with Haster. Get the h.e.l.l out of here already.
“If my power output was at your level, then it would be plenty powerful for a fight.”
“You could use it to blind opponents.”
“Mine cant take it that far though If its a magic spell that deals in ma.s.s quant.i.ties, it may be effective.”
“Like [Water Bolt] or [Fireball]? Those certainly may be optimal for blinding foes.”
“And with there being ten nails to use on our hands, it could be interesting to put different spells on each of them.”
“Hm, since my magic power increased If I take that into account, I may be able to fire in rapid succession, though the power could drop.”
” Oh.”
“Oh?”
I reached a possible conclusion.
On that subject, hes immortal. His nails are probably equal to a dragons claws as magic material.
“Haster, could you clip your nail for me?”
“My nail?”
“Its possible that your nail It could be a high cla.s.s magic tool material, you know?”
“Why Oh!”
It seems he realized too.
That since becoming “Immortal” changes a persons very nature, it probably turned into a vessel equal to a dragons claw.
His nails are always well kept, so he couldnt clip a very big piece off, but we somehow managed to etch a magic spell into the clipped nail.
I chanted the command word to activated the etched [Light Ball].
A light strong enough that I felt like a heard a big VWOOM lit the area, and then disappeared.
“Like I thought”
“So it seems. Ill have to be careful when clipping my nails from now on.”
“Who would have thought you yourself would become material.”
“But now our verification is finished. It should be possible to use Yigs claws in the same way.”
“But Yig wont be able to speak a command word, right?”
“As long as he imagines it and makes a specified sound, it should work fine.”
I etch a single magic circle into Yigs claw.
Ive never kept his claws clipped but, just like people, there didnt appear to be nerves running through them, which was a relief.
But still, this is just what Id expect of Fafnirs young.
The heat I used to burn the nail was far stronger than Hasters Actually, I put in enough magic power to burn iron, and somehow managed to etch it in successfully.
“Yig, Ive put [Light Ball] into this nail so you can blind people. The command word is Agya.”
“Thats a terrible command word.”
“An thatsjust fine. Please give it a try, Yig.”
“Agya!”

When I woke up, it was the next morning.
What the heck was that, a stun grenade?
Leave it to a dragon to have such ridiculous magic power. I was knocked out in an instant, and when I opened my eyes the sun was rising.
In any case, thats one countermeasure complete. If I just continue preparing countermeasures little by little like this, we should be able to manage one way or another in a week.
“M-morning. I never thought I would be able to welcome such a healthy morning.”
“Good morning, Haster. I dont feel like Ive slept a wink you know?”
“Ugh kgh”
Haster aside, I never thought I would greet the morning together with mister Oreas.
