Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 103

‘Iris, that part is different because it is inconsistent with the fundamental magic formula, isn’t it?’

“Oh, really. …… Then how about this one?””

“…… It’s also compatible with the Attribute Based Magic Formula. It is properly compatible with the Attribute Recognition Magic Formula, and it is tied to the contractor.”

Several hours of work were spent analyzing the summoning magic circle. The sun had already set just above the horizon and was about to reach the time of day when the temperature was at its hottest.

“Phew, we’re almost done. I guess we’ ll be done with the analysis in a little while.”

Lily stood tall as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“I’m almost done,”

“I haven’t used my brain this much in a long time.”

The effects of the approach of summer from spring are gradually beginning to be seen, even in the cold regions of the northeast of the empire. Until recently, the nights were chilly, but nowadays it is no longer cold and freezing at night. The days were warm …… or even hot, depending on the day, and spring was definitely coming to an end.

“Hey, pupils! Your food is ready!”

We heard a voice from the house and turned around to see Marie waving her hand and calling for us.

“Let’s head back for now,”

“I know, I’m a little tired, let’s take a break.”

“Yes, let’s take a break”.

What’s for lunch today? The meals that Marie prepares are not only good for the health but also very tasty. It is so good that Marie can compete with Lily, who is a first-rate cook.

“Today’s lunch is a steak sandwich with seven-colored pheasant.”

“Pheasant!”

Pheasant

The seven-colored pheasant is a kind of pheasant that is said to live only in the Demon Forest, and it is a mysterious pheasant that literally has seven different colors of plumage. It has a juicy and flavorful meat like the best thigh meat with abundant magical power, and is considered one of the luxury foods that are rarely served at the dinner table even in the imperial capital.

I hear it’s quite rare in the world. If you live in the Demon Forest, seven-colored pheasants are an everyday occurrence.

It is not that the seven-colored pheasant is an extinct species with a small population, only that it is hard to find in the market because it lives in the Demon Forest.

Living in the forest is not only good for training, but also has other advantages. This food is also a benefit. Not only is the food rich in magical power tasty, but it is also digested and absorbed by the body, increasing its magical power.

“I’ve never heard of that before.”

“Is there such an amazing result?”

The ladies are closing in on Marie.. They say that more magic power is good for your beauty and keeps you young. I could understand why they were so desperate for a reason other than just “I want to be strong. I don’t really think it’s a problem since they are still young. …… I mean, maybe.

‘Marie looks so young because she lives in the demon Forest?

‘No, that can’t be it!　This is a racial trait of m trib , you idiot!　High elves have an abnormally long life span and grow slowly!”

The red, embarrassed and furious Marie was quite cute, like a child throwing a tantrum. I wonder if high elves have ears that wiggle up and down when they are emotional. It’s a new discovery.

“Well then, let’s get to the last part .”

Oooh.”

We regain our spirits as we face the stack of papers spread out on the tab;e . We’ve already finished analyzing most of it, the summoning magic circle. All we had to do was make a final review, redesign the magic circle for our own use, and we were done.

With the sun’s rays slightly tilting in the direction of our backs, we were absorbed in our work while chatting .

✳︎︎

“And it’s done!

“Now we’re all done!”

“Our very own divine beast ……. I wonder what kind of beast will be summoned ?”

Finally, the analysis and design work was finished, and we were able to stand at the starting line where we could try to make contract with Divine Beast.

“Oh, it’ was sooner than I thought. Which one, let me see.”

Marie , who had suddenly come out to the front, went around checking the magic circle we had created one by one.

All three of you have no particular problems. You understand the nature of the magic circle and are able to create your own magic formula. You have passed the test.

“Yay!”

Marie finally prised us .

“Then, let’s start summoning. First, Iris. You first.”

“Yes.”

Iris is the least unusual of the three of us. Even though she has the peculiarity of being an attacker, she is nevertheless a light-attribute. And since other wizards have summoned light-attribute divine beasts, it seems that we can avoid any unexpected situations.

Iris, under Marie’s order , draws a summoning magic circle of her own on the ground. When Iris finished drawing the huge formation, which was several meters in diameter, Marie gave a brief explanation.

:Once you have kneaded the light-attribute magic power, you must transform it into the magic circle. There is no need for chanting or manipulating magic power. Just keep the ideal image of the divine beast you want in your mind and think about it.:

“I understand.”

Iris nodded, closed her eyes, and began to knead the magic. The layers of light-attribute magic power weaved into Iris’s body swelled up, and she gradually began to glow.

“Now, transform the magic into the magic circle.”

“Yes!”

Iris changed magic power into the magic circle. The magic circle begins to glow from the edges, as if it has been brought to life.

“Oh, ……”

“It’s amazing, isn’t it?”

And just as the glow reached its peak, the silhouette of something emerged from the center of the magic circle.

‘That’s enough.’

At Marie’s instruction, Iris stopped injecting magic power. The glowing magic circle gradually fade and the surroundings returned to it’s original brightness. Indeed, the divine beast that appeared in response to the summons is —-.

“Cuey!”

“Chameleon?”

Iris muttered. What appeared from the center of the magic circle was a cute yellow-green chameleon about 30 centimeters long.

“Iris. You must give him a name.’

“I will name him. ………… your name is Leon. “Nice to meet you, Leon.

Leon, the chameleon, stuck out his tongue and licked Iris’s hand. . It seemed that communication was possible.

I don’t think the name Leon…… is a little too easy, but since it (or rather, the lizard) seems to be happy, I don’t mind.

The chameleon is a protective color that can be manipulated at will. It would be the perfect beast for Iris, who can use the “optical camouflage stealth” of light attribute .

Iris was patting Leon with a face that looked as if it was not full of joy (although it was as close to a straight face as ever).
