Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 105

“Well, I’m the last one.”

“Well, then. ……Eberhard. you are different, for some reason you have no aptitude for attribute magic. This is really a rare case and even I can’t predict how it will turn out. You must be very careful when summoning it.”

Marie-san warns me with a serious look on her face. It seems that she too will be on the guard so that she can deal with anything that may happen.

“Yes, I will be careful.”

“Then begin the summoning.’

“Yeah.”

I used something like a white line marker to draw a summoning magic circle on the ground, just like the other two.

In most cases, when using normal magic, the magic circle itself is created by magic power. This is because it is faster, and the magic circle can be created in any location – even underwater or in the air.

However, when one want to use a big magic that cannot fail, it recommended to draw the magic circle directly on the ground, floor, wall, paper, and so on .

‘…… Okay, you cannot make a mistake.’ ……

I drew a magic circle that was exactly the same as the one I had built and Marie had checked – although the size ratio was different – and after taking a breath, I began to work on the magic.

The sensation of having the magic power of my whole body compressed in my tanden and circulating through my blood vessels. The magic power that was just there is being kneaded hotter and hotter.

I start to knead it, even though it is non-attribute.

I put the high-density magic power into the magic circle, which is non-attribute, but is kneaded into the magic circle. The white light, which is a little different from that of Iris, covers the magic circle with a white light that is almost infinitely transparent.

“The magic power is amazing ……!”

The magic power is so dense that it even influences the people watching around it, giving the illusion that the space is warped.

“!”

This is pretty tough for sure. I can understand why Lily and Iris were having a hard time. It is as if the magic power is being drained to the limit of one’s own magical power. And since I needed to work on kneading the magic for the entire time, I could understand how tough it was.

It could be seconds, dozens of seconds, or even minutes. After enduring for a while, the glow of the magic circle reached its peak. All at once the intensity of the light increased, and I could no longer keep my eyes open.

“Geez, it’s blinding!:

“My eyes are glazed. ……”

“Hal, you’d better take responsible !”

A sort of three-way condemnation …… is sent. I mean, it’s not my fault that last sparkle!

As it happens, I, too, have had my eyes harmed by the glow of the magic, so my eyes will be flickering and my sight will not return for a while. I mean, if the divine beast summoned was a strong one, it would be quite dangerous, right?　I don’t hear any sound for some time…….

“………… Oh, my eyesight’s back.”

After a few dozen seconds or so, the eyesight’s finally returned. By that time, the light of the magic circle has already disappeared , and the silhouette gradually becomes clearer and clearer as my eyesight recovers.

The divine beast of mine that came in response to my summons is ………….

“…………, an egg?”

“An egg.”

“An egg.

“An egg.”

While I was unable to take any action because my eyesight had not returned, I found out why I had not heard any sound. To my surprise, my summoned divine beast had not yet been born.

“What should I do with it?”

I asked Marie while holding and warming the Divine Beast’s egg like a parent bird warming an egg. This egg is quite large. It is 30 centimeters high and about 20 centimeters across. It is quite heavy when I hold it like this. Marie looked at it and said with a puzzled look on her face,

“Hmmm………. I’ve never heard of a Divine Beast egg. …… Usually, divine beasts are summoned in their BORN form. There is no record of a divine beast being summoned in the form of an egg in all time.”

“Oh, really?”

“Hal, you …… egg …… pfft!”

“Halt, you look like a mother bird.”

Lily and Iris are laughing at me holding warming the egg. The two of them are laughing as if they are the only one were able to summon beast in their born form,……. I’m going to have to punish you for this later.

“But, even divine beasts are a subspecies of animals. I don’t think there is that much difference in their ecology. In fact, Peter, although he is small for his size, he drinks water and eats food.”

“I’m not sure what to expect. I thought that since it’ s a kind of a hybrid between a spirit and a child, all it needed was magical power.”

“No, that’s not true. Some spirits also eat food. But most of them do not do so out of necessity, but rather for pleasure.”

“Well, in short, I guess you can raise it as you would raise animals.”

“However, it is a divine beast, and I don’t think it is enough to simply rise it up.

“That’s right.”

In the case of ordinary animals, almost all of their bodies are made up of ordinary substances, but not in the case of divine beasts.

“I can’t wait to see what kind of divine beasts will be born from the egg that have been summoned by Eberhard’s enormous magical power.”

I see. The more magic power I pour into it, the more likely it is to become stronger.

I”‘m sure you can use magic to rise it up, right?

“I’ll have to do that, otherwise I won’t be able to rise it . It can’t be helped.”

I imagined a quail egg hatching machine.

“Eberhard. From now on, you must feed the egg with magic power every morning and evening. But for the time being, the magic power is probably low, so we can inject the magic power later.”

“Yes, all right.”

Thus began my life of rising the egg not …… holding them. I’ll give it magic power, I’m not neglecting you, I told myself. ..
