Glory to Earth Magic Chapter 5

Glory for the Earth Magic! , By : Torimaru Karasuma / 已己巳己

“Mother, do you have clay?”

I’ve been training my earth magic for a few days, one of those days I asked mother something during a meal.

“Clay? Why?”

“I was wondering if I made clay into various things, it would help my imagination …..”

I answer my mother’s question as so.

That’s only a part of it, but my real intention is to resume my hobby.

I’d crushed stone called stone powder clay into uniform grains of powder, then mix the powder in with chemicals such as adhesives and the clay would mainly formed.

Stone powder clay was the one I wanted, but I did know whether or not it existed in this world, even the worst, normal clay would be fine because this is just a hobby, so I ask mother about it.

“It isn’t sold here ….. It might be in an arts shop at the Imperial City, do you want it?”

“Yes. I want to be better at earth magic even if my imagination is only trained a little bit.”

By the way, there also had been a study of what honorific to say which had begun recently.
It became a habit to speak like a good child-chan with honorifics because of the recent studies of noble things like courtesy and etiquette I had.

Mother opens her mouth after listening to my words.

“Well then, would you like to go to the Imperial City to buy it tomorrow. I also want to see the Imperial City after a long time”

“Really!?”

I shouted involuntarily due to surprise.

My father Mercurio severely told me that the Imperial City was a wonderful place, I was excited be going there next year.

It’s a difficult thing to not look forward to because different races is one of the thrills of fantasies.
After I finished eating dinner, I went to bed earlier looking forward to going to the Imperial City tomorrow.

“Haa ……”

The next day, mother and I were brought to the Imperial City through the transfer tool and I was overwhelmed by the scenery.

There was an ogre person who was growing a horn on his head, a Minotaur person with the head of a bull. And cat ears! Real cat ears were here.

Although I was aware that this was a fantasy when there was magic, again, when you see all these races you’ll realize that this is a different world than Earth.

“Hey Alba, I know you’re in high spirits but it’s not rare to get lost.”

Mother who settled the procedure with the transfer equipment comes over with the guards.

However, they are only two skillful guards from the mansion because it’s to conspicuous to take too much.
In the story I heard from my mother they are quite strong considering their magic.

After that, I went to the store that handled art supplies with 4 people, mother, the two guards, and me.

When I opened the door and entered the shop, there were many art supplies I had seen on Earth crowded into this place.
In the store there were some other customers too, a good stout person was listening to the description of an item from the clerk, the man gave off the feeling of a painter while looking at the product.

“May I help you? What can we do for you today?”

As I was looking around the store, a young good-looking man wearing round glasses speaks towards us.

“I want clay for this child, but are you dealing with it here?”

“There is clay here of course.”

While we were being guided, I saw several types of clay and putty, and also tools like a chisel and some others.

The clay was in bags and there were several sizes.

When I looked at a certain number of clay, I noticed one that was familiar to me.
It looked white, but was different from ordinary clay.

“This clay is made by crushing a stone and mixing it evenly with a special fruit that has adhesive effects. It is a clay that comes in handy for sculptors.”

No way I thought, but after hearing the description from the clerk, I was confident.

I never thought it would be in this world. Well, fine materials and production process will differ but this is the closest thing as possible to stone powder clay.

By the way, the unit currency of world that I learned from my experiences is that you can think 1 yen = 1 lira.

So to say, it’s not likely that there are gold coins jingling like in fantasy.

“You want it?”

While I was groaning at the price, mother comes and asks me.

“Yes …… but it’s slightly high?”

I said that in as little question because I had no confidence in market.

“You are so modest, it shouldn’t feel expensive child? This is cheap compared to your improvement in magic. Do not hesitate if you need something else.”

⌊Don⌉, mother hits her chest and a smile floats on her face saying speak out.

I did not check the prices because I was afraid, but I knew it would be nothing to our house because mother gets paid commonly. As expected of nobility.

Later, we went to an expensive looking restaurant to have lunch and I kept mother company while shopping when looking around the Imperial City.

I did not look inside because only related parties had permission to, also, I wanted to save it for next year’s fun.

After we finished the tour of the magic school, we decided to go back home because the sun had begun to set.
When father had come home then we went to the Imperial City, he had wined like a child and wanted to go together, but that’s a story for another time.
