Nigotta Hitomi no Lilianne Chapter 104 part1

We are guided through the entrance to the workshop where nothing but illumination magic tools are visible.

The windows are opened as a pleasant wind is stroking my cheeks.

After walking for a while in Ena’s embrace, the man――Agate, who became our guide in the stead of Masqueriol opens a double door.

「T, this is the manufacturing room used for mass production of magic tools. T, today, we will show you how magic tools are made in here」

Agate somehow manages to continue his explanation while making actions of wiping off his sweat many times over.
But, rather than the talk of the pitiable Agate, my eyes were nailed on the many magic tools the moment the door was opened.

Magic fragments can be processed in various shapes with special processing methods.

Even my Magic Eyes which are able to see magical power see the shapes of great variety all around.

What I can see are only people who possess magical power and magic tools. I was somewhat able to see the weapons the Knights were handling during the exploration once, but it’s definitely not something I see every day.

It’s impossible for me who can see only magical power in my everyday life not to be excited.

「Fufu…… it’s my first time seeing Lily-chan be this excited」

「Yeah, Lily was looking forward to this as well after all」

「Ena, quickly show Lily how magic tools are made!」

「Ena, quickly!」

「Yes, yes, you don’t have to dump it on Lily just because you guys can’t also endure anymore」

「「That’s not true!」」

「Ara, ara, you are on the same wavelenght」

Ellie is stealthily elbowing Theo’s side under the supervision of Obaasama’s gentle smile.

As I thought, it seems that Ellie feigns friendliness in front of anyone but family.
But, it appears she’s the type that takes action as long as she isn’t discovered. As expected of her.

「T, then, Bocchama, Ojousamas, let’s show you long-awaited magic tool production!」

Because he entered the field of his expertise, Agate made up his mind, and his words overflowed with confidence.

「However before that, do you know what is most needed for making magic tools, Theodore Bocchama?」

「Is it…… magic fragment?」

「That’s correct. However, it’s not just that. Magic tool container is just as necessary as the magic fragment. It does not matter what kind of substance the container is made of. However, the quality and effectiveness of magic fragments can be enhanced depending on what they have been sealed into」

「Like the Asherah tree, right?」

「It’s just as you said. The Asherah tree Bocchama is nurturing is the most extreme case. As the plan is to show you the basics of the magic tool production, I think of showing you the difference between a state of a simple processing method and unprocessed state」

「Is there such a difference?」

「Yes, it makes such difference that it can be said that they are already different things. Seeing is believing, is what I would like to say, so let’s show you at once. First, I will seal sorcery in an unprocessed magic fragment. This time, I will be making the simplest illumination magic tool」

Agate who changed his class for Guide to Moderator finished his explanation and picked materials which were prepared on a nearby desk in his hands.

「This is a magic fragment. This little magic fragment is more than enough for this time, so I will be using it」

The magic fragment in Agate’s hand is about the size of the magic fragment Theo has gifted me.
Because he’s using unprocessed one first, there are no other special features.

「And, this is another necessary thing for sealing――a sealing crystal. Every magic tool craftsmen possess them, however today, I won’t be using the 1st-grade sealing crystal which the Christophe House’s usually supplies, but I will be using a 4th-grade sealing crystal which is used in regular workshops」

「Why are you not going to use the 1st-grade one?」

Ellie tilts her head to the side and asks the question I also had.
Since they are graded, there will be a difference in the performance, right? Then, even though this is just a tour, this is the Christophe House after all, wouldn’t using a 1st-grade one be better?

「When using the 1st-grade sealing crystal, the quality of the sorcery would be too high. Because the quality is too much for such small magic fragment, the process would fail instead. By using sealing crystals of lower grade, you can control the quality of magic tools by using matching magic fragments」

「I see, I understand」
