Chapter 45: Polaroid, and the Fairy Master

Upon reaching the noise at the hall entrance, there were the Beast King-heika and Olga-san as well as Yumina and the other girls.

Olga-san is wrapped in a gorgeous party dress from the Kingdom of Belfast, Yumina and the others are wearing a native Indian Sarii like dresses. Elsies is red, Lindseys is blue, Yaes is Purple and Yuminas is pink, and although each is a different color, they all match nicely. Kohaku is following along beside them.

Oo, Touya-dono. Dont they look just splendidly? It wouldnt be strange to say they were Misumido n.o.bles, you know?

Yes, I see......

The Beast King-heika grinds broadly while looking at me. I wonder what it is, not being used to this makes me embarra.s.sed.

And toward Olga-san, clad in a dress, Lyon-sans eyes were stolen. Arara? Olga-sans hair has several hair ornaments that were s.h.i.+ning. Hohou, might this be a sign of hope?

It suits you, Touya-san. Its fantastic

Un, perfect isnt it?

...it has its own charm

It is cool, Touya-dono

Everyone looks at me and praises me. Youre making me blush.

Everyone looks wonderful as well. Ah, can I take a picture?

I took out the smartphone and opened the camera app. I took a stance and pushed the shutter b.u.t.ton and it flashed.

Although it was nothing special for us, everyone was surprised by the flash, the Misumido soldiers, who had been leaning against the wall, placed their hands on their swords. c.r.a.p, the flash was bad wasnt it?

What was that just now?

The Beast King-heika looked at the smartphone in my hand. I should probably give an excuse.

Excuse me, this is my no-attribute magic. It records and preserves images of the scene.

? I dont really understand......

I showed the Beast King-heika the image I just filmed. There the 4 girls were shown.

Hou! Instant drawing magic? Ive heard there is a magician that lives in the Lifuresu Empire. Can you take it out?

Hee, the Empire has someone that can use the same kind of magic? Apparently I wont have to bother explaining a photograph.

I can. If there is some paper to transcribe it to

The Beast King-heika had some paper brought forward, and while looking at the image I activatedDrawingand transcribed it. Then, the 4 girls appeared on the paper instantly. It looked like an old black-and-white photo.

Oo! Thats amazing! Touya-dono, can you draw me as well?

Yes I can

If the person themselves is here, its possible to useDrawingwithout the camera.

The photo of the Beast King-heika striking a pose? He was utterly thrilled. But, it started a commotion. Shortly thereafter, Alba-san wanted his familys photo and then I was a.s.sailed by me too one after the other and ended up stuck making photos.

Because each piece took about 10 seconds that wasnt the problem, but there were many subjects that had trouble deciding this or that pose and it ended up taking a long time. I became a living Polaroid camera. Honestly it was exhausting.

Throwing himself into the confusion, Lyon-san asked if he could get a 2-shot with Olga-san. Of course I transcribed it. But it was more like a Print Club booth rather than a Polaroid.

After completing all the requests, I went out of the hall to rest. I sank down onto a sofa that had been setup. Compared to the hall its calm and quiet.

While staring off into s.p.a.ce up the corridor, something strange crossed the corridor further on ahead.

Eh?

A strange voice unintentionally slips out.

From far down the hall came the unsteady footsteps of that walking thing. In short its a bear. Well, there are demi-human bears because this is the sub-human country. I even saw some in the hall just now. However this was a stuffed bear that was walking there.

Its about 50cm tall? It looked like a stuffed teddy bear in every regard.... But why is a stuffed animal walking unsteadily down the hall?...... I wonder if Im just tired.

And, the walking bear stops directly in front of me and looks my way, c.r.a.p, our eyes met.

Ji

Ji-

Ji-

Ji-

Something like this happened before, this situation. N?

It waved its hands and beckoned me....... Follow me is it saying? What should I do......?

I decided to follow it after all. If it looks dangerous Ill use Acceland run away with everything Ive got.

I follow the unsteady teddy until we come to a room down the hall. The bear cant reach the k.n.o.b. While jumping the teddy dexterously turns the k.n.o.b and opens the door. Again it beckons me while going inside. Go inside huh?

The moonlight streamed through a window into the poorly lit room. It was a wide room with furniture in an orderly arrangement.

......Ara? What a strange guest youve brought with you, Pola

I heard an unexpected voice and looked around in surprise. Then, in front of the window, there was a girl sitting on a red sofa, alone.

She looks about Yumina and Almas age? She has twin tails and golden eyes with white hair. She was wearing black shoes and a frilly black dress and she had nothing but black Goth Loli clothes from head to toe. Normally I would be paying attention to that, however I was drawn to the things on her back.

They glittered in the moonlight, a thin, translucent feather. Not a birds wing nor a b.u.t.terflys, they extended from the back. Could she be from the fairy family?

[image= http://8428.mitemin.net/userpageimage/viewimagebig/icode/i75025/]

And? Who are you?

Ah, I am Touya. Mochidzuki Touya. My given name is Touya

Are you from Is.h.i.+en?

Enough with that question already. Though I say that, because it looks like that I couldnt say anything back.

I see, you came to todays party, that is to say, the dragon killing?

Dragon killing you say...... Well yeah. You are?

Ara, Im sorry. Excuse the late introduction. I am the Chief of the fairy family, Rin. This is Pola

The Chief of the fairy family!? This girl is!? She looks at me, too surprised to even speak, and laughs softly.

Even though I look like this Ive lived a long time you know? The Fairy family is long lived after all.

Youre older!? I mean about how old?......

For a moment, I worried about whether it was impolite to as a woman her age but Rin didnt seem to worry about it and gave it some thought.

I wonder how old...? Im pretty sure its over 600.

600!?

Its a pain so Ill go with 612

Well, Ill go with you say.... The girl in front of me is 600 years over or...... no never mind, its a different world. If its that age then its understandable that she would be the Chief of the Fairy family.

Do fairys grow slowly?

......No. When fairies reach a certain age they stop growing. Just like a normal human they stop growing somewhere between the late teens and early twentys but, in my case, I stopped growing early

She puckered her lips in dissatisfaction and muttered. Apparently she is displeased with her body. She doesnt really look much different than Yumina.

To comfort Rin, Pola pats her head.

By the way, about Pola...... Is it perhaps a summoned beast?

No. It is a 100% authentic teddy bear. Its just that with my no-attribute magic Programthat it is able to move

Program?

Program, as in a computer? Could it be that this bear, is a robot?

The no-attribute magicProgramis a magic that can embed a set of instructions to inorganic objects. For example......

Tatata, and she drew a chair that had been left in the room up in front of me. Rin holds out her hand, magic was being concentrated and a magic circle appeared underneath the chair.

Program begin

/ Movement : move forward 2 meters

/ Activation : When someone sits down

/ Program End

The magic circle disappeared under the chair. Then Rin sat in the chair and then the teddy slowly walked forward and stopped after about 2 meters.

I forgot to set the speed. Well, by doing this you can have built-in magic

I see. Certainly, you cant say its not aProgram. You cant input data however, you can automate an object? Couldnt this be extremely useful!?

If you were to order Pola toFlywould you be able to embed the instruction?

That wouldnt be possible. It doesnt have that kind of power. Program is only able to embed simple commands. But, if it was the model of a bird, it could be made to fly

I see, I see. So there is a restriction. Even still its useful, this magic.

Ill try it out a bit

Eh?

Magic is concentrated on the chair. A magic formation appears on the floor Program preparation is complete.

Program Begin

/ Movement: 5 meters, at the speed when someone walks, backwards

/ Activation: When someone sits down

/ Program End

After the magic circle disappeared, I sit to experiment. Then, it retreats about 5 meters a little quickly. Yes, I can use this.

You...... what did you just do?

Rins eyes crackle and looked at me.

What do you mean what...Program?

What is that in the form of a question...? I mean you can useProgramas well?

Um, Ah- looks like it

Rin casts a dubious glance at me.

Ji

Ji

Ji

Ji

......It was the same thing that happened with Pola. Is it the like pet like owner thing?... or is it something else?

After a moment, she exhales and crosses her arms.

I have many questions for you, but Ill stop for now...... Theres a human that Pola is interested in, brought here and made a program, it sure is interesting the thing that came. Not since Charlotte has something like this been found]

Charlotte?

I react to the familiar name. Could it really be that Charlotte-san?

My sole apprentice. If I remember correctly she serves the Kingdom of Belfast as court magician

Its that Charlotte-san after all. Wait...that would mean.......

Ah! The demon master with the training from h.e.l.l who forced magic to be used until she collapsed, forcibly recovered her magic, and then forced her to use magic until she collapsed again!?

A#!? (TLN:# is sign sometimes seen in manga/anime to indicate anger or irritation)

Scary scary. Stop staring at me so much. I didnt say that. Im sorry. Im really sorry.

......Well, its fine. Ill beat Charlotte someday. Touya, youre magic talent is wonderful. What attributes can you use besides no-attribute?

All of them

.........I wont be surprised any longer

For a while Rin thought while sighing and slowly turned her golden eyes towards me, then opened her palms and slapped them together.

Ive decided. You, become my disciple

Ha?
