“…It’s practically the same as the magic stone that I destroyed . But then again, I heard that people brought it over, so it has to be weaker than the one that destroyed a kingdom . ”
“A cursed magic stone… It must be different if you were able to destroy it . But I will report it as a single possibility . As for your role…how about you monitor them while also fighting?”
“Yeah . In spite of appearances, the slimes can fight pretty well . ”
If I used Magic Transfer, they could be like cannons .
And I was able to use the same magic on two slimes at once, which raised the firepower .
Well, that also used more MP, so it wasn’t without limitations .
“Your slimes can fight…? That is hard to believe, but it’s you that we’re talking about . So I’ll believe it . Of course, you will be rewarded, so you should accept the request . ”
“Okay . …Is that fine?”
I said as I submitted a monster monitoring request and a monster hunting request .
The monitoring one paid better… But the hunting one changed depending on how many you killed, so it could end up paying more .
“Aye . Good luck . ”
And so I accepted the quests from the Manager and left the guild .
And then I went to the forest in order to station my slimes near the pack of monsters .
‘Alright then . I’m counting on you guys . ’
When I was near the forest, I put the slimes on the Proud Wolf’s back .
As the slimes were going to be stationed so as to make a circle around the monsters, I would use the Proud Wolf to carry them .
And so it wouldn’t get too heavy, I would stay behind .
‘Okay!’
‘We’ll get them!’
‘Well, it will be Yuji’s magic that gets them . ’
‘Uhh… Are you sure that I should be doing this?’
The slimes were enthusiastic, but the Proud Wolf seemed worried .
He had lost his confidence ever since I tamed him . I was sure that he wasn’t actually a weak monster…
Besides, he had my help as well .
‘It’ll be fine . I’ll cast strengthening magic on you and can also use Magic Transfer . So I will transfer attack magic if you guys are ambushed . ’
I said . Then I cast ‘Strength Enhance,’ ‘Mobility Enhance’ and ‘ Defense Enhance’ on the Proud Wolf .
‘This magic…it’s making me stronger! I should be safe if you’ll send me magic!’
The Proud Wolf seemed to regain some of his confidence now, and he bounded off happily into the forest .
…Now, I had to prepare for the fight as well .
I didn’t know if the monsters would come to this town, but since I was monitoring them, I wanted to prevent them from attacking other towns if I could .
Still, while the magic I could use was strong, it covered such a wide area that it would destroy everything around it as well .
If I did some testing, I might find the perfect spell to use–but there was actually a faster way to acquire magic that you wanted .
You create it .
“…Magic Creation . ”
I said, activating the magic I had found during the guild test .
I hadn’t been able to use it then due to a lack of time–but I now had time to think .
“Still, it’s quite complicated…”
The window that appeared now was like a more crowded version of my status screen .
There was an empty window in the center, and around it were words like ‘Magic Flow a.n.a.lysis,’ ‘Required Magic,’ ‘Save Configuration,’ ‘Magic Intake’ and many others .
…Thanks to the magic books, I knew the meaning of most of them .
And so I tried a.n.a.lyzing magic that I already had .
“Magic Intake–Fireball . ”
I said . It started to a.n.a.lyze what I thought was the simplest of my magic . And then the previously empty window was filled with a few dozen lines of words .
This was apparently the composition of the Fireball .
Things like ‘MP Conversion(BG2A, GGT2)’ or ‘MP Retention (0 . 01, 12, 5, 10)’ were written there . I didn’t understand what it meant—but it was reminiscent of a computer program .
If it was similar to a program, there was one way to quickly change the properties of something without having a good understanding of it .
Yes–cut and paste .
