“Can you give me a sec?”
“What is it?”
“Ryouma-kun, right? That magic, exactly how are you doing that? I may be an Earth Magician, but my main occupation is still that of a swordsman and so I may not know all the details about Earth Magic but… I’ve definitely never seen a magic that can dispose of soil and rock at the same time. Can you teach me that?”
“This is, Create Block… A person who can use Break Rock and Rock could probably use this as well… Break Rock changes rock to soil and for Rock, from soil to rock, right?”
“That’s right.”
“So, from rock to soil, and from soil to rock, take those two processes and turn it into one, and with that image please use your magic… if you do this, the rocks in the area affected by your magic will turn to soil… and the soil, remaining as a soil, will along with everything else become a rock… It should be decided before hand how big the rock that will be formed will be… In my case I have my slimes carry it away, so I chose this size.”
The man gave a nod to show he understood. Then, he went to a nearby rock and tried it out, after which, while the sizes were a bit off, he was able to splendidly turn the soil and rock into a size that could be moved.
“Ha! It really works! Although I need to get used to it before I can manage the size of the rock and the amount made properly, the magic consumption seems to be lower than doing things separately. Thanks, Ryouma-kun.”
“No, I’m happy… I could be of help.”
Since, I was asked whether it would be ok if Create Block was taught to the others as well and responded with a yes, the man rushed up to the other guys working and taught them the magic as well.
The results of that… today, the number of people who can use the magic perfectly is one, and the people who can use it to some extent are 3. Overall, the speed of the entire operation had gone up. Incidentally, the one man who could use the magic perfectly was the man who came to talk with me, Gaultier-san.
When the operation ended for the day, I went back to the tent and was hugged by the Madam.
“Fuga!”
“Welcome home! You did a good job! Ryouma-kun!”
“P–please let… me go…”
Tight! It’s tight! So please…
“Madam! A rather dangerous part is being strangled! Please let go!”
“Eh! Ah!”
“Geho! Ha…”
“I’m sorry! Are you ok!?”
“Ye–yes, I’m alright… ah, umm…”
What was it again? The name of this maid that stopped madam. If I’m correct…
“Lilian…san?”
“Ye, yes!”
“Thank you very much. You saved me…”
“What’s important is your safe. By the way, the meal has already been prepared, will you being having your meal, now?”
“Yes, I’ll have it now”
When I said that. She replied, “Then please come over here” and brought us over to the table in the room inside.
“Ryoma-kun, looks like you worked hard today, huh? Thanks for your hard work.”
“Can you eat? It’s not good to push yourself, you know?”
“My body is fine.”
“Ho… it seems you’ve used quite a bit of magic, though.”
“It was amazing, you know? That magic, Create Block, was it?”
“Yes”
“Because of that magic of Ryouma’s and his slimes, the efficiency rose up. And even more, he taught the same magic to the guards that use Earth Magic and now it looks like the operation to remove the rocks and sands will finish much earlier than expected.”
“That’s great”
Around that time, the food was brought over and we all began to eat. Then, Elialia said this,
“Ryouma-san, how much magic power does Ryouma-san have?”
“Eh?”
