I stopped going to the library.
However, Fitts-senpai occasionally joins in on the experiments.
After seeing him, I came to understand that the operation I'm doing is rigorous.
After all, when he goes through only about 20 scrolls his magic power is exhausted.
"Rudeus-kun, this, just one of these consumes about the same amount of magic power as an Advanced spell."
Were Fitts-senpai's remarks on it.
Fitts-senpai is a chantless magic user, but it seems his aggregate amount of magic power isn't all that high.
No, it seems to be considerably large if you compare it to the average person's level, but after all I really am an abnormality.
I'd really like someone to give me some kind of numerical value.
However, if Fitts-senpai who is one with proven real ability does it, it's this much.
I don't know what kind of magic circles Nanahoshi is drawing, but I guess that means that summoning magic uses up that idiotic of an amount of magic power.
Unlike attack magic, it doesn't seem to be something that can be used a number of times in battle, so it's not strange for it to be few times.
However, even the scrolls that ends up clearly being failures cause Fitts-senpai's magic power to be exhausted.
No, precisely because we're trying to summon from another world should be why it consumes that much magic power.
"Sorry, since I have the matters as a guard, I can't help anymore with this... if I don't leave magic power remaining for the time something happens..."
"It can't be helped I guess."
Fitts-senpai seems gloomy recently.
It seems his feelings are a bit hurt.
In regards to magic, I'm sure he had a bit of pride in it.
Everyone has some pride.
"..."
Nanahoshi didn't talk down to Fitts-senpai.
It seems Fitts-senpai isn't very good with Nanahoshi as well.
"I'm... useless aren't I."
Fitts-senpai said it in a really lonely way, but I shook my head.
"There's no way that's the case."
"I wonder?"
"Yeah, just having Fitts-senpai here is reassuring."
During this past year, I've depended on Fitts-senpai a considerable amount.
After this much time, there's no way I would want to say, "you're useless, so goodbye."
If Fitts-senpai feels it's impossible no matter what, then I won't try to restrain him, but if he withdraws because he's lacking in strength, then I want to say "wait."
"It's fine if it's just when you have time, please come again. Aren't we friends that have researched it together up until now. Let's continue to close in on the truth together."
"...I see, thank you."
Fitts-senpai said that and laughed bashfully.
I'm really weak to this smile.
I think Fitts-senpai is around 13 years old right now, but after a few more years pass I wonder if he'll become a handsome man that makes women cry.
No well, how do I put it.
Frankly, recently I've only been able to see Fitts-senpai as a woman though.
I wonder if my eyes are going strange.
Could it be that I've already awoken to that path?
