After collecting the glass, Sytry nods in satisfaction as she looks at the pile of glass in the workshop.

It took a while to break the glass, but all I had to do was ask Mimic-kun to retrieve it. The pile of shattered glass sparkles in the sunlight, looking like some unusual jewels.

Lucia, who is checking the material in front of her with her arms crossed, lets out a small sigh. Compared to the satisfied Sytry and Kilkill-kun, Lucia's excitement is low. Lucia *tonton* taps the ground with her staff and asks Sytry.

So what should I do from now on? You said I would be the one to do the manufacturing (Lucia)

I have the blueprintThe formula to make the device. Alchemy is a technique for everyone So by changing a few parameters, we can freely create our own device. (Sytry)

Freely create such a dangerous deviI-I see (Lucia)

Lucia gives a drawn-back look on her face, not one she would give to her best friend. If I had the brain to understand a little more about the gravity of the situation, I might have made a similar expression.

The truths of this world, such as Magic and Alchemy, are too difficult. And there are too many dangerous things around me.

Sytry slowly takes out a pen, licks her lips once, and begins to draw a complicated and bizarre picture on the ground.

It is a mysterious geometric pattern. A large circle is at the center and countless never seen before figures are drawn inside. She is drawing with steady hands. Lucia's *pikuri* twitches her eyebrows while I open my eyes in wonder at my childhood friend who starts acting in a way that makes no sense to me.

This is A Magic circle? Something a Magi can create Dont tell me (Lucia)

"We devised a Magic formula to process the device with Magic based on the materials. Although the books have already been disposed of, the formula is already in my head (Sytry)

When performing large-scale Magic, complex preparations are often required. When attempting to purify Marin's Wails, the "Light Spirit (Korei)" Church also used Magic circles to create a powerful barrier, but to put it simply, a Magic circle seems to be something like a blueprint for Magic.

I am not very knowledgeable about this kind of thing, but I have heard that it is created to ensure that everyone can perform complex Magic.

The Magic circle drawn by SytryThe intricate pattern drawn on it is completely incomprehensible. Some of them appear to be letters, but I can't understand a single one of them. It is amazing that a Magi can create Magic based on a diagram like this.

When I am *un, un* nodding my head, Sytry suddenly cracks a smile and says.

!! Do you understand, Cry-san!? The groundbreaking Magic formula built into this Magic circle! (Sytry)

Un, un, that's right. It is very groundbreaking. (Cry) free(w)ebnov(e)l

I don't really get it, but Sytry has never looked confident like this if it is not groundbreaking. When I tentatively agree with a smile on my face, Lucia speaks up in a timid manner.

Syt? This Magic Circle requires five people to activate, right? Because, look This technique has five different Magic at its base (Lucia)

Yes! That's right! It's a magic circle activated by five Magi! That is the groundbreaking part, but it is quite difficult to get five Magi who are in sync with each other (Sytry)

Multiple Magi work together to activate a single high-level technique. It is one of the Magi's secret techniques called ritual magic. I see, it appears that an ordinary technique is not enough to achieve a groundbreaking effect.

What kind of technique is it? Come to think of it, it has probably been a long time since I have seen Lucia's Magic in detail outside of the battlefield. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Then let's get right to it and show it to me. (Cry)

Please! Lucia-chan! (Sytry)

Lucia's body *bikuri* trembles at Sytry and my request and says.

!?? U-Uhm Were you listening to me? I said that we needed five people to activate this Magic Circle, you know? (Lucia)

Eh? But Lucia has more than five people's Magic power, right? (Cry)

Actually, Lucia is a genius when it comes to Magic. In addition to receiving invitations from Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) and Hidden Curse (Ma Tsue), there has been no shortage of scouts from Magic Academies.

She has an overwhelming amount of Magic power and a delicate Magic Formula construction. Not only did he greedily absorb various knowledge and master all kinds of Magic, she also developed many new techniques herself. The word prodigy is perfect for her.

Hearing what I say, Lucia furrows her forehead and says with a terrific expression.

"I think you understand, but the amount of Magic doesn't matter. To put it in another way, using two different techniques at the same time is like writing different letters with your left and right hands at the same time (Lucia)

But you are ambidextrous. (Cry)

Lucia has always been a very dexterous child.

The only clumsy thing about her is her character, which tends to hold back in some way due to her upbringing in the Andrich family when she is a distant relative.

Eeeh? I am indeed ambidextrous, Nii-san! I might be able to manage up to two hands, but unfortunately, I dont have five hands!! (Lucia)

If you say it like that, it is true. Uuuun (Cry)

It is reasonable. I also don't remember having an Imouto with five hands.

Lucia is probably an outstanding Magi as she can manage with two. To begin with, Serene is here as well as the members of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai). For some reason, Sytry seems to want Lucia to do it, but there is no need to leave everything to Lucia alone.

In fact, it is even possible that Lucia doesn't need to be in charge. It would probably be easier to coordinate if only the Members of Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) are doing it.

As I am thinking about this with a frown and a badass expression on my face, Lucia screams as if she can't bear it anymore.

Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, moooh! I get it! I just have to do it, right! (Lucia)

Eh? You sure? (Cry)

I will figure something out. I am used to you making me do reckless things, Nii-san. (Lucia)

Even though you dont need to do anything reckless Maybe it is her desire to improve?

Lucia concentrates in an instant, looks down at the technique with a difficult expression, and starts mumbling to herself. When Lucua is like this, she wont move for a while.

For some reason, Sytry says with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Once she can do a five times activations of Magic, Lucia-chan will finally start to leave the human realm. (Sytry)

Please don't make someone else's Imouto leave the human realm. Or rather, if you can activate five Magic spells at the same time, you are leaving the human realm, huh

If I think about it calmly, it might not be me but Sytry who is making Lucia do reckless things? Since they are good friends, they are also good at teasing each other, and it is common to see Lucia being swayed by Sytry's newly developed items.

There, Serene, who has been silently listening to the conversation until now, clears her throat and checks with Sytry.

Sytry Smart. Is there anything I can do to help? Even like this, I am quite confident in my Magic. (Serene)

No Fire Magic is also used to manufacture the device, and since this is Lucia-chan's trial in the first placeRight, in the meantime, can you please give me information on the nearby geographical area that you have investigated in the past? (Sytry)

I-I see I understand. (Serene)

Serene looks hurt when Sytry asks her to just give her information. Apparently, it bothers her that she is the only one who doesn't have a job while everyone else has something to do. It doesn't bother me at all, but what a serious girl.

Thanks for reading! Cry pushing Lucia to leave the human realm! Who will be the next!?
