How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 260

290. Spirit Magic (3)

“Is that all there is to the transfer?”

“Simple, isn’t it?”

“Explain, please!”

I have some idea, but I won’t be satisfied unless I hear it directly.

It must be an unavoidable habit.

“Spirits can directly interfere with each other.”

“Hmm, so?”

“I simply moved the organs necessary for spirit magic to that child intact.”

“Ah….”

I roughly grasp the nuance.

In other words, he used his authority as a higher spirit to interfere with Undine’s essence as a spirit.

To put it in technical terms, hacking.

The higher the authority, the easier it is to interfere with lower spirits.

So, it’s like he gave Undine an upgrade patch.

“It would be easy to overwrite Undine’s abilities with the abilities you have.”

“…It’s not that simple.”

“Well, it’s an analogy.”

Anyway, it’s a sensation that’s hard to imagine from a human’s perspective.

“Conversely, from a spirit’s perspective, humans are strange because they don’t communicate with each other.”

Still, just in case, I opened the list of abilities I had learned and scanned through them.

Maybe it’s there.

It’s there! It’s there! You little rascal!

Undine learned Spirit Magic, but it seems it’s classified and marked as an item for me, the contractor.

I’m glad I could recognize it.

“Didn’t you believe me?”

“I believed you.”

“You have eyes that say you didn’t believe me.”

Tch, good intuition.

“Anyway, does this mean I can use magic right away?”

“…Well?”

I lost strength for a moment at that irresponsible answer.

“It’s just the beginning. It only copied the organs necessary for the magic to manifest. Manifesting it now depends on that child’s efforts.”

“Is that so?”

If Spirit Magic is a secret art created with the concept of spirits using magic.

The spirit who has to use it must naturally learn magic.

“Just for reference… how did the spirit who developed this learn it?”

“I learned it by referring to what human magicians were doing at the time.”

“Is that possible?”

“Surprisingly, it worked?”

He says it like it’s nothing, but Cruise, who had been listening quietly until now, rubs her forehead and mutters, “It can’t be that easy…”

It means it’s not easy.

“…He says that, but in reality, the spirit’s perception is fundamentally different from that of humans.”

In short, the processing power is different.

“Aileen’s spirit’s thinking ability is probably not much different from Aileen’s…”

“Ah~ Well, wait a minute, Cruise? Is that a compliment or an insult?”

“Anyway, even if it’s not impossible to learn, it will take quite a while to acquire it.”

“No, which one is it?”

This lady avoided the most important answer.

Does that mean Undine’s intellectual ability is on par with mine? Am I at Undine’s level?

I’ll be hurt depending on which one it is.

Well, putting aside unnecessary problems, how long will it take to teach Undine magic one by one from now on?

First of all, it would be best to ask the person in question.

“Undine.”

“Why?”

“How long do you think it will take to learn magic?”

“Huh? I don’t know. What is magic in the first place~”

Undine smiles brightly and peacefully.

Have you forgotten the ability you just learned?

“Hey, Spirit King! Was it really transferred? Huh?”

The Spirit King does not speak.

“It’s okay. It’ll work out somehow. There’s always a time for that.”

Where did the dignity as a king go?

“Just for reference, how long did it take the spirit master who learned spirit magic at the time?”

“30 years in human years.”

“…Damn it.”

In that case, I’ll be teaching Undine magic even after the original story ends.

“I need a shortcut….”

“Aileen, I think sometimes working hard is the way to go.”

Cruise’s right words point out that I’m looking for a shortcut right away, as if she’s dumbfounded.

That’s right, but I don’t have much time, so what can I do?

“Aside from Aileen’s methods, waiting 30 years to see spirit magic is definitely a long time.”

However, it didn’t seem like Cruise was just trying to say the right thing.

She lets out a light sigh for no reason and looks around, contemplating something.

“…Maybe.”

“Do you have a shortcut?”

“It’s far from the method you expect, Aileen, but there might be a way to make it work somehow.”

“Anything is fine, please teach me! Yes!”

“Okay, stop clinging to me! Anyway….”

Anyway, if there’s a way, it’s like seeing a way out.

When I send her sparkling, expectant eyes, Cruise adds, “Don’t expect too much. It’s not that great of a trick,” and then closes her mouth for a moment and begins to organize her thoughts.

And after finishing the verification of her own theory.

“I think it will work if Aileen completes the formula first and sends it to Undine?”

“…Huh?”

I don’t understand.

“Ah… I didn’t explain it enough. I thought about it, but spirit magic is ultimately about using a magic formula that the spirit understands.”

“That’s right. The original is human.”

“Even though the methods are different, the foundation is derived from human formulas, so the roots are the same.”

It’s like a relative’s relative.

“That may be the case. But what does that have to do with the opinion just now?”

“It’s about sending the formula that Aileen completed first to Undine by some means. Then Undine can use magic right away just by focusing her power on that formula.”

As she explains, Cruise draws a small magic circle on her palm.

“It’s a magic called Memory Stock.”

“…Um, was the effect to write a pre-saved magic formula according to the desired time?”

However, overly complex formulas are difficult, and it only applies to magic with a certain degree of low difficulty.

Usually, it is a method used to create timing to stab the opponent’s weakness in a magic battle.

It seems to be applied to magic battles, but I don’t have much to do with it, so I didn’t pay attention to it.

“Come to think of it, there was something like that.”

“You still only remember what you want to use. …Anyway, first, only transmit the theory of the magic formula stored in this way to Undine.”

“And make Undine use it? Is that possible?”

“It’s theoretically possible. Usually, you can’t use a formula written by someone else, but the spirit’s power uses the energy supplied by the spirit master.”

“So, does that mean it’s treated as the same person?”

“You can understand it that way.”

In short, if you think of it as a program, does that mean I have to create a sample first and Undine just copies and pastes it?

That would be easy.

“The most desirable thing is for Undine to properly learn the magic formula, but if you have to use it urgently, I think this method will be effective.”

“Oh….”

I thought about it for a moment and clapped my hands.

It’s surprisingly possible.

As expected, you should keep smart friends by your side.

Then, is the rest just trying it out?

“If you’re going to try it, can I help you?”

Even the Spirit King Senileina willingly offered to cooperate.

* * *

To have a being as great as the Spirit King watch the practice in person.

‘As expected, connections are the best….’

That’s why the world is all about connections.

“Anyway, let’s show it properly since we learned it.”

“Okay! I don’t know well! I’ll try!”

Undine nods her head greatly and emits the spirit power she received from me to the fullest.

Senileina just watches Undine and gestures quietly.

It’s like teaching a child to try as much as you want.

“Spirit magic. A method devised by our kind after seeing humans develop magic.”

As she says that, Senileina creates a formula as if to show a demonstration first.

The wind is intricately intertwined to complete the formula.

“Then I’ll use it too, Undine!”

“Okay! Aileen!”

Undine shouts energetically, even though she doesn’t understand magic well yet.

I decided to use the shortcut that Cruise instructed a little while ago.

Save the pre-configured magic formula using Memory Stock.

‘Should I start with something simple first?’

And I sent the formula I had created to Undine.

Undine flinched and shrugged her shoulders, then clapped her hands loudly.

“I understood!”

She must have known how to use the formula she sent.

“Yes. Undine knows how to do it too!”

Undine also quickly chants spirit magic as if she has a strange sense of competition.

Transparent water is created and it creates a magic circle as it is.

It is a reproduction of the formula I sent.

Literally copy & paste.

“Ice Arrow.”

1st circle ice-type magic Ice Arrow.

The water arrow freezes as it is, creating an ice arrow.

“Basically, spirit magic is based on the attributes of the spirit, so there will be magic that is compatible and magic that is not.”

Cruise explains calmly from behind.

In Undine’s case, since the basic attribute is water, magic of the same water type or attributes related to ice will be compatible.

Conversely, it would be difficult to use something like fire.

The advantage of spirit magic is that you can use magic under the spirit’s judgment without me moving.

In other words, it is possible to use magic doubly, separately from me, who has the capacity of basic 4th circle, and the spirit uses magic additionally.

In addition, even if you use magic twice, it is easy to combine forces because the root comes from my power.

The range of tactics increases.

“Go!”

Undine used magic to fire an ice arrow.

The ice arrow fired at a rapid speed heads towards Senileina’s torso.

But she doesn’t move a step.

“Still immature.”

Calm evaluation.

As she gestures, the magic she chanted earlier is activated.

Whirr.

You can feel the heat even from here.

It created a wind containing high heat.

The heat wave melted and evaporated the ice arrow that Undine shot in an instant.

“Ah!”

“Still, it seems like the usage is properly imprinted. Good job.”

Senileina readily praised Undine’s skill.

“You’ve grown well.”

Those words seem to be directed at me, but I just snicker and pass it off.

Praise is embarrassing.

Anyway, I properly checked Undine’s spirit magic ability.

Above all, spirit magic will become stronger as Undine becomes more proficient and my knowledge deepens, so I am satisfied with this.

“Then let’s go back soon.”

“Yes. I too. To Elmelot.”

“No, you should do some work.”

She decided to work properly as a guild master for once.

Well, seeing the wrinkles on the foreheads of the guild’s staff, including the vice guild master, deepen as she starts to show her face, it seems helpful to skip work like that.

Anyway, I learned what I wanted to learn, so I have no complaints.

‘I don’t want to rush… but I can’t be lazy either.’

If my guess is correct, even at this time, there will be groups threatening commoners like me, sharing evil discussions and moving.

Even in a direction that exceeds my expectations.

‘Something will happen soon.’

Let’s prepare quickly.
