Reincarnation Band Magician

Let her be happy for a while now.

……

The two women always bathed together.

Because Clara is already one year old and can take a bath, it would be inconvenient for Aite to take a bath alone.

The three of them live together, so naturally they have to help each other.

"Speaking of which, Xiangzi's thing... he needs to pay attention to hygiene."

"Yeah, I almost forgot about it when I was so happy."

"I'm really happy."

Aite, with her hair tied up, looked over and saw that Xiangzi was in a very good mood. Even if she was trying hard to suppress it, it was clear from the corners of her mouth that occasionally turned up.

And the obvious one—

She also kept the umbrella wand beside her while she showered.

"Actually," Art raised his hand and the wand fell down, "There is a magic spell specifically for hiding the wand. Do you want to learn it?"

"Huh? There's such magic... Well, let's wait until tomorrow."

"Ah."

Aite felt that she simply didn't want to put it away now.

Although the wand is indeed beautiful, is it necessary to be so excited?

In the Cage: 24, One Thousand Years Later

Shigaraki Kiyoshi stroked his wand.

The matte black metal didn't feel cold to the touch, as if it had been mixed with minerals with high magical conductivity.

He stroked the black pearls with his fingertips, feeling happy.

Until Solitude sat in front of him.

"Do you like wands so much?"

"Well, men... at least most men, are interested in things like this. When I was a kid, I would find a straight branch and use it as a sword, which would make me happy for a long time."

"You like weapons. There are people like this among the demons. You must not develop in the direction of a general. I have nothing to teach you."

Nagasaki Kiyoshi did not correct her misunderstanding and was curious about what she meant by "general" when she mentioned it for the second time.

Got the answer and what happened in the morning.

It seems the demons aren't united. Even outstanding warriors, demons with the title of general, were killed without a care in the world by Solitaire.

Wait a moment.

I was so immersed in studying this afternoon that I forgot to look at the cards.

The points increased by 45 points compared to before, 40 of which were added today, and 5 points were added when Solitier helped the merchant clear monsters on the way to buy musical instruments two days ago.

[Is the Demon Tribe's general only worth 40 points? ]

Or was it that the slave-hunting team that captured Aite was too "strong"? They had committed more sins than the Demon General.

After thinking about it, Nagasaki Qing felt that the demons were probably the more dangerous. The reason why he had so few points was because he had little involvement in this matter.

The previous times, they went out specifically for them, and on the way to achieve their goal, they cleared out the slave-hunting teams and bandits. This time, they went on the way back, and it was more out of Solitaire's wish.

Even if there was no Nagasaki Kiyoshi, Solitaire would still kill anyone who got in her way.

Something like this.

However, the store still has the same things, you can learn about them, there is no need to buy them.

It only took a moment to think about this.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi felt that his thinking speed was improving, just like his body's reaction.

His adaptive evolution...could it be that he is evolving towards Solitude?

I temporarily stopped thinking about this question and didn't let the final answer emerge.

Solitaire continued with the previous topic.

"It would be great if you were a demon. You could use whatever you like. Using magic to construct matter is like breathing to us."

She said, standing up and lifting her skirt to show it.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi remembered that it was broken at noon.

“It was repaired using magic power. We (the demons) are very good at this kind of operation. It’s a pity. I have worn this dress for about a hundred years, and this is the first time it has been damaged.

"If it were any other general, it would be more serious. [Divine Skill] Refuldi, [Lightning] Hulk... Of course, if I were facing them, I would be more serious, but it's undeniable that this was a low-level mistake."

Solitaire's current growth has a lot to do with her self-reflection.

"To remind myself, change into new clothes. Qing, you pick one for me."

She took Nagasaki Kiyoshi's hand and came to the room of the three of them.

I still can’t understand any of the books on the bookshelf.

There was a box in the corner, with an antique style. The knowledge Qing had just learned today told him that this box had existed for at least ten times his age.

Solitaire opened it and on top was a red top.

"I really miss it. This is a gift from my friend. I only wear it when it's important."

She put this one down, then turned out the one underneath and spread it on the floor.

"Qing, which one do you like?"

It sounded like words from a lover, but in fact... the clothes he picked would be used to commemorate him, just like the red shirt commemorating his friend.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi looked around and without much thought, chose a similar white dress.

Demons have no families, no partners, and therefore no need for mates.

The difference in status is shown through magic rather than clothes.

When all the added value of decorations is stripped away, they don't matter as long as they are not too ugly.

"That's a really conservative choice. Do you think I'd like it? Not bad, I'll make a note of it."

……

For a long time, the three of them learned magic from Solitaire.

Completely different from her initial "free-range" style of teaching Aite, after she started teaching Nagasaki Kiyoshi and Toyokawa Shoko, her teaching was detailed down to the last detail, down to every ancient common language.

Compared with the original text, the evolution process of each word, its meaning in different periods, and its corresponding relationship with contemporary language will be marked out.

A completely responsible teacher.

Such a detailed explanation made Aite realize that her previous understanding was not entirely different, but it was also very different.

But she was able to use magic before.

Is this the greatness of Volame? Even if one understands it only a little, one can harness the power of magic.

During their discussion, Solletil noticed the reference to "he" and asked curiously, "Why do you think Volame is a man?"

"Isn't it?"

Aite was a little surprised and explained, "I've read the collection of the Unified Empire's southern palace books. They record the exchanges between the emperor and Volame at that time. The fourth emperor after that said that Volame was a kind person like his grandfather."

"It's like that again! That's a lie. Although you humans have the habit of keeping records, your lifespans are still insufficient. We can only speculate about past events. History is distorted bit by bit in this way."

Solitaire sat down and was happy to share her insights:

"Folamei is a woman who promotes magic, educates students, and fights against demons...

"Taking on such heavy work, she died much earlier than ordinary people. The second emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and the fourth generation might not even know where her tomb is.

"But it doesn't matter. For humans, their cognition is refreshed every few decades. Maybe in the future, someone will think that Volame is a woman and write something that can make me laugh."

When talking about Volame, Solitaire's attitude became more serious, and it was rare for her to give such a high evaluation.

To the demons, it was a respectable enemy. Volame persuaded the emperor of the unified empire to use the whole country's strength to study magic and apply it in the military field. Today, in the field of conventional magic, it is already on par with the demons.

Before her, magic was considered a technology of the demons and was discriminated against. To fight against the demon magicians, a large army and elite soldiers and warriors had to sacrifice their lives.

It can be said that the popularization of magic has saved countless lives.

Nagasaki Kiyoshi listened to her tone and asked curiously, "Has Solitaire ever met Volame?"

"It's a pity not to have that—I feel sorry for it now, but if I really ran into that person, he would definitely kill me without hesitation."

She gave a look of regret.

"There are still many mysteries about magic from thousands of years ago. Even the demons can't understand it. It's a shame that humans can't become stronger because their lifespans are too short."

Solitaire looked over as she spoke, her light green eyes reflecting the three of them.

"I hope you can also bring me a regret that I will still feel a thousand years from now."

In the Cage: 25. The Magician's Learning

"Whether human or demon, everyone starts with basic magic. After that, each person will find a direction to delve into based on their preferences, physique, and their own characteristics. In the end, they often create new magic or add their own unique characteristics to the existing magic."

Solitaire said, raising her hand, and a broad sword blade appeared in front of her.

"For example, I really like this magic. It's a variant of the Demon Clan's basic magic construction magic. It consumes little energy, is concealed, and the traces of wounds won't reveal the identity, although its power is average.

"You will find magic you like in the future. Until then, just slowly learn the basic theory."

She communicated with her students like a truly good teacher.

In reality, both she and the other three knew that she was just pretending to be a teacher and that this was part of her attempt to please Solitude.

……

The hottest days are over and the temperature is starting to drop.

"laugh--"

The magic power attached to the head of the staff cut through the wood like a sharp blade.

"The last one."

Nagasaki Kiyoshi used magic to drag the fallen tree away.

When he squatted down, his coat, which was almost hanging on the ground, made him feel the cold weather.

According to the season in Tokyo, it is probably autumn now, but the temperature is dropping faster. He cut down the trees to repair and reinforce the chicken coop and add a wooden door.

Another two months have passed...

What happened in these two months?

Study with Aite every morning and practice magic with Solitaire in the afternoon.

My understanding of this continent is getting deeper and deeper. I have already mastered the ancient language and can read magic books on my own...

But Solitude is still a mountain.

Standing there, the more you understand, the more you realize its pure power, which is unimaginable and cannot be shaken.

Magic is the realm of imagination. If you can't imagine it, you will never be able to do it.

Actually...it's not unimaginable.

It's just that I can't do it now.

He came to his senses and continued to process the wood, tying it tightly with dry vines, fixing it, and drying it in the sun.

Solitaire's "disposable carriage" sank into the sea after it was used up. A while ago, I remembered it and fished out a still intact one, intending to modify it and replace the original one I had made up.

That's it for now.

With magic, these didn't take up too much of his time.

Back at the shipyard, Clara's laughter restored him to his usual spirits.

The mother held her daughter up and let her play in front of the piano. Her little feet, which were only half the size of a palm, kicked the keys randomly, and she laughed happily when she heard the sound.
