LIGHTNOVELWORLD Episode 34: Earth, the Rose Garden, and the Grinder
“By the way, Cathode, you’ve turned off the electric shock. What kind of magic tool is that?”
“Oh, that’s it. There’s a wire in the leather glove on my left hand. That’s how I touched the electric shock.”
“What is it, low tech?”
“That’s not true. Even if it hits your body with a cover, you won’t get an electric shock. It’s a great invention.”
It’s an amazing invention for this world.
Is it the covered wire and grounding mechanism?
I can’t believe Cathode thought of that.
“Did you think of that?”
“No, big brother.”
“As expected. That’s how I felt.”
And the game goes on.
It was my turn.
His opponent was Axial.
When I look at the tournament table, it seems that I only play against my acquaintances.
Was it designed on purpose?
No, it’s probably a coincidence.
It’s like a miracle that everyone survived.
“Shar-kun, do your best.”
“I’ll give you a flower [a bouquet of quartz]. Look at me. I’ll dedicate victory to you.”
Axial is enough.
I make and distribute flowers.
“Kyaa, Axial-kun, look this way.”
“Cunning. You took two flowers, didn’t you?”
“They’re tangled and stuck together. If you try to force them off, they’ll break. Just like me and Char-kun.”
“Wow, it’s cold. Your behavior is cold.”
There are also fights between girls.
“Isn’t your opponent’s boy good?”
“Eh, were you a shota?! I refuse to meet you!”
Looks like I have some fans too.
I don’t particularly want fans, but I’m relieved that it doesn’t seem like I’m an ugly guy.
“Are you ready? Let’s begin.”
“[Rose Garden]. Mr. Tait, do you want me to scatter my flowers on you?”
With the first signal, a garden of quartz and iron flowers formed around the axial.
Did I mention it’s a defensive stance?
“【fireball】”
I started by shooting fireballs.
“[Protect the rose]”
The quartz rose catches the fireball.
I knew it was no good.
“How about this. [Electric shock]”
The electric shock was absorbed into the iron flower.
Well, electricity doesn’t work on metal.
If there is metal nearby, electricity will be attracted to it.
It can’t be helped, should I play the trump card?
“【grinder】”
I decided to cut the quartz, iron, and rose by rotating the stone into a disk shape.
This magic was created assuming that someone would be locked up in a prison or something like that.
When the stone grinder touched the stone rose, it sparked.
“It is the fate of flowers to be broken by hand. It is beautiful to be broken by hand with sparks.”
Line of fire was secured to Axial.
“[Electric launch]”
“Huh?”
“That’s it, winner tight.”
“Kyaa”
“Charu-kun who faints is also lovely.”
This is the magic I used.
extern MAGIC *stone_disk_make(float mana);
extern void magic_spin_move(MAGIC *mp);
extern void magic_tracking_move(MAGIC *mp);
extern int mclose(MAGIC *mp);
void main(void)
{
MAGIC *mp; /*Magic definition*/
mp=stone_disk_make(0.0001); /*Make a stone disk*/
while(1){ /* infinite loop */
magic_spin_move(mp); /*Rotate*/
magic_tracking_move(mp); /*Move with your body*/
}
mclose(mp); /*Magic end processing*/
}
Axial opened his eyes when I went by him.
I don’t think I fainted.
I reached out and pulled Axial to his feet.
“We lost. But it was a beautiful blowout.”
“Sai?”
“Could you cut all the remaining flowers, too? I want to give them a present as a souvenir.”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
I cut the flower and handed it to Axial.
“Thank you for supporting me. Please support me again next year.”
Axial handed each girl a flower.
I suddenly wondered.
I wonder why the Magic Fun Research Society is deserted.
It looks like there will be a lot of girls who like Axial.
“Why aren’t you popular with Omotenashi?
“Ah, that’s right. A long time ago, various things happened and a war broke out. That’s why an armistice agreement was made.”
I don’t know the content of the armistice agreement, but I can somehow imagine it.
Probably, the child of the fan of Axial will not be able to enter the main research.
I’m jealous that I’m a bastard and won’t enter.
Is this a place?
The fourth day of the ranking match is over.
