My House Is a Magic Power Spot ~Just by Living There I Become the Strongest in the World~

Chapter 244: Spares are Important

I stood in front of Nagini and Hesty gripping the magic crystal between my hands and started the work.

「Ummm, first I gotta make it round like this…」

I remembered the feeling I had when making the pestle before as I slowly modified the crystal’s shape. As I was doing that I could see Nagini wiping away a ton of sweat and murmuring something.

「…..umm, I don’t know if it’s my imagination…but it looks like space is warping a bit ssu….」

「n? Well I’m making this rock malleable so you might be an optical illusion.」

「I-Is that so ssu……but still…I can see the light of the magic power warping and twisting…….」

She was saying weird stuff about space warping that I really didn’t get. Anyways, I had to set it aside and focus on creating the pestle.

After all, this time I didn’t have Sakura’s support…

This was the first project that required control like this that I was doing without help. I had to carefully do my best. I put a bit more power into my hands.

……hmmmmmm, this is a bit difficult.

I used all the strength in my body and it felt like I was kneading very thick dough.

Furthermore I had to concentrate fully which was enough to make me start sweating.

…..however, it wasn’t hard enough that I found it impossible.

The sensation was very tough, but I was still steadily molding it.

At this rate it would take some time, but I could complete it.

Then, as the sun in the sky had set slightly……

「Alright, it’s finished!」

I finally finished molding the magic crystal into a pestle.

In front of me was a glittering, gray, and transparent pestle.

「Fuu…..somehow I managed it in one shot.」

I sighed wiping the sweat from my brow.

It took time and tired me out, but I was able to demonstrate my abilities and properly mold this really hard magic crystal.

I was more or less used to it, but I’m glad it went well.

「I would’ve preferred finishing a bit faster…but anyways this is usually how I make my tools Nagini.」

All I had to do now was show the finished product to Hesty and Nagini and get their opinions. I looked over to them and……

「…..eh, Hesty-san…i-is this something that’s meant to happen…that’s meant to exist in this world ssu?」

「n….I don’t think that’s an, issue. You can see, safety was taken into consideration. Plus it was made, carefully, and perfectly so it isn’t, unstable so it won’t, go out of control. Also, he had made one, of these before.」

「T-there’s another of these in existence ssu…..」

They spoke staring at the newly completed pestle.

I could see Nagini seemed to be flustered.

「Hm? What’s wrong guys?」

「What’s wrong? ….the thing you created Master….honestly it’s something that should be sealed away as a weapon or treated as a sacred treasure….and you made it in only an hour…I’m feeling weird now ssu…」

「Sacred….?」

What the heck was that? I wondered and looked to Hesty for an explanation.

「n, they were made, long ago, by an ancient godly race as weapons. There are 9 left in the, world, and they’re all, very powerful.」

「Yes. Most of them can easily wipe a country off the face of the map ssu…..that’s how much magic power is contained within ssu.」

「Oh is that so? But I didn’t make this to destroy any countries or whatnot so don’t worry. If it’s not equipped to one of my golems it can’t even move after all.」

There was no way I would use it for such a scary objective.

「I-I see ssu. Well if Master says that then….I guess…..uu, nope. I still can’t accept it ssu….」

Nagini tried to nod but instead just hung her head.

「Huh? …..did I make a mistake in my explanation or something?」

「No, you’re fine Daichi. I understood. Nagini might, take some time to accept it, so we should let her be, for a while. For a project like this, unless you have magic power, like him, you cannot complete it safely. Once you accept that as, truth it makes it, easier right?」

「A bit ssu…..I had a feeling….that was the case ssu.」

With that Hesty and Nagini looked at me with odd gazes and I had completed my pestle.

Without Sakura’s aid the project was much more difficult to complete but…un, I was able to finish it to satisfaction and I worked up a sweat…all’s well that ends well.

Looking at the project I had completed I felt a small sense of accomplishment.
