Chapter 20 Wind Magic

“Miss Lydia, watch out.”

Yuri-san grabbed my hand and pulled me away. In the next moment, the place where I had been was scorched with flames.

“What?!”

“It seems we’ve been hit by a long-range attack from a monster. Please wait a moment.”

He spoke with a grim expression. And then…

“Wind, create a gust and become a tornado. Windy Tornado.”

As soon as the chant finished, several huge tornadoes appeared, hiding us.

“Let’s get away now!”

“What?!”

We ran desperately and finally managed to get out of the monsters’ forest. Once we got out of the monsters’ forest, we’d be safe.

I gasped and steadied my ragged breathing. After a while, my breathing steadied, and I spoke to Yuri-san. “What was that just now?”

“Probably a dragon. Sometimes they attack from a distance. It’s not unusual.”

I was surprised by his explanation that the knights are always in such dangerous situations. No wonder they’re always tired.

But there was something that surprised me even more…

“Yuri-san, thank you for helping me.”

“It’s nothing, that’s what I’m here for…?!”

Without even a passing thank you, I grabbed his shoulder. And then…

“Yuri-san, you can use wind magic?”

That’s right. Yuri-san had used wind magic earlier.

Come to think of it, even though Yuri-san is the commander of the knights, he’s also the eldest son of an earl. Since he has noble blood running through his veins, it’s only natural that he can use magic… I’d completely forgotten that!!

Yuri-san nodded, slightly taken aback by my momentum.

 “Yes. I don’t usually use magic because it’s easier to fight with a sword since there’s no chanting, but I sometimes use it when attacking monsters at a distance.”

I see. So that’s why you’ve been fighting without using magic.

I was overjoyed to see the wind magician I was looking for in front of me, and I started talking with that momentum.

“Um, can I use a little of your wind magic? I need it to make magical tools.”

“Really? If Miss Lydia says so, I’ll help you…”

“Then, come to my house now and put Yuri’s magic into the magic stone I got.”

“Today? I’m off today, so it’s possible…”

I got the OK with the momentum, and the confused Yuri and I, decided to work at “Bath Cafe Hot”.

⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎

When we returned to “Bath Cafe Hot”, we placed one of the magic stones we got today on the table.

 By the way, the shop is closed today, so there are no customers, nor Luke or Lina.

“So, what do you want to do, Miss Lydia?”

“I want to make a magic tool that blows out warm air to dry hair after a bath. So I want to infuse the magic stone with my fire magic as well as Yuri’s wind magic.”

“I’ve heard that it’s difficult to infuse a magic seal stone with magic of two elements, is that possible?”

“Really?”

“Apparently, delicate adjustment of magical power is required to infuse two magic elements at the same time.”

Come to think of it, I’ve never seen a magic tool that uses magic of two elements before.

A refrigerated box that uses ice magic, a fan machine that uses wind magic… they all use only one magic element.

I realized that there must be a reason for that, “it’s difficult to infuse magic of two elements into a magic stone.”

But I usually use magic of two elements to make hot water appear. In fact, I can even adjust the temperature of the water, so I should be used to it. Hmm.

“In that case, can you share some of your magic with me?”

I held out my hand to Yuri. People who can use magic can receive a small amount of each other’s magic.

“I understand.”

He nodded and took my hand. At that moment, I felt Yuri’s magic flowing into my body.

I put his magic and my magic into the magic stone. Imagine it being 9 parts wind magic and 1 part fire magic…

As I touched the magic stone, it glowed warmly.

I carefully injected the two magic spells into it.

After I finished infusing it with magic, I held it in my hand and applied some force. Then…

“Warm wind came out!”

“That’s right! It was a success!”

Just as Yuri said, warm wind came out of the magic stone.

 All that’s left now is to get a manufacturer to manufacture it into the shape of a hair dryer, and the hair dryer will be complete.

Having achieved the results I hoped for, I shook Yuri’s hand in joy.

“Now we can make a hair dryer. Thank you so much, Yuri!”

“No, I didn’t do much… Miss Lydia is the amazing one.”

His eyes lit up with surprise, and he nodded in admiration.

“I knew you could use magic with two elements, but I didn’t know you could use them at the same time. It must have taken a long time for you to become so skilled at using magic.”

Yuri looked straight at me with respect, but…

I looked away awkwardly and began to speak.

 “Actually… I was able to use it from the beginning.”

“From the beginning?!”

“I wanted to boil water easily so I could take a bath. I was trying various things and that’s how I learned to use magic with two attributes.”

“It started with a bath?! So you can use magic with two attributes from that?!”

“Maybe my love was too strong…”

When I said that and laughed, he relaxed.

“That’s typical of you, if you want to call it that…”

“Haha”

Well, I guess strong love makes anything possible. I’ve loved it since my past life, so my “love for baths” is stronger than anyone else’s.

Yuri cleared his throat and changed the subject.

 “Thanks to Miss Lydia, I was able to have a valuable experience today. I’d like to thank you.”

“I’m the one who should be thanking you. I’m sorry that you not only helped me hunt for magic stones, but also made me make magic tools.”

Thanks to Yuri, I made great progress in making the hair dryer. I should be grateful.

“As a token of my gratitude, why don’t you come and take a bath at my shop? We’re closed today, so you can use it as a private bath.”

Both Yuri and I went into the forest, so we’re covered in mud and sweat. We should take a bath first.

Yuri’s eyes lit up with a little joy when he heard the word “bath.” Then he nodded with a smile.

“I’ll do that then.”

“Okay. I’ll go and prepare the bath, so please wait a moment.”

That’s right. I’d like to try out “that” bath. I’m sure Yuri would be surprised.
