The Magician Kunon Sees Everything

While the royal court magicians were giggling and playing with the ‘super soft water ball’, Rondimond and the others, who had finished playing, were contemplating.

“…I think I can use it as a cushion.”

“…Yes, it would work as a cushion. If it’s at a certain height, it could reduce the impact of a fall.”

“…It has an interesting texture. Could be good for a bed.”

“…Yeah. In fact, they’re almost all sleeping there.”

“I sometimes use it for napping. The water temperature can be raised and lowered to a certain degree.”

Kunon is also in the crowd, but no one is paying attention to him.

Then again, to what extent is that a characteristic of water?

What would happen if you put a fire on that squishy stuff?

How long does it last? Would it be easier to sleep with a little more elasticity? Or would it be better with that softness?

“…Oops, yeah, we need to keep testing.”

Suddenly Rondimond came back to himself.

There are a lot of things I want to try, but that can wait.

“What do you think will happen if we increase the elasticity? It’s going to be very bouncy. We’ll be able to jump up to the second floor of a castle.”

“What?!…… No, stop it, Kunon. If you attract our attention any further, you won’t be able to leave today. I don’t want you to leave. Some of us already have.”

Kunon didn’t hear Rondimond’s words until he added in a small voice, “Well, we’re okay with that.”

He remembered his dinner appointment with Milica.

He had come early in the morning, but he had taken time out to consider “water polo” and it was already almost noon.

It had been a great time for Kunon and he wanted to experiment, but dinner with his future wife was barely a higher priority.

The “super soft water ball” was just one of the things I could show them.

If I spend this much time on one of my projects, I won’t be able to finish it by the end of the night.

It’s already a skeleton of a test.

“I can also do other things like this.”

A black cat is suddenly born on both of Kunon’s offering hands.

It’s already a mess.

If this happens, there will be no more need for Rondimond’s progress.

In order to save time, Kunon decided to show as much as he could.

Kunon also wanted to hear the opinions of these talented magicians.

I want to show them more and more. I don’t have any magic that I need to hide yet.

“Is this the animal reproduction I’ve heard so much about?”

“Yes.”

When Kunon offered it, someone else took it.

“…. Oh, It’s warm and….. amazing, it feels just like a cat.”

“It’s just cat-like.”

I can make a lot of animals.

The figure can be reproduced as it is, using the picture and information from the picture book.

However, only cats can be recreated properly, including the texture.

This is because Kunon has already actually touched a cat.

Based on this tactile information, I managed to complete this object by fine-tuning the shape and texture of the film on the water.

This was the most difficult transformation of the “water ball” for Kunon. It took a lot of time.

More than once, though, I wondered if it was really necessary to take so much time to learn it.

But it was well received by those to whom I showed it and those who touched it, so I guess it turned out well.

“It can’t be moved though. It only moves in three patterns: standing, sitting and curling up. If I could see the cat’s movements, I might be able to move it.”

Kunon couldn’t see, so he couldn’t really understand how the cat moved from the description alone. The only thing he could make up for in his imagination was the cat’s blinking.

“…Move it, huh? That’s how you make your water ball transformation work?”

“…Make it look like a living thing. Transform it. Change the color. Haha, it’s like only water can do that.”

“…Can I borrow your cat?”

“No. I’ll raise her.”

It’s not a living thing, so it won’t grow up.

“In other words, if you know what it looks like in detail, and you know how it moves, you can recreate it with water.”

He nodded at Rondimond’s words, “Yes, you’re right.”

‘I think we probably can. In fact…”

In fact, I’ve already done it.

I’ve recreated Iko, the maid of honor, with water.

I can use my own movements as a reference.

I couldn’t make the details of the face, so the modeling must have been very simple, but I was able to recreate a “water doll” that looked like a maidservant from a distance.

However, I heard from the lady herself that her movements were quite strange.

“What was wrong with the movements?”

“There’s a difference between a real person walking and a ‘water doll’ that looks like it’s walking……”

The maidservant couldn’t explain it very well, so Kunon didn’t really understand the problem either.

He had other things to do, and when the maid asked him to stop because she didn’t like what she was seeing, he never saw her again.

“The maidservant didn’t like it, so I didn’t do much research on it. To be honest, it’s not something I can show you…….”

But that’s where the researchers, the royal court magicians, come in.

“…Commissioner, wouldn’t it be quicker to take a look?”

“That’s right. Kunon, why don’t you give it a try here?”

Good or bad, it is an object of observation.

If it’s the first time they’ve ever seen something like this, it’s even better.

“Okay.”

And Kunon agreed.

…He’ll wish he hadn’t. He’ll regret it later.

He should have thought about why the maid did not want to do it.

And Kunon.

And Rondimond.

And the other royal sorcerers.

The water doll was originally a ‘Water Ball-A-Ori”.

It’s the magic that creates and manipulates “water balls”.

Such “water dolls,” which have the same characteristics as “water balls,” can naturally fly to some degree.

The reason why the maidservant said it was weird was because of this.

It’s an object in the shape of a person, moving like a human, but with a different logic than a human.

They walk as if they were gliding on the ground, sometimes they float, and if they hit an obstacle, they slip through as water or explode.

Although they appear to be human from a distance, their strange movements make people think of them as spirits.

It was a coincidence.

Or perhaps it was inevitable since it had been going on until the coincidence occurred.

A maid who was cleaning a room on the third floor of the royal castle suddenly turned her eyes to the window.

That was the moment.

A shadow passed through the window.

From top to bottom.

“…Ki, Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

– For a moment, the maid didn’t know what had just happened, and she couldn’t recognize what it was.

– When she understood the scene, she let out a scream.

“It’s a jump.”

Someone had jumped from a window on the upper floor.

And from the color, I saw for a moment that it was a servant’s clothes. It must be a fellow maid.

Hearing the screams, soldiers and knights jumped into the room.

A frightened maid explained what she had just seen outside the window.

There was an uproar.

The maids who had gathered in the field paled and thought one of their own had jumped, spread rumors to see who was missing.

One of the knights opened the window and checked below.

No one was there.

There was no sign that anyone had fallen.

Could the maid have been mistaken?

But for that, the way she was frightened was very serious. There was no doubt that she had seen something.

“…….”

There is no one outside.

You can see the royal court magicians hanging out in front of the black tower, far away from here, making some kind of noise……

“That’s it.”

And then there was the doll in the form of a servant, flying around in the air above them.

The culprit behind the riot has been identified.

The incident ended with a month’s pay cut for the royal court magician commissioner and the royal court magicians, and a stern warning for Kunon Gurion.

Kunon was very angry.
