Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN) Chapter 279

She already had enough points, and so I had asked for her help .

"I…as you know, am not very good at cooking…"

She seemed worried, but it was no problem .

What I was going to ask Marsha was not cooking, but a new type of magic experiment .

I thought that her talent for magic was genuine, and so I wanted to use this opportunity to perform an experiment that I had thought of .

Besides, if I needed any help, there was also an instructor who was healing from an injury that I could ask .

"Alright, I'll be back once at midday . "

"Leave the firewood to me!"

"See you later!"

So saying, the three of them set out .

Now, it was time to start preparing the food .

As I had caught the monster alive, the meat would be very fresh .

I asked the combat supervisor, who had recovered from an injury, to remove the blood and process the meat .

There was something awe-inspiring about watching it happen .

If I wanted to-well, I could perform it in auto-mode with Ciel's help, but I didn't want to draw any attention .

I just want to make it very clear, it had nothing to do with my sore muscle .

You could say that the instructor's efforts were a huge help .

On the first day, we had done a fish barbecue, but today we would have meat skewers .

I added some wild vegetables that looked highly nutritious along with the meat as I skewered them .

Then I sprinkled some of the prepared salt over them and finished it off with some ground up grass on top .

Now I just had to cook them .

To be honest, it looked quite delicious already .

After all, I had used 'Appraisal' to find out the right amount of salt and adjust the flavor with the herbs .

This meant that under the circumstances, it was in the best possible state .

However, I was not finished yet .

The main dish would be the soup I was making now, through boiling the bones .

"How is it?"

I asked Marsha .

And then-

"I can't believe it… How…there is no magic depletion, so how is it possible to control magic with such accuracy for a long period of time!?"

She replied with much excitement .

It seems to have worked . I gloated inwardly .

I actually wanted to test it myself, but that was just not possible . My identity needed to stay hidden, and it wouldn't make sense for me to teach new types of magic when I wasn't even a student .

And so .

I had Old William become my assistant .

Well, I asked him to be sort of an instructor .

Last night, I had secretly talk with William, saying that I would have Marsha stay as a helper . That was when William would naturally start to talk to her and eventually instruct her . That was the plan .

And it was going well .

As for the rest…

◇◇◇

After I finished preparing the bones to be boiled in the large pot, I started talking to Marsha .

That was the signal to start .

"Marsha, I'm sorry . But could you adjust the flames with magic?"

I asked her in the most natural way .

And since Marsha accepted it as planned, the adjusting of the flames while the bones were boiling became her job .

But it wasn't the easiest job .

While Marsha had a lot of magical power and was good at controlling mana, you needed to be able to concentrate well in order to do it .

As I watched from the side, William saw his opportunity and approached her .

He called to Marsha, who was having trouble, and gave her some advice while also trying to change the subject .

"Ah, that reminds me, Marsha . I have this magic item passed on to me by a friend…perhaps you will be able to use it . Do you want to give it a try?"

While helping her, he casually referred to this thing as if just remembering it . Then he pulled out what appeared to be seven playing cards from his pocket .

The material that they were made of was pure 'Demon Steel . '

"Master, what is this…"

"This is…"

William explained it to her just as I had explained it to him last night .

He glanced at me several times to make sure he was getting it right, but it seemed like Marsha didn't notice it .

He was mostly right anyway, and so I gave him the okay signal .

With renewed confidence, William returned to his explanation .

What I had given him last night was a new type of magical device that I had devised .

There were eight media cards that formed the basis .

These represented the eight great attributes of the power of spirits that made this world .

Light and shadow, time, and earth, water, fire, wind, and sky .

What Marsha had received, was seven of those eight .

Time alone could not be used by people, and so I had excluded it .

The light could purify, nurture and regenerate .

The shadow could conceal, was psychological, and could destroy .

The earth had the power to pull, break and condense .

The water could solidify, stop and be released .

The fire burned, accelerated and exploded .

The wind was in waves, had an impact and vibrated .

The sky was space, existence, and information .

Like that, the media cards had primitive words that represented the different natures carved into them .

And so all you needed to do was allow magic to flow into the card and will it, and it would be possible to create that effect .

As the media card itself controlled the magic, the effect would not be interrupted even if the person using them became distracted .

What was important was your imagination when activating the magic .

You did not even need to chant .

Nothing would happen if you will a shadow effect while using the light card . And while you did need to make the right choices and follow the procedures, that was just a matter of becoming familiar .

I decided to call this new form of magic-Anagram Magic .

Currently, it only had the most basic letters carved in, but I intended to eventually make it more complex and layered .

For instance, I could combine earth-type(condense) and fire-type(explosion) and create 'Gravity Collapse . '
