*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' '' | *{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Come to think of it, didn't you say the Order requested you create an artifact? What did they want you to create?'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Artificial spirits. More precisely, a blueprint to create an incubator to allow creation of multipurpose artificial spirits. I know, it's a mouthful. Artificial spirits are, at the core, aggregation of magic. They cannot maintain the shape on their own, so they end up scattering. So, you give them a capsule as a 'body'. If you connect that to a device and give orders, they can move on their own. It's mindless, repetitive work, but the device was created to help out where it's tricky or even dangerous for humans to implement. It's like me, actually. An artifact that can be used semi-permanently. Kind of ironic that I'm stuck in a capsule made for an artificial spirit.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''It sounds like a tool that exploits spirits.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''It's really not. Artificial spirits are not actually living beings. For example, you may consider fire spirits as a living being, but not fire itself. Artificial spirit is just a name to help an average person understand better. It's actually closer to elemental magic with the addition of implementing spirits' behavioral patterns.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I still don't understand. How does this all work?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Mm... In one of my earlier successes... There was an auto-sweeping broom using the artificial spirit of wind.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''... It's rather plain, considering the grandiose theory behind it. What about others?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''A lamp that lights itself when someone approaches.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Do your own chores!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Sigh... The three greatest innovation in technology is lightness, diversity, and high-performance. Of course YOU wouldn't understand, kid.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''You just made it because you're too lazy to do them yourself. I bet the floor was the only thing clean in your house.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''You say it as if you're seen it yourself... You're right. A task of cleaning or turning on the lights is nothing special for an average individual. But what if you're missing an arm or a leg? Those ordinary chores would become exponentially more difficult. Even those without disabilities would find these tasks hard to accomplish if you are very young, or very old. I bet you couldn't do certain things when you were younger and shorter, hm?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Well... Yes...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''When I was younger, there was a fire every two months or so. It usually started because someone made a mistake when lighting a lamp. Those mistakes were often made by those who were old with shaking arms, or children who had a hard time reaching the lamps. So I thought, if there are so many accidents that happen, trying to light a lamp, why not remove the process completely and let magic handle it?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''...I never thought of it like that... To fix things that way.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Of course, these tasks are easy with magic or servants, but not everyone is blessed like that. Everyone selects tools according to their needs. The wider the selection of tools, the more convenience there is for the people. As a magitech scholar, it is my job to solve even the most trivial problems. Well, at least, that's one aspect of it. Do you get it now?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''... I heard something similar. That the Goddess gave us the will to cover each other's weaknesses in order to create a complete world. What you made, it somehow reminded me of it. It may have nothing to do with each other but...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''You're right. Covering flaws and enhancing strengths is the foundation in the field of magitech. It's really a perfect way to describe it. Who told you?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''...Someone I respect the most.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''How about you respect me for inventing devices that help many people?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''... Why did the Order need a device like that? Surely, they weren't thinking about the betterment of humanity.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Changing the topic, I see? I'm so proud of you. You're taking to my lessons like a duck to water.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''You're ridiculous.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Mm, well... The Order said they were going to use the invention for good. On the surface.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''On the surface...'' | |||

*{{StoryIcon|?}} '''???:''' '' | *{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''So, tell me... about Harque.'' | ||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''...Why do you ask?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Just curious. I swear it's not because a kid was desperately crying out his name.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Ugh... You can just say you've heard me.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''You said Harque was the candidate for the Moon Master, right? Do El Masters usually come from the same family?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Not always. A family that produces the El Master gains great influence, so other families are also desperate to train their own candidates. But, abilities are, in large part, inherited. And families that already produced El Masters have the know-how, so certain families often end up producing multiple El Masters.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Great influence to the family with the El Master? I can only imagine how desperate people became to have El Masters appointed from their own families with a system like that.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''...I heard the appointments were not always made... justly. But... Harque was different. He was aware of his own limits, but trained harder than anyone, researching endlessly to overcome his weakness. The Moon Master needs to use both the power of the Moon, and the power of Darkness. For someone like Harque... who had a low tolerance to the dark element, it wasn't an easy challenge. But he went through excruciating hardship to train, and passed the trials to become the next Moon Master. There was no one like him before.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''.......'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''If it weren't for the Order... If the Order did not take away his life and opportunity, he would have been the greatest Master there ever was. He was... someone like that.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''He was a hard worker. He sounds amazing.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''Yeah. And... he was a great brother. He told me to help others. He believed that I could. ...I don't think I could have been the kind of person to meet his expectations, even without the Order ruining my life.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Why do you think that?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I'm not a hard worker like Harque, nor was I born with the abilities. There's a limit to what I can do, no matter how hard I try. I wanted to be someone who could support him by his side... But even that is a dream that can no longer be achieved. I was lucky I could help Yuria this time. Even that was a failure when I did it the first time...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''First time? Failure?'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''...Never mind, I was thinking about something else.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''Hm... Alright. To me, it sounds like you're demeaning yourself. You're thinking too much. What you did, was a great help to those at the camp. Have some confidence!'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''It's just a few flowers...'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''It may not have been a big deal for you, but it was just what they needed. That's all there is to it.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''...That was enough rest. Let's go.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Clamor}} '''Clamor:''' ''I'll let you go this time, kid. Since you're so embarrassed.'' | |||
*{{StoryIcon|Noah}} '''Noah:''' ''I'm telling you... I'm not a kid.'' | |||
