As the scandal I spread apparently had an effect, and since Primrose refused all other tea parties after having learned it the hard way on the one party we attended, I was never again forced to attend a tea party, and it was decided that evening parties would be off-limits for me, too.
Nice, I did it! This is going to allow me to focus on my training.
Oh, come to think of it, this world measures time and dates with magic tools! With magic tools!! At least Iâve heard so!
A magic tool, huuuh� I really wanna have one myself. That which is owned by most people (not only nobles, but even commoners) is inaccessible to me. The reason is obvious.
Since I couldnât do anything to fix it, Iâve been writing down the dates by myself. When I later counted them after quite a while, close to two years, going by the other worldâs time scale, had already passed.
During those two years not one day passed without me training my magic arts. By now Iâve reached a level where I can unconsciously gather the fluffy something around me day and night. As soon as I focus on it, I can draw Mr. Fluff over from slightly distant places like a vacuum cleaner with a boosted suction power.
â¦I think that Mr. Fluff might also be at fault for my physical abilities having gone through the roof. ââI wonder whether Iâd be able to make a living without Mr. Fluff? Since I got slightly scared by the implications of that question, I further increased my muscle training menu.
â¦But you see, somehow, yeahâ¦Iâve become capable of cleanly cutting a branch in half with my wooden swordâ¦and not just thatâ¦it unfortunately looks like I could also cut it with a hand strike if I feel like it. Itâs totally turned into a shonen manga at this point. Soon I might be able to cut things like rocks with my wooden sword.
And!! Iâve finally become able to use something similar to magic when I went through several trial and error runs by myself. As I thought, Mr. Fluff was the source of magic arts! When I transmit an image of water to Mr. Fluff, he becomes water.
Well, I make it sound easy, but it was actually quite difficult, okay?
Iâve also become able to somehow create stuff like fire, hot water, or ice. Iâve resolved it by feeding energy to Mr. Fluff.
ââOnce I succeeded with one type, several other types quickly became available as well.
In the end I also managed to create soap. It was super, super tough, but I prevailed!
Howeverâ¦I wonder whether this is really the proper way of using magic artsâ¦or maybe I should ask, is it magic arts that Iâm using?
When I leave this place some day and meet someone capable of using magic, Iâll beg them to teach me. The same applies for magic tools.
My physical attacks? â¦I canât really tell. Just like I havenât fought anyone yet, I havenât seen any fights so far either, so I canât gauge my own abilities. Going by the standards of the other world, Iâve gone way beyond superwoman and reached levels as youâd find them in manga and novels, but if itâs this worldâs standard, I might still be among the weakest⦠Well, at least I feel stronger than the dumb girl, but that tells me nothing.
Right now Iâm doing the very same training as itâs described in manga. First I used self-made traps to dodge attacks and climbed a mountain up and down while blindfolded, but since that soon became too easy as well, I tried blindfolded mountain-climbing while carrying a rock. Iâd like to experience actual combat, but thereâs simply no opponent at handâ¦
This place is behind a noble mansion, and probably part of its property, so I doubt that someone would pop out of the woodworks just like that.
ââStop, stop!
Just when I noticed that this was a âflagâ going by the other worldâs terminology, someone showed up as I was taking a rest after having finished my training.
