BXBX NOVEL Chapter 277
The color of the light was pale red. The light color was similar to a rose. Warm and gorgeous colors swirled slowly in a shape that looked as if it were extending its branches to the sky.
It was breathtakingly beautiful.
“Neat right? This is for you.”
“My…! But, it is such a precious thing.”
Isaac smiled and offered her the rainbow stone, but Ekaterina hesitated. It was large, and in terms of overall value in terms of light intensity and beauty, this was a gem that could not even be compared to the rainbow stone that had once been made into my brooch.
“Isn’t this an interesting academic sample? Great-Uncle should have it. I am content with your sentiments.”
“Ekaterina is a good girl. It seems to be a rare attribute and of good quality, so I would be happy to let you analyze it sometime, but since it was picked for you, I hope you won’t mind accepting it. Oh, but it’s too heavy for a girl, so I’ll hold it for you.”
“Professor, I’ll carry it for you.”
“Aaron-sama, if it belongs to the Young Lady, I’ll take it.”
Aaron quickly stepped forward, but Mina was quicker than Aaron to snatch the rainbow stone from Isaac’s arms.
“It’s heavy…oh, but you are, I see.”
Isaac nodded, seeming to have guessed Mina’s background in the way she held it lightly, though she seemed to be someone who would never let a girl carry anything heavy, even if she was a maid.
“So, Professor, Young Lady, shall we go back?”
“Oh, sure, Ekaterina, you must be tired. Take a good rest when you get back.”
Aaron said, as if coming to his senses, and Isaac nodded calmly.
Aaron’s tone seemed strangely impatient, and Ekaterina tilted her head, wondering if he had another plan, but then she thought about the fact that they were entering a closed mine. There must be some safety issues or something.
Convinced, Ekaterina hurried to withdraw.
“Great-Uncle, just now I felt your magic power going far into the depths of the earth. This rainbow stone was drawn – from those depths, wasn’t it?”
Ekaterina said to Isaac on the way back to the mining operation headquarters.
Amazing special magic power. Like using Aport if I were to compare it to the knowledge I had in my previous life? Was that psychic power?
On the contrary, in this world, there should be almost no examples of magic to bring materials to one’s hand.
I did see a description of such a case in a research book on magic, but it was only a few verses long.
Speaking of calling things into existence where they did not exist, fire, light, darkness, lightning, and so on fell into this. Water could also be possible, but I think that it was actually water vapor in the atmosphere that was liquefied. Bringing a stone buried in the ground to one’s hand was fundamentally different.
“Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve been looking for rocks, and the rare ones would call to me from somewhere. When I was called, I couldn’t resist picking them, so I used to dig them out of the ground with a shovel. But I knew that it would be a nuisance because it would stain my clothes, so I tried hard to figure out if I could bring them to me using my magic powers, and I was able to do it.”
So, that’s what Laiza-san, who was a laundry woman, was talking about!
So, the genius thought didn’t stop at [stopping to collect the stones], but worked towards [being able to collect the stones without soiling his clothes]… they did mention that a genius was 1% inspiration and 99% effort…
“Is Great-Uncle’s magic attribute earth?”
