Apparently, after seeing how Chika and her friends fought in the Suigetsu dungeon, Shun decided to learn swordsmanship like Chika. Hearing this, Arisa wondered if she could respond a little to Karina's request to train Shun and Taichi.

　The next day, after finishing his university classes, he goes to the Grimm's mansion. I press the button on the entrance chime at the gate of the mansion. Then, I feel something running toward me, and it stops in front of the gate.

It's me. Open."

　Alisa, realizing that it was a cat-shaped shadow puppet for security, shouted. The next moment, the gate opened. Inside the gate was a Bengal.

　Inside the gate was a button that opened and closed the gate, and Bengal pressed that button. The way Bengal determined that the visitor was Alisa was by voice.

　The sorcery ears used by Bengals as ears are of such high performance that they can be used for voiceprint identification.

Thank you."

　Alisa patted Bengal's head. At that moment, a child's voice is heard behind Alisa.

Oh, it's the big cat."

　Through the open gate, a girl and a boy saw Bengal and entered the gate. Alisa stopped Bengal as he was about to make his move.

They came in through the gate. Let them go home through the gate."

　The fact that he entered through the gate means he is not suspicious.

I'm Chisato, and this is my brother, Ibuki.

Hey, can I pet you?"

　The older sister is in first grade and the younger brother appears to be in kindergarten. They seem to be neighborhood kids. Bokuden and Mikeh also came and looked at the two children cautiously, probably because of the noise they were making near the gate.

These children are not suspicious, so don't attack them."

　Alisa instructed Bokden and the others. The Grimm who owns the ring is the master, and he has ordered us to follow the instructions of Alisa and the others as well.

　However, we will not accept instructions that would harm the Master, nor will we accept those that require us to follow the instructions of another.

　Chisato and Ibuki returned from the gate after petting the Bengals. Alisa also petted Bokuden and the others before entering the mansion. In the living room of the mansion, Grim was reading a book.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Come in. I'll have a cup of tea."

Yes."

　I ask Métis for a cup of tea and Elmore starts preparing it. Alisa sat down on the sofa and talked to me.

May I also confide to Amane and the others that Dr. Grimm is a wise man?"

　If the birth of a wise man in Japan is publicized, and if I register more and more life magic, it will be known that I am a wise man.

The "Mere Old Man" will find out. It might be a good idea to confide in Amane and the others before that happens.

I understand. I'll invite the three of them to the house and confide in them. See if you can find a date that works for them."

I understand. I am glad to hear that. Now I can be free of the heartache."

　Alisa seemed burdened by the secrecy of her best friends.

If it was such a burden, you should have suggested it earlier."

But Dr. Grimm wanted to keep it under wraps.

I guess so. But I think those three will do fine."

　I could trust those three to keep the secret.

By the way, that new magic idea you were talking about, the magic that imparts properties to metal, can that be done?"

　Hearing Arisa's suggestion, I wonder what it would be like. There was "Metal Need" magic to knead D-particles into metal, and the work of imparting characteristics to the D-particles kneaded into the metal was done by the sage system.

　So I was the only one who could create metals with characteristics, but could I do that with living magic?　The wise man system was too versatile and easy to do things like granting characteristics, but I didn't know if it was possible to create magic that would grant characteristics.

　I tried to create it by starting up a sage system to test it, but I couldn't do it. I didn't know how the granting was supposed to work.

　The wise man system has been used to create magic with built-in properties and metals with properties, but this was done automatically by the wise man system, and it is hard to imagine magic being granted without the wise man system.

It's hard to say right away, this area seems to be the domain of grant wizards."

Can't even a wise man do that?"

　I chuckle.

The wise man is not all-powerful. I guess I'll leave it until I understand what granting is."

It's a shame. But I guess you have to be a wise man to learn."

When I created the characteristics of spatial oscillation, I had a university professor give me a lecture on it.

　It is a secret that I did not understand the lecture and left it to Metis.

Now that you've reached your goal, Class A, what are you going to do now?"

　Alisa asked me.

'Yes, I suppose so. We're trying to increase the number of living magicians in terms of spreading the magic of life, and we're trying to figure out how to do that."

What about the idea of establishing a batallion, as you mentioned earlier?"

　Batallion at this time, that's interesting too. The place can be a mansion, so what kind of activities should we do? I asked Alisa if she had any ideas on what kind of batallion we could make.

For now, I want to make it a place where people can gather casually. We're going to use the empty rooms to build a library and a large cafeteria, and we're going to hire a cook to serve the meals.

　This mansion is only rented, so I have to buy it and renovate it to meet Alisa's request. As for me, I also want a place to test my magic, so I want to build a basement in part of the large yard and use it as a practice space.

　Of course, we can't build a full-fledged practice field in a residential area, but a place to practice a little magic would be possible. That would require more money than we have in savings right now.

Battalion, that's going to take millions of dollars."

Is this mansion really that expensive?"

The yard is huge. You're going to scream just for the cost of the land."

　When I was a teacher at the Academy of Magic, I would have immediately said it was impossible. But now, with the money I earn from magic license fees, book royalties, and the sale of shadow puppets, it was not impossible.

　However, if we include the cost of renovating the underground practice facility, we will not have enough funds. Some people think that it would be better not to build an underground practice facility, but it is common for batallions to have a practice facility when they establish a batavalion.

　Battalion is also a training ground for adventurers, so a training ground is necessary for new adventurers who have no money. I decided to earn my money in the Narukami dungeon.

　I considered the option of creating and selling shadow puppets, but I felt that if I did not do this, I would lose my fighting skills.
