Chapter 4 - Let’s Learn Magic (1)
Chapter 4: Let’s Learn Magic (1)
TL/ED – Enuma ID
Learning Magic was a bit different from what I had imagined.
I thought there would be things like breathing techniques or sitting cross-legged to feel mana, but first of all, knowledge was needed.
I opened the Grimoire again and sat at the desk like studying a major textbook, keeping a notebook by my side, and read De Vermis Mysteriis while steadily taking notes and memorizing as I studied.

“Ah, so this is the planetary day. Mercury’s day is Wednesday and Jupiter’s day is Thursday. It’s much more intuitive than I expected.”
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Sun.
According to medieval Magic settings, these seven planets possessed great magical power, so when using certain powerful spells, one had to borrow the attributes and power corresponding to that planet.
Also, it was not enough to simply match the date. The time of day also had to be matched.
The first hour after sunrise was when that planet’s power was strongest, and as if a cycle turned in hourly units, the power of other planets intervened. Since there were seven planets, if one missed the first hour after sunrise, then seven hours later it would again be that day’s planetary hour.
W ӗ b̀n̈ о v̂ е̃ l E n̊ u mа
Because the time of sunrise differed depending on the season, like summer and winter, one had to calculate carefully and be cautious.
…There was a lot to pay attention to.
Couldn’t I just use the Mana Circuit instead of planetary magic power?
Well, since it was said to be needed only for certain spells. Then let’s see just how impressive the spells that could be used were.

And various others.

My eyes blinked on their own.
No, I mean, if you think about it they’re impressive, but…it’s subtle.
Isn’t there something more proper and flashy?
At that moment, perhaps thinking that I was concentrating, Grizzly quietly brought his hand to the refrigerator door.
“Grrr~.”
Grizzly. That was the name I gave to the Invisible Vampire.

Because it tore people apart, a bear. Grizzly.
I did not know what he was so obsessed with, but the guy liked opening and closing the refrigerator door.
Creeeak-
“Grizzly.”
“Giii….”
At his owner’s call, Grizzly quietly closed the door again.

I reached out my hand and patted his head.
A cool, smooth, and firm texture. I had never touched a reptile, but I thought it might be similar.

“Good boy, good boy.”
“Grrrng~.”
An Invisible Vampire. A horrific and frightening fellow, but I planned to try to maintain as good a relationship as possible with him.
I did not know if it would have any effect… but still, when he was hungry, might he at least remember me as the person who gave him food rather than meat.

After patting and scratching Grizzly’s head a few more times,
I checked internet articles on my phone.
[Tragic Death of ○○ University Professor, Connection to University district Incident]
As was only natural, the incident in which a professor died in a classroom became a hot topic as it was linked to the incident where a man died in the University district.

There were victims who were killed, but there was no sign of the killer.
As I browsed the internet, I saw posts that linked this phenomenon to spontaneous combustion, claiming it was natural immolation, or that an unknown virus caused bodies to burst from the inside, or that students collectively killed the professor and coordinated their stories.
Ё ṅ ũm̃ ā
Either way, it was not good for me.
That was because I had been at both the first scene and the second scene.
This was dangerous. It was not evidence that could link me as the culprit, but since there was also no evidence at all,
they could investigate me to acquire information, in a let’s just poke and see manner.
The first could be considered simply bad luck that I got caught up in it, but from the second onward, the picture did not look good.
At least one fortunate point was that the classroom where the professor died had no CCTV, so no footage was recorded.

But if they secured the list of people who attended class that day, they would quickly find out that I had been there as well.
“……….”
…Was I thinking about things too negatively?
Maybe they might not even notice that I was at the first scene, and even if they did notice, couldn’t they just let it slide?
“Haa….”
I let out a sigh and stopped those careless thoughts.
W_e b̃n̂ о v ĕl̄ Еńu_m̀ a_
Let’s stop. Being positive was good, but being optimistic was not.
The world was not a warm existence that moved the way I wanted.

Wasn’t that something I realized starting from when I was abandoned at an orphanage by my birth mother, who gave birth to me and left me when I was five years old?
…But thinking about that day just pissed me off for no reason.
I could not even remember her face anymore.
That crazy bitch, if she was going to throw me away anyway, she should have done it earlier when I was a newborn. I missed the entire adoption season and could not even get adopted anywhere.
Ẽ ṅǔm̆ а̌
A hollow laugh formed at the corner of my mouth.
But well, I was not cute either. Thinking about my personality, even if I had been adopted, I would probably have been returned quickly.
Clinging to past events was not my taste.
Anyway, there were many problems to solve….

In fact, it was practically a mess of problems, but to organize things, there were three major things I had to do from now on.
First. Study Magic through the Grimoire. It was essential.
Е́n u m а́ .і̆d̈
Beyond simply understanding the Grimoire and controlling Grizzly well, the knowledge spells of the Grimoire could be helpful to me.
Second. Conceal my connection to the murders of that man and the professor.
Government agencies looked incompetent, but sometimes they were competent in strange areas.
This might be my speculation, but.
With a real Grimoire and a monster plainly existing, there was no way there would not be a secret government organization to manage them and maintain social order.
That organization would investigate the incident and look for me.

I had to hide the fact that I possessed the Grimoire De Vermis Mysteriis and that I was the owner of an Invisible Vampire.
They might recruit me, but no matter how I thought about it, instead of such a troublesome method, it was more certain and safer to cleanly kill one orphan guy with no power or authority and retrieve and store the Grimoire.
And lastly, the third. This was the most important.
“Gyaa?”
Grizzly tilted his head as he looked at me staring at him, then held out the bowl he used as a food dish.
“Gyaat!”
Е n̄üm̊ӑ .і́d
It was as if he was saying, “Feed me!” …No, it was not as if. He really was telling me to give him food.
“……….”

Third. I had to earn money to pay for Grizzly’s food.
It was good to know that I could take care of his meals with meat and milk sold at the butcher shop, but perhaps because of his large size, the amount he ate was no joke.
…Should I take a leave of absence from university and increase my part-time jobs for now?
At least one fortunate thing was that whether he digested everything or his body structure was different because he was a monster, he did not defecate.

It was a relief that I did not have to buy a litter box or poop bags.

[Agency for Paranormal Response Conference Room]
What it responded to was not something that needed to be written or said explicitly.

It was an organization that responded to something incomprehensible to human reason and protected social order. That was the Agency for Paranormal Response.
The beginning of this incident.
W̊еbṅo v̇е̌ l E n um̄а_
Through a presentation in the conference room, footage was shown of a man being brutally murdered on a university street.
The scene of him being killed, with his arms torn off and his organs scattered, could be seen, but the killer could not be seen.
“…What kind of Crazy bastard committed something like this?”
Up until now, bizarre incidents usually occurred in abandoned buildings or places outside people’s view. However, this incident occurred brazenly in the middle of the street.
On top of that, though it was not certain whether it was the same incident, the very next day, even a professor was killed in a university classroom.
Was it something without reason? Or was it a declaration of war?

Because of this explicit murder case, the high-ranking people who supported the Agency for Paranormal Response were in an uproar.
From their position of giving orders from safe places until now, the fear that they themselves might be killed at any time by an unseen “something” had been etched into them.
“But why was that man murdered so brutally? Who was that man?”
“Since it’s some crazy bastard doing such things, maybe they just killed him out of boredom?”
“It might not even have been done by a person in the first place.”
At the murmurs of the other civil servants participating in the meeting, a woman with a neat impression who was standing at the podium.
Е ń um̈а.
Shin Si-on of the Agency for Paranormal Response continued delivering the briefing.
“We are judging that this incident may be connected to a Grimoire.”

Si-on turned the presentation screen.
On the screen, a book with a white, antique, and beautiful cover was shown.
“It is the Grimoire <The Book of Angel Raziel> that was kept by the Vatican. And now, its whereabouts are unknown. Sensing a compatible owner, it set out on its own to find one.”
“…What does that mean?”
Е ń ū ṁ а̌ . і d́
“A Grimoire is not an item that can be safely stored away. It simply stopped being active for a while because it did not have an owner it liked.”
Si-on explained in a calm voice.
“A Grimoire that possesses immense power either manipulates circumstances so that a person it judges to match its taste and compatibility can draw it out, or otherwise leaves it to chance to find a new owner.”
“For example, it might be mixed in among inherited keepsakes as an old book, or wait for an owner at an Old Bookstore, and so on.”

The government official rubbed his chin.
“…Then does that mean this incident is related to that <The Book of Angel Raziel>?”
Wе̂ b̆ n̈о_v̊ е́ĺ E ǹům.а̄
“No, that is not the case. The Magic contained in The Book of Angel Raziel are prophecies, methods of reading people’s inner thoughts and secrets, and the spells of angels.”
Si-on changed the presentation screen again to the image of the man being murdered in the middle of the street.
“The reason we judge it to be related to a Grimoire is because this incident differs from the ecology of Wizards or anomalies. Even if those beings cause incidents, they do not do so so openly on streets covered with cctv. They act more covertly.”
A calm, methodical voice approaching the case echoed through the conference room.
“Therefore, the Agency for Paranormal Response is judging that this incident may be a Rampage case of a user who happened to obtain some Grimoire or dangerous artifact.”
