Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Witchcraft was a separate ability from magic and scythe, not having some particular rank, level, or tier to it.

Separate art that depended on proficiency, just like runes.

I was a good runekeeper, and I was talented in that field.

And I believed she would be as much pro in witchcraft as I was in runes.

But still, she can’t ever be that good in elven magic.

So even though these spells are less complex than some different things, casting them is easier said than done.

Thankfully, my master taught me all the stuff about magic I would need, and the magic circuits, circles, enchantments, and the fundamental Mana weaving were some of them.

Editing this one would have taken time without Asta’s assistance but, when you just have to trace some lines and words, even a child would be done in minutes.

So, finishing the editing of this one-time use circle I traced wasn’t some grand thing… not in my eyes at least.

But for those who knew the real and genial world like them, this was an achievement far more than having a weapon like Asta…

“Even if that special energy is better for things like these, Eon, I don’t know many who are this proficient in using that.

Just by seeing this much, one can tell how hard you have practiced, and how many times you tried and tried again to get this good.

It’s amazing… and you are marvelous, my child~.”

My grandmother had genuine admiration in her eyes when she said this and I can’t help but smile helplessly at those words.

I definitely trained tirelessly to learn as much ‘magic’ from my master as I could, and I knew we had limited time together, and… that was why I wanted to learn, even more, even a little bit more every single day.

It was my greed to learn new things, practice what I knew, and even perfect what I had already learned.

I had seen my master’s magic… the most beautiful, perfect, and unparalleled magic.

I do believe nothing could be perfect but, for her magic… that was something closest to perfection I might ever see in this life of mine.

Reaching even close to that point was my goal in magic, and the point I had reached right now was something a genius like Alf can achieve in a few years if he wanted, and that was even more reason I couldn’t stop at this point just yet.

I had a mountain to climb even if I have reached the top of this hill, and I knew I will reach even higher.

I had good enough talent, time, willpower, and this unreal thrust for more.

I wanted to get stronger, not just because there might be new challenges in this uncertain life of mine, but also because I wanted to reach a seemingly unrealistic place.

Summitt, pinnacle, top… wanting to reach that untold realm was a greedy thing, sure it was but, I was greedy.

I was greedy, maybe a fool to desire something unreachable.

But my master… she never once stopped me from things that were unreal at first.

She never said something was impossible.

Yes, she put many restrictions on me but… they were only till I get strong enough to overcome them.

But, well, I had a spirit summoning to do for now…

“This is done, and the magic circle will stay like this until we perform the ritual.

So… who wants the ice cream~!”

Their faces lit up as I said that and the cutest reaction was from my eagerly waiting little girl… my friend, Rein.

“So, let’s start with Rein’s grandma. Then sir Maweth. Then my lovely grandpa, grandma, and then Rein.”

There was a bright smile on my face as I said that one. And I knew she understood what it meant when I called her name very last.

But before she can protest, her grandma couldn’t help her amusement with the words I used just now.

“My lovely Rein? I see you have made good progress young ones~. So, who proposed it? When’s engagement, hmm?

Don’t even try saying you haven’t decided~.”

There was pure confidence in her words, and she wasn’t the only one like that.

All the other three were the same. Even grandpa Zhen outside the room was nodding in agreement.

They were suddenly asking something very weird, more weird that I knew they would ask already.

We know each other for no more than forty hours and… engagement?

They had this much confidence in themselves, and Rein was ready at the moment’s notice for anything… this little witch.

As soon as she heard her grandma’s words, she jerked her head towards me and… what can I do now?

Because she was right, strangely, I had planned the time for the engagement but…

“You know already, don’t you?” I asked with the same helpless smile to these old ones and I knew, the oldest one, Rein won’t understand what I was saying.

She wouldn’t understand even the reason she looked at me as soon as that thing was brought up.

But they definitely knew.

All of them were experienced ones, experienced in the matter of hearts, that is.

The reason they were after the two of us wasn’t just because ‘we’ knew we liked each other but because they understood we won’t be well while being apart from each other.

They have passed through every one of these phrases and even though I can say all these; it was still my first time feeling things like these, just like her.

I just understood, but I had no experience of anything.

And I genuinely just wanted to give time to every single thing.

Just being driven by instincts wasn’t something remotely needed in this relationship.

It would turn wrong, less beautiful, less deep, and even less colorful that way.

The youth was something we both needed to enjoy, and even if she had seen many things alone, seeing those same things with someone else, with a different perspective and other’s eyes… would be new.

Haa… well, that was us, and they knew what I meant, so I didn’t have much to say there.

‘White crack.’

The same old pure white shining light emitting crack that only I could see opened before me and I took out a single silver spoon with a green-colored spoonful of ice cream on it.

And this ice cream… just seeing this was enough for them to understand why this cute old witch of us was acting like that this whole time.
