Chapter 4 : Abilities are average
What cause that ridiculous amount
of water?
Adele thought while lying on the
bed.
From the description of magic
that I heard from God and thinking about this world’s [common sense of this
world], what reason can be expected?
One, my own magic power… my actual Vicious Mind wave’s radiation
intensity and durability is large…
… However, my magic power is
supposed to be [average]
Two, my visualization is very
strong, magic is efficiently expressed.
… There is a possibility. Due to
modern knowledge’s influence.
However, is it efficient only for
that power? A little hard to think1.
Three, other factors.
That time, did anything change?
In addition to spell casting.
Ah.
Nanomachines, yoroshiku
Indeed, I mutter it in my heart.
Could it be, nanomachines respond
to that?
That is foolish… , no, nanomachines
are that self proclaimed God like being’s creation, the performance could not
be compared to those that has been studied on Earth’s medical field. For
example, it wouldn’t b e strange if each one of it have artificial intelligence
abilities. To embody the received people’s Vicious Mind wave, it would not be
possible with just a single-function machine.
Usually, Vicious Mind wave do not
have a sequence to execute the spell, the nanomachines themselves decided the
execution by their own, probably, when you said the spell name.
… There is a possibility.
However, there is no time to
confirm it.
There is danger of runaway magic
if I was to try out magic in a place like this and it is unnatural for someone
to rent a training field before the school admission. And then, suddenly an
idea came.
“Ah, I wish to hear the
nanomachines directly….”
“If you have any question, I will
answer2”
“Gyaaaaaa!”
Surprised by the sudden voice
that whispered at her ear, Adele jump and her head hit the wall.
Guu, Adele crouch on the bed and
clutch her head.
“If you have any question, I will
answer”
The mysterious voice pursues!
However, it is the only one that
will repeat its sentence in this situation.
Adele realizes it, and fearfully
replies.
“Nanomachine…. san?”
“Yes, the Creator has referred me
as such”
Back at Earth, it only takes
several decades for computer to go from the size as big as building to palmtop
size. And nanomachines are already being developed.
In that consideration, the
nanomachines created by that God-like being that exist earlier than human
being, how good is the performance, I can’t imagine.
However, answering human is
relatively simple, that much Adele understands. I wonder if they’re just
replying based on the programmed words3, I don’t know if they’re
granted with real personality.
While she is surprised, she knows
that this is a great chance to know, Adele brace herself and ask.
“I want to know the reason why my
magic power reached an unbelievable level.”
“Please wait for a little while…”
The nanomachines tell her the
answer in just a few seconds.
“According to data queries
result, in you previous magic exercise, order of the instruction has been
clearly instructed to the nanomachines, thus the efficiency had been higher
than usual.”
As I thought, Adele is relieved to
found the cause.
“So, how much is the effect is amplified?”
“Approximately 3.27 times”
“Huh…”
Compare to that phenomenon, the
magnification is too small.
“Th, then, compare to the average
10-years old, why is it unusually powerful?”
“It is simply because your Vicious
Mind wave output is powerful and the phenomenon’s image is clear and concrete.
Especially the Vicious Mind wave output, it is half of the strongest output in
this world that belongs to ancient dragon species.”
Huh, Adele can’t believe her own
ears.
“Whose, what is, half of what?”
“Yours, Vicious Mind wave output, ancient dragon species, about half.”
The nanomachines purposely
separated its answer.
“Co, compare to human being?”
“Compare to average human being’s
magical power, it is about 6 thousands 8 hundred times.”
Patari. (Sound effect of someone
falling flat)
Adele lies down flat on the bed.
After a while, Adele finally
resurrected and asks various questions to nanomachines.
Because she wants to learn magic
normally, she didn’t hear a lot of information from God, but this has become
different story. Since threading this poorly will lead to a catastrophe, she
must listen properly to grasp the situation.
“… to sum it up, what human being
called magic power is the Vicious Mind wave’s radiation strength, it’s
retention and overall clarity. If you compare it to voice it is something like,
the volume, durability to hoarse4 and voice clarity. The clarity of
visualization, rather than the strength of magic, it is the classification of
the technique used. Technique is not innate, it is something cultivated with
training.
So, the whole reason why I’m
ahead… Visualization clarity can be satisfied with modern knowledge, then what
about the others (radiation strength & durability)… Ah!”
Unfortunately she knows.
What the nanomachines said.
“The Vicious Mind wave output, it
is half of the strongest output in this world that belongs to ancient dragon
species”
… That is in short, in this world
I’m approximately in the middle of zero magic person and maximum magic person.
Average of the minimum and
maximum value.
Gan Gan Gan! (Hitting sound
effect)
Adele struck her head onto the
wall.
“Wrong! That is wrong! That is
not the definition of average!! I, I, want
to live as an average girllllllll!!”
Once again, it is not even the
median.
Whether because calculating the
average value of everything is troublesome, or because human cannot imagine the
vast number that is the God’s [average].
Or maybe because God is concerned
about Misato’s safety and [purposely did it] as a service …
After a while, Adele calms down
and continues to gather information.
“Until now, did anyone else ask
question to nanomachine-san?”
“First of all, because most
people did not know about our existence, there are not many that talk directly
to us. In addition, even if someone did,
we are not allowed to answer to those whose authority is less than level 3.”
“What is authority?”
“The authority to use us.
Including human, usually initial level of an organism is set to level 1, ancient
dragon is level 2, sometimes level 3. In the past, there are human who has reached
level 3, but it is very rare.
Although that person has reach
level 3 just before dying of old age, apparently that person thought that our
words comes from the spirit of magic and it seems like everyone who have heard
of the story has pass away.
In order to reach someone’s brain(mind), our appearance is created by sending signals directly the retina, voice is conveyed by directly vibrating the eardrums…”
“Err, then, that means…”
“Yes, other than optical
hallucination, it seems like we are thought as auditory hallucination as well.
Right now you look like a weird person who is talking alone.”
“Hiiii!”
“It’s alright. Both rooms on the
side are empty.” (The room on the left and right of Adele’s room)
The nanomachines told Adele who is
looking at the left and right wall hurriedly.
“If you wish, we can also be
heard by other by vibrating the air, and by refracting the light, it is also
possible to project a provisional appearance…”
“No, right now, n-no….”
I’m just an average girl that has
no business with spirit-san
This time I’m going to learn a
lot, then as long as nothing drastic happen, I’m not going to summon the
nanomachines.
Adele is thinking like that.
“Ah, come to think about it, the
fact that you answer my question, am I level 3?”
“The esteemed Creator-sama have
the highest authority level, which is level 10, your level is 5.”
Yes yes, the middle of 0 and 10 is average. I thought so.
“So, what are the classified information
(prohibited matters) for my level?”
“Magic invocation limit(ban) is
applied on unlimited growth to bacteria and viruses, nuclear fission and
nuclear fusion, radiation, and other things that will affect our existence.”
“Oh, that kind of things… It is
obvious isn’t it.”
Adele continues the question for
a while, and then there is a big harvest.
Item box. When ask whether there
is a dimensional storage magic that capable of keeping stored item against
deterioration as time elapsed, answer that there, in the numerous dimensions, are
a number of different world dimension in which space-time continuum has been
crushed, thus there is no concept of time itself. If you place things onto a
hole that leads to those dimensions, it can substitute for an item box, so it
said. Because it is a different dimension, there is no need to spend energy to
maintain it. Nanomachines will take care of the storing and retrieving process.
Magicians of certain level is
capable of using [storage], inside of that, time elapsed and capacity is also
limited, though it seems to be useful, I’m thankful that my pseudo item box can
be used in public by pretending to be [storage]. Of course not only the pseudo
item box, I also intend to use [storage] along with it.
Including the trick to use magic
output on par with normal people, Adele have finish listening to nanomachines
and thanked it.
“Thank you very much. Seems like
I can somehow go on as an average girl.”
“Average… girl is it?”
What a thing to say by the nanomachines,
Adele inflated her cheek.
“I’m an average girl, let’s live
normally, place hand in ordinary happiness!”
“…. I wish you good luck”
Adele that has finish the
conversation with nanomachines, suddenly notice something and get anxious.
Until now, there is nothing that felt particularly
abnormal, somehow suddenly anxiety have welled up.
Although it is a good coin, its
verdict is unfortunate.
Even though she was looking for other hard
object, she could only see the metal handle of the closet. Reluctantly she firmly
collects the coin with her finger, then put force and…
Kunyari (Snapping sound effect)
Yeah, I wonder if the force is
also half of the ancient dragon?
Goddamnit!
1しかし、効率だけであの威力か?少し考えづらい. (Shikashi, kōritsu dake de ano iryoku ka?
Sukoshi kangae dzurai.) Not sure about
this one.
2 The nanomachines are
speaking in a very formal manner… actually every line that nanomachine said is
very formal
3 Like NPC
4 How long can you
shout till you’re hoarse
I have a good laugh at this chapter xD
As I said on chapter 1, this is the last chapter that I'll translate.
I apologize for grammatical mistake and mistranslation and even though it is short, I hope you guys enjoy this :).
= w=)/~
Great News!
Kryisme is picking this up, you guys can read the next chapter here
Thanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeletethanks for your hard work!
ReplyDelete...do you really plan to stop this series now? that sucks...
but for translating some teasers, i thank you. i hope there will be someone willing to translate this.
haha~ XD! This is really amusing~!
ReplyDeleteWhew~! This kinda light up my day, lol.
Anyway, hmm.... I wonder if the old dragon is the strongest of all attributes? haha~ xD!
--- Thanks for the chapter~ ^^.
Thank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteold dragon sounds kinda lame. In other fantasy the strongest dragons are often called "Ancient Dragon" or "Elder Dragon".
ReplyDeletehmmm [old dragon] in my image is the majestic type thus I write it so... but I supposed [ancient dragon] is more common in games... change it, thx :)
Deletedunno why shes upset nothing ever goes wrong with having more power than you need, Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it lol. she can learn to control and hide her strength if she really wants after that its just an issue of willpower not to jump in and help people if you dont want to be exposed.
ReplyDeleteIt's because being special in her past life just made her miserable.
DeleteJoseph's point is that being special is not what made her miserable, it was other people thinking she was special that caused her suffering. With her experience she can ensure nobody learns of her abilities, thus preventing a repeat of her first life.
Deletealso i really hope that you pick this up rather than it being a teaser, really like how it is so far. :(
ReplyDeleteShe must ask the nano-machines what is the normal performance of a 10 year old girl in the admission test before is too late

ReplyDeletewonderfull story, thx for letting us know about this average girl...
ReplyDeleteit would be too bad...if you decided to stop translating....
Since this is the last chapter you'll translate, you wouldn't mind if I picked it up?
ReplyDeleteby all means :D :D :D :D \ ( ^ O ^) /
Deletethat is the whole reason I make these teasers xD (so someone would pick it up) (~ ^.^)~ ~(^.^ ~)
DeleteSooo, what about her lifespan?
ReplyDeletethanks!
ReplyDeletei've read to the latest chapter with google translate, so i know this is going to be good! -hopes someone will pick this up-
well, ouch! hitting the wall that way! poor adele!
6-6800 times---?! what---!?
-pats adele on the back pityingly-
well, better to have power than not, in my opinion!
pfft!that definition of average!
adele should have been specific and said 'average for humans'! lolol!
half of a dragon species! -falls over laughing-
heh---authority level three, huh---cool!
but higher than a dragon! not average at all---!
though that's probably because of the memories she has.
wait! the authority is also average---!? what is that!
-slaps knee laughing-half of the physical strength/ability of a dragon---!?wah!
oh lol, i was about to follow this site, then i heard that was the last one his doing...bye then lol
ReplyDeleteBuahahaha that was priceless :D so amusing and funny!!
ReplyDeletethx for the chapter :D and i hope she can become average IoI
Her magic power is average between humans and dragons, but authority average between humans and gods.
ReplyDeleteIt means dragons have more magic power (imagination) than gods
her fault for not being specific lol
ReplyDeleteIf you have the opportunity to be powerful with little to no cost and you reject it, it is one of the most selfish things you can do. Every person from then on who you can't save because you are too weak, is on your head.
ReplyDeleteLike it
