Chapter 3 - 7 My Home My Life Space Magic Lv 3

In an effort to make up to Wendy and Shiro, I asked Wendy and Shiro to help me clean up the mess that a man living alone would find most troublesome. I decided to lock myself in the alchemy room by myself.
As usual, I finish making five vibrators and store them in the magic space.
Then,

『 Space magic skill level has been up to 3』

Ohh.
So, it's finally level 3.
Hopefully it's some kind of quick transportation magic.

【 Space magic Lv 3 – Invisible Jail. Blocks the specified space in a cube. Size is adjustable. If not specified, the space is solidified around itself】

Hmmm...?
Space solidification?
And Invisible Jail is a pretty dangerous name.
Let's just activate it for now.

......
Hmm?
Any changes?

“Lord!　I'm done washing up” (Shiro)

The door opens with a bang and Shiro jumps in to me.

“Fugya...” (Shiro)
“Hey Shiro. I told you to knock ... what are you doing?” (Itsuki)
“Hey, Shiro. Are you okay?” (Wendy)

I thought she was going to jump on me as usual, but about a meter in front of me, Shiro bumped into something and stopped.

“Ouch.......... I bumped into it” (Shiro)
“Oh, sorry.” (Itsuki)

So, that's what it means to be an invisible prison.
It's like solidifying a space and building a wall.
If it's not designated, it's going to be around me, and if it's designated, it's going to be around there.
I'm the one who gets in unless I specify "prison"........

“Hmmm. I can't reach Lord. Why?” (Shiro)
“Shiro.... you're floating...?” (Itsuki)

Shiro climbs up the invisible wall and floats about 50 cm above me.
Seriously. It's also able to be used as a foothold.
Speaking of convenient.

“Sorry. I've been testing it out because I learned a new skill. I'm deactivating it now” (Itsuki)
“A new skill?” (Shiro)
“Yeah. Well, that's because space magic is now level 3” (Itsuki)

I release it as I say that, and Shiro falls into my arms.
I held her in a princess hug and slowly lowered her down, and she climbed onto my lap again.
Well, since we're here, let's give it a try.

“Wendy, stay where you are for a moment” (Itsuki)
“Huh?　Yes.” (Wendy)

I activate the Invisible Jail, including Shiro.

“Okay. It looks like Shiro is going to be fine being here” (Itsuki)
“Hmm?　I'm feeling a bit unsettled” (Wendy)
“Um, is it activated?” (Shiro)
“Yeah. It's already activated” (Itsuki)

Okay. It doesn't matter for me to be inside, next thing is....

“Wendy, come over here and Shiro, I want you to go to where Wendy is” (Itsuki)
“Hmm?　All right” (Shiro)
“Yes. I understand” (Wendy)

Shiro goes to where Wendy was originally, and Wendy approaches us fearfully with her hands out in front of her.

“Oh, there really is something here” (Wendy)
“Lord, I reached it. But I can't go back” (Shiro)

I guess it is possible to go from the inside to the outside.

“Shiro. Here come” (Wendy)
“Hmm” (Shiro)

I throw an empty magic stone that was nearby at Shiro.
Then it slips through and Shiro catches it beautifully.

“Whoa. So, I guess anything is free to go from inside to outside” (Itsuki)

Which is a prison, that one can go out from the inside to the outside, be it an object or a living thing, but not from the outside to the inside.......

“The rest is durability. If it was infinite, it would be too much of a cheat... Shiro. Try attacking an invisible wall” (Itsuki)
“Yes” (Shiro)

Shiro takes a large knife from her waist and slashes the Invisible Jail.
Then I felt like the walls were less durable in terms of experiencing it.

“Shiro. One more time” (Itsuki)
“Hmm” (Shiro)

I knew it.
I can't see it as a number, but if I take two more blows, I can see the wall breaking down.
“Two more times, please” (Itsuki)
“I understand” (Shiro)

I could tell that the wall had broken without a sound as Shiro unleashed two consecutive blows.

“Is it broken?” (Shiro)
“Yeah” (Itsuki)
“Okay, then!” (Shiro)

I immediately try to activate it again.
I wanted to know if there was a time lag before the restart, but I was able to trigger it.
Naturally, Shiro hits a new wall as she dives in.

“Lord, that's terrible...” (Shiro)
“Yeah, sorry about that. I could use it in case of an emergency, and I figured I'd try what I could while I still could...” (Itsuki)

I'll release it right away and pick you up and pet you so get your mood back up.

“Master. I don't know about me space magic, but can it be prevented from magic?” (Wendy)
“Yeah, well, let's try that too” (Itsuki
“Then, if you'll excuse me” (Wendy)

I'll also activate Invisible Jail and wait for Wendy's magic along with Shiro.

“Here come, 『 Aqua Shot』” (Wendy)

Multiple water bullets formed around Wendy, and they were coming towards me and Shiro, but they were prevented from hitting the Invisible Jail.
Apparently, magic can be used to prevent as well as physical attacks, but its durability decreases as well.

“Huh. It's like defensive magic with a limited number of times?” (Itsuki)
“Huh.... It seems so. I'm glad the magic was prevented and didn't hit Master” (Wendy)

This is nice.
It's a world where you never know what's going to happen, and it's reassuring to know that I have the skills to protect myself in the event of an emergency.

As if to say, the capacity of the magic space had been increased.
The number has increased from 0-9 to 0-19.
Well, this is not the case, I haven't used all 10 slots so far, but it would be nice to have some room to spare.

“It wasn't a teleportation skill, though. This would prevent Shiro from assaulting me” (Itsuki)
“No. Don't prevent it” (Shiro)

Shiro is flailing around on my lap, but I don't mind as long as she doesn't jump into my lap.
That was a pretty painful......
The knife in her lower back is still stiff and hurts terribly........

The rest is a matter of MP consumption....

“It looks like the MP consumption depends on the size. And it doesn't look like I have to worry about losing too much MP if I put out multiple of them” (Itsuki)
“convenient” (Shiro)
“Right. Ahhhhhh... well, now that we're here, let's play a game that includes a skill experiment” (Itsuki)
“Game?　What are we supposed to do?” (Shiro)
“Step out of the room once. I'll tell you when I'm ready, and then you can come back in” (Itsuki)
“What should I do?” (Wendy)
“Let's give it a shot, Wendy, too, since we're in the middle of it. I'm going to have a race with Shiro to see who can get to me first and win” (Itsuki)
“Shiro will win....” (Shiro)
“I think you're going to lose in physical power....” (Itsuki)
“Well, I think it's going to be okay” (Wendy)

I asked the two of them to leave the room first and make preparations.
Well, to be frank, it's a maze of invisible walls.
The room is so small that it forms a thin, thin, invisible jail, but this it that thing.
It's much more MP efficient to create a thin, thin, invisible jail.
I predicted that perhaps the size of the internal space would determine the amount of MP consumption.
This one could be served as a thin single wall of space inside, which would save a lot of MP.
If it's a multi-directional attack, I just need to surround it normally.
Damn. This skill could come in handy.
For the moment, I'll make dead ends and branches, and the maze will be completed.

“Both of you, it is good. Whoever gets to me first wins.” (Itsuki)
“Tou! Fugya” (Shiro)
“No, Shiro, I said I was testing my skills, so I can't just let you go straight” (Itsuki)
“The wall is ... open. I don't know where it is, but....” (Wendy)
“No destroying it, of course. Other than that, it's just that anything goes” (Itsuki)
“Muu. Lord is mean” (Shiro)
“No, if you break it, there would be no point in playing the game” (Itsuki)

And since I made it, I hope you'll do your best to clear it up.
But they're both going on fearfully, and from my point of view, where I know the correct route, Wendy would have a slight advantage.
I guess she will get to me without hesitation.

“Hmm... with this, I guess I win!” (Wendy)

After all, it was Wendy who got there first at the same rate.

“Muu...” (Shiro)
“Shiro was going back and forth in the same place” (Itsuki)
“If just tracing a scent I could reach it, but...” (Shiro)
“Ufufufu. Well, I'll take the master's lap as the winner!” (Wendy)
“What, wait” (Itsuki)

Zugagaga!!

“That simply unacceptable” (Shiro)

Shi, Shiro-san?　Were you breaking through the walls here at a terrific pace?
I wonder if this skill is going to fine.
I wonder if it can be used properly as a defensive skill!?
And put that knife away because it's dangerous.
