Is Magic really just a wish machine?
No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics.
This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic.
But what of it?

Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician.

The nearly forty-year-old mayor, embraced by Blood Wolf, turned pale and stammered, "Raging... your subordinate... your subordinate is so overwhelmed with emotion... that I yelled out in surprise..."


"Oh? You'll get used to it." Winters pointed enthusiastically to the horses across the river. "Afraid you might not understand, let me explain to you. See that? Those are people from Terdun watering their horses."
