Mariel is a self-proclaimed genius magic researcher.

There was one thing she could never tolerate.

It was just curiosity.

Although she calls herself that, honestly, in my opinion, she is close to a genius.

If you just look at Mariel, you can immediately understand the saying, ‘There is a difference between a genius and a crazy person.’

Her seemingly useless magical research and all her dangerous actions ultimately had a use.

Unlike ordinary wizards, they can use a variety of magic, and they can also create magic items called magic tools, which are a type of magic item that is extremely difficult to make. Moreover, if magic is involved at all, its research and application abilities are great.

And what made it all possible for her was ‘curiosity’.

Her personality of not being able to stop being curious never stopped once it started.

Finding out the magic vibration level for a magic derivative to attract the demon king’s soul greatly stimulated Mariel’s curiosity.

More than anything, it seemed that what tempted her was that it was knowledge close to the realm of God, something that ordinary humans could not understand.

She became very anxious when she heard that the goddess gave the knowledge through revelation directly only in my head as a warrior.

“Umm… Ugh… From now on, I will teach you… no… You will never understand… … but… … .”

Mariel was circling in place over and over again, like a dog with a poop, trying to figure out how to extract the knowledge that existed only in her head and apply it to magic derivatives.

“Hey… I’ve been muttering those words for the 20th time now. Now that I know I’m not smart, let’s think of a new way.”

I said while looking at Mariel.

Mariel suddenly grabbed her head.

Her two-tone hair, half pink and half white, was tangled and tangled together.

“Ugh! I don’t understand! I don’t understand! What kind of God’s joke is this!”

“Well, the goddess is actually like that.”

“Ahh! that… ! Oooooh!”

Is it okay to wait like this?

Unlike before, Mariel couldn’t even get a clue even after spending enough time on it.

『The fatal fact that knowledge was delivered only to certain people through the revelation of the goddess, but the person who received the knowledge did not have the knowledge to explain the knowledge was a question of the type that Mariel had never experienced before, outside of her common sense.

Moreover, in fact, Yunoa did not yet know the exact adjustment value of the magic derivative that would draw out the demon king’s soul.

This was because it relied solely on intuition and, strictly speaking, was not ‘knowledge’.』

At that time, the narration said something difficult to understand.

From the way it is said, it sounds like Mariel is having trouble finding a way out because it is such an unusual situation.

I was also bothered by the fact that I had not yet heard the value of the magic derivative from the narration.

『There were only two ways for Yunoa to change the value of the magic derivative.

One is for Yunoa to acquire knowledge in related fields to the point where she can adjust the values of magic derivatives.

The other is to have a person who can adjust the magic derivative adjust the values in accordance with Yunoa’s ‘intuition’.』

I already know that.

However, I never had the confidence to study until I had enough knowledge to control magic derivatives myself.

Even if it was possible, there was no telling how long it would take.

While studying how to adjust magic derivatives, the Demon King’s soul may create a new Demon King again and devastate the continent.

In that case, the only way is to ask Mariel, who is currently the only person who can control the magic derivative.

That would also be impossible if I couldn’t somehow convey the numbers I knew to Mariel.

It was a strange situation.

Only I in the world can intuitively know the magic vibration frequency that will induce the Demon King’s soul.

But to use it, you need to adjust the magic derivative.

And I don’t have the knowledge to adjust it.

It was as if I knew how to run the fastest in the world, but couldn’t get to the running stage because I didn’t know how to walk.

As Mariel said, it is an extraordinary situation.

And I myself couldn’t figure out how on earth the narration could teach me that number through ‘gut feeling’.

If the control of the magic derivative was like a computer that inputs numbers, I could somehow manipulate it without basic knowledge, but since it is not like that, I have no idea what to do.

I was lost in thought with Mariel in front of me, who was mentally broken and muttered to herself and then went crazy.

How about thinking a little differently?

Judging by the quiet narration, we haven’t gotten to that method yet.

I believed that if I got close to the correct answer, the narration would definitely tell me the answer.

And in my experience so far, when the narration doesn’t give me the answer, it means that the problem is within my ability to solve it on my own.

Let’s think.

Think about it, Yunoa.

Even though Mariel called me stone-headed, I still think about it.

A magic vibration level that can summon the devil’s soul directly injected into my head.

A medium named Mariel who can directly utilize those numbers.

A magic derivative that is expected to be able to summon the demon king’s spirit if adjusted to an appropriate value.

Let’s think briefly in the following order: acquisition of knowledge – conversion – input.

So, the problem now is that there is no way to convert the acquired knowledge into use.

When I think back on the knowledge of the world I originally lived in, not this world, I think I used something called a ‘converter’ in a similar situation.

For example, if there is a product that needs to use 110v electricity, but only 220v is available, there is a converter that converts 220v to 110v.

What if there was another medium through which Mariel could receive the knowledge that entered my head?

“Mariel, can’t you make a similar version of the magic derivative?”

I asked, looking at Mariel, who had ripped her hair so hard that it had a witch-like hairstyle.

“What does that mean? Making a replica of a magic derivative?”

“The guys who made this in the first place were creating a pseudo-demon spirit and experimenting with it. Then, if I could make an analogue of that magic derivative, adjust it using the knowledge I received through revelation, and Mariel could transfer the values of the analogue to the real magic derivative… … .”

“Umm.”

Even if I had to make an identical replica of a magic derivative that I could barely even touch, there was no way for me to adjust that replica either.

But it was Mariel who made it. Wouldn’t it be impossible if, with a little improvement, I create a similar magic derivative that has the same properties as the magic derivative, but has no actual effect and allows me to control its values without knowledge?

I feel like my brain is going to hell just talking about it, but this was the best I could think of.

“Pseudo magic power derivative makes the adjustment method simple enough that I can also adjust it. Mariel acts as a kind of converter so that the numbers engraved on it can be transferred to the real thing and adjusted.”

After hearing what I said, Mariel was deep in thought and then opened her mouth.

“In other words, do you mean to create an intermediate step so that I can utilize the revelation you received by creating a conversion derivative that can materialize your revelation? Hmm, this magic derivative is very elaborately made. In particular, I don’t think anyone can create something similar to the strange energy that can be said to be the core of this magic derivative.”

Even though the explanation was somewhat messy, Mariel understood quickly.

This is an idea that I put my brain through as much as I could, but is it too much of a stretch?

The moment I thought that, Mariel spoke.

“But it’s a similar product anyway. There is no need to reproduce all functions. If it is a device that only stores the magic vibration values to be engraved on the magic derivative… … But you have a stone head, so even if you make the adjustment method easier, would you be able to do it?”

“Aren’t you looking at me like some kind of chicken?”

Just because I didn’t understand you a few times, now you’re acting like I’m an idiot.

If I had to argue, Marie, you’re weird and I’m normal… … .

“Umm… I don’t know how to make it most familiar to you… … .”

“If I want to, can I make it with that in mind?”

“I guess I should try.”

“Then it’s horsepower.”

I spoke without any hesitation.

What I am most familiar with is horsepower.

If it felt similar to moving magical power, I was confident I could do it even if it was a bit difficult.

Mariel accepted my suggestion and immediately began creating a device that would serve as a conduit for her and my knowledge.
