Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 7.3

“Yeah, see you.”

Umino walked back to the eastern part of the castle with a spring in her step.

Even in Japan, she was full of vitality, and it seems that hasn’t changed in this world.

I returned to the dormitory for miscellaneous workers and lay on my bed to organize my thoughts.

If we want to take revenge on the First Princess who summoned us, it would mean placing her brother, the First Prince, on the throne instead of the Second Prince.

However, we know almost nothing about the current power balance and political situation.

If a civil war breaks out, we have no idea about the strength of the forces involved.

Indeed, this is no time for revenge.

I should follow Umino’s example and try to get closer to the Second Queen’s faction to gather information.

But I have no idea how to approach them.

The only connections I have are Ekkels from the decoration department and the head chef.

So, I might just have to frequently visit the decoration department’s office and put more effort into cleaning the kitchen.

“Isn’t there a good way? And what should I do with these rock walnuts?”

I have no idea how to crack these hard-looking walnuts.

Unless I hit them hard with a big hammer, they don’t seem breakable, and I might hurt myself trying.

“Maybe I could shave them down slowly with a carving knife? Or use a thin file? If I had a nutcracker… hahaha…”

I imagined a giant nutcracker robot and ended up laughing by myself.

I guess I was in a weird mood after the night shift.

“Ah, my stomach hurts… If I apply sharp force along this line, will it break? What if I shift the right and left sides of this line by one millimeter… will it break?”

As soon as I jokingly activated the teleportation magic, the rock walnut I had in my palm split cleanly in half, fell to the floor, and made a dry clattering sound.

“What the…?”

Until now, when using teleportation magic, I had always created a boundary at the edges of objects. Like between the kitchen wall and grease stains, a portrait and soot stains, or a wedding dress and a stain.

But this time, I had forcibly created a boundary in the middle of the rock walnut, splitting it into right and left sides with the teleportation magic. Picking up the rock walnut from the floor, I saw that the cross-section was smooth, as if cut by a sharp blade.

I had mentioned cutting along the line on the walnut shell, but in reality, it was cut straight through, unrelated to the line. A roasted smell wafted from the split rock walnut, but I had something to verify before eating it.

I picked up one of the two remaining unsplit rock walnuts.

“Teleport…”

When I activated the teleportation magic, the rock walnut in my palm made a small clattering sound. This time, I set the boundary to split the walnut into top and bottom halves before activating the magic.

Just like before, the teleportation magic activated, and the top half of the walnut rose one millimeter before falling. When I pinched it with my fingers, it easily split into top and bottom halves.

Looking at my thumb’s nail, I imagined it becoming slightly shorter and activated the teleportation magic. As expected, my nail was cut to the desired length and fell off.

“This is… way too dangerous.”

I haven’t tested it yet, but I could probably teleport much larger objects. My magical power must have increased significantly due to excessive use of teleportation magic since being reassigned to miscellaneous tasks.

“Could this… slice through a person?”

Forcibly creating a boundary could clean paintings, remove stains from dresses, or even clean walls more easily. Just thinking about it, I could set a boundary and instantly cut through objects.

“What should I do… return to a combat role? No… that would only benefit the First Queen’s faction…”

Suddenly, I had acquired an incredible power, but I couldn’t decide how to use it.
