The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 5.3

Ginjiro drew an image of the status screen and explained. Since he can’t read or write the characters of this world, he used Japanese.

“This reads as ‘Ginjiro,’ right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Is ‘Ginjiro’ a rare name here?”

“I’ve never heard it before. The pronunciation is also difficult.”

“Then, maybe I should decide on a name for here.”

“Can you change your name so easily?”

“It’s like a nickname. It’s troublesome to explain a name that others can’t pronounce easily.”

“You summoned me, but is it okay to think so easily? You must have left behind family and such.”

“Oh, right… Even though it’s me, suddenly disappearing from my room might have my family worried. They might be making a big fuss thinking I ran away or went missing…”

Ginjiro turned pale at the thought.

“This is probably a hypothetical discussion…”

Misty brought up something.

“What? Can’t you return if you want to?”

“No, I think your original body is still in that world.”

“Huh?”

“Physically crossing between worlds is impossible.”

“What do you mean?”

“Likely, you weren’t physically brought here; it’s more like a copy.”

“So, my original self is still in the original world?”

“We can’t confirm, so ‘likely’ is the best I can say.”

The summoning was at the king’s command; Misty devised the magic circle and poured in vast magic crystals. However, Misty was against summoning people from other worlds. Even if the summoning was successful, she wondered how the person summoned without consent would feel. So, she carefully considered summoning something other than the actual person. That’s what she had thought out.

“Did Misty think of that magic circle alone?”

“Yeah. I’m the highest court mage.”

“Wow, you’re a genius.”

Although Misty has the highest magical value in the country and is the leading researcher in magic and monsters, she’s accustomed to being treated as eccentric, so she wasn’t used to being praised.

“Oh, that’s obvious.”

“Well then, could you teach me various things? Magic seems infinite. I’m really interested in what it can do.”

“I-I see. Y-you want me to teach you?”

“Yeah yeah, can you also make magical tools?”

“I can say that I’m the one who made the magical tools in this country.”

Misty grinned modestly.

“Wow, then, tell me about various magical tools. Also, can you try making things from my world here?”

“And your world’s items?”

“Yeah, in templates, tools from my world are more convenient. I want to confirm that, so show me.”

Ginjiro was told that there would be no effect on the original world, so he focused his consciousness entirely on this world. It’s as if he’s been waiting for it to happen.

Afterward, taking away the true of Shinada, Ginjiro changed his name to Mergin and said, “If you don’t like it, you can’t try it?”
