Glory to Earth Magic Chapter 8

Glory for the Earth Magic! , By : Torimaru Karasuma / 已己巳己

I became friends with Aldi, but there was one concern.

“Hey Aldi, I want to hear a little, is a contract to a spirit rare?”

I had unintentionally made a contract with Aldi, but if it was a special magic or some kinds, I must hide Aldi’s existence.
It’s not necessary, but I don’t want to be seen strange in the eyes of other people, mother is already strongly concerned about it at this stage.

“Mm, I don’t think it’s such a rare thing? Our earth contracts are rare, but there are many other people who made contract with flame spirits and ice spirits. It’s not limited to acquired attributes, but it’s usually with those with the same inherent attributes. We spirits do not like to be contaminated by other attributes.”

I see, it also has the same conditions as no chanting.
Well, its to say not everyone gets something in the world of magic.
It’s good for me anyways because I don’t plan on using anything other than earth. For the time being, because Aldi says it fine to be seen, I decide to make a new body for Aldi.
The current Aldi is a doll with proportions of an elementary school which I made with quality.
Aldi did not seem to mind, but I wanted to make it more “new” because I had concerns with it.
Nevertheless, I have no talent to make anything original. Something like a model is need to make it.
When I came up with an idea, I try to ask Aldi.

“Hey Aldi, once you enter the clay, could you change the form of it at will?”

Once you can’t do it, you have to depend on someone else. Since you are not alone, you should cooperate.
I try to gloss over my reliance with beautiful words.

“Hmm, I think I might be able to ….. Why?”

“Well, I thought if you were going to have the same appearance forever, it should be something which Is Aldi’s favorite so you should freely choose.”

I’m satisfied with that excuse.

“….. Well if Alba says so, I think I can ….. N~!”

“Oh, wait a minute! Here’s some clay to use to transform with.”

Aldi is forcing the body to twist, I stop him in a hurry then pa.s.s stone powder clay. Ordinary clay is garbage because it’s sticky and gets dirty when you move it around.
In respect to that, stone powder clay does not get as dirty and is not sticky.

“Yeah? Okay -“

A light shoots out of Aldi’s current body then enters into the stone powder clay.
When Aldi enters the stone powder clay, ⌊Gunegune⌉, the clay starts moving a little.
I can tell Aldi is working hard from the occasional voice I hear in the middle of his work.

“Nsho ….. Eiyo.” (EN: These are the voices Aldi’s making, I think.)

The form became more and more human over time, once it was completed, it had become a small figure at around 20 cm in length.
There was a slender waist, small feet, short hair, lovely features, and a slightly bulging chest. It was somehow naked, but there was no particular feeling of disgust as it had a doll-like body.

“Ehehe, well? I tried to reproduce my favorite girl who I found from Alba when you shared your knowledge.”

Saying so, Aldi turns round and round.

“I honestly think you’re cute ….. but Aldi was a woman?”

“Well, we spirits have no genders …..  It should be fine because Alba will be more pleased if I had a figure of a girl. I’ll become a boy if Alba says to. “

“No, I thank you.”

I normally feel happy towards the girl figure because I’m not a h.o.m.os.e.xual.
I’m happy, but I can’t accept the complete nudity.
Some people would suspect my disposition if they saw this.
Since there were no doll clothes, I design a dress with an affordable fabric and put Aldi into it.

“Thank you Alba!”

Aldi is happily running around with a pitter-patter, but then suddenly stops and falls over.

“What happened?”

“Alba …… something suddenly…… my body no longer moves.”

I lift up Aldi who fell down and couldn’t get up, I felt the clay had hardened.
I thought that it would stay soft because of the magic of a spirit was in it, but apparently not.

“Can’t move!”

Aldi who is unpleasantly stuck desperately tries to move.

“Oh, Hey! Moving is useless ….. Ah!”

Violent Aldi did not listen to what I said to calm her down, still trying to forcibly move, an arm suddenly broke off with the sound of ⌊Baki⌉.

“Does it not hurt Aldi!?”

I sit Aldi down on the table and make a new arm from other stone powder clay then attached it.

“It’s okay because this body is only a container. Why is it that the body didn’t move no matter what?”

“That clay becomes hard when exposed to air. Can the joint parts not become soft with Aldi’s magic?”

“It’s not possible for the entire body ….. For just a few parts I can, but it’s still slightly difficult”

It will take a little time and effort ….. but if had spherical joints like that of an antique doll…..
Spherical joints are where joints are literally spheres.
Making it is troublesome because it requires a ton of time to do fine adjustments, but I won’t regret it if it’s for Aldi.
I decide for Aldi to make do with the doll from a little while ago for now.
Since the direction of the new body is thanks to Aldi, I only had to make the prototype spherical joints.
I had to join every joint together, Aldi says if there’s any part hard to move then I make fine adjustments to it so it could move.
Suddenly I was worried about the hair, so I asked father if there is a wig that could be made with the same material as antique dolls.
The official name was not know, but it was possible because there was a guy familiar with antique dolls.
When I was asked the reason why, I replied that it was my childly desires, my doting father did not suspect anything and immediately approved it.
I tell father the details, then I advance the work on the main body because the problem with the hair had disappeared.
After one week it was finished, during that time I went to cla.s.ses, ate meals, and played with Aldi. Since the wig I asked father to order was completed, I just attached it to the doll.
The wig was the same color as father’s and mine. This is red because when I asked Aldi what kind of color was good, I heard it was better if it was the same as mine.
Once I dressed, attached the wig, and painted onto it, I found something comparable to a modern figure.

“Try to enter it Aldi.”

To my words, Aldi nods and goes into the new body then moves the body lightly.

“Move! I can move! Alba’s warm magic inside my body moving feels amazing!”

Aldi spitting out words that could be easily misunderstood is happily hugging her clothes.
I remember once upon a time in a Eroge, there was a popular girl with a certain smile that had a figure, but this was rude to Aldi so I remove those thoughts immediately from my head.

“I’m so happy about this more than anything.”

I made a natural smile at Aldi who was pleased and stroked her head with my index finger.
There was a feeling of looking at a my own daughter even though I was a child, this was because of my true mental age.

“Since I shared my knowledge ….. do you know my true age?”

I did not especially notice this until now, so I asked worrisome.

“That Alba looks small but is an adult? I knew it because Alba shared knowledge with me when we made the contract. Earth? For me I don’t really care because Alba is Alba “

I smile when Aldi says that while nestling her cheek in my hand.
While wondering if the expression changed because the part of the clay that made the mouth was not soft, I decided the mouth did move without thinking to deeply.
I do not know that I do not know. It can’t be helped because there’s not enough information.
If there is no inconvenience in particular, there no problem.

“Thought it’s good for you to know, can you keep it a secret from other people?”

“Why?”

“It’s difficult to explain it right now, so  keep it a secret”

“If Alba says so! I won’t say it no matter what!”

I stick my chest out and said Ahem then Aldi hits her chest with a ⌊Donto⌉.
That day, we played and laughed together, Aldi also beat me at human behavior.

(AN: I changed the description of clothes for Aldi.)

All the chapters I’m translating are revised so maybe this is one of the revisions.
