The next morning.
I used my savings to buy 100 magic stones and some trading goods such as shrink boxes.
When I put it in my magic bag, the entire amount that would fill up my room fit entirely inside.
As soon as I finished my purchases, I headed to the magic laboratory.
Waiting in front of the warp room was the same researcher from the other day.
"Hello, you again. Looks like you're going to Earth again. You never learn."
The woman in white coat apparently already prepared the warp room for me.
Same as before, she hands me a wrist-type device for the return warp.
"I think this time it will take a little longer, so it may be next month when I return"
"Really? You' re adventurous, but be cautious with your life. Before you know it, you might find yourself at a barbaric Earthling dinner"
"Haha, thank you for your concern"
I don't think that's possible. Unless I fall in a really weird place…yup.
After a brief chat with the researcher, I entered the warp room.
Then I warped towards the earth again.
I arrived at the exact same place as last time.
It's the garden of someone who has a gun.
This time I was sure I had prepared a detailed map and aimed to go straight to the White House, but how could this happen?
It would be the problems with interstellar warp, though.
Also I think that researcher is little clumsy.
However, I don't think that the Maldea headquarters will lend me better equipment than what I got right now.
I guess I'm supposed to use this defective product to interact with earth.
"Oh well. If it's the same place, I' just have to do the same way."
With my bag on my back, I began to walk. First, the school is the landmark.
As I walked along the road, I saw a large building and a large football field.
I can see the students playing football, just like before.
The only difference is that I don't see any wheelchair.
While I was watching the scenery for a moment, a boy came running towards me.
"Hey, you!"
His face is covered with a helmet, but if I look closely, I can see that he looks familiar.
"Oh, hello"
I waved at him and he took off his helmet. He is the boy from that time.
"You're alien! I saw you on TV. You were at the President's press conference. You use magic. I knew it. You used magic to heal my leg!"
He is the wheelchair boy from the other day who shouted out in excitement.
It looks like he's already walking around on the ground with a healthy foot.
"I see. You have recovered. I'm glad"
"Yeah. I could go back to the club. No more problems. Thank you so much!"
"Yes, you're welcome."
As we were talking, other club students came over to see what was going on.
"I want to thank you. Is there anything I can do to repay you?"
The boy asks me with a smile on his face. But if I stay here, I'll attract more attention.
"I'm sorry. People are starting to gather, and I have to go"
I waved and ran away down the road.
Then I went to the same police office as before.
I peek inside and say, "Hello"
"Oh, Lina. Did you come here again?"
"I'm sorry. I made a mistake again. I need to get to Washington D.C., please."
"Wait a minute. Chief! It's Lina!The Maldea Goodwill Ambassador is here!"
"What!"
When the chief saw me, he started contacting somewhere else in the same way again.
"I saw the video of the press conference online. It was amazing. You could greet the president as an equal and magically float up into the sky!"
"Haha, that's embarrassing"
Casey was excited and talked about how impressed she was when she saw the magic.
As I waited and talked with her, the big rugged car arrived much earlier than last time.
「Let's GO!!」
"Yes sir!"
The soldiers were very cautious and escorted me to the car.
It's tough being around these people.
I was sent to the center of the country, protected by the soldiers.
When I arrived at the White House, I immediately greeted the President.
"Hello, looks like you're coming again"
He's always smiling in front of me. I guess that's the kind of work he does.
However, the president is still busy. After talking for about ten minutes, he immediately went away.
My opponent for the main conversation is a proud American diplomat.
He is a middle-aged man with round glasses called Randel Skaar.
When I entered the conference room, I immediately had a discussion with him.
Beside me, I have magic stones that I brought in.
"Miss Marderita. I see that you have brought more magical items than last time, and I thank you for that. Now, I'd like to discuss the trade specifically…"
Mr. Skaar quickly tries to get to the point.
"Yes, that's what I intend to do. But first, there is something I need to explain to you about how to use the magic stone."
"How to use? Isn't it just a matter of thinking to use?"
Mr. Skaar gleams behind his glasses at my disingenuous phrasing.
"Yes. Earlier, I explained that a single magic stone can be used to create a small miracle. But it doesn't have any significant result. This is especially true if you don't have magical powers. At best, you can produce water, start a fire, or float in the air for a bit. I think that's about all you could accomplish. So this time, I will tell you how to use multiple magic stones at the same time"
"Multiple magic stones …?"
"Yes. I think the amount I gave you last time were too small to allow for such a trial"
"Well. That's for sure. It's too precious to even consume. At the moment, we send the magic stones to the laboratory"
Mr. Skar looks grimacing as he said it
Well, I'm sure you do.
The earth side will also analyze the magic stones and magic power itself to see if they can somehow create their own.
It's just that you can't make a magic stone with different materials, and it would be impossible for earthlings to recreate the magic power.
Anyway, I decided to start explaining.
"A magic stone is a crystal of magical power. Magic power is the power to make wishes come true"
"Wish-fulfillment, huh?"
"Yes. It's easy to understand if you think of it like a resource. One magic stone can't do much, but when two or three are combined, their power increases. For example. I mean, excuse me, but mister. Do you think it would be better if you had some hair?"
I asked the man with the slippery peak on his head.
The man then nodded, though his face was red.
"Yes, it's better to have it. Whether you want to cut it or grow it out, you can choose freely only if you have hair"
He has a serious look on his face when he said it.
I guess he wants to have hair, after all.
"I see. Then excuse me for a moment."
I took three magic stones and pointed them at his head.
"Grow"
At my words, his head begins to glow.
Then, We saw a lot of short hairs growing out of his cold scalp.
"Oh, oh?"
"Hey, there' s a hair on your head!"
"It's true, I can feel the hair on my head …!"
The man muttered in admiration as he looked at his reflection in the window pane.
"And so it goes. When you put the magic stones together, you can make a little special wish come true. Still, it's not that big of an improvement. but if you combine five or ten of them, you'll get a little more power."
"…. Amazing. The power of the magic stone is more than we thought"
Mr. Skaar eyes widened.
But this is not the kind of potential that magic stones have.
"Yes. The power of magic, the power of wishes, is great. We Maldaeans have used it to bring the world under proper control."
"A controlled world?"
"Yes. Let me ask you something, is there such a thing as a disaster on Earth?
"Of course. There are fires, typhoons, earthquakes, eruptions and all sorts of things…"
"Yes. Maldeans have already succeeded in preventing those disasters almost before they happen."
"Oh, really?"
Not only Mr. Skar, but everyone in the conference room leaned forward in surprise.
Well, I guess this is a natural reaction.
If I remember my previous life, Earth constantly plagued by disasters.
I nod and continue.
"Yes. Maldea hasn't had a major disaster in 2,000 years. For example, magma and typhoons are constantly managed and calmed by the wizards of the Ministry of Disaster Management."
"Can it be achieved with, perhaps, magic stones?"
Mr. Skaar, who leans forward, has sweat running down his forehead.
"Yes, we used to use magic stones to eliminate disasters in Maldea until about a thousand years ago. Even if it's just me, if I have a lot of magic stones, I can probably prevent typhoons from happening."
At my words, the whole room went silent.
