Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

"It's too old, change it again."

"...Please give your instructions, Master."

Abo's lips curled into a smile as he took Baluge's hand, only to find that he couldn't see her face clearly when he looked up.

“Barugo, you look just like my mother. Can I call you Mom? In exchange, you can call me Dad.”

"..."

Aibo clearly felt Baluge's body stiffen slightly; now he could finally hear her voice.

This time, the owner is a child... So this is what human children are like...

"Okay, Dad."

"..."

Now it was Abbot's turn to be silent. He seemed to have misunderstood something. Baluge wasn't suppressing her thoughts, nor did she have any resistance to mind-reading abilities. She was just genuinely a bit emotionless.

Abbott immediately lost interest and waved his hand:

"Never mind, I was just kidding. You can call me whatever you want, anything is fine."

Baluge tilted her head and replied:

"Yes, little master."

"...?"

Abbott felt a bit frustrated, like he'd shot himself in the foot, but since he'd already said it, he didn't really care.

Can you tell me what your abilities are?

The previous celestials weren't smart enough to help Abbot with his research on celestial magic, but the arrival of Balgo gave Abbot hope that his research on summoning magic might achieve a new breakthrough.

"Yes, I am an elemental-controlling Protoss, specializing in earth elemental magic, and I also have some martial arts skills."

"Um, is there any more?"

"I am an all-around maid, skilled in all housework, and I have all the skills a maid should have."

"?"

"..."

"Uh, uh... never mind that for now, let's go outside and test your strength."

Aibo teleported Baluge outside the house, watching as Baluge easily crawled out seven or eight holes in front of them.

Abbott fell into deep thought.

"Is this all you can do?"

Seemingly sensing that her young master was not satisfied, Baluge bowed and explained:

“Little Master, the magical strength of us Celestials is preset. We will unlock different levels of power according to the strength of your magic.”

"So you mean your strength levels are different? Which level are you at right now?"

"Beginner level. Although my young master has abundant magic power, it can only extend my summoning time. It is not enough to unlock the intermediate level of the Star Spirit."

"Junior, intermediate, and advanced? So you have three levels of strength?"

"Generally speaking, yes."

Aibo glanced at his blue bar:

【Magic Power: 650/691】

After upgrading my meditation to LV3 a while ago, my magic power increased much faster. If I meditate at full strength every day, I can increase my magic power cap by nearly ten points.

The total magic power is estimated to break through the 1000 mark in another two months.

Now that Abbot can roughly sense the strength of other people's magic, he has some guesses about the magic standards that Balgo mentioned.

It is estimated that when the magic power reaches 1000 and 10000 respectively, it will be the threshold that distinguishes between the "beginner, intermediate and advanced" levels mentioned by Balgo.

Abo's inference is also based on evidence.

Those with less than 1000 magic power are considered trash.

The elite mages in the guild all have over 1000 magic power, and even Erza has it now.

Everyone says that Laxus is about to be promoted to S-rank, and his magic power is around 10000, so 10000 magic power is probably the threshold for S-rank mage.

As for Gildarts and the Guild Master... Ebo couldn't detect their magical power, but it's estimated to be a terrifying number.

Let's wait a few months until my magic power breaks through 1000 and then see if I can unlock Valkyrie's intermediate level.

"I think I understand... By the way, can't you change your form? Is that transformation magic or a Protoss ability?"

"This is part of Virgo's power. I don't have a fixed form; what I become depends entirely on the master's intentions when they first summon me..."

"Can you transform into other forms?"

"This... is theoretically possible, but we haven't tried it before, since I'm always summoned in my master's ideal form..."

"No, I want to try it. Show me another one!"

"..."

Balugo nodded:

"Then please summon me again, young master."

Abbott decisively sent Baluga back:

"—Open the door to Virgo! Balu!"

"Are you calling me, little master?"

"Huh?!?!"

Aibo's eyes widened in shock because the 1.8-meter-tall, busty, and voluptuous older woman from before was gone.

Before her stood a petite twin-tailed loli maid who was only slightly taller than herself.

and many more! ?

No! Don't shock me!

Abbot was so frightened that he immediately sent Baluga back.

He took a deep breath and thought again about his favorite female characters:

"—Open the door to Virgo! Balu!"

“...Did you call me, young master?”

This time it finally worked. The appearing girl, Baruka, turned into a cute, emotionless maid with short pink hair. However, the way Baruka looked at me seemed to have a rather meaningful look in her eyes.

It must have been an illusion, Aibo thought, that the little girl Baluge from earlier was just an accident.

Abbo said excitedly:

"This ability is amazing, Baruko! You really are an all-around maid!"

"...Whatever makes you happy, my little master."

Chapter 31 Flight Mode!

"Abbott! Who is she!?"

"Good morning, Kana. Let me introduce you to my new contracted celestial spirit, Ballet Song. She's the Virgo celestial spirit of the zodiac."

"Protoss? So small?"

"..."

The summoned Valkyrie today happened to be in her loli form. She had to bring a stool to the kitchen to make breakfast for Aibo. If it were another summoner, there might be a risk of being electrocuted, but Aibo belatedly realized that he had no such worries at all!

So Aibo pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"Balugo is a Protoss who can change her form. If Ebo wants friends her own age, she turns into a little girl. Is there a problem with that?"

"Oh, oh... I see."

"..." (Barugo is helping Abbot do his laundry.)

After thinking it over, Kana realized that there was nothing wrong with it; it was normal for Abbot to want a friend his own age.

"Let's not talk about that for now. The guild leader officially announced in the guild today that a large area in southern Magnolia will be designated to build an amusement park! Abbot, you're amazing, you actually succeeded!"

"This is a matter of course and nothing to be surprised about."

Abo shook his head, then Kana pinched his cheeks:

"You cheeky little Aibo! I'm praising you!"

"I know... So, is this what Kana came here to tell me?"

"Yes and no. The president said the amusement park is still in the planning stage and they are recruiting a lot of mages who can use earth magic. I heard the reward is very generous. I wonder if I can help... Abbo, you can also use earth magic. Will you sign up?"

"...Sister Kana, I'm the consultant for this amusement park project. Theoretically, this generous reward comes from my own pocket."

"Huh!?"

Kana froze, her hands stopped moving, and her eyes went from blank to shocked to confused:

"Abbot, when did you become so rich?"

"Of course I don't have that much money, but I've brought in an investment from a tycoon. Hey, Sister Kana, it's too difficult for you to understand the ins and outs of this. Anyway, just know that I'll never be short of money again."

Is that so?

At only eleven or twelve years old, Kana couldn't possibly adjust in such a short time. In her mind, Abbot was still the little brother she had to take care of when he first joined the guild. Although she knew he had made money by writing books, she never really felt it.

She suddenly realized that her younger brother had unknowingly become a "big shot" with the power to mobilize the entire guild, something that only adults could do, like Gildarts...

In a child's eyes, there is a clear dividing line between children and adults, but Abbot seems to have blurred this line through his own abilities, something that Kana only realized at this moment.

"Abbott, you're really amazing..."

"I've already said that before~"

Aibo smiled and patted Kana's head:

"I know Kana wants to earn more money, but actually, you can rely on me more. I'm already very rich, and I might have more money than I can spend in the future. I could easily support a few more Kana sisters!"

"Pfft~ No way! What kind of older sister relies on her younger brother to support her? Even though Abbot is amazing, I won't fall behind!"

Kana quickly perked up, but she soon realized something was wrong:

"Wait a minute!? Abbot, when did you get so tall? You can even touch my head! Wait, something's not right!? You're flying!"

Kana took a step back and realized that Abbot was actually floating in the air.

Abbots put their hands on their hips and said smugly:

"Impressive, right? I used gravity magic to offset my own weight, and then used wind magic to control my movement, which allowed me to float in the air. However, I still don't have good enough control yet, and I can't fly freely anytime soon."

"Can you take me flying with you sometime?"

"It definitely can!"

Gravity magic was learned from Gildarts and infused with Inspiration. At LV1, it could only increase gravity in a designated area, but after upgrading to LV2, it could be cast in reverse.

It's a magic spell with a very simple principle, yet few people in this world have thought of using it to fly. I wonder if it's because there are many other flying spells in this world.

However, because the level was forcibly increased, this magic was difficult to control, often causing it to drift aimlessly and scrape against the ceiling.

After Abbot raised his magic control to LV3 and combined it with wind magic for micro-management, this new flight spell finally stabilized.

[Flying Magic] The improved spell model should be considered the first new magic created by Abbot, which is a great improvement. Abbot now also has the ability to write his own spellbook.

It's important to understand that as long as a spell model for a certain type of magic exists, a mage can successfully cast the spell even without understanding the principles. Therefore, most wild mages are semi-illiterate, and those like Ebo who are self-taught and can create magic on their own are extremely rare.

"I've proven that creating magic is feasible, so Kana, it's time for card summoning magic next. Please look forward to it!"

"Yes! I've always believed in Abbott."

For the next period of time, Abbott began to focus on the research of summoning magic. With the assistance of Balgo, his research went very smoothly, no, it should be said that it went more smoothly than expected.

One night, Abbott and Balgo had an in-depth discussion about celestial magic.

"Barugo, why don't the Celestials die even when they suffer fatal wounds after being summoned?"
