"Miracle? What kind of magic is this?"
The magic Orsted had obtained was called Miracle.
The only thing he could grasp was that this magic would activate when he truly desired something to develop in a specific direction.
As for what would happen afterwards, Orsted had no idea.
"Why does this feel like making a wish?" Orsted muttered to himself, stroking his chin as he pondered.
After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head, deciding to set aside his thoughts and focus on crafting the grimoires.
Before Orsted could finish his second grimoire, Hestia and the others returned.
"Orsted?"
Hestia called softly as she opened the door to the workshop, finding Orsted deeply engrossed in his work.
"Hmm?"
"Is it already this late?" Orsted glanced up, surprised to see Hestia, Lili, and Tifa standing there.
"You're still making magic items at this hour?"
Hestia stepped inside, followed by Lili and Tifa, and surveyed the cluttered workshop with a mix of surprise and concern.
Orsted had mentioned earlier that he was going to buy materials, so Hestia had assumed he was working on another magic item.
After all, in her mind, the only thing Orsted would need materials for was crafting magic items.
"No, I'm making a grimoire," Orsted replied, shaking his head before returning to his work.
"!!!"
"!!!"
"?!"
Hestia was stunned, Lili was surprised, and Tifa was confused.
"You all go ahead and rest. I'll be done soon," Orsted said without looking up, his focus entirely on the task at hand.
Seeing Orsted so absorbed, Hestia and the others exchanged glances but decided not to disturb him.
After giving Orsted a meaningful look, Hestia gently ushered Lili and Tifa out of the workshop.
Once they were in the main hall, far enough from the workshop to ensure their voices wouldn't carry, Hestia finally let out her excitement.
"Haha, Orsted is truly my lucky star!"
Hestia had been amazed when Orsted made those magic items.
He didn't even have Development Ability of Mystery, yet he succeeded.
But now, he was making a grimoire?
That should require Development Ability of Mage.
Anyways, Hestia had complete faith in Orsted and was certain he would work miracles again.
"Orsted-sama is truly amazing." Lili remarked, not finding Hestia's reaction unusual.
"Hey, what's a grimoire?"
Tifa asked, the only one unaware of the importance of what Orsted was making.
"Oh, I forgot you're new to all this."
"A grimoire is…" Realizing Tifa's confusion, Hestia began to explain.
After hearing Hestia's explanation, Tifa finally understood just how valuable a grimoire was in this world.
"So, in the future, all members of our Familia can awaken magic?" Tifa asked, her eyes lighting up.
"Exactly!"
"That's why I'm so excited."
"With Orsted able to make grimoires, every member of our Familia can awaken magic," Hestia nodded enthusiastically, still unable to contain her joy.
Magic was notoriously difficult to awaken naturally.
Ninety percent of adventurers in Orario couldn't awaken magic through normal means.
But with a grimoire, magic could be awakened one hundred percent of the time.
With mana and the unique spell, adventurers gained an entirely new combat capability.
In other words, with Orsted's ability to craft grimoires, the Hestia Familia had already surpassed other Familias at the starting line.
"I feel like our Familia has a bright future," Hestia said, her eyes shining with hope.
Lili and Tifa couldn't help but agree.
However, as Hestia's expression began to shift toward something more ecstatic, the two exchanged awkward glances.
Their goddess seemed a little too excited.
But the next moment, their minds began to race as they imagined the possibilities.
Lili already had Cinder Ella, but it was supportive in nature.
She longed for offensive magic and was eager to see what Orsted's grimoire could offer.
Tifa, who had never been exposed to magic, was equally excited.
She couldn't wait to discover what kind of thing she might awaken.
Orsted, of course, was unaware of the future the three were envisioning.
At the moment, he was entirely focused on crafting grimoires.
Two hours later, Orsted completed his second grimoire.
"There's only one copy. It wouldn't be fair to give it to anyone first."
"I'll wait until I've made a second one," Orsted murmured, holding the grimoire in his hands.
