On the morning of August 25th.

When Jin and Elsa heard that Niestor Cirillo Jags, the Duke of Jags, was interested in dieting, they began to think about it together with the old man.

Of course, they wanted to find an efficient way to lose weight.

The knowledge that <> and <> have now is, so to speak, common knowledge, not magical knowledge.

"I wonder if it is possible to lose weight more efficiently using magic."

"Well, it's worth thinking about."

Elsa agreed with me, and we started to think about it together.

"......But that's ironic."

"Yes, indeed."

<<

The old man has simulated various strategies, and this is the method that will achieve the results most quietly and most surely.

"Yes, I know that."

"...... Jin, how to lose weight?"

"Yes, that's right."

Jin, who had almost lost his train of thought, turned his attention back to the main topic, dieting.

"Dieting with magic. ......"

Jin was a little surprised because he had never thought about such a thing before.

"After all, I wonder if it is possible to reduce calorie intake, increase calorie consumption, burn fat, and build muscle at the same time.

"Hmm, the question is how to support that with magic."

"......First of all, without magic, which would be the hardest?"

"U......,difficult question."

Reduce calorie intake. This requires self-awareness and cooperation of the people around you.

Increase calorie consumption. The bottom line is to exercise, but if you are too heavy, you can't do hard things all of a sudden.

"I think there was a medical procedure called liposuction, ......"

"I don't really want to do that."

"I don't want to do it too much."

Jin and the others ponder further.

"Is there any magic method to burn fat efficiently?"

"...... difficult ....... Usually, glucose is consumed first.

"I see."

The simple fact is that the energy source consumed by the muscles is glucose, which is made from glucose.

Fat is consumed more slowly than glucose.

"So we're still going to increase consumption?"

"Yes."

Elsa nodded.

"The physical problems caused by exercise are surgical and can be cured with ."

"That would be true, though. ......"

Jin tried to imagine.

He could heal the ravaged parts by spartan discipline with <> and make them exercise again: .......

(Some kind of torture...)

I can't help but sigh.

But Erza had something softer in mind.

"Activate your body cells and increase calorie consumption, maybe."

"Oh, that's a good idea."

"That's what I'm talking about," Jin complimented her.

"Yes, and ......."

Erza explained a little shyly.

"Healing magic usually activates the body cells. So even if it's nothing, if you cast , the cells should be activated.

"Yes, that's true.

"Yes, maybe, but actually not so much. If we can figure out why, maybe we can improve it.

"Oh."

Here is what the old man had to say.

>

In magic, image is very important.

As with engineering magic, as with offensive magic. Naturally, healing magic is also about image, and to identify the affected part of the body, we use a magic called Diagnose.

"I see, you may be right.

Elsa agreed with him.

"A well-defined image of consumes less magic power. On the other hand, a that is just a vague idea of a cure is less effective and consumes more magic power.

Hearing this, Jin felt a bit of a quandary.

"Wait a minute. So if a less skilled healer (alzut) uses <, the cells of the patient's entire body will be activated?"

But Elsa shook her head.

"No, it does not. Because the healing magic <> itself is designed to focus on the affected area."

"Is that so? ......"

Jin thought about the similar structure of engineering magic and was convinced.

"Even if all the cells in the body are activated, only for a very short time."

"That's true."

"I see.

"So, simply applying to the entire body would have little effect.

Erza summarized.

"Then why don't we study Heilung and try to activate all the cells in the body?"

"As long as there are no side effects."

Side effects?

"Side effects?" "Hmm. Activation means more cell division. There's no guarantee that it won't have some negative side effects.

"That's right."

If the number of cell divisions is fixed, and this determines the lifespan, then the trade-off for activation is a shortened lifespan.

That's something to study.

Hmm...

Jin thought again, "It's not a simple problem.

"How about a ...... hmmm ...... low-calorie diet?"

He thought that the combination of these two methods, though indirect, would help him to lose weight.

"It's relatively easy. But you have to make sure you get the minimum nutrients you need."

"That's right."

In extreme cases, fasting would mean no calories, but it would destroy the body.

"It is important to have a well-balanced diet, taking vitamins and minerals into consideration.

"Well, ...... that's a tough one."

Jin thought that even if there is magic, as long as the underlying physical phenomenon follows the same principle, it seems that it is impossible to have an outrageous diet.
