Aiming To Be The Best Magician In The World! Chapter 181

"Sylvie what are you doing?" Maria asked her as Sylvie was trying to explain something to the Crafters Guild.
"Ah, I want something called fireworks. When you light them up, they'll go high into the sky and show various patterns with a loud pop sound. It's colorful and nice to watch at night." Sylvie explained to Maria.
"Oh, why do we need them? I don't see how it'll help us in any way, shape, or form." Maria asked her once more.
"Maria, haven't you always been stingy about money? If we can use these fireworks as an attraction every year, wouldn't many people come? That way we can sell space and rooms, as well as food for more?" Sylvie explained to her.
"But, how would that even help? If they think it's too much, what's the point of buying food?" Maria asked her.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you don't know yet. But, when people go to attractions, they usually bring money with them. They won't always have food on them, and they have to eat to survive. That's why there are usually a lot of stalls during a holiday, that's how people make money." Sylvie said.
"I see… So why are we doing this again? You clearly aren't after money." Maria asked Sylvie as she started to exert her fearful aura towards Sylvie.
"U-ugh... Please stop…" Sylvie couldn't help but sweat towards being faced with a scary Maria right now. Even the entire Crafters Guild were sweating, even the weak ones have collapsed and started to foam from their mouths.
"Fine, what do you actually intend to plan?" Maria asked Sylvie.
"I just wanted to have firework fun with everyone… It's really beautiful to look at. You'll know when it happens." Sylvie said as she couldn't really explain it in words. As the feeling one feels can't be explicitly explained by words, but only by seeing it with their own two eyes.

"Sigh, why are you so secretive?" Maria asked Sylvie with a frown on her face.
"I am not secretive. I just can't explain it. You'll know when you see them." Sylvie repeated it once more.
"Excuse me miss. We just made a prototype, can you follow us to see if this is what you want?" A member of the Crafters Guild asked her from behind the counter.
"Sure," Sylvie said as she followed him towards the back of the Crafters Guild where the testing area was.
"So as to your request, you wanted us to put it in this tube? And when we light it on fire, the thing will presumably shoot up in the sky like a cannon right?" A dwarf asked Sylvie as he stroked his beard.
"Correct," Sylvie said.
"Alright, we have prototypes of them built. We just wanted to check in with you to see if how this works, is to what you told us." The dwarf said as he patted the mortar before loading in a shell.
After putting in the shell, he launched it.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
