Graduated from Witchcraft Institute

"Satsuki, I was in a good place. Will you come to my room?"

"Huh...?

I came back from my quest to exorcise Goblin, around noon the next day.

Going down from the inn room upstairs to the dining room wondering if I was there, just there was a satsuki looking like he was taking care of his afternoon sweets.

I was carrying a slice of pancake with fruit and honey in my mouth with a fork, and the girl looks at me with her mouth moving with her toes.

"Oh, it's fine after dinner. It's a date invitation, hang out with me."

That's all I said, I sat next to Satsuki eating pancakes at the counter.

Then give the master a piece of copper coin and order the milk.

"Ngu, very much. ─ Huh? What did you just say?

"It's an invitation to a date, I said go out with me,"

"Huh?... Huh? What do you mean..."

"By the way, this is a joke."

He dropped his shoulder.

"I see... this is the one Mi said..."

"But it's not a lie to ask me to go out with you. Satsuki, I need you to do something for me."

"Ha... Fine, okay, whatever, I'll hang out"

It was a satsuki that soaked me at once.

So when I finished drinking milk, I took Satsuki, who had finished eating pancakes, to my room upstairs in the inn.

And when he came to the door, Satsuki blushed his cheeks.

"Oh, you know what, Will? You know what it means when a man calls a woman to his room?

…… Do you think I'm the kind of person who brings a woman into my room in the middle of the day in an unauthorized inn? If so, I'd like to apply for an argument to solve that misunderstanding because my misunderstanding of humanity is very strong. "

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry. I was wrong."

Satsuki has apologized in the face.

You seem to understand, so I'll do it.

That's where it happened, and I'm gonna open the door to the room quickly.

He leads me in, and Satsuki tries to get inside.

"Sorry to bother you - what the hell!?"

At the entrance to the room, Satsuki screamed.

Seeing the clutter in the room, it is flashing.

In that room, there is a narrow pile of cloth made by the magic of cloth formation (cross foam).

Instead of having a foot stomping ground, it is also loaded high on the bed and not roughly the kind of place people enter.

"Uh-huh. Satsuki, this is what I want you to do."

"What, this massive cloth, which one showed up? I mean, what are we gonna do with this?

"I made it magically. I want you to carry this to the sewers. I pay my wages. I can break a bone on my own."

"Ha... No, I don't mind..."

That's how Satsuki and I left the deer pavilion, where we could sleep with a pile of cloth on our backs, and carried it to the sewers on the city's artisan streets.

Cloth is large enough to make one jacket or one pair of trousers in one piece, and that's about a hundred pieces in total.

Holding it all at the top weighed more than the full body armor (full plate armor) worn by the upstream knights, and it was hard to carry it in large layers because it was more than heavy.

It was transported to the warehouse of the sewer's workshop and received four gold coins as consideration.

They wanted to buy it somewhat because it was a jump in, but it would be something like this.

And to Satsuki, who helped me carry him, I hand him three pieces of silver coins as wages.

"What, so good? I just carried it a little."

"Oh, for asking for help on an ad hoc basis, I put some color on it. Some of them carried more than me."

Satsuki seems to be good at manipulating the aura, thereby increasing her physical abilities allowed her to hold so much more cloth lightly than the man's me.

I hear that the ability to manipulate the Aura is an essential skill for advanced class warriors, but Satsuki already possesses that skill.

"Hehe, lucky ♪... but could a magician possibly make such a cloth? Craftsmen bought it for me, which means it's gonna disappear in a while. But you know what? Mages are amazing."

"Oh, a cloth braided by a thread of magic vegetables (mana), but once embodied, it settles as an entity and cannot be erased even by a spell of magic erasure (dispel). ─ ─ Doesn't Satsuki know about the 'clothing revolution' that happened a hundred and twenty years ago?

"A hundred and twenty years ago? There's no way you know that. I'm only sixteen. I wasn't even born with a grandmother like that."

I see.

Does a person who is not accustomed to reading a book become such a perception?

"About one hundred and twenty years ago, the discovery by adventurers of cloth forming (cross form) spells from ancient ruins revolutionized the garment culture of mankind. Until then, all the cloth was hand woven, and one garment was something you wouldn't have gotten without wearing dozens of gold coins. It's all thanks to the discovery of this spell that you can now get the least amount of clothing with a few pieces of silver coins"

In the case of hand-woven cloths, there is also the problem of material costs, but above all the manpower it took to make it has to be multiplied by the price of the goods as labour costs.

For example, in order for a traditional machine weaver to obtain a daily allowance of two gold coins, a cloth woven up over a period of ten days must be bought by the sewer at least at an amount of money added to the cost of materials for twenty gold coins.

If you add the labor costs of the artisans in the downstream process and the merchants in charge of distribution, the value of the final garment will be fifty pieces of gold.

But the magic of cloth formation (cross-form) changed this circumstance.

Mages can create dozens to hundreds of cloths a day by this magic.

The daily allowance for a magician at the current level who can use cloth formation (cross form) is about two to five gold coins, but in order to get this daily allowance, he will have to sell about five copper coins per piece of cloth made.

This has made it possible to significantly reduce the final value of clothing.

"... heh. I don't know what it is, but it's amazing how magical it is."

"Oh, it's a very socially valuable spell. That kimono Satsuki's wearing... Hmm? Wait, Satsuki's wearing it. Is that a little hand-woven natural?

Essentially, most of the garments now on the market are made of cloth created by magicians in cloth formation (cross-foam) as materials.

But I only saw and touched natural cotton woven fabrics once, and Satsuki wore them, and when I looked closely at them, they were reminiscent of the natural things I saw at that time.

"Uh, what do you think, you know. With a knife, I was told never to lose it."

"Hmm...... a little disrespect"

I keep my nose close to Satsuki's clothes and try to smell it.

As a result, I was still convinced it was the smell of a natural thing I had smelled before.

"Oh... hey, what..."

When I saw it, Satsuki was turning her face bright red, mistakenly thinking she smelled body odor.

"Oh, no, I have no other intention. It still looks natural. It's very expensive. Better take care of it."

"Ugh! Yeah, which one is it now! Will's idiot!

Satsuki was somehow very angry.

but he immediately thinks of it as if it came to something, and then he hits me with a question.

"... that? But then, Will, adventurers don't have to do a dangerous and unproductive job to eat enough of this, do they? Why are you doing this, adventurer?

I poked at the core, it was a sharp question.

I choose words carefully and explain my thoughts to Satsuki.

"Hmm... I'm not going to deny that kind of way of life, but personally, I didn't find myself very attracted to the life of making and selling cloth every day,"

"Ah, life... It's always hard to think about Will."

I didn't mean to say anything difficult, but it was so concluded.

This girl was the one who thought it might be better to think about something a little harder.
