"Are you making soap, you think a lot even though you're still in the middle of making gunpowder"

Today and again, when I went to work from the inn to the village hall and talked about starting making soap during the break, Dr. Lyle stunned me.

I kind of thought about making gunpowder, and then all kinds of ideas came up and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

When I actually try manufacturing, it doesn't go well at all because of my clumsiness or lack of skill as an alchemist, but I'll have Dr. Lyle's knowledge help me there.

"I hear that soap does have a city made of olive oil and vegetable seed oil. I'm not sure what Lord Takel calls alkalinity, but I'm sure it's solidified by compounding it with ash juice and lime."

"I just can't get the olive oil, but even the oil from the monster is going to do it."

When it becomes an animal oil that can be taken for free in this village of Gothrow, there is only the oil of the monster.

There are three types of monsters that live around the village: crazy dogs, gray rat men, and blood-sucking bats.

When there are too many monsters and an Adventurer Alliance is asked to crusade, Mr. Louise goes hunting, so he's squeezing the oil by splitting his prey.

I mixed the oil with the ash juice and soaked it and saw it, but so far it continues to fail.

I can do something that looks like soft soap, but it foams badly and smells like clay.

I wouldn't even go with a luxury product like that made with olive oil, but I would definitely sell it if I could have inexpensive soap that could be used by ordinary people.

"So Lord Takel wants to help me produce that monster soap."

"Well, if you thank me, that's what happens."

Even a wooden barrel should be able to do it once the manufacturing method has been established, but I still need the help of an alchemist for a precision experiment.

As I awed and put my hands together, Dr. Lyle laughed hoo-ha-hoo.

"Even though there are gunpowder formulations, Lord Takel is a rough man."

"I'm sorry"

I've also had my job mediated, but Dr. Lyle is bothering me all the time.

"No, it's a joke. I would be very happy if my technology could help. There was no one in this village who could talk about alchemy, and if Lord Takel hadn't come, I wouldn't have thought about making soap or gunpowder."

I don't think anyone is this good because they smile and consult me on such a troublesome story and even help me manufacture it.

I'm gonna fall in love with you like this. Stop.

When I asked you to let me flush my back in the hot spring to thank me, this suggestion was immediately rejected.

It's a mild joke, so stop pulling it in the face, Dr. Lyle.

In the meantime, a prototype of a bomb that seemed to work properly was completed.

I packed plenty of gunpowder in a hemp bag and connected the gunpowder to a paper wire.

Until the bomb is finished, my ordeal process will be too long, so let's give it a break.

Yeah, but can I just have one hard talk?

Sulphur was tight on nitrous stones anyway. Ingredients are human and livestock manure if you've already smashed them.

Build a nitrous hut, bury the manure in the soil with the grass, and wait for the microbial action to make the nitrous stone before collecting it. He doesn't have to urinate manure, even carcasses, but it stinks anyway.

It seems to take at least two or three years to do this, so I can't wait for that, so I took the soil from the Rod family livestock hut for the prototype and extracted the nitrous stone.

I can actually take it from human toilet soil, but looking into the toilet conditions in Western fantasy was terrible.

If it was the Middle Ages in Japan, there would have been fattening and so on for a long time, but it seems that this world is not using human manure for fertilizer.

I mean, it's a dirty story, but it's almost like throwing it away on the surface path when it accumulates...

Yeah, so I remembered, when I came to this world, the bathroom was the tightest.

I don't have any toilet paper and what I wipe is leaves.

Michi sang when I was a kid, but I didn't think I was going to wipe my ass with leaves.

I talked to Dr. Lyle about making paper, and it seems like there's actually a decent papermaking method in this world.

The quality is poor, but even the village hall does use paper.

It's really poor quality gouache paper, so for a really important contract or something, as much as using parchment paper.

When I asked him why the paper was not generally widespread, he said it was because there was a shortage of wood in the material rather than a technical problem.

It's not because of the dryness, it doesn't feel like cutting trees will grow again, like in my hometown of Japan, but when I cut them, they turn bald mountains. That's right.

People in this world don't plant plantations first, so the more they go to the city, the more they will be cut and the wilderness will spread, and the more wood they will lack.

With all the lack of materials, I can't do anything about my modern knowledge.

I knew I needed the power of gold.

By the way, Dr. Lyle blushed when he asked what was going on after the bathroom and said, "With water magic..."

It's sloppy, I asked Dr. Lyle to look into it, and he says I have zero magic talent, so I don't want it that way.

With magical magic props and magic gems, I can use magic even with zero magic power, but those things are still extremely expensive.

After all, it is gold, gold, and gold to do anything in this world.

gossip.

So me and Dr. Lyle were coming to the iron mine behind the village of Rossgow with a bomb with a detonator wire to make money.

It was a smaller mine than I thought.

There are several small caves, and there are workers carrying minerals in small freight cars. All the workers came in tired worn clothes and were fitted with iron chains on their feet.

"That, maybe"

"Slave miners. You're a tough guy in the mine."

Some slaves carry minerals in trolleys.

It is also a slave dumping the dirt and sand in the pit in a small luggage car, where soldiers with long sticks monitor those movements.

I guess the chain of legs is meant to deprive people of their freedom of movement and make it difficult to escape.

……

"Mines have tough working conditions, so a workforce that can be used and discarded is essential. Were there no slaves in the kingdom of Lord Takel?"

Dr. Lyle speaks up, as he cares for me when I shut up.

I lost my word when I saw someone deprived of their liberty and put to work in a shitty working environment.

I guess slaves are common sense in this world to see Dr. Lyle, who is usually kind and flatly admitted.

But it was a shocking sight from me in an age when slaves were freed.

According to Dr. Lyle's explanation, slavery is mostly something that falls because you can't pay your debts.

If I lost a sentence and even got into debt, it could have been.

Now I live in a society supported by the workforce of slaves.

I know it has to be sweet to live.

But let's burn this sight in our eyes.

Excuse me, Doctor. Let's go.

"Lord Takel, that's the mine's mansion."

Near the entrance to the mine, it was like a small village.

In the barn where slaves live, there are longhouses where soldiers and technicians live, and blacksmiths who process metals that can melt ore.

That's how the biggest building in such a stunning little village is the mine's deputy's house.

It was well plated, and when the maid showed me inside, it was a big room between the boards.

Well-furnished and splendid. The nearby monsters are stripped and even decorated with brightly colored tapestries.

Made in a mine blacksmith or even decorated with iron knives and swords, Hulbert and Plate Mail.

Perhaps the village blacksmith is more skilled than I thought.

Honestly, I don't think it's too boneless and a good hobby as a room decoration, but it might be profitable to be a deputy in a national mine.

My business partner expects me to save a lot of money.

The door opened and a half-naked bent man came in.

He's a magnificent man with a bald head, a bigger body than Louise the female warrior.

"Looks like you've kept me waiting, Natal Dakor, who works for this mine."

I wondered if this guy was or if the miner had come in because he was wearing half-naked, qualitative fastian pants.

Even so, Natal is Mukimuki Macho Man. The condition of the brachial muscles is like the main character of a Hollywood movie with a sinister bald head.

As I watched with admiration for that uplifting muscle, I was bowed my head to see if I had made any mistakes.

"I'm sorry for being so nice in front of the guests, it was on the scene..."

"No, this is what I asked so suddenly... and I'm not. My name is Takeru Sado. I'll see you first."

I panicked too, lowered my head deeply and introduced myself.

Do you honestly bow your head to this mining deputy named Natal, a soggy seventeen-year-old like me?

I get scared when this is also polite to a magnificent man of magnificent age, but also a person of status.

The perverted appearance, depending on the naked and muscular view of the upper body, has also appeared to be a splendid attitude that weighs on the physical rigidity.

You're a deputy, but you're great at working in the field.

Dr. Lyle and Natal are state officials assigned to the same village, so they've known each other for a long time.

Natal knows I'm here to sell the bomb, so maybe being deliberately polite is a manipulation to successfully recommend a business deal.

But being so vigilant, I can't help but like being too forthright. Besides, Natal, whose forehead balked up beautifully, resembled my favorite western actor.

I'm vulnerable to beauty, but I'm also cool with adults.

Now, let me see the bomb.

To demonstrate to Natal, I blew the shoreline of digging a new pit into a piece of wood dust.

I prepared a long conductive wire and blew it up far enough away, but still a blast so intense that when I did poorly, I smashed my tympanic membrane from the side.

I made something horrible while I was there (although it was Dr. Lyle who mostly formulated it).

Did Natal get excited about the bombing he'd try for the first time in his life "Wow!," he shook his arms and roared.

"How about that?"

"The one called Bomb is a great power, use it well and you'll save yourself all the trouble at once"

He also picks up and collects minerals and other things that were flown by the blast while touching and examining the large hole made after the blast.

I hope Natal likes it and buys it expensive.

"Per bomb, silver coins...... no, how about a single gold coin"

"It's also..."

I breathe, one gold coin is a lot of money.

I didn't expect to be sold that high.

Bombs are supposed to be a rare commodity in this world, so maybe more...

"Don't blow any more, because this one said a critical amount in good faith between those who serve the same country."

"Ha ha, no way. Sure, please."

I was laughing and sweating cold, and they were looking at me with my complexion.

That's the veteran's deputy, and the negotiations are pretty sharp.

"I have terms to buy one more gold coin, I want it to be paid later"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"It means I'll have trouble if they deliver defective products, and I'll only pay for that if they deliver products that will be properly used. I know because it's a rumor in the village, you guys are pretty much failing to experiment here."

"Uh, well, yes"

When I saw Dr. Lyle next door, he was laughing bitterly.

Until it did reach success, there were lots of failures like smoke up but not exploding.

With Dr. Lyle's efforts now, he should be able to formulate it with exquisite salt plums, so there shouldn't be so much failure, but I don't know about gunpowder.

Indeed, we should also consider the possibility of underdevelopment.

I don't intend to sell defective products, so I don't have a problem with late payment.

"I have one more condition"

"Yes."

I wanted to be foolish that there was more, but I put up with the bomb because I was the one who put a piece of gold on it.

"This is a State-owned mine, not to mention a small one. Selling bombs into our house means... you know what I mean."

"Uh..."

I don't know if you say that in such a thoughtful tone.

Dr. Lyle whispers in my ear when he sees me shuddering.

(I mean, it's going to be an exclusive deal with the Kingdom of Silesier, I don't think there's anywhere else to sell bombs, so I guess you don't mind)

Mm-hmm. I see, well, you're certainly right about Dr. Lyle. Dr. Lyle is also a state clerk, so he decided to agree to the contract considering his position.

"Ma'am, if you're going to make it a monopoly contract, I'm going to sell it to other mines and sites where utilities need bombs. I won't let you lose it."

"Well, thank you very much."

Keep your head down and reflect that you're still a detour.

I did my best to make gunpowder products and wasn't thinking of expanding my sales channels.

This is the countryside, so there's no way to miss a chance to sell into the rest of the kingdom.

On the other hand, if you want to sell people's products, you can't sell them exclusively, so do you have to consider your own sales channels?

Ask my wisdom bag (Dr. Rael) if there is any good way to do this later.

There is more to be said now than that.

"Be very careful what you get involved in. If you blow it up in the pit, you may fall."

"Ha ha, you'll tell me. I'm a mining engineer, I can't let that happen. But I'm pretty sure we have to be careful how we handle it. I appreciate your advice."

I just thought I had to advise you to keep your mouth shut, even if Natal neglected me.

Even in modern Japan, where I lived, there are a lot of people who die buried alive in mine accidents.

If you get caught in the bomb I made and the miners die earlier, you're not sleeping well.

Black gunpowder is an unsafe thing to discover, you have to be very careful with Natal.
