Kujonin

When I went to the town of Snowfield, I was welcomed.

As we entered the town and the townspeople started applauding, the fire hero Spikeman and the Snowfield merchant guild chief Nathan applauded.

There's even an aunt hugging me. Apparently it's a relative of the person I helped out of the rubble.

"When we are in trouble, we're each other. One day I'm in trouble. If you're going to be able to help then, please help."

Just saying that, I greeted Nathan and Spikeman and decided to stay. The inn is still in the process of being rebuilt, so let me rent a room on the second floor of the merchant guild. Since there are not enough beds, we lay demonic fur on the floor and sleep with small fish.

"It's very popular."

Wushu's teacher praised us.

However, my feelings are complicated because I am trying to build a siege net for a fire country. It is likely that stones will be thrown over time.

"Now, how do you investigate the magic pool?"

"Well, we call it a magic pool, but the Lords call it a magic pool."

In the first place, the element comes from elements that I know from the previous world. As a matter of fact, whether it's a magic pool or a magic pool, it doesn't matter which one you use.

"Well, what a horror story."

"No, Wushu Shihan. I sometimes see magic like fog."

Woopy responded.

"It's easier to explain thin memories and small creatures if you think of them as magic."

Bersa said.

"Hmm, do you mean proven knowledge?"

"If you like, read because you wrote a dissertation?"

Later, Wu Shuu read a book by Bersa and was surprised, "Which monster is great?"

"Anyway, the research is to find the place where the magic elements and magic power are stored and the surrounding magic stones, and whether there is any health damage to the inhabitants. Investigation of the surrounding plants and livestock by magic detection, Let's listen, what do you prepare? "

"If possible, I would like to dig a hole without using magic. The magic in the magic pool does not necessarily explode under the influence of magic. If metal hits the ore, sparks may be dangerous and it may be dangerous."

It's almost like magic is like gas.

"Do you need a wooden scoop or a stone pickaxe?"

"That's right."

"Isn't it a fist? That's faster."

I heard. He doesn't seem to use any tools.

"Isn't that, your daughter's hand broken, before you get married?"

"Hmm ...!"

By the time Wushuu had finished speaking, Ayl had taken out a fist-sized stone to be used as a heating stone, grasping it, and breaking it.

"I have no problem with my hands. I can't work at my company if I can't do this much, so everyone can do it. What else do I need?"

He showed the shattered stones and palms and said, So Wu Shuu shut down.

"It's a rest and a meal. If possible, it might be better to work in pairs or teams, and go to the quarry to ask the residents the next day. It would be nice to have a pen, and then it would be useful to have a magic tool that can measure the magic stone light, the strength of magic, and the density of magic elements. "

Woopy has proposed.

"Ok, ready."

Even though various buildings have collapsed due to the earthquake, the goods should remain if they are not burning. Since the target of the interview may be a pregnant woman, make pairs as much as possible with men and women. Wu Shu, a group of 10 people, will have help in places where human resources are lacking. I was paired with Woopy.

Investigate the quarry's magic reservoir, investigate the ecology of the surrounding plants and livestock, ask the residents, replenish the missing items, support cooking and reconstruction, rest and work in five parts. To go. The sixth day is everyone's holiday. We go to the southern fishing villages to get rid of the sea pests.

Now that we have a plan for our investigation, we will report it to Nathan,

"Oh!

"I can't say anything yet, because it's a survey that includes that ... I guess the previous Magician said that it was the cause of the earthquake."

"I pray that the findings will not look like the horror story."

After all, the cause of the earthquake is clearly decided to be a horror story.

"That's why this communication sticker uses a lot of magic, but it's very useful. The magician praised it."

"I see. Thank you."

"I want to commercialize if possible ..."

After all, did you come?

"It looks like you've already made a prototype, can you see it?"

What's that magic shop, work is fast.

Nathan has shown me something like an old gramophone. It seems to amplify the voice in the trumpet-shaped part. There is a magic stone in the base, from which magic power can be supplied to the magic circle. However, the magic circle engraved on the wooden part of the table makes it impossible to hear voices in the first place. Does the creator have no magical circle skills?

"Isn't that good, but I don't think this would work."

"Is it true that Komuro-kun has also acquired magic circle studies?"

"Hmm?

It's hard to answer. The word that merchants in the country of fire judge people based on the value of use is circulating in their heads.

"How long! How much study will you be able to understand the magic circle !?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged red-haired woman enters the room and asks me. The body is squat.

"Are you a dwarf?"

The middle-aged woman nodded. There should be few races in the Northern Hemisphere.

"Is this made by you?"

I pointed to a phonograph type communication device and heard it.

"Yes, I made it. It is said that only one or two people in the longevity elf have ever mastered magical circles, how do you of your races learn magical circles? Is it? "

It cannot be said that it is knowledge and level up in the previous world.

However, when I see it with such a blunt eye, I don't want to recall Melissa and be cool.

"Every book in the east and west is read and determined with a clear eye, without being bound by common sense. Through research, experiments and hypotheses are repeated and demonstrated. Is there any other way?"

Here, the unusual face.

"Well ..."

Dwarf's girlfriend seems to be eating too much on her face to make no voice. Melissa is hitting her belly, saying, "Teach me without parentheses!"

"Haha, I'm sorry, it was too teasing. It was like an acquaintance."

"Nathan, I've just decided to be my servant! Now I would like to resign Nathan's servant! Teacher!"

Dwarf's girlfriend jumps at me and is squeezed tightly as she clings to her arm. Is this dwarf the same?

"Arim. Go away because Komuro is in trouble. You are, unfortunately, still my servant and magician. Keep it in your own workshop."

"Nnnnn ~"

The dwarf girlfriend clenched her teeth with a regrettable face and left the room.

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's amazing to build so far without knowing the magic circle."

I drew the magic circle of the communication sticker on paper and showed it to Nathan. Since there is only one channel, no matter how many you make, everyone will hear you. It's like mutual radio. It's perfect for advertising your products, and it will reach everyone in the event of a disaster. If we want to eavesdrop, we can easily eavesdrop.

"Please give this to her."

"I see. This makes it easier to work with local merchants' guilds. I'll add extra rewards. Always in the spring."

"Please"

When I left Nathan's room, a middle-aged dwarf woman called Arim was waiting.

"Teacher. Tell me just your name!"

"Naoki Komuro. Arim."

"One day, I will always ask for my teaching."

"Yeah, I want to see you someday. I hope that day comes soon."

If the walls between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres disappear someday, Melissa and Aalim will meet.

I just shook hands and left the merchant guild.

Woopy is waiting in front of the merchant guild. Today I and Woopy enter the quarry and investigate.

"Sorry, the story has been a bit long."

"No, let's go"

We then spent 24 days researching around Snowfield.

The results show that an enormous amount of magic stone is buried deep underground in the chamber, behind the wall in the innermost room of the quarry.

The more you dive underground, the more gemstones grew. However, the magic of the magicians fell into overkill, and we had to cover it with a wall of magic and sprinkle the body with an absorptive.

"Thank you! It's okay if you're near Naoki. Let's continue the investigation."

Woopy said, but it seems to be quite painful.

However, thanks to the Woopies' failure, it turned out that there was a stream of magical elements that seemed to be dragon veins deep underground and under solid ground. However, when we go there, the magical elements are so deep that we fall into excess magic. Honestly, no matter how much reserves there may be, it is not suitable for mining.

Surrounding plants had an unusual incident that caused the two-necked flower subspecies and red leaf aloe to suddenly start to grow. Also, it was found that livestock goatships suddenly started running and jumped off cliffs, and other goatships jumped off cliffs one after another, and accidents such as field boa starting eating at midnight occurred frequently. Was.

Inhabitants of the town have increased insomnia due to excessive magic, and sales of the absorptive agent have been sold.

He advised against using well water as much as possible, and recommended using water flowing from nearby forest brooks and from melting snow and boiling it. It's best to bring it from a different region, but the water is heavy and rotten, so you can't drink it.

"No way, the teacher is writing the truth"

While reading a book that his teacher wrote, Mr. Wooshuu said steadily.

"I don't know what you're doing"

Suddenly aged, Wu Shuu was eager to read Bersa's dissertation, leaving his gold bills to his disciples.

"President Komuro, Chokuro arrived from the demons today"

Devan was contacted during the investigation. In mercenary countries, supplies from Great Plains seem to have begun to arrive. Dangerous monsters in the waters of the sea were almost eliminated, and both the Sirens and the Sahagin who accompanied the ship escorted, but said they had hardly any danger. However, the winter sea seems to be cold, and it is urgently necessary to develop cold protection gear that can be worn underwater.

The Confederation's top secret meeting surrounding the country of fire has been postponed due to Edibara's reliance on the country. Unlike other nations, Eddy Barra is a magical country, so he seems to be going high if he will not be attacked. Lautaro was high next to Sassa's complaining. For the time being, it is said that a meeting will be held next week in only three countries.

One month has passed since the earthquake. Winter is coming in earnest, and the cold is severe.

"Naoki-sama has forgotten us? 』

Souf in an oasis in the desert has contacted me.

I forgot that I had a slave and I had to apologize, "Sorry."

"No, I was a little busy and had no time to return to the desert oasis."

In fact, there have been no holidays since the earthquake. There is a job that needs to be done.

"Yes, that's probably earning you."

Souf says like dislike.

"I'm bad. I'll spend my living expenses."

"No, it's fine! We make money from the desert stables to the oasis and carry it around. "

Contact, did you start earning yourself?

"Then let's release from slaves. Is that what you are doing?"

"Naoki-sama! I did not start work because I wanted to be free from slaves! 』

"Hmm? Then what? Want to go to the demons as soon as possible?

"Huh ~. Is that okay? I told you to wait here. I'll wait until Naoki returns.

"You don't have to be like a loyal dog. You are free to do it because your husband is not in the desert anyway."

"I am free enough! Though a slave! 』

It seems that he gets angry every time he talks.

"Okay. I'll make time and go home soon."

"Yes, I'm waiting for you to clean the room"

It looks like a mistress. Was the slave a mistress?

Well, whatever. I would like to meet Samuel, and also visit the desert.

The telecommunications equipment already made by Aerim has been released and is said to be located in local merchants' guilds. The first thing I bought was a Lakeshore merchant guild. Now, it is even possible to schedule which merchant guilds will send information at what time of day. Merchants are desperate as popular items change every day based on the information. Also reported are the weather of the day, the fire hero borrowing books from Edybara, and the recovery of Lakeshore and Snowfield. I wonder if it looks like a radio.

"Naoki-sama! Are you listening? 』

"Bad, I haven't heard. What?"

I wasn't listening to Suhu if I was thinking of radio programs from the previous world.

"So, an old acquaintance came and left the" spark of the desert "."

"What? What?"

"Oh, that's what I wrapped around my stomach."

A Gorgon sister said. Probably next to Souf.

"Oh, bomb? Eh! What did you leave a bomb? Is it safe?"

"No explosion. An old acquaintance means that ... "

"Ah, terrorist? Was it the demons liberation front?"

"That's right. This can break the desert tower. Of course I refused, but I said, "The time will have to be done someday"

"Hmm. Well, if you blow it out where no one is? Stop the tower."

You can't win if you sell a quarrel with a fire spirit.

"understood"

"But what are you trying to do?"

"Probably something somewhere ..."

"Okay, I'm telling the guild chief, so I'll tell you that the Gorgon's daughters will wash their hair snakes, because I think they'll be coming soon."

"Comlow! 』

Hearing the screams of Gorgon's sister, he cut his communication bag.

I warned Nathan, "Be careful that terrorists are becoming more active." Later, he will use a communication device to notify the whole country of fire.

For now, the quarry has been surveyed, so we send the Magicians to the mercenary nation. I'm going to think about what to do, but honestly, I think it's best to stop mining, fill the quarry, and leave the town.

"The magic stone as a weapon, the magic stone for cooking, the magic stone for warming, the magic stone for the night light, the magic stone to convey information to the distant people and float the airship. Then, can you stop it? "

I sighed white on a winter night.

For the first time on this day we officially crossed the border between the land of fire and the land of mercenaries.
