Let's Manage The Tower
(2) Lighting
"Reproduction of slime, huh?
Royce, the six lords of Kennelsen, leaned his neck in front of the examiner.
As for Royce's mood, I was just saying what to suddenly say.
The examiner suddenly came to Royce with Schmidt.
It was just decided that Kennelsen would go under the umbrella of the Amamiya Tower, and he was busy moving around a lot.
At that time, Kaiseki and Schmidt came, so I thought it was about the inclusion of an umbrella.
That was the question of whether the slime could breed all of a sudden.
It's only natural to be bewildered, not even by Lois.
Nevertheless, Lois is one of the Six Houses.
I went straight to my head about what had been heard.
The auxiliaries came because Lois was strong in livestock among the Six Houses.
I can tell from the questions.
Nevertheless, I've never heard of Royce the Stone breeding monsters.
"Unfortunately, I've heard of keeping stray monsters, but I've never heard of breeding them."
To be honest, Schmidt nodded.
I see. I thought maybe... "
"Can't help you..."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He waved his hand to Lois, who looked sad.
"The real question is, is it possible to breed slime?"
When he heard that, Lois thought of something as a joke.
I thought what it meant to breed monsters in the first place.
But when I saw Schmidt's face, I realized I meant it.
I will immediately consider in my mind whether it is possible to do what Kaiseki is saying.
"... honestly, I don't know unless I try."
When Royce said that, he felt impressed.
I was wondering if it would be impossible for me to study as an assistant.
"If reproduction were successful, how much would it cost?
It was Schmidt who asked me that realistic question.
"Depends on what you use it for in the first place.
Royce didn't know what to do with the slime because he was asked if he could breed suddenly.
The cost will naturally change, so it's natural that you can't answer immediately.
That's true, too.
After Schmidt nodded, he brought something in front of Lois.

"Is this... lighting?
That was how Lois first felt when he saw what he had been given.
Lighting is an expensive magic tool used in mansions such as nobles and wealthy merchants.
The reason it becomes expensive is because of the use of advanced technology in magic tricks to maintain light and the time it takes to put magic into its magical effects.
If you have a magician or something like that, there is no problem, but it is the first two types of race that can have such a person.
Of course, the magic equipment itself has become very expensive.
Royce wondered if the lights and the slime could not be connected.
"That's right. In fact, the light fixture is able to use the slime as fuel."
The assistant who developed it cut out that way.
I don't just imitate the original magic equipment as a study aid.
It was Schmidt's prototype that I tried and mistakenly tried to see if I could use it at home.
By the way, as an examiner, I didn't intend to put it on the table yet, but Schmidt didn't miss hearing that I talked to Polori.
I was reluctant to show Schmidt what I wanted him to see.
As an examiner, I was dissatisfied with the fact that if the fuel cost was bulky because fuel was absolutely necessary, it would fall short of the original purpose of providing it cheaply.
After Schmidt considered it, he decided to come back to Royce.
Lois nodded as convinced as he heard the story.
"Okay, so that's the slime?"
In the first place, Slime is a monster famous for being everywhere.
From that, I can see that they are predicting that reproduction will be easy.
Moreover, the slime needed for the magic equipment made by Kaiseki was famous as a monster that could be defeated by anyone, such as oil slime.
It was also famous as a slime that was completely useless so that anyone could defeat it.
Other slimes, even if inexpensive, can be useful, making pocket money for adventurers at the bottom.
However, only the oil slime has no application at all, so no one has ever seen it before.
"That said, if this spreads to the general household, wild things may not be enough."
Royce was very convinced by Schmidt, he added.
As many monsters as there are everywhere, it is obvious that if adventurers overshoot, they will run out of monsters.
I don't know how much lighting I need, but I'm not sure I can capture enough to cover every home in the general household.
As a result, the fuel itself becomes expensive, so it becomes meaningless.
"... because it's an area where I've never done anything at all, I can't answer something that I haven't done clearly."
Really?
To Schmidt, who looked sad, Lois took a moment with his right hand.
"That means you can't answer right away. Could you give me a minute? Let's see if we can experimentally reproduce the slime."
When I heard that, Schmidt also had a bright expression.
"Ooh! Well...!
"Quickly, let's consider it. If that's the case, there's no point in not being as cheap as possible."
Royce responded forcefully and began an unprecedented project to breed monsters.
♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦
In the Earthgard world, there are quite a few monsters and monster tamers.
However, there was no so-called bleeder position to grow monsters.
Horses breed normally, so Kaiseki thought it was not strange to have a monster blueleader, but it wasn't that sweet.
The first two positions consist of capturing monsters that normally exist in the wild and training them.
In the first place, monsters are the subject of a crusade, so it may be natural that there is no idea of deliberately breeding them.
The breeding of the slime, which started in that way, went better than Lois had originally anticipated.
Maybe it was good that the subject I chose was a slime.
I ate almost all the food I needed, so on the contrary, it wasn't as hassle-free as other animals.
As a result, it was determined that it would be profitable immediately and began to breed the slime on a large scale.
Now that Royce's slime was breeding, Schmidt also began selling the magic equipment of the study aid to the general public.
Since it was intended to be cheap in the first place, it was possible for ordinary magic artisans to make it in large quantities.
The inexpensive lighting thus produced was soon generally accepted.
I was worried that the oil slime I was initially concerned about would be hunted down.
The slime was never hunted down, but the number of adventurers hunting the slime to keep up with the demand of the general household is running out.
The price of one slime was known, so it was largely because it was shy away from the rookie adventurer.
Still, by that time, Royce's slime breeding had begun to go well, so there wasn't much confusion.
Ultimately, inexpensive luminaires devised by Kaiseki were to be extended to ordinary households.
