Let's Manage The Tower

There was a magical instrument in front of the examiner.

I've been researching it for a long time, but it was a magic tool that could not be improved as I thought.

It has been quite a few years since I thought about making it, but it has finally taken shape recently.

We are currently in the final stages of checking.

Kaiseki put the magic stone in his right hand into the magical instrument.

Just as big as Magic Stone, it was stuck in the indentation.

After confirming it, I turned on the magic tool to activate it.

With a faint noise, the magic instrument was activated as seen.

Wait for a few tens of seconds to activate, and then open the front side of the magic tool.

Inside was a cavity, and I shoved my hand into it.

The hand that penetrated into the cavity was filled with cool air.

The examiner who confirmed it smiled with Nimmari.

It seems to have been activated as intended.

Now, the magic equipment in front of Kaiseki was an unbroken refrigerator.

It is a magical instrument that is recognized as a refrigerator as a study aid, but it is not actually the first magical instrument in the world.

It originally existed as a magic tool before Kaiseki was created.

However, by way of example, it was as expensive as a lighting fixture and was not widespread in the general household.

In terms of size, it's about the same as living alone after refrigeration, and it costs more than a decade of average household income.

Far from being a general household, there were few places where they were used by top-notch restaurants.

The magical instrument in front of me now is the result of all the hard work to find out whether the student aid can reduce the price to at least about the annual income.

It has already been more than three years since I came up with the idea.

If you look at Schmidt, it's an image of making new magic tools one after the other, but in fact, most things that haven't worked for a long time are better.

There are many other magical devices that I have come up with, but they are not working well.

The improved refrigerator was one of them.

What went well as the prospectus suggests is the finished product now in front of us.

In order to see if there were any problems along the way, the examiner, who had a waiting period of only a few days, gathered members to popularize the refrigerator.

In the management meeting room, members called by the Kaiseki are gathered.

I couldn't just call Schmidt because Kaiseki was working on a lot of tricks this time.

Before him came Floria and Alec from the Kingdom of Razek Amamiya, and Schmidt and Dares from the Crown.

After confirming that a magical aide came in, I cut it out of Floria first.

"Talking about developing a new magic tool, why did you call us?

Until now, all the magic equipment made by Kaiseki was contracted by the crown in bulk.

And Razek Amamia has never been involved as a nation.

If it were, it would be about the huge amount of taxes paid by the Crown.

"Can I talk to you from the magic tool before I explain it? Because it's easier to understand."

"Okay."

Floria nodded honestly to the answer of the examiner.

I'm sure I'm busy, but I know there's no point in asking for an exam.

"First of all, I think I know what to use for this magical instrument, but I think I know what to use for the boulder. It was originally there."

That's how I gave the magic equipment to Darth.

Dahless, who had been looking at the magic equipment for a while, nodded convincingly after opening the refrigerator door and checking that it was cold inside.

Cooling room.

The cooling room is the name of the refrigerator in this world.

"But it seems a lot smaller?

"Oh, there's no point in being small. I just made it a size that's easy to make for experiments."

Dareth nodded to the words of the examiner.

"Mr. Kouske can't leave a normal cooling and thermal room... is that the same as when the lights are illuminated?

When Schmidt developed the magical lighting that he had in the past.

With the creation of inexpensive lighting magic equipment, it is now possible to install it in middle-class households.

"In a word, is that so? But this time, that's not the main story."

Kaosuke said so and took out a magic stone from the back of the cooling room.

The magic stone was handed over to Dareth, who inclined his neck surprisingly.

"What is this?

Even if Dahless looks at it, it looks almost the same as the magic stone that is normally used.

Then, in the next words of the examiner, the complexion of all the people who were there changed.

It's a magic stone that can be reused.

The magic stone is basically a disposable tool for the end if the enchanted magic disappears.

Household appliances for aristocrats and luxury businesses (?) It is a type that can be replenished by watching the magic decrease, but it is very expensive due to the labor involved in making it and the use of rare materials, most of which cannot be taken out in one piece.

Just like Ore, ordinary Magic Stones are used as magic materials to dig up mineral veins and collect naturally occurring objects.

Or wait for the magic to accumulate by leaving it in places with strong magic every few years.

The existence of such magic stones basically makes magic equipment expensive.

The inexpensive lighting made by Kaiseki does not use magic stones, so this is one of the reasons why it is cheaper.

"... what do you mean?

Schmidt asked carefully.

In some cases, it will have a greater impact than when illuminating.

"Simply put, I wonder if the Empty Magic Stone can be used again with more magic. Of course, the magic stone can only be used with magic tools."

Speaking as expected, everyone on the spot sighed with admiration to the answer as expected.

It is easy to imagine that the cost can be greatly reduced if you do not have to mine a new mine or leave it unattended for a long time.

After seeing the surroundings, the examiner went on to study further.

"It's just that this magic stone has a little work to do."

Detailed work?

"Yes, that's why the craftsmen called Florians."

Kaiseki smiled at Floria with her neck tilted.

"The ability to put magic into this magic stone is only possible if certain conditions are met."

"Specific conditions..."

Floria raised her face as if she were happy.

Other members nodded as if they were convinced by what Kaiseki wanted to say.

"Yes, I think you probably understand, but I was wondering if we could make this magical stone a royal specialty rather than a kingdom."

If you can collect empty Magic Stones and reuse Magic Stones that contain Magic again, the cost can be considerably reduced.

Conversely, without this magic stone, the magic equipment will not move.

As an examiner, I intend to make the standard a fixed one so that it can also be used with other magical instruments.

Simply put, it's going to have the same role as a rechargeable battery.

If the royal family were to monopolize the magic stone, it could become a fairly stable source of income for the royal family.

"I'd love to say that, but is that really good?

Floria glanced at Schmidt.

"I don't mind. I was concerned that there was not one specialty in the kingdom."

Specialties from the tower that the crown is delivering are in considerable quantities.

But it's just a crown product, not a kingdom.

Of course, taxes are paid from there.

While there is only one guild in the nation, the Crown is more influential than it is in other continents.

If the Crown does not have one of its specialties at a certain distance from the kingdom, the kingdom's influence will be drastically diminished.

Most of the crown's specialties, however, are based on materials from the tower, so it's almost impossible to think about breaking the relationship now.

Anyway, as a nation, it's better to have something than nothing.

In that sense, I would be very grateful for your suggestion.

In the first place, the magic tools that use this magic stone will no doubt be handled by the Crown.

Given the relationship with the kingdom that owns the Tower, there is no problem in ceding the right to the Magic Stone.

On this day's discussion, the Kingdom of Razekamamiya dealt with the handling of magical stones.

The cooling room equipped with the reused magic stone for the first time was inexpensive and spreading instantly just like the lighting.
