Marquis' Express Butler

After the story, I head to Spinel's workshop in the corner of the Metys building.

I initially had an outside workshop, but it was not very efficient, so I moved here recently. Spinell has become more likely to have an exchange of opinions as he moves up to managerial status.

Of course, even if he's doing alchemy experiments, he's often anxious, but he can't help it. If it's on fire, we should move.

But with the minimum preparations for fire suppression and evacuation, we should be able to resolve this with less difficulty, even if there is a fire.

“I'm going to crack the diagram. ”

As you get inside, Spinel sits at his desk and looks at the drawing. The light is focused on the desk, whether you used a lens.

It looks like a stand-up replacement, but isn't it making my eyes worse?

Spinel smiles and receives a horse.

“I'm sure there's more precision in the master's head anyway, but don't you mind if I drill it?" ”

“It's hard to draw again. Don't you get a quote? Cherish it.Don 't doodle too much. You should see the others. ”

“Every time I think about it, it would be great if I had a copy machine. ”

“Make it happen. ”

Copiers that are common in my area. But this is not the case. If it hadn't been for "Mana's dusk," it would have been done with Mado technology.

I have been able to understand the history of the continent by reading many books to date.

At the time when Mana could be freed, the rapidly developed technology rapidly deteriorated after the ‘mana dusk’ and fell into a dilemma.

The level of science and technology here is, in fact, not so organized as to be embarrassing to say that it is.

But I don't intend to ignore it. It's just a little late.

“If I hadn't met the Master, I would have dreamed of nothing more. But now I think I can do it. At least you won't starve to death. ”

“If you hadn't met me, you would have lived well. I'm really good at it. ”

“Technology moves with age, and when you get older, you fall behind. It's important to achieve something big before your eyes get droopy. ”

“You're underestimating yourself. ”

From where I could see the status window, he didn't seem to have diminished in his talents at least as he grew older. Despite the lack of energy.

Then Spinel drops the drawing from his hand.

“Is that why you're here to keep an eye on things? It's off-duty for now. ”

“Is that possible? I just came to see my face before I left. ”

Spinel smiles. I feel a little lighter now that I've grown fond of you.

“You're going straight back to the Royal Road? ”

“We can't just leave. We've got some work to do. ”

I meet with Confucius Hamel. I manage the territory. It is difficult to go directly to the territory on a regular basis, so I am thinking of calling a representative.

Spinel shakes his head with his hands wide as if it were a pity.

“If I have one wish, it's to eat delicious food and beer and share ideas with the master all night long. because he's the most theoretical person I've ever met. ”

“Thanks, but it's gonna be hard for a while. We have a lot of work to do. ”

“I understand. The Master is always busy. That's why I said my wish. Wishes are hard to fulfill, aren't they? ”

“I know you're asking me to listen. ”

“Hahahaha! You caught me. ”

I explained to him the real reason I came here, because I thought it would be a distraction.

“You can imagine I'm going to expand and specialize in office supplies in the future, right? ”

“Yes. It's going to be simple to see, but innovative. The Master's products are always a good match for innovation. ”

“So I wanted to give you some information. ”

Spinel gleams at both eyes. He looked as if he had become a beast as much as he did making something. That's just the way it is.

“What is the material used to attach something? ”

“Of course it's glue. ”

“It may sound a bit sudden, but there will come a time when adhesives are very important. ”

“Not just a little bit. That's a bit of a nonsense. Do clerks and butlers use glue these days? ”

“Listen to the end. ”

I took out a rectangular note about the length of my pre-prepared finger. On top of this, it was written 'Multipurpose Adhesive Development’ and then affixed to Spinel's desk.

Since it wasn't like a sticky post-it, I had to stick it with a tack to secure the note.

There are already a myriad of scrapbooks hanging around and traces of them falling off. It was full of holes formed by a spike.

“A dear deacon told me how convenient it is to use this little note when looking at the office. It's easy to manage your schedule. Nothing to forget. ”

“You can just stick it on a spike like now. ”

“What if there was a better way? Think about it. When we say adhesive, we think it's very sticky and sticky and sticky and doesn't come off well at one time. ”

“Of course. That's what I made it for. ”

“But what if I made a special adhesive that I could comfortably glue off while maintaining the sticky nature? ”

The bear flashes as Spinel's eyes widen. It was a sign that I had an idea.

“Can you just secure it anywhere without using a tack or other tools? ”

“Exactly. If you put special glue on one side of a memo and sell it in bulk in 100 or 200, people will be able to take notes and put them away one by one and use them comfortably. ”

“Amazing, this is a real innovation! ”

In short, I plan to create a Post-it, a 3N masterpiece.

When I was a graduate student, I really used to draw a lot of Post-it maps, so I can't even see the coated paper here.

But this isn't just a post-it.

There were many inconveniences for me to experience state-of-the-art technology with my whole body, and there were many areas where I could improve my efficiency even if I changed or milled an idea.

Mattis' business plan, in fact, was inspired by 3N's slogan.

Applied to Life. ’

Life meets science.

In other words, I thought that changing my life through science was the best I could do here, where I come from. People find things they're used to. This side is much more appealing than being a soothsayer or wizard.

Where I lived, things were becoming miracles here.

And their lives were changing gradually. It was a great pleasure for me.

It feels like magic.

In that sense, Spinell will be a pivotal part of our business in the future.

That's why it's important to hold on to his heart.

It's a lot harder to get people than making things.

“How could you come up with an idea like this? Is the Master a God?”

“No way. If it were God, he wouldn't have asked you to build something. Only if I make it myself. ”

“The providence of God, isn't it? trying to grow it by giving it the right kind of human trials. ”

It's ridiculous. Is it okay to create a religion?

“I'm an ordinary person. ”

“Ordinary. Can ordinary people change the world?" ”

“Is there a reason you can't change that? ”

“Great discoveries are exclusive to a handful of people. ”

Spinel's questions are filled with respect and doubts. It's true, but there is one thing you should not overlook. It's been a long time since I've thought about your teachings.

“A handful of people have monopoly. But that's only possible because of the noble sacrifices of ordinary people. Don't underestimate the accomplishments they've accumulated. ”

You don't seem to understand, so I waved my experimental equipment in my hand.

“You don't have to go far. You can tell by looking at this. It's for ordinary people to make tools like this. That kind of effort comes together to form a system. We only accelerate the time of great discovery with their help. Unfortunately, only our names remain on one corner of history. It's bitter, but it's something we have to remember. ”

“Ah……. ”

I wonder if my heart has been told. The doubt fades from Spinel's gaze. All that remains now is respect for me and an inquiry into the unknown.

You need to calm down. I checked his tapped shoulder state spear.

There was a result.

The appeal that was 80 increased to 82. It was really a dramatic change. But we might be up all night if we don't get back on track.

“I feel a little chatty, but Eluna's gonna make you a nice piece of paper with some glue. So use your Alchemy knowledge to make adhesives. It is key that the stickiness is not too sticky, but lasts for a long time. Do you understand?”

“Very well. Let's start with the stapler and work on the glue. ”

“Charge as soon as you need to. You know we got money, right? Write all you want."

I encouraged Spinel once more and left the workshop.

* * *

As you head back to the mansion, you hear a murmur in the stadium behind the Mathis building. The protagonist of the voice was the person I expected.

“You're eager.”

Khalmond, who wielded the dagger, withdrew his weapon and took an example of me. I got close.

“You're not going yet? ”

“It's been a while since I talked to Spinel. I'm on my way. ”

“Are you returning to the Royal Road today? ”

“I'll be back tomorrow. I'm meeting with Congressman Hammer, and I have some personal business to attend to. ”

Calmond gives you a sad look.

Every time this happened, I always felt sorry for my men. I work hard for my company, but I haven't been with them long.

“I heard you've been working hard lately. How are you doing? ”

Before I left, I saw his interests At that time, it was written, "The desire to be strong."

“As my business recently expanded, I realized that I was a frog in a well. So I'm working on it every day. But it's still slow. It looks like you hit a wall. ”

“Wall. Right. It's not easy.”

“So I'm going to try harder. You can cross the wall at this rate. ”

His current level is 41. Situation 1 point higher than the last check. If you think about what you've done, you can't say that you've gone up a lot.

“But I'm usually too busy talking to Eluna and Spinel, aren't I sad? ”

“Hahaha. Not at all. I'm not seven years old. You wouldn't think that? We need to distinguish between the two. ”

The look on your face seems genuine, but you don't know the human heart. Especially relationships. One very small thing makes a crack.

“Come to think of it, I haven't really talked to you openly. ”

“You're busy. That goes for all the other guys. Now that we've all found our way to the Master, you'll want to talk to him. ”

“So I prepared a gift. ”

“Gifts?”

“The wall you mentioned, I'll get you over it. ”

Calmond was startled by my serious words.
