9. Leo, hands on water commerce (before)

From the Spirit of Light manifestation case, three days.

Leo had renounced his inner job all this day and came to the diocese at the same time as he would be after school.

The cancerous diocese brings together Alberto, Oscar, and his best friend Rolf, who apparently was finishing classes early, to make a mockery of them.

When they admitted to Leo's appearance, they raised their hands uniformly and greeted him with a smile. It's a small leap to Rolf.

Between the long chairs divided from left to right, the aisle, which would otherwise have led to the altar, was arranged with a small desk, on which was placed a large quantity of documents and a magic cloth.

Yes, they were caged in an unpopular cathedral and meeting the concept of formation business.

Oscar's brother Franz is becoming the originator, and the simplification and portability plan seemed to step up to the proposition that the Bernstein family would work together without Leo's knowledge, making use of his connections in the college and occasionally preparing a casual place for an exchange of views.

Apparently the tag of an Oscar with a keen sense of commerce and an eye-catching roll at a fine event, above all an enormous amount of magic and an insight into it, has presented a more realistic idea than a lousy expert meeting of fools.

Leo heard this time that the "Formation Business Division" would be held in the diocese - everything, the new diocese administrator Gustav said he was going out to town all the time, so he could go in all he wanted - so he gave a treat to the three of them and won the right to participate in the meeting.

"Oh, man, I didn't know you were really coming."

Oscar is the one who seeps through bitter laughter.

He's basically a big brother, but tends to be more overprotective than necessary for women and children.

Formation businesses are certain dangerous undertakings that have the potential to dramatically alter traditional sequences. Apparently for those reasons he was reluctant to join Leo, but as for Leo, he couldn't possibly have missed such a high-return business, be it high-risk.

(Me, my brother Oscar (...)!)

Upon an inner tsunami at Nori's in the orphanage, Leo opened the wrap he had brought with him to no avail.

Show your usefulness and get regular access to your projects to increase your profit sharing rate.

"Um, this, I'll take a look,"

"What is it, Leonora?

"What, Leonora, you've been sewing this!?

Three people peering into the wrap glance at the surprise.

There was a beautiful cloth, embroidered in geometric pattern with blue and water coloured yarn.

"Uh, the water summons formation, I didn't know, but for one thing, I tried the water spirits, the praiseworthy crest, sewing"

If it is not a magic formation, but a crest representing the Spirit of the Water, it can be easily imitated because it is also sewn into the Spirit cloth.

The truth is, I have to use my magic to draw "formations that take water from the Spirit of Water," but this is fine now because this is the first sample I brought for explanations.

"It's brilliant..."

…… But, Leonora, some of these lines seem to be doubling. "

Apparently, the prince noticed something, pointing to part of the cloth.

In contrast, Leo continued to be good at it when he just nodded that he would get my will.

"Yes. I have this crest, one line, extra, sewn. This is a crest, isn't it?

The tone is, somewhat, that of demonstration sales.

- Yes, it is. Customer, one extra branch sticks out. This ruins your beautiful garden trees, right?

"But it's okay. This yarn, this magic scissor, if you cut it a little, you're right!

As soon as Leo chopped off one of the threads that vividly embodied the crest, as though to introduce the cleavage of the branch-cut

"Oh, I see"

There appeared a crest, in full form, that lived the Spirit of water.

It was Alberto who nodded first and showed understanding.

"If you sew it with yarn, the formation won't collapse if you get wet in the water. And if you keep the formation unfinished during distribution, the water will not be inadvertently summoned."

"Do you break the formation by sewing excessively rather than leaving it unstitched"

"Sure, to get the water out, it's a hassle to take out the needle and finish the formation, but it's easy enough to cut off the extra thread"

The three of them are admirable.

Leo nodded as he became good at it.

(Hehe, this is what the old man who fucked used to do when he used to distribute fake brands!

For example, in the case of a logo that combines the C of the alphabet to the left and right, until the time of sale, it is tailored to the condition of the logo that combines ○ to the left and right, so that it is not just a brand product, so I get the eye spill of the police force.

However, part of ○ actually had a cut in it, and when the customer peeled it off after purchasing it, the brand logo combining C appeared, by the way.

Leo himself had never gotten his hands on it, but it was an idea that took a hint from around there, as it was a business practice that was infinitely close to gray close to black when it came to black or white.

I no longer know the idea of having such a dark backbone behind me, and the three of them even feel the flexibility and brilliance of the girl.

Especially since Oscar had a tight cloth.

"I see...... If we cut more threads after we've summoned the water, the formation will break again and the water will stop."

"Yes, perhaps, the thread to be cut, needs to be specified, but"

"Oh. That won't be a problem - but it's a shame to dispose of all this embroidered cloth to summon water once. It would be like digging a well and using it once to seal it off."

Leo tilted his neck once again to Oscar, who made a sober allegation that there was no point in spreading the line.

"Why is that? Water, summon in large quantities, save, formation to transfer to each household, make, keep this one flush, do. Or, someone monitors, sometimes threads, put it back and stop the water. What people buy is the water they receive, the formation they just receive. Faucets, like opening. I'm sure it's a very easy formation, you can do it."

That's the idea of a joint well.

Draw and store water from water sources, or from water spirits, and transfer it to each household - that is, respond with a hefty formation to the role of the well. The processing is complicated, so it will surely be complicated and huge.

Make only one of these and place them at about one interval in town.

Still, in each household, they sell simple formations that are only responsible for opening and closing faucets.

If that were the case, the formation would be simple, so the unit cost would be kept down.

It is healthy for the business to use a cheap magic cloth to cover capital investment at variable cost.

"I see..."

It was an idea not found in the three of us who had wells in each household as a luxury, or were equipped with water pipes in each room of the royal palace.

"But Leonora"

So the prince frowned as if it were difficult to say.

"No matter how easy the formation is, I would still do that amount if I asked for a needle. Then whether it fits into the citizens' satisfactory amount."

(Nice assist, Prince!

It's not an objection, it's phase hands.

Perceiving the signs of a fish (emon) hanging at an exquisite time, Leo shook his rod wide.

"Yes. So - to the orphanage, please"

"An orphanage?... well."

Leo nodded with a smile at the prince, who looked up as though he was stifling.

Excellent. It's a reaction as if we had a meeting.

"I'm in an orphanage, an internal job, a lot of things. Embroidery, of course I'm good at it. There is also a lot of manpower. Cheap. It's probably about a twentieth of what the prince thinks it is."

The huge discrepancy between the orphanage market and the college market was demonstrated when Leo sold Sachet.

Well, this is where we come from.

Leo deepened his grin and then cut to the point under the guise of a casual feeling.

"- Hannah Orphanage, for example. Me, I have AC. Very, very trustworthy."

The aim is to make steady money.

Leo, of course, was going to secure a working mouth for himself in the future who had made the escape.

Embroidery allows you to come regardless of whether it's a rainy day or a snowy day, or whatever, indoors. In fact, for Leo, who hates the cold, this was a very important point.

"Leonora......"

The three were all breathtaking to the girl who presented one unexpected cut after another.

It is a well-known fact that a girl is making a spare donation to an orphanage, even though she herself was in an environment of misadventure.

I suppose we should make that aid firm, not only by arranging for money and supplies, but also by arranging work points.

I teach you how to fish more than deliver fish - it's how you should have support.

In fact, if you can get an orphanage to take on embroidery for a cheap price, I've never been over this.

Until the business is on track, it makes sense to leave subcontracting to a trustworthy place, and it is all the more convenient for it to be an orphanage where no merchant is breathing.

Besides, if we solicit donations from the nobles with the aspect of supporting orphans to work, the unit price will be even lower.

The Oscars, who thought so much, did not hide the colour of joy.

"Excellent"

"Wow... that's amazing, Leonora! Something tells me you're on the road at once!

To the compliment of letting go, the girl only met a little lit up, and it was only when she attached the permission to see an orphanage as soon as Franz's permission was obtained that she had a full grin.

(I wonder how important it is for Leonora to be able to reach out to the citizens and orphanages than to evaluate herself...)

Unexpectedly Rolf leaks a sigh of sigh into the mindset of a girl who cannot believe she is very young.

Unfortunately, Rolf didn't realize that Leo was fit to the point where he wasn't obsessed with his own assessment, but that it wasn't because he prioritized a noble sense of purpose, but only because he valued whether he could make money.

"As I propose with this idea at the next club... it's about securing water resources and moulding formations."

Oscar, who was quickly drawing up a business model as he spoke and creating a simple dossier, shrugs.

The portability of a formation that is somehow an unknown realm.

The challenges to think about are piling up, but among them, where to summon water from and how to make up that complex formation were difficult questions that required time to consider.

"Water sources. Caldo River, can't you?

The Caldo River was a primary river running through Richiert, but Leo's proposal was dismissed as "no" by Oscar.

It's such a big river, it shouldn't be a quantitative problem, and the prince politely explains why he's tilting his neck.

"Until the secondary river is under the control of the Empire or each aristocratic realm, merchants cannot draw it on their own."

"Yeah? Prince, numb, if you order..."

Alberto shook his head with a bitter smile when Leo devised it cheaply, for one thing, in a royal decree of code breaking.

"No, Leonora. Water cure is the duty of each territory, at the same time it is both a right and a revenue. Orders to encroach on it will not spare the rebellion of the nobility and the disintegration of the idea itself, and they deviate greatly from my authority in the first place."

You mean don't encroach on vested interests?

Even though the prince reigns in the college like an all-purpose human being, his discretion in real society is surprisingly small.

Leo pointed his lips.

"... then get the groundwater"

"Digging groundwater and poorly invading the water veins of existing wells will now interfere with the lives of citizens"

Leo wondered if it was commerce to manage to negotiate there, but he had to be prepared to adjust and negotiate against a fairly large number of people in order to secure a water vein with a certain amount of water to be expected.

In the end, what remains possible at the moment was to fill water sources with lakes and marshes protected by water spirits, such as those outside the territory - spirits living deep in those nature that have no bargaining with men are, by and large, difficult.

In order to get water from it, different kinds of long-term warfare were expected.

"Mmmm..."

Leo, who tried to show off his glittering talent in the physical structure, was also very generous when it came to the political phase.

Because Leo didn't need that for the commerce he's been working on in Lower Town.

(No. For one thing, let's use Otona's help here)

We are only students.

Perhaps the area is the domain of Franz and the Bernstein Chamber of Commerce - probably.

When he hit the wall, Leo, whose motto was to do the trick from what he could, decided to turn his attention to other challenges.

"Then what about forming the formation? If it's a smaller formation, maybe even students can draw it."

Assuming that the formation that serves as a well is called a large formation, and the formation that serves as the opening and closing of the faucet is called a small formation, even students can draw about a small formation.

Leo wasn't sure because he was skipping all over magic around there, but maybe if you asked a student who was showing off the formation at a presentation the other day, it would be one shot.

Even parents can use anything that stands.

I'm going to ask those people, and when Leo told me with all the momentum he was giving me, the Oscars broke his mouth all the time.

"Phew... I don't know if the day will come when the research of the Formation will be lit up in a college that has been glorified with magic by the Formation"

"I'm sure they'll be happy to help."

Studying the formation were junior aristocrats who lacked magic and students from the citizenry.

How delightful would they be if such a plea had been made by the Marquis of Reiki?

The two narrowed their eyes to the appearance of a girl who would even remove the hedges of nobility and citizenship and throw light all the way to the path of the students.

"Then, Little Formation, so, that's just it. And then there's the big formation..."

Leo's voice, which was putting in a proper compartment, became slightly smaller.

Even though, Leo is lacking in witchcraft talent.

I couldn't imagine what a complex formation would be needed to summon, pool, and distribute large quantities of water to each household, which would also withstand drinking.

(At a time like this, if it was Lena, would you come up with something good)

I don't know, but even the team replacing the human body should be pretty complicated.

If she was pulling that off without difficulty, or maybe she could devise a formation in a little bit.

(I knew I'd go to the orphanage early and get my body back, and then you'd also tell me the formation that summons the water -)

When Leo finally inadvertently started to do the calculations, saying that those formations, no, these formations, no, those formations might be good.

"- If the form of the formation itself, the idea is… yes"

The prince's, hesitant voice sounded.

Leo and the others look up all the time.

Taking the gaze for the three, the prince nodded slowly.

"I was interested in the presentation the other day, and I did my own research. In other words, formation is the drawing of magic. It's not as difficult as a task because you simply substitute the magic power to be exercised with the corresponding shapes and symbols."

"What...?

The Oscars were stunned. Leo was also greatly drained of his liver.

(Yep!? 'Cause it took dozens of researchers decades to finally get to where they are now!? Oh, you can say that so easily!

Alberto briefly says, "Just replace magic with symbols," etc., but ordinary people who lack magic in the first place need to spend their entire lives grasping the full spectrum of magic to be exercised.

But that's all Leo thought about.

- For example, if magic was a coin.

(People stroke a coin to get it from time to time, but those who don't have it with them will eventually stroke a picture of the coin that copies it on paper. I mean, that's the formation)

That's not the case with such a peculiar figure, but Leo didn't doubt that the analogy would be very exquisite and sincere.

In the days when the whiskers were scarce, they were often hand in hand toward the picturesque copper coins.

(So if you want to get a hundred copies of copper coins sometimes, people who only know copper coins have no choice but to add more pictures of copper coins to their pranks, but not if they're rich. By making me draw a single gold coin, I try to get just the same occasions)

A gold coin is, in other words, immense magic. For those who possess real gold coins (magic), they are only nonsense, such as paintings (formations), but if asked to paint, they can paint more luxurious coins than those who don't have them.

That's why Alberto, with his immense magic power, is what it is when advanced formations can pull off easily.

(I fell to my heart! But I can't fall for it!

Leo did a very clever thing, convincing the theory with an analogy that he didn't quite understand, while the blessed bite the unassuming thoughts of the blessed public everywhere.

"Ha... It's kind of not funny, but okay. Your abilities are a treasure to us today."

The analogy would be different, but it seems that Oscar, equally convinced, pulls up the edge of his lips.

Rolf also nodded, "Sa, that's just great, Prince," as he attracted his face to the first cheat that had lightly surpassed the lower aristocracy's decades of findings in a few studies.

"So? What kind of formation exactly would that be?"

Oscar urges, the prince says.

He seemed hesitant to share the formation as to why.

(What? So you're singling out the feat?

The forming of the Great Formation is one of the greatest difficulties in this formation and water business.

Maybe he's also trying to increase the profit sharing rate by making a lot of disclosures about the formation.

(That's what I'm gonna do!

I don't think I should be rewarded for my contribution, but I can't accept that my share will be reduced too much.

Leo rode himself out for a long time and looked strongly at the prince.

"Tell me, prince. What is it, formation?"

"... it's still in the research phase, Leonora. Do not draw and outburst the sorcery."

"Failure, fear, will not! Beyond that, glorious, future, wait! Someone with no magic, someone in an orphanage, very, very, very waiting!

More specifically, Leo, an orphan without magic, is waiting to make the money he hasn't seen yet.

The prince murmured "Leonora…", hesitating, but turning to the Oscars, he explained the form of the formation.

"... the formation will consist of three main parts. When exercising magic, we need to define the subject and the method, the image of the result, but we will replace it with a line."

(Humph)

Speaking of which, I think Lena said something about magic if you don't know how, or whatever your imagination is, so I guess that's the thing.

- Unless it was about money, Leo's understanding of things was to this extent.

(No, no, no. But this time it's about direct business. I need to ask you seriously.)

According to the prince, in this case, the formation will need three more parts at a time, as three results must be achieved: summoning water, storing water and transferring it to a determined location.

(Uh, at 3x3, prepare nine quadrants...)

It sure is a lot more complicated.

Determining that he seemed better organized with images than text, Leo sneaked out a hand-held note and began drawing formations (tentative) there.

"I think there is a quick way to surround the water source designation with a formation of crests showing the water spirits. So to speak, it's like entangling and exploiting the Spirit in magic - there's even a war with the Church around here that you have to adjust the way you say it."

"No, it's easy to understand. It's just us anyway, keep going."

"To store water, we apply space-time manipulation formations. Perhaps this is the most complicated. Firstly, three straight lines showing the flow of time and -"

(Wah, tamma! Hey, you're expanding too fast to chase me!

If I had carefully painted the crest of the Spirit of the Water, the Prince would have gone further and further.

The circle that hastily surrounds the crest of the Spirit and draws from it all the way to the geometry that takes away the water -

(... that?

So Leo noticed.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Leo has pulled a line himself, - and I don't even think he'll succeed because he drew extremely rough, except for the crest, if.

(What if, now, I accidentally summon water?

I have a bad feeling.

Come on, Leo faded away, at that moment.

- Dwow...!

From the void, massive amounts of water appeared!
