Risou no Himo Seikatsu

There are no distinct seasons like Japan in the Kingdom of Karpua.

For once, because of changes in temperature, if we are forced to spend three months in December (one year with a moon is in March), we can call it spring, summer, autumn, and winter, but just because it's autumn doesn't mean the plants will be red leaves, and just because it's winter doesn't mean it will snow or grass flowers will wither.

But the only exception to that is the three months equivalent of 'spring'.

Only at this time, without distinction between nobility and civilians, can the people of King Karpua feel unequivocally "Oh, is that such a time again this year".

Ten months after Yoshijiro came to the other world. Yoshijiro was experiencing his first 'rainy season' in the Karpua Kingdom.

"Don't get off well."

In a room in the rear palace, Yoshijiro, who was looking out the window, leaks the potpourri unexpectedly.

That rain, which keeps making noise and shaking, is not a cute thing like Japanese rainy season. Although it is not accompanied by strong winds, the rainfall alone reminds me of a typhoon. Now the wooden door is open, but if it had been closed, the sound would have sounded indoors.

The chestnut-haired lady sitting opposite Yoshijiro - Countess Marquez Octavia answers with a soft grin and her gaze out the window.

"Yeah, because around here, the majority of the rainfall in a year has been concentrated in the last three months. For a while, I thought it would be a rainy day two in three days."

From the content of the class, it is undoubtedly derailed, but you also thought it important to talk about the kingdom's culture and climate. Octavia interrupted the magic lecture once and began explaining so.

"That much? So, isn't work outside lagging behind this time of year?

In response to Sanjiro's question, Octavia shakes her head small and vertically, answering.

"Yes. So, in principle, activities everywhere will be minimal at this time of year. Rural and fishing villages are full of hands just to prevent the decimation of fields and ports, and rainy and hot weather, even in wartime armies, is usually a natural truce"

"I see. But isn't there a problem with that much rain solidifying at one time? River floods and landslides are likely to occur. On the contrary, no water shortages occur during periods when it doesn't rain? Besides, if you stop working for three months, the poor are going to be devastated."

Octavia answers the question she comes up with in a comforting voice to Sanjiro, who speaks frankly.

"It's okay. Originally the Kingdom of Karpua is forested 80% of the national territory, so the risk of slipping is low, and there are no examples of water sources completely depleted even during the dry season, as the water stored by the forest during the rainy season is available as rivers and springs.

Only the problem of the poor, who lose their jobs during the rainy season, still seems to be fundamentally unresolved, but still, after the war, the starvation death toll is almost gone. If you have a populated city like Wang Du even during the rainy season, you don't have a job at all.

Although the term 'daily employment working in the rainy season' is sometimes used as a metaphor for 'unplanned fools'. "

"I see. Is it like Ant and Killi Britain Killi..."

"What, with an ant?

"No, it's nothing. We're talking here. I can't fix it, and the problem with the rainy season is the perception that it's largely solved?

"Yes, Master Left. Regardless, unexpected water damage is heard here and there in the country, as almost every year, but it does not lead to a reduction in national power."

Octavia nodded to Sanjiro, who said so to deceive him.

(I see. Still, I guess I should do something about it than not zero actual harm or poor unemployed, but I don't have any useful knowledge of amateurs)

Even the same modern Japanese, if they are civil engineering experts or dam designers, may be able to come up with something, but Shigeko Hate is a salarier for small and medium-sized enterprises, less than five years of his career. Doesn't seem like much help.

Still, if he came up with any useful ideas, in an attempt to make recommendations to Aura or Secretary Fabio, Yoshijiro remembered the story of water damage in a corner of his head.

Octavia, who sensed a paragraph in the story about the weather based on what was going on with Yoshijiro, returns to the main point of the lesson, which was out of line.

"Now, Master Zenzilow. Are you sure you want to continue with your magic class?

"Oh, okay. Also, 'meditation'?

"Yes, meditate on your eyes, and remain seated in nature, and be aware of me as' let's see '"

"Hmmm......"

Sanjiro meditates his eyes as he is told and focuses his consciousness.

It is this time of 'meditation' that I find most boring and unproductive in Octavian lectures. In this way, as you continue to meditate, you suddenly wake up to the ability to see magic, but what you are actually doing is just meditating on your eyes for nearly an hour.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most boring and prolonged time I feel in the everyday life of Yoshijiro.

It is also a convincing story that the most difficult thing to do to awaken a child to magic is to do this meditation every day. Even Yoshijiro, a grown man, is in pain. It is quite impossible to allow a child under the age of ten to continue meditating without moving for an hour each day.

"I vulgarly say 'eyes open' that magic will be visible. As the saying goes, the moment comes in an instant. Until then, it may seem barren and unresponsive, but its daily efforts are slowly pushing up the third eyelid."

…………

I've been hearing this word for over eight months now. It's a word I have no idea how it feels, but it's probably true because even when I asked Aura, she said, "That's what the early days of magic mastery are like".

Nevertheless, I've been concerned about the rainstorm called Zazar for a while now, and I can't concentrate my consciousness. Isn't it pointless, such as meditation in this state?

(Oh, with that said, it's been a long time this afternoon, and neither I nor Aura had any plans. When I get home, let me hear Aura's tummy. It's getting a lot bigger now)

Recently, Yoshijiro, who is more excited than anything to hear the sound of my child's movements with his ears on his belly, thought about it then.

"I'm closing my eyes," a strong light pierces Yoshijiro's sight.

"Guh!?

"Master Zenzilow?

Mrs. Octavia looks worryingly excluded from this one in the sight of Yoshijiro, who accidentally quit meditating and opened his eyes.

"How are you, Master Zenzilow?... Hit me."

You realize something, get yourself out of the chair a little bit, and Yoshijiro controls the tutor who asks so.

"Oh. Probably just as you imagine. It's in my eyes now, the landscape. The light that is rising from you or my body. Is this' magic '?"

In the sight of Yoshijiro, who answers so, there was a full smile of Mrs. Octavia laughing with joy as she stood up like a mist a strong light from all over her body.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

That afternoon, in a room in the rear palace I was using as my living room, Sanjiro, who was reunited with his wife, Aura, retreated one step back, in a drawn shape, as if he had met a tiger all over the city.

Aura leaned her neck strangely for a moment at the condition of her behaving suspiciously husband, but immediately came up with a reason for doing so and laughed niggardly.

"From the way it looks, you can apparently really see the magic. Congratulations."

Speaking of blessings by his wife and regaining a little calm, Yoshijiro returns the words as he approaches his weighty wife with a cold sweat on her back and lends her a hand.

"Oh, yeah, thanks. Thanks to you, I can finally see the magic. And that's amazing. This is the magic of real royalty."

Sanjiro, who draws Aura's hand, utters a word of admiration and fascinates himself with the magic of rising from his wife's body.

Mrs Octavia, the magical tutor role, was entangled in isolated magic compared to the samurai of the rear palace, but even so she had only about half that magic compared to Shinjiro herself.

For this reason, I was quite convinced by Octavia's saying, 'If you are royal enough to use pedigree magic, you have an exceptional amount of magic,' but compared to Aura in this way, I know very well that you are nothing more than a frog in a well.

"Only my triple increment, if I suck, is it about four increments? I don't think we can even get a five-cent increase in boulders."

Aura, drawn by Sanjiro and slowly lowered back on the couch, takes one breath and answers her husband's words.

"Well, I guess that's about it. My magic is relatively high among the historical Karpua royalty. Thanks to this, even" space-time magic ", which consumes a lot of magic, can be repeated unless it is such a big spell. Thanks for your help."

After about seven months of pregnancy, Aura's stomach is so bloated that no matter who sees it anymore, she can tell at a glance she's pregnant.

Yoshijiro answers as he pours hot water from the electric pot and adds cocoa brought in from Earth for his wife to relax on the couch in a relaxed dress.

"Am I only a 'quasi-royal'? Yeah, I realized that."

"You won't be so pessimistic. If I had that much magic, I'd be able to use" Moment Travel "twice a day if I were one of them. If we can do this, we'll be recognized as a single user in the Karpua Royal Family."

"I see, you mean critical alone. Well, considering my blood muscles, is that still a big enough thing? Yes, this. You'll drink."

Aura receives a mug with warm cocoa, handed to Sanjiro, and nods small.

"Um, let's get thankful. Well, that's what you say. What I had originally hoped for was a minimum amount of magic that would allow the next generation to inherit pedigree magic. It's nothing but survival to be able to use space-time magic while bending over."

That's what Aura said back as she sipped the contents of the hot, sweet mug.

The lowest temperatures in the Karpua kingdom are in the three months before the rainy season, but the rainy season, which is experiencing rain, feels colder physically.

Warm cocoa and coffee will be preferred to ice-floating drinks in the Karpua Kingdom only in the first month of this rainy season.

Whether it's the effect of pregnancy or the effect of exercise restrictions on pregnant women, Aura, whose fingertips have been scratching lately, holds to wrap a warm mug with both hands and warms her fingers with that heat.

Yoshijiro, holding a mug with instant coffee for himself and sitting down next to Aura, sighs heavily.

"Well, do I have to think that space-time magic is as good as it can be used yet? Oh, with that said, Octavia said," After this, I know it would be more appropriate for His Majesty to learn ", but what do you mean?

When the queen stared narrowly at her husband, who tried to move forward positively, she opened her mouth with a look that she was eventually good at after a little thought.

"Oh, the first magic to remember magic manipulation. Sure, that's my share. With that much magic, it's catastrophic to use four magic tricks."

"What do you mean?

Explain carefully and plainly to the husband who tilts his neck.

"If you can see magic, the next step is magic manipulation. Finally, it's the right magic technique to activate a spell. In order to remember this feeling, we begin by practicing with a spell of consuming magic that is closest to his" Drooling Magic Volume. "

With that said, Yoshijiro remembered the story that the magic of this world doesn't activate with too little or too much magic that can be included.

Simply put, for a beginner with fifty magic powers in a drooling state, the easiest magic to activate is fifty magic consumed, and the small magic of consuming one is as technically difficult as the great magic of consuming ninety nine.

"Oh, I see. As a royalty, there are enough magic in the public at the lowest level to trigger the four magics associated with my" magic power of drooling, "which could be catastrophic."

The four great magic, as its name suggests, is the magic that produces or manipulates the earth, water, fire, and wind. No matter which attribute magic was activated, quite a great deal of damage is expected in the rear palace.

"That's the thing. Compared to that, the Karpua Royal lineage magic, Spacetime Magic, consumes a lot of magic and has a lot of plain looks. But it's better to keep the first magic you remember for magic manipulation as" space-time magic. "

The explanation of Aura, who stood on his muscle path, was also easy to understand for Sanjiro.

"I see, if that's what you mean, I get it. Well, that's quick, but now, can you tell me? What do you think would be a good first spell for me to practice?

For his first use of magic, Sanjiro, unable to hide his exalted feelings, asks his wife, who sits next to the couch, to embark on herself.

"Mm-hmm. Dr. Michelle forbids me to use" The magic of the mobile system is bad for the foetus. "This is also excluded because 'time system' consumes stupid high volumes. When it comes to it, is it still the 'junctional system'? Zenzilow, put your left hand in my right hand."

"Uh, like this?

On Aura's words, Yoshijiro honestly offered his left hand and superimposed it on Aura's right hand. Just like a mirror copy, Yoshijiro's left palm meets Aura's right palm.

Aura then gazes at the amount of magic that rises from the overlapping hands of herself and her husband, squeezing the amount of magic that rises from her own body and bringing her closer to the amount of magic that her husband has.

"What is the amount of magic drooling... um, roughly this much? Now when it comes to activatable magic..."

Having roughly grasped the magic amount of Yoshijiro's drooling, Aura recalls in her head a spell that can be activated with that magic amount.

Eventually, Aura comes up with a spell that she sees fit, letting go of the hand she was working with.

"Uhm. This is probably the easiest part. There shouldn't be any harm, but don't move for once. Let's go."

"Oh, wait a minute"

Turning that down, Yoshijiro, who controlled Aura, who started casting a spell, quickly turned to the shelf in the corner of the room and came back with a digital camera in his hand.

"Because of this, I'll keep the spell on tape. That way later, I can use it for practice. All right, fine, Aura. Start."

"Um, let's go."

With her body in digital camera video mode, Aura begins casting a spell while keeping her body on the couch.

"Cut the world in a spherical shape, based on my fingertips. At the price of this, I offer three hundred and fifty-nine magic powers to the Sky Fairy."

It's a strange thing to hear a magic language over and over again. Even though Aura only seems to have moved her mouth a little, in Yoshijiro's ear, she can hear the words for a long time.

While Yoshijiro was thinking about it, Aura's magic worked.

A dome of hemispherical light is formed so that Aura and Yoshijiro sit side by side, completely covering the black leather sofa.

"Heh. Wow."

"Simple junction magic. Block outside interference by disconnecting spaces. The defense is strong, but it doesn't last long with magical constants. When used in practice, combined with time steering, it's useless if you don't deceive the effect time."

The junction could not disappear while Aura was so explaining to Kyorokyoro and to Sanjiro, who looked around.

In Yoshijiro's physical sense, it doesn't seem to have lasted thirty seconds. Well, this would certainly limit the use.

However, the range of effects is narrow, and when activated, it does not cause damage to the surroundings. It seems user-friendly for practice magic.

"All right, let's give it a try."

Yoshijiro quickly plays the video he just took to confirm the spell Aura used.

The sound recorded on the machine does not work by the Spirit, so it is possible to know the correct pronunciation of the magic language.

"Mootimva"

"Uh... Myotimba, is it?... Seeing where the Spirit doesn't translate, isn't it? After all, magic is hard to pronounce."

Quickly, I'll play the digital camera and try to mane the spell Aura used now, but magic language is not easy enough to pronounce correctly on the spot.

"Well, that's the right pronunciation practice for the spell for a while. Normally, to remember the correct pronunciation of magic language, a person who hits a master suppresses his magic so that the Spirit doesn't activate and tells him over and over again, but if he does, he has that 'digital camera', so it's pretty advantageous."

"Yeah. I'll spend my spare time alone practicing. Whatever it is, if you can't pronounce the spell correctly, there's nothing you can do."

With that said, Yoshijiro turned off the digital camera and placed it on the table. Now that we have taken the first step in the use of witchcraft called magic vision, we have a desire to practice magic, but we can't just put that on.

"Well, like that, this morning, my magic mastery has finally progressed a bit. How'd it go over there?

Aura rides honestly and answers the conversed topic of Yoshijiro.

"Right. This one, during the morning, proceeded with secret talks with the envoys of the two kingdoms. In the near future, I think I'll be able to get to the point where I sign an intimate text. You're going to have to be present at the signing place."

"Copy that. It's not that I don't trust Aura, but I'll let you check the text before the signing ceremony."

Basically, in terms of how I shake myself, I am Sanjiro, who is in charge of Aura, but I can't leave everything that far to the boulders. For once, the course of the negotiations is Sanjiro, who is hearing from Aura each time, but without looking through the final documents, a glimmer of anxiety will not be allayed.

When signing a document, read the text at least three times, never convinced by self-interpretation of the doubts, and make sure that it is all with the other party. For better or worse, it is common sense that is stained with the body and mind of Good Jiro.

The Queen truthfully agrees with her husband's most insistence.

"Okay. But you haven't been able to read the letters of this country yet, have you?

"Yeah. I'm practicing by typing tax paperwork into spreadsheet software, so I can read words that represent geographical names and numbers in the country, but the official paperwork is still good for you."

Sanjiro answered with a little excuse and shrugged his shoulders small.

It's been less than a year since Yoshijiro came to this world. In such a short period of time, if he had the language skills to decipher the official documents of the exotic, then by now Yoshijiro would be a freely manipulated triangle of English and German.

"Then I'll read it out next time. If anything bothers you, don't hesitate to say it. That's a big deal for the future."

"Yeah, 'cause I'm not gonna shy away from all this on the boulder"

"Uhm. In the worst case scenario, you may postpone the signing of the treaty. That's about it. Speaking of things unusual afterwards...... Oh, yeah. Natural Heavy Cadet (Trona Ore) is likely to be available. The burial grounds are not the direct domain of the royal family, but the territory of a certain frontier uncle. Now we can start developing glass manufacturing technology."

"Wow, I hadn't given up yet..."

At one turn, to Aura with a niggle and a grin, Yoshijiro muttered so, as if he was a little shuddered.

Heavy Cao is one of the three ingredients of glass introduced in a TV show. The other two are white sand, lime (baked seashells), so if the sight of Heavy Cao is set, the ingredients will be all set.

It had been established that it had already been discovered somewhere in the southern continent, beyond the spiritual work of the unique noun natural heavy cadet (Trona Ore), but Aura turned to the nobles and his knights to find out where it was.

There is of course a good reason for Aura to do that and burn her willingness to make glass. Apparently, Aura, in negotiations with the two kingdoms, was convinced that glass balls were an extremely good medium for 'granting magic'.

"Naturally. It is highly unlikely that my child will be able to use Grant Magic, but it will not be strange for the blood muscles of the Karpua royal family to show up with Grant Magic anytime soon. For that time, we need to keep the glass manufacturing technology going."

That's exactly what Aura says.

Either it is a stability-oriented Aura, but it is still the queen of the kingdom of Karpua, the great power that has been the winner of the war. For the sake of national strength enhancement, we have the talent and the metrics to just turn our hands behind the table.

"But in the worst case scenario, I think there could be a future where the technology of glass making spills over into the two kingdoms and no granting magic users show up in the Karpua kingdom? Wouldn't it be awkward if it did?

As far as I can think, Aura honestly shook her neck vertically to Sunjiro, who tells her about the most inconvenient future.

"Oh, sure, that's not good. But to put it that way, more than glass is a manufactureable substance, even if we don't have to study that technology here, it could be independently developed by both kingdoms. I know it's quite unlikely, but I've already given Princess Isabella one beeball.

If this one establishes glass manufacturing technology first, it may be possible to have some say in the Double Royal Marquis as a glass-exporting country, even if it does not create a user of granting magic.

Besides, the use of glass is not the only magical medium to grant it. "

That's how I answered and pointed my gaze at the corner of the room.

Aura turned her gaze to a bottle of brandy she had drunk before and to the mirror she used every morning when shaving her beard.

If we can monopolize the manufacturing techniques of such glass finishing, it can also be a pillar that supports the national treasury.

There's no big mistake in what Aura is saying, but I seem to expect a little too much from Yoshijiro. What Yoshijiro has at his disposal is just a DVD of a project that challenged glass production, and he doesn't have the technical know-how.

In fact, soda ash (sodium carbonate) is better than sergeant (sodium bicarbonate) to manufacture clear, bubble-free glass, but such knowledge does not appear in DVD either.

I can't imagine how much technology must be advanced to get the right amount of clear, undistorted sheet glass that can be used for brandy bottles, let alone glass mirrors.

"Mm-hmm. Well, we know the raw materials and the general way to do it, so if we take years to improve our technology in a triand-error way, we can all do quite a bit of that, I wonder?

Still, you thought it was a bad idea to water your ambitious burning wife, line up as optimistic a word as you can, says Yoshijiro.

"I'm fine. Neither do I expect results that easily, nor do I intend to entrust the nation's vital numbers to new technologies that are uncertain. The budget that goes into glass manufacturing is part of the budget that floated in fraud detection. If it works, I'm gonna make some money."

Aura replied with a smile as she encouraged her husband to tilt his neck at his lack of confidence.
