Risou no Himo Seikatsu

Chapter 10 2 [Second Magic]

Evening.

Having returned to the rear palace a little earlier than usual, Yoshijiro had changed to a ruffled outfit called T-shirt cotton bread on his bare feet as usual, resting his body on the couch in the living room.

The hospitality of Prince Francesco and Princess Bona is not as fatigue from work as it has recently become accustomed to. Instead, what is bothering Yoshijiro's head now is the 'side chamber problem' that Aura asked me last night.

Rationally it is an understanding of "what comes" but emotionally it is a reaction such as "do your best to find a way out".

"Aura is a superbly made daughter-in-law, so far she's a full family, but even if I'm wrong, I'm not a good person for treating women..."

Sanjiro, who sloppily deposited his back on the back of the couch, looks up at the dim ceiling as it is.

Of course, Sanjiro also intellectually understands that it is very common for high-ranking nobles and royalty to marry more than one companion. Especially in the southern continent, because of the royal equals' lineage magic, it may be said that royalty makes more children in a sense the greatest duty.

Furthermore, when there is only one royalty of a man who is an adult in the Karpua kingdom today, it is not Sanjiro who does not understand that there is legitimacy in the words of the domestic nobles, "Please, do your best to make a child first".

But being able to understand with your head is a completely different matter from being able to do it.

Aura thinks that there is "no emotional compromise" about Yoshijiro, but that's not all. To be more precise, "I don't think I have the vessel to just marry a side chamber," he also has a capacity anxiety.

You could say you know yourself. Keeping multiple women in deep relationships without problems is never easy.

Aura is out of the rear palace during the day because of her position as queen, but this is an exception. Generally, a woman who entered the rear palace once does not go out of the rear palace for rare things.

On the other hand, it was only recently that Yoshijiro also had more work to do in the Royal Palace, but still spent much more of his day in the Back Palace than in Aura.

As a result, it is predicted that there will be many cases where only Yoshijiro and the side chamber will remain in the rear palace without Aura.

Of course, saying that you will live in the same rear palace does not mean that the side room will be in the same building as Yoshijiro. But suppose it's a side room, so if you're spending time in the same backyard and you're entertaining it, maybe you should go see him.

But the side chamber is only the side chamber. Looks like she'll be in the side room longer than Queen Aura who hits her full wife, which would be a bad time externally.

"I mean, when the side room comes, I'll look up in the side room, but make it look more affectionate to Aura. But I also try not to undermine the mood of the side chamber... that there is no way I can build a relationship of such extreme difficulty"

There needs to be a visible disparity between Aura, the rightful wife and queen, and the woman in the side chamber. On top of that, and not to compromise the mood of the lady in the side room. If you can do that, Sanjiro has the talent of a rare host.

Of course, as a good jiro with no shards of such talent, I'd like to manage to shy away from such a difficulty falling on me.

"... Well, if Aura's prediction had hit me with Dompisha, I don't think I'd have to take the side room eventually, so I wonder if I'd still be that pessimistic. Besides, even if it's a side room that Aura admits to, he'll be somewhat solid."

That being said, Nor is Kojiro confident in his words.

I'm not questioning the aesthetic eye of Aura, my wife, or her concern. But Aura was the queen of the Karpua kingdom before she was the wife of Yoshijiro.

Even a woman who causes some glitches in the life of Yoshijiro is well placed to enter the side chamber if she decides that it would be of great benefit to the Kingdom of Karpua, or the Karpua royal family.

"Oh, I'm getting kind of serious about my position, 'Princess of the Deep Window'..."

The stupidity spilled out of the mouth of Yoshijiro was only slightly more serious.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

No matter how difficult you're facing, I can hold my breath thinking about it all the time.

Gojiro spent time in the living room with his wife, Queen Aura, before dinner was ready to bathe.

Inside the screen, a group of young men idols carry out a massive 'can kick' in the city against hundreds of ghosts.

The rules for can-kicking are simple. A ghost discovers a hidden participant, and if he steps on a can, that participant is caught. Conversely, if the participant kicks the can before the ghost steps on it, all the participants who have been grabbed until then may also escape. The ghost should not be the first to search for a participant until he has picked up a kicked can and installed it in its original position.

If you ask me, it's like playing "hide-and-seek" and "hide-and-seek".

In this case, if Yoshijiro tells me the rules, I can understand the contents even if I don't understand Japanese. Thanks to you, Aura sitting next to Yoshijiro sounds like a lot of fun too.

"Whoa, they found us. Now you're gonna get caught? Ooh, running...... oh, I knew I couldn't. Now how many of us are left?

"Uh, sure... two more, maybe?

Not so long ago, Yoshijiro, who wasn't eager to watch, answers that to his lack of confidence as he leans his neck.

It's time for the couple to watch TV. This is now valuable and a way to have a full time.

Yoshijiro realizes happiness just by feeling his wife's temperature sitting next to him on the same couch on his right shoulder. I'm glad to have my arm around my wife's shoulder here, but soon after this, we'll be in the bathroom together. For a while now, you better be patient.

"And it's also interesting to see the tools these people use. When approached, the light or sound sounds to inform the approaching of others. With this kind of stuff, it's going to be very useful"

"No, that consists of an agreement between the two parties, because we have a transmitter and a receiver, and it's not something that can automatically detect human proximity. Surprisingly, I don't know how to use it."

Even at a time like this, to his wife, who thinks about practicality, Yoshijiro returns the words with a bitter smile.

"Um, well. But don't be overwhelmed by the city you lived in. Honestly, it's hard to believe that all that architecture was made by human hands"

Due to the use of the entire city, the buildings in the city center can naturally be seen on the screen.

Disturbed skyscrapers. Fully paved roads in asphalt. And countless vehicles running through there. In Aura's eyes, it is almost also pictured in the divine world.

This is the second conversation I've had, but I don't feel bad about being praised for my native country, Sanjiro laughs a little better.

"Yeah, well, the world is different from this one. I felt the same way about Aura when I saw dragon seeds over here and felt magic."

Humans drive freely through dragons in the body that are more than twice as heavy as heavy horses, causing humans to set fire or produce water without even using tools. This world is harder to believe in in "Common Sense" by Yoshijiro. It's just the world of legends and stories.

"You mean the world is literally different, not metaphors. But I know it's empty, but I'm still jealous. Especially the tool called this automobile. With only a hundred or so large trucks, we can revolutionize logistics."

Around the time when a request is made for "a hundred cars" to say "just", that's the queen of the great powers. Would you say that it takes at least that much to have a meaningful influence on a country?

"Exactly because we don't all know how to make that. In the metallurgical technology of this country, instead of internal combustion engines, even steam engines are impossible to reproduce?

Suddenly out of his serious wife's tone, Yoshijiro, concerned that he might want it for once, stabs the nail so.

"Well, I guess so. I have no idea what the details are, but on the contrary, I know that they are so complicated that I have no idea."

"Yeah, I might be able to help a little bit more if you left engineering college, but my knowledge over there is because it's a high school stop. Honestly, even the bicycle principle is out of hand."

"When it comes to bicycles, that's the one you were riding when you first called the world? If so, I'll show it to the scholars and the engineers. I was very surprised."

"Oh, yeah. Something that might help?

"Um, even if it's hard to replicate the bike itself, the technology used there seems to have learned a lot. In some cases, it could be applied to something."

Bicycles are a lump of technology in that.

'crank' mechanism used for handles and pedals. A 'chain' mechanism that connects the pedal to the rear wheel. And the 'brake' mechanism that connects to the wheel from under the handle, etc. A number of unknown technologies are used in this world.

In particular, the crank mechanism is extremely simple and easy to reproduce in this world. If, in the simplest form, a straight iron bar is bent to ninety degrees in two places so that one side and three sides are parallel, that is the crank mechanism. A hand-turnable handle, a pedal around the foot, and a little further development will also result in a crankshaft that can convert circular motion energy into linear motion energy (or vice versa).

In time, the crank mechanism used for the steering wheel can already see similar structures in this world, for example at the rudder of the ship, but the idea of a foot pedal that turns the force of stepping into circular motion is not yet in this country. It could mean a lot in the near future as a force for manpower.

The advantage of the chain mechanism is that it is simply possible to connect the two circular movements to the forward rotation. If I want to substitute this with gear, I really need at least three gears because in two it will be reverse rotation. However, a substitute for a chain requires multiple parts of sufficient hardness in shape and size. Practicalization this one will still be a long way off.

In that sense, perhaps the closest thing to practical application is the braking mechanism. There is only something terribly primitive about the brakes currently used in dragon cars pulling the rough rope loose on the axes of the wheels.

Originally, unlike an automobile, a dragon running (or blunt dragon) is powered by an acceleration deceleration, so the braking mechanism is not that important, but if the dragon is left to stop from decelerating, the burden on the dragon is great.

A dragon car that stopped suddenly on a boulder hasn't been made as unusual as hitting a dragon's ass, but if the vehicle itself doesn't brake to match the dragon, the inertial force of the dragon car will definitely strain the dragon.

In that sense, the improved performance of the brake does not dramatically increase the performance of the dragon car, but it is never meaningless. It should reduce the burden of dragons towing dragon cars plain.

As such, while I'm running out of time, a samurai in charge of the bathroom reports that the Yukan is ready.

"Okay, let's go."

Shinjiro, who operated the TV remote to shut down the DVD, takes the LED lantern with his right hand from a nearby shelf when he stands up. And my left hand is on my wife's right hand.

"Uhm."

Neither shall his wife's right hand nor his husband's left hand be firmly gripped together.

The queen and his wife joined hands and walked out into the bathroom.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

After bathing, Yoshijiro, who dropped off Aura, who headed to the bedroom one foot ahead, was sitting in front of the computer.

It is a self-study time of magic and letters before bedtime.

"Okay, do you want to do that?"

So whining in front of the computer, Okijiro is working on a word registration for word processor software.

A long time ago, Yoshijiro registered the letters of this world in foreign characters so that they could be represented on his computer.

But that alone is very laborious to hit this worldly sentence with a computer. For example, suppose there is a five-letter word equivalent to "apple". In that case, it is necessary to repeat the conversion for only a few minutes by pressing the key that registers the letter a, pressing the key that registers the letter p to convert, pressing the key that registers the letter p again to convert.

Regardless of the short text, it would be easy to imagine how cumbersome this task would be if it were a long one.

In order to solve such problems, Yoshijiro registers words with Tips and Word Pro Software in order from frequently used words.

At first, personally commonly used unique nouns such as "Sanjiro," "Aura," and "Karpua". Next, the equivalent of "the" or "a" in English. Furthermore, prefixes such as "of", "to" and "in". And conjunctions such as "and," "or," "if."

To find time, thanks to a little word registration, it is now possible to convert quite a few words on a word by word basis without having to convert them one letter at a time.

The achievement has been, and the pace of hitting sentences on keyboards has increased considerably lately. Since he was in Japan, Yoshijiro has been a more accustomed person to keyboard typing than handwriting. Writing by hand is actually more effective to remember words and grammar, but as someone familiar with word processor software, letters want to be written on the display rather than on paper.

In addition, Yoshijiro uses spreadsheet software to create something like a simple dictionary that adds Katakana reading and Japanese meaning to the language of this world.

Again, there are still about a few hundred words registered, but they are becoming somewhat useful for studying letters on their own. In the future, if we look at the data in this spreadsheet software, we aim to be able to decipher any books.

Of course, if Yoshijiro himself had acquired language skills that did not require a dictionary before it was completed, he would never have gone beyond it.

While I'm doing that, I hear inorganic alarms from my computer.

"Oh, it's time."

That was the sound of an alarm app on the computer that Yoshijiro had pre-set to let you know that the prescribed time had passed.

There are countless words to register, so if you don't limit your time in this way, you'll be stuck too much. For that reason, Yoshijiro had set his own limits on studying the letters at night, no matter how bad the kili were, he would definitely stop in an hour. Even though, he is Sanjiro, whose nightlife is originally stained with him because of late night overtime. If I'm at all alarmed, the rhythm of my life will soon return to the old days.

The next thing Yoshijiro started by manipulating the mouse with a familiar hand was a separate file for the spreadsheet software and video data for the digital camera.

The digital camera video data is a magical demonstration video by Aura, and the spreadsheet software file describes the results of the magic success or failure that has been performed so far.

That data, which was followed by X at first, has only recently become ○.

The magic closest to the amount of magic that Yoshijiro's drooling power, or "Simple Connections," is the easiest magic to activate for Yoshijiro, has never failed here recently.

Aura also taught me, "In a general sense, it's okay to say 'mastered'". Incidentally, in a general sense, I can say no because even magic that has become readily available in these calm situations will cease to work at all in situations that are a little physically and mentally burdensome.

All you need to activate magic is "correct pronunciation," "correct amount of magic," and "correct perception." In this case, the problem is the "right perception".

If you can't draw the magic activated state clearly in the back of your brain, the magic won't activate. Simply put, a little distraction is out.

The real problem is, with the degree of sophistication of Kojiro, if you encounter a slightly more physically and mentally burdensome scene, the magic ceases to work at all.

Nevertheless, the next acquisition of magic is a higher priority than getting used to magical activation in stressful environments for Yoshijiro, who is basically not planning to leave the rear and royal palaces.

"All right, let's get started. Let's start with a review." Cut the world in a spherical shape, based on my fingertips. At the price of this, I offer three hundred and fifty-nine magical powers to the Sky Fairy. ""

The spell worked as normal. A thin, glowing junction was formed around him, centered on Sanjiro, who sits in front of the computer. It is the magic of 'Simple Connections'. The magic I have already acquired on a level that is not an exaggeration to say "mastered," but once I have time like this just in case, it is indispensable to review.

"Yeah, you're fine. Activated fine. The problem is…"

Sanjiro then casts a "second spell" when he wrinkles slightly between his eyebrows.

"Mavalzam......"

I meant to pronounce it precisely myself, but no translation was made by the Spirit. I mean, it was wrong somewhere.

"Oh, I knew I couldn't. Low success rate......"

Sanjiro sighs as he punches an X mark into the spreadsheet software. So far, only about once every twenty spells can be pronounced correctly.

"For a while, it's a pronunciation exercise, damn it. Magic power output adjustments and image training are behind us."

The practice of adjusting the output of magic power has yielded some results because I've been doing it all these days, but if I can't pronounce it correctly first, I can't help it.

The initial goal is not "magical activation" but "chanting of spells in which the Spirit works". Having so decided, Yoshijiro casts a second spell, noting only the pronunciation, that the amount of magic that rises from his body remains drooling.

"All right, then again... Muvavarzam... no. One more time, Mavaluzam... not this one either"

Eventually, on this day, the spreadsheet software had ten X marks lined up beautifully.
