○ Month × Day

I visited the Mage Guild's workshop on this day.

Since increasing the production of the magic meter, a workshop has been set up in the Magician's Guild.

There is not only a workshop, but also a working space where the workshop is operated, an office space where reports are prepared, and a laboratory where the work is moved.

I had quite a lot of space from the guild, but this was also for my track record in making magic meters.Of course, the same is true of the support of national magicians, but since they existed, subsequent development projects are proceeding smoothly.

Thanks to the instant boiler, you can drink tea whenever you like, and thanks to the refrigerator, you can store food and drinks easily.The light source, brilliant glass, is lit with a single switch, which saves the hassle, and thanks to the air conditioning, a modern work environment has been realized where you can comfortably engage in business even in the summer.

It is arguably the most environmentally friendly workplace in this country.

... well, I always work next to Black.There is nothing I can do about it by nature.

Recently, when I finished my lecture at the magic courtyard, I tried to go there as soon as possible.

I entered the government building and came to the front reception of the Mage Guild.

Suddenly, I heard a voice from the receptionist.

Eh, is this the place where I see you!

"Get the person in charge!"

"At home! At home!"Eekonghhhhhhhh! "

"My sick mother wants to see me at first sight!"

... the mage guild's counter was crammed with noblemen who loved new things, calling out something they didn't understand.I don't think air conditioning has anything to do with a sick mother.

At the desk, I apologize in my heart to the staff who responded to them, and I quickly head to the workshop I manage.

Heading out of the government building is a corner of the guild's property.

When I opened the door, the officials greeted me.

Lady Arkes!

Good morning!

“Good morning, everyone, and good day to you.”

I was greeted by the staff who were hired around the time of the magic meter production increase plan, which was the first phase of the launch of the workshop.Most of the people packed here were veterans who had first conveyed the refinement of their magic power, and their appearance remained almost unchanged.

That's all, it's hard to sort out the staff here.There is a risk of information leakage if appropriate people are brought in.The same goes for scandals, bribes, honey traps, etc.The danger isn't just that they're spying on us directly.

Be sure to include a masquerading squire in your drinking tours to downtown, or report on women's affairs one by one.There are some restrictions that completely disregard private life, but the officials have accepted the conditions, so there is no problem around there.

The negative portion is preferential in the provision of development products under the name of allowances and prototype use experiments.

"Dear Arkes, we have completed the prototype of the insect repellent stamp that was proposed before."

Ah! Thank you! You're finally here!

Insect repellent. In short, a hanging insect repellent plate, as the man calls it.

In the Kingdom, the development of insecticides by poison is already progressing, and insect attraction using brilliant glass is also considered, but there was no such type.

I appreciate this time of year.

"In summer, the mosquitoes are terrible."

"If this development is successfully on track, not only the peasants, but also probably the military will ask for it."

From the army? Why again?

During the march, insects can cause trouble.

Ah, are you going to be eaten by insects or eaten by food?

Yeah.

Surely, it is an enemy that cannot be overlooked.The army doesn't have to be fighting nothing but enemies.

Hunger, thirst, anxiety, climate, insects.

It is no exaggeration to say that most of them are fighting the environment around them.

I was thinking that I might need a marching set sooner or later.

"... what's going on over there?"

"This is an example." It seems that it is difficult to make straight without distortion, and what you want is still there. "

"I see..."

As for the internal groove, I'd like to discuss it with you.

"That's fine." It's difficult, isn't it?

Arks-sama is coming too?

"No, it's different from that one.I personally want to do research.Well then, I'll go to the workshop from now on. "

I said that to the staff, and I pulled into my own private room in the workshop.

That said, it's a small mirrored office in a man's world.

There are a variety of objects stacked on top of shelves and tables.They're all prototypes.I usually dispose of them, but I still leave behind ideas that could be used for something else.

Facing the design platform of the workshop.

What you write on paper is the information you need to make it.

What ingredients are needed and how much?

What kind of design should I make in the first place?

First of all, I thought I needed a mechanism to control the leakage of magic power.

We should make a switch that is automatically controlled so that the magic power it releases does not drift away.

What comes to mind are vacuum tubes and transistors.

Fortunately, the glass industry is thriving in the Kingdom thanks to the Brilliant Glass business, so it is not difficult to make containers.Engraving to increase strength, make glass tubes, and so on.

... I've learned something from my experiments so far.

The more magic you pour into the scroll, the faster it will transmit.

Then, of course, new challenges will arise.

It was a burden on the magic silver and its contact parts.

Since the scroll is hot, damage accumulates in various parts of the mechanism, and if left unattended, it will break.

Therefore, in order to reduce that burden, it is necessary to have the function of exhausting heat.

The idea of using heat-resistant parts for each part is also important, as is the idea of reducing the amount of heat generated.

However, it is difficult to mechanically reduce the amount of heat generated when it is a heat-resistant component.It was originally made to reduce the loss of magic power, and there was always a fever.

Improvements require the creation of heat rejection mechanisms or heat dissipators.

Iron, copper, aluminum, and ceramic may be candidates for materials.

Iron and copper are heavy, and refining on their own is impossible with aluminum.

There is no actual product, and if you try to do this, you can see that it will become a large business class.

Ceramics for heat dissipation are also almost impossible because aluminum oxide is required during aluminum refining.

Should engraving be misleading, or should something else be substituted for heat dissipating material?

"I wish there were some substances that could play a role like batteries anyway..."

Rather, if something like that existed, I didn't have to create a mechanism to suppress magic power consumption.

Regardless, I also needed to redo the magic calculations I used to do this.

The challenge is still a pile up.

I've never wanted a nutritious drink like this.

Sleep time is going to be cut off.I can't stop yawning these days.

Unusually, a guest visited the mansion on this day.

In response to a sudden visitor, Kazuy spoke the name of an unexpected person.

"Caldart Dimberg?"

"Oh, a nice-looking old man."I had the impression that my legs and hips were pretty solid for a geeky guy. "

"I've seen him before."

"Is that so?" I'm surprised you have an acquaintance. "

"Last time I went to the Dojo of Fine Sword Technique, it was a bit."He said he would come and say hello, but I didn't expect him. "

What is that? You don't even know each other, do you?

"That's right."Why did you come to say hello again in person? "

“Anyway, what do we do? I don't know him well in advance, and if I don't know him in particular, I think it would be appropriate to make excuses and push him back?"

"No, he's an acquaintance of Count Cremelia."Please wait for me in the reception room. I'll be ready to meet you. "

Saying that to Kazuy, he quickly groomed himself and made his way to the reception room.

When I opened the door of the tower room, a curious old butler sat on the sofa for the reception.

Definitely. I met Caldart Dimberg once at the Dojo of Fine Swordsmanship.

As we entered, Caldart stood up and thanked us.

Featuring wrinkle-free butler clothes and monoculars, the word "butler" fits perfectly.Since the spine is straight and the standing position is sharp, I think that the staff I have is actually a training staff.

"Mr. Dimberg, I'm sorry."Welcome to our Mansion. ”

"No, I'm sorry I pushed you this time without a break.Thank you for welcoming me here, even though I don't know Arks very well. ”

"This is the edge of what I've seen before."

"No. I would be grateful if you could say so"

When he smiles, Caldart returns his smile.

I walked and sat down on the couch opposite me.

Caldart looked at it and sat down on the sofa.

"So, Mr. Dimberg, what can I do for you today?"

"Yes, about that..."

The knock rang in the room as I tried to move on.

Then immediately, a voice came from outside the door.

"I heard that the customer is here."

The voice of the Lord was Noah.I was just entrusted with another job, but it must have gotten a little stuck.

When I called in, the door opened and the pathetic beauty immediately came in.

"Excuse me."

"Yeah. So, Noah, this guy..."

"This is..."

When he tried to introduce Caldart to Noah, Noah gave him a surprised look.

Meanwhile, Caldart stood up and straightened his spine.

And he bent his hips forty-five degrees, and bowed himself unto Noah.

"Boo-cha, it's shabby."

Huh? Fu-cha?

Nh? Fu-cha?

Boo-cha. I heard such unfamiliar words, and I let out a sloppy voice between Kazuy and you two.

Caldart bowed and greeted Noah.

Meanwhile, Noah looks a little embarrassed.

His eyes were meditating, and his face looked as if he was holding back from flushing as much as possible.

"Um... Grandpa (yesterday), I told you I wanted you to stop."

"Oh! I'm sorry about this.No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Caldart's attitude of being a real old butler changes, and he smiles as if his grandfather had a good smile.

From the attitude of the two of them, I could tell that they seemed to know each other.

"Hey, Fuma. I think I know Lord Dimberg, but what's your relationship to him?"

Yeah, I wanna know too, Boyd.

"... both of you"

When Kazuy and I sneezed together, Noah turned a blameworthy gaze.

Boy, it looks like you have good friends and colleagues.

"Caldart..."

Upon hearing Caldart's remark, Noah unusually looks like he has a headache.There were a lot of magic-related things that made him hold his head, but they weren't like this.

Noah tried to say something back, but immediately gave up and moved on to Caldart's introduction.

"Dear Mr. Arkes, this is Caldart Dimberg. I used to be a butler at my house."

"Once again, my name is Caldart Dimberg.Noah has served Noah's home since he was a child. ”

It's an inedible geezer, though.

Noah glared at him, but he was said to be cool.

I get the illusion that I am objectively looking at the interactions of some master or servant.

It's unusual for Noah to behave like this to others in the first place.

Anyway,

I heard that Caldaro is a master of fine swordsmanship.

"Yes, Grandpa won the honorary title with one sword."

One sword.

Of course, it's also true that you've developed your skills on the battlefield.

No, it's embarrassing.

Caldart is humble, but he is a great man.It is also the case that one person pushed the first generation to become a master, but it is not unusual to get the title of revered.

Then how about Noah's Fine Sword Technique?

"Yes, it's Caldart's work." Caldart taught me how to be a butler. ”

”Kihei! I thought you were from some noble family because you seemed to grow up well”

"That said, it's a small baron's house.It's not much different from ordinary people. "

Only a humble guy like that can come out of quite a place, right?

But I've never heard the name of an aristocrat like Ingvein.

"In terms of that, again, eventually."

When Noah finished the conversation, he turned to Caldart.

"More than that, Grandpa." Why are you in King's Landing?Why don't you hide in the north? "

It's been a long time since I've wanted to see Fang Chama's face

"However, I think it would be a good idea to come to Arks' Mansion just to meet me."Mr. Arkes is a busy man.We have to be considerate of your inconvenience. "

"No, I was surprised if there was such an exchange."It's more interesting if something unexpected happens in life.It's also a precaution in the face of unexpected situations. "

"You always keep your mouth shut..."

"Whether it's sarcasm or anything, the number of mouths is as many as the number of hands, the one that can get through life."If it's a trick that can tell you everything. "

There, a pin came.

Huh? Then why is Noah sticking to extra words every time?

”This is... this is weak.”

When I turned my gaze to ask Caldart, I returned a smile that seemed not to weaken at all on the back of my words.Rather, it looks like it would be fun.

Apparently, the culprit for Noah's superfluous remarks was here.

When I turned to blame, a sneer leaked out like a smile.

I came to see you before, and then I had a lot of time.

"That's a lot of invitations from people who can't refuse..." I'm sorry. "

"Caldart is a master of fine swordsmanship."There are many places where you want to have this kind of personality. "

He said he was being solicited by a senior nobleman.

"Haha, even an old man like this would be honored if he was taken care of."

The nobility is a culture of glory.Of course, that's not all, but it's also true that many people always want to take mounts to other aristocrats.The same is true for the purpose of taking advantage of politics.The same goes for building factions and gathering supporters.

If you subordinate a competent person, your master's reputation will naturally increase.It is easy to imagine that those who call out to such a prospectus did not stop thereafter.

"Grandpa, what are you going to do now?"Are you still going back to the north? "

"No, I'm going to be in the capital for a while."Nowadays, it's a daily routine to show your face at the dojo. "

"I see. Now, let me show my face once in a while."

Isn't your arm rotten?

"Who are you talking to?"

Well then, let's look forward to Fang Chama's sword technique, which I haven't tasted in a long time.

Caldart says that and laughs cheerfully.

Well, in the end, it seems that Caldart won't stop calling me Fuyama.

While Noah and Caldart were laughing, Caldart's expression suddenly turned into something gentle.

Boo-cha-ma

What is it?

No, I thought your face was brighter than before.

What does that mean?But Noah seemed to have a clue.

"... yes. In the end, my grandfather was right."

"That would be good." I must thank the mage of molten iron. "

"Caldart"

"I have a complicated part, too, but that's what Milord wanted."I know that I was happy as a warrior when I could choose to scatter. ”

…………

Noah stays silent as he looks out the north window.

Perhaps what we're talking about is a story deep in them.

After Caldart quit the Mansion, he was in the mood for a while.

"You've never met anyone other than your uncle who knows Noah."

"... there are so many things, there are only so many people I know."

Of course, I'd like to hear about the neighborhood.

“Yeah, I'll talk to you sometime.”

Yeah. I'm looking forward to talking about when I was a kid.

If you don't do that, you'll get a Noah-like cutback.

Well then, I look like a butler too. Do you want me to call you Mr. Arkes?

"Ugh... that's no good."

"Isn't that right? Moreover, even at this age, I will be called Bao-chai."It's not an accumulation. ”

"Yeah. Well, I feel sorry for you there..."

"Kihei! In this case, rather than telling me everything..."

"Hey! I won't tell you anything further!"

Kazuy tried to say something extra, but suddenly pushed it in and silenced her.

●

○ Month × Day.

A few days after facing the design platform.

For the time being, the tentative ones were completed.

Magic silver is used as a magic conductor, and an improved tube is used to create a part that holds it by hand.By avoiding direct contact with the scroll, heat is prevented from being transferred, while magic injection into the scroll (scroll) is carried out without touching the hand.

As for the heat rejection mechanism, we inflated the alchemy silver to expose the heat dissipation plate sequentially, but as a result of incorporating the idea, it became a sticky mechanism that I was not sure about.

…………

What was made was a rectangle that was just a little bigger and stuck to it.

If you ask others what this is, and they say, "It's a blunt weapon that strikes the enemy," you can't argue.The idea of creating something with excellent portability that I initially thought of was so difficult to carry and so difficult to handle that I decided to go somewhere.

There is no mobility at all, and it is troublesome to move around.You have to consider backpacking to carry it.

I wish I had a big shield, but because of the internal mechanism, I couldn't use it like that.

Moreover, she said that it didn't work when she tried it.

I loaded the packaged scrolls (scrolls) and injected magic power, but the magic silver filled in each part showed an unexpected expansion, and the scrolls (scrolls) emitted more heat than the figure calculated based on the magic silver, which was all unexpected.

And for some reason, magic was not established, and chanting became incomplete.

Luckily, the heat was properly discharged from the gap created by the expansion of the alchemy silver.

It's just...

(It seems that the magic power is consumed less than it was calculated.What's going on with this?)

The magic power consumed when using the scroll (scroll) was calculated using some small-scale magic to calculate the reduction ratio of the required magic power.However, it seems that there is a big difference between the ratio determined from there and the amount of magic power actually used.

After all, that's not enough chanting.

The rampant phenomenon that occurs when I keep pouring too much magic power has begun to happen.

It should be computationally correct.

Nevertheless, it was in a state of too much magic power.

Even though the magic power was damaged by the heat.

So, that's it.

"Hmm, what's going on?"

I appreciated the fact that I was using less magic power than I expected, but I still didn't like the calculations.

As a result, this experiment has caused more troubles.

The problem is still a pile-up.

Sleeping time will be cut off again.
