Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

A few days later, Ichigo, along with Isaac, was coming to a lumber mill under construction in the streets.

Inside the nearly built building is a lumber mill, and outside is a powered water wheel.

The sawmill is a vertical sawmill that allows the saw to reciprocate vertically.

The heart rod extending from the power water wheel into the cabin is fitted with a wheel, and the lumber mill is placed as it crosses over its wheel.

The wheels are filled with movable bronze plates called cranks.

This is a structure called the crank mechanism, which is the same as the one used for the cylinder part of the automobile.

The crank moves up and down as the wheel rotates, and by pushing and pulling the piston installed on it, it converts the rotational motion into a linear motion.

"I'll move it now, please wait a moment"

When Isaac ordered the craftsman to move the water wheel, the sawmill saw began to go up and down.

The movement is slow and not significantly different from what people move with their hands.

"If you move it too quickly, the operating part will wear out, but with this degree of speed, it doesn't seem to be a problem. I also insert oil as directed, so I think it will last."

"Hmm, is the rest of the problem about the durability of the Scarecrow blade? Still, this sawmill seems to have good accuracy."

From what I've seen, there seems to be no problem, and I think I can use it for actual work as it is.

Wonderful work whether it was made by a group of skilled craftsmen.

"That's the best sawmill you can do. Groups that did not produce well have their work interrupted, but are you sure you want to dissolve the group and assign personnel to other groups?"

"I'm worried that that won't hurt their pride...... oh, is there anything from the group you said before, redesigned?

"Yes, I have it ready. So that's what you have on the edge."

Looking at Isaac's pointing, a sawmill was placed that looked slightly different from the others.

The place where the wood to be cut can lie is supplied with a belt made of leather.

The belt had the same structure as that attached to the trousers, a mechanism that allowed the length to be adjusted by the thickness of the wood.

If we don't secure the wood with this belt, it would be dangerous to jump when the saw blade gets caught in the wood.

"Shit, you didn't even turn your head about the fixture...... is that possible that most parts are fixed with crust?

"Yes, I hear that nails make it difficult to disassemble when defects occur and damage parts, so I almost used crust to secure them"

Isaac answered with a slight nervousness, as he was stripping his eyes in surprise.

The crust we're talking about here is a fixed part with a diagonally cut wooden plate.

It is a fixing method that plunges the wood that is cut diagonally into the junction, and because of the very wide area of contact with the part to be joined, it can exert a slight strength well above the nail.

Exquisitely crafted crust becomes integral with the wood it joins, so no loosening occurs at all.

It is a common method of bonding in Japan, and if you look closely at wooden chairs, tables, etc., what is fixed with crust can be quite familiar.

"This is amazing...... I mean, was crunch something normally used? Surely without Kanna...... oh, because Slicer is on the market"

It is very useful to have cannabis (a tool for sharpening the surface of wood) for processing and finishing crust.

Lately, there were slicers on the Isteria market that were similar in shape to Kanna, so Ichiyana was convinced that they would have hinted at it and made Kanna.

The crusty punched holes penetrated the other side, so that they could be removed if they hit a plate or something from the opposite side of the punched and crunched with a wooden gavel.

It seems to be made quite precisely, and I don't see any gaps from anywhere.

The junction surface where the tip of the crust should have popped out is beautifully finished flat.

"This sounds maintainable. Besides, you see traces of your efforts to make the structure as simple as possible. You're doing great..."

"He also developed a machine called an ore crusher that crushes ore. We don't have any in kind here, but we keep the drawings."

"Are you serious? That craftsman is amazing...... I wonder if you came up with something like a lumber mill or something"

"He's a very smart guy, and there's something to keep an eye on when it comes to designing and manufacturing machines. If you put yourself in the right position, I'm sure you'll make a difference."

"Right, I'd love to see you once. Can I get you to call it in? If you're busier, you can let me go."

If you are such a smart and skilled craftsman, it would be a shame to keep you as a city craftsman.

As a craftsman's head that brings the craftsmen together, I would like to entrust them with the manufacture and development of machines.

"That seems like a lot of appointments are being made right now, and I think it's hard to meet them right away. I will summon you to the mansion for your convenience, may I wait until then?

"Oh, then I'll go out. Might as well have Mr. Zirconia or Liese follow me."

"Yes, no, that person lives a little far from the city, and it takes time to get there. I'll adjust it for you. I'd like you to wait."

Like a little rushed, Isaac says.

It was a slightly unnatural answer, but Ichigo was more surprised by the content of the story than it was.

"What, you're not an Isterian craftsman!

"Yes, there seems to be someone else who is good besides Isteria. He's very motivated, so I'd love to work under Master Kazura."

Surprisingly peeling, Isaac nods with a smile.

"Oh well, there are other craftsmen besides here. Should I have turned my attention to other cities...... what is your personality like? I hope you're not a hard man."

"He's very honest and cares about his surroundings. Plus, it's positive and bright, so I'm sure I feel comfortable with Master Kazura."

"Oh, good. I'd like to see you soon."

"I'll tell that person what you say now. He also wanted to see Master Kazura, so I'm sure he'll be ready in a hurry."

"Oh, you know me?

When Ichigo tilted his neck, Isaac waved in a panic.

"Yes, no! When I asked you to make this machine, we chatted a little bit about the city! I talked a little bit about someone from another country offering me technology."

"Really? But I was relieved that you seemed to cooperate. I look forward to meeting you."

Isaac was relieved to admire the lumber mill.

Around that time, in the talking room at the Narson Mansion, Reese sat opposite Nibel and the couch.

Nibel offered to meet with me about a commercial transaction, and I'm alone in the room because I'm paying for it.

In contrast to Reese, who smiles, Nibel has a much blushed look.

"Hmm. You think you can put the salt back to its normal price?

"Yes."

When Nibel looked at Reese as worthy, she deliberately tilted her neck.

"Excuse me, Isn't Istaire Territory's finances pretty tight? I wonder if reversing the price of salt here would be a big problem for Master Narson."

"That's true, but even in Gregorn territory, the weather is irregular and the production of salt is irresistible, right? Then you can't bother Master Nibel with my selfishness. Don't worry, we're going to try to cut ourselves in."

"... Really? No, we're in a tough situation right now, too. If that's what Master Liese is going to say, I think I'll make some adjustments..."

When Nibel answered that, she roared to think in arms.

Reese waits for the answer and stares at him.

"Then I think we should put the price of salt back to its traditional level and also reduce the volume of transactions by about 50%. I also think that in the future we will make a direct deal with Clayrats. But then, even if the weather returns, we won't be able to make a deal like before.... Are you sure?

Reese grinned at Nibel, who said with a thin grin.

"Okay. This one's fine, don't worry."

"Become...!

"May I help you?

To Nibel, who lost her expression for a moment, Leese deliberately makes a decent look.

Nibel coughed once as she hurried to fix her expression.

"Or, the price is less than the original, and once you reduce the volume of the transaction, you don't know when you'll be able to revert to the original volume."

"Yes, unfortunately, you have no choice."

"If Master Reese is willing to help, as always, at the price of two discounts... no, I'm not too hesitant to discount another 10%"

"I'm sorry. I've been busy lately, and I can't afford to help you."

When Reese answered, Nibel turned her angry gaze to Reese.

"... do you have any idea what the consequences of turning down my offer in this situation would be?

"Of course it is. It's hard to lose income from wholesale, but I'm going to invest in other areas to make it up to you."

"If the salt trade decreases, prices will soar and the people will be even more in need. Plus, if the price hikes and rumors spread, the Istaels could be blamed by the people."

"... rumors, is it?

As Reese narrowed her eyes, Nibel's face became more distorted.

"It's for example. If all of a sudden there was less salt on the market and prices started to soar, I don't think it would be strange to hear rumors that the Istails had caused something to go wrong. It can also be disturbing to increase people's frustration during times of economic hardship."

……

"But with Leese's help, the volume and price of the transaction will remain set aside as usual. In addition to that, promise to sell to the Istell family in a few months' time for three discounts over the normal price. If we can make more money from wholesale to Clayratz, we should be able to turn that money around to businesses in the territory. I hope your parents will be pleased?

"Cooperation is what the hell am I supposed to do?

Reese's words stained Nibel's expression with joy.

"Can you understand that? Just satisfy me a little bit, that's fine."

"... disgusting"

"... what?

To the pompous Nibel, Reese turned to a look of heartfelt contempt.

"I said it was disgusting. Do you seriously think I'm going to ride such a joke suggestion?

At the same time that Reese was finished, Nibel stood up with a blue muscle on her forehead.

Reese has a chilled look, staring up at him.

"What's going on? You don't seem to have a superior complexion?

As Reese provoked further, Nibel walked slightly over to Reese, distorting her expression.

Stop in front of Reese sitting on the couch and stare at Guillaume and Reese.

Reese was not frightened and looked back at him with a kick.

"Don't get too well. You know what you're talking about?

"Turn around. Who are you talking to?"

At the same time that Reese was finished, Nibel reached for Reese's mouth silently.

Reese reflexively sticks her right hand into the cuff of her left hand and pulls through the dagger she had hidden.

It was at the same time that Nibel's hand slightly touched Reese's mouth and Reese's dagger was stuck in his throat.

"Ugh," he leaked and followed him backwards. Reese stood up and hunted him down to the couch behind him with a blade stuck to his throat.

I sat on the couch again like I was falling. I just hit the tip of the blade slightly on Nibel's throat and twisted her wrist hard.

On a small wound, a ball of puffy blood floated.

"Hih."

"... What did you try to do now?

It was Liese who said quietly and in a cold tone, but she was terribly upset inside.

I wonder if the sound will leak outside my body, and my heart is hitting the early bell abruptly.

He forced it to crush and kill it, staring at Nibel without changing any expression.

"I have endured desperately so far, but I will stop now. Don't ever come to me again."

"... Huh!

To Nibel, who still turns a sharp gaze, Reese twists her dagger small again.

The wound spread slightly and the red muscle flowed down his throat.

"Ya, stop."

"Did you hear that? If it seems hard to speak, may I make you another mouth down your throat?

"Wow, okay! Okay, so stop it!

When Reese heard the reply, she pulled a dagger and stepped down.

"I'm glad you understand. Please, take care and welcome home."

When Nibel put her hand around her neck, she turned an angry look at Reese when she saw her own blood on the palm of her hand.

"How dare you do this... you'll regret it!

When Nibel told him to throw up, his footsteps also left the room rough.

Reese stared at the door for a while, exhaling deeply and kneeling into the spot.

"Oh, it was dangerous..."

Reese was surprised at herself when her body moved there often.

Nibel's attitude got to me too much and I accidentally gave it back with a provocation against the threat, but I didn't expect it to grab me.

If I had been grabbed like that, I would have been relieved to think.

I sneak a small dagger on my left hand sleeve from day to day at the suggestion of Zirconia, but without this I must have had terrible eyes by now.

He would have been held to his mouth and humiliated without even being able to call for help.

But if I hadn't even provoked Nibel, this wouldn't have happened.

If this is the case, whatever they say, I should have escorted him to see him and kept him from talking about the salt deal.

"... why are you shivering? To someone like that."

Realizing his body was shaking small, Reese bit his lip.

Make sure to hold your body with both hands and take a big, deep breath to calm your feelings.

When I managed to regain some peace, I put my dagger back in my sleeve.

"... let's go to Kazura's"

I told him to get back on his feet and leave the room early.
