Next day
In the end I didn't go to church in the city of Kereban. I hear there's a church in the city of destination, Giml, too, so let's go to that church over there. Until then, pray to the portable stone statue I made yesterday. Thus we thought today was a relaxing carriage trip...
"It's a little cold..."
"It's raining."
"It's rare to be this dusty this season."
"You're unlucky, area"
A few hours after we left the city, apparently we were in out-of-season dust. The roads are so wet that they shake heavily, and the progress is pretty slow.
It's been a long time since I've been so clearly unlucky. Ever since I came to this world, there hasn't been anything like that that I feel unlucky about, unlike when I was on Earth. It's in the carriage, and if it's about dust and sand, would you still be lucky? I thought so, but thank goodness that wasn't all.
The carriage stopped and soon one of the escorts arrived.
"Master Hall, apparently this rain is causing a cliff crash. We've confirmed from a distance that the road ahead is blocked."
"What? Is that true?"
"Yes, the road is completely blocked. Pretty big rocks and trees have fallen too and can't go through like this"
"What's the detour?
"It's a pretty long way from here, or I haven't been able to get confirmation, but there's only one informative path out there where the big bandits will be. Those with weather forecasting skills say the rain will stop in a few hours, so they will be able to get ready for the camp at a position away from the cliff collapse while waiting for the rain to stop and hit the dust removal work this evening and tomorrow will likely be the quickest way to get to Giml. I would like to turn to the judge of the Hall..."
Mr Reinhardt answers the words with a few thoughts.
"Right...... long journeys will be tough for areas unfamiliar with the journey, and I want to avoid roads that are dangerous. I'll adopt your judgment."
"Thank you. Get to work quickly."
The carriage moves out again. I heard it's because there's a tree that's going to be able to rainhouse just a little bit further, but I feel bad by the tree when it comes down to the dust... well, there's no thunder, okay? Let's keep at least 2m away from the tree for now. That will increase your safety against thunder.
Then about 5 minutes later the carriage stopped again and Mr. Arrone came in when the surroundings became rushed.
"We are currently in a hurry to prepare a camp. Please wait a while longer"
That was Mr. Arrone with a smile on his face, but in my eyes I see the escorts working behind Mr. Arrone as wet rats and I'm very concerned about you.
As for myself being in some ex-Earth black company, I want to help something, even if I know it's their job to be boggling when people are working, and I'm sorry if I know it's disturbing when amateurs get their hands on it poorly... No, there was a rainfall junction in junction magic, I hadn't used it for a long time and forgot. That won't get in the way of the work!
"Junction magic, can I use it?
"Suddenly what happened?
Well, it was too abrupt. You don't understand if I say that all of a sudden without explaining the situation.
"Outside, wet people, I'm here... Rain shelter junction... Use it to prevent rain. It's easy to work with."
"I see, that would be appreciated. If you do, they'll help you too."
I got permission, so I'll take out a coat made of one fur from inside the item box. The coat looks seemingly upside down because the fur is on the inside and the cloth is on the outside, but I wear it as it is. The outer cloth is coated with sticky slime adhesive that solidifies like resin when dried, making it a favorite rain gear that often plays water. The rainy day hunt has become exceptionally easier since this was done.
Get in quickly and activate the junction magic quickly when you get somewhat close to where people are gathering.
"Be a shield from the rain that wraps them up and pours on them."
When I cast a spell, a domed junction enclosing the people working on it prevents rain.
Since the junction and magic are invisible, people within the junction are surprised that the rain suddenly stopped, but Kamil, who is working, noticed and waved thanks. Other people have thanked me for that, but I will just wave and identify the next subject.
I can't tie a line so I can cover it all in one go, so I still have to tie a line in about four people's gatherings. We circle the boundaries in turn from close proximity, and then we also stretch them around the horse and carriage before heading back to the carriage.
"Good day, Mr. Lyoma"
"Good job......" Wave ""
Take off your rain gear while responding to the words of your concession and Mr. Sebastian, blow the surface water outside with basic water magic to keep the carriage from getting dirty, and get dressed with the warm tea that was provided when you returned to your seat. Doing so shifted the subject to my rain gear.
"I don't see that rain gear anywhere else, Lyoma, did you make it?
"Yes."
"It looked like he played the water very well, but was there a beast in the Ghanaian forest with that much water playing skin......?
"I applied sticky slime sticky liquid...... I just dried it. The water doesn't stain. I'll play the rain."
"Sticky slime adhesive has such an effect?
Oh, you didn't know?
"Didn't you know?
"You only know how to use sticky slime as an adhesive."
Really? Something glistened in the eyes of Lady Reinbach and his wife. This is a new discovery, too! How little research has been done on slime...
"Can I give that rain gear a try?
"If you want to try"
Remove several pieces of cloth from the item box.
"Processed cloth. I know very well that it doesn't pass through the water because it is thin...... worn out. But it's not dirty because it was processed after the cleaner slime."
It's originally a slice of bandit's clothes or a goblin hipster, so don't miss the mess.
When I gave him the cloth, he nodded the cloth to Mr. Reinhardt and Mr. Sebastian, not just to Mr. Reinhardt and his wife, and began to reach outside through the carriage window to expose them to rainwater flowing along the line of the junction.
"Ooh! I'm really playing the water!
"You don't have any water in you."
"There's a little bit of rainwater coolness, but like Lyoma-like rain gear, if you put fur on the inside, you're going to feel comfortable"
"Mr. Lyoma, work with us to develop products for rain gear..."
"Excuse me, can I help you?
As the four of them were testing the water repellency of the cloth, Mr. Arrone came and opened the carriage door. Apparently, he was sitting outside the carriage, in the rear, and if there was anything I could do for him, I should have handed him a signal.
"No, it's nothing. Lyoma, I was just showing you the rain gear you were developing."
"Really? Now if you'll excuse me."
That's what I said, I was about to close the door, and I noticed Mr. Arrone's clothes were wet. Mr. Arrone may have been out of the junction and doing some work, too.
I rush to stop Mr. Arrone while removing the bandit-like curtains (waterproof) from the item box.
"Wait a minute... Mr. Arrone"
"Yes, what did you do?
"I won't let this, rain or water through"
"May I borrow this?
"It's cold when wet, just weave feathers"
"Thank you. I'll borrow it."
Mr. Arrone smiled and thanked me and left, and we blossomed into the story of a waterproof cloth.
What I learned from the conversation is that when it comes to rain gear in this country, leather products dominate and tents and other large items take their place quite heavily. In contrast, the waterproof cloth is lighter because it is simply dried by applying sticky slime adhesive and folds more compactly than leather.
Rain gear is also easy to get dirty due to rain and mud when used more than it is rain gear. As soon as the material is leather, it gets dirty due to stains, etc. Mold and the like may also grow. Of course I take care of it to prevent it, but it takes a lot of work to get it dirty, oiled, dried...
In this regard, waterproof cloth plays water and dirt, so dirt resistant and can be washed with water. The creepy mud dirt, etc. is flushed with water, and when you dry it at the end of the day, that's fine. In fact, I always play off the moisture with the 'wave' of water magic, or just hook it up somewhere and dry it. Still, I don't have any problems.
At the end of the general description, we will be talking about exactly what it can be used for, suggesting raincoats, umbrellas, etc. from modern knowledge, asking about rain gear in this world...... I finally feel like a Temple Different World! Or when I realize I'm going in the direction of the Home Affairs Cheat at some point. Is the power I got supposed to be magic? Modern knowledge and products = Cheats in this world?
While we're talking about that, it looks like the tent is ready.... Honestly, I forgot I was waiting.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, but the tent is ready. And the others thanked you."
"You're welcome."
"How long before the rain stops?
"We have a couple of hours to go, Skilled says, so the rain stops and we start removing dirt and sand."
"Okay, until then, take turns taking the day off, and let the dirt wizard rest longer because it's going to be a big job"
Copy that.
That's what I said, and I dropped Mr. Zeph off on his way to convey the order. We're going into the tent. Surprisingly, the tent was large and luxurious with a large center and four small private rooms around it.
"I'm more tired of shaking today than usual, so take a rest."
"Yes, rest tight, I'll try later"
They give me a ride to the carriage for free, and I take care of the inn bill, and I have to do about this. It'll be my training, too. That's why I answered, but Master Reinbach has his neck clenched.
"Work hard? What?
"Soil magic, landslide...... will remove"
"I'll let the escort do it, so you can rest, okay?
"A lot, thanks for your help. It's for your own good too. Let me do it."
"Hmm... if that's what you're saying, why don't you let me help you? But if you're tired, why don't you take a break? I already have a series of magic of the kingdom, and the magic loss is painful."
Oh, you were worried about that. That feeling is very much appreciated.
"Thank you, I'll be careful"
hours from such interaction. When the rain stopped as expected, work began on removing the landslide. Around there were guards who could use dirt magic divided into several squads, gradually removing dirt and sand. Especially the squad working around the Soil Wizard is working on removing large rocks more efficiently than other squads by collapsing them with "Break Rock" and consolidating the soil and sand to a moderate size with "Rock".
When I say I mix there, I can do it somehow when I dig a forest cave. The synthetic magic of "Blake Rock" and "Rock", "Creative Block" is turning large amounts of soil and rock into brick large stone at the same time to carry them into slime.
I've found out since the beginning that the rest of us are magical separately with dirt and rocks, whereas I'm removing two at the same time, so the working speed was fast out of step. The only way to carry more blocks that can be done is with flow work by slime lined up like a bucket relay, so I just keep doing more and more magic. The work progresses with great ease and tremendous speed.
Seeing me like that, a man from one of the escorts called out.
"Do you have a minute?
"What is it?
"Mr. Lyoma, was it? How the hell are you doing with that magic? I'm not that familiar with magic because I can use dirt magic but my main business is swordsman... I've never seen that magic that can handle dirt and rocks at the same time. Why don't you tell me if you want?
"This is a magic called 'Creative Block'...... if you can use 'Break Rock' and 'Rock' maybe you can... Break Rock will turn rock into soil, Rock will turn soil into rock, right?
"Right."
"So imagine from rock to earth and from soil to rock as one process to magic.
That way the rocks in the magical range will be in the soil...... the soil will remain in the soil. It will all be rocks at once where it will be the next rock. … at this time, if you predetermine the size of a single rock, you can make it that size… in my case, it's this size because I can carry it to the slime "
I see. When a man nodded tried it on a nearby rock, there was variation in the size of the rock he could do, but he was brilliantly changing the rock and soil to a size he could carry at the same time.
"Whoa! I really did it!... It seems like you need to get used to aligning the amount you can do at a time with the size of the rock you make, but you seem to consume less magic than you do separately. Thank you, Mr. Lyoma."
"No, if it was helpful... good"
He asked me if I could teach the Creative Block to others as well, so if I allow one or two of them to change, the man would run over to the other earthwizards to teach the Creative Block.
As I silently work those escorts sideways, the sun starts to fall at some point and I go back to the tent because I was instructed that today's work is over. Then.
Welcome home, Mr. Lyoma.
Your wife welcomed me, but...
"Huh!
"You did your best! Mr. Lyoma!"
"Ha, let go... ku, kubi..."
My wife held me tight in the gap where she tried to say hello. Tight! My mouth and nose are buried in my chest! Please, let go...
"Ma'am! We're tightening up a bit of a dangerous position! Please let me go!
"Huh? Ah!
"Gee ho! Ha..."
"Sorry! I was fine!?
"Ha...... yes, I'm fine. Uh... Lillian,?
"Yes!
"Thank you. Helpful......"
"No, you're safe and above all. Your meal is ready, how are you?
"I'll have it."
That said, they will lead you to the table in the back room.
"Hey Lyoma, sounds like you did your best. Good luck."
"Can you eat? You don't have to, do you?
"Your health is fine"
"Well, I thought you were using a lot of magic?
"It was amazing, that magic. Creative Block, could it have been?
"Yes."
"Lyoma, thanks to your magic and your slimes, and to the fact that you taught that magic to the soil wizard of the escort, the removal of the dust and sand is going to be over a lot sooner than planned."
"That's good."
If you ask me, by the end of today's work, there will be one person who has made the Creative Block perfect and three people who have been able to use it quite a bit, and the overall work speed has increased significantly. By the way, the one person who made it perfect was Mr. Golce, the man who talked to me.
That's where the food came in, so we all start eating. Then Elia asked me this.
"Mr. Lyoma, how many magic powers does Mr. Lyoma have?
No, me, how much magic do you have now? I'm supposed to be getting more because I keep using magic...
"What's wrong?
"I don't know..."
"Huh!? Normally once by the age of 10 in church...... yes, Mr. Lyoma lived in the woods...... so how did you ever know the limits?
"In physical condition and sensation"
"Is that okay with you?
"If you get used to it, there's no problem. Normally, do you measure at 10?
"In normal families, I go to church on my 10th birthday and have my status measured. In doing so, look at the magic figures and decide if you want to be a wizard in the future. We noblemen did it on our 5th birthday and let them train early though.
Well, if you haven't had all that magic in a row and you're out of magic, you've got a lot of magic. "
From then on, he took a meal with various stories about his future plans and the city of destination, and after the meal, he was given a room in the tent. There is nothing more to do today, and tomorrow morning will be the removal of dirt and sand and the journey. I go into bed trying to get some rest early... but one thing bothers me.
During the meal, when we talked about my magic power. While we were talking about it, the lady watched me flicker. I wonder what you were looking at. Even if I notice the gaze, I don't see why you sent such a gaze.
There's only a little talk of magic... but it's starting to feel like I've been changed to not prolong. Did I say something wrong? I'm concerned. But I've already lost the time to ask.
Let's take a look at the opportunity one day and ask. Subtle, you can ask, but if you can't, after getting a little closer...
Speaking of which, how long has it been since you thought about it? My eyelids are heavy for a long time.
I decided not to go against my drowsiness anymore and stay asleep.
