"... so what are you going to do?

After listening to me, Candella Rio, who had settled down a little, asked straight about the destination of the story.

And I'm not going to hide anything else about it, and I don't have to deceive you, so be honest.

"What I'm thinking is, why don't you share the benefits of this magic device with us in The Tower?"

"Hmm...? However, this magic tool was developed by you. We didn't intervene specifically… you could have exercised that authority alone. If so, why share the profits?

This Candella Rio question will be most important.

If you have created something new, it is normal to think that you want to aggregate all the profits from it.

And beyond that, I'm pretty sure you don't think someone else would bite you.

If so, what I'm saying will sound strangely good to the people of Candella Rio and the Tower of Magic, only to them.

But this is a good story for me, too.

I'll tell you about it.

"There are several reasons. First of all, we talked about costs earlier, right?

"Yes, this magic device is a bit more expensive..."

Candella Rio said as she watched me play with my magic trick.

I nod and say to it.

"Exactly. However, I wonder if it would be possible to lower the Magic Tower technology and handlers that have traditionally produced and sold magic equipment for magic shields."

"Well, that's true. If this magic device can be made with our manufacturing technology, then."

Candella Rio tells her that she doesn't mind telling herself.

Of course, there's no way you haven't thought about that danger with me.

"We think we can solve that later."

We have a non-disclosure agreement, we often choose the technicians who produce the core parts, and we dispatch them in the first place.

"Hmm...."

"I've been thinking about it. Did you know that the magic artisan in Ichii is currently working to get closer to the magic equipment in the Tower?

"That's... I know that Ichii magic artisans are always working on it..."

It's nothing more than that.

It is only natural to say this.

This knowledge of mine was surfaced at the time of the War of Interests of the Magic Shield Magic Device.

In other words, it becomes knowledge of the future.

So Candella Rio doesn't know, he's just talking about a common effort.

So I say.

"I'm sure you're right to try, but it's not that, it's that we're systematically researching high-performance magic tools that can replace the magic tools in The Tower."

"... is that true?

My eyes were tingling because I felt a sense of crisis there.

I'll keep going.

"It's true. That said, it won't be as much a threat as it is now, but in the next ten or twenty years, it will be a force that can't be ignored at all."

In fact, that was the case the other day.

And I abused the situation and scratched around.

The result was a loss of trust in the magic equipment of the Tower, and the rise of the magic equipment craftsmen in Ichii and the merchants who were funding them.

From there to the revolution and the overthrow of the state... things didn't go so well around here.

I did a lot of other things, so it was only one hand, but I'm sure it was quite a scratch around this country, and the Magic Tower was definitely finished without much effort.

But if only I knew that this would happen from now on...

If Candella Rio, the Lord of the Tower of Magic, understands that...

I'm sure the future will change.

I don't intend to do anything like the last time in the first place, so it may not be as big a wave if I leave it alone as before, but I have only done enough to make the small wave bigger.

Leaving it alone is probably a few years late, but it is not hard to imagine that the same thing happened.

Candella Rio did not expect this, but it seems to have felt quite critical from my words.

"If that's the case... I see, we can't ask ourselves. However, how does this relate to production technology and costs....."

"In fact, as far as I know, their organization is still small. At best, a few visionary engineers tried to start something new. But there is a definite future... but few are still watching. What we need to do in this situation....."

"No way, are you going to take it in? A magician from Ichii. But aren't they working on development with something like hostility to our Tower of Magic...?

This is a dialogue from common values.

The Tower of Magic is a gold widow who hides his technology and sells it to aristocrats and rich people for a high price.

That's why Ichii's magic artisans make cheap and useful magic tools for their citizens.

It is said that there are many people who think this way.

"I can't deny that. But their thoughts on The Tower are in the first place unpredictable.

"That's... well. In the first place, all the magic tools we make are quite expensive. What we can offer at a low price is what the magic equipment craftsmen in Ichii and the junior magicians in the Magic Tower don't do as an organization to make and sell for pocket money and living expenses...."

"Isn't that right? I mean, I think. The Magic Tower and the magic artisan at Ichii once had a discussion, and they should be able to understand each other's positions and thoughts. On top of that, move to capture the best technicians and future adversaries....."

"No one loses, we can build a good partnership"?

"Yes, I'm sure Ichii's technicians know more about how to lower the cost."
