"... at this size, you've produced so much performance... you're a freak."

In the private room of the shop on King's Boulevard where Aaron was going, Isaac looked at the medal in the palm of his hand and said, stunned and moved at the same time.

Of course, it is the magic device of my magic shield, and I have already explained it to Isaac along with the history so far.

At that time, I was told that I wanted you to show me the actual product, so I showed it honestly.

If it is true, it should not be done.

Isaac is a leading and genius craftsman, not yet under contract for this magic device.

Even from the outside, it is possible to understand the mechanism to some extent and create imitations.

I'm not a genius like Isaac, although I also incorporate as many jamming mechanisms as I can to make it impossible.

Lily fully understands that everyone's efforts can be overcome with laughter before genius.

I have no contempt for Isaac either.

But at the same time, I know something about Isaac.

"By the way, Isaac, did you somehow understand how that magic device works?

When Aaron asks, Isaac answers with a difficult face.

"... it's a mess. However, I don't know how to do miniaturization or maintainability, and so on. It's at the end of a trial and error."

"Then you can make it by trial and error for a while. I'll fund it. [M] Whatever. So make the same thing in a year."

Aaron looked at us and said so.

What he's trying to say is that this is what happens when you divulge this kind of information.

But I'm not serious.

That's what the light in those eyes says.

In fact, Aaron's far-fetched advice was also correct.

But I understood them all and showed them to Isaac.

In fact, Isaac proved my conviction with the following words.

"Hey, Aaron. I'm an engineer. I sell magic equipment at the store, but if they tell me where the roots are, I'm an engineer."

In Isaac's slightly dropped voice, Aaron smiled, ahh.

It is the face that realized its own failure.

"No, Isaac, I'm sorry. I...."

And I tried to explain what the current interaction meant, but before that, Isaac's voice became louder and lightning struck Isaac at a volume almost close to the yelling voice.

"Aaron! That's why I'm here! I can't forgive someone else for stealing what I've made! If you're going to make it from scratch, that's different, but I already know this guy. And even if I look at this guy and he tells me to build the same thing from scratch with a completely different mechanism... that's impossible to talk to. That's all there is to it... Aaron, wasn't that what you knew? When I told you to give me something to counter the Magic Shield of the" Magic Tower ", you said you should do so when I told you to give me a completely new mechanism instead of stealing it. And yet, how could you... steal this lady's idea...?

At the end, it was Isaac who said that with a sad voice.

Yes, Isaac is such a person.

A craftsman's appraisal that respects to the extreme what engineers have created.

That's why I showed it to you.

Because I knew he wasn't the kind of person to forgive me for just imitating it.

I'm sure Aaron knew that too.

I knew it, and I still worked with Isaac.

That's why I didn't have to say anything like this, just let me blow it off, because I was thinking about a young thing like this in the corner of my head, I hurt even something important to Isaac.

I think you're kind of really young.

Aaron didn't commit such a mistake before, because he was as ruthless and objective as a monster.

As a matter of fact, I think that just by acting like that, there might have been a more humane character in it.

Well, I didn't see how I got upside down back then.

Aaron looked sorry for Isaac's words.

"Isaac, you're right. I'm sorry...."

and lowered his head honestly.

Isaac responded.

"If you understand, that's fine. But why....."

"Ah, that's all I've been able to do since I met this guy. That's why I was just trying to give you a little something back... but in the first place, that kind of serious personality of yours was out of my mind."

So it was just a joke.

"That's what it is. Well, now I know you don't have to joke about it."

"Heh. I hope so... but I'm sorry for you, ma'am."

Somehow Isaac lowers his head to me.

"It doesn't matter. I was sure it would look like this."

"Really?

"Yes, I can see how much Isaac's magic equipment makes him feel in the product. Just because you showed me what I made, you wouldn't steal my ideas. That's not the case with Aaron."

"I don't know... he seems to be a merchant, but he's going to lose his friends?

"Fu, both of you... will tell me a lot...? But to live in the merchant industry of thousands of old beavers in Haichiyama is as tough as that....."

"I'm not a merchant, and the lady is on my side. People who say they don't care what I say as usual. Can I trust you?

"You... hah. Well, I guess that's enough for you. But... Master Elaine. Isaac is such a person. Does it still make you feel like you're working with us?

It was not necessarily just a gesture of gratitude to me, but also an attempt to make Isaac understand.

But my answer is certain.

"Of course, nothing will change. Thank you both for your long relationship."
