Chapter 14

Well, the real problem… if only I could engrave the blueprint into a little dragon stone, I could have Grice-san learn it as part of the contract .  」

 

「Ehh?! 」

 

「You can do something like that? 」

 

「I’ll teach you the trick . Can you lend me some small dragon stone for practice? 」

 

「Eh, fine . Is my brother fine? Can you convince me? Please~ .  」

 

「……… . F-fine . I’m also a dragon stone craftsman . I will learn it .  」

 

 

 

Ah, decision .

 

The effect inscribed using a brush can be erased many times as you practice .

 

It’s still a draft .

 

First of all, let’s get him to practice with that today .

 

And the refrigerator still needs a month to be complete .

 

My decision to sell the dryer’s blueprint to Regulus depends on whether Grice-san can draw the blueprint or not .

 

This way, the refrigerator blueprint will be sold off for a while .

 

If they can’t draw the dryer’s blueprint on a small dragon stone, it will be impossible to draw the refrigerator’s blueprint on a medium-sized stone .

 

Haa~ this has become annoying~ .

 

 

 

「Ah, that’s right, Kurou-san . Can you make a stone furnace? 」

 

「Ha? What? Stone furnace? You want to make what?! One brick is ten copper coins .  」

 

 

 

Do you usually tell them the price like that?

 

…Uh, it depends on the size of the stone furnace, but it takes quite a long time to make .

 

Damn it for taking advantage .

 

 

 

「Why do you want to make a stone furnace, anyway? I’m interested~ 」

 

 

 

These guys can smell the gold already .

 

No, maybe it’s not the money .

 

 

 

「For baking bread! 」

 

 

 

Oops, did Lansan voice normally like that?

 

And why your expression so ugly?

 

Bread is usually sold at the bakery .

 

 

 

「Haa, bread? Why . They have breadfruit already over there .  」

 

「It’s different! I want bread from baked wheat! 」

 

「「「Huh? Bread from wheat? 」」」

 

 

 

Everyone here exclaimed in the same voice and expression .

 

What did I say when I first heard it, I thought… if Lana wants to do it, I will let her do it?

 

The truth is I don’t know how to make it .

 

 

 

「Since it’s the first time I’ve made it, and I don’t know if it will work! I’ve been reading… book… so I’m going to use my knowledge of it! 」

 

 

 

I heard her saying 『manga』 in a small voice, what is that?

 

Lana sometimes uses words that I don’t know .

 

I wonder if the Duke house has special education?

 

 

 

「Ah… so, you want a stone furnace? And the wheat bread? Do I even want to know why? 」

 

「No, on the contrary, what did you guys make from wheat? I don’t know because I don’t really understand common things .  」

 

「Hm, right~ . Sometimes wheat is used to make pasta or sweets .  」

 

「…the bias of the author’s knowledge is dangerous…」

 

「Eh? What? 」

 

「Ah, no, it’s nothing .  」

 

「? 」

 

 

 

Lana is holding her head .

 

…Author?

 

 

 

「Anyway, I want to try it! 」

 

「Why don’t you make the stone furnace using the money that you will receive from the dryer’s blueprint? 」

 

「Eh? Can we do that? I… but it’s Franc’s money… 」

 

「I want to eat it too .  」

 

 

 

Were you planning to pay me back?

 

You don’t have to do that .

 

 

 

「Besides, we are going to get some money . I don’t mind .  」

 

「Th-thank you!! 」

 

 

 

Her smile is enough for me .

 

 

 

「Well, if that’s the case… hey! How much is it? 」

 

「The arrangement is 50 silver coins . I’ll take it out, it’s a waste, but you should have a stone furnace worth five silver coins . If that’s not enough, we can figure it out . You have to manage your money properly .  」

 

「Yeah, thank you, Regulus-san .  」

 

 

 

I’m sure I don’t need such a tall stone furnace .

 

It was decided that the stone furnace should be made next to our temporary lodging .

 

The temporary lodging itself was near the stable .

 

Lucy looks happy, but I’m worried about the smell .

 

 

 

「Hey, you two . Let’s talk about the blueprint .  」

 

「The refrigerator isn’t available yet . You have to wait for a month… 」

 

「I know, yo~ . Can’t you sell the dryer’s blueprint, too? I’d like to have my acquaintance dragon stone craftsman make it~ . When my older brother learns the refrigerator’s blueprint, can he learn about the dryer, too? 」

 

「Eh?!」

 

 

 

I know that Grice-san is getting swayed .

 

 

 

「The dryer is 30 gold coins and 10% sales! 」

 

「Uhh, what if it didn’t sell well? 」

 

「It will . Or rather, you will sell it . Because I want you to sell it .  」

 

 

 

What is this…

 

Is that your reason?!

 

 

 

「Actually, I was shocked when Lady Drutonil used it… 」

 

 

 

Aah, that prototype .

 

…What?

 

But, ordering for Lady Drutonil… did you just said aunt?

 

No way?

 

 

 

「Oh, you noticed? I think she was thinking about doing business with a dryer . I’m going to sell it to her and the surrounding nobles♪」

 

 

 

Eeeeeh~ .

 

Seriously, this guy is going to be troublesome .

 

It seems that this guy and my aunt are working together; they didn’t seem won’t sell well .

 

Oh, and Lana .

 

……Eh, women are amazing?

 

 

 

「…fufufu, I have a good idea about how to use a dryer . For one silver coin, isn’t it cheap? 」

 

「Oh? Are you charging for information? If it isn’t worth my money, can I get a refund~? 」

 

「Of course, I will make sure it worth the money . Actually, the dryer… 」

 

「Oh! What is this?! Can it be used like that? Really? That’s incredible… 」

 

「Fufufu, then you can try it out yourself . Don’t forget to pay after you tried it, okay? 」

 

「Mumuu… this is good . If that’s true, the way the dryer sells will change! 」

 

 

 

…For some reason, it sounds exciting .

 

 

 

「Un, Franc, where is the blueprint? 」

 

「Ah, shall we stay inside the house until they’re done building the temporary lodging? 」

 

「Uh-huh . Let’s go .  」

 

 

 

The way he talks is hard to understand .

 

The face expression is grim .

 

He was a boy who could do things no one know how to do, and I guess if you’re a craftsman, you would feel kind of angry too .

 

That’s what they said .

 

 

 

「………」

 

「Kurou-san? 」

 

「O-oh, you guys! Let’s make the temporary lodging! 」

 

「Hhai! 」

 

 

 

What is it?

 

I was thinking of something while looking at the refrigerator…

 

As I watched, Kurou-san shouted, 「I’ll make the stone furnace! 」 and went back to work .

 

Hmm?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the evening .

 

I feel pretty drowsy, Grice-san’s amazing tenacity picked up the bed I use for a nap in the temporary lodging .

 

The problem is… space is smaller here! That’s it!

 

 

 

「Uh . 」

 

 

 

The beds are lined up .

 

No, it’s not even a bed but a simple mattress!

 

…Let’s move the chair and the table in between the beds .

 

I’m sure Lana would be safer .

 

 

 

「How is temporary accommodation? 」

 

「It’s nice but small .  」

 

「Wow… it’s really narrowed .  」

 

「It’s fine, it’s only temporary .  」

 

 

 

If you say another word, I might not know how to reply .

 

 

 

「Ohoho~ that’s okay, things are negotiable~ 」

 

「What is it? 」

 

「Um, ano… the refrigerator, can you make it at home? 」

 

「「………」」

 

 

 

Is it because of Ossan?

 

Scary macho Ossan?

 

My fingers clenched .

 

……Haa?

 

 

 

「Lana .  」

 

「The refrigerator is not on sale yet… 」

 

「I know! I understand that! But, if possible, I want it as fast as possible! 」

 

「I don’t have any medium-sized dragon stone .  」

 

「Let’s buy it! 」

 

「Why?」

 

「………」

 

 

 

Why are you looking away and blushing?

 

No, depending on the reason why you need it if you are saying you want one soon, why?

 

I exchanged glances with Lana .

 

Kurou-san is squirming and looking uncomfortable .

 

As if she finally decided, she lifts up her face .

 

 

 

「Pudding! I thought it would taste good if I chilled it before eating—! 」

 

 

 

 

 

He—!

 

 

 

Yeah—!

 

 

 

Yeah—!

 

 

 

「………」

 

 

 

…If we were on the mountain, there’d be an echo .

 

 

 

「…Right? 」

 

「Right?! Oh my! Chilled pudding after work is the pleasure of life! 」

That was unexpected .

 

Not alcohol but pudding!

 

It’s a hard match, not meat and sake but pudding?!

 

No, I don’t have a problem with people’s preferences .

 

 

 

「The pudding chilled in the basement is delicious… but, if it’s chilled with refrigerator… I thought it would be even more delicious… 」

 

「…What if I make a small box right now? 」

 

「Ha? A box? 」

 

「I’ll make a small size using small-sized dragon stone . Kurou-san, please make a small box in twenty minutes .  」

 

「Haa???? 」

 

 

 

The engraving effect is even simpler than the one on a medium-sized stone for practice .

 

Since the effect range is more confined, the circuit portion can be sharply reduced .

 

Something like this, I’ll finish it in twenty minutes .

 

 

 

「You’re lying… 」

 

 

 

Grice-san muttered .

 

However, I’m not doing anything special .

 

Match the item size with a medium-sized engraved dragon stone effect and cut it down .

 

 

 

「It will look like this .  」

 

「Already?! 」

 

 

 

Well, I only need to reduce it from the assembled one, Grice-san looks surprised .

 

 

 

「Is this what you want? 」

 

「This is fine, Kurou-san .  」

 

 

 

The box is about 40 x 30 cm in length .

 

I can do it with this size .

 

 

 

「Are you going to cut it again with a knife?! 」

 

「Eh? Of course, the foundation is made of human blood . Kurou-san will have to fix the floor and ceiling tomorrow, and we use blood because it’s the most familiar .  」

 

「Oh .  」

 

 

 

If I cut on my dominant hand’s fingertip, I won’t be able to work so I cut my other hand .

 

My right hand is my dominant one, so I cut my left ring finger .

 

I cut my little finger sometime ago .

 

And I’m bleeding a lot .

 

 

 

「Uwaaa… it looks hurt~… 」

 

「Lana isn’t the one getting cut . You can close your eyes if you don’t want to see it .  」

 

「Why it has to use blood… 」

 

「It’s an offering to the guardian dragon .  」

 

 

 

 

The average person probably didn’t know .

 

It’s not until I learn how to make a dragon stone core, I know that the base for the metal fixtures was the blood of the man who made the dragon stone core .

 

I put the small dragon stone core on the box that Kurou-san made .

 

Pressing the knife on my fingertip and drop the blood on the dragon’s core .

 

Well .

 

If it hurts, it hurts .

 

The blood dripped quickly, when the engraved core in effect the box permeates with a light beam, the blood supporting it .

 

 

 

「For now, let’s take a look at what’s going on for a month . If it is malfunctioning or the effect is bad, you must fix it .  」

 

「ahhh… thank you . This size would be good for my mother .  」

 

 

 

……for the kitchen?

 

I don’t even know if it was suitable for us or not .

 

The worker is somehow nodding with a serious look on their face, but why Kurou-san is so scared of her?

 

 

 

「How much is it? 」

 

「A—, I never thought about it . Lana, what should I do? 」

 

「10 gold! 」

 

「「H—hey?! 」」

「It’s cheap! It’s even discounted for a prototype product! 」

 

 

 

Is that so?!

 

 

 

「No, but… 」

 

「You saw Eufranc’s skill, right? Does Kurou-san mind about the technical fee? 」

 

「No! 」

 

「Also, it’s a new technology that hasn’t spread yet . It’s a dragon stone tool! If you are going to advertise or use it yourself, you still get the added value! 」

 

「Uhhh .  」

 

 

 

Wow… Lana, please go easy on me…!

 

But I think it’s too expensive!

 

That’s higher than a house… ah .

 

 

 

「…10 gold coins… . …Kurou-san, if I’m not mistaken you said that I need 5 gold coins if I were going to renovate the house, didn’t you? 」

 

「Um? Yeah .  」

 

「Would you mind renovating the house? And… 」

 

 

 

I pointed at the plot of land where the grass grows .

 

This place’s maintenance .

 

It costs about 30 silver coins .

 

And the cowshed and the chicken shed .

 

It costs about 1 gold coin .

 

 

 

「How about that? 」

 

「Hm… 3 gold coins and 70 silver coins… 」

 

「And the stone furnace? Please make it better .  」

 

「…Okay, I understand . If there’s anything you want to fix… and I’m the one paying it… damn .  」

 

「Well, that’s your own doing… 」

 

「But it’s a little too expensive! 」

 

「It’s fair price . …in fact, it’s really cheap! 」

 

 

 

…Is that what it is?

 

For me, that was too expensive .

 

 

 

「Look at Eufranc-chan confused expression .  」

 

「Umm… why are you building the house? 」

 

「Because it worth that much, yo . You invented something that can’t be reproduced by another craftsman, whether it’s medium or small . In other words, if you keep doing this you’d be settled for life .  」

 

「………」

 

 

 

From behind, I can hear Grice-san groaned .

 

He looked vexed .

 

…The dryer’s blueprint was designed to be engraved very well .

 

The refrigerator will be finished soon— .

 

 

 

「I wonder, is 『Arsegios』 full of talented people like him?」

 

「N-no . …When Lana said 『Make storage box that can chilled food』 I was just trying to make it happen in reality… 」

 

「I’ll give him the idea . And it will be the same …Franc is a genius, and he can make anything I want .  」

 

 

 

Yeah .

 

I’ll make anything that Lana wants .

 

 

 

「…and I will sell it at a reasonable price! And give the money back to Franc! 」

 

「………」

 

 

 

Yeah .

 

I don’t understand her train of thoughts…!

 

I want to make something that Lana wants .

 

Why are you so proactive selling it?!

 

 

 

「I’ll show you how amazing Franc is! I’ll prove it to you that his name is going to be well-known in 『Arsegios』! Oh—hohohohohoho! 」

 

「That’s going to be a lot of trouble .  」

 

「…Fufufu… . ufufufufu! You guys are a good spouse! 」

 

「「Uh! 」」

 

 

 

I forgot .

 

Come to think of it, what’s going on…!
