Recently, I have been researching an invention that could shake the world: Magic crystal type magic construct.

I call it infinite magic crystal.

I have finished putting together a thesis on its basic theory and submitted it under my own name, Sawadi Slayra.

It is my first research as a noble.

Even if I had to shorten the life of the magic construct itself and detune it considering the impact it will have on the world, I did not hold back on my ideas.

I included as many ideas as I could such as, proposing to replace all magic lights used for street lights, magic water bottle tools, and other infrastructure. As long as it needs to consume magic crystal for a long time, it can be used. Even for magic construct beast messengers.

Technology, no matter how great it is, is meaningless unless it is needed in the field.

People don’t want to pay for something they don’t understand.

In this respect, magic constructs are easy because they have deliverables.

All you have to do is to show them the magic construct you created and an example of its use.

There is no better subject to make money.

Professor Marino himself has given me his blessing and I feel as if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

However, in my case, school is not the only place where I can make money.

If I wanted to, I could make a lot of money using my connections in trade, my slaves, the army, or whatever else I could find.

Thinking about it, that also means I have a lot of jobs to do even when I get home. I won’t trouble myself and not think about it….

I’m just working hard now so I can have it easy later.

Yeah, the hard work you put in when you’re young will pay….

I’d never thought I’d actually want to be rewarded because of my hard work!

「I’ve been contacted by the royal capital about a request for another “Laura Rola”.」

「That, again….」

「Oi oi, aren’t you happy with the sale?」

「No, it’s not that I’m not happy but it’s hard to make.」

After coming home from school and eating dinner, we often spend time conversing like this in the bedroom before going to bed.

We talk about the lab, business, horses, and food.

Strangely enough, Laura and I never ran out of things to talk about.

We are two people who look too different from each other but we simply get along.

「Did you make it using your buff magic? How could you come up with something like that?」

「I don’t need any resources when it comes to ideas. I’m just trying them out as they come to me.」

Yeah, Laura Rola is a strange sake I made with super-enhanced yeast with the help of buff magic.

It tastes very similar to Dr.*epper but after we served them as our wedding giveaway, a fanbase was created….

However, it takes a lot of time and effort.

That’s the reason why I don’t want to sell too much but I can’t afford to hold back since I need to maintain my connections.

I think, one day, I’ll be able to bait a big fish and then, I’ll stop thinking like this.

Currently, I’ve been rejecting all the inquiries from merchant companies in the royal capital and other cities that have heard the rumors.

We are a noble family and a merchant family at the same time, why are we going to let other companies in the same business make a profit?

One good thing about being a noble is that I can be aggressive although the opponents who I can put my smug face on are limited to commoners.

The super-concentrated spirit that is mass-produced by magic construct at the brewery started to be sold this summer and it is currently selling well.

It is sold to the military for sanitation and they are now being sold to the magic train every time one stops here.

It is so much in demand that my father tap dances in joy.

The existence of microorganisms has been confirmed in this world and knowledge of alcohol disinfection is even taught at schools so mass production and mass exportation is happening here, the wheat basket of the country.

But even so, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the profit margins of Laura Rola.

Well, it’s the one and only original sake made by a true mage.

We charge three gold coins per bottle at wholesale price so if I make one barrel, I can sell it for 500 gold coins.

Well, in reality, it won’t sell all at once.

Even so, it made my sense of money go numb.

It’s still a hassle to make them though.

As expected, the ideal kind of income is income by not working. Just commanding people from the top.

「By the way, how about the instant noodles?」

「That fried noodles….I heard that some part of the military has started testing. What about it?」
