Vol 3 Chapter 61

Chapter 61

Condom enchantment

We are now at the Royal Palace to report on the production conditions of manastones, which I figured out earlier.

“Truly… that there was such a condition for the creation of manastones…”(Dis)

“Certainly, manastones are excavated from mines near a volcano, or near a big fault line. I didn’t notice at all…”(Rupert)

“s.h.i.+n, how did you notice something like that?”(August)

Uncle Dis, Rupert, the magic division commander, and Gus have gathered in the conference room of the Royal Palace. (Original text*: w.a.n.g Castle. Kaelpie: Kinky.)

The magic division commander Loupe is in this place because he is the absolute authority on magical matters. It seems that manastone management is also a job of the magic division.

By the way today I am wearing formal clothes I changed into at the guard station.

As one would be expected to wear in front of the king, right?

Grandpa, Grandma and me makes three people as guests.

Sicily and Maria are playing with May and Elly in Gus’ room.

“Speaking of which… there is something I have to ask.”(Melinda)

“Melinda-sensei has a scary face… I’m afraid to hear it.”(August)

“The conditions for manufacturing manastones are discovered, so why is s.h.i.+n required to talk about it?”(The Spanish Inquisition) (Kaelpie: Seriously Melinda… Chill…)

“…It’s really scary…”(Dis)

The faces of Gus and Dis stiffen.

Only Leon-san has a puzzled look.

“Your Majesty, why are you making such a nervous face? Isn’t this a discovery of the century?”(Rupert)

“Is that so… Rupert are you not aware of s.h.i.+n’s senselessness…?”(Dis)

“When it comes to s.h.i.+ns insanity, the magic you saw the guard station is just the beginning… There is a possibility of outrageous rumours sprouting from this.”(August)

“What did you say!? Just the beginning?!”(Rupert)

Rupert-san started to be tense.

Disregarding the now nervous Rupert-san, Grandma started her report.

“It all started when s.h.i.+n got a manastone from the academy. Prior to that, s.h.i.+n of unaware of the existence of manastones, so he got interested in them”(Melinda)

“s.h.i.+n got interested…”(Dis)

“Father?”(August)

Uncle suddenly got naughty, so Gus spoke up.

“Did you ever hear about s.h.i.+n when he was little?”(Melinda)

“Yes, at Claude’s mansion.”(Dis)

“Once he’s interested in something he won’t stop until he’s fully understood it…”(August)

“And this time was no different.”(Melinda)

“That’s right… Melinda-sensei was serious.”(Dis)

“Wait a minute, that should go without saying.”(Merlin)

Uncle Dis agreed with Grandma while Grandpa chimed in to complained.

Certianly I agree, but I realized something.

“Merlin doesn’t know much about manastones or magic tools. I remember him screaming: “Magic is only magic if you release it yourself!””(Melinda)

“Grandpa…”(s.h.i.+n)

“Did the Magi really say something like that?”(Rupert)

“Bring it on G.o.d!” Was something you would likely hear from him way back then… He was quite something in the past…

“Ho ho… Please continue the discussion…”(Merlin)

Oh, the story got derailed.

“It’s my own fault. As soon as I heard about manastones and how they were almost never found on the surface,

I immediately thought: “What can I do with it? How do I get it? Where can I get it? How can I make it?””(s.h.i.+n)

“And?”(Dis)

“It seemed weird to me that manastones are found only by chance, so I figured there must be conditions for their creation.”(s.h.i.+n)

“But… With that alone?”(Rupert)

“It’s enough for s.h.i.+n to indulge in thought as long as conditions are met. So? Did you make a hypothesis?”(Dis)

As expected, he knew me since I was a child, and can read my behavior pattern.

“Yes, it was still a hypothesis at that point, that is before we came to report this…”(Melinda)

My Grandma made a pause and Uncle Dis held his breath.

“He tested out that hypothesis.”(Melinda)

“Tested it?”(Rupert)

“”…No?!””(D,A)

Uncle Dis and Gus understood immediately while Rupert-san wasn’t quite able to follow.

“Yes… I tested out that hypothesis… And made a magic stone.”(s.h.i.+n)

“You created a magic stone!?”(Rupert)

“”Of course…””(D,A)

“Why are Your Majesty and Your Highness convinced!? You says he made artificial manastones!’”(Rupert) (TN: Majesty for Dis, Highness for August,)

The confused Rupert-san is asking the two who are strangely persuaded.

The two of them finally look up.

“”Because it’s s.h.i.+n/you””(D,A) (Kaelpie: No DNA test required. They sync so nicely.)

And said that as one.

“But for such a reason?”(Rupert)

“One would say if he doesn’t know s.h.i.+n…”(August)

“s.h.i.+n Walford is a man who does such senseless things so calmly.”(Dis)

“Even so…”(Rupert)

“Because it is a fact that he can do it, you should give it up”(Melinda)

“Yes!”(Rupert)

Rupert-san, who is the head of the magic division, got silent with a single word from Grandma.

…Even the top magician of this country can’t go against Grandma…

“I made a hypothesis, experimented with it, proved it was correct, and as a result I discovered that these are the conditions for producing manastones.”(s.h.i.+n)

“From the discovery of the conditions for producing magic stones… Producing actual proof of it is surprising.”(Rupert)

“Even if you say that… you should take care as much as you-“(Dis)

“No… Of course I won’t distribute artificially created manastones, but this is absolutely necessary.”(s.h.i.+n)

“…Is that so?”(Dis)

“It is.”(s.h.i.+n)

It’s absolutely necessary for the creation of a wireless communication device.

Even though there are other things I considered.

“Well … anyways,the details of manastone creation conditions cannot be disclosed… After investigating several places, we will announce that “There is a high rate of manastones excavated from deep in the ground near volcanoes or fault lines.” Based on the actual excavation so far, the magic division investigated and proved what s.h.i.+n-san discovered.”(Dis)

“Eh? You’re going to mention my name?”(s.h.i.+n)

“Wasn’t it s.h.i.+n who actually discovered it? The name of “Magic King ” has already become famous, so even if your achievements increase, nothing will change too much.”(Dis)

But it’s Uncle Dis’ fault it’s famous!

“Besides, if it’s pursued who is discovering that thing … It can’t be said that you artificially created a manastone, because the discoverer s.h.i.+n will probably be targeted… But the idea of them actually hurting you feels like a pipe dream.”(Dis)

“Rupert, even though you will be busy with the demon suppression, I would like for you to investigate the manastone. If possible, I would also like ask you to excavate a place that meets the conditions just before the mine.”(August)

“There are some people in the magical division that aren’t suitable for battle, we will hire people and Make those people oversee the investigation.”(Rupert)

“Umu, if this is confirmed, this country… No, it is a major discovery will shake this world.”(Dis)

“What?”(s.h.i.+n)

“Oh, and not a word to anyone that s.h.i.+n can make manastones.”(Dis)

“Although I don’t think anyone would believe it… I will obey.”(Rupert)

My sisters-in-law also said that they were busy with the demon suppression, but it seems that I just increased their workload, which is bad.

(Kaelpie: We will return after these messages!)

“This may change the circ.u.mstances of the magic tools in the world.”(Rupert)

“Recently, it feels like the production of magic tools has ceased, although that may change again thanks to s.h.i.+n’s magic tools.”(Melinda)

“That’s right! s.h.i.+n!”(August)

“What?”(s.h.i.+n)

“The toilet we saw at s.h.i.+n’s house! Can you add it to the restroom of the castle?”(August)

“Why now after so long?”(s.h.i.+n)

“May was talked about it to mother.”(August)

“Because of that Julia is envious now… I will pay for it, Is it alright?”(Dis)

“In that case you should ask the trading company that just started.”(Melinda)

“Perhaps! Do you sell that toilet!?”(Dis)

“Oh, won’t the company gain prestige if the first customer is the royal family?”(Merlin)

“Understood, I’d like to place an order with that company.”(Dis)

“Nevertheless… the communication device is still sold only between governments, right? So the first item sold to the general public will be the toilet…”(s.h.i.+n) (Kaelpie: 100 bucks says that was his first invention too.)

What a questionable product lineup…

“What are you saying, s.h.i.+n! Don’t you understand the wonder of that toilet!”(August)

“I completely agree.The impact of using that toilet for the first time… It’s the most impressive magic tool you ever made.”(Melinda)

“The restrooms without it have become unusable…”(Merlin)

“I also agree. When I imagine that it will be set up in the restroom of the Royal Palace… I feel happy.”(Dis)

“Is it that amazing?”(Rupert)

“Oh, do you not know Rupert? Well, it’s going to be sold to the public so you should try it yourself.”(Dis)

“If your Majesty holds it in such high regard, I would like to purchase it by all means. I’m looking forward to it.”(Rupert)

Excitement about the bathroom began to rise.

Well it’s a product, so isn’t it good that the people in this world to accept it?

“Will you be selling anything else?”(Dis)

“Afterwards… A refrigerator.”(Melinda)

“Refrigerator?”(Dis)

“The refrigerator itself is just a box, but there is a magic tool for making ice inside. You put water in it, and the magic tool will create ice, so it’s cold air cools down the inside of the box.”(Melinda)

“Drinking ale that was cooled down in this after your bath… It’s irresistible”(Merlin)

Uncle Dis and Rupert-san gulped.

“I knew about the refrigerator but… cold ale after the bath…?”(Dis)

“Just imagining it makes me thirsty.”(Rupert)

“Ho ho, they’re all expected to sell, so we suggest you buy one now.”(Merlin)

Somehow it became like a presentation of new products by Grandpa and Grandma.

I was told the stores will be completed soon, so should we start promoting products from now on?

(Kaelpie: We now return to the regularly scheduled program.)

“Father… You’ve gone off topic…”(August)

“Oh? So I was. But that’s because s.h.i.+ns magic tools are groundbreaking ideas. I just got interested in them.”(Dis)

“Magic is amazing, but even so… Walfords magic tools are something else.”(Rupert)

It feels like I’m cheating when it comes to magic tools, so it’s a complicated feeling when I’m praised.

“That said… I would have never thought he would uncover a world mystery…”(Merlin)

“Even after all this time, I’m afraid of what’s in s.h.i.+ns head.”(Melinda)

“Is that so? Maybe it’s because he wasn’t taught common sense?”(Dis)

Let’s pretend that’s true.

Even if I say that it’s from the memories of my previous life, they probably wouldn’t believe it.

“Well now, is this the end of the report?”(Dis)

“That’s it.”(Melinda)

“You could say that’s it for now.”(s.h.i.+n)

“I see. We will also contact the Inst.i.tute of Magic and Science in each country and launch Ruperts investigation globally.”(Dis)

“Certainly!”(Rupert)

Inst.i.tute of Magic and Science has headquarters in many countries around the world and they seem to share information when there is a magic discovery.

Rupert-san went out of the conference room to investigate manastones and to contact the Inst.i.tute.

“Well then with this… Shall we immediately go to Merlins home and try out ale after the bath?”(Dis)

“Ara, what about official business?”(Melinda)

“I’m already done with it, so come on!”(Dis)

“Haa, there’s no helping you… I’ll entrust you to Merlin-sama.”(Melinda)

“Ho Ho, what a rough old woman…”(Merlin)

“Did you say something!?”(Melinda)

“No… Well then s.h.i.+n, we’ll go back first.”(Merlin)

“Okay, then I will pick up Sicily.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Mhm.”(Merlin)

Thus the grandparents went home earlier, and we headed to Gus’ room.

“Oh! s.h.i.+n-oniichan! It’s been a while!”(May)

“Oomph, it’s been a while. You’re energetic as usual, May-chan”(s.h.i.+n)

“This is great!”(May)

I opened the door of the Gus’ room, and caught May, who jumped at me as soon as I entered the room.

“It’s been a while, s.h.i.+n-san.”(Elly)

“Elly, it’s been a while.”(s.h.i.+n)

“By the way, Augusto appears strange… Did something happen?”(Elly) (Kaelpie: …between you two? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

Elly said that after she looked at Gus silently for a while.

Certainly, it’s unusual for him not to scold May when she jumps in like that.

“No… It’s just that a slightly shocking thing happened, and I haven’t been able to process it yet.”(August)

“Shocking thing?”(Elly)

“Err… the report was…”(August)

“What was it?”(Elly)

“s.h.i.+n…”(August)

“s.h.i.+n-san?”(Elly)

“…Solved the mystery of manastone creation.”(August)

……

Huh? There is no response…

“”Huh!?””(M,E)

Not only Elly, but May is also surprised.

It’s common knowledge even for such a small child…

“The creation of manastones! That’s a world mystery!”(Elly)

“I know about it as well! It’s a question that the researchers of the world try to answer, but it’s so super difficult no one cal solve it!”(May)

“And s.h.i.+n, who only found out about the existence of manastones today, solved it.”(August)

“First heard about it today!? How can you solve a world mystery!?”(Elly)

“Because it’s s.h.i.+n?”(Sicily)

“Ah… That’s right.”(Elly)

“Why are you convinced from that?”(s.h.i.+n)

“Errr…?”(Maria)

“Because it’s s.h.i.+n-san…”(Elly)

“Why don’t you understand?” Maria and Elly tilt their heads as if to say that.

I don’t understand!

The next day after Mary and Elly gave me an evaluation I didn’t understand, I was at the Bean Smithy.

“Oh, what’s up s.h.i.+n? Did you think up something again?”(Mark’s daddy)

It’s to ask you to make a wireless communication device.

Even if sales are done at a launching business, it’s absolutely necessary to have a studio for development and production.

I want to ask the Bean smithy for development and production orders.

I know they do orders for the kingdom’s formal equipment, and I know that they are pretty busy… But I don’t know anyone else that is better or more trustworthy.

I apologised for that.

“What are you talking about? Having a prosperous business is never a bad thing. More than anything, any ideas you bring are fascinating, and any artisan would be itching to try them out!”(M-daddy)

He said that while laughing a “Gahaha.”.

I’m so grateful. What can I say? I think I’m blessed with the people I meet.

However they often bring trouble too…

Speaking of which, I didn’t hear any rumors about devil lately.

Have they given up because we stopped their raids twice? Or are they planning something?

I don’t think they will simply give up so easily, so it’s better to consider this downtime as a preparation period for the next raid.

For that purpose, the wireless communication device must be put into practical use.

“Didn’t you already make a communication machine?”(M-daddy)

“Oh, that was a not that good… Long distance communication is difficult to implement…”(s.h.i.+n)

Mark’s father is getting emotional, but I switch to the main subject.

“I was thinking of creating a wireless version.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Mugh…!”(M-daddy)

Oops, Mark’s dad stiffened.

“Since the current communication device a wire, the place you can communicate to and from is fixed, so if I make it wireless, you can carry the communication device with you. I want to create that.”(s.h.i.+n)

“…So that’s why you’ve come here… Have you already planned it out?”(M-daddy)

“Yes, as for the plan…”(s.h.i.+n)

A communication device will be marked with a unique number..

The sending side can talk with the communication device by specifying the unique number and transmitting it.

Also common numbers will also be added. This will enable simultaneous transmission.

It will constantly run thanks to manastones.

“No matter what I’d like to ask for it to be able to specify a number, because it will transmit by specifying a number.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Will you use a manastone? Doesn’t that make it terribly expensive?”(M-daddy)

“The manastones aren’t a problem. It’s still being investigated, but there is a possibility we can find a place where we can extract manastones.”(s.h.i.+n)

“What was that!? Has the secret of manastone creation been uncovered!?”(M-daddy)

All sound in the smithy ceased because of that shout from Mark’s father.

“No, no! It’s not like that! I just noticed some correlations between the places manastones have been excavated so far… For now it’s only under investigation.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Even so, it’s an amazing discovery! s.h.i.+n, you really are something, aren’t you?”(M-daddy)

“Well…”(s.h.i.+n)

Then Mark’s father patted my back with a loud “BANG BANG”.

It hurts! Why do muscular people like to hit backs so hard?

“This is a huge thing, s.h.i.+n! If the number of manastones increase, their prices will drop, and that will enable more research and development. Isn’t this a moment when history changes?”(M-daddy)

Expectations of easily accessible manastones start rising in the smithy.

As expected of craftsmen. I guess it’s unavoidable they would want to try various things.

“First of all, the communication device, please.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Oh, right! Leave it to us!”(M-daddy)

“There is one more thing I’d like to request…”(s.h.i.+n)

“What? Is there is still something?”(M-daddy)

“Yes, I think it will be easy to make quickly.”(s.h.i.+n)

Saying that, I made another order, which was really easy, so we made it on the spot, and I went home.

* * *

“s.h.i.+n, welcome home.”(Sicily)

“”Welcome home.””(Servants)

When I returned home, the servants welcomed me with Sicily at the helm.

She’s fit in perfectly.

“I’m home. Sicily, there is no sense of discomfort in you anymore, it seems like you are getting along well.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Yes! Because everyone is so kind.”(Sicily)

“Naturaly. The young lady doesn’t merely cling to her man, but has a reputation as a saint that saves the world and supports s.h.i.+n-sama. I can recieve such a woman in the Walford house, because I respect you as a woman. It is an honour.”(Marika)(TN: Head maid)

Maria, and especially the maids, nod to Marika ‘s words.

I’m glad that Sicily is so highly evaluated by other women.

“I will support the young lady with my full power, so please relax s.h.i.+n-sama.”(Marika)

“Everyone… Thank you so much! I will do my best!”(Sicily)

“Yes, the young lady should do her best to provide a successor!”(Marika) (Kaelpie: Walked right into that one.)

“…!”(Sicily)

“You misunderstood!”(s.h.i.+n)

I head to the living room with a deep red Sicily.

Grandma was waiting for me there while laughing.

“Ah ha ha! It sounds to me like she adapted to living in this house completely.”(Melinda)

“…ah… that’s not! It’s still too early, thank you very much!”(s.h.i.+n)

“But postpone having a child until the devil disturbance is over, because Sicily is a nice war potential too.”(Melinda) (Kaelpie: Does that mean you will finally f.u.c.k off after they kill the devils?)

“…Children… Even if…”(Sicily)

“Enough Grandma! Stop teasing Sicily already!”(s.h.i.+n)

“I will not joke about such a something like that. This is a very serious issue. Sicily will be a big fighting force in the fight against demons. Her pregnancy would be a huge hit to your war potential.”(Melinda)

“Well, that’s true…”(s.h.i.+n)

“Now then, where have you been?”(Melinda)

“Oh, I went to the Bean smithy for an order.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Order?”(Melinda)

“This.”(s.h.i.+n)

Saying that, I take out what I made at the smithy.

I already applied the enchantment as soon as it was done.

“Sicily.”(s.h.i.+n)
