Dahlia changed the magic stone for the magic lantern and hang it in her workshop.

It is raining outside.

The magic lantern is said to be the first magic tool made by grandfather.

Using fire magic stones instead of oil, the lantern itself was reduced in size and improved in performance. Since it can last a long time using only one magic stone, it is also useful for traveling and night watch.

In the grandfather’s time, the price of lantern oil was cheaper but now the maintenance costs are the same as the prevalence of magic stones. Now, oil lanterns are cheaper to purchase but the magical lanterns are safer and easier to use.

The most developed field of magic tools in this country is the magic tools for daily life.

To Dahlia, you could say that they are [Home appliances].

The home appliances magic tools seem to have been largely developed since the time of grandfather. My father said that it was the result of the widespread research on magic stones.

Dahlia arranges various parts on the desk in her workshop and takes a memo using colored paper to summarize her ideas.

In this country, paper made from plants and writing instrument similar to pencils are a bit but they are commonly distributed. The writing instrument has a thin charcoal core in the center and is covered with hard paper.

Contracts have been made using parchment since the old-time but I’ve heard from the commerce guild that the percentage of paper documents has increased in recent years.

After my engagement was broken, what I was thinking of making was a soap pump bottle for liquid soap.

It is not a magic tool but as my nostalgia is at work I decided to make it as a change of pace.

 The main components of a soap pump bottle are a container, a push part on the lid, a lid and a pump attached to the lid.

The pressure is applied to the interior of the container by pressing the lid portion, the soap will then be pulled up through a tube attached to the pump, the mesh filter will make it foam and the soap will be pushed out. If you only push it down it won’t come back up so I will have to install spring inside and make a mechanism for the lid to rise back to its original place too.

Fortunately, I actually did disassemble and reassemble one in class back at my school so I remembered the general details of how it works. I have seen the design of the soap pump bottle during the time I worked at the company as well so for now, I decided to make a prototype.

As I started working, I fully realize how useful magic is in this world.

I can manipulate the shape and hardness of the magic tool components using magic.

 

There are various kinds of metals, of course, the ones from my previous life also exist but in this world, there are Mythril, Magic Silver, Orichalcum and the like as well.

Though there’s no plastic, I can still manage using monster materials such as slime or Kraken as substitutes.

I learned the basics of how to assemble a magic tool at the faculty of magic tools in the academy but surprisingly there are a lot of ways to assemble and process them.

It was all about trial and error to find the answer—-to Dahlia, that is irresistibly fun.

Making the components while taking notes, adjust them with magic, check the blueprint and assemble them.

The unique shine of rainbow-colored light that comes out during processing shines many times tonight in her workshop.

Disassemble, remake, refit and take notes. I repeated the process many times over.

My mother married father like she was forced to. After she gave birth to me, she returned to her parents’ home and never return. Only I remain with my father and thus I am here.

To commoners, magic power was said to be varied, it was moderate for those in the high-class academy but that is still far below those of the high noble.

After hearing the story of the mage’s flashy magic, there have been quite a few times I wanted a magic cheat for myself in my reincarnation.

However, to Dahlia, has a special ability to stably bring out weak magic power for long periods of time. This ability is very convenient for making and modifying components in finer detail and is suitable for magic tool craftsmen.

I am extremely grateful for such an ability.

As she commits herself to trial and error, time flies.

The time is almost midnight, It took a lot of time to adjust the pump and the spring but for the time being, two prototypes were made.

The rest is to check the thickness of the foam in the bath and adjust the output.

Finally taking a break, Dahlia reaches out for a glass of wine on her side table.

The wine has turned completely warm.

After she returned the carriage, she went to buy red wine at the store but she ended up buying white wine instead.

As the wine slipped down her throat, she remembered the man who enthusiastically talked about the magic sword.

It was just a few hours ago but it was really fun talking with him.

Just thinking about how he talks put a smile on her face.

If she was a man or Wolf was a woman, she would surely give him her contact information.

The chances of meeting him again in such a large capital city are low.

Even if we meet again, he whose vision was blurry at the time would never recognize that Dalh is actually Dahlia.

(TLN: I used the previous translation name for consistency but the actual fake name here is Dali though.) 

Thinking that they would never meet again, Dahlia prayed to god for his recovery.

“…..I wish Wolf-san’s eyes will properly heal…..”
