In the northern part of the city of Santor, there is a workshop of the Solstaires.
　The red-brick workshop is divided into several sections, and is mainly used for the research and mass production of magic potions and magical tools. Ad was currently hard at work.
　As the name suggests, the management of the company is done by the Dukes of Solistea, who are relatives under the name of the Solistea royal family, and the business association run by Delsacis has been making huge profits by participating in it.

　To put it another way, Delsacis was half-owning the company.
　However, since Creston, who was the manager of the Solistare workshop at the time it was set up, has been replaced by his son, Delsacis, the income has increased and the royal family has received a good amount of money, so there is nothing to be said.
　Delsacis's abilities in management were relatively high, and he was able to produce results by using mages and alchemists to make fermented foods, wine, and even cosmetics.
　The employment rate for mages has also increased considerably. Although the faction was small, it made more money in sales than any other faction.
　The reason for their success was their high quality and reasonable prices.

　In a room of the workshop that produced these products, Delsacis and Croisus met with the Dwarven craftsmen to discuss the magic gun.
　When it comes to research, Croisus's passion is not just unexpected, but crazy, and he immediately disassembled the precious old relic of a magic gun that was entrusted to him and examined its structure.
　On top of that, he drew up a blueprint of the basic form without the internal magic-powered parts. It was almost identical in structure to the firearms on Earth.

And this is the basic structure of a magic gun. Well, the old one may have many other functions, but I can't test it because there are many unidentified mechanisms and parts. This drawing is based on the flintlock rifle made by the Holy Law Goddess of Metis, and is just my own idea of the structure.
"I would like you all to make a prototype of this magic gun. Of course, you will have to try various experiments such as the strength of the metal and the simplification of the structure.

　After disassembling the old weapon and drawing out the mechanism other than the magic machine parts, Croisus announced it in front of the craftsmen along with Delsacis today.
　As a result of examining the old relics overnight, Croisus' eyes had dark circles around them, as if he hadn't slept enough. He is a truly unfortunate magic geek.

The artisans he had gathered were all people Delsacis trusted, and they were staring at the plans with glazed eyes at the mention of a new weapon.
　Behind them, Ad was frantically working on the parts of the magical motor.
　Incidentally, before this meeting, Croisus had crowded Ad, asked him the names of the gun parts as far as he could tell, and added them to the blueprints.

"Hey, why are you talking about such an important matter near me?　It's not like you're pressuring me, saying, 'Now that I've heard it, I'm not going to miss it!

　It's understandable that Ad would think so, but the fact is that there was no room available.
　The mass production of the magic motor carriage is also inadequate at the moment, both in terms of manpower and equipment. Even if there are alchemists who specialize in metalworking, their skills vary from person to person.
　There is an urgent need to train mages and alchemists who are suitable for the work, and Ad is trying to show them the work so that they can serve as an example. The purpose is to inspire the others by showing them his high technical skills.
　Of course, there was no way that Ad could understand what was going on behind the scenes, so the meeting continued without him being scared.

"Mr. Chairman, may I have a word?
"Hmm, what is it?
"From the looks of it, the strength of this chamber is going to be important, but before that, why does ...... already have a name for the part?　I can't help but be curious.
It's because Ad-dono there knew of a similar weapon. However, the weapon seems to be a gunpowder type, and since it is not a magic ignition type, there is not much ammunition in the magazine. This drawing is based on Lord Ad's opinion.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. Duke Delsacis, what did you tell him about me?

　Ad also seems to be tired thanks to the research fool (Croisus) .

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
I'm not sure what to make of this.

　All of the craftsmen in the room focused their gaze on Ad's back as he learned about the unknown weapon.
　Of course, Ad knows a little more about gun construction than a layman, but he is not a technician who can make an actual gun. There were many things that only a hobbyist and engineering college graduate like Xelloss could understand, such as strength calculations and internal mechanism modifications.
　The old man had helped build a robot when he was in college, and he had a lot of experience in calculating the strength of the metals used and simulating the balance of the center of gravity.
　His background was different from that of an ordinary college dropout.

"Well, let's keep talking. This weapon ejects small metal bullets with magical firepower, but we know that it will cause a certain amount of recoil. If the structure can't withstand this impact, then it's useless.
"I see. Well, bowguns have a similar recoil, but is it greater than that?
In the event that the bullet is pushed forward from the chamber by firepower, even a small amount of firepower is added to the power in one direction by the narrow space inside. The firepower and recoil should be seen as depending on the magic formula.
"So the magic formula has to be adjusted according to the size and weight of the bullet, right?　This is difficult for us craftsmen.
"That would be the work of mages and alchemists. I'd like to see their skills improve.
『『『『『hi～～～～～～～～～!!!』』』』』

　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.
　Magical ignition devices are the domain of mages, and no matter how strong the body is, it will be useless if the essential parts are inferior. Above all, dwarves have a strong tendency to dislike half-hearted work, and if you try to fail, you will receive an iron fist.
　But fortunately, the mages were relieved that they were in different departments, and they felt sorry for the other mages who would have to go through hell.
　Yes, up until this moment, they had been someone else's problem.

This is the heart of the drug chamber, and it requires a magic formula to be built into the back. You pull the trigger, the magic flows, and it ignites. Would you prefer to use the [Fire] technique?
No, you can drop it a bit and use the [Torch].
"Wait, that's not enough firepower. First of all, that magic doesn't have explosive power, does it?
If that's the case, then we can create a formula that encourages explosions. Well, you'll have to experiment a few times.
「「「「「 That's what mages do. 」」」」」
『『『『『 Don't put pressure on me!　And I'm not in charge of this department. 』』』』』

　I'm not in charge of this department!
　The department that Ad is in is in charge of manufacturing the parts for the magic motor.


　I was currently frantically carving a formula for generating magnetic force into a plate, but I didn't want to stress myself out on the side.
　If I failed, the other craftsmen, including the dwarves who were making the plates, might beat me up.
　Dwarven artisans will hit you if you fail in your work, regardless of the department you are in charge of. Even the theories and empirical experiments that mages talked about were based on dwarven values.
　Dwarves are indeed craftsmen, but they are also a rough race. Even when they experimented with magic formulas over and over again, they believed that they could succeed in one shot if they were willing to die.

Mithril is not strong enough.
"Before that, how can you carve a magic formula into such a small part?
"Even if we mix it with other metals, we need to check its strength. But I don't think the current mages can engrave a magic formula this small. Shall I give them hell until they can?
"Hmm ......, I think they should be overworked and trained so they don't die.
I heard a construction worker I know has some good energy pills. Take one and you'll be working like a horse. You want me to get you some?
」」」」」

　And dwarves are inflexible.
　They are obsessed with the lure of creating new weapons, and their overflowing, fierce, passionate pathos as artisans never stops, turning into a shura of work when it comes to completing the desired object.
　They don't listen to what others say, and fulfill their duties no matter what the cost. It is the mages who will be sacrificed. It's not even an excuse that they are in different departments.
　They will break through the recklessness and destroy or crush the reason by force. That is the race of dwarves. It will be a dangerous and harsh battlefield in another sense, where even black companies will flee naked.
　The word "human rights" does not even exist in the dictionary of dwarves.

"Well, you're very motivated. This is very promising.
「「「「「 Chairman Ohhhh!　I don't know why they assume we're going to die a horrible death. 」」」」」
I'm sure you'll agree that this is a great idea.
I'm sure you're not the only one who can't stop thinking about work. You'll be able to think of nothing but your work, and your skills will improve, and you'll be happy.
You're unlucky to be with us. From now on, you'll only be puppets for precision work.
Let's sweat it out together. What?
「「「「「 I hate it! 」」」」」

　It reminds me of some civil construction company.
　As the doors of hell opened, the mages instinctively sensed the danger and were terrified.
"We can't stay here, we have to get out of here now! The alarm bells are ringing at full force.

Chairman, please help me!
I'm overwhelmed, too!
Please call in some of your bored colleagues from other departments as sacrifices or helpers!
If we don't, we'll be killed!　We're in the wrong department, after all!
We'll never get the magic motor back in time!

　A desperate plea.
　The dwarves also have their reasons for sticking with them.
　The mages in charge of the magical motors are the most skilled of the Solstaires, and there is no substitute for them.
　The other mages are not one, but three steps behind them in technology. It was obvious that they would be noticed by the dwarves.
　It was a mistake to start the meeting in this room in the first place.

...... There are some things I can't do. Please give up.
「「「「「 Chairman ohhhhh!!!」」」」」

　Delsacis was cold.
　After all, he was a busy man. Not only does he hold the title of Duke, but he also holds a variety of other positions, and his workload is at a level that makes you think he is crazy.
　That's why he dismisses trivial matters without a second thought.
　Perhaps it was because he was too lazy to deal with the dwarves.

"Run!　If you stay here, you'll die of exhaustion!
All hands, move out!
I'm not going to be overworked!
Whoa! I'm not letting you go!
Do you really think you can retreat in front of us?
Heh heh ...... It's time to get to work, huh?　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　It's a good thing I'm not the only one.

I'm not sure what to do.　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
「「「「 hehehehe ...... where are we going?　I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

　And then the big fight begins.
　Fistfights, objects flying around, people flying through the air.
　In the midst of the chaos, only Ad, who is able to muffle all signs of life, is able to reach the point of escape.

"Where do you think you're going, Mister Ad?
"What?　The Duke of Delsacis ......, what brings you there?



　When I retreated to the entrance, I found Delsacis standing right next to the door.

I'd like you to be a part of this project.
No, if that's the case, you can always ask Mr. Xelloss. ......
"I'm afraid Mr. Xelloss does not take part in such state affairs. He is currently working to improve the efficiency of the magic formulas being sold in this country, and he has contributed enough to our country. He was also the one who came up with the idea for the magical moat carriage, right?
"Ugh. ......
I'm sure he made a prototype that was easier for us to build, leaving as much room for improvement as possible so that you could live together as a couple, with less performance than the cars in your world. From the information you've given me so far, I don't think you're very familiar with mechanical technology.
"No, I've built a car myself.

　Delthasys is right.
　The "light wagon" that Ad had built was magnificent in terms of its shape alone, but the concept was that everything other than the basic structure was neglected, and that it was sufficient to run.
　It had no air conditioning and no power steering. There was no way to know the structure of the gear shift of the AT, and it was possible to travel long distances forcibly only by the performance of the magic battery.
　The only thing that could be praised was the excellent suspension, which in a sense was similar to the structure of the magic motor carriage.

I'm sure you know the basic structure, but you can't make the detailed parts, can you?　I've seen the blueprints for the magic gun, and the names of the parts are unclear.
I don't know how you can see through that. ......
Hmm, you need to learn a few tricks. If you fall for this kind of cajolery, you'll soon find yourself in the clutches of the best merchants.
"Ugh, you're just like ...... Zeroth.
"I really enjoy talking to you ......, Lord Xellos. He seems to be aloof, but he is trying to read the other side of your words. He's not a tough guy, but he doesn't let you off the hook. They may look like that, but they're probably wary of the powers that be.
"...... Ugh.

　Both Zeroth and Delsasis have their own interests at heart.
　There is a little bit of bargaining, but the interests are often aligned, and there is little conflict. In this sense, they can be said to be each other's best partners, since compromises can be reached quickly.
　However, Ad is more of a sucker. He has a low tolerance for bellyaching.
　This is because he has little experience in such things, but you can't blame him for that.

What? I'm not asking you to make a magic gun. Just give me advice when I need it.
You mean like a consultant?
Yeah. We're also behind on the production of the magic motor. We can't afford any more work, can we?　Above all, I really don't want to make an enemy of Xelloss-dono.
The problem is that there aren't enough mages, isn't it?
I've been looking for someone who can help me with this, but I can't seem to find anyone who meets my requirements. It's a very troubling situation. We have no choice but to forcefully train them.

　A mage who can use magic has a different meaning from a mage who understands magic.
　The mages needed for development must have a thorough understanding of magic, and on top of that, they must have the skills of an engineer.
　It's not easy to find a mage with those requirements.

I'm also involved with the Isaras Kingdom.
I'll take care of that. I'll take care of it. - No, not badly. Just keep doing what you're doing and give me your opinion when I need it.
"Well, that's about it. ....... I don't want to be used by the government either.
Leave it to me, that's my business. Above all, you have something to do, don't you?　I'm not going to stand in the way of that.
"Can I trust ......?
I told you, didn't I?　I don't want to make an enemy of Lord Xellos. I'm not going to use you, his friend, ...... to my advantage, I can't say that for sure.

　In other words, they would use each other for their own mutual benefit.
　This is a hint that even an ad would notice.
　Moreover, the fact that he can say "use" in front of you shows how good a businessman Delsacis is. Or perhaps I should say "vessel".

"Huh, I'll have to rely on you either way. Mr. Xelloss seems to trust you, so I'll take you up on that.
You seem to understand.
But we're not going to participate in a war between countries, okay?　We have a duty to the Kingdom of Issaras.
"Hmm. Then we'll give some support to the Kingdom of Issaras. I'll use your name, though.
Well, it's my fault for being so careless with the state. It's my fault for being inadvertent with the state, and I'd like to owe them something to get out of it, but I don't have it in me right now. ......
I'll take care of that for you. I'm sure you've heard of it.　I'm not sure. I'll get in touch with him and see if I can get that country to work.
......... What are you doing?
"What are you doing?" "The Holy Justice Kingdom of Metis doesn't have the capacity to move a large army at the moment. We'll just give Isaras what he wants.


...... You're a scary guy. I don't know how Xellos can keep up with you.

　From Ad's point of view, Delsacis is like an unfathomable abyss.
　To be honest, he seemed to be a person who could do some nasty things with impunity, to the point where I wondered if I should consider him an ally. That hunch was not entirely wrong.
　He is the current Duke.

"As far as I'm concerned, you are more dangerous. But I'm not going to kill you just because you're dangerous. I don't think I'm that stupid.
So you're saying there's a lot of bang for the buck here?
Exactly. It is a loss to the world to use talented people for nothing. Disposing of them just because they can use powerful magic is the height of folly. Shouldn't the world be run by the right people in the right places?
"Well, that's how it was in our world. Not everything will work out. ......
You can't be successful in everything. You can't be successful in everything. Half of everything is enough to make the world go round. People are not gods.
I think you might be able to do that.
...... If I could do that, I would have no trouble. I've only known one person who could pull that off.

　Ad did not understand the meaning of Delsacis' words.
　The person he was referring to was Celestina's mother, Milena.
She and her family were at the mercy of the cursed fate of [prediction of the future], and her family risked their lives to erase its power, which was fulfilled in the generation of Milena, the last of them.
　She was tormented by wailing and despair, but she persisted in erasing the bloodline magic of future prediction from the world. Delsasys had more than respect for Mirena and her bloodline.

I'm not asking you to trust me. But I do expect you to have some faith.
"Okay. I believe you. ....... I'll trust you ...... if you mess with my daughter and Yu.
I won't play that foolish card. I'll leave it to you. I'll leave it to you. ...... Looks like they're done talking.

　If you're not sure what you're looking for, you might want to check out this website.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

In another sense, aren't they more dangerous?　I'm afraid of the dwarf race.
"I can't help that. It's important for humans to give up.
It's important for humans to give up.

　The craftsmanship of the Dwarves is such that even Delsacis is spoonfed.
　In another sense, it was Ad who learned that this world is dangerous.
　There are no labor standards laws in this world yet.


　　...


　Alfia Megas, who regained control from Windir, one of the four gods.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where by and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　Gaianess, the goddess of the earth.
　Normally, I'd want to forcibly take away her control, but she's the only one of the four goddesses I can think of. The reason is...

"He's never taken the initiative in a fight with me. He was reluctant to fight me while getting his ass kicked by fire and water, and most importantly, he's an idiot. ......

　Of course, I have a grudge.
　But now that he had regained control of one of his powers, he felt more relaxed, and he thought back to the past and realized that Gaianess had never taken hostile action of her own volition.
　As far as I could tell from the Akashic Records, the earth goddess seemed to be asleep most of the time.
　Only the three pillars tried desperately to escape from the chase, but Gaianess was just being dragged along. It seems that they had no intention to escape in the first place.
　After all, this earth goddess is a sickly lazy person. It is highly likely that she does not care about the authority of the world right now.

I'll wake her up and talk to her to see if there are any extenuating circumstances.

　Alfea pokes Gaianes lightly with her foot.

"Nuh ...... who?
"Long time no see, Earth.
"Good night, ..........
Don't go back to sleep!

　I'm not going to go back to sleep!" Alfia's kick sent Gaianes flying high into the air, and he was caught in the branches of a large tree like a comforter.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

"Mmm ......, I'm so sleepy ....... What do you want?
You know the answer.　I want my Lord's control back.


...... Evil God?　............ Why don't you take it on your own?　I don't want it.
"You may, but ....... What do you mean, you have no desire to be a god?
No. ......... I don't want to manage the world. I want to sleep every day.
You're a real piece of work.

　He was a hardcore slacker.
　Sleeping is the ultimate for Gaianess, and he has no desire to work at all.
　He was lazier than a recluse who loses if he works.

...... The reason I'm here in the first place is because there are two noisy people in the sanctuary. I was looking for a comfortable place to sleep because of the noise, but I got bored and went to bed.
...... I wonder... I've been holding a grudge for a long time since I was sealed, but looking at you makes me feel like a fool. ......
I'm going to be able to sleep well with the seal ...... quiet. I want to sleep forever. ......

　This is the first time I've ever seen someone want to be sealed up.
　I'm too lazy to do anything about it.

"Oh, well. Once I regain control, my shackles will be removed. I don't know how much more I'll be able to do.
......, what does it do?
"It will make transmutation easier. At this point, just making a pillow would wipe out half the world.
"............ pillow. I'll give you back control and you can have the best pillows and comforters you've ever had.
"You think you're in a position to make demands?　Well, I can't say for sure until I try. ......
"If not, I offer you Flawless and Aquilata. Pillows, please. Give me a comforter!
"......... This is the kind of thing that's been bothering me?　I can't help but cry.

　The four gods don't seem to have much camaraderie.
　They are basically self-centered and will abandon even the same four gods if it suits them.
　However, it seemed that they could at least negotiate peacefully with Gaianess. When I think about it, I wonder what all the trouble I've gone through is really worth.

Then you can have it back. ......

　Alfea put her hand on Gaianes' chest and began to interfere with the material within.
　The condition is the same as in Windir, most of its functions are still asleep.
　By reading the information contained within and installing it into herself, she awakened the dormant functions of the material.
　In the end, a golden sphere appeared from Gaianess' ample bosom and was absorbed by Alfea.

Absorbing the nucleus ......, the necessary restrictions are lifted at this time, and the energy supply from the higher dimensions begins to be controlled, corresponding to the environment of the three-dimensional world ........... Create avatar, simultaneously begin to transport and construct main body in space: ......

　With two restrictions lifted, Alfea has been released with a power so powerful that she can no longer operate on the planet, but this does not mean that the other two powers can be retrieved.
　Therefore, it was necessary to transfer the main body to the vast space and construct a pseudo-body (avatar) that could operate on the ground, and I did both of them at the same time.
　The body transferred to the vastness of space has expanded its information-processing capability to the extent that it can learn not only information about the planet it is currently on but also the environment of planets thousands of light years away, but conversely, that is all.
　Since the authority to interfere with events has not yet been released, what Alfea can do is almost the same as the Akashic Records. It was the accumulation and storage of information.
　The only other thing she can do is to interfere with and manipulate the dragon veins and convert them into matter, but it is unknown what effect manipulating the dragon veins will have on this world if she does not have the materials to manage them.

"......... not yet. I can't be complete until the other protections are removed. I wish the Creator had been more flexible with the system.

　It is unusual for an administrator to be out of control.
　Alfea still doesn't understand the thinking of the higher dimensional beings, the creators who did this.
　Or, more accurately, she doesn't want to understand it. .......

...... pillows, comforters. Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me.
...... Why are you such a disappointment when you look like a beautiful, well-built woman?
"Luxury pillows, luxury comforters. .......... It's a supreme existence!　Whaaaaa~
Wait, aren't you increasing the quality?　Well, that's about all I can offer. ......

　Since matter transformation has little to do with the event management system, it was a piece of cake for the pseudo-body Alfea.
　In the previous stage, creating something out of nothing was so difficult to control that it could wipe out an entire continent, but in the pseudo-body (avatar), the power that can be used is limited and control is easy.
　Although it has only a few functions, it is more than enough to operate on a planet.

"Selling control for pillows and comforters. ......

　Alfia was a little shocked that the power to control a world was lost to a pillow and a down comforter.
　Although she had many thoughts on the matter, she dutifully materialized and produced a pillow and a down comforter.

"Here, this is good, right?
"Oh ......, the feel of this down comforter, the elasticity of the pillow is just right ......, this is the ultimate!　This is the ultimate handsome.
What the heck is this ...... thing?
"The fit of the pillow!　The comfy warmth of the down comforter!　Great job. ....... God of coasting pajamas, I'll follow you for the rest of my life.
Who is the god of coasting pajamas?



　Alfia Megas.
　On this day, she received a new title to succeed the Observers' Hina and the Evil God.
　That title is the Pajama God of Coasting.
　Having acquired a lazy subordinate, from this day onwards Gaianess begged her for a good night's sleep.
　The goddess of the earth also changed her job to the goddess of laziness from this day.
　The goddess of the earth also changed her job to the goddess of laziness.
