Hey, Ars. Can I tell you something?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What the hell, Bite-Brother?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Your lair is so lame. It looks like a prison.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My brother, Bite, who was officially asked to help me with my work, was verbally abusive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're gonna stink up the lair I've built for you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I understand what he's trying to say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, it's really like a prison.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My lair was a structure I built when I cleared the forest.

　When I built this hideout, I built it quickly with magic because I didn't want to take the time and effort to build it in the woods, far from my house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But building all at once would be a failure.

　So instead of the building itself, they built the walls.

　Three walls 5 meters high and 5 meters wide were erected perpendicularly from the cleared ground in a U-shape.

　Then, another wall with an arched entrance was built in the shape of a "L".

　The roof, which is not on the ground, was made of bricks, which I stacked by myself.

　In short, my hideout was a cube-shaped building, or what you might call a tofu building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By the way, the walls are nearly 2 meters thick.

　Therefore, it may not be wrong to say that it looks like a prison.

"......Don't f*ck with me, brother Byte. I'm a man who grows day by day."

　Since I was the only one using the safe house so far, I hadn't paid much attention to the Valkyries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it's certainly not a good idea to keep it that way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would not look good to have a large plot of land and a prison cell in the middle of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, my brother's words led me to start the remodeling of the hideout.

"First, let's try it that way."

　Apart from the safe house, there had been some interesting architectural incidents before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was when I was in town with a peddler.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the town we went to, there were no wooden buildings at all, and most of the buildings were made of bricks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And in the city they were in the process of extending the walls around the perimeter, and we always saw people involved in construction somewhere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And in that city, my bricks are used.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was natural for me to be curious about how they were made.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The inn where my father and I stayed was newly built.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was for merchants to stay, not for laborers working on the expansion, but it had been built recently because of the booming economy of the expansion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I paid attention to the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The inn was not that large.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It had an entrance facing the street, but it was not that wide, and was a type of building that led to the back of the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The building itself is a two-story structure, with a reception counter at the entrance and a staircase next to the counter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the first floor, behind the counter is the dining room, kitchen, and the master's living room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Going up to the second floor, rooms are lined up on one side of the corridor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are six rooms, but each room is not that large.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If a bed were to be placed in one of the rooms, half of the room space would be gone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was observing the inn where I was staying at that time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I did not just look around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I used my magic power to investigate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The way I did it was to soak the bricks used in the inn with a concoction of magic and spread it thinly over the entire building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess it's because I'm good with earthy things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bricks soaked up the magic without much difficulty, and I succeeded in sending the magic to the whole building in a short time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And in that state, he activated the magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic of "Memory Preservation".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was just an idea that came to me when I happened to be staying at an inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it worked unexpectedly well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I succeeded in instantly memorizing the shape of the entire building without missing a single detail.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may be similar to the way computer graphics is often used to display the building plans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The entire graphic was now in my brain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My brother will be amazed if I build an inn with this perfect memory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this thought in mind, I decided to conduct an experiment to reproduce the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided to recreate the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The first time I tried to create a building with magic, I lost all my magic power and fainted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The lesson learned at that time was the hypothesis that the magic consumption of a building depends not on its area or the amount of building materials, but on its spatial capacity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that is probably not wrong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this time, I would like to break away from that hypothesis and try to construct a building at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The basis of this idea is related to the use of magic power and [memory storage] to grasp the structure of the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I passed the magic power through the bricks used in the real buildings, grasped the architectural structure, and memorized it perfectly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes, at that time, I was memorizing the magic power according to the shape of the building, not the whole space.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that when I tried to create the building that I imagined in my brain, I was not aware of what the interior space was like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I always imagined the building as seen from the outside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think this is the reason why I was wasting my magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this time, I memorized the entire building, and I remember the interior structure perfectly, from the staircase to the width of the counter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If this is the case, then I should be able to reproduce the magic power in that form before using the magic, so that I can avoid wasting the magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this thought in mind, I quietly kneaded up the magic power and poured it once into the soil of the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I send the magic into the soil to be used for the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel that the amount of magic power is enough to build the inn if I don't waste it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He regulates his breath with a sigh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He concentrates his mind and continues to manipulate the magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had a hard time before when I learned to use the magic circle and used it by myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it was difficult for me to reproduce by myself the magic circle which I saw with my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this time is different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The buildings were not memorized by visual information, but by magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We only need to reproduce the shape of the magic that we have learned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We can change the shape of the magic by changing the structure of the inn as it is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You take your time and carefully but smoothly reproduce it without tiring as much as the magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without losing concentration until the very end, we build the building with the magic power, and then, as a final touch, we transform the magic power into something tangible: bricks.

"...... is done. Success."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I had built an inn in a frighteningly short time.
