　I want to praise the former me who created the spell of [meditation].

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

　It is the only magic that can remove all fatigue after a night's sleep.

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

　But it was the existence of this magic that allowed me to work together with my creator, Gran.

　Otherwise, I might have died of exhaustion at an early age.

"Finally, the leather armor is finished. ......, I'm tired. ......"

"Well, you've done a fine job. However, I am afraid that Mr. Byte is still growing up and will soon be out of use, that I am afraid.

"No problem, I'll take it as a hand-me-down when my brother Bite can no longer wear it."

　We decided to make leather armor, but there was one problem.

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

　One problem was the size.

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

　The fur of a big boar is tanned with a medicine to restore its magic power, not shiitake mushroom tea, and processed into leather to make the armor.

　However, there was a problem that the body was a little too small to make it for me.

　Once the leather is cut in a small size, it cannot be made any bigger.

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

　Therefore, I decided to make the leather armor for my bigger brother, not for me.

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

　After all, the presence of the part-time brother is a big bonus for him, as he is able to get other people to do the work on the land.

　The body measurements are taken and the armor is made exclusively according to the measurements.

　However, he is still growing taller, and if it fits too tight, it may not fit him soon.

　Therefore, we made it larger, and made it so that it can be adjusted a little for each part.

　This way, when he is no longer able to wear it, I will be able to use it as a secondhand item.

"No, but I'm having fun every day since I came to Ars-dono, that I am. Now, Mister Ars, what are you going to make next, that you are?

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

"Why are we talking about the next one? I'm not going to keep making things.

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

That's not fair. Is Mr. Ars trying to take the fun out of it for me, that he is?

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

"If you're so sure, why don't you teach the people who work for us how to make products that sell?

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

"Mm-hmm. I don't mind if I stay here for a while, but I always want to make something new, that I do.

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

"Hmmm...well...yes. How about this?

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

　If you want to make things, I wanted you to try making something.

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

　It was something that I could not make very well.

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

　And it was something that might satisfy Gran's creativity to some extent.

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

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

"Here are the bricks I prepared. I want you to build a building with these bricks. However, do not exceed the number of bricks here. I don't know about that.

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

　My proposal to Gran was neither weapons nor armor, but building.

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

　Gran was very versatile and had knowledge of medicine as well as armors.

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

　I thought that if he was so versatile, then he might also have knowledge of building.

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

　He decided to set certain conditions for the construction of the building.

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

　That was to set an upper limit to the number of bricks to be used.

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

　The upper limit is exactly the same as the number of bricks I created when I magically recreated the inn.

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

　When I try to magically create a building that I imagined in my mind, I end up consuming magic power in proportion to the volume of the building, including all of its interior space.

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

　Therefore, I can't make a very large building only with my image.

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

　However, I once built an inn using magic in a different way.

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

　This was achieved by imbuing the actual inn with magical power and having a complete understanding of its structure.

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

　If you know the exact shape of the building you want to build with magic, you can build it with the amount of magic consumed, not in terms of volume, but in terms of the amount of building materials.

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

　In other words, the number of bricks that I can successfully build is the same as the total number of bricks used for a two-story inn in the current situation.

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

　So I decided to give that number of bricks to Gran to build a new building.

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

　If Gran is able to build a good building, I will magically "store" it in my memory.

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

　That way, I will be able to reproduce that building again and again, anytime in the future.

Can you do that?　I'm telling you, use the bricks as efficiently as possible and make the building spacious. Tofu buildings are out of the question, too."

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

"I see, you want me to build a building with conditions, that you do. That is an interesting request. It is a simple condition, that it is a good opportunity to show our ideas, that it is. Normally, we would think of how big and luxurious a building we can make, no matter how many bricks we use, that we can make.

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

"We don't need that big of a building at the moment," he said.

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

"I have a question, that is, can we use only bricks, that we can?"

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

"You can use mortar or something to hold the bricks together. Oh, and I'd like it to be made of something that people can live in.

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

That's fine, that it is. I accept the challenge from Mr. Ars, that I do. I will make it right away, that I will.

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

　Thus, Gran took my order and began building.
