"Mister Ars, I have a few words with you. May I have a word?"

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

"What's the matter, Mr. Peacha? What's the matter, Mr. Peacha?

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

Mm-hmm. The magic I purchased from your brother at the New Year's celebration is working fine. I did not expect that you would sell your own magic.

"I see. How did you like the Reed family's magic?　I think it's pretty useful. ......"

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

"Yes. I've actually used it, and I think it's certainly more useful. But there are some things that are bothering me.

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

"Is that a concern?"

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

"Yes. The [automatic operation] will hardly be a problem, but the effect of [speed reading] is that the user's comprehension will be significant. No matter how instantly a text is understood, it is meaningless if the reader does not have the knowledge to understand the content of the text."

"That is true. But I explained that earlier, didn't I?"

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

"Yes, but I felt that the comprehension requirements were higher than I expected. To be able to work with this magic you must actually be a leader in governance. But such an important person cannot be named by another family. In terms of mastering the magic, I can say that it is difficult to select the right person for the job.

"...... certainly is. I understand. From now on, when I sell the Reed family's magic, I will make sure to explain this to them. Thank you for your advice, Mr. Picha.

"No, this is no big deal. No, it's not a big deal.

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

"Main subject?　What's going on?

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

"Oh, actually, it's hard to say, but ......, you're not going to sell your magic, are you?"

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

"What?　Is it my magic?"

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

"Yes. To be honest, however useful the Reed family's magic may be, it is no match for your magic. I feel that I would like to have Barka's magic.

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

"The Magic of Barca at ....... No, you can't do that, Mr. Peacha. Kyle's magic is an exception because it is a magic without any offensive power. If I give you my Barca magic, it will inevitably be accompanied by Fontana's ice magic as well. I cannot make a business out of it.

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

"I see. Well, I guess you're right."

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

"I mean, why did you suddenly start talking like that, Mr. Peacha?

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

"Don't you understand?　I am in charge of Fort Einrad. And Fort Einrad was built by you.

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

"No, you built the fort together, didn't you, Mr. Peacha?

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

"Don't be ridiculous. I was just there. It was definitely you who built Fort Einrad. And it is also thanks to your power, Barca, that Fort Einrad can be used to its best advantage.

"The power of Barca?"

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

"Yes. I mean, think about it. Fort Einrad is equipped with a large number of stone throwers. The bricks made with your brick-making magic are the easiest to throw. The current defense of Fort Einrad desperately needs the bricks of Barca.

　I see.

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

　You may have a point.

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

　That's what I thought when I heard what Picha said.

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

　I attended a New Year's celebration early in the year and sold Kyle's magic at the banquet.

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

　I made money by deviating slightly from the unspoken rules of naming in this world, where Kyle receives money for naming.

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

　Naturally, there were not a few people who did not like it.

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

　But the fact that Carlos, the first head of the family, had purchased Kyle's magic, prevented any objections.

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

　If he had complained to me, he would have criticized the actions of the head of the family.

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

　Carlos seemed to be a man who would take advantage of any opportunity that came his way, and I guess you could say that it helped us.

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

　Then, other interested knights asked me to give magic to their own people.

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

　I immediately tried only those that were quickly agreed upon.

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

　The effect was outstanding and everyone was amazed.

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

　But as Picha said, it may be difficult to choose the right people to receive Kyle's magic.

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

　If you are a knight family with your own domain, the person who really needs Kyle's magic is most likely to be a key person in the management of the domain.

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

　But of course such a person is already in some kind of position.

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

　Or rather, in other places there is no division into civilian and military positions, which is not the case in Barka.

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

　In other places, however, there is no such thing as a civilian or a military officer.

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

　So, inevitably, a knight, or a man who will become a knight, will need Kyle's magic.

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

　But of course, we cannot let such a person take the name of the Reed family.

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

　Then, we can't let someone who is not so important take the name of the Reed family, can we?

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

　I am asking Kyle to pay a good amount of money for the name.

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

　I guess I'm just asking if it's worth it to spend a lot of money to give a person who can't do the job a chance to use magic.

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

　It is true that choosing the right person to whom Kyle should bestow his magic must be a difficult task.

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

　But that was not Peacha's main point.

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

　To my surprise, Picha wanted to sell me the magic of Barca.

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

　What does this mean?

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

　It is not normal to name my magic, which contains offensive magic, after Picha's subordinate.

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

　I think Picha knows that without being told by me. .......

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

　Certainly, in terms of defending Fort Einrad, it would be better to have Barka's magic.

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

　But it is obviously not right if we need to sell Barca's magic just for the sake of a stone thrower.

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

　Then, just buying the bricks would serve the purpose.

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

　...... I see.

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

　Maybe there is a reason why that is not enough.

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

　They dare to say that they need Barka's power when they know it is impossible to buy Barka's magic.

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

　In other words, Picha may be trying to say that Barka's power, i.e., military power, is necessary for Fort Einrad.

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

　During the previous banquet, he said that the defense of Fort Einrad would not be a problem.

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

　However, it could not be said openly that it would be difficult to defend here, which is the residence of Carlos.

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

　So, once the magic of the Reed family had been purchased for a high price, they came to talk to me like this.

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

"Yes, that's right: ....... As I said before, it would be difficult to sell the name of Barca. So, instead of that, shall we send someone from here?　How about sending people with the surname Barka, who can make bricks, to Fort Einrad?"

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

"Well, I certainly asked too much of you," he said. I am sorry for what I said to you. Please forgive me. I am grateful for your offer. It would be very helpful if those with the surname of Barca would come to Einrad."

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

"Yes, sir. In exchange, please play up the dispatch fee, Mr. Picha.

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

"Okay. We were the ones who asked for the impossible. I'll do my best.

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

　Thus, I decided to send a man from Barca to Fort Einrad.
