"Hmmm, that's what a clothing fair is for: ....... Oh, there you are. Hey, Gran."

"Mister Ars, is it? What's the matter, that it is?

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

"No, I was wondering what happened to the rubber you asked for before. You've been experimenting with the sap you've been collecting, haven't you?"

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

Oh, that's it. It is finished for the time being, that it is. It is made to collect sap and harden, that it is. It will grow properly, as Mister Ars said, that it will.

"Oh, really? That's amazing. It's already done. Thanks for working so fast."

　After talking with Lilina about the clothing fair, I met up with Gran in the heavenly realm.

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

　There I asked him about the progress of his research on the sap he had obtained in the west, and it seemed that he was getting results faster than I had expected.

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

　Gran handed me a sheet of rubber.

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

　When I pulled on the rubber sheet, it stretched properly.

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

　Perhaps this was the right rubber.

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

　I was surprised that he made the rubber more easily than I had expected.

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

　I had expected it to take much longer since I had given him a research project to create something never seen before, using a material he had never seen before.

　However, when Gran told me how to make the rubber sheet, I was convinced.

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

　Apparently, he had used an existing method and it had worked immediately.

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

　The method Gran used to make the rubber was paper making.

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

　The process of making paper from wood fibers.

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

　He tried to use the same process to make rubber.

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

　First, the sap collected in the west was filtered to clean it from the mixture of solids and impurities.

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

　Then, the sap was cleaned further by [washing] after the impurities were removed.

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

　Then, to the [cleaned] sap, they mix the sticky juice of mashed potatoes mixed with a small amount of poison from the northern forests, and also put in a medicine to restore magic power.

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

　This process is also used in paper making, and has the effect of making the paper look like very smooth, high-quality paper.

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

　In the case of making rubber sheets, this process is said to help the sap harden uniformly and eventually make the sheets stretch well and resist tearing.

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

　The mixed liquid is poured into a mold and allowed to solidify into a sheet.

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

　When the sheet is left to dry for a while, a stretchy rubber sheet is produced.

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

　I never thought that the hard work of making paper would be put to good use here.

　I guess you never know what life has in store for you.

"So, what are you going to do with this rubber sheet, that you are, Mr. Ars?

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

"Well, yes. I'm thinking of making a tire that can be attached to a wheel, but I'm not sure that's what I want right now. I'm wondering if we can somehow attach this rubber sheet to the wheel.

"For a dependent, that it is?"

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

"Yes. The craftsmen didn't like the last spherical-jointed dolls. I was wondering if there was a way to hide the joints."

　A competition to select the clothes of God.

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

　The criterion for passing the examination is whether or not the clothes are suitable for God's servants.

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

　But to begin with, the magical dolls that are God's dependents are still in an incomplete state.

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

　When Gran and I were making the magic doll, we thought that Aisha should be able to move her body more easily, so we were thinking of making a sphere-jointed doll that uses a sphere for its joints.

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

　However, this idea was opposed at every turn by Lilina, Clarice, and the sculptors they commissioned to work on the doll.

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

　It is not beautiful.

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

　That was the common opinion of the opponents.

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

　The joints of a spherically-articulated doll are, of course, round balls, which are exposed and visible.

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

　However, it is said that the sculptors, who were striving to create the body of God, could not allow an ugly spherical object to be embedded in the joints of the ideal sculpture they were trying to create, and even to remain visible from the outside.

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

　However, when the sculptors actually made the dolls, they found that the joints of the dolls moved more smoothly as magic dolls than the sculptors had done with the sculptures as they were.

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

　If the body is to be actually used by a god, it would be better to be able to reproduce everyday movements to a level close to that of human senses.

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

　Gran and I argued so, but it seemed that the spherical joints were unacceptable in front of the opponents' sense of aesthetics.

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

　Therefore, for the time being, the object of worship that we are giving to you is not a spherical joint.

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

　However, this did not mean that they gave up on it.

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

　If we cannot allow the joint mechanism, which is different from that of human beings, to be exposed for aesthetic reasons, how about making it invisible?

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

　With this in mind, I was also researching the creation of a dependent.

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

　However, when I saw this rubber, I had a thought.

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

　I wondered if it would be possible to hide the joints by taking advantage of the elastic nature of the rubber.

"So, you're thinking of wrapping a magic doll made of hardened bricks with rubber, that you are?

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

"That's right, Gran. What do you think?　This rubber stretches well, so even if it covers the body, there are no restrictions on movement. And if it can be used to wrap the body as it is activated from the core of the spirit stone, like demon armor, wouldn't it be less likely to get in the way?"

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

"Hmmm. I don't know if it can be done in the same way as the demon armor, that I don't know, but if Mister Ars says so, I'll try it once, that I will.

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

"That's Gran. You know what you're talking about. I'm looking forward to working with you.

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

　Thus, even though the rubber was only completed for the time being, I moved on to the next step in my rubber research.

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

　Well, I think it was an outlandish idea, even though I had come up with it myself.

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

　I had a feeling that it would be a little difficult to make a doll skin out of rubber.

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

　But again, Gran did it.

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

　He made a skin that fits the magic doll perfectly.

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

　It seemed that Gran had taken advantage of the Boutica family's "synthesis.

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

　They had synthesized the finished rubber sheet, slime, and human skin.

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

　Incidentally, the human skin was never removed from a living person.

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

　But the source of the meme seems to be a mad scientist meme.

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

　I was curious, so I checked with the meme later, and it seems that the meme is into tissue culture these days.

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

　After seeing me heal a human defect with [Recovery], he thought that if defects can be healed by magic, it might be possible to heal them by non-magic means as well.

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

　Finally, he had succeeded in culturing skin tissues.

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

　Was this guy making I!S cells without my knowledge?

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

　Meme is one of the few people who know the cloning technology of the Taro series, and it seems that he got some hints from it, so he may have perfected a similar technology.

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

　For now, leaving the memes aside, Gran has managed to create a skin that looks as close to human skin as possible, but stretches well and has a slime-like moist and supple skin.

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

　He further modified it by using materials such as goat Achilles' tendons, like demon armor, and completed a skin made of rubber that perfectly fits the wearer and resembles human skin.

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

　Thus, the deity's dependents were transformed from being made of hardened bricks into a body that perfectly replicates human skin in appearance.
