There are only two days left until the Treasure Tree Festival. We're planning to head there the day before, so we'll be leaving for the Elf Forest tomorrow.
　The Elven Forest seems to be an extremely lush place, and since this is the first time I'm going out of the Symphonia royal capital, I'm really looking forward to it.
　And I've been thinking about the means of self-defense for some time now, and Kuro has taught me a new magic, so I'll be able to protect myself when the time comes........

I'm sure you'll be able to tell. I'm sure it's starting to take shape, but Kite, you shouldn't use this magic too much. It's a heavy burden on your body, too. Well, I think you're feeling it now...
...my whole body hurts.
Come on, I'm gonna cast a recovery spell, so just stay put.

　I've learned new magic, and as a result of that, I've been lying on the ground with a painful muscle ache all over my body, but Kuro smiles and casts a recovery spell on me.
　The warm light envelops me, and the numbing pain in my body eases.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of this new technology.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get the job done.

Speaking of which, I had a question for Black.
Yeah?
'Is there a magic tool in this world that resembles a machine called a calculator that was in my world?
Dentaq?　What kind of Kikai Seihin is that?

　Apparently the calculator wasn't conveyed to me by the other brave actors, so I go on to explain the calculator to Black.
　I wondered for a moment why the mayonnaise and such is also conveyed but not the calculator, but when I thought about it, it never occurred to me until I saw Lilia-san struggling with her calculations.
　It's a good idea to have a preconceived notion of what is wrong with mechanical products, because as soon as I came to this world, I had a preconceived notion of what is wrong with mechanical products, and I didn't think about the possibility of reproducing it with magical tools, because I didn't know that magical tools can be made individually.

　I'm sure you have the same preconceived notions about the brave men and women of the past. It's a good thing that you're busy with your own business.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to be so busy with accounting, compared to food, clothing and books for entertainment.

　Thinking about this, I told Black about the calculator and asked him if there was something similar.　I ask if it's possible to recreate it if it's not there.

''........Did you think of that, Kite-kun?''
'What?　No, it was just a common tool in the world I was in.
....

　After finishing listening to me, Black looked quite surprised at first, then he put his hand to his chin and became silent for a while.

'.........I can reproduce it, right? But I didn't think about it. It's true that if you record the calculation formula as an art form, you can calculate it in an instant, but........
But?
'I didn't think about that at all. Magic and math are two different things, and the idea of using magic to support calculations was never even a thought. If you ask me, I don't know why I hadn't thought of that before.

　If you ask me, it makes sense.
　The machines in our world the science is, in a sense, connected with mathematics from the beginning.
　But the magic in this world is a separate entity from science, and it seems that there was no idea of connecting it to mathematics.
　In that sense, the person who made the first calculator and computer must have been a real genius.......

　Black is silent again for a while, then he takes out a piece of paper and a pen and writes something on it.
　And when he's done, his black coat spreads out like a curtain and he calls out to it.

'Zechs, are you there?'
'What's wrong?　Hmm?　This is Mister Miyama. It's been a while.
It's been a while. Mr. Zechs.

　From there, Zechs appeared, wearing a mask that looked like something some tribe might use in a ritual, and even though we've met before, I was surprised when a hand with only a bone appeared.
　As I recall, from what I heard when I met him before, he usually wears a ceremonial mask to make it easier to distinguish him from other rich people.
　It's certainly easy to recognize, but this makes it look like a carnival-like outfit. Well, that's my personal hobby, so I'll try not to interfere.

　After exchanging a brief greeting with Zechs-san when he appeared, Kuro handed Zechs-san a piece of paper on which he had just written something.

I'm going to have to say that I made a magic formula for this, the magic tool that Kaito-kun thought up, but...
.........What an idea!

　No, it wasn't my idea, I was just giving you the details of the tools that were in the original world...

What do you think?
...there's going to be a revolution.
Can we start mass production?
Yes, as expected of you, Chrome-sama. With this technique, it can be made fairly inexpensively.

　Well, what is it?　I feel like the story is getting bigger and bigger.
　I was thinking of having Kuro make a calculator-like magic tool and present it to Lilia-san, but Kuro and Zechs's behavior is unusual.

I'm sure you're not the only one. It's a good idea to make this at my place of business and sell it.
'What?　Oh, yeah. I don't mind that at all, but... I mean, it's not like I invented it.

　Black asks me with a somewhat serious expression, and I reply that of course that's fine with me.
　Then Black nods once and turns to Zechs-san.

''Thank you. Then, Zechs.
''Yes, then, Miyama-dono's right how about 'half of the net profit' from this magic tool?'''
Huh?

　Huh?　It's getting to be a strange storyline. Half of the net profit?　Does that mean I get paid?

You'll be paying on a monthly basis, basically.
Uh, no, no, wait a minute!　It's not something I invented, it's something from the original world...
No. In this world, you're the inventor, Kite.
"Huh?

　What do you want to do?　
　It's not that I don't like getting paid either, but I'm only in this world for a year, and even now it's doubtful that I'll be able to spend the money that Lilia-san gave me, but Lilia. Three?　Ah, yes.


Yes, of course, that's fine with me. What to do with that right is up to you, Miyama-dono. But if you do, it would be better to have a talk with Prince Albert as well.
'Yes. Oh, that's right. You're going to Lilia's next time, right, Zechs?　Why don't you bring Kaito-kun in on the discussion then?
''Hmmm... so in the meantime, let's make this magic tool and let you see it in action.
Oh, that's very helpful.

　It seems that it's a done deal to have a calculator made for me, which should make Lilia's job a lot easier.
　To be honest, I just need enough money to enjoy this world, and if Lilia-san doesn't mind, I'm fine with handing over all the rights and such to her.

　Dear Mom, Dad - when I talked about getting Black to make me a calculator, we talked a lot about rights and all that stuff. The bottom line is that if I can make a calculator in the world, I'm going to be the - apparently, the patent holder.

















　The sound of the pen that was echoing in the quiet office stopped and Lilia raised her face that was pointed at the documents.

''........What is it?　I've got a terrible chill now...
