It's been a long time since I released my scouts, but I haven't received any significant news. Maybe the boundaries of the world are being broken even as we do this.
　Even if God is in charge of the world, it's not fair to ask him to notice that a page of the books on the bookshelf in his room has been gnawed by insects. I can't just stare at that page all the time.

Can't you use search magic to find the 'King' of the Frays?

　I sighed again at Else's suggestion.

'I'll say it again. I've never seen it, I don't know its features, and I'm not going to fall for something so vague. Unless there is at least a shape or something that we can determine. Besides, if it's inside a human being, you can't see it from the outside.

　My search magic "search" is not accurate. It depends on my criteria. For example, let's say there are two people in front of me. If one of them is a woman and the other is a perfectly dressed man, then the search spell will determine that they are two women.
　Of course, if they look like, "Hey, hey, no matter how you look at it, this is a man! If there's a woman who looks like "I'm a woman," she's properly searched as one man and one woman. On the contrary, if there is a woman who looks like a man in any way, it is searched as two men....
　In other words, the search is only conducted according to my criteria. It's also played by strong boundaries and such. But they do search for "similar things" and "things like that". But if they don't know what the core of the King is, they can't know what it looks like. If you are told that "this is the nucleus of the 'king'" and you believe it, the search results would be full of the nucleus of the 'king' all over the world.

I've got to admit, not everything is so convenient.

　I blurted out while using "modeling" on a bench in the corner of the training ground. Well, what can be done is done. That's what I was thinking about as I transformed the cowhide in my hand.

'Your Majesty? What's that?

　Before I knew it, Logan-san was in front of me. He was holding a wooden sword in one hand and wiping his sweaty face with a towel. His gaze was on the leather thing I was working on at hand.

'It's a grab. I thought I'd teach the kids in town to play baseball.
"Gulab?
For catching the ball ... well, it would be quicker to show you how to do it in person.

　I take out the ball I had already made and hit the ball against the castle wall and catch it with my grab as it comes back. I haven't worn a glove since elementary school, but your body remembers what it's doing.

It's for grabbing the ball this way ... the ball. It's essentially a game of nine against nine.
Huh....

　I made another grab and gave it to Mr. Logan to try and play some light catch. At first I missed some catches, but I soon got used to it and was able to catch it easily. Basically, the people of this world are very quick to swallow.
　The soldiers who had just finished training looked at us and looked at us enviously as they watched us catch the ball, so we went to the "workshop" and made copies of the ball and grub and handed them out to everyone. The deputy commander, Nicola-san, laughed, but since it was free time after the training was over, I didn't say anything in particular. Sorry.
　Well, let's see, there's a lot of people. Let's try to play baseball for now. It's good for everyone to have some fun and relaxation.
　I'm going to take those of you who say you don't have any plans and we're going to build a baseball field on the plains to the west of the castle. However, we just built a batter's box and pitcher's mound on the base.
　We have a new bat, catcher's mitt, and protector, and I'm going to teach everyone some simple rules. To be honest, I'm not that familiar with them either, so I'll have to look up the details as I go along.
　The best way to learn the rules is to play the game. I played the role of referee and watched and the game began.
　The game was terrible for a while. I was giving up a lot of dead balls and striking out. We'd score, but it was all a pushover. But as soon as he started to hit the ball better and hit the ball better, perhaps because of his swordsmanship, the roughness of his defense began to stand out.
　Tunnels, errors, and a pile of dropped balls. But as he repeated the process, he began to handle it better. I was a bit surprised by this. They've always been the kind of guys whose job it is to train their bodies, so I knew they had a certain level of physical prowess.
　It was getting to be a pretty watchable match, so I decided to get the kids from town at the "gate" and show them the match. I'd give them a quick lesson on the rules, and while I was at it, I'd set up a bleacher seat for them.

'I hit it!'
Run!
Hang in there!

　Beside the kids who immediately became enthralled and started cheering, all of the Knights were also shouting to their respective teams.

'What are you doing, throw to first base there, you idiot!
'Ah! Watch the ball! Don't mess with me, now!
Take my turn!

　It was almost a yahoo, though. Take a lesson in the purity of kids, you guys.
　I didn't teach them the detailed rules, so if they messed up, they were supposed to switch places with someone else. That's what happens.

Well, I'm glad to see you're enjoying yourself.

　While everyone was absorbed in the game, I was busy working on the stadium. The back nets, the outfield fence, the scoreboard, and the backfield fence were all completed one by one, and the field was looking great.
　It was getting dark, so we had to call it a night. We decided to keep the baseball equipment for the Knights of the Order and allow them to use the stadium during their free time. I made a set for the kids who came to watch the game. It is a small set for children. The land is there, so you can play grass baseball anywhere.
　The next day, the knights who were off-duty and those who had finished their training began to play games at the ballpark. It seemed that several teams were each made and played games and competed for results. However, the fact that the teams were named "Gryphons" or "Salamanders" or some other magical beast makes me wonder if it's the same as on Earth.
　What's troublesome is that whenever there's a problem with the rules, people come to me to ask about it. I'll have to look it up on the Internet every time they have a problem. Maybe I'll make a rulebook for this world one of these days. I could transcribe it into a "drawing" book, but it would be a pain in the ass to convert, and there would be words like "in the United States" and "in the major leagues" in it that I probably wouldn't understand.
　Eventually, people in the town got interested in baseball and started watching games, and some wanted to start their own. Sensitively aware of this, Orba, a trading partner in Mismid, negotiated with me for the rights to sell the equipment.
　Well, there was no particular reason to refuse if they would make it for me there, so I agreed to pay a percentage of the margin to the state, just as I had done with the bagoma. I thought at the time that it would be profitable if it became popular in other countries and the tools sold, or so I thought at the time.
　During the monthly Western Alliance meeting, the kings of the nations were intrigued by the cheers that came from outside. I made them watch a baseball game, the cause of all that cheering, and they immediately fell in love with it.
　They asked for a complete set of baseball equipment, offered it to each country, and then formed their own teams, which unexpectedly caught on. Nowadays, it seems that baseball is played in many countries.
　On their days off, they form a team of like-minded friends and play games against other teams. It seems to be a pastime for the family and other friends to watch and cheer for the team. I wonder if they will be able to play professional baseball soon.
　To be honest, I never thought it would come to this, but it seems that Orba had expected this to happen to some extent.

However, you never know what you're going to get...
'I was absolutely sure it would be true when I heard Her Majesty had started it, though.

　In the reception room, Orba-san in front of me replies with a hokey smile. That's right. I had forgotten how insatiable the people of this world are for entertainment. There are not many sports in this world, especially ball games. There are not many sports in this world, especially ball games. Is it possible to sell products by putting 'fun' in front of them?

I'd like to sell it to you again if you have something else in mind.
'Hmmm well I have a few that I think might sell.
Oh. That's interesting.

　I think Orba's eyes just lit up. You have a strong business spirit. Oh, that's right.

Can't we get steel materials like iron, copper, silver, mithril, orichalcone, baboons, and so on cheaply?
Steel? Well it's possible to get it through some channels, but how much do you need?
'We don't know how much we need yet. Well, if we make money on the tools we're going to provide, we'd like to get that in steel.

　It doesn't matter how much material you have for frame gear, it won't matter how much material you have for frame gear. I think we should save it while we still have it. I don't know if we'll be able to gather the amount we need even if we do when it comes down to it.

'There may be a reason for this, but let's not explore it too deeply. It's our business too, and we're in a position to make money.
I'd appreciate it if you could say so. So, the products. Our playthings include yo-yo, hula-hoop, hopping and kendama.
I've never heard of any of these tools. Could you tell me more about them?

　I made a yo-yo to explain to Olba and let him try it out. A plastic yo-yo would be best, but we didn't have one, so we used a wooden one instead. I showed him how to play with the other things and taught him how to play with them.
　For now, we can get the materials for the frame gears from our income. It would be awkward to spend everyone's tax money, as expected. Now we just need to take out Mithril Golem or something. This time, though, I should be able to defeat them easily. Well, I'll take it easy.
