While I was working at the inn, I received a letter.
　It was from Mr. Krua.
　During my lunch break, I took out the letter and looked at the contents.

'You're not behaving yourself while you're eating, are you?

　Lystina glances at me.

'No, it's fine.

　As I was eating my bribed food in the anteroom, Ristina, who was also on a lunch break, sat down next to me.
　The anteroom is not large by any means, but there are still two long desks set up facing each other.
　There are also four chairs, so it's not hard to sit down.

　And to begin with, it's hardly ever the case that four people take a break at the same time.

'What are you looking at?'
Here's a letter for you.
Is this for Lelius, sir?
In a manner of speaking, yes.

　Ms. Ristina seemed to be bothered by it, and she glanced at the letter.
　I looked at another piece of paper that had accompanied Krua-san's letter.
　It was written in letters that I had never seen before. Could it be that this was--?

　I hurriedly looked at Krua-san's letter.

'When I told you about Lelius-san, there was an old document stored in my master's warehouse. It didn't sell at all, so since he doesn't need it anymore, I'll give it to you.''

　.... oh. I didn't think I could get it so easily.
　While thanking Krua-san, I tried to revise the old documents.
　There were two old documents.
　I wonder if what is written in both documents is the same?

''........Can you read that, senpai?''
...No, I can't read it at all.

　Ristina looks at me intently.
　At least I know what she's talking about.
　With that feeling, I stared at the paper.

　The design of the dragon's egg.
　That's what was written on it.
　.........dragon egg?　That means it's a dragon egg, right?

　"Handgun Schematics.
　What is this?
　But does that mean that the blueprint is for making a dragon's egg?

　Isn't a dragon egg a life?

　I don't understand.
　After looking at it for a while, the words "can be made" also appeared.
　........does that mean I can make this blueprint?

　Or can we create the contents of the blueprint?
　I don't know which one, but I'll try to destroy it later with a hammer.

What have you found out?
Yeah, why is that?
It made me smile a little bit.
Well I guess you could at least get a start.

　I don't know, I haven't done anything yet.
　She looked at me while muttering a hmmm, and then unexpectedly pointed the tip of her fork at me.
　There was a carrot attached to it.

''Yes, senpai. Ahhhhh, please.''
I won't.
'Eh, sir!　This is such a cute little junior member of the family feeding him!　You don't want it?!
Would you stop giving me food you don't like?
'No, it's not!　Oh, are you possibly embarrassed?

　Ristina loosens her mouth as usual with a grin.
　That's because of course it's embarrassing.
　

　I took a bite of the tip of the approaching fork.
　As I ate with a crunch, Ristina's eyes widened.

'Not at all. You're an adult, so please don't like it.''

　Then I remove my gaze.
　When I glanced at Ristina-san, she was looking at the end of her fork with a bright red face.
　

　I drank the water to cool my cheeks, which were hot with shame.

　After I parted with Listina, I went back to my room and put the hammer to the 'dragon egg blueprint' and 'handgun blueprint'.

　Then they became materials, and at the same time, letters began to flow in my brain.
　........Could this be the letters of the blueprint?

　Thanks to this, I was able to figure out all the letters.
　The 'dragon's egg blueprint' that I just destroyed was, as the name implies, a blueprint for creating a dragon's egg.

　Whatever it was, it was a blueprint used by an alchemist in ancient times to create life.
　It turned out that by making it from dragon eggs, it was possible to safely raise a dragon hatched from it.

　It was, in fact, still done today.
　The dragon knight unit should have been something like that.

　
　Modern day alchemists only create potions and the like.

　........What I'm curious about is that this is possible to create.
　If I have the materials, can I make a dragon's egg?
　When I tried to create it, the dragon egg was still capable of being created.

　Plus, it could be made with magic alone.
　--I want to make it. I thought, but I couldn't help but be surprised by the strangeness of this profession.

　I'm going to spend my magic power to create it right away.
　But it's not enough.

　As expected, it seems that a certain amount of magic power is needed to create life.
　However, it seems that the magic power consumed for this creation can be saved.

　Right now, I poured most of my magic power into the dragon's egg, and I have some left over.
　If I do it three more times, I should be able to make one dragon egg.

　I should pour all my magic power into it every day before I go to bed.
　........Just a dragon, huh?

　The instructions on how to raise it were also written on the blueprint like a note.
　It seems to say that you should collect fresh demon meat and the like.

　If you're serious about keeping it, it's probably best to collect as much monster meat as possible while you're at it.
　You never know what kind of meat a born dragon will like.
　The more variety you collect, the more the dragon will be happy with it.

　We need to do something else-- a name.
　Also, where to keep it.

　Fortunately, our inn is pet-friendly. Knowing that, that's why I decided to create a dragon egg.
　The question is, will I keep them in the room forever?
　The question is, do I leave it in the room all the time?

　I don't think there's anything wrong with raising a dragon.
　It's not so much a pet as a familiar one, but some noblemen have them.
　I'm sure you'll find it difficult to raise them, you just don't have to produce eggs.

　You can take your time and think about it a bit more.
　But the thought of growing them makes me look forward to it.

　I'm lying in bed, thinking about the dragon's eggs.
　But still, blueprints, eh?
　I'm not sure if all old documents are blueprints or not.

　If that's the case, if we continue to collect ancient documents in the future, it might be possible to create something ancient.
　

　Aside from the ones that exist in the world today, even those that are completely unknown may be found in the blueprints.
　Even if they can be made, it would be better not to make them.

　It's a difficult thing to do.
　I'll think about the dragon egg later.

　The other is a handgun.
　I've never heard of this one.

　Is it a weapon?　Or is it some kind of demon or something?
　Reading through the handgun's blueprint it looked like a weapon of some sort.

　It is said to be a weapon that attacks at a distance, such as a bow.
　If that's the case, I'd like to create one.
　I immediately put all my magic into it and created it.

　What appeared in my hand was a handgun with an interesting shape and a size that I could handle with one hand.
　He analyzed it using the blueprint as a reference.

　.........It seems to have a cylinder attached to it, and by putting magic power into it, it seems to be able to launch bullets of magic power.
　I wanted to test how powerful it was, but I couldn't do it in this room.
　I'll do it again next time when I'm out hunting for demons.
