Chapter 57: New Products

When I returned to the mansion, a servant immediately prepared tea for me. While I was relaxing and drinking tea in the salon, a servant brought me a letter. The sender was Miss Fabienne. I used the paper knife she brought with the letter to  cut open the envelope.

The letter said that she wanted to attend the tea party and that she would bring a friend.  It looks like I’ve made a new friend without knowing it. That’s good.

It’s a good thing, too, because Chloe made a female friend named Caro. It is a pity that we can not meet.

I haven’t heard back from Edward-kun yet, but I guess it’s safe to start getting ready. I called the servants and asked them to prepare for the tea party.

Since we’re going to be there, I might as well show off my new magical tool, the cold/warm air blower. If that’s the case, it would be better to have the tea party indoors. I’ll ask my sister Rosalia to join us. I’m sure she will make new friends.

While I was preparing the invitations for the tea party, I received the news that the wood for the boards had arrived. It was sooner than I had expected. They must have prepared it in a hurry. I would thank them later.

I immediately headed for the warehouse on the first floor. There I found a magnificent mahogany plank.

“This is a nice piece of wood. If I polish it, it will look like a fine piece of amber-colored furniture. With this, the magic tool of the “cold/warm air blower” might look a bit like an interior decoration.

With this, even if you use it in the guest room, it won’t be rude. It would be perfect for advertising the cold/warm air blower. With a grin on my face, I returned to the salon with the board in my arms.

Would Rosalia get angry if I worked on it now? Ah, but I could at least turn the cylindrical shape into a rectangular one. Yeah, let’s do that. Rosalia isn’t here, and if I use my “Craft” skill, it won’t take long.

I brought the failed “cold/warm air blower” from my room and used my “Craft” skill to transform it into a rectangular cylinder in a few seconds.  After all, the 『Craft』 skill is convenient for rough processing.

In the same way, I also process the mahogany planks I had just obtained. I cut it to the required size and polished it so that the surface would be smooth. I thought about doing a little work on the surface, but the grain of the wood was so beautiful that I decided to use it as is.

“Brother!”

“Welcome home, Rosalia.”

The door of the salon opened with a bang, and Rosalia came running in. Rosalia, it is bad manners not to knock, even though the salon is a place where anyone can enter.

When I looked at the servant behind Rosalia, who was accompanying her, she gave me a slight bow.  I’m sure she’ll make sure to remind her of that later.

“Did you enjoy the tea party?”

“Yes, I did!　Everyone was surprised when I showed them the magic tools I had made.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Then we’ll have to make a ‘lamp magic tool’ in Rosalia’s original form next time.”

Rosalia, who was smiling at me, suddenly opened her eyes. She is looking at the “cold and hot blower” that is placed beside me.

“Brother?”

“Yeah, I’ve been waiting for Rosalia to come back. All that’s left is to install these planks of wood and we’re done.”

“It’s so smooth.”

Rosalia stroked the mahogany planks I had just processed. She seems to like it so much that she stroked it again and again.

“Then, let’s put it on this. Will you help me, Rosalia?”

“Of course!”

Thus, the two of us stuck the planks together, and soon the “cold/warm air blower” was completed. It looks like just a square wooden pillar. The top surface was carefully designed so that the annual rings could be seen. The bottom has four short, thick legs to prevent heat from being transferred directly to the floor. This should make it hard to fall over.

“It’s done.”

“It’s ready. I can’t wait to use it!”

“Let’s try it out then. This time, we’ll test it thoroughly, since it is a finished product.”

“Okay.”

We started the test together. It seems that word spread throughout the house that we were making some kind of magic tool in the salon, and I noticed that several servants had gathered. Most of them were women.

I see, they must have noticed that Rosalia had been talking about her hair since a while ago. That this was made to dry her hair.

The heat problem was solved. Even at maximum heat, the sides of the hair dryer are only slightly warm. And I was able to confirm that at maximum heat, it can heat up a room. This is perfect for the coming season. The fireplace is perfect for the coming season, because there is no need to light the fireplace every time. It also reduces the consumption of firewood.

We also checked the cooling effect of the room. However, it turned out that this is not the time to do it. It was too cold to see the effect. Everyone looked cold, so I stopped it immediately. I’ll do it secretly in my room later.

“No problem. Rosalia, you can start using it today.”

“Huh?　Will  brother not dry my hair for me?”

Rosalia was obviously pissed off. She is looking at me with her upper eyes. And her eyes are moist. Where did you learn such a technique, Rosalia?

“No, well, let’s see…how about I do the finishing touches?”

“Thank you very much!”

Rosalia, smiling brightly, hugged me. Yeah, it’s okay, this is fine. Probably.

“Oh, yeah, you guys should try this. Can you let me know what you think of it later?”

I said this to the assembled servants. They looked at each other in confusion.

“Are you sure?”

“oh. Yes, please do. I want to hear your thoughts on it. I’ll listen to it and improve it to make it easier to use.”

The cold/warm air blower was well received for its ability to quickly dry hair. And since one unit wasn’t enough, they asked for several more. So I and Rosalia decided to make as many as they needed. Rosalia was very happy to be able to help.

Thus, a new magical tool was completed.
