Chapter 220: The Ice Room is up and running!

　I have to somehow complete the icehouse before the hellish manners class that will probably start today. Otherwise, I don’t know when it will be completed. The ice house has already lost its function as a “refrigerator.”

　In other words, if it is not completed as soon as possible, the material inside it will continue to deteriorate Well, it is not of great quality to begin with, but that is what it is and this is what it is. Fortunately, all that remains is to combine it with the magic wire and switch and do something about the floor.

　The finishing touches are being done while laying the processed stones on the floor. The walls and ceiling on all four sides have already been completed. The stone was laid on the floor in no time, thanks to the skills honed through this work.

　Everyone seems to be in high spirits, as our country’s princess, Daniela, has come to pay her respects.

　A final check is carried out as the workers leave the site one after another after finishing their work. Yeah, there doesn’t seem to be any problem.

“Is it finished already?　I thought it would take longer.”

　Daniela-sama’s eyes were black and white. We’ve already been working on this for about two days. I wouldn’t say it’s that fast. However, the last spurt was quick. I admit that.

“That’s because you came to pay us a visit, Daniela-sama . Otherwise, it would have taken  all morning today.”

“I still think it’s fast enough. When the magical tool in the greenhouse in the courtyard broke before, it took about three months to repair it.”

“That’s because…the structure of the magic tools is different. I’m sure the magic tools used in the greenhouse were complicated and couldn’t be repaired easily. It’s not that we’re special.”

　I cover it up by saying something like that. But to myself I admit, “It takes three months to repair a magic tool?”  I have my doubts, but let’s just assume it does.

　This is a situation where we have to show that we are not special. We’ve got to air it out.

“It’s just as Julius-sensei said. We’re not special. He’s the one who’s special.”

“That’s right. Daniela-sama, look at this stone wall. All of the stones that have been beautifully processed into the same shape were processed by Julius-sensei. There are not many craftsmen with such skill.”

“Besides, behind this stone, in order to enhance the cooling effect of the ice room, is a piece of wood that no one else has used because it is difficult to process. Julius-san was able to process it effortlessly.”

　Wait a minute. You guys need to read the room!　Oh, Daniela-sama’s eyes are blazing. Brother Alex’s face says, “Did you do it again?” It says. His narrow, crescent eyes are scary!

　I looked hurriedly toward Axel and Ijidol to ask for help.

“Why are you looking at me?　It’s all true, isn’t it?”

“That’s right. And didn’t you also create a new magic circle for The ice room ?”

“No, because it’s not!　It’s just a combination of existing magic circles. It’s true. Believe me!”

　Everyone is looking at me warmly. Ah, this is something that no one believes in, I get it. How did this happen? …….

　With everyone staring at me, it was time to turn on the ice room. Since this is a great opportunity, I decided to ask Daniela-sama to turn it on.

　Daniela-sama solemnly turned on the switch, and immediately the cold air began to circulate throughout the ice house. It turned into a white mist and filled the room.

　In less than a few minutes, the inside of the ice chamber reached such a temperature that the water froze. The water I kept there for confirmation was also frozen solid.

” Julius-sensei, this is it. I think it’s safe to say that it’s performing as planned.”

　The royal potion master who went to get the water that was left for testing came back safely. Yeah, it seems to be functioning well. And it doesn’t seem to be getting deathly cold. The ice is also well formed.

“If I’m wearing a fur coat, will it be safe to go inside?”

“Yes, no problem. It will be safe to go in there to get the materials.”

“Still, please be sure to say something to the guard when you go in and out.”

“Yes, Julius-sensei.”

　Ah, I don’t know what it is, but it bothers me when people look at me like that, Daniela-sama. If you look at this composition, you’ll think I’m in charge of the Royal Magic Potions Division, wouldn’t you? But you are completely mistaken.  I am not the head of the Royal Court Magic Potions division. I am just an advisor.

“Julius-chan, with this icehouse, you can make high-quality magic potions, right?”

“Yes? I-I think that’s probably the case. It would be great if that happens.”

　My voice trailed off. I never thought I would be called that here. I was so upset that I involuntarily looked at my brother. He was also upset, and his eyes were all round. It seemed that Daniela-sama’s meter had been turned off.

“I’m so proud of you. That’s my brother-in-law!”

　She said that and hugged me tightly even though we were in public. Oh no, Daniela-sama’s tension is rising!　I have to do something quickly. Help me quickly, brother!

　I was already in mortal danger. I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe. …… I’m lightly tapping Daniela-sama, but she doesn’t notice at all. Should I hit her harder?　No, but I can’t do that.

“No, Daniela-sama, Julius is about to die!”

“Oh my gosh, I’m sorry!”

　Ijidol shouted loudly. Thank you, Ijidol. You are my savior. Daniela-sama finally came to her senses and let me go. And her face was bright red. It seemed like she was possessed by something. I wonder if she’s okay.
