Chapter 266: Dishwasher
When you stuff the washing machine to its limit with laundry, liquid detergent is poured in through the designated inlet. With a nod, today’s laundry knight leisurely pressed the start button.
Ping-ping-ping, a sound rang out, and the washing machine energetically began to move.
There were complaints that the chiming sound was hard to understand, so they improved it to play a melody. Of course, not just the washing machine, but the automatic dry fruit manufacturing magical tool was also similarly improved.
Naturally, the upcoming completion of Rosalia’s “dishwasher and dryer” is also planned to be equipped with it.
“No matter how many times I hear it, it’s such a mysterious sound.”
“Well, it’s because of the magic circle sound.”
In this world without machines, it’s difficult to express “electronic sounds.” Therefore, they’ve taken to calling it the sound of magic circles, or magic circle sound, as they please. If there were another term, they would switch to it immediately.
It takes about thirty minutes for the laundry to finish washing. During that time, I asked, “Is there any magical potion you want, or anything you find inconvenient?” The voices from the scene are very important.

Amidst this, the opinion “I want to wash armor too” came up. Sweat smells stick and choke, you know. I should think about that.
Ping-pong-pan-pon, a sound rang out. It was the sound indicating the end of washing. Amidst the breathless silence, the laundry was taken out from the washing machine.
All of it was thoroughly dry, ready to wear right away. But more importantly…
“It’s so white!”
“I can’t believe it! Even if I handled it roughly, it wouldn’t turn out this white. What’s going on!?”
“Yeah, and there’s no unpleasant smell left either! Even if you said I just bought it, no one would suspect a thing.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Knights gathered around the laundry with enthusiasm. They hadn’t voiced it outside, but apparently, there were some small dissatisfactions with the washing machine after all. Did this resolve them even just a bit?
“As expected of Julius-sama. I’m impressed.”
“Stop it, Nero. I just did what’s expected of a potion master. As a potion master.”
I said it twice because it’s important. The knights who heard this all saluted in unison. It seems they believe he went out of his way to make “liquid detergent” for their sake.

Well, it’s partly true, but it’s also for my own identity, so I’m a little troubled by being treated so formally. I’ll just think it’s probably for the best.
A magical tool that can wash armor, huh? If we incorporate a purification magic circle… that would be a big problem. The newly made “washing machine” would become obsolete. That must be avoided at all costs. Sterilize at high temperatures? Like “Disinfect the filth!” with such momentum.
That’s it! High-temperature, high-pressure sterilization, an “autoclave.” I’ll name it the high-pressure reaction washing machine.
As I headed to the workshop in high spirits, Rosalia jumped towards me. What’s going on!?
“It’s finished!”
“The ‘dishwasher and dryer’ is finally complete. As expected of my sister.”
“Hehe.”
When I patted her head, she squinted with a very happy expression. Lelie, standing behind her, must have worked hard too. Her clothes were a bit dirty. I patted her head as well along with Mira, who was nearby. Since her cheeks were red, she was probably happy.
“Well then, let’s take a look at it right away. The ‘dishwasher and dryer’ that Rosalia made. Oh, use this for washing. Terelele~! Liquid detergent~!”
Clap clap clap. This time, Nero applauded. He had just witnessed its performance earlier. He seemed to understand well how amazing this liquid detergent was.

With the three of them tilting their heads, we headed to the kitchen.
“Well, well, Julius-sama, Rosalia-sama. What brings you here today?”
“We brought this today!”
Rosalia, puffing out her chest, introduced the magical tool that Nero was holding with both hands. As she’s only seven, it was still as flat as a prairie.
Seeing that, the head chef understood.
“So, the magical tool that Rosalia-sama was making is complete. We’ll definitely make use of it.”
The head chef replied with a smile. Everyone in the Heine Frontier Marquis family now accepted that Rosalia was making magical tools. It’s a very good trend.
We immediately set it up in the washing area.
“This is a magical tool that washes dishes by itself. It even dries them.”
“Oh, it dries them too! That saves us the trouble of wiping them with a towel.”
In a noble’s meal, a large number of dishes are used at once. Washing them is a hassle, and putting them away afterward is also a chore. It seems it takes time for the dishes to dry, so they end up wiping them with towels.
“I want you to use this liquid detergent with the device. It makes it easy to rinse off the foam and soap residue after washing the dishes.”
“Such a convenient thing…”
The head chef and the cooks who came over after hearing the commotion were wide-eyed. They must have had a hard time with the rinsing. I should have realized it sooner. But it’s okay now. We’ve made a liquid detergent that rinses off well.
“I’d like you to try using the ‘dishwasher and dryer’ right away. Do you have any dirty dishes?”
“We have some dishes here that we were about to wash.”
The place we were shown had several teacups and plates. It looks like someone had a tea party. Maybe it was Mother? Lately, she has been inviting nobles from the territory to actively introduce Daniela and Mika (TN: previously translated as Meeka), my sisters-in-law. She probably wants to introduce them before the snow gets heavy and everyone’s movements slow down.
Ideally, the Heine Frontier Marquis family would hold a dance party for a grand introduction, but the timing isn’t right now. We can’t call people over when they’re busy with winter preparations.
It will probably be held in the spring when the snow melts.
