Chapter 365: Diagonally Upward

After sending Fabienne to the potion room, I quickly returned to the workshop. I was thinking of trying to make reinforced glass first. Nero had already prepared everything for me.

“Julius-sama, is this alright?”

“As expected of Nero. No problem. First, let’s heat it up…”

Using the magical tool I had made when creating the glass pens, I began heating the small piece of glass. I was hesitant to experiment with a large sheet of glass right away. If it broke with a loud crack, cleaning up would be a hassle. To get a feel for it, I decided to experiment with a small piece. Yes, I am a cautious man.

Rosalia and Mira were watching me closely, their eyes fixed on me. I wonder if Rosaria could do it too? Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen Rosaria use magic much. Maybe I should ask her to show me later.

I used wind magic on the heated glass to cool it rapidly. To compare the effects, I prepared a few different amounts of magical energy to infuse into the wind magic. This should be fine. In total, five small pieces of reinforced glass were completed.

“This is it. Now for the test.”

“They all look exactly the same.”

“Yeah, but the strength seems different.”

According to the appraisal results, it seems that the glass with more magical energy infused is the harder one. To create very hard reinforced glass, a considerable amount of magical energy is required. But with that much magic, it seems like it would be nearly impossible to break. It would probably be better for use in carriage windows.

“Julius-sama, how do you plan to test it?”

“By hitting it with a hammer.”

“That’s… too dangerous!”

Nero swiftly took the hammer from me. That was quick. I almost missed it. But without that, I wouldn’t be able to test it, right?

“We’ll take the reinforced glass to the knight’s order in the afternoon and have them test it there.”

“That works. It’s better with Rosalia, Mira, and Lelie here. It would be too dangerous otherwise.”

Since the test was set for the afternoon, I decided to have Rosalia make some reinforced glass as well. Of course, this was also an opportunity to see Rosalia’s magic.

“Alright, Rosalia, wind magic.”

I handed the heated glass to Rosalia. I was holding the glass, so there was no risk of it falling and breaking, nor would it burn her with the heat. It all depended on Rosalia’s wind magic now.

“Ugh…”

Rosalia began using wind magic. However, I didn’t feel much strength in it. This must mean she was using a small amount of magical energy. A gentle breeze, like a soft wind, blew against the glass. If this continues, Rosalia will probably create a gentle, soft type of reinforced glass.

“How is it, Oniisan?”
“Yeah, it’s well done.”

Sweat was pouring from Rosalia’s face. It seems like she really put her effort into using magic. Maybe Rosalia isn’t very good at magic? I thought to myself. But then again, thinking more carefully, maybe it’s just that I’m the abnormal one. This must be how normal children use magic.

It looks like it will be a while before I can have Rosalia make reinforced glass. Until then, I guess it will be up to me alone to make it… No, I should ask Nero and Fabienne for help too.

“Nero?”

“Y-Yes, what is it?”

Nero’s face twitched slightly, as if he had guessed my intentions. He must get tired of just doing butler work all the time. I suppose it’s my job to pull him into a new world.

“It’s your turn next, Nero.”

“A-As I thought?”

It seems he had anticipated this. As expected of Nero. I prepared freshly heated glass and had Nero use wind magic. Since we’ve been training in magic together, I have a good understanding of his abilities.

“H-How is it?”

“Yeah, I think it’s good. This should work. Next is Fabienne.”

“Are you planning to ask Fabienne-sama as well? That might be a bit much.”

“Maybe, but I think I’ll have her try it at least once.”

As we discussed this, it was already lunchtime. I met up with Fabienne and decided to ask her about magic.

“Fabienne, how proficient are you with wind magic?”

“Wind magic? Um, I’m not very skilled at it.”

“I see. Could it be that you’re not particularly good at magic in general?”

“Yes, I’d say I’m not very good at it overall.”

Fabienne’s expression darkened. It wouldn’t be good to dwell on this topic any further. It was enough to learn that she wasn’t confident in her magical abilities. I decided that Nero and I would handle the creation of the reinforced glass.

Still, it was surprising. Despite her skill in making all those potions, I hadn’t expected her to struggle with using magic. It was a bit unexpected. Perhaps Fabienne’s kind nature makes her uncomfortable with magic that could harm others.

Over lunch, I told everyone that in the afternoon, I planned to take a walk in the garden and then head to the knights’ quarters. It seems Fabienne had spent the morning making a significant amount of cold cookies.

“I’ll come along too. I wanted to deliver the cold cookies I just made.”

“That’s perfect. Let’s go together.”
