Chapter 261: An Unnecessary Word
After dinner, while I was taking a rest in my room, Rosalia came in with a pillow. Of course, Mira was with her. Behind her is Lelie , who was also holding a pillow, but she wasn’t planning on sleeping with me, was she?
“Brother, I think Lelie wants to sleep in the same bed with Nero.”
“It’s okay, isn’t it? Right, Nero?”
“Of course it’s fine.”
Nero agreed with a smile. I’m sorry, Nero. I’m sorry I dragged you into this too. Lelie went happily to Nero’s room.
What should I do now? I can’t make liquid detergent in this room. It’s early, but should I go to bed? But I don’t feel like sleeping at all.
“What are you going to do with that dehumidifying magical tool, brother? I feel like it could still be of some use.”
Wow, you’ve got a good eye. I thought it would be undetectable since I incorporated it into the device, but as expected of an aspiring magic tool maker, it seems she saw through me.
“Yeah, it would be nice if it could be used for something.”
“There are some things that can’t be washed in the washing machine. Why don’t you use it to dry those when you wash them?”
“Hmmm, do you have a situation like that?”
“Julius-sama, how about using it to dry the dishes after washing them?”
“Oh, that’s a good idea, Nero. A dishwasher/dryer.”
Good job, Nero. Really good. This way I won’t have to be the one to come up with the idea. If Rosalia can develop the dishwasher magic tool, she can take credit for it this time.
Washing dishes is hard work. It would come in handy in noble residences and restaurants.
“Brother, let’s get to work on the blueprints!”
Rosalia moves from the bed to the table. Nero quickly prepares paper and pen. In the meantime, Lelie came back and prepared tea for us. She’s the same age as Rosalia, but she’s a very thoughtful girl.
Mira seemed to have sensed that something was happening and was jumping around happily.
“Might as well make some dried food.”
“Dried food?”
Rosalia abruptly turned to me. She’s not the only one. Nero and Lelie also turned their heads this way. Mira had her head tilted back.
Oh no, come to think of it, there was no culture of dried food in this world. There was no dried food in the game either. What should I do?
“Let’s see,…… yes! I was thinking maybe I could try drying some fruit and making dried fruit.”
“Dried fruit?”
Rosalia looks as if she wants to ask why I thought of such a thing. Her face was tilted to one side with her fist pressed against her cheek. Nero and Lelie were also tilting their heads. Mira was tilting her head so much that she fell over. I don’t know what she’s doing. It’s cute, though.
“That’s right. By reducing the excess water in the fruit, the sweetness becomes concentrated and it tastes better. I think.”
“Maybe. ……”
“Kyuu…”
“You, you’ll never know unless you try!”
Rosalia and Mira’s eyes are kind of cold. I never thought they would look at me like this. Maybe they’re thinking “Outrageous to do such a thing to a piece of fruit”? Rosalia loves fruits, after all. So does Mira.
This is the problem. I have to put it into practice right away and nip any doubts in the bud. Otherwise, Rosalia and Mira will hate me.
“Nero, go get me some fruit.”
“Yes, sir. Right away.”
Nero quickly walked out of the room. In the meantime, I gathered up the materials in my room and completed a magical tool for making dried fruit.
It was nothing. I simply incorporated the “dehumidifying magic circle” into a metal box that could be sealed. It looks just like a regular box. It doesn’t look good at all.
“ju-Julius-sama is incredible.”
“Lelie?”
Lelie’s eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw the finished magical tool. Now that I think about it, I’ve never made a magical tool or brewed a magic potion in front of her before. If it was her first time seeing the scene, she might be surprised.
“As expected of my brother.”
“Rosalia?”
“Kyuu”
“Even Mira… what’s going on?”
I don’t think it’s that surprising. It’s just a magic circle built into a box. Even Rosalia should be able to make it easily. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal to say that I screwed up.
“Julius-sama, I got it for you.”
“Well done, Nero. Now let’s get started…”
“Ha?”
“Big Brother, this is the magic tool that Julius-sama made in no time.”
“What?”
Nero’s movements stopped completely. Hmm, it seems I’ve done it. Well, what’s done is done. I carelessly tossed the cranberries, grapes, and oranges that Nero had gotten me into the magic tool.
Since I don’t know how long it will take to finish, I open the lid every time to check.
“Is this how dried fruit is made”
“Yes, it is. Although, I won’t know how long it will take until I try it. If I can adjust that area, it might make a fine magical tool.”
I have no intention of doing so, though. I have no intention of spreading dried fruits, and I will not let them be. This is a battle I cannot lose to regain the trust of Rosalia and Mira. Nothing more, nothing less.
The dried fruit was completed while I was helping Rosalia design the “dishwasher/dryer” magical tool she described. About thirty minutes, I think? If it is this amount, will it take this much time? uh-huh
If I design it so that when the weight of the fruit in the grimoire drops to a certain percentage, it makes a sound and automatically stops, I think I might be able to make dried fruit without having to do anything, but what am I thinking? I’m not going to make it, okay?
“It’s done.”
“These are dried fruits… they’re beautiful!”
“It’s dazzling.”
“It’s amazing. ……”
“Kyuu…!”
Perhaps attracted by the concentrated sweet smell, Mira was drooling. I wiped her drool and popped one into her mouth.
“Kyu!”
Mira jumped up. She is holding her cheeks with both hands. Does that mean her cheeks are about to fall off? I think she is exaggerating a bit.
“Um, brother, may I have some too?”
“Of course you may. Nero and Lelie, you both have to taste it too ”
“Okay, then.”
“Bon appétit.”
Needless to say, the three who put the dried fruit in their mouths squealed with delight.
Phew, I made one more, dull and unexciting thing.
