Chapter 383: Dangerous Material

My father and Alex-niisan, upon hearing about the magical tools to be installed in the greenhouse, are deep in thought. Perhaps they couldn’t quite picture it? Rosalia and I often discuss magical tools, so it’s not strange to us. However, for those who aren’t familiar with it, they might wonder how such ideas come to mind.

“You’re planning to install quite a variety of magical tools, aren’t you? It seems like it will consume a lot of magic stones.”

“Regarding that, I was thinking we could use the magic crystal stones that can replenish magical power. If we pour the remaining magic power into them at the end of the day, it might help reduce the consumption of magic stones…”

I cautiously watch my mother’s reaction. Since that day, the magic crystal stones have been taken away. They’re incredibly practical, so I’ve been hoping to use them effectively soon.

“I see, so you want to use those. But it would be impossible to rely on just one, wouldn’t it?”

“That’s right. I was thinking of using it as a supplement to the usual magic stones.”

“In that case, let’s go together to the jewelers in the capital. There might still be some left.”

“Is that alright?”

My mother nodded with a smile. This is good news. As children, it’s awkward to enter a jewelry store, but with a parent, it’s no problem. Perhaps my mother also wanted to help with the greenhouse construction plan.

“Then, I’ll leave it to you.”

“Trust me, of course, I’ll take Fabienne along too~.”

Ah, perhaps that’s her real intention? Since neither sister-in-law Daniela nor sister-in-law Mika are around right now, the only ones who can serve as her “dress-up dolls” are Rosalia or Fabienne.

It seems Alex-niisan won’t oppose it. He probably intends to stay out of the greenhouse construction. After all, mother has been worrying that he might be exhausted. It seems he’s trying to avoid further burden.

Alex-niisan has grown up too. The old Alex-niisan would have thought, “It’s my duty as the next lord to know everything happening at the Heine Frontier Count’s family.” But after running the business on his own, it seems he’s realized his limits. This is truly a good thing.

The next day, when I went to pick up Fabienne, I immediately told her about last night’s events. At first, she was surprised, but her face quickly turned to one of joy.

“Of course, I’ll go with you!”

“I’m glad to hear you say that. Since mother will be with us, it won’t exactly be a date, but it’s definitely going to be an outing together.”

Hearing this, Fabienne’s face turned red. Watching her expression, I silently promised myself that next time, I’d invite her on a date, just the two of us.

Rosalia is in the workshop, creating the prototype of a vacuum cleaner magical tool. From what I saw in the blueprint she showed me yesterday, there doesn’t seem to be any issues, so it should be fine.

In the meantime, we plan to try various magical potions using Mira’s fur. By the way, Mira, the one whose fur we’re using, has been taken to Rosalia’s workshop just in case.

When using new materials, you never know what might happen. I’m confident I can protect Fabienne and Nero, but with three people, there could be unexpected risks.

“What should we try making first?”

“Let’s see… how about mixing it into a coating agent?”

The holy dragon’s hair should have magic resistance. After all, in the game, it nullified all magic. If even a fraction of that power is retained, an incredible coating agent should be possible.

I prepare black slime mucus, green neutralizer, poison-cleansing herb, and powdered obsidian, then make the coating agent the same way as before. Carefully, I add the holy dragon’s hair little by little, observing its effect as if seasoning a dish.

“So this is how you add new materials at the end?”

“Yes. This way, the finished product retains its original effects while gaining additional effects or enhancing the ones it already has. But of course, that doesn’t mean you can just throw in anything.”

Everything has compatibility. More often than not, attempts end in failure. It’s better for your mental state to approach this with the mindset that success is just a lucky bonus.

As the mixture simmers in the pot, something shimmering begins to appear. Could this mean… it worked? My heart races as I appraise it.

Holy Coating Agent: High Quality. Blocks all magic. Effect (Large). Fire Resistance (Complete Immunity).

“……”
“……”

Did I… just create something absurdly powerful?

Fabienne must have appraised it too—her eyes are completely blank with shock. I probably look the same. Nero, noticing our stunned state, starts to panic.

“Julius-sama, Fabienne-sama, what’s wrong?”

When I don’t respond, Nero grabs my shoulders and shakes me back and forth without hesitation. I can’t look away. I have to face reality.

“Ah, I’m not okay, but I’ll be okay, Nero.”

“Julius-sama, what should we do with this?”

“Hmm… if this gets out into the world, it’ll only cause problems, so let’s lock it away~.”

After transferring it from the pot into a bottle, I seal it tightly inside a locked safe. There, done.

First, the Beginner Elixir. Now, a second secret magic potion. Maybe I should seal away the holy dragon’s hair itself. But… I still want to experiment with it.

When I explain the effects of the Holy Coating Agent to Nero, he freezes in place as if he’s turned to stone.

“Julius-sama, are you going to continue?”

“Should I stop development? Hmm… but maybe just a little more…”

“Yes, that’s right. Just a little more should be fine, right?”
