Chapter 421: Heading to the Magic Tool Workshop
The sunlight shone down, and the water sprayed onto the grass evaporated. This should have made the surroundings a little cooler. The faces of the Marquis and Marchioness of Mulan had also become more peaceful. It seemed like it had been quite hot after all.
“That swimsuit looks good on you. I wonder if you could make one for me too?”
“Of course. You’ve been such a great help to me after all.”
“Oh my, no, it’s us who should be thanking you.”
The Marchioness lowered her eyebrows in a troubled manner and placed her hand on her cheek. The Marquis of Mulan, sitting next to her, also had a troubled expression. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but after coming to the Mulan family estate, it felt like a bit of a homestay experience. I realized I was enjoying myself more than I thought.
Could it be that I’ve been feeling cramped at the Heine Frontier Count’s residence? No way.
After everyone had enjoyed themselves for a while, I dried them all off using wind magic. I blew the moisture away, wrapped them in a gentle breeze, and in no time, they were completely dry.
“Julius, I want you to teach me magic.”
“Of course, no problem. I’m heading to the magic tools workshop tomorrow, so should we start now?”
“Then, after we change, let’s gather at the training ground!”
With that, Isidore happily went back to change. It seemed that Fabienne and Carol were going to have tea with the Marchioness afterward. There must be some women-only talk. I’ll leave Mira in Fabienne’s care and focus on teaching Isidore magic. Mira will be fine with some sweets, so she won’t complain.
It seems that Isidore has been diligently training in magic even after I returned to the Heine Frontier Count’s estate. He’s become much more skilled at using magic. Although it was a bit of a struggle, he managed to learn the shower-like magic and the magic for drying his hair and body by the end of the day.
“Isidore, your magic skills have really improved. Honestly, I didn’t expect you to be able to use it so quickly.”
“Thank you. But it’s because you teach so well, Julius.”
Even if that’s the case, it would have been impossible to learn it in a day without Isidore’s constant efforts. After that, Axel and the others asked if they could have a mock battle, but I didn’t want to sweat again, so I decided to skip it.
After all, a shower magic tool is really necessary. Not just for the bath, but I want to install one in the training ground as well. When I mentioned that, it was decided that we’d convert a corner of the warehouse into a shower room.
I’m the one who’ll do the modifications, but it’ll be easy if I use magic. No problem.
After dinner, when I returned to my room, the magic tool creation set I had ordered had arrived. I immediately grabbed it and went to the alchemy room, where I carved a magic circle on the box and set the magic stone. Now, this box could be used as a storage magic tool.
There were several low-quality materials inside, but the remaining ones were all quite valuable. I couldn’t bring myself to throw them away. I’ll leave them as they are, just in case Leon might need them.
The next day, I headed to the magic tools workshop. Fabienne stayed behind at the mansion to continue making magic potions. Just to be sure, I went to the herb garden and found a small patch of herbs growing vigorously, so I gathered them.
We, including Nero, Gile, Christopher, and Isidore, are heading towards the magical tools workshop. Mira, as usual, seems to be taking a walk in the garden with Carol today. And it seems that Axel will also join them on this walk. Because of that, a sulking Isidore has followed us.
“Isidore, cheer up. I’m sure there will be a good encounter for you too.”
“Ugh, are you trying to comfort me?”
Isidore looks at me with half-closed eyes. I guess he’s right, I do have a super cute fiancée named Fabienne. Maybe it sounded like I was being sarcastic. But I think Isidore, who looks so down, is partly to blame.
“We commoners have to find our own way, right? I guess we have no choice but to leave our fate to the gods.”
“Then, it looks like it will be impossible for us until we attend the academy.”
Gile and Christopher are already in full “giving up” mode. It’s true that if we attend the academy, we’ll have more chances to meet people of the opposite sex around our age. But who knows how many of them will actually find a partner there?
“The academy, huh… Julius, you’re not enrolling in the academy in the royal capital, right?”
“That’s right. I’ll be enrolling in the academy in the domain capital.”
“Ha. I guess I’ll go there too…”
What’s wrong with Isidore? He seems to have become quite pessimistic. Now that I think about it, Isidore has always been a bit shy. I almost forgot because he’s been acting so normal now, but I remember back when we were in the royal capital, he was a little like this too.
But if he goes to the royal capital’s academy, I think he’ll be with Axel and Carol. Oh, right, they’ll probably be in different departments. Axel will go into the knights’ department, and Isidore will go into the magic department. I wonder if Carol will go into the magic department too? I’ll be going into the alchemist department, so in the end, we’ll probably be separated anyway.
“Julius-sama, we’ve arrived at the magical tools workshop.”
Nero called out to me. Looking out the carriage window, I saw a building made of rough stone stacked together in front of me. It’s a three-story building, and it seems to have been around for quite some time. As evidence, the buildings on both sides are relatively new, with large windows on flat walls. I’m not sure what kind of store it is, but it seems to have a display window, almost like a showcase.
Shops of this type are still quite rare. It’s probably the latest style. Until now, it was common to just place things outside the shop.
As expected of the eastern distribution hub. It seems like the latest trends are being incorporated here. Once we return to the domain capital, I might consult with Alex-niisan about it. If I get hired at Heine Trading Company, I’m sure it’ll attract attention.
