Apparently, the box where you put letters exists under the name of “text box”.
When I consulted with my father, he told me that the box to put letters was already sold as a product in the royal capital.
“They don’t sell the type that registers magic. It’s hard to make it from the box up, so I think it’s better to use ready-made products and modify it this time. However, if only Theo and others have it, it will stand out, so it might be better to make the text box that opens with magical power registration popular in the royal capital.”
“If you want to make it popular, will it be popular?”
It was about how to add a function to the text box, but why did it become a business story?
No. I think business is important, and Alfie, who is still an orphan and has a weak position, may be in trouble if he has something that stands out badly, and on the contrary, it may be dangerous.
“It depends on how you do it. Until now, we’ve basically burned bad letters because we don’t want people to see them, but there are various letters that you don’t want to burn, but you don’t want to show to people. For example, a letter of confession.”
“Oh. Certainly.”
I only had letters of exchanges with my parents and business contact letters in my mind, so I didn’t have to burn them, but I didn’t understand the letter that I would be in trouble if you could see them. But if it’s an exchange between my boyfriend and me, I certainly don’t want to be seen, but I don’t want to erase it as a memory.
“So until Amelia burns it, it’s extreme, so even if you don’t put it on as a function of the product, I think people will like a text box that only they can open. A general store from the alchemist’s place … No, it seems to be more noisy to sell it directly to the place where the materials are wholesaled. If you make it, you can also register a patent and sell it to a noble person. After that, if you have someone put something similar at the store and they want to see what Alfie has, it’s best if you can introduce a dealer that can make something that suits you to order.”
I see.
The word ‘that suits you’ will tickle your self-esteem, and if you tell them where it is selling, it won’t be taken away. Even if it is actually taken, you can’t use what is registered with someone else’s magic. Besides, the saint’s salary should be high, so there should be some money that you can spend as you like.
“You can think about the construction of the magic square yourself, but it’s good to think about the box itself from the beginning with a material that does not burn with flames or is hard to burn. It will be much easier than trying to prevent fire with just a magic circle.”
“I see. Can I make the wood I use like that, or can I apply paint that makes it hard to burn…”
I felt that if you put on a heat-resistant magic circle, it might not work against other magic circles, so it’s a smart way to choose what you can do with the material.
I think alchemists are probably better than magicians in this area, but I got a hint, so I want to make a place where I can do it myself. Fortunately, thanks to being born as a daughter of a material shop, I know both wood and paint.
“……If you want to make it as soon as possible, it may be easier to paint the existing text box. Also, if you write the magic circle and paint it, you will be able to hide the magic square well.”
It is also subtle that the magic circle is written as if you steal it even if you have a patent, and if you think it will be hidden with paint, you can write without worrying about the balance and design.
“It’s also possible to prepare materials that burn. For example, if you open it normally through magic, you can make fire prevention work, and if you don’t do it, you can make it burn if it touches the outside air … It needs to be processed so that it doesn’t get on letters and other things, but this one seems easier.”
The magic sword technology that only works with the magic power of a specific person is in the technology, but the magic circle that works with the magic power of a person other than a specific person has not been developed yet.
I thought it was quite difficult, but on the contrary, it seems that it can be made if it does not burn because fire prevention is activated with the magic of a specific person.
There is a species that burns when it comes into contact with air. Originally, this species in areas where there was no maga was a special thing, such as not sprouting unless a wildfire occurred. That’s why I think it has evolved so that it can cause wildfires on its own.
It was usually recognized as a nuisance species, but if you process this species, it should work.
“Amelia is excited to write letters.”
“Eh. No. Because it’s definitely more convenient to have a text box, right? And if my father wants to keep in touch with Alfie, don’t you think it’s better to have a text box?”
It wasn’t an excuse, I just told the truth, but I was somewhat embarrassed and quickly told the reason.
“I think it’s okay to be proactive, right? The wisdom of the alchemist is definitely necessary for Amelia’s research. I think it’s great to be able to think about countermeasures properly and move.”
“Ah, ah. Yeah. Thank you.”
I was worried too much.
On the contrary, I’m embarrassed that I overreacted by thinking about various things for talking with Theo, and I fake it in a hurry.
“Does Amelia miss Theo?”
“Eh. That. Well, he helped me a lot.”
It’s probably because he was suspicious. My father seems to have realized why I started trying to make a text box.
“Amelia. I and the old man don’t want to be a shackle to Amelia. If you don’t want to work in this village, but want to work in the royal capital again, we will support it.”
“……What are you talking about? I haven’t decided what kind of work to do yet, but at least I don’t want to get a job related to a saint. And was it censorship? That’s why I don’t want to be monitored and say what I want to say.”
I didn’t notice it when I was a student, but when I found out that the letters were being censored, I hesitate. My father and grandfather are more important to me than the royal family and the saints.
“Yeah. That’s right. Your father can’t say what he wants to say, and he doesn’t want to be used. But you don’t have to think that you have to live in this village. I’d be happy if you were there, but Amelia’s life belongs to Amelia. I also want to decide my life on my own, so I can’t get along with your grandfather. I understand that your grandfather is giving me advice to make it easier for me to live.”
I heard that my grandfather came to this village because there were various things in the royal capital when he was young. That’s why my grandfather is advising my father because he’s worried about my father’s way of doing things, but my father lives the way he wants. So the two of them don’t live together to avoid fighting.
Because he’s such a father, he rarely opposes what I want to do.
“Theo seems like a good boy.”
“Eh. That’s why I said, I don’t have that kind of relationship with Mr. Theo.”
“Yeah. For now.”
No. It’s true that it’s now, but I don’t know about the future.
“But Theo is a saint’s escort. It’s incompatible with the way I want to live.”
“I don’t know. And if Amelia makes the saint decline, Theo’s job may be gone.”
……I didn’t think about that possibility.
If you say so, that’s right. If the value of the saint decreases, the escort will also decrease. Theo’s business is only to escort the saint, not the fiancee of the crown prince. That’s why I can’t say that there will be no dismissal depending on the situation on the temple side. Of course, knights are also necessary for the journey to purify the maga, so such work will remain.
“If he loses his job, Theo may resent me.”
“I don’t think so? With Theo’s ability, he will be able to do something other than the saint’s escort without problems, and rather, he will be able to choose as much as you can choose. So think carefully about what you want to become with Theo in the future and face it.”
As soon as my face went pale, my father shook his head that there was no problem there and offered me more difficult problems.
“You don’t have to give an answer right now, but choose and live for yourself so that you don’t regret it. Because everything has a timing.”
I often hear that the goddess of chance has only good results.
I also like the idea that leftovers have fortune, but if I can, I would like to choose myself. Because I won’t regret it even if I fail.
“Yeah. I got it. Think carefully.”
I have a year to do what I want to do in the future. That’s why I nodded to think about other ways other than living here.
Of course her father would come up with a good business plan for the magic registering text box. It works out a lot of problems.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
