Chapter 56.2 – Good News Came in Winter
Next, let’s talk about the infinite magic crystal, a magic crystal-type construct that takes in magic elements on its own which I submitted a paper the other day.
The royal capital was very enthusiastic about this and experiments were immediately conducted on various items as a new energy source.
It seems like teams were formed to experiment by using it into magic lamps, into beast construct, and water bottle magic tool.
We’ve been experimenting with those things too and have been posting up information on them…..
Well, the response we received was “it can’t be used at this stage, it has to be improved”.
It simply lacks power.
The magic lamp only glows faintly, the water bottle magic tool can only produce about a glass of water in a day, and the beast construct doesn’t even work.
With the current cost of magic tools, it would be much better to rely on natural magic crystals. Even if the procurement is unstable, it is still better than relying on such subtle energy.
My job now is to increase the output of these magic crystals without changing their size.
Fortunately, I have a subsidy so I’m going to take it easy on this one as well.

After finishing my work, I left the academy and walked for a while, then, a dogkin who’s only around half as tall as me, came running.
「Master, thanks for your hard work!」
「Ah, you too, Rafi.」
Her tail wagged vigorously and I handed her the leader bag I was carrying.
She is my bag carrier and escort.
Since Laura-san has been taking time off from school, I have been accompanied by one of the adventurers on a daily basis.
Torquiva is peaceful but it never hurts to be prepared.
Besides, it’s inconvenient for a noble to walk alone.
「Stop by the headquarters.」
「Understood!」
The gladius on her back is like a greatsword. It’s swaying with her brown tail as she walks before me.
I wonder if the rumor is true that she ran up the body of a raging bird dragon, killing it by herself by slashing its throat with that sword, and coming down with ease after.
Chicken said “I’ll put at least one person who had participated in slaying a raging bird dragon as your bag carrier.” so she must be strong.
「Is there a problem?」
Perhaps sensing that I’m staring at her, Rafi turned around and asked.
「No, I just thought you can’t tell a person’s power based on her appearance.」
「What are you talking about? The people, who you can’t tell how powerful they are, are the mages.」
True.
We walked slowly as I listened to the saga of the little hero and enjoyed my journey to the headquarters of the Magical Schenker Group.

After I had finished the paperwork and played with Gif, the magic construct dog I left with Chicken, I came to the end of the Schenker Street.
Chicken had told me that a very inexpensive restaurant had recently opened for our employees and contractors, and that I should come by and show my face.
The place we came to was a poor looking, one story building with no signage and white smoke billowing out of the chimney.
I wondered if it was because it’s an employee-exclusive store, or it was designed to prevent strangers from coming in, or because of the low profit.
When I opened the door, there were slaves sitting in the story, which looked slightly cloudy because of the heat from boiling water.
「Ah, master!」
「Ah!? Sh*t!」
「Darn!」
「Hide your sake」
I already saw them.
I really don’t care if they have alcohol here but, I don’t know if I should tell them that now….
「Alright alright, make way make way. Then, master! This way, please!」
The owner, a wolfkin, makes the slaves who were already sitting packed, get even more packed to make a place for me. After that, she smiled at me.
What’s her name again? Pura? Or Tonmi? She’s one of the apprentices of the chefs Seele and Hunt.
「Rafi, you’re the bag carrier today. You’re not dragging master’s bag on the ground, are you?」
「I’m not dragging it! Pura, it’s none of your business!」
So, it was Pura.
And she indeed drags my bag on the ground from time to time but I don’t really care.
「Give me something.」
「What would you like….?」
「Give me your best seller.」
「Understood! How about Rafi?」
「A bag carrier doesn’t need to eat anything, I always need to watch around….」
Rafi was looking very sharp as she was talking about the bag carrier’s job. Even her tail is drooping down.
「It’s okay, he only needs to eat alone. Also, only friends are here.」
「Ri-right!」
「When you’re in this store, just leave the rest to us!」
「No one would dare attack this place!」
「Just relax. Let’s see if you can stand up and go home later!」
「Kyahahaha!」
I suddenly felt uneasy.
Rafi, just dinner. No sake.
「Ano, master….」
While I was waiting for my food and watching Pura cook, the slaves got up from their seats and came over to me.
「What’s up?」
