The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

130 Episode 26: Magic, Start

The establishment of the magic bureau was decided, but the official announcement was made at a later date. The political process leading up to the official announcement was entrusted to Ufi, and I brought back the usual members who added Tomas to the City of Magic.

However, this time, there are materials brought out of my workshop in the outhouse, so it's not an air bike, it's a carriage trip. At the end of our journey, rocked by carriages, we arrived in the City of Magic.

"... Wow, construction is going pretty well"

It's been a long time since I've been back in the City of Magic, so when I came back, I was very surprised to see the shape of the "city" already in my mind.

"I wasn't that empty, but not long ago?

"That must be all the heat. And there's Monica."

"Well, yeah. I'll have to show Monica my face later, but first I'll say hello to Uncle Drags."

I think it's Monica's work that's going so fast so far. I hope she's doing well, too.

First we headed to the city hall and split into two hands: the remaining members to unload the loads in the carriage and the members to meet Uncle Drags. I'm going to see Uncle Drags. My offering is Priscilla.

Uncle Drags waited for me to greet him as he took Priscilla to Count Cyan's residence. I walk over to Uncle Drags and exchange greetings for a reunion with a grin.

"Uncle Drags. I'm sorry I've been away for so long."

"No, Sister Wang. We know what's going on. I'm delighted to see you doing so well."

"Thank you. So I got back early, but Uncle Drags has a few things to talk about..."

"I'm in awe. Let me get you some tea first."

Moving places with Uncle Drags, I am the result of the talks of the Aylene Empire, as well as the newly concluded treaty, the future operation of the City of Magic. Then I will give an overview of the Magic Art Bureau, which was founded as a development group around me.

Priscilla supplemented me every time I lacked something in my explanation. That's how when I finished talking about what I was supposed to tell him, Uncle Drags tightened his expression and put his arms around him.

"Have the talks with the Empire settled that way to the point of becoming so?... but were you sure about that? You really think the Empire can be trusted?

"Rather than an empire, I guess trust in Emperor Lukeheim. So I want Emperor Lukeheim to prepare a dish that will serve as a bridge between kingdom and empire. That's why I re-employed Tomas, who hit Celestial and Arcane Shell, as a dedicated blacksmith."

"... if Her Royal Highness Sister Wang says so, as a minister, it's a complicated state of mind, but you have to swallow it."

Uncle Drags shrugged low somewhere dissatisfied. Uncle Drags is doing me a favor, and he cares a lot about me because he takes care of my daughter Raini. So I know perfectly well that I am angry that I was about to be assassinated.

But I did not pursue nor demand from the Empire so strongly. For that matter, I have no choice but to ask the emperor to work hard to tighten the empire in the future.

"It's not all bad, thanks to you, I got a lot of stomps, too. I think the launch of the Magic Bureau is a good opportunity. If you think you need it, you're gonna have to do whatever I want, right?

"... it's also dependable and horrible"

"Uncle Drags is going to have a lot to hold me in again..."

"No, if that's what I do. … but I just think I've come to the point where I was an adventurer."

Proud, then laughing like trouble Uncle Drags. There is also the point that Uncle Drags is in his current position because he has Raini. Maybe that's why I'm in a complicated mood about how to take it as Uncle Drags.

Still, I trust Uncle Drags. Surely it may not have been possible to ascend from the adventurer to the baron and to the Count at once on the merits of Uncle Drags alone. But I think it was definitely Uncle Drags as his father who supported Raini, who became that cut-off.

"Regardless of who I am or what I was born into, I believe that someone I can trust is the treasure. Will you please continue to help me? Dragsburg."

"... to the heart of His Royal Highness Sister Wang"

Drugsburg meditating his eyes on my words and bowing his head deeply. That gratuitous gesture was a grand gratuity that I didn't think I was once an adventurer.

Then I told Uncle Drags a few stories about my upcoming meeting, followed by Count Cyan's residence.

Me and Priscilla, returning to the city hall from Count Sian's mansion, invited the Navres, whose loading and unloading had slipped, to gather at the city hall.

The salons in the city hall are smaller than the royal castles and outhouses on boulders, and the decorations and conditioning are modest. Of course, the carpenters are fine because the royal family still uses them.

It was Charne who prepared the tea for us before we discussed it. I slapped my hands together to make sure the tea had gone to everyone, watching with a smile as Charne prepared the tea for me at best.

"Then we haven't made a formal announcement yet, but shall we start the first Magic Bureau policy meeting!

"You're in a good mood, Anis."

"That's for sure, Gah! Nevertheless, I can only reconcile policy with perception with everyone else. It's not even a workshop yet. Yeah, Tomas needs to talk to you about designing a workshop, so you can hang out with him then, 'cause we're gonna have a meeting with the guy in charge."

"... okay..., I got it."

Tomas nods small at my words. My mouth seems to be getting heavy because I'm surrounded by nobles. I hope you get used to it soon.

"We're actually going to develop a prototype of the Devil's Sword after the workshop is formed, but before we do that, we want to decide on a policy on how to process the Devil's Stone. In parallel, we have to build Emperor Lukeheim's Devil's Sword."

"Sister Wang, may I ask you a question?

"Yes, Navre. What is it?

"That, how can we proceed simultaneously with the development of the Devil's Sword, which we dedicate to His Majesty Emperor Lukeheim, and the study of how to utilize the Devil's Stone? Is there a reason?

"There's a reason. To be clear, I don't think it's enough to give the Emperor the Devil's Sword he's ever had. He thinks the Demon Stone will tip him off to fill that inadequate part."

"Is it not enough?

I don't really understand Charne in my answer, tilting my neck with the face I said. Charne's question seemed to everyone to feel just not to speak up.

It's just that in it Tomas looked sinister if he noticed. Well, do you realize that Tomas is a developer?

"Then I ask, for example, someone who can use it with Yuffi's arcane shell?

No one returned an answer to my question. He looks as difficult as Navre, or he's bisected from the reaction of shaking his neck left or right like Gakun.

"... to the point of becoming. I don't think there's anything unusable in the sense of a weapon, but Arcane Shell also had the function of a magic wand. Your Majesty doesn't need magic to function as a wand."

The Arcane shell is dedicated to Ufi, so it is a demon sword that corresponds to Ufi's standard. If it is possible to use that one other than Uffi, I can only think of about Lord Grants in view of the abundance of magical aptitudes, etc.

Because it is so exclusive, I am not assuming that others will use it. That was just a gesture for Yufi. So considering what you need for a demon sword to give to Emperor Lukeheim, Arcanshell is not helpful in the first place.

"So, what about Master Anis' celestial?

"... No, you can't. Celestial is also a speciality tailored to Master Anise in a different way than Arcane Shell. If anyone but Lady Anis had it, they'd still say it's better to have Mana Blade."

If Arcane Shell doesn't work, what about Celestial? It was Tomas who answered Gakun's question like that. Tomas is putting his arms together and shaking his neck left and right with a difficult face.

Celestial is also a specialty for me. Even a body is more like a sword than a sword, and it boasts a durability and a conductivity of magic that won't break even with magic only for the thickness of its body.

It's also the strength I need because I use the magic of dragons, and if I use it normally, this is also an excessive element. This means that none of the Devil's Swords developed at this stage are suitable for donation to the Emperor.

"... so I'm checking again, but compared to Mana Blade, you two devil swords are tailored for the user."

"That's right. Because Mana Blade is designed to handle magic blades, the structure and mechanism are simple enough for anyone to use. Arcane shells and celestials derived therefrom are not generic because they are tailored to the user. So when it comes to giving it to Emperor Lukeheim, it's not enough."

"So you're saying we need to build a new demon sword, right?

"Yeah. I want to make sure the Imperial family can inherit that, too, if they can. If you pass it on from generation to generation, it will be a symbol of the alliance between the Kingdom of Palletia and the Aylene Empire."

It is desirable that the Devil's Sword, which is donated to Emperor Lukeheim, be used only in person so that the next generation can inherit the sword. I want to develop it not only as a symbol of the alliance to which the Devil's Sword was donated, but also as a practical product capable of proving its power.

That's what Emperor Lukeheim wants, and the higher the value of the Devil's Sword he donates, the more valuable it will be for each other's nations to form alliances.

"Um, but hey...? So what kind of stuff would you like? Can't you just fortify Mana Blade like this?

"I don't mean no, but that's too weak to make it a symbol. The Devil's Sword that we donate to Emperor Lukeheim doesn't really make people the performance of choosing, and I would prefer something that would then be a symbol of power that would show the presence of the Kingdom of Palletia..."

"... Emperor Lukeheim can't use magic, can he?

"Right. So let's all get our heads upset from now on! That's what we're talking about."

To my words, everyone quieted down.... To be honest, I said it myself and thought this unexpectedly.

"... it's a difficult question."

"... Not at all"

"But I'm not helpless, either. That's why it's a study of demon stones!

Hit me in the hand and I'll get everyone's attention so I can beat off the air that's about to sink.

"... I'm sorry. But isn't that a real fall? I don't think so, but we're not using demon stones for demon swords we donate to His Majesty the Emperor, are we?

Navre makes the point worryingly. I know what Navre is trying to say. Even though it's a study to prepare a unique technology for a kingdom that isn't in the Empire, wouldn't a demon sword using that technology eventually spill out? I'm worried.

"Navre has a crush on you. I do intend to use demon stones for demon swords that I donate to Emperor Lukeheim. But is it correct that we don't use the Demon Stone itself?

"I use the Demon Stone but not the itself...?

"Is that a mystery?

Charne leaned her neck strangely and it was not the earliest use to get to Gakun.

"Remember the fun Yuffi did with me before he took office?

"Ah! Are you talking about aerial circle dancing? I've heard stories!

Yes! says Charne as he lifts his hand vigorously and vigorously with momentum. But he also realizes that he has more voice than he thought, and he immediately lowers his hand and shrinks himself in embarrassment.

"Yes, it's an aerial circular dance, and the equipment that was made available at that time was a collection of technologies. It's stored in the royal castle now, but I'm going to apply the technology used in that one. So I guess I'll have to ask the Ministry of Magic and Spirituality for a job."

"Excuse me, what is that technology?

"" Spirit manifestation. "You've heard the name, haven't you? Halfis-driven redefinition of magic, simplifying magic, and trying to build a new technology system is said to be the opposite of research."

"Spirit manifestation." That was the trump card that Yuffi cut to counter me when he was competing for which would succeed the throne in retrospect.

Now that the mechanism has been worked out, it is well known that the will of the user resonates with the spirits held within it, making the spirits around them "change" and become magic.

Spirit manifestation is a study that has further pioneered magic and is ultimately carried out with the aim of manifesting a pseudo-spiritual.

"That flying magic prop... including the outfit, that's a crystal of technology I've been studying for the purpose of fusing spirits and magic props." Process "spiritual stones to match the purpose of the magic props.

"How does that relate to the study of demon stones?

"- Because this technology reaches the point of" Demon Stone. "Artificial Demon Stone, I suppose."

Originally, "Spirit stones formed in the body according to demons become demon stones." In other words, if you intentionally change the Spirit Stone, it becomes a Demon Stone.

The question is how to make that demon stone, but I already have that tip. Whatever, Raini's here. Raini's Demon Stone can also be described as a finished artificial Demon Stone. However, the fact that generations have been taken over has made them so different from pure demon stones.

"Can demon stones be made in people's hands!?"

"If it's about subsidized at the moment, it's successfully developed. However, the Ministry of Magic and Science is also busy, so it is the current situation that your research has been scaled down..."

Well, I can tell you I had to shrink. We need to consolidate the ground first, or the processing of spiritual stones and the study of "artificial demon stones" will be dangerous.

Originally, the research involved in the manifestation of the Spirit was a measure to increase the rare value of the nobility by stepping into more specialized areas in line with the improvement of the status of the civilian population, which can be expected through the spread of demonic props.

This is not the time for civilians to take the place of nobility. So the priority is the study of demonic props, and the study of spiritual manifestations has become more nuanced. Of course, even though it's shrinking, there's no reason to keep it going, so Yufi's got a good budget.

"What we study is a demonic stone." It should be called a natural demonic stone, an object that can be taken from demons. And if we study that technology, we think we can apply it to the direction of artificial demon stones and production techniques.

"As far as it goes. So the only thing you can donate to Emperor Lukeheim is a demon sword made with artificial demon stones, right?

"That's the thing!

I nod a lot to confirm Priscilla. This is the project for the production of the Devil's Sword, which I donate to Emperor Lukeheim.
