As my thoughts drifted about the Gerald Merchant Group, my sister spoke up.
Bridget: “And this is the most important part, but the Royal Magecraft Knights have started taking down several of the Knights of Lumen’s hideouts.”
Werner: “.......I see…..”
Bridget: “Yes. That’s why the enemy is feeling cornered. This isn’t the first time that I’ve been attacked either.”
Werner: “Sister, you could have let me know.”
Bridget: “I’m the heir of the Marquis Family, so it’s not unusual for assassins to target my life. I wouldn’t bother you about that every time it happens.”
And my sister laughed as she spoke.
Werner: “No, no. This incident was related to me, so you could have let me know, right?” Bridget: “That’s true. I guess we are even then.”
Werner: “............”
It was hard to argue with her when she put it that way.
I was also not reporting about issues with the Galatea Empire that would have involved the Marquis Family.
Bridget: “Then let’s make sure that we exchange all the proper information from now on, Werner.”
Werner: “Okay.” Bridget: “And you should sleep at the main mansion.”
Werner: “Does that have anything to do with what we’re talking about now?”
Bridget: “Of course. If you sleep here, then we’ll have more opportunities to talk, no?” Werner: “I will take it into consideration.”
After I was done speaking with my sister, I returned to my Research Lab.
Werner: “...........I need to hurry.”
It was not a time for making a Dog-Walking Artifact.
If my sister’s life was in danger, then I need to finish the Barrier Artifact so that it can communicate with the outside world.
I sat down in my chair, and as I began my research, Taro, the Dog-Walking Artifact, came and sat down by my feet.
Taro: [Pi-pi]
Werner: “Taro, thank you for cleaning.”
Taro: [Pi-pi-pi]
Though it’s an Artifact, I can’t help but feel that Taro is more of a pet than a tool.
I pet Taro’s body and began concentrating and drawing up my design.

Hati: “My Lordー”
Werner: “...............”
Hati: “My Lord~”
Werner: “...................!!”
Looks like Hati was calling for me.
I couldn’t remember how long she was calling.
I stood up and headed to the front door.
Werner: “What’s wrong, Hati?” Hati: “Could you first let Hati inside?”
Werner: “Yeah, sure…”
I deactivate the barrier and let Hati inside.
Werner: “So, did something happen?”
Hati: “What do you mean, did something happen?”
Werner: “Hm?” Hati: “Does my Lord know what time it is right now?”
Werner: “There are no clocks here. They are quite expensive.”
The typical person will not have a clock, but there are craftsmen who make them.
They are not Magecraft Artifacts, but they need a large amount of small parts, and they are incredibly expensive.
Hati: “So, what time does my Lord think it is?” Werner: “Around…..8 o’clock?”
I remember it turning into morning.
The morning light pierced through the window, and because it was so bright, I woke up to close the curtains.
