Chapter 33: 29

When we arrived at the backyard, we immediately started preparing to build the workshop.

　The first thing we had to do was to select a location. We had already done this last time, so we only needed to check.

　The next step was to design the building. This is where Mei's talent came into play. First, she drew a picture of what kind of building she wanted on a piece of paper with a pen, and her drawing was very good. Her lines were not blurred at all, and her perspective was very clear. The quality of her drawings is so good that she might be able to make a living as a painter in a few years.

　But that's where it really begins. Mei''s blueprint of the workshop was as accurate as if it were drawn by a professional architect. It was not the kind of building that a young child would draw that ignored the laws of physics. She had designed the workshop realistically, with a firm understanding of the laws of physics at work in the real world.

"Wow, ......, that's amazing ......!"

　I could not help but groan at this.

　Mei's blueprint was based on stone, but the building itself was a two-story structure. Just like Mei 's parents' house, the first floor was the workshop and the second floor was the living space.

　It seems that the roof and floor will be made of wood. It was a perfect blueprint.

"Mei , did you just think of this?"

"Yes, I did. , I just made the house a little more three-dimensional.

　Modern buildings are made of reinforced concrete, so it's a different story, but basically, pre-modern stone buildings are not 100% stone.

　Thinking  about it. If all the roofs and floors were made of stone, what guarantee would there be that they would not fall down? In the first place, it would be nearly impossible to cut out stones of the same size as those used for the ceiling and floor.

　So the basic pattern is to build a frame out of wood, or make the building stand on its own with stone walls, and then just put a wooden roof on top.

　...... Would a six-year-old with no building experience normally design a wooden roof or second floor?　They would never think that deeply about it. Not many adults understand the roof and framework of a stone building either, I guess.

　It really makes me think that Mei is always looking at things in great detail. I guess people with a different point of view like this will become big deals in the future. Mei  is still a great girl.

"The material ...... for the stone walls is fine because of May's earth magic, but the problem is the wood for the roof.

　The wood for the roof and floor of the workshop must be straight. The wood for the roof and floor of the workshop must be straight, not squishy like in a pit house.

"I'll ask the servants in the finance department.

　I'm sorry to say that I have to rely on them every time, but I hope they'll tolerate it as a child's work.

　I'm sorry that I have to ask them every time.

"Lumber?　It's in Warehouse No. 4. I'll show you."

　Our administration department was excellent. It is a mystery why the warehouse of a nobleman's mansion is stocked with straight lumber, just like a lumber store, but it is better to have it than not, so I will not complain. A certain amount of waste is important. If you keep cutting back, you're going to go bankrupt in an emergency.

"Then let's take this and this with us."

　This time, according to the plan Mei  had designed, I carried a few pieces of wood of a good length. I can carry a few pieces of wood with no problem if I am physically enhanced, so I  can carry all the wood back and forth several times.

"I'll return the key to the warehouse later, so you can go back."

"All right. "

I told the servant that, and I decided to work hard with Mei on the transport. 　. After a few back and forth trips, we (or rather  just me ) finally finished carrying all the lumber for the framework.

"Alright!　I'm going to build it now!"

　Well, I guess it's okay that Mei seems to be having fun.

"Well, I'll start building the pillars."

"Yes!

　I carefully pushed the pillar into the ground according to the blueprint, making sure it was vertical. I carefully pushed the pillar into the ground so that it was perpendicular to the blueprint.

　For a while after that, I built the pillars and Mei  continued to correct them according to the plans.

　The next step was to build the wall.

"Okay, Mei-. I'm looking forward to working with you.

 "Me too "

　As she rolled up her arms, Mei used earth attribute magic with a subtle line that could not be called a spell.

"'Gnome, I want to make a stone wall, so please do your best.

　What do you mean, "please do your best"? And what about the earth spirit gnomes who do their best with that random spell?"

　But the effect of that random spell was tremendous, and the stone wall that grew out of the ground grew larger and larger, covering the framework. It was an excellent construction process, but when it reached the halfway point, the stone wall suddenly stopped.

"Mei?"

"It's ...... already...."

　When I looked, I saw that Mei had run out of magic power and collapsed. This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

"Water  ......."

"What Mei needs now is not water, but magic power.

　I don't know where I learned that.

　As I prodded her, I tuned in to her wavelength and transferred my own magic power to her. Mei  is recovering quickly.

"Oh, I'll come back to life. ......"

　This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing. After regaining her energy, she resumed construction.

　So, after two more sessions of replenishing her magic (this time before she collapsed), I built the roof, Mei built the walls, and the workshop was finally complete.

"It's done!"

　We high-fived each other and shared our joy. ...... But as usual, I was hugged. Mei, you love to hug me. ...... I don't know if she's strong because she's a dwarf, but it's quite painful .......

　Well, I don't feel bad that she likes me, so I won't say anything.

　It's a good thing that I was able to complete it this time, but I don't think I can stick around every time I need to replenish her magic. She's not a person with a lot of magical energy, so if she's going to stay in the workshop as long as she wants, we'll have to solve the problem of supplying her with magical energy.

　I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it. ......
