"This is amazing, Kyle. You've invented some groundbreaking spell."
"Thank you, Ars-nii. I didn't expect you to be so pleased, though."
"No, no, no. What are you talking about? Your [Thoughtography] can be a spell that can generate a huge wealth by itself. Moreover, even if we were to sell that spell, you can only use it on Barca's botanical paper and not any piece of parchment lying around. We'll be able to sell more paper, as well."
"Will you sell books, too?"
"Yes, let's make books. Hopefully, this will be enough to stabilize Barca's finances."
"Hmm, I wonder if books would sell that well. Basically, books are a luxury item, and usually, only educated nobles and knights can read, right? I'm sure there will be no buyers after a certain amount of sales."
"I'll go and talk with Lilina and the Trion-ojisan about that. But it may be necessary to cultivate the demand. Wait, I've got an idea."
"An idea? What do you have in mind, Ars-nii?"
"Let's use the church. Do you know how they always talk about God's teachings in the church? I'm pretty sure they have a book about it. We can mass produce them and sell them."
"You mean to sell them to the churches? But won't the number of them reach a ceiling?"
"No, it won't. I've been reading that book since I was a kid as a substitute for learning to read, but I found it difficult. Let's make it simpler and easier to read so that even farmers who haven't learned to read can understand it and the general public can access it."
"Hmmm, for farmers. But ordinary people don't have the money to buy books. Besides, they can go to church and listen to stories without buying the books."
Kyle disagreed with my idea.
Is that so?
I've heard in my previous life, the Church's Bible was the best-selling book of all time.
Well, the history of that church is different from that of this one, and even if it is the best-selling book of all time, I don't know if it would sell well if we mass-produced it at this stage.
For the time being, I should just consider it as one of my ideas — making copies of the church in this world's holy book.
But this means that Barca will have a new product.
I hope I will be able to get rid of our lack of money.
With this expectation in my heart, I decided to share this idea with them.

”Ars-sama, please take a look. I made a new garment for you. Would you like to try it on?"
"Oh, Lilina. I just wanted to talk to you about something. Why the beautiful and expensive clothes?"
"Fufu, I tried to make clothes out of the hairs of the goats that you are raising."
"Oh, you made this out of goat's hair? It's totally different from a woolen sweater..."
"Yes. I had Gran make me a yarn spinning machine. Woolen sweaters are warm, but it's not so bad to make clothes out of thin fabric like this, right? I think it's perfect for the warmer months."
I was going to ask Lilina for advice about the book, but as soon as I came to her, she showed me some new clothes, which were made of goat hair, but not like yarn, more like expensive clothes.

Oh, so goat hair could be used for more than just yarn.
"It's amazing. It's smooth to the touch, but it's made of a firm fabric, and it's made to fit my body, so I don't feel uncomfortable wearing it at all. Did you make this?"
"Kind of, but yes. However, I only instructed the tailor on what kind of clothes to make and had him make them. By the way, a tailor artisan moved to Barcania."
"An artesian? Does that mean that the person who came is skilled?"
Yes. I think he heard about Kyle's magic. He had been named as a Reed family member, but I heard that he was originally a tailor. Clarisse and I agreed that it wouldn't be so bad if we could see his skills in person, so we decided to leave the tailoring to him."
I see.
It seems that Lilina's interest in sewing has shifted from fabricating her own clothes to designing her own clothes.
Probably, this outfit is also something that can be used by the nobility.
It can cost a lot of money to make such a garment.
Clothing is a precious thing, but it usually costs a lot of money to have it made by a skilled tailor using high-quality fabric.
However, in the current Barca, it is possible to produce high-quality fabrics in our own territory.
The cost of production can be reduced by a bit.
It seems that Lilina has a variety of other clothing designs that she would like to try making.
"This way I won't look inferior when I meet the other knights in Fontana City."
"Of course. I tailored it to suit you well, Ars-sama. I've tailored it to suit you well, and wherever you go, whoever you meet, there will be no lacking aspects in your clothes."
"Well, thank you, Lilina, I'm glad you designed such good attire. The timing is also very good because we're going to be living in Fontana City. It will give us a fresh look."
"Thank you, Ars-sama. I'll make sure to tailor something that suits you even more in the future!"
"Yeah, but I want to also design something for you, too. You can introduce me to the tailor later."
I can't make my own clothes, but I have plenty of design ideas for them.
There are plenty of clothes that I want Lilina to wear.
Well, even without that, it's nice to know that there are tailors who can make such good clothing.
I've been going to the streets of Fontana wearing something made from the furs of the large boars, and it's rather boorish.
With these new clothes, that boorish look will disappear and I'll look more civil... more cultured.
Besides, we might be able to sell them to the other knights.
Following the books, the clothes could be a new product for Barca.
What's more, paper-making was originally used as a way for women who lost their husbands in the war to work.
A good number of people died in this war.
If I could teach them the art of tailoring clothes, I could create jobs for the newly increased number of widows.
Thus, I decided to build a new tailor's workshop and sewing school in Barcania.
