Chapter 204 - Progress Report

 

"Hey, Billy. How's it going?"

"Oh, Ars-sama. I'm sorry. I haven't had any success with it yet..."

"Hmm? That's not true. The messenger bird is quite useful. It's a successful creation, right?"

"Yeah, but it's not a Magic-type Familiar. Don't I need to hatch a Magic-type that can use magic to actually call it a success?"

"That is the ultimate goal, yes. However, I heard that flying beasts are quite valuable. And Carlos-sama is asking for more, as well."

"Oh, the Lord of Fontana?"

"Ah, you know how Carlos-sama is gathering all of the Knights in Fontana at Fontana City, right? Even so, it doesn't mean that the work of governing our various regions itself will disappear. So, he wants to improve the roads in each territory to speed up the flow of people, and also wants to be able to do political work while in Fontana City by exchanging letters using those flying Familiars."

"Hmm... so that's what he wishes to do. Then, do we need to increase the number of flying Familiars in the future, Ars-sama?"

"Yes, we do. I'm sorry for the extra work Billy, but I want you to produce more of these types of Familiars as well as continuing on in the research to create a Familiar that can use [Spawn]. If you need anything, just ask."

"Waaa~, I get it. Uh, well, then I have one request..."

"What is the request? If you're short on manpower, I can increase the number of workers."

"That would be great! But that's not it... Could you please not take the people you'd designated to contributing in the hatching of the Familiar eggs to battle, Ars-sama?"

"Not take them to war? I'd like to take anyone with the Barca surname into battle unless there are special circumstances. Why do you want that?"

"─ Y-yes. We are using [Mana Injection] to hatch the Familiar Eggs, right? The combination of different types of mana changes what type of Familiar is hatched. It just so happened that they were safe this time, but I don't want the people who used [Mana Injection] to give life to the flying-type Familiar to die in battle."

　Oh, I see.

 

　I hadn't thought about that at all.

 

　The Familiar eggs have the characteristic of changing the traits that are produced depending on the mana taken in.

 

　And by combining different mana, the possibilities increase even more.

 

　However, if there is no one left to provide the mana, it will be difficult to obtain others of the same species, you could say, afterward.

　The Valkyrie that I hatched is special.

 

　She can use Familiar Eggs to create more Valkyries who can also use Familiar Eggs to create more of themselves, but a normal Familiar can't do that.

 

　Perhaps it was one of the effects of the spell [Sharing] that Valkyrie was born with.

 

　Their numbers can increase even if I, the originator of the first Valkyrie, am no longer around, but this is not the case with other Familiar.

 

　If you want to secure a Familiar with the traits you want, you must always have someone with the mana type necessary to hatch it.

“I understand. I'll try to assign them to jobs that won't kill them unnecessarily.”

"Oh, thank you very much, Ars-sama! I am very grateful to you!”

“Do not worry about it much. If there's anything that's bothering you in the future, just let me or Kyle know, Billy.”

　In addition, if you succeed in producing a Magic-type with [Spawn] as early as possible, everything is worth it.

 

　I'm sure there's no point in rushing it too much.

 

　I thought to myself as I looked at the research materials that Billy had compiled.

"Hey, you there, Mimu?"

“Just a minute…! Oh, well, well, well, well, my comrade. Thank you for coming! How are you?”

"Same old, same old. Painter-kun was saddened. He said that if you were to get the Reed family’s magic, you could create the human body diagrams by yourself, you know?”

"Hmm… I’ll have a small talk with Mosh-kun later. Don't you think it would be a waste of time to get out of that job?”

“But you can draw it yourself, can't you? Why are you making him draw the anatomy diagrams?”

“The spell [Thoughtography] is useful, but it's not universal. The anatomical diagrams require an accurate picture, but it is difficult to understand if you just draw it as you see it. The only way to complement my research is to describe the necessary parts in a clear and accurate manner.”

"...... Hmm, I guess that's how it works. Well, I'll leave that to you, so go and calm down painter-kun. So, what's going on today? I was wondering how the clinical trials were going, as well as the progress on the anatomical drawings.”

“Oh, if you want to know about that, I've got the information here. After the clinical trials, we've been increasing the number of other medications put to the test in order to determine their effects. The results were generally the same as I had expected, but some of them weren’t. I guess it's important to do a little more research."

"...... Ah? It seems that quite a few medications have been found to be ineffective or have negative effects?”

“Yeah, I've been traveling around the world and testing them right now. Of course, there are some that raise eyebrows.”

“Oh, I see. It's more chaotic than I thought.”

“Is it? I guess it's like that, Ars-shii. Anyhow, since you're here, is there something you'd like to research?”

“Yeah. I was just wondering, do you have any poisons for assassination?”

“...... Assassination. Are you willing to use such a drug, my comrade?”

“No, it's not that I want to use it, it's that I'm thinking about the possibility of it being used on me. If I die now, Barca will collapse. I may die fighting, but that doesn't mean there won't be someone who wants to assassinate me. In that case, I was wondering if I could be poisoned.”

"Hmm, I see. Well, I can see how that might be a concern. I don't have a complete list, but there are certainly poisons that are used in assassinations. In that case, should I prepare antidotes for them?”

"Yes, please. If there are tasteless, odorless, and/or slow-acting poisons, I would like to know how to detect them. Should I use silver chopsticks or something?”

“Silverware is certainly a traditional method. However, it will not work. I understand. If I lose you, Ars-shii, I'll lose this place that I've acquired, too. I'll be happy to help you get antidotes for possible assassinations.”

"Thanks, Mimu. You're the only person I know who can help me with this kind of thing. I'm counting on you.”

“Yes, you can count on me, comrade!”

　I don't want to dwell on it this much, but I have to think about it as a possibility.

 

　I'm afraid of being poisoned.

 

　In fact, I've been warned by Carlos and Leon.

 

　They have told me that we don't know what anyone will do to get rid of Barca, who has recently become a powerhouse.

 

　In the meantime, I've asked Gran to make sure that Lilina and I’s new residence in Fontana City will have maximum security.

 

　However, buildings alone are not enough.

 

　There are many other dangers, but we also need to be careful about the food we eat, which is something we never do on a regular basis.

　That's why I came to Mimu for advice.

 

　As expected of a professional, he knows a lot.

 

　He is especially knowledgeable about things that are not available around the Fontana territory.

 

　The fact that I had built a glasshouse in a neighboring village which was turned into a greenhouse for Mimu was also a big help in being able to acquire foreign goods as a stable item.

 

　I had succeeded in getting prepared for any cases of assassinations using poison.
