Chapter 427 – A Very Silly Quarrel
Whether useful or not, I have tried to make several things that have not yet been made in this world. First of all, a bicycle. I was able to make this easily with my crafting skills. Mechanical parts that can be made from iron-based materials and slime materials that can be used instead of rubber are very useful. Slime material is too versatile, as it can be used as all kinds of resin and polymer materials.
“It’s very helpful, but it’s very rough.”
Mechanical parts are also a very rough intermediate material. Well, all the materials I make with my skills are like that, so this is nothing new to me. When I take the craft item called “mechanical parts” from my inventory, it looks like a square cube with iron-like gear marks on it. I wonder if these are not mechanical parts themselves but something like the concept of mechanical parts. Even gunpowder made by crafting can be used as normal smokeless gunpowder, even though the material is black gunpowder-like… Well, it’s useless to think about it in detail. The unreasonableness or absurdity of this ability, or the lack of common sense, is nothing new.
“Hmm, excellent work.”
I grin as I watch the rear wheels turn nimbly. With my crafting skills, I can make all the high-precision ball bearings I want. This is good work, isn’t it?
I have installed a large number of Golem-type machine tools in the R&D department in Merinesburg, but it is still difficult to make ball bearings with perfect precision, isn’t it?
While I was thinking about this and that, there was a knock at the door from outside.
“Yes, what is it?”
“It’s almost time for dinner. Can I bring you your meal?”
It was Gerda’s voice from the other side of the door.
“Eh? No, I think I’ll just eat in the dining room.”
“Uh… I’m afraid that will be difficult with the discussion still going on.”
“Ah, yes.”
It seems that they are trying to minimize contact until they can come to an agreement.
As for me, it doesn’t have to be that important; just reduce the frequency and intensity, and I’ll be fine. Love is… love is too heavy. Physically. Let’s just stop using recovery magic and potions. And Melty, and the harpies, and the rest of them, I want them to pull themselves together. Take a lesson from Shumel and the others, who are surprisingly considerate of me.
“Then I’ll tell them.”
“Yes.”
Gerda interviewed me in the workshop while I was being served by the beastmen maids. According to Gerda, the discussion was quite contentious. She said that they were not getting anywhere discussing it on their own, so they instructed her to interview me while I was eating. In any case, I told them that everyone should get along with each other, so I hope there will be no fatal deterioration in the relationship.

The next day, after spending the night in the workshop.
You asked why I didn’t go back to the bedroom? I was told to stay in the workshop today, so I did some light remodeling and put up a bed. I’ve done a lot of renovations and additions. In particular, I know the building that houses the R&D department and my crafting room because I built it myself on the former Kingsguard training grounds behind the castle.
So, the result of the discussion, or rather the exchange of information, or rather the meeting, was this.
“The use of drugs, magic, and miracles is forbidden. Melty is not allowed to have sex with Kosuke for a while. The harpies will be limited to a maximum of three people at a time.”
Of course, Melty and the harpies appealed this decision. However, it was not Sylphy or Grande, but Shumel and the other oni girls who rejected it.
“Until you learn to control your temper, you should be careful.”
“Human men are fragile, after all.”
“Melty-san, who is a demon species, can’t be helped because she hasn’t been taught by her predecessors, but the harpies are… that’s why men are afraid of you.”
The girls of the oni tribe are more of a happy-go-lucky type or something; well, they take away the opposite sex they like, and you become the daddy (mommy)! It would seem that they would be a fearsome race with a culture like that, but they know how strong their own bodies are and how fragile the bodies of other races are. In other words, they know how to relate to each other. Consequently.
“Anyway, it’s no good. You are not allowed to visit on your own. You must be accompanied by a guardian, and the number of visitors must be limited.”
Melty and the harpies still resisted, but the result of the discussion remained the same. I don’t think it’s right to say “no visitors,” but Bella says it, and there’s no end to it, so I won’t argue about it.
Also, some of the work I was in charge of that was assigned to Seraphita-san, and Driada will be returned to my hands. To a certain extent, I mean, the communication with the factories and the merchant guild, or rather, the practical matters, will still be handled by me. I should stand above them and, manage their respective businesses, and start new businesses.
“So this matter is settled.”
“Boo!”
“Boo-boo-boo.”
“You can’t complain. It won’t last forever, so please bear with it for a while.”
Despite being booed by Melty and the harpies, Sylphy said this and ended the discussion. Well, I guess we’ll just have to grope our way through it for a while. I’ll have to work a little harder to improve my strength and constitution… but that’s impossible. I’m going to die.
Well, the fact that we can now spend a whole day discussing such a trivial topic might be a sign that this country has become more relaxed. I suppose that’s a good thing, so I welcome it.
