Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 373

The response to the reception we held in the Imperial Capital was unexpectedly strong.

Shortly after we returned to Bardia from the Imperial City, we were visited by Imperial nobles and merchants from all over the Empire.

They said they could not forget the taste of the food they had eaten at the reception and wanted to eat it once again.

They saw the charcoal trucks and pocket watches, and they want to make new deals.

I want to see the current situation of the Bardia territory.

Many people came for various reasons.

Some of them wanted to steal technology, or to get close to the beastmen working in the workshop or the dwarves, Ellen and Alex, in order to extract them under favorable terms.

However, the children belonging to the "Frontier Special forcess " established within the Second Order quickly detected such people and arrested them on the spot or with evidence.

After that, those arrested were banned from Bardia territory or were severely punished in consultation with the father.

This was also a warning to them, since the Imperial nobility and major merchant associations were probably behind their actions.

If it goes too far, though, we will have to think of new measures.

At the moment, the number of such people is decreasing, so we are just taking a wait-and-see approach.

By the way, I have continued to exchange letters regularly with those who became my friends at the reception.

Among them, the most frequent correspondence is with "Valeri Elasenyse," " who was a villainous daughter in the Otome game "Tokirella!

To my surprise, I met her in the Imperial Capital and found that she had "memories of her previous life.

However, it seems that her memory is vague and she only vaguely remembers it.

Valerie noticed that this world is very similar to "Tokirera! She desude to take various actions to resist her fate.

But, according to Valerie, it all backfired.

At first, she thought of distancing herself from the villainess, the beacon of "absolution.

But since Valerie had memories of her previous life and was reckless, I decided to keep an eye on her, ostensibly as a friend.

But there is another reason why Valerie and I have been exchanging more letters.

A young girl named "Marrone Jean-Paul" is the reason for this.

Marrone is the name of the girl in "Tokirella! she is the protagonist of the story in which she is adopted by the baron's family as "Marrone Rhodopis.

But in this worldline , she is the adopted daughter of the Marquise Jean-Paul.

Valerie had also been concerned about Marrone since we met at the reception, and I told her the information I had obtained through my father.

Valerie then told me that she would deepen her friendship with Marrone and find out what was going on in her life.

To be honest, I was a little apprehensive, but since Valeri also had a talented older brother, Latiga Erasenise, I decided to wait and see what would happen.

As a result, I have been exchanging many letters with Valeri.

But so far we haven't gotten any promising information about Marrone. ......

In the midst of the daily busyness of various correspondence, we received good news from Alex, a dwarf.

Having succeeded in processing the "thunderbolt stone," a magical stone said to possess the power of lightning, the new product was named the "storage magic stone.

The "thunderbolt stone" is a square stone with a color similar to the royal blue of a blue sapphire, as in jewelry.

The shape of the stone can be round or oval, depending on the processing method.

When storing the power of lightning, the storage magic stone emits a pale blue-white light, but when it is used or when the power of lightning is exhausted, the pale light disappears.

However, when the power of lightning is applied once again, the light will begin to glow again, and can be used again.

This is the birth of the "storage battery," as it was called in my previous life.

The beastmen children who helped Alex were pleased with its completion, but they were also wondering, "What's the point of storing electricity? They tilted their heads and wondered, "What's the point of storing electricity?

It is true that it would be difficult to understand the value of a "storage battery" even if it were the only thing that existed.

At the same time, however, we received good news from Ellen, a Dwarf, that an "electric motor" had been completed.

The prototype was a small electric motor about the size of an adult's thumb, though.

But what could be done with the "storage magic stone" and the "small electric motor"?　It was enough to show that to everyone.

Ellen and Alex combined them to develop a "super-compact electric four-wheeled vehicle," and prepared a course in the workshop for it to run on.

They then demonstrated its performance in front of everyone, including their father.

"I'm going to run it　My little four-wheeled vehicle No. 1!"

"Sis. I still don't think you should call it that. ......"

Ellen, not caring what Alex pointed out, drove the small four-wheeled vehicle on the course, and the father roared with admiration at the sight, while the children of the Beast Tribe marveled at the sight.

Perhaps for the first time in this world, "things" moved using the power of "electricity.

Moreover, it was running at a moderate speed with the wind howling through the course, making a small but ear-splitting sound.

It would be impossible not to be surprised.

But isn't the speed of that "small four-wheeler" a little too fast?

At that moment, as expected, the "small four-wheeled vehicle" ran out of the course with great force and crashed into the wall of the workshop.

Aaaaaaahhh� My little four-wheeler, the first one!

I told you to adjust it ...... because it's my sister ......."

The workshop was filled with loud laughter at Ellen's exclamations and Alex's dismayed behavior, but those who witnessed the value and potential of the storage battery through this one incident quickly understood.

Father said of the "storage magic stone" and the "electric machine," "The development of these is a wonderful thing. However, this matter will remain confidential for the time being.

Later that day, a meeting was held with Father in his office at the mansion to discuss the use of the "magic stone" and the "electric motor.

In addition to Ellen and Alex, who were in charge of development, Sandra was there from the magic department.

Chris from the Christie Trading Company, who was in charge of purchasing the "thunderbolt stone," the raw material for the "storage magic stone," was also invited to attend the meeting.

If we can improve the quality of storage batteries and electric motors, and if we can also build a "power station" that can secure a stable source of electricity, a comfortable life like in the previous world will gradually become possible.
