Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 374

It may be difficult to imagine what electric motor motors are used for, but many of the home appliances we are familiar with in our previous lives, such as vacuum cleaners, washing machines, and electric fans, were powered by electric motors of various sizes.

Even more familiar is the water supply, which is powered by an electric pump.

Using such a highly convenient world of the previous generation as a citation, he explained to everyone how to effectively utilize "storage magic stones" and "electric motors.

As a result, it was decided to construct a power plant in Bardia territory using the prototype of a charcoal-fueled "generator" developed by Ellen and others as the foundation.

We are also considering hydroelectric power generation and wind power generation using magic, but our first priority should be the development of "power tools" and securing a source of electricity to reduce the burden of "processing work" as much as possible and to make it more efficient.

Ellen and Alex, dwarves, leaned forward when they heard the word "tools.

"So you are going to develop 'tools' by downsizing the storage magic stone and combining it with a small electric motor? Surely such a useful tool would make work much more effective than it is now. Right, Alex?"

"Yes, it would. Besides, if we use a powerful electric machine, we can build a large-sized processing machine, right?"

"Yes, that's right. In my previous life, there were many processing machines that used large electric motors. Wood, steel, and various other materials were cut, compressed, and polished by processing machines, and the final details were finished by craftsmen."

Ellen and the others looked at me expectantly when I answered that.

I have no problem citing the matter of my previous life, as I have explained it to everyone present here before.

Rather, I told them in order to facilitate the conversation in this way, you know.

After some discussion with Ellen and the others, he turned his gaze to Sandra.

'I want to ask Sandra to cooperate with Ellen and the others to research improvements to make more effective use of 'communication magic. I think this can be done by using the 'storage magic stone' to create a tool to assist in 'communication."

Communication magic" is a magic that was created by combining the magic taught to the three sisters, Salvia, Silvia, and Selvia of the Rat Tribe and Aria of the Bird Tribe.

To put it simply, it is a magic that uses the attribute of lightning to enable 'conversation through wireless communication'.

However, there are still room for improvement, such as the restriction that the sender and receiver must activate at the same time when using this magic.

"I am sorry, I am also very interested to see what can be done with the "storage magic stone. Let's try out various things."

'Yes, . Please do."

When she nodded, the topic of conversation shifted to road maintenance from the Bardia territory to the imperial capital.

The road maintenance ordered by His Majesty Irwin, the emperor, was immediately started by the members of the Second Order.

At the current rate of progress, it would take less than a month to complete the work.

Once the road maintenance is completed, Chris and I will start delivering the "sweet wine" that Empress Matilda ordered from us.

Chris was also negotiating with certain nobles to do what I had asked of him, while selling his face to nobles he normally did not meet at social gatherings.

Chris put a document in front of me and my father.

"Master Rid, Master Rainer. Negotiations with the nobles who have producing areas in the empire are proceeding smoothly. We will be able to secure the quantity without delay for the time being."

I looked over the documents with my father and found that most of the contracts had been settled at the price we had hoped for.

"Thank you, Chris. I'm surprised they agreed to your low offer."

"Yes. I am amazed that the nobles accepted it."

The price offered to the nobles was a fairly high amount, calculated based on the current market price of thunder stones and on the condition of purchasing large quantities of them.

Therefore, I had expected the other side to negotiate, but I did not expect the negotiations to proceed so well, and I was surprised together with my father.

She grinned.

"They said that the Thunderbolt was useless and worthless, so it was more important for them to be able to do business with the Bardia family. In addition, for the wives of the other party, we will provide some of the lotion that Her Majesty Matilda uses and the amazake that she likes. ...... When I told them that, they immediately shook their heads."

"I see. ......"

It is true that after the reception, there are many nobles who want to do business with the Bardia family.

And it is said that in the imperial capital, the voice of the noble ladies who want the lotion and sweet wine of the Christie Trading Company, which was favored by Her Majesty Matilda, is getting stronger and stronger day by day.

Chris must have understood this point and went into the negotiations.

While smiling at her skill, the meeting with everyone continued for a while after that.

â—‡

When the meeting was over, everyone left the office, saying, "Now, if you'll excuse me."

Father and I were left alone in the room.

Diana was waiting outside the office, and Farah, Asuna, and Capella were doing clerical work related to the Second Order in the office of the dormitory.

At first, I had no intention of asking Fara to do office work.

However, she offered to help me in any way she could." I would like to help you in any way I can," and so I began to ask her to do clerical work for the Second Order.

Recently, when I have free time, I often do clerical work with Farah at the accommodation.

Not long after that, Father, who is sitting on the sofa in front of me across the desk, exhales, "Phew .......

'Now, next, regarding the movements in the territory, what about the educational courses for the children of knights belonging to the Bardia Order of the Knights of Bardia?"

The next move in the territory is to offer educational courses to the children of knights belonging to the Knights of Bardia. The number of children is limited to 30 on a trial basis, and they are being trained and adjusted to the same educational program as the children of the Beast Tribe.

Here in the Bardia territory, they were recruiting human children who would be given the same educational program as the beastmen children on a trial basis.

Since it was a trial, the recruitment was limited to the children of knights belonging to the Knights of Bardia.

Parents and their children, who had witnessed the successes of the 2nd Knights and the bowl battle, heard the news and were delighted that they could learn the knowledge, magic, and martial arts of the Bardia family.

However, because there were too many applicants for the openings, written, martial arts, and magic examinations were held.

After I returned from the capital, Garn reported the results of the trials to me, and we decided to make a selection.

I am sure that they will be recruiting again next year, and I would like to give priority to those children who were not selected.

I have also told them that I want them to polish their fundamentals in preparation for that time.

As a result, though, I've been inundated with inquiries from eager parents asking what they should teach their children�. ......

Among the thirty selected from the trial is the name of "Tis," the daughter of Cross, the deputy commander of the Bardia Knights and a friend of Mel'

She had apparently kept up her daily training since we had previously met, and all of Tis' test results were perfect.

However, the fact that she is now closer to Mel has caused certain problems.

Father's brow wrinkled as he muttered crisply, "It's ...... just, isn't it?

'Just ...... what?"

"Mel seems to occasionally join those children in training."

"What ......�?"

Father rolled his eyes, but I guess that's true.

I had the same reaction when I got the report from the children's training instructors.

When Mel learned that the knight children were to be gathered at the dormitory for training, she said, "I want to take the training with the others! " and overcoming Danae's protests, she went directly to the knight instructors.

At first, the knight instructors refused, but Mel pushed them away, and they were compelled to say no: "At least, if you have the ability to do it, Meldy-sama would be able to ......."

But that was a gaffe.

Mel had participated in training with me and Fara, and had already acquired the "appropriate ability."

At that time, Mel smiled prettily, I heard.

She had a hand-to-hand combat with Tis, the best in the tests, and showed her ability, silencing the instructors and the children.

However, the story came to Mother's knowledge through Danae, and I heard that Mel was scolded by her, just as I was scolded by Father.

But even so, she seems to have remained unfazed and participated in the training with the children.

She seems to enjoy being in contact with children of the same age, despite their different backgrounds, and although her mother scolds her, she seems to understand Mel's feelings and tolerates her to some extent.

After the explanation was over, Father put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.

"Huh. ....... I've had a bad feeling about this ever since Mel became interested in martial arts and magic under your influence, but it looks like it's finally happening."

"Oh, hahaha. But at Mel's age, she might be just the right age to be a tomboy."

"A tomboy, huh ......? I'll leave it to Nanalee to deal with Mel. "

After saying this, the father looked up and returned to his usual strict expression.

He then turned his sharp eyes toward us.

"I'd like to talk to you about something else."

What is it? He leaned back against the back of the sofa and said, with a deep sigh,

"You are a little young to begin learning what it takes to be heir to the House of Bardia,

What is necessary to be a successor to the Bardia family? I am in awe of you. But who will teach me that?"

From his mood and mannerisms, I guessed that it would be something different from what I usually learned, something imperialistic.

As I was thinking this, my father leaned forward and smiled wryly.

"It's obvious ...... it's me."
