Reincarnated as a Legendary Talent Genius of a Noble Family Episode 322

209. This Is Getting Interesting

[Excellent. Power is being supplied stably.]

The process of attaching my special mana stone, that is, the disposable mana stone, to the Mini Golem wasn’t very difficult.

[It’s quite simple since you just need to secure the circulation path and you’re done.]

“So now we don’t need to worry for a month?”

[Even without a mana stone, a day or two should be fine. I can operate on the reserve mana built into me. However, please be especially careful as there may be information loss when the power runs out.]

And so the Mini Golem’s power problem was simply resolved.

“I just need to focus on developing rechargeable mana stones then?”

“I’ll think about what to do with that too.”

The rechargeable mana stone that was originally planned for the Mini Golem now just needed to be focused on development.

“With this much, I could probably clear away half of what I was inventing before, with some exaggeration.”

Especially according to Big Sister, rechargeable mana stones would probably bring about changes on the level of transforming the era.

Of course, applying those changes and having others adapt to them is another new problem entirely.

[Miss Arabella, I’ve told you all the necessary principles and formulas, so now you just need to research. If you have any questions, please contact Dane.]

“I will. Thank you, Mini Golem.”

[…It seems you have no intention of giving me another name after all.]

By the way, what should I do with this Mini Golem.

“Karnas is in my arms though.”

“Kiryuk!”

Karnas poked his head out from my arms and looked down at the Mini Golem.

[Impudent mini dragon. Don’t look down on me.]

“Kiryuk?”

[Are you ignoring me?]

Then Big Sister came up with a good idea.

“How about at your waist? Wait a moment.”

A little later.

[What, what are you trying to do?]

“Stay still. It won’t hurt, I’m just attaching something.”

[What on earth are you doing to my perfect body right now…]

Big Sister carefully applied a sticky liquid to the top of the Mini Golem’s head.

And the keychain she brought…

Pop.

She stuck it on.

Very firmly.

[…What did you attach?]

“Now it’s done, Dane. Try hanging it. Yes. On that buckle there.”

I took the struggling Mini Golem and hung it at my waist.

Click.

The pleasant sound of the clasp catching.

And so the Mini Golem came to dangle from my waist.

“Does it interfere with walking?”

“No. Not at all. It’s comfortable. It sways a bit, but this much is fine.”

“That’s good.”

The Mini Golem’s incredulous voice flowed out.

[Are you treating me like an accessory right now?]

“Why, it’s unique and only good.”

Big Sister chimed in with my answer.

“That’s right. If you wear this to a social party, you’ll be the center of attention immediately, right?”

Right, attention would definitely be focused.

As if there’s a noble family heir in this world who goes around with a stone dangling from their waist.

[…Did the aesthetic standards of this world change a bit while I wasn’t aware?]

“Fashion goes in cycles. These days ‘overtick’ accessories are trendy.”

What on earth does overtick mean.

I think I roughly understand the meaning though.

Fortunately, the Mini Golem seems to understand too.

[If that’s the case…]

It’s fortunate that it’s playing along.

Good.

Now then, shall I go outside the Academy.

Wearing this Mini Golem accessory.

“Hey, Dane. What’s that thing?”

“It’s a newly acquired accessory.”

“Really? It’s quite eye-catching. Did your Big Sister make it for you?”

“Something like that.”

As expected, I’m the center of attention from the Academy entrance.

I wonder if I should wear a cloak or something when going around.

“Going out?”

“Yes, going out. Here’s my outing pass.”

“Just how many outing passes do you have. If it were me, I’d have sold them to make a fortune. Do you know how many kids would give their liver and gall bladder to get one of those transferred to them.”

“Didn’t they catch another one the day before yesterday? Trying to go through the dog hole.”

“Anyway, no matter how much we block that damn dog hole, there’s no end to it. Pass through, Dane.”

Passing through the guards’ chatter, I stepped out of the Academy onto the capital streets.

[Dane, am I really eye-catching?]

“It seems that way.”

The Mini Golem asked as soon as we came out.

The fellow answered quite satisfactorily.

[Then that’s good. Not bad. Being an accessory too.]

Right, being positive is the best.

“By the way, there’s quite a lot to do.”

[Things to do, you mean?]

Since there are things I’ve started, it’s natural, but naturally they’re not things a diligent undergraduate student at the Academy would do.

Supplying non-existent mana stones to back the pharmaceutical business, plus investigating Arcana.

“There’s a place to go.”

[Interesting. So you’re not simply just a student?]

“You’ll know when you see.”

And so I headed to Viscount Otier’s factory.

“Have you arrived, benefactor?”

Of course, since my identity must not be revealed, Viscount Otier still doesn’t know my identity.

“Viscount Otier. How are things?”

“New Dream development is proceeding smoothly. Thanks to your support. However, there are quite a few variables. As mentioned in the report, securing key materials seems to be the crucial point.”

While Viscount Otier briefly went to get a prototype to report on development progress, the Mini Golem asked.

[What is this ‘New Dream’?]

“Hair loss medicine.”

[…Is that the hair loss I know of?]

“If you thought it was a symptom where hair falls out and crushes people’s hearts, that’s correct.”

[Even Lord Dekanius devoted his entire life to it… Has it been completed in the current era?]

Following the tremendously surprised reaction, an emotional response followed as well.

[Lord Dekanius… Lord Dekanius’s dream is here…]

“That person must have been desperate too?”

[How could it be just desperate? It was a national research project where mages from different factions gathered together for the first time in Arcana to put their heads together.]

Yet what they failed to achieve, a person named Annabel accomplished.

Of course, since only I can create the core materials for that research, I’m the one who will commercialize it.

[But to think this would be recreated in the modern era…]

“The key is the materials. No matter what techniques are applied, it’s impossible without the core materials.”

[What are these materials you speak of?]

Just as I was about to answer, Viscount Otier returned.

“Here are the estimated material consumption figures.”

“This should be no problem for production. Don’t worry about it.”

“I’ll trust only you, my benefactor.”

Viscount Otier immediately looked at my waist and tilted his head curiously.

“Is that a fashionable accessory these days?”

“It’s an accessory I hope becomes fashionable.”

“Ah, I understand. A fashion leader, something like that.”

A fashion leader.

That’s something I never thought of.

Thanks to that, the Mini Golem seems to be puffing up with pride.

Should I paint some color on it while I’m at it?

I think gold would stand out more and be better than the dull black color.

“By the way, how is your daughter doing?”

“She’s very healthy. She still has symptoms of aphasia and is undergoing treatment, but she can speak simple words again.”

“That’s fortunate.”

Viscount Otier smiled brightly.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it the brightest smile in the world.

“We’re planning to start selling the treatment soon. The market reaction seems like it will be hot too.”

“I’d be grateful if you continue to work hard in the future.”

Then Viscount Otier shared some curious news.

“Oh, right. There’s a rumor you should hear about.”

“A rumor?”

“There’s a rumor that the Imperial Palace is keeping an eye on our business.”

The Imperial Palace.

That’s noteworthy.

Not only the treatment developed by Viscount Otier, but ‘New Dream’ is like a dream come true for many middle-aged noble men, isn’t it?

“Have there been any special movements?”

“Not immediately. But I think someone will come looking soon, don’t you?”

“For now, receive them well and listen to their conditions. Don’t make a decision right away.”

“How could there be any question? I’ll report back immediately.”

If the Imperial Palace comes looking, we could aim for business expansion.

Well, I’ll have to keep my identity hidden though.

I went to find Sidrain afterward.

“Kid, it’s been a while.”

“Nothing happened, right?”

“Of course something happened. I’ve been completely swamped because of the aspiring mages you dumped on me and the business.”

Even though he said that, Sidrain looked quite happy.

His dream of approaching the 9th Circle went somewhere, and after tasting money, only a grinning person remained.

Of course, it doesn’t look bad in its own way.

“The business is running very well. There are even rumors that the Imperial Palace is keeping an eye on it these days.”

“I heard from Viscount Otier.”

“You already heard? Anyway, it’s an opportunity for business expansion. If we involve the Imperial Palace, we should be able to secure distribution networks too. We’ll have to hear what kind of proposal they make first though.”

Sidrain thinks similarly.

That makes me feel more reassured too.

“So, where have you been wandering around these days?”

“I went here and there. I met demons and explored Arcana’s knowledge too.”

“I figured as much. You’re getting involved in unimaginable things again.”

Did I know it would turn out like this?

It just happened this way as I went along.

Both the demons and Arcana’s things.

The beginning was nothing more than ruins exploration after all.

I took the opportunity to remove the Mini Golem from the keychain and handed it over.

“What’s this pebble?”

[You must be Sidrain.]

“…Did you just speak to me?”

The explanation didn’t take very long.

However, it took some time for Sidrain to accept it, along with some excitement.

“An artifact from Arcana!”

[An artifact? Please be careful with your word choice. I am an advanced mana program algorithm created by the great mage of Arcana, Lord Dekanius.]

“Anyway, I’m witnessing a product of Arcana right now!”

I entrusted the Mini Golem to Sidrain entirely and took a brief look around the workshop.

[Put me down, Sidrain.]

“I’ve always had many questions! So, were there any 9th Circle achievers in Arcana?”

[Determining a mage’s level by circles is a very fragmentary interpretation…]

They seem to be having fun.

The workshop is running quite well.

The people working here are also trustworthy, and following Viscount Otier’s advice, we’ve prepared facilities isolated by process.

So they can know about their own processes, but not others’ processes.

Most importantly, since they don’t know the materials used and mixing ratios, theft is impossible, so I’m at ease.

But besides this, there’s a lot to do.

Let’s see, next I need to go to the desert and visit the place Ernest’s father told me about to go to the Dragon’s Lair…

There’s a mountain of things to do, isn’t there?

“Kid, this fellow is amazing. Can’t I keep him for a while?”

After taking a tour around the factory like that, Sidrain was saying this.

“No.”

I simply refused and hung the Mini Golem back on my waist.

[Dane, make sure that old man never encounters me again. He’s crazy.]

“Why suddenly?”

[He was ready to dismantle and analyze me.]

Sidrain protested.

“Dismantle and analyze what! I was just looking for where the lid was to peek inside!”

[That’s dismantling and analysis, old man.]

“Kid, if you lend him to me for two days, no, just one day, I’ll give you anything!”

I lightly ignored Sidrain’s earnest request and changed the subject.

“Let’s talk about purchasing mana stones. I think we might be able to diversify our products.”

“Diversify?”

“We adjust the efficiency and sell them. Like I mentioned before.”

“Ah, right. You said you could control the efficiency. Actually, speaking of which, the person who wants to buy mana stones is quite unique.”

“Unique how?”

“A merchant. A merchant with quite an extensive nationwide distribution network.”

A merchant.

And one with a nationwide distribution network at that.

This could be a huge help to our business.
