Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu - Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Magic Construction happens

“Pillar!!”

With a voice that felt as if a cannon was going to be shot, a thick and long pillar extends together with a tremor.

The ground trembling was a peculiar sensation.

Now that I think about it, this world doesn’t have that many earthquakes.

This amount of shaking doesn’t bother me, but the children, staff members, and most of the spectators were flustered by the unfamiliar sensation.

With no talk and only eye contact, several craftsmen were moving in coordination, and were making smaller pillars than the first one, one after the other.

“Hurry with the setting of the floor materials!”

“Done, chief!”

Square shaped materials were being placed out noisily.

Those are the pieces that were made from dismantling the orphanage.

Hanasaki was entertaining everyone with his wondrous juggling while he was carrying those to the place they are supposed to go. It is a sight to behold.

One of those is heavy enough to easily crush someone, you know.

It was so unreal that the children were getting excited as if they were watching a circus trope.

Thanks to that, Hanasaki-kun was popular with the children.

Maybe I should learn some sort of tricks in the future…?

“Compaction confirmation!”

“Arranged soil, geographical features improved, and all necessary compactions finished!”

“Okay! Deploy the flooring!!”

““Deploying!!””

After a brief space of time, all the flooring material liquified on the whole site. The pillars seemed to be working on some sort of criteria as they moved apart in an unnatural manner sometimes…and a glittery tiled floor was created.

Yeah.

This is that, huh.

They use magic to make the building foundation themselves, utilizing the best of both worlds.

Truly a hybrid.

“Outer wall Team! Don’t mess up the thickness!”

“Alright! Wall material’s position, ready!”

“Light Team, you got the construction arrangement and ceiling, right?!”

“Let’s begin!!”

…Alright, I don’t even understand what they are saying anymore.

After shining for a bit, a wall rises up from the ground.

They cover it in a light metal that’s similar to aluminium, and so something that looks like a partition for the rooms according to the building design(?) was being created.

The floor had already been finished, and they were not showing a single sign of doing something like waiting for it to dry.

If I had to point out something that piqued my interest, it would be that when the dwarves were walking on top of the floor, they would be wearing cute bunny slippers.

Why rabbit?

Is there no danger with their footing because of those slippers?

“Bunnies!”

One of the children noticed the feet of the dwarves and raised that loud cheer.

“Tomoe, isn’t that dangerous?” (Makoto)

“If it is about their footwear, it is made by Akina, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Putting aside the fact that it is filled with that person’s taste.” (Tomoe)

Ah, the Arke.

That’s an unexpected taste.

Well, if they can handle construction work, the design doesn’t matter, huh.

I should stop thinking too deeply about it.

“First round over! Hey, the Greenhorn team! Hurry with the jewel wool! You are getting time to shine aside from carrying luggage, you know?!”

“Half shift to stuffing! The remaining ones set the materials for the next job!”

““Osu!””

Jewel wool?

The walls and the gaps of the walls were being stuffed with something glittery and shaggy that looks like a blanket.

“Buh!”

“?!!”

Rembrandt-san and Morris-san saw that and were about to spew out, but managed to endure it.

“Tomoe?” (Makoto)

“It seems they got the idea from glass wool. It is apparently a material that’s used for soundproofing and insulation, but that’s like the gem waste after being used as a catalyst in magic that has been manufactured into fibres. We have named it jewel wool.” (Tomoe)

“…Hooh. Then that’s for insulation and soundproofing as well?” (Makoto)

They are putting something like that in the gaps of the walls?

They are being really thorough.

“It also slightly increases magic resistance and physical resistance.” (Tomoe)

“…That’s quite the extravagant material then.” (Makoto)

“It is made from gem waste that’s originally thrown away anyways. In our place we have Shiki, the Arkes, and others who are enthusiastic about the research of magic and doing experiments after all.” (Tomoe)

“Waste, huh.” (Makoto)

“For example, it would be like what you get after you fail enhancing your armor and it is now unusable.” (Tomoe)

“That’s trash. I get it. It is great to see that use has been found for it then.” (Makoto)

That example hurt me on a personal level.

But I now know what kind of item that is pretty well.

It is vexing, but at the same time promising.

“Hah!”

“Ah, Raidou-kun.” (Rembrandt)

“Yes, what is it?” (Makoto)

Rembrandt-san nervously speaks to me.

10 minutes have passed since it began.

They didn’t say anything at all until now, but do they have a question?

If possible, it would be great if it is something I know.

“Is this construction method Kuzunoha Company Style?” (Rembrandt)

“Our dwarves are really enthusiastic in their learning, you see. They took the better parts of doing it directly as craftsmen and the parts where it is better to do it with magic quickly.”

“So it ended with the result of craftsmen using magic to build at high speed? I can’t believe what I am seeing.” (Rembrandt)

“Ahahaa…” (Makoto)

Actually, me too.

I am being shown something completely different from what I imagined.

“I am in awe by this splendid construction department, but I was also surprised by the fact that you have these many dwarves employed.” (Rembrandt)

“Aah, about that…” (Makoto)

“?”

“I have employed a number of dwarf settlements whole. Our construction department is three times bigger than what you see here.” (Makoto)

“T-Three times…huh.” (Rembrandt)

There were quite a lot of people who migrated from Lorel, you see.

With just the people passionate about construction alone, it has already turned into quite the big family.

“The raw materials being used like water for a while now, especially the jewel wool that’s similar to wool, do you plan on selling them as goods in your store?” (Morris)

It is rare for Morris-san to speak.

He is the type of person to just stay silent and just serve as the person to calm down Rembrandt-san when he goes berserk.

“They are currently not on shelves, but…if today serves as publicity for them as construction materials, I think it would be okay to sell them little by little to special customers.” (Makoto)

It is a recycled material from gem waste after all.

If we can sell it, it would be a total win.

Since it is jewels, it depends on the type, but we can get a whole lot of those in Asora anyways.

Certain special gems, we have to wait until they are raised in the ocean first, so I don’t have any intentions of bringing those out to this side though.

If it is in the shape of jewel wool, I don’t mind though.

“For now, let’s have an official contract made later. I will have that jewel wool.” (Rembrandt)

Ooh.

It was sold to the Rembrandt Company.

Maybe I should have gathered more merchants and made it something like a performance?

“Thanks for your patronage! Looks like it has worked as publicity already. Gotta praise the craftsmen too later.” (Makoto)

“…Yeah. You have to treasure them. They are so talented I am at a loss of words.” (Rembrandt)

“Thanks!” (Makoto)

There was no heavy machinery noise like the ones you would usually hear in construction sites.

Instead of that, there’s the shouting of instructions from the chief and the craftsmen that were flying around orderly.

And the building was steadily being made matching their moves and voice.

It is faster than a fast forward.

The comparison is a bit weird to describe, but it is fast.

The interior plumbing is also being arranged steadily and finished.

“Alright! You guys are the best! Waka-sama is watching our work from beginning to end today! We are going to answer that with our fastest and best work! Do you understand?!”

““Bring it on!””

“We are beginning inspection of the first floor! Inspection team, can you do it?!”

“Leave it to us! We will also do the elevator and stairs while at it!”

“Don’t break your back getting too ahead of yourselves, okay?! Alright! Bring the parts for the elevator and the stairs!”

““Osu!””

“Right on schedule! Outer wall scaffold manufacturing preparation! We are beginning the second floor!”

“We can do this!”

The outer walls had stair and ladder-like gimmicks jump out from them.

A number of the dwarves climb up and give the signal. Then, Hanazaki threw the flooring cubes at them.

Catch.

Throw.

Catch.

I was wondering if this method would be enough to construct it in one day, but it looks like it is completely fine.

They have powered up drastically since the time at Rotsgard.

“Flooring deployment, ready!”

The wife of Rembrandt-san and the restaurant chefs arrive.

The third floor began construction.

The children and staff members were bringing in the parts of the furniture, and began to assemble the beds and desks.

They were wearing the rabbit slippers.

There’s no garden in sight, is what I was thinking, and then an extravagant garden was made in the third floor space.

‘A sky garden, huh’, is what I wanted to retort with.

I was invited by Rembrandt-san to have afternoon tea with them, so I tagged along.

It was finished.

Just before evening.

They really did it.

I really had to tip my hat at the craftsmen.

“The same degree of freedom as when requesting from a carpenter, sturdiness that lasts the years, and astounding shortening of time by the use of magic. To think that both magic and science that were said to be antithetic to each other would work so well in conjunction… It is splendid.”

Whether it be making a craftsman into a mage,or a mage into a craftsman, it is by no means easy.

As someone who has seen the studies of this world at Rotsgard, I understand this to a painful extent.

Unless a magic construction study or something like that is established, the hard headed people won’t move. And if they don’t move, the common sense of the world won’t change either.

Rotsgard is the highest academic centre for the hyumans of this world after all.

Their influence is big.

Also, a construction specialist who can also use magic; just how much time would it take to raise such a special talent like that?

If there were such talents, they would be taken away by the large countries promptly.

That’s how treasured of an existence they are.

…There’s actually one such existence in Rotsgard though.

One elite-kun of Lorel that’s in my class.

Izumo who is currently on the highway of happiness.

He has the spirit though. Maybe I should give him an edited memory of this. It might serve as good motivation.

“You would have to settle into that path really adamantly, and there’s no knowing if they could even make it. Tsige has competent raw talents in its adventurers, so I would say there’s no problems in finding the right people though.” (Makoto)

“True! It won’t be easy. It won’t, but…what a vivid light.” (Rembrandt)

Rembrandt-san was looking far into the future, and then slowly closed his eyes.

“Rembrandt-san?” (Makoto)

“I see it, Morris! We can do it. We can do it with this! Tsige will become a one of a kind in this world!” (Rembrandt)

“…Congratulations, Danna-sama.” (Morris)

“You thought I should have been sharing my happiness with you first, didn’t you, Raidou-sama?” (Rembrandt)

“N-No.” (Makoto)

I certainly did think that after I saw Rembrandt-san hugging Morris-san tightly.

His wife giggled and then spoke to me with them at the corner of her eyes.

“When it is about work, he gets like that, as you can see. He goes into his own world. Looks like he has gotten some big revelation.”

“I-Is that so…” (Makoto)

Like a partner, huh.

I don’t have anything like that.

I don’t, but I understand that feeling of his.

“At times, the eyes of a gentleman can see far away to a future that I can’t even begin to imagine. What will he be showing me this time? Fufufu, I am looking forward to it. On the other hand, I cover for him on his footsteps that he now has a narrowed vision on. Division of work.”

“…”

“Anyways, to think you would be able to make a building in just one day, moreover, from take down to completion. Even I as someone who isn’t that interested in construction can tell that I have seen something unbelievable. You have once again increased those unique weapons of yours, Raidou-sama.”

“Thank you. I am glad to hear you enjoyed it.” (Makoto)

“Will you be doing a celebration for the new building later? With me and him there, I don’t think the children can enjoy themselves to their fullest, so…I would like to just send some small gifts at a later date. Is that okay?”

“I am sure everyone would be happy.” (Makoto)

“Well then, Raidou-sama, I will be taking these two men with me.”

“Thanks for your hard work.” (Makoto)

The wife calms down Rembrandt-san as she speaks to the director and the others before leaving.

“I am impressed that that man is trying to replicate this. Not only Echigoya, he is even aiming for the Kinokuniya. He is capable.” (Tomoe)

Tomoe returns to my side.

“…That…” (Makoto)

“…You really help out that man a lot in making him have revelations. If we were to trail its origins, you would be the trigger, Waka, you know?” (Tomoe)

“…What’s that?” (Makoto)

“Good grief, it was good that we increased our personnel with the dwarves of Lorel, right, Waka?” (Tomoe)

“…Oi.” (Makoto)

“He definitely will be coming sometime for advice, you know. He definitely would want to see the surprised face of Waka, so I would say it is okay to look forward to it.” (Tomoe)

“Like this orphanage?” (Makoto)

This even looks like a fortress.

It barely gets the image of an orphanage thanks to the noise of children.

“It is a good dwelling, don’t you think!” (Tomoe)

“I will just consider myself fortunate that I don’t know what was the initial design. Good work, Tomoe.” (Makoto)

“…To think I would receive such joyous words… Don’t worry, this is nothing! We are gonna be making this into a fitting yoseba!” (Tomoe)

Tomoe enters the orphanage in a jolly mood.

The dwarves are still moving around busily, but their work in itself is done.

They are basically doing the clean-up now.

They were dealing with the minute questions and adjustment requests.

“I see. The model room of the Kuzunoha Company’s construction department, huh. I should consult the director later.” (Makoto)

The Weitz Orphanage disassembly, start of the construction, and completion of it, has all been finished today!
