Chapter 52 – Building conditions

 I want to praise the former me who made the spell [Meditation].

 It's because of that magic that I can get rid of any fatigue if I sleep overnight.

 It was only with the existence of that magic that I could act with the craftsman, Gran.

 Otherwise I might have died from overworking from an early age.

"Finally, the leather armor is complete ... I'm tired ..."

"Well, we made something wonderful, desu. However, I think that Baito-dono is still in his growth spurt age and this will soon become unusable."

"It's okay. If he grows out of it, I can just use it."

 I decided to make leather armor, but there was one problem.

 It's about size.

 The fur of a large wild boar is tanned with the Mana Recovery Medicine (that tastes like shiitake tea) and processed into leather to make armor.

 However, there was a problem— that my body was a little too small to make the armor specifically for me.

 Once you cut the leather into smaller sizes, you can't make it any bigger.

 Therefore, I decided to make leather armor for my older brother, who is bigger than me, instead of me.

 For some reason, the existence of Baito-nii who has other people successfully allocate land-work is a big presence, and it is also a small bonus for him. 

(TLN: As in bonuses you get from work or stuff.)

 We measured each dimension of his body and make the armor exclusively for niisan.

 However, my older brother, who is a part-time worker, is still growing in height, and if the size is too close to his actual size, the armor may not fit after a while.

 Therefore, I made it larger and made it so that I could make some adjustments for each part.

 If this is the case, I will be able to use it as a hand-me-down when my older brother can't wear it anymore.

"It's been fun every day since I came to Ars. Now, Ars, what are you going to make next?"

"Why moving onto anothee project so quick? I don't feel like making things."

"That's a troublesome thing. Ars intends to take away the fun from me, desu."

"If you say so then please tell me how to make a product that sells to the people who work at home."

"Hmm. I'm still going to be here for the time being, so that's okay, but I always want to make new things."

"Hmm, that's right. Then how about this?"

 If you want to make things that much, there was something I wanted you to try.

 It's something I can't make well.

 And maybe it was a buuld that could satisfy Gran's creativity to some extent.

"Here is the bricks I prepared. I want you to make a building using these bricks. However, it is a condition that you must never exceed the number of bricks here."

 The manufacturing I proposed to Gran was not weapons or armor, but building.

 Gran was very versatile and knowledgeable about medicine as well as armor.

 If so, I thought he might have some knowledge about architecture.

 And I decided to put some conditions on the crafting.

 The condition is a limit on the number of bricks used.

 The upper limit is the same as the total number of bricks I needed when I magically reproduced the inn.

 When I try to magically create a building that I imagined in my head, it consumes magical power in proportion to the volume including the entire internal space of that building.

 Therefore, it is not possible to make a very large building with just the image.

 However, I once used magic to build an inn in another way.

 It was realized by examining the actual inn with magical power and completely grasping the structure.

 If you can accurately grasp the shape of the building you want to make with magical power, you can build with the amount of magical power consumed by the amount of building materials, not the volume.

 In other words, to put it the other way around, the number of successful constructions I can make is about the same as the total number of bricks currently used in a two-story inn.

 So I decided to hand over that number of bricks to Gran and have him build a new building.

 If Gran can build a good building, I will [Remember]* it with magical power.


(TLN*: [Remember] was introduced when Ars learned magic from the priest's book as he was getting named, I believe. I might have called it another name, though. I'll get solid names for spells spon enough.)

 That way, the building can be recreated anytime and any number of times in the future.

"Can you do it? Let me tell you, use bricks as efficiently as possible to make it a spacious building. Tofu architecture* is out of the question."

TLN*: Easily destroyed stuff.

"I see, it's okay to have the building built conditionally. It's an interesting request. It's a simple condition that makes it a showcase for ideas. Normally, you can use as many bricks as you like, for how big and luxurious it is. I'm afraid I'm thinking about building a mansion. "

"I don't need such a big building for now."

"I'm sorry to ask you a question, but is it that only bricks can be used, desu?"

"You can use mortar to fix the bricks together. Oh, I just want you to make it like something that people live in."

"I will accept this challenge from Ars-kun. I will get to making it right away, desu!"

 In this way, Gran received my order and started building.
