"Hmm, it's no longer a cobblestone road ..."

　I succeeded in creating a new spell called [Hardened Brick Generation].

　The bricks produced by the spell are harder than ever.

　What's more, even if you don't have the fangs of the wild boars or the horns of Valkyries used as materials, you can create Hardened Bricks from the soil just by activating magic.

　Once again, I realize that the convenience of magic is amazing.

　I was considering whether the Hardened Bricks could be applied to other things.

　First of all, I decided to use Hardened Bricks for the spell "Road Creation", which was not completely finished since I need to give it a spell name. 

TLN: Basically copyright/trade mark.

　After trying various things before, I was thinking of trying to make an ancient Roman cobblestone road when I made a road in the future.

　By digging the ground to improve drainage and laying large and small stones, clay, gravel, etc., and making heavy stones in a loose arch shape, a road that can be used for a long period of time can be created.

　I thought about making the road by putting these hard bricks on the bottom and adding stone on top.

　The width of the road will be about 6 meters, and sidewalks will be installed on both sides with a slight steep to raise the height.

　By doing this, the carts that Valkyrie would pull on the middle road would pass, and pedestrians would be able to walk safely on the sidewalk.

　However, when I made it with magic, it turned out to be something that wasn't the cobblestone road I imagined.

　The reason is simple.

　It was hardened bricks that were laid on top.

　Hardened bricks that are as beautiful as marble.

　They're all the same size and tightly packed.

　The road looks like a monolith.

　I think that the stone pavement would be more uneven, but there is no such unevenness here.

　If this is the case, vibration should be reduced even if you are riding in a carriage.

"It's different from the image in my head, but it's okay. This is much better than if it was bumpy."

　It's a little different, but I didn't want to reproduce the ancient Roman roads completely.

　I thought that it would be useful enough, so after inputting the completed road with the magic of [Memory Preservation], I made it a spell name so that it could be made by conditional reflection.

"Ars. The new construction you requested has been completed. Please have a look."

　It was around the time when I finished laying roads on the land inside the walls by making hardened bricks and doing the [Road Creation] spell name.

　Gran came and told me that the building I had requested was completed.

　Gran counted the total number of bricks I prepared and drew drawings many times based on them to think about how to make a big building without waste.

"I see. Is the number of windows increased to save building materials?"

"That's right.  had seen the dust-covered glass in the warehouse before. When I asked Kyle, he said that it was made by Ars but left unsold. Seeing that, I came up with an idea, desu. "

　The building built by Gran was different from the ones that were seen in the city before, which had few windows.

　Almost every room had large windows, fitted with the window panes I had left.

　By the way, I've heard it in my previous life.

　It is said that there is a merit of reducing building materials by making an arch shape when making a building with stones.

　A common arch is a bridge that you set up to cross the river.

　First, build a wooden bridge at the place where you plan to install the bridge.

　The wooden structure is arched, and the stones are lined up according to the arch.

　After arranging the stones from the left and right, finally insert the key stones into the top of the arch.

　By fitting this keystone, a strong bridge that can withstand the weight of people and objects passing through the bridge is completed, even if the original half-timbered part is removed.

　In other words, the merit of arched construction lies in the fact that the building materials that were originally required for the timber frame can be completely omitted and the strength of the structure is increased.

　Bridges are not the only technique that use this arch characteristic to reduce building materials and increase strength.

　Gran used that characteristic a lot in the building he built this time.

　We recognize that entrances, room doors, and windows are shaped like rectangles.

　But what if the doors and windows are not rectangular but semi-circular at the top?

　It becomes a semi-circle, that is, an arch shape.

　By drilling all the holes in the wall that fit the doors and windows in an arch shape, Gran succeeded in reducing building materials and increasing the strength of the building.

"It's amazing. The previous building was an inn, but it feels quite large compared to that. And because there are many windows, the feeling of openness is completely different. This is very good."

"It looks like you liked it, Ars."

"It's great, thank you Gran. I'll pay you a reward as much as you want."

"Thank you. If so, would you please give me the right to build a house?"

"Home? Here?"

"That's right. I want a place where I can live without hesitation, even though I'm traveling, desu. I think that I might see something interesting again near Ars, so I'd like to ask this of you by all means, desu. "

　What should I do?

　In fact, some people are gradually asking me to live in the walled area after having surrounded the land with a wall.

　However, it has not been allowed so far.

　It's because I can only think of this place as basically a living space for Valkyrie and other familiars.

　However, if Gran wants to live, I may allow it.

　I can't really meet people who can make so many things often.

　Thus, Gran was chosen as the first person to have a house on my land.

TLN: Ars going and starting to create a little villiage unknowingly...
