I Was Reincarnated as a Commoner. I Can’t Stand Living Like This, so I’ll Become an Aristocrat! C119

119, report to Richard. 

When I returned to the mansion, Richard-sama had already returned, which was unusual. So, Lucien and I decided to visit Richard-sama's room and report. 

There's still more than an hour until dinner, so there's plenty of time. 

"It's rare for the two of us to talk, but what happened?"

"Grandfather. Today at the magic tool research group, we succeeded in creating a Purification magic tool."

When Lucien said that, Richard-sama seemed quite surprised and froze. 

"What...I knew they were researching it, but I never expected it to be successful. It was researched for decades, but in the end it didn't work..."

"Actually, I have developed a method to further increase the magic efficiency of magic tools, and by using that method, Purification's magic tools have become practical."

“Were you able to further increase the magical power efficiency of the magic tool? Is this a method that can be applied to all attribute magic?”

"Yes. We still need to verify various things, but we have confirmed that it can be applied to other attributes as well. However, we haven't found anyone with earth or wind attributes, so we haven't been able to verify it yet. Today, Marcel-dono... I came to the study group, but I was told that I should first make a report before proceeding with the verification, so I reported it to your grandfather.Stefan and Martine have reported to His Majesty. Masu"

There are a lot of people with recovery attributes in the magic tool research group, and there aren't many people with other attributes. Generally speaking, it should have the least amount of recovery attributes, but this is an unusual research group. 

"I see... I'm grateful that you reported it to me. I haven't seen the actual product yet, so I don't know much about it, but I think it's best to avoid disclosing it to the public. How much will the magic efficiency increase?"

"Purification's magic tools were over ten times more effective, but there were some that were even more effective in other attributes. Fire attributes were about twenty times more effective."

“Twenty times more!?”

Richard-sama shouted and got up from the sofa. Is it really that surprising...well, it is. I can now use 20 times more magic than before. If you think about it that way, you might have made something pretty bad. 

“Is that true!?”

"Yes. However, it is still being verified, so there is a possibility that it will go up even more."

"I-I see... more..."

This time, Richard muttered and sat down helplessly on the sofa. 

Was it that shocking? We were so happy that we finally succeeded that we didn't think about how great it was objectively. 

"For now, can you make it for me right now? The magic stones and magic iron can be prepared right away."

"I don't have much magic power anymore, but Leon can make it."

Lucien declared and looked at me. Lucien, you think my magical power is limitless. There's a chance that my magical power will run out. Well, it's still okay for now. 

"Yes. I still have enough magic power, so I can make it."

“Then try making it.”

After saying that, Richard-sama called his servant who had been removed from his seat and prepared magic stones and magic iron. It's always strange to me, but do magic stones and magic iron always exist in this mansion? 

Well, since he's a duke and the prime minister, it might be fine to keep it on hand, but it doesn't seem like anyone has a hobby of making magic tools. 

“Then, Leon-kun, would you please try making it?”

"I got it"

From there, I explained how it was made while actually creating it. It's not that difficult to make, so it's ready in no time. 

“This works like a single magic stone.Currently, there are five magic stones, but by increasing or decreasing this number and verifying it, we may be able to improve its effectiveness.”

While saying that, I handed the magic stone to Richard-sama. 

"You came up with this very well. It's a really wonderful technique that increases the magical power efficiency by 20 times. However, there will also be negative effects from spreading this. Are you two aware of that?"

"Yes. I heard from Marcel-dono. Will it be easier to destroy evidence of crimes, or will there be more casualties in wars and other conflicts?"

"That's right. You can think of many things just by thinking about it. Of course, there are many benefits. If the Purification magic tool is put into practical use, it will greatly improve the treatment of sewage and non-flammable garbage. It will be easier. Not only that, but the benefit of reducing the frequency of magic power replenishment for various magic tools is also quite large from a convenience standpoint.''

　That's the advantage after all. 

"However, you will have to consider the disadvantages as well. The biggest problem is that offensive magic tools are created and used in battles. However, magic stones and magic iron are managed by the royal family. Considering that, it can be considered an advantageous technology for the royal family.''

I guess that's what happens after all. This kind of thing is quite advantageous if you have the materials in hand. But I guess that doesn't mean there's no way for the other party to obtain it. You can also remake the magic tools you currently have. Magic tools are something that can be bought normally among aristocrats. 

``As for destroying evidence of crimes, purification has been used to erase poison.If it's a really small amount of poison, someone with a lot of magical power can erase it.Therefore, regarding this... It won’t be that different from before.”

Having said that, Richard-sama seemed to be gathering his thoughts in his head and was deep in thought. I guess they're thinking about whether it's okay to spread this technology. 

I was thinking about poison while Richard-sama was deep in thought. I'm thinking of trying to see if I can remove the poison with recovery magic, but I haven't tried it yet. 

Because in order to see if the poison can be cured, you have to eat the poison yourself. I just couldn't help but feel depressed and put it off. Even a weak poison that would upset your stomach would probably be painful... 

 ……that. But the sterilization magic tool was able to remove the bacteria from the eggs, right? If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to remove the poison before eating it? Or rather, aren't bacteria and poison almost the same? 

I wonder why I didn't notice...From now on, before I eat anything, I'll try to use healing attribute magic. You don't have to be afraid of being poisoned anymore! 

Can you make magic tools too? Sterilizing magic tools have poor magic efficiency, so they couldn't be made without limiting their use. However, if you use the technology of connecting magic stones, you can create a magic tool for sterilization that removes anything that has a negative impact on the human body. 

And that magic tool probably removes poison as well...I wonder why I didn't notice it until now. 

I think I'll make this magic tool and give it to Richard-sama and Alexis-sama. There will probably be a poison detector, but if you use magic tools on top of that, it should be safer. 

Then, when I gathered my thoughts and looked up, Richard-sama seemed to be staring at me, and my eyes snapped open to my eyes. 

　Hmm...maybe you were waiting for me! ? 

"Um, were you waiting for me? I'm sorry..."

"No, it's fine, but what were you seriously thinking about?"

“From the talk about poison earlier, I remembered the magic that removes poison...Maybe we can create a magic tool that removes poison.”

"Another new information..."

Richard-sama said that and looked a little far away. I put too much of a burden on Richard...I'm sorry, Richard!
