Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraitakedo, Nazeka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken (WN)-Chapter 41: Make a mirror!
Chapter 41: Make a mirror!
The time is midnight.
We were thinking while lying on the bed.
That’s right, it was about the time when Laara used her black magic all dissolving water at the criminal Rayson which is around noon today.
That magic touched the armor and the armor began dissolving and flowed down to the ground in liquid state.
I didn’t oversee it.
“There’s no mistake. That was silver fluid…”
I muttered such.
If that’s so…
“I can probably create a mirror…”
I intensified my belief.
“Master, right now, did you say you can create a mirror!?”
Lucia by chance heard that and raised her voice in surprise.
Damn. Was my voice too loud..?
I thought I was thinking quietly so that I won’t be conspicuous.
“Amazing. To be able to make a mirror!? Certainly making it it’s earth-breakingly important that it can be said it has more value than precious stones! The method for making only the dwarfs know it and their whole country treats as a secret. However the ones they make are out of copper and not of silver which Masatsugu-sama is trying to make. Perhaps making a silver mirror will be the first major achievement in history!”
“Masatsugu-san’s business ability is just too much~ After all, in just one day you repainted the world’s economics map.”
“Truly. I feel like since I met you the development of the world has gone ahead for several hundreds of years. I cannot keep up with you at all.”
The other girls heard Lucia and gave their opinions too.
Umu, all of the girls know about it.
The item is lionized too.
In the first place, making a mirror is not even that hard.
But when I said that the girls shook their heads together.
“I understand Master’s level is too high, but you should recognize your own greatness…”
“That’s right. If you don’t then we’ll lose confidence.”
“Yeah~ Sometimes it’s okay to look at the world.”
“Umu, umu. Then look for me aswell~”
Sigh, you girls are exaggerating. It does not garner so much attention.
More than that, just to be sure I’ll confirm it once more with Laara and Elin.
“You girls, have you heard of silver mirror reaction?”
“S-silver mirror…?”
“What’s that? Somehow it sounds strong?”
But the girls answer was that.
Fumu, as I thought they didn’t know it.
Shouldn’t ask for unreasonable.
Silver mirror reaction is silver-plating technology.
Silver-plating is adding ammonia to melted silver and then mixing it with glucose.
I remember the contents from science even if my memory is not especially good.
So far I understand it.
In the first place what is a mirror?
Mirror is silver-plated glass which reflects light.
In a word, silver mirror reaction on the reverse side of the glass causes the creation of “Mirror.”
There are things a high schooler doesn’t know.
It’s superfluous but the plating technology is a symbol of wealth, basically the upper echelon is often concealing.
I asked Elin who is a elf princess and Laara who is a demon king and both of them are high-society people but they didn’t know about silver-plating technology, which makes me thing with certainty that the technology isn’t spread out.
Naturally, there is a possibility for the classmates that I came together could spread it, but I do not expect such wisdom from them who fight other countries as heroes.
If they were the same, they would help the orphanage, save the world from Calamity Dragon, offer things to the world that it needs, there is a big difference between us.
One can not help but feel the cruelness of the difference between characters and abilities.
I wonder what they will say if I had a chance to guide them a little bit.
Probably, they’ll be so incompetent that they cannot recognize their own foolishness.
While thinking such, I unintentionally worried over the pitiful them.
But, thanks to their imbecility, I was able to guarantee a stable income for the orphanage.
Their low intelligence has been helpful.
That is amusing.
With that reason I declared immediately that I’ll start making mirrors from tomorrow.
Next morning, we gathered in the living room and started preparing for the silver mirror creation.
First is the material supply.
The important ones are silver, ammonia, and glucose.
“Now, first is silver.”
I said that and the girls with gleaming eyes run off somewhere with frightful speed.
I thought that and they came back.
For some reason they were out of breath and appealed as if they were the fastest. What are you girls doing?
They were carrying some flat objects in their hands.
“It’s silver coins. That’s right.”
The girls were smiling and were glad with “I did it!” “Yes!” “It was correct~” “I was helpful.”
It seems that they want to be helpful to me even if it’s a little.
It’s admirably cute.
Straightforwardly they presented their head to me.
I see, within the girls there is a rule if they get it right they receive head pets.
The host hasn’t heard anything about this.
Well it’s fine, I pet their heads with a wry smile on my face.
From the girls mouth happy voices came out.
Sigh, there’s nothing special about petting your heads.
“Now, next is ammonia…”
When I said that I looked at the girls faces. But, this time with serious faces they voiced out “Hmm?”.
It seems, they don’t understand what that is. Well it cannot be helped.
As I was taught in science, urine itself doesn’t have ammonia. Ammonia is created when germs break down urine.
With that frankly saying to produce urine is a bit…
Conveying that to the girls will be a lack of delicacy.
“Probably, a farmer should store it up as compost material, we can get it from there.”
So I conveyed it in obscurity.
“As expected of Master, you truly have extensive knowledge!”
“You’re amazing to have studied agriculture as well!”
“As I thought the application of your knowledge is uncommon~.”
“Do you not have things that you don’t know?”
Is what the girls were saying.
Sigh, applying my knowledge a bit is nothing worthy enough to be praised.
I shrugged my shoulders and continued moving to the next topic.
“The last part is glucose, do you know what it is?”
As I thought they tilted their heads when I asked them
But, Elin seemed like she thought of something.
Pon! She clapped her hands and opened her mouth.
“It’s said to be around grape’s sugar, so there’s a connection between the grapes and sugar.”
She said that and with expectation looked at me.
“Oh, surprisingly sharp. It’s mostly correct.”
“Yay, I did it! I was praised!”
Elin sprouted a lovely smile. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
I petted her head and the smile became bigger.
“Well if we go detailed, sugar in its current form is bad. It doesn’t react without silver fluid nor does it go in plating. To react we need to break down sugar and take out it’s glucose but doing that in this world is probably difficult. So, we’ll use nature’s own natural glucose.”
At my words there were “??????????” floating above the girls heads. As expected this might’ve been a bit too advanced.
Let’s put it in simpler terms.
“The hint is what we ate a while ago. We’ll use that.”
“Honey!!”
The girls thought for a bit and then they answered.
That’s correct. Good remembering that what we ate was hot cake.
In the proccess of a bee collecting honey from a flower a special enzyme is produced. It breaks down the sugar to make glucose.
Honey is nature’s own natural glucose.
With that silver, ammonia and glucose are guaranteed so the prospects are brighter.
Now we can practice making silver mirrors.
That said, there’s a limit of how much we can produce.
I’ll have Laara melt the silver with her dark magic, and outsource the subsequent steps. It is necessary to hide what you are working on, and you have to be careful about who makes it. Moresoever, to some extent mass-produce orders are necessary.
With that said, there should be dwarfs in this country.
However, there should be a lot of reasons they were expelled from the dwarf country.
Though, their skills are certain. Let’s just approach them a bit.
While thinking that, I started making a concrete plan.
