The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 17.2
I feel bad for the emperor, but I want a carriage. This winter, I have to explain about the spirits while constantly going on expeditions along the coastal territory. I don’t mind the cold because I live in a southern region, but the constant swaying in the carriage is too tough on a child’s body.
“This prototype is for the development of a product with a vision for the next five years.”
“Ohh….”
“It also has the meaning of showing that you can do things like this if you cooperate with spirits.”
“I see. It’s good to be specific in explaining about spirits.”
“Ifrit, Liva. There’s something I wanted to ask you. There’s no lightning attribute in magic, right?”
(“That requires another stage of growth.”)
(“Lightning is a complex attribute. It develops after acquiring all four attributes.”)
(“If you have all four attributes, you can develop all kinds of magic.”)
“That’s true. Just being able to turn into a humanoid is not enough for the next stage of growth!”
“Humanoid ?!”
Hey, Glasses, don’t stand up. What kind of attributes do you have ?
“Then one more question. Is there such a thing as space magic ?”
“Yes, there is.”
Woo-hoo ! I did it !! I won !!!
….Then, the next thing I knew, everyone was looking at me with their eyes and mouths wide open as I stood on the sofa and raised my fist.
“Excuse me for the interruption.”
You don’t need to keep the sofa floating forever, just put it back. And everyone, stop frantically looking away. Older brothers, don’t burst into laughter while holding your stomachs.
“This is not the time to be laughing. When it comes to merchants, it’s all about logistics.”
“Oh, come to think of it, if it floats, we can transport fragile items too.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Besides, if you can only move for two hours, why not create a facility where you can change drivers every two hours? You can create a transportation company like that. That’s where space magic comes in !”
“Drivers ?”
“It’s coachmen.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of space magic. What kind of thing is it?”
“What if you can put a whole carriage’s worth of luggage in the pocket of Big Brother Chris’s jacket?”
Alright, the atmosphere has frozen again. Let’s build up immunity so it doesn’t freeze every time. It’s a fantasy, after all. It’s an item bag. If I can use space magic, I might be able to use teleportation magic someday. All of a sudden, things got really exciting! !
(“Dia, only a very limited number of mages can do that.”)
“But what if it’s a box small enough to be carried?”
(“Then, the number of those who can do it would increase.”)
“Even if we reduce the size of the carriage by half.”
(“It can carry more luggage than the original carriage.”)
How about that !?
“This… let’s make it our top priority. First, let’s focus on the logistics business.”
“We have several ports here. This will be a success.”
“Hold on, space magic is still a long way off, right ?”
“You talked about product development planning for the next five years, right? We have to start now, and that includes the training of mages.”
“Let’s begin with our territory first. Things are going exceptionally well for us already. Even if other territories try to imitate the idea, we can just ignore them. For the time being, only Dia and the others will use the carriage outside. Please don’t get ahead of yourselves until we can confirm it with my Father.”
Logistics business as the starting point, huh ? I wanted to create something more glamorous and cute, something that reflects the charm of a girl. But I suppose being practical is a good approach.
“Big Brother Chris, there are people in the central region who acquired spirits even before ten years ago, right ?”
“Yes, it seems they’re in a hurry to raise the spirits.”
“So people over the age of eleven have a spirit, right ?”
“That’s… it seems that quite a few spirits have been neglected and disappeared in the past ten years.”
Well, Kohaku-sama must have been quite upset, considering the circumstances.
“I’d like to request something from everyone !”
As always, I energetically raised my hand and stood up.
“If someone asks who came up with the idea for carriages and the logistics business, please answer that it was a proposal that came out of a discussion among everyone here. It’s fine even if you tell them that my older brothers were the ones who suggested it.”
“I refuse.”
“I don’t want to.”
“If someone asks about me, please answer that I said I want to create delicious sweets and cute clothes.”
Why is everyone making such awkward faces? It’s okay because the members here are already like family, but we can’t let this information leak to others. Don’t forget we have magical contracts.
“Isn’t it okay to spread the word about the prodigy siblings ?”
“I want to spread it gradually. By the time I’m around six years old, it shouldn’t be considered strange, right ?”
“They will say so.
“It would be strange if it wasn’t until adulthood.”
“You’re already known as a unique young lady within the castle.”
“How about blaming everything on the spirits ?”
Why are even the ones who have been quiet until now suddenly talking here ?
“I don’t want to stand out.”
Hey, don’t turn your eyes away with disappointed expressions at the same time !
The year I was five years old was a year of preparation. When the ban on tea parties allowed at the age of six is lifted, it is expected that a large number of invitations will come, but my two maids have only experienced caring for me within my room.
The butler took care of everything else, right? But also serves as a bodyguard. However, there are times when you can’t bring a male butler to a women’s tea party, and Rex has become a full-time member of the company. Moreover, both Dana and Cynthia have boyfriends in the Knights, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they got married at any time. So I decided to hire a female maid who could protect me.
Also, within the next year, I have to choose attendants from among the children close to my age. The children who will become attendants and guards for my two older brothers are already showing up at the castle almost every day. With my attendants added to this, the educational duties will be quite tough. We have to raise them into capable individuals before we reach adulthood.
Our horseless carriage, which is well-known in other territories for changing its appearance every time it’s seen, has gained a reputation as a carriage that brings good luck when encountered. To allow guests visiting our territory in the summer to take a ride while touring the town, we’ve decided to prepare several street carriages and carriages for nobles. It seems that the business will start in two years.
The increase in spirits has caused some minor issues. Instances where spirits get caught in doors or accidents where people trip and get injured due to being startled by spirit beasts have occurred.
Many commoners haven’t been particularly conscious of magic power until now, and as a result, there are cases of people collapsing or vomiting in the streets. Things happen in transitional periods that later become funny stories. Even in Japan, I heard that people who boarded their first train took off their shoes on the platform, and when they got off the train, they made a fuss because they could not find their shoes on the platform.
There’s also preparation for long journeys to visit the residences of other borderland margraves and the Spirit Kings. Both households are getting ready to become spirit beasts soon, so next year is expected to be busy. In the autumn of my fifth year, Big Brother Chris invited me to his study, saying he had something to discuss.
“Would you meet with Andrew ?”
I never thought that Big Brother Chris would ask me to meet the Crown Prince.
