542 - - 五百四十话 意外なこと

When I asked Nomos to make a bedding to make the Great Spirit of Snow fall, I was told to ask Dolly, not Nomos. I guess it is the role of a spiritualist to judge which spirit to rely on at the time, instead of relying on Nomos for everything. I had a feeling that I could get by relying on nomos, so I think this was a good lesson for me.

"Sewing?　I can do it. I don't really like it, but my mother forced me to learn."

"What? Really?"

I came to see Gina to solve the outer problems before asking Sakura for a favor, but I didn't expect to hit the jackpot on the first try.

My main choice was Mel, a blacksmith who might work with leather, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Gina can sew.

Sylphy was also surprised, muttering to herself next to me that it was a surprise. I know, I don't think Gina can do sewing as a character.

"Master. Your reaction is rude. You didn't think I'd be able to sew, being so crass, did you?

That's exactly right.

"Ha-ha-ha ...... sorry."

I was going to make an excuse, but I was so surprised that it would be hard to cover it up, so I'll just apologize honestly.

"I know I'm not a ruffian either, so it's okay."

"Thank you. But I'm surprised Mr. Pete allowed you to sew, since it looks like a bride's training."

He was the one who even made Gina dress like a man to keep men away from her, so it would be natural for him to get in the way.

"My father was more on my side and was against me doing sewing, but when my mother threatened to make me do it, I couldn't say anything. She's not reliable when it comes down to it, is she?"

I see...they interfered and were beaten to a pulp. Daniela must be going through a lot.

Well, even with Mr. Daniela's strong power, Gina grew up like this, Mr. Pete must have had the guts to fight against Mr. Daniela.

I guess Mr. Pete can't stand against Daniela alone, and Gina's brother seems to be taking Mr. Pete's side along the way.

Well, Mr. Pete was not wrong in his concern. Gina is a pretty girl, and if she is beautifully dressed, it is not surprising that she would receive offers of marriage from people she can't refuse.

However, that's why it was such a surprise for Pete to become a genie magician. .......

"Um, Master..."

"Hmm?　Sara, what's wrong?"

I've been learning to sew since I was a little girl, so I can do it too."

I remember that Sarah was the daughter of a nobleman. So it's not surprising that she learned the tastes of a lady or something like that.

But she is still a child. When did she say when she was a child?　

I'm very curious about it, but I don't want to get into the details because it might remind me of sad things.

"Then, can Gina and Sara help me with this?"

"Oh, sure. It's easier with two than with one.

Yes. I'll do my best.

"Hey, Master. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Hmm?　Marco, what's wrong?"

Don't tell me Marco can sew too?　I'd be pretty surprised if it was.

"Kikka seems to have a talent for sewing too. Can't I just help her?"

Looking at Kikka, Marco is right that she seems to be interested. She's gotten used to us and has brightened up a bit, but not enough to express her own opinions at times like this.

Marco is a great big brother to be aware of his sister's condition.

"Gina, Sara, what do you think?　Can you teach?"

I don't mind, but if Gina or Sara can't teach me, I don't know what I can do.

I think I can teach you what I learned from my teacher.

"I can teach you how to sew, too.

"Then teach Kikka how to sew."

"Yes."

"Okay."

"Kikka, I'm happy for you."

"Yeah. Thank you, big brother.

"So, Master, what are you going to make?"

...... was. Let's see,...... I was going to make a beaded cushion like a big one-person sofa,...... but I was going to use a cat to begin with,...... no, It's a snow leopard.

I don't think it has to be a sofa.

Yeah, a round or square cushion would be fine. It would be more comfortable if it were thicker, so let's make it a cushion that looks like a giant sticky rice cake.

Oh, I'll ask Nomos to check the fabric before I make it, just to be sure. It's a very luxurious cloth, but if it's not suitable for a cushion, we can't use it...

"I'm going to make it in the shape of a rice cake ......, or more like a moon."

You wouldn't know a rice cake if I told you. We should eventually ask Dolly to get us some sticky rice and organize a mochi pounding event.

**

"Master. Are you going to make cushions out of that cloth!"　　

"Huh?　Is it a ...... spoiled ......?"

When I went to show the cloth to Nomos, words like a scream came from Mel, who had been practicing.

I had expected the cloth to be quite good since it had been found among the dungeon treasures, but perhaps it exceeded my expectations.

"No it's not ......, but it's probably a magic cloth. And it is a very fine piece of cloth. It is made of rare threads that are resistant to magic, and it takes years of work by a top magician in collaboration with a top weaver to magically treat each strand. Isn't that right, Mr. Nomos?"

"Yes, indeed, it is a magic cloth."

Sounds like a great piece of cloth.

"I see. So, how is this magic cloth so great?　Is it better than my Koryu equipment?"

I think I got this cloth on the previous floor, so I think the performance of this cloth is better than that of the Koryu equipment.

"...... Huh?　Yes, the magic cloth is a great cloth, but compared to the master's equipment, it can be made by ...... people, and it is a cloth that can be obtained with power and money, while the master's equipment cannot be obtained even if you want to get it... ...Huh?　Is it not that valuable?"

Mel is confused.

But I understand most of it, in short, it's a very, very expensive item that's hard to get unless you're very, very rich and powerful.

When you hear that they make bedding out of them, you can understand why they scream.

Hmmm, it seems a bit wasteful, but to be honest, if I were to make a fuss about money and power level goods, most of the things in my magic bag would be too wasteful to use.

Since we are scouting for the Great Spirit, this kind of investment should not be a problem.

"Nomos. You won't have a problem making bedding out of this, will you?"

Since Mel is being fretted over by Meral and Merrill Serio in her confusion, she decides to leave him alone and asks Nomos a question.

"Mm. "This is from the dungeon, so it should be fine.

"Hmm?　What's the problem if it's not from a dungeon?"

"Mm. When it is made by a person, the characteristics of the person who put the magic power into the cloth will be in the magic cloth. In that case, if you don't like the characteristics of the magic, it will have the opposite effect.

I see, you don't like bedding with a smell that is not to your liking, do you?

"Does it smell good in the dungeon?"

Dungeon items are made of pure magic, so they are odorless.

I am not sure about the pure magic, but it would not disturb the scent of the spirit tree if it was odorless, and the magic cloth was not a bad choice.

There were some other cloths, but I was lucky that the magic cloth was OK, because the other cloths were not suitable for bedding, because they were luminous or smooth like a mirror finish.

I would just have to give the cloths to Gina and the others waiting for me at home, and have Sakura make the beads in the meantime.

"Master, where are your sewing tools?"

...... As expected, there were no sewing tools among the treasures of the labyrinth.

Well, I guess Nomos can make a sewing tool.

******

"Sackler. Come here, I need to talk to you.

As expected, the sewing tools were easily made by Nomos. The magic cloth seemed to be quite strong as it was expensive, and I asked him to make it with Orihalcon to make the work less time-consuming, but the indescribable expression on Mel's face at that time made me feel somewhat sorry.

But I guess he'll have to get used to it if he's my apprentice. I haven't conquered the labyrinth yet, so I have a lot of things in my magic bag that will make Mel's nerves hurt.

"Yuck!"

Sakura comes flying in with a big smile on her face, probably enjoying being called so loudly from afar. I've gotten used to the sight of babies flying into the air.

And Bell and the others are flying toward us after Sakura. Hmm, they seem to be very excited.

They are probably very excited and will cling to us. Even Sylphy, who is usually reliable in this kind of situation, is going to remain still, so it's going to be a long time before we can ask Sakura to do something.

"Yoo-tah!" "Cue!" "What's wrong?" Koo koo""de banka!""" ......""u?""

As expected of a lowly spirit of the wind. In an instant, it overtakes Sakura and comes straight for my face.

"Wapu!"

For some reason, Belle likes to stick it in your face. Well, it doesn't matter because there is almost no impact, but while my vision is blocked by Bell's belly, light impacts hit my body one after another.

The last and lightest shock is Sakura. Her voice sounded like a question, so I guess she was asking me what I wanted.　I guess it's a question like "What do you want to do?

But I can't answer that question right now.

"Um, so I have a little favor to ask Sakura, okay?"

I pet the belles until they are satisfied, and after listening to their stories and finally settling down, I make a request to Sakura.

"Ai!"

I appreciate their cheerful nods, but I am worried that I might be tricked by a bad person in the future. I'll let you know so that you know what you're asking for before responding later.

"I need a lot of beads...... umm, very small round grains. Can you make them from the sap of a spirit tree or a branch that I can drop?"

"Hmm?"

Sakura tilts her head. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's not getting the message.

I don't think I can get the message across even if I try to do so with words alone, so I'll ask Dory to help me out and show her a sample while I explain it to her.

I was planning to make a light cushion and let the Great Spirit of Snow fall easily, but it's going to be a lot harder than I thought.

I don't mean to be rude, but is it worth it for that home guard cat-sama?
