204 New Product

"This is amazing, Kyle. You invented groundbreaking magic."

"Thank you, brother Ars. I didn't think you'd be so happy."

"No, no, no, no. Kyle's [preview] can be magical enough to generate millions of dollars in wealth. Besides, I can't use [preview] on parchment, so I can only use botanical paper made of barca. We're going to start selling paper."

"Maybe you sell it in a book?

I see. Let's make a book. Hopefully, that will stabilize Balka's finances. "

"Hmm, but how much can a book sell? Essentially, books are luxury goods, and only educated nobles and knights can read letters, right? If it sells a little, there won't be any buyers, will there?

"I need to talk to Liina and the old man about that. But maybe we need to dig up the demand. Okay, I have an idea."

"Thoughts? What are you thinking, Mr. Ars?

"Let's use the church. You always talk about God's teachings in the church, don't you? There must have been a book there. Let's mass produce and sell it."

"Sell to church? But isn't that what counts?

"No, it's not. I've been reading that since I was a kid, but there was something difficult about it. Let's make it simpler and easier for farmers who don't remember the letters to read."

"Hmm, peasants. But ordinary people don't even have the money to buy a book. If you don't have to buy a book, you can go to church and listen to me, so you won't buy it, right?

Kyle clashes against my idea.

I guess so.

I've heard before that the Church's Bible is certainly the best-selling book.

Well, unlike the church here, history is different, and just because it is the best book in history, I don't know if it can be sold even if it is mass produced at this stage.

In the meantime, should I think about it as one of my ideas?

But now we have a new product for Balka.

I want you to give up the lack of money and body.

With that expectation in mind, I decided to share this idea with others.

"Alsu-sama, look at this. I've made a new tailor for Mr. Ars. Would you like to wear it once?

"Oh, Lillina. I just wanted to talk to you. Is this clothes? What's wrong with these beautiful, expensive clothes?"

"Fufu, I tried to tailor my clothes using the goat hair that Arus-sama was raising."

"Oh, did you make this from goat hair? It's completely different from a yarn sweater....."

"Yes, I had Gran build a yarn winder. The yarn sweater is warm, but isn't it bad to make clothes out of thin fabrics like this? Perfect for a warm time."

I wanted to ask Lillina for advice on the book, but as soon as I came to Lillina, she showed me her new clothes.

However, even though the clothes used goat hair, they didn't look like yarn, they looked like luxury clothes.

I see. Besides yarn, can you use goat's hair?

"Wow. Even though it has a smooth feel, it is made of solid fabric and is made to suit my body, so even if it fits perfectly, there is no discomfort at all. Did Liliana make this?

"Yes, but I just told the craftsmen what kind of clothes to make. In fact, tailors have migrated to Vulcania."

"A craftsman? Does that mean that someone with the skills originally came?"

"Yes, I heard about Kyle's magic. I was named a leader, but originally I heard about craftsmen. I had an opinion with Clarisse that it would be pretty bad if he showed me his arm directly, so I decided to leave it to tailoring."

I see.

Apparently, Liliner's interest in sewing is becoming more and more like a garment production because she makes it herself.

Perhaps this clothing is something that is common among aristocrats.

Trying to make something like that can cost a lot of money.

Clothes are precious, but it is common for a tailor with arms to use fine fabrics to make them expensive.

But with Balka today, we can produce fine fabrics in our own territory.

I can keep production costs down just for that.

Apparently, there are other clothing designs in Liliner that I have tried to make.

"I don't think this would be a bad idea to meet other knights in the city of Fontana."

"Of course. I tailored it to suit Ars well. No matter where you go, no matter who you meet."

"Well, thank you, Lillina. I'm glad you made something like this. We're going to live in the city of Fontana, so the timing is great. I'm going to turn my mind and try my best."

"Thank you, Ars. I'll continue to tailor something that suits Arus."

"Ah, but make sure you also make the liliner. Yeah, I'll design it for the liner, too. I want you to introduce me to the artisan later."

You can't make your own clothes, but there are many ideas for clothes.

I have as many clothes as I want Liliner to wear.

Well, it would be nice to have a tailor to pull it out.

Until now, I have been going to the city of Fontana wearing the fur of a big pig, so I felt intimidated.

If it was Liliner's clothes, the intimidation would be abandoned and she would look like a cultural person.

And it could sell to other knights.

Following the book, clothing could also be a new product for Balka.

Furthermore, paper making was originally used as a working passage for women who lost their husbands in battle.

Quite a few people have died in this battle.

If you teach me how to tailor clothes, you'll be able to create jobs for the new widows.

So I decided to build a new tailor's workshop and sewing class in Vulcania.
