89 New business.

He told Konoe that it was a break, and Lavisuel sat on a sofa in the center of the room. Tells his servant to bring Rasuel and tells Ellen to sit on the sofa. Van and Kai, humanized behind the sofa, were waiting, and Lovell and Ellen sat on the sofa.

"So Ellen, what is this?"

Lavisuel embarked on his interest. The compass I just made was placed in the center of Kotori and the table and prompted. Gadiel, sitting next to her, leaned at what she was doing.

"... This is called a compass. With one foot as a fulcrum, like this ... turn it around ..."

"Oh !?"

Gadiel shouted astonishingly when she performed as before.

"I can draw such a beautiful circle in an instant ..."

"Open the legs of the compass in this way, specify the desired distance, place one foot in the desired location and turn it, and you can circle the same distance from there. Also called a two-legged device. "

"Is this somewhere?"

"Oh, yes.

"Which country is it?"

"I'm sorry. It's a bit of what country it is. I tried to imitate what I heard from people in the human world that there were such useful things in the human world."

"Well ... what is this? What is this black thing? Why can I write with this?"

He told Gaddiel, who was interested in graphite attached to the tip of the compass, that it was similar to charcoal.

"Charcoal? Charcoal?"

"It's not charcoal, to be clear, but it's originally made of the same charcoal. This is a pen that's put on and processed so that it can be rolled out."

When I removed the pen from the compass and showed that it was a pen that I could write on alone, everyone except Ellen had rounded eyes.

"Pen? Is charcoal a pen?"

Laughs at the confused Gadiel. I couldn't make pencils as expected, so I made a drawing pen that could be used by putting the graphite core thicker and harder than the pencil into a special pen shaft. This is magically hardened, but the pencil lead is basically made of graphite and clay.

"What resembles charcoal is that what I wrote with it can be erased with bread?"

"Ah, yes. I can erase it."

Speaking of which, the origin of the eraser was bread. There are various theories, but it is said that the bread to be erased was called "bread" and the bread to eat was called "bread".

His Majesty, who had Konoe bring a piece of paper and was writing something with his graphite pen, was smiling as soon as he said he had found something interesting. Gadiel, who was watching her next door, is sick of trying to try it.

"It's nice to be able to erase what you write, and it also saves paper for ink to get absorbed."

"That's right. If it can be erased, it can be used in various aspects, and this compass can be used in the military."

"Even the spirit wizards will want it. Making a big thing saves you the trouble of drawing a magic circle."

"If it's a big thing, you can have a stick in the center and a rope that connects it."

"So that's it!"

Gadiel is impressed by Ellen's words. His Majesty and others are amused if there is such a hand. Artisans may already be using something with a different name from the compass, but it is unusual because His Majesty does not know the fine tools used by artisans. His Majesty and His Highness were talking about compass and how to use a graphite pen unless he was not. Ellen is convinced that the compass couldn't be sold because he told his Majesty the principle, but graphite could probably be sold. If the pen, which is the mainstay of the royal family, spreads to some extent, it would only be necessary to supply graphite.

"... can this sell?"

When Ellen said he was shaking, His Majesty stopped short. Then they stared at this, and said whether they would sell it.

"Ellen, can I sell it?"

Lovell's worried voice came from the side. And he nodded.

"It's magical now, but it can be made by hand, so I hope it's a Vanclift business."

"What is it? Can it be made?"

"... I can't teach you how to make it."

"That's probably right……"

Naturally, he didn't give up on the drug. However, if it can be made by human hands, it will gradually spread to the human world mainly in this country. Ellen thought that the range of business would increase because not only graphite but also chalk with clay, flour, egg shells and shells, and pastel with pigment and gelatin could be made. Since this area relied on memories created and played in elementary school free research, it would be a trial and error with craftsmen again.

"Ellen, are you planning something again?"

Lovell notices as he looks through his head and calls out.

"No, nothing?"

When I returned, Lovell was sighing. Also, when something involving the territory begins, it may have been a premonition.

Exactly then, his servant brought Rasuel.

"Your Majesty is calling you ..."

Ellen was surprised to see Rasuel enter the room and bow. The appearance of Rasuel, who will be 15 this year, was also far from his past memories. Although she is not as tall as Gadiel, she feels like a grown-up man with a gentle look and a self-reliant thought. In this world, he was an adult at the age of 16, so there was a vivid atmosphere just before he became an adult.

"Eh, Ellen !?"

Rasuel noticed and responded the same way as Gadiel. As I approached here by a quick walk, Kai oversaw Ellen immediately.

"Please wait. Please stop approaching Ellen any longer."

"Ah……"

It may have been easy to forget the existence of the curse after a few years of resumption. Rasuel instantly depressed, and Ellen felt sorry. Immediately, Rasuel looked up and smiled at Ellen.

"Is it okay to say hello to Ellen?"

"I don't care, because Gadiel called you wanting to see Ellen."

"Is that so? Thank you, brother."

"Disagreeable……"

With Gadiel looking a bit complicated, Rasuel looked down and bowed.

"e……?"

"A few years ago that day, we learned of the past royal interactions with spirits."

“…………”

"We talked to His Majesty and his brother. Why couldn't we contract with the spirits ... It would be natural if our ancestors did that. I'm trying to do that, and this is the case, we royals are always annoying to you. "

Rasuel's words were not directly, but could be expressed as an apology on behalf of the royal family. The sacrifice of the old spirits and the incident involving the Van Clais family have caused trouble both before and now. From those words, I heard that she was also listening to Amiel's work.

Rasuel's words were also obtained from Gadiel. Ellen was listening to their apology every year behind the monument.

"... I was hearing all the time. Your voice. Behind the monument ... I was listening all the time."

"e……?"

"Ellen, behind the monument ..."

"I'm not behind the monument. A different place through it. I've been listening all the time between the human and spiritual worlds."

Ellen said honestly that he would no longer hide.

"Your feelings are transmitted, but I can't do anything. For the spirits, the sorrow at that time is as vivid as yesterday. I want to release the spirits of the bound spirits, The Queens don't want it ... "

I wasn't sorry. The power of the newly awakened is not enough and the curse of the royal family cannot be released. And if they did so without consulting the spirits, they could anger the spirits and the royal family of Tenbar would no longer be safe. The spirits have not yet forgiven the royal family.

"No, I don't want to forgive me."

Elvis smiles, as Lavisuel said. The idea that even curses would be used as weapons. If you can't afford the power of the spirit, use it as a retreat. Now Lavisuel's words here lighten Ellen's feelings.

Some things cannot be transferred to each other. You notice each other not just by words but by your eyes. When the story was over, the room was wrapped up in nature and silence, and His Majesty sat Rasuel standing still. Kai, who had been watching it, came back and waited in the first position.

Looking for something to change the heavier air, Rasuel finds something on the table. And Rasuel is also curiously observing the compass and graphite pen.

Ellen watched and smiled at the reaction.
