The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

... that's when the season falls.

The village became a town.

"... you've made a splendid choice. And around here."

I see. No, I'm glad our territory is flourishing. I knew it. "

Yeah. I'm glad to see Red Gard's descendants are happy. The forest is also happy to be repaid, and my best friend seems happy, so am I. And after all, when I saw people around the forest looking happy, this forest was also happy, and I was happy.

It's not a village anymore, it's a town.

On the east side is the agricultural zone. They make crops, and then they sell them. Crop sales are paid in full to the Redgard family, especially here, where there is a lot of direct interaction with the Redgard family. Faye and Faye's brother and father are now completely familiar with the farmers. They're not going to leave it up to you, they're coming straight for the money.

When Fay came to get the money, Faye and the others heard about the grievances in the agricultural district. And I think that's why this district is getting better.

To the north is the commercial district. It's a neighborhood where there are various shops and deals in goods. The shop that started at the beginning of the summer has also been completely completed, and a variety of items, including clothing, groceries, processed goods, and entertainment items, have been handled. It's like a town.

To the west is the industrial district.... but I'm not so industrialized. My imaginary industries, in other words, they handle machines, but industries in this world are mainly food processing, weaving, and so on. There aren't many types of machines in this world. It may be because of the magic.

And this time, there was a sudden increase in people on the south side. This is the residential area. There are many people living there.

People live while working in commercial districts in the north and industrial districts in the west.... there was a lot of confusion because of the sudden increase in immigration, but for now it's settled down. With the Knights of the Forest around to arbitrate, this town is truly peaceful, even if there is a little trouble.

"I guess it would have been better if it had been separated by a wall. Everything surrounded by walls has evolved to be buried..."

The walls surrounding the forest, the walls surrounding the city, and the doughnut-shaped land separated between them are now becoming more and more towns. Somehow, by separating 'this is the town from here' by a wall, it began to develop without hesitation. It's kind of interesting.

... that's how many more people are there, in the meantime.

"Welcome. How about a forest souvenir, a forest specialty, and a leaf pie?... ah, it's not corn. And Fei-sama. What's wrong with you today? Can I get you something? Or do you want to eat?

The fairy confectionery shop is still in full bloom today.

"Uh, I'm going to eat.... ah, but I guess I'll be busy."

"It's okay. Serving the corn will be miscellaneous. Yes, two people, oh no."

Lyla moves around and takes me to the cafe next to the confectionery shop. I'll have the end of the outdoor seat on the wooden deck of your chocolate cake building.

... I like this seat. However, the mysterious rumor of "seats that make you happy when you sit" seems to be spreading, and there is always someone sitting in this seat except for the time when I come. But I always have free time to come. Strangely enough...

"Tell the fairy when you've decided to order. The fairies are coming. Okay, corn. Fay, take your time."

"Thank you.... uh, ah. Are you making a new cake?"

"Yeah, I'm here to eat this."

What I ask of fairies is the cake and chestnut flavour of mellow cream.

In autumn, new cakes like sweet potatoes, chestnuts, grapes and apples are emerging. I was looking at the confectionery shop from the forest with the eyes of the spirits, and it seemed so delicious, so I came out of the forest for the first time in a little while as Fei arrived.

"Wow, I'm an apple pie. With ice cream."

Fai also decided to order, and the fairy vigorously saluted and flew away with a laughing noise.... and bring me a set of cakes and tea right away. Thank you very much.

We quickly follow the cake... and look at the two pieces of paper Faye gave us on the desk.

"So, this. What do you think?"

"... yeah. It's exquisite."

The two pieces of paper Faye gave me... one is the original. And the other one... is a copy.

"I've refined my magic drawings a little bit. So, you're right. You can only use one color, but, well, a book or a document is enough, right?

"Yeah. Wow. This is amazing."

What Faye did, I mean, copy. You put the ink on another piece of paper, just like the ink on the original document, and you make two things that look exactly the same.

"It would be perfect if I could use this later. Well, it's magic that I can use, so I think it could be used by anyone."

"Ah, I'm going to spread it."

"Wow, if this gets popular, it'll be more convenient for everyone, right?

... Fay is amazing. In these times, I think Faye is a nobleman. It seems noble that the idea comes out right away for everyone.

"... Red Gard territory is a nice territory."

"Hmm? What's wrong? Suddenly"

Yeah. Fei and the others are good lords.

The next day.

"I knew you needed talent to write magic books..."

"Yeah...."

Faye is caking in a fairy cafe while she is soaking up. Today I am the mousse of the grape. Fay is sweet tart.

"It's incredibly difficult to explain this magic to everyone like this... Even magic paintings depend on your senses, right?

"Yeah."

Neither I nor Lyla thought of anything difficult, but for the time being, "Move the paint as imagined! I only think about it." Because magic is a means, not an end.

"That's right... ah, magic itself is in the first place sensory and verbal. I wish it had been a book more properly... and I wouldn't be able to find any of those books..."

"Mmm...."

Somehow, it's very difficult. This world is magical, but if you ask me, I certainly haven't seen so much magic in this world.

I don't see magic because it's in the woods, but more than that, it's because magic isn't used very much. That's why magic isn't used very much, because it's not widespread... Mm-hmm.

"If you're going to light a fire or purify water, magic has been around for a long time, and it's so easy that even children can teach their parents to wear it. But beyond that, it's a hobby and a world of study."

"Speaking of which, this world book is really expensive..."

I was a little surprised to find myself in a bookstore in the town of Redgard. Books are expensive. Wow. Picture books were like prints, and they were still affordable, but thick technical books were really expensive.

... and drawings. It was an unbelievable price. Yeah. I've been getting Atlases for the Red Gard family portrait, but that's really what the Atlas cost!

"In order to spread the word to millions of other people, we have to start looking for the ink that suits us."

Uh-huh. The problem is piled up.

"... and normally, like Corn and I did, I can't do it with a lot of magic stone paint."

"Mmm...."

I can put out jewelry, so I can put out paint. But other people don't either....

"I've been experimenting with my own blood, but there's still a limit..."

"Yeah... does that make you anaemic?

"Become. It's getting a little worse."

Wow. I'm going to do a pretty good job with Faye... In the meantime, let's draw and heal the cut on the inside of Faye's arm. I can't heal the blood, but I can heal the wound.

As for blood... uh, do you eat spinach or something?

"... so I want ink that anyone can use. Something come up, huh?

"Hmm...."

That's what Faye said and asked me...

"... the magic difference is so much harder."

Me and Lyla have very different paints to use. The paint just right for Lyla is too light for me, and the paint just right for me is too heavy for Lyla to move. That's why it's so hard to paint just right for everyone.

"Well, that's right... Yeah, they all have different qualities and amounts of magic."

Yeah, Faye's warm, but Claire's cool. Laocles is hard. Celeste's brothers and sisters are clear and soft and light. Lyla feels a little tight and tingling. Like that, they all have too different magic powers. That's why it's so hard to use ink that everyone can use.

"... well, no. I'll pick up some materials and go back and try again."

"Oh, you've been picking up leaves and dirt lately?

Recently, Fei took home dirt, leaves, tree nuts and so on around here, so I thought of something. I see. It was meant to be an ink ingredient.... can't it be done with the dirt in Faye's garden?

"Oh, it's magical land around here. It's not just dirt. You know why the crops in this town grow so well!

Ah, yes...

... after Faye left, I was still thinking about it at night.

Everyone can use ink. With that, everyone can do things like printing. I do think it's very convenient.... I don't know what kind of demand there is in this world, but at least I can print monochrome, so books are cheaper.

It would be much cheaper than copying letters into a book. I'm sure that's a good thing. The teacher said that when books come out, people can realize that they are different creatures from others.

That's why I hope there will be a lot of books in this town. It would be great if a town library or something could be built.

"Ink that anyone can use...."

I also tried writing with my own blood.... ah. I can definitely write letters in the magic drawing guidelines. Yeah, this is handy. Next time, I'll try writing a magic letter instead of a handwritten one. No, the letters written in blood on the boulder will be scary, so I will use proper ink.

... it was easier to write in magic than to draw. Perhaps the image of the text is clear in my head, so I think it's easy to write. Sure enough, this could be magic for anyone. At least if you can write letters, you can use this magic.

That's why I want this invention that Fei found to come out to the world, and even if it's not, I want to take care of it...

... but it's hard to develop things. How can I make ink that can be used by anyone?

I've thought about it again, but nothing comes to mind. [M] A little disappointed in myself, I gave up and decided to go to bed. [M]

Turn off the magic lamp and go to sleep. Good night...
