Brosa
(1)
Three months have
passed since the reform of magic engineering.
By now, not only the
Chief Mages but also the intermediate mages have grasped the basics.
They have reached a
level where it is feasible to start actual projects using Magnesium.
- Magnesium material
reinforcement.
- Enhancement of magic
stone efficiency in Magnesium plates
And through the
inspiration given by Dolores, a new issue was discovered.
- Magnesium
reinforcement: resistance to elemental attacks.
Since Magnesium would
be mainly used for armors, it was essential to increase resistance to elemental
magic.
'This falls under the
enchantment area, so it shouldn't be difficult.'
He would distribute
related research to newly created magic engineering teams.
'It's faster to conduct
research in reality than in the game.'
Usually, only one
research could be conducted due to the lack of mages, but Reed had more than
100 mages.
So, by entrusting the
projects to them, they could achieve multiple research results at once, even if
the speed was slow.
"Phoebe."
"Yes!"
Phoebe came over with a
smile.
"Please distribute
these research tasks accordingly. And tell those participating in this research
that they'll be rewarded with bonus pay based on their performance."
"Bonus pay... are
you sure?"
Phoebe seemed
dissatisfied.
"Ah, let them know
they'll be considered for promotion as well."
"Eh? Promotion,
too? There would be a lot of competition within the tower..."
'Did I go too far this
time?'
Well, it didn't matter.
Wouldn't it be
enjoyable to work extra hard if there were sweet rewards?
"Just relay that
to them."
"Understood~"
Phoebe took the
documents and went outside. As soon as she left, her dragged-out voice was
heard.
"Oh, Miss, what
brings you here?"
It seemed Rosaria had
come.
Soon, Rosaria's cheerful
voice was heard.
"I came to show
this to Papa!"
"Ah, don't bother
the Tower Master, Miss."
"But I have to
show this to Papa!"
"What is it? Oh,
that's so pretty! Is it me?"
"Yeah! It's
Phoebe!"
"It's so lovely.
Our Miss is so talented~."
'I feel like their
conversation is making them forget the main purpose?'
Reed yelled towards the
door.
"Stop chatting out
there and let her in."
"Ah, yes!"
Phoebe, startled,
opened the door and let Rosaria in.
A small angel with
white hair and red eyes came running towards him, holding a drawing.
"Papa, I drew a
picture!"
"You drew a
picture?"
"Yeah!"
"Let me see!"
Rosaria came to his
side and showed him the drawing.
It was a pure and naive
drawing that looked exactly like something a 7-year-old would draw.
She began to explain
each figure.
"This is me, Papa,
Phoebe, and Dolores!"
They were all made of
circles and stick figures, but Reed could tell who was who.
Phoebe had half-closed
eyes and a smiling face, and Dolores had sparkling blue eyes and shimmering
hair.
The most discordant
figure was Reed's.
Perhaps because it was
his own face, the gray-haired figure with a wide grin looked quite distant from
him.
Reed looked at the
drawing and looked at Rosaria.
She looked as proud as
if she had produced a masterpiece.
"It's great."
"Yeah!"
Watching her puff out
her chest, Reed couldn't help but smile.
While she was there, he
checked her stats through「Talent Appraisal」.

Her 'Purity' level was
gradually decreasing, and the Lawful alignment settled in.
It meant that she now
understood the importance of rules.
Reed's intervention
must have had an impact on her alignment.
'Whether it's good or
evil depends on what she does next....'
As for whether it's
good or evil, it doesn't matter.
As long as she can
uphold her own beliefs, Reed was prepared to accept her choices regardless of
what they were.
'Rather, it's strange.'
Her stats had changed
as Dolores consistently helped her study, and after not much time, the 'Magic
Studies' stat was created.
It meant that Dolores
was able to accurately address what Rosaria didn't understand.
Only a genius can truly
understand another genius.
Reed was grateful to
Dolores.
'Should I give her a
gift later?'
Although she said it
was just a hobby, it has been a great help to him.
Even if Rosaria later
decided to go under the Tower Master of Wallin, Reed wouldn't have any
lingering regrets since she had already played the roles of a friend, mentor,
and sister.
'Yeah, let's give her a
gift.'
If possible, something
that women would like.
As he thought that,
Phoebe's voice came across.
- Sir Tower Master!
He hears Phoebe's voice
through a distant communication spell.
Reed asked her mentally
so that Rosaria wouldn't hear.
- What's the matter?
- The Tower Master of
Black Sky is here
- Black Sky?
- What should we do?
'Why did the Tower
Master of Black Sky come here?'
Reed was puzzled and
told Phoebe.
- Guide her to the
reception room. Tell her I'll be down in 10 minutes.
- Yes!
To meet with Freesia,
he needed some preparation.
Reed took the drawing
from Rosaria.
"Very well drawn.
Is it okay if I frame this and decorate it?"
"Really?"
"Of course! It's
my daughter's first drawing, so of course, it can be framed! I want to hang it
on the wall."
"Okay! I'll give
it to you!"
Rosaria nodded.
"Now I have to
work, so why don't you go back?"
"Okay. Papa,
fighting!"
With her balled-up fist raised as an awkward cheer, she exited the room.
