This magic birthday was held as an opportunity to spread demonic props to the people. Though it is primarily addressed to the people, some of those who take to the festival are wealthy merchants and aristocrats.
There are shops open for such wealthy people. That was to be chosen this time as a visiting destination with Emperor Lukeheim.
It seems that the Chamber of Commerce, which is also my first trip, has grown rapidly in recent times, and I was chosen for this inspection. When I got off the carriage and stepped into the store, I accidentally zeroed my breath of admiration.
Because the demonic items arranged in the store at first glance looked like beautifully decorated interiors that didnât seem like demonic items. Looks like I wasnât the only one with that sentiment, but Emperor Lukeheim was the same.
âIs this the magic prop? At first glance, it only looks like an interiorâŚâ
âYes, Your Majesty, Emperor Lukeheim. This is a demonic prop that is supposed to be used indoors. Craftsmen have devised a design that works as an interior, not to mention as a magic tool.â
âHmm. Whatâs with the box like this little windmill?
âThis one is namedâ Windmill Box â. Originally, a windmill is one that spins under the power of the wind, but this product can cause wind by using the demon stone of the wind. We aim to circulate indoor air and create a comfortable indoorâ
âHmm⌠is this windmill turning slowly rotating the finishing of the outer edge of the windmill as well? This is fun to watch.â
A windmill box, that was like a windmill built into a box. Itâs from an application used to spit out the wind with the demonic stone of the wind, reminiscent of a circulator from a previous life.
When the windmill turns, the outer edge of the frame that holds the windmill rotates together to show a beautiful movement. This is going to look great even if I keep it as an interior.
âWhile some craftsmanship is easy for the civilian population for the sole purpose of use, this product is created by craftsmen using magic props so that it looks good even when used by millionaires and nobles.â
âHmm, a wind-breathing box⌠sounds like a treasure when the sun gets strongerâ
âYes, in the Kingdom of Palletia the humidity will also be stronger during the rainy season, so it will be created from the desire to wipe out some of those damp air. Itâs a little smaller, and weâre working on something thatâs portable and portable.â
âIâm glad to hear that! It would be delightful if there was a time to work in flames!
I also get mixed up in conversations with the shopkeeper who was explaining to Emperor Lukeheim with excitement.
âStore owner, can you introduce me to what other magic props there are?â
âYes, do as you say.â
In response to Emperor Lukeheimâs request, the manager gave us an explanation of the magic props that were arranged in the store.
The demonic props introduced stimulate my memories of my previous life. Because there was something that reminded me of tools that existed as a matter of course in my previous life, or something very similar.
For example, something that is inseparable when cut from a life reminiscent of a refrigerator or stove. This has been developed since the early days of the spread of magic, and now something that has expanded its functionality is competing between us and the craftsmen.
Something like a typewriter made by applying an instrumentâs keyboard, for example. Originally made by Halfis to make paperwork easier, but now itâs spreading among merchants.
There are many other portable stoves, as well as tools like the convenient tools of previous life that have become even more convenient. I think it is significant that the development of these tools still had requests from knights and adventurers heading for the expedition.
Nearly two years have passed since I myself began to refrain from producing demonic props directly. In the meantime my cheeks unwittingly loosen to the reality that even if I hadnât gotten my hands on it, all this magic props were being made.
âHmm, thisâ refrigerator box âis good⌠if you can carry some cooled liquor to the kinks outside, youâll enjoy eating outdoorsâŚâ
ââ Some portable furnaces save you the trouble of starting a fire⌠I want to take this back to the Empire⌠Iâd rather keep it for personal use⌠â
âNot bad, no, rather good! Fall! Damn, Iâm dying to drink barley as soon as I canâŚâŚ!
â⌠cold barley liquor in a kink⌠good for storing and carrying if youâre stuffed with intestinal meat or somethingâŚâ
âPrincess Anisphere! You understand me!
âIf you drink indoors, you can also have a drink in front of the windmill box on a hot dayâŚâ
âMmm! No more, Princess Anisphere! Heâs the one who comes out of the salivaâŚ!
The barley came up on the subject, so I ate it. Wine is the mainstream thing in the Kingdom of Palettia, but I really prefer barleyâŚâŚ! But not so much barley wine is produced in the Kingdom of Palettia.
I have heard that there are areas within the territory of the Aylene Empire where barley liquor thrives and is widely distributed within the Empire. Oh, good, youâre not that good at alcohol, but you make me want to drink barleyâŚ!
Drinking alcohol outdoors seems fun if you have all these easy to carry toolsâŚâŚ! Damn, I would have done it if it was still a mild timeâŚâŚ!
âMmmmâŚ! But the price is also quite high⌠youâre talking about this being only a decorated product for the aristocrats and other millionaires. You mean some of them are traded cheaperâŚâ
âYeah, this is only one dish that looks great and elaborate. Even the same magic props are divided between those that are just for use and those that you also enjoy seeing and producing. The employment of the craftsmen has also been enlivened, and I thank Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the King.â
The manager says, grinning gently as he rubs his hands.
You donât have to elaborate the decorations if youâre just going to mass produce magic props. But it turns out that the special feeling of being different from the others is also part of the wealth that people with money pride themselves on, and it also leads to the expansion of the work of the craftsmen.
Craftsmen who can elaborate decorations will be asked for luxury goods, and craftsmen who are suited to mass production, which prioritizes functions only, will be for civilians. In that way, employment opportunities will be increased by increasing demand.
If the economy moves, people move again. Sometimes if a person moves, that person exerts his or her power. Thatâs how something new comes into being, and that stimulates and activates it.
If I manage to feel what I was portraying come true as I ideally would, I would still be happy.
â⌠I see you were still right to come and inspectâ
âEmperor Lukeheim?
âAll the Empire feared was increased power, that is, interest in the magic props used as weapons and protective equipment⌠but whatâs really amazing is the breadth of this magic propâ
With a serious look, Emperor Lukeheim continues his words with a view of the magic props.
âFrom the life of the people, it supports the foundations of knights and adventurers who protect the country. Letâs just say thatâs the value of magic props. It was created with a wealth of spiritual resources and the technology to take advantage of those spiritual resourcesâŚâ
â⌠Yes. This is the magic I can be proud of in this country.
There was a breathtaking sign of Uffi watching over things as he stepped back to my words. But that was an instant, and I soon found myself turning into a smiling air.
Emperor Lukeheim turns his gaze on me too, but I think I can be proud of my chest. Because right now, I think I can say more with my chest up than anyone else.

âMagic is not just about harnessing the power of the Spirit and defeating huge enemies. The Spirit is always telling us something about the world. Just because itâs there, we can learn a lot. Sometimes, of course, itâs impossible. Still, people can keep moving to make the impossible possible. I⌠thatâs what I call magic.â
Until I met Yufi, I couldnât say magic with my chest up so far. Still, I can tell you now without hesitation.
This is my magic. The miracle form I wanted to achieve in this country, itâs my dream ideal. Magic is never all about being a symbol of power. Making the future feel hopeful is the true value of magic, and thatâs what I want to believe.
â⌠Queen Uphilia. Just once, I want you to give me a chance.â
âŚâŚ Emperor Lukeheim? â
Emperor Lukeheim, who had a strange face in my words, speaks quietly to Ufi. Yufi seemed to frown a little confused by how Emperor Lukeheim looked like that.
As if he hadnât dared to care about Uffi like that, Emperor Lukeheim came looking straight at me. I noticed that those eyes had enough heat in them to burn, as if they were about to swallow.
âPrincess Anisphere. â If I told you I wanted you, how many things would I be able to load to welcome you to the empire?â
â⌠Huh?
âI guess the thoughts of the princess, the passion to bewitch, and the origins of the princess being a princess were raised in this kingdom of palettia. With all that in mind, I still wanted to welcome you into the empire. I donât mind laughing at the shallowness in my mouth even if I know itâs unreachable. But let me ask you something because I canât give up.â
I feel as if I have been grabbed by the voice of Emperor Lukeheim, which echoes in the core of my body. Iâve never been obsessed like this.
It reminds me of Yufi if youâre obsessed with me. But this was yet another different enthusiasm than what Uffi was pointing at me.
Yuffiâs obsession is as warm as trying to wrap and tangle me gently. But Emperor Lukeheimâs obsession makes me feel like a flaming passion to swallow.
âI hear what the princess was called in this country and how she was treated until Queen Uphilia took office. Many in the Kingdom of Palletia will now recognize the princessâs accomplishments enough to make them forget it. But still, I canât erase it until the fact that the princess has been abusedâ
âŚâŚâŚâŚ
âIf youâre going to call this magic prop feat magic, then thatâs even more exaggerating. Princess Anisphere, how can you be there like that? Is that only gonna happen in this kingdom? What can I offer you more than a kingdom to come to the Empire? Is there a reason why it has to be this kingdom, not an empire?
I recall the breath I had stopped at the inquiry of Emperor Lukeheim.
Close your eyes once and breathe slowly. Again, Iâm sure thereâs no more stray in my open eyes.
I stand next to Uffi, who was watching how things were going, and take Uffiâs hand, who is opening his eyes to a little surprise. Keep your fingers tangled and grip each other so they donât let go.
â- The reason is, it must have been fate. My life to this day, my encounters to this day, everything. It sure was painful and a lot of hard stuff. But thatâs when we met⌠it was Ufi. Uffi told me that I was loved. He told me it was good to be loved more. I still love you so much. So status, honor, I canât replace that. The reason we have to be the Kingdom of Palettia today is because we were born in this country and we met in this country. Thatâs why the Empire wonât do it.â
â⌠I see. Fate, huh?â
âYes. I want to believe that everything that I was born into as a princess and that Iâve never quite been able to acknowledge before, was meant to make me happy right now. Because the most I want to share that thought with you is Yufi. To walk away in this country, ever and ever.â
â⌠I see thatâs not going to cover it eitherâ
Emperor Lukeheim laughed as he pulled out his strength and clapped his shoulders.
â⌠Emperor Lukeheim. I also received the name Queen because Anis is Anis. Your duties as queen and your readiness are natural. But thatâs more for Anise than anything else. â Anis is all I have.â
âOh, I know. No, even if they made me understand wellâŚ. as long as I envy you. I salute you with all my heart. Donât get so attractive and charming that youâre about to burn.â
Emperor Lukeheim laughed bitterly at Yufiâs words. But right away, you get your place right and you stare at us from the front.
It was a favor to its eyes and a fierce one that made it feel just as belligerent.
âBut I also have something to bear as emperor. As long as we want to be together as neighbors, even if we canât always follow the same path. Oh, thatâs nice! The royal family of the kingdom of Palettia always moves my heart and never stops!
Emperor Lukeheim gives a joyful laugh with heartfelt joy. Next to it, Master Falgana smiles with a seemingly sorry bitterness and joins hands to apologize.
Seeing Master Falgana like that made me feel relaxed, too. Was that Yufi, too, when they accidentally look at each other?
Having looked at each other, me and Uffi could only smile bitterly, as we indicated.
