Chapter 225 I Think Id be Able to Finish It (1/2)

Based on the advice Sieg-san gave me, I thought about a gift for Lilia-san’s birthday.

I thought about giving Lilia-san an accessory because she hardly wears one…… But since I have lots of time to prepare, I decided to prepare something a little more elaborate.

However, the only problem is that I’m not sure if I’ll be able to prepare what I have in mind……

[……A music box magic tool?]

[Unnn. Do you think it’s possible to make something like that?]

So, I’m going through what I do as usual…… In times that I’m in trouble, I would ask Kuro’s help.

I asked Kuro, who showed up in my room at night as usual, and after I summarized the situation to her, I asked.

[Unnn. Rather, they are used for high-class presents, so my company also deals with them. Of course, there’s also regular music boxes, but magic tools are more popular because they are more compact and can hold various mechanisms.]

[I see.]

As expected, the music box itself seems to exist in this world, and they’re often used as presents.

This is very important information…… I learned about this when I first asked about the calculator. If I use a magic tool to recreate a machine from my world, she will be more surprised before she could even feel happy, and there’s also complicated stuff involved like patents.

So, it’s better to use a product that exists in this world and is somewhat famous.

[I think a music box as a present is a great idea. If you want to add some elaborate trick in it, should I make it for you?]

[Ahh, no…… Actually, I’m wondering if I could make that magic tool?]

[Kaito-kun?]

Of course, if I ask Kuro, she’ll be able to make the greatest music box in the world. However, this music box will be my present to Lilia-san as a gesture of gratitude.

There’s no reason why I can just have Kuro make it for me.

[Unnn. I’d like to make it on my own as much as possible…… No, of course I don’t know much about how to make it, so I’m sure I’ll have to ask Kuro and Alice for help……]

[Hmmm. Let’s see…… The technique used for a magic tool’s music box function itself is very simple, and since Kaito-kun can do simple writing these days…… Unnn, it should be alright. I’ll teach you how to write the difficult parts.]

[Ohh, that would be great. Thanks.]

I’m still receiving magic lessons from Kuro, and thanks to that, I’m making a lot of progress as well.

I can’t make a magic tool from scratch yet, but I can add simple actions to the original magic formula.

According to Kuro, the music box magic tool isn’t that difficult, and the difficulty is just right for a novice magic tool maker to challenge.

[Then, you could consult Shalltear with the design of the box and other stuff, so how about we learn the magic technique used?]

[Yeah, alright!]

[So, Kaito-kun, what “song” are you going to place in it?]

[……Eh?]

After nodding with a smile, I heard the words Kuro told me, making me stiffen in place…… Song? The music itself……?

[……Ah.]

[Could it be…… You haven’t thought of that at all?]

[……Ugghhh…]

[Kaito-kun…… You do know we can’t make it without at least some score, right?]

[It’s as you say……]

(T/N: Score is that paper filled with tadpoles.)

Her argument is so good that I can’t even make a sound to refute at all. I’m thinking about making a music box, but I didn’t even think that music boxes have music in them…… I’m an idiot……

Seeing me slumping my shoulders, Kuro let out a slightly troubled smile and spoke to me in a gentle tone of voice.

[Well, let’s just study the basic techniques for today. You can try to find a song starting tomorrow, okay?]

[U- Unnn…… Thanks.]

[I’ll do whatever I can to help you, so let’s do our best!]

[……Yeah!]

Very reassuring and thankful words…… Whether it’s Sieg-san or Kuro…… I really got wonderful lovers.

Anyhow, I’m going to Alice’s miscellaneous goods store tomorrow to consult with her about making a music box. I’ll also consult with her about the music while I’m there.

Alice herself has always been my escort, so I don’t have to go to the miscellaneous goods store if I just want to talk to her…… She has a workshop there, so I think going in her workshop would inspire this blank slate in my mind.

The 26th day of the Earth month, the day after I decided to make a music box. I came to Alice’s grocery store and was dumbfounded after I explained the situation to her.
