This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
While a peaceful tea party was being held on the Land of Death, Demon Realm, in the subspace located in Kaitos backyard, Nebula was nodding in satisfaction as she gazed at the freshly fired items.
[Its become quite intricate thanks to all the effort we put in, but it fired beautifully, didnt it?]
[Yes. Tahaa~~ As expected of Nebula-san. Well, aside from the ones for Marquis Eriss daughter, well be preparing the family crest service ourselves, but with this method, it seems we can imprint the crests far more cleanly than before.]
[It was worth the effort. That said, being able to fire such large ceramics so beautifully was thanks to Canalis-san modifying the kiln. Since my abilities are currently limited, I always appreciate Canalis-sans help. Thank you, as always.]
After saying that with a smile, Nebula approached Canalis and gently patted her head. Though Canalis remained expressionless, tears streamed from her eyes as she was moved to the core.
For Canalis, who proudly proclaimed herself a true loyal devotee, being able to assist Nebula was the ultimate joy. And now, not only had the Nebula she so revered praised her, telling her she was useful, but she had even patted her head and personally expressed her gratitude. Words could not describe the sheer happiness she felt.
Meanwhile, at that exact moment, a God from another world and a friend of Canalis, abruptly stood up and began shadowboxing toward the void. However, Canalis, basking in the peak of happiness would only come to learn of this after that fist, honed through countless shadowboxing, was delivered upon her.
After finishing most of her work for the day in the estates office, Lilia found herself with some free time and was considering training when Nebula came to visit her.
[Good afternoon, Lilia-san. Sorry to bother you while youre working.]
[Good afternoon. I had just finished a major portion of my work, so its no problem. Is something the matter?]
[Yes, the prototype for the family crest service we discussed with Nifty is ready, so I thought Id show it to you]
[Ah, right. You used our family crest as a sample, didnt you?]
Lilia had already heard about Niftys plan to offer a service that imprints family crests onto ceramics. During the discussions, she had been asked for permission to use the Albert Duchys crest as a test case, and she had readily agreed.
After confirming Lilias nod, Nebula retrieved a massive plate, over a meter in diameter, from her magic box and placed it on the table.
[Its this one.]
[T- This is quite a large piece, isnt it?]
[Larger pieces have more visual impact, so I decided to make a large plate as a prototype.]
[I see, that aside, this is truly remarkable Not just our family crest, but is that Sky Castle and the Royal Capital?]
[Yes. I wanted to incorporate elements related to the Albert Duchy, so I chose the Sky Castle and the Royal Capital. The crest fits nicely in the center for balance.]
The plate Nebula had fired featured the Albert Duchys crest prominently in the center, with a beautifully rendered Sky Castle and the royal capital of Symphonia depicted in the background.
As Lilia admired the craftsmanship, her expression gradually turned pale
[U- Um Nebula-san, d- dont tell me this artwork wasnt painted on after firing, but rather, the design was already completed at the time of firing?]
[Yes. No additional coloring was applied afterward. This is how it looked straight out of the kiln.]
Lilia wasnt particularly interested in collecting ceramics, nor did she have a strong personal passion for them. However, as the head of a Duchy she had many opportunities to see fine porcelain at noble gatherings, so she had cultivated a refined aesthetic sense and a solid understanding of ceramics.
That was precisely why she understood. The plate Nebula had fired this was something that should be impossible with existing techniques
[I- It feels somewhat similar to Symphonia Kingdoms Five-Color Ceramics, but this clearly isnt just five colors, is it?]
[Yes. I based the method on Five-Color Ceramics but developed a new technique and a unique glaze of my own. Currently, I can fire up to ten colors separately while maintaining vivid hues. This prototype was made using all ten colors, but since ten is quite difficult, Niftys service will be limited to a maximum of seven colors.]
[I- I- I- I see This will revolutionize Symphonia Kingdoms ceramic industry. A- And, that glaze Is it something that cant be made through normal means?]
[No, its actually quite easy to make with a few modifications to existing materials. I have no intention of monopolizing the technique, so if you need it, I can give you a written document detailing the method and the materials for the glaze. You may use it as you wish, Lilia-san.]
[Yesh.]
Incidentally, the prototype pieces were originally promised to be given to Lilia. Naturally, since they featured the Albert Duchys crest so prominently, they couldnt be given to anyone else. It was only logical that she would manage them. However This plate incorporated a new technique capable of revolutionizing the ceramics industry And the document that Nebula handed over so casually contained the method for this groundbreaking technique and the glaze that allowed more than five colors to be fired simultaneously At that moment, Lilia felt as though she had just been handed an enormous bomb.
[Nebula-san, may I ask why you even attempted such a difficult or rather, such an entirely new method in the first place?]
[While discussing about Niftys earthenware, Milord mentioned that something with more colors than Five-Color Ceramics would be beautiful. Since it was Milords wish, fulfilling it is a given for this Absolute! So, after consulting with Canalis-san, we decided to develop this method.]
[I see.]
Hearing Nebulas response, Lilia had a complicated look on her face and swallowed the words That person probably just said that offhandedly without giving it much thought. that she was about to retort back.
Serious-senpai : [Just when I thought I was suddenly punched, the Stomachache Warrior got hit too. I was impressed by Eris, but the stomachache power of the strongest Stomachache Warrior really is just on a different level]
