Chapter 2345: The Promised Tea Party
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
As time passed, everyone gradually grew accustomed to one another, and the conversations began to flow more naturally than at the start. It had been the same when she first visited Lilias home, since Kuro was inherently sociable and kind, even those who at first seemed intimidated by her title as one of the Six Kings began to open up once they got to know her.
[So, by the way, Kuromueina-sama]
[Ahh, you can just call me Kuromu. So, whats the matter, Cornelia-chan?]
[Well then, Kuromu-sama this may not be the most fitting topic for a tea party, but since I have the chance to meet you, I wanted to offer my thanks Thanks to Kuromu-sama, and by extension the Seditch Magic Tools Trading Company, publishing educational materials for magic tool technicians, the Sharon Trading Company is now able to introduce a trainee-apprenticeship program.]
[Ohh, thats wonderful. I had really hoped others would take it up, so hearing youre actually implementing it makes me happy.]
What Cornelia-san brought up was the traineeapprenticeship system that my parents had also made use of. I had thought it was an initiative exclusive to the Seditch Company, but it turned out Kuro had been sharing the educational curricula with other companies as well.
[So the system Mom and Dad used, that was made public?]
[Unn. Our original goal was to increase the number of human magic tool technicians after all. At first we just tried it out in our company, but once we saw there werent any problems, we shared it with others. Instead of having the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company monopolize all the technicians, I wanted as many companies as possible to adopt it and help grow the number of Human technicians. That way competition would arise, people would sharpen their skills against one another, and the overall technology of magic tools across the human world would advance.]
[I think its truly a wonderful initiative. In truth, when it comes to crafting magic tools, the Human Realm is far behind the Demon Realm, and highly skilled Human technicians are extremely rare. To have educational methods and teaching materials made available is a huge boon. The Sharon Trading Company doesnt have the capital that Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company does, but we plan to recruit a small number of apprentices in the near future.]
[Unn, unn. Im really looking forward to seeing those kids grow and the number of technicians increase.]
Kuro really wished for the development of magic tool technology. She even opened up some patents free of charge, and since many different companies were making recording and projection magic tools, she must have been providing technical support too.
You could feel the authority of the parent of magic tools in her attitude.
[Speaking of which, I heard from them theyre doing fairly well, but how are Mom and Dad, really?]
[Akari-chan and Kazuya-kun are amazing. Especially with recording and projection magic tools, since those are based on the technology from your world, they need to be reproduced through magic formulas. But because those two know exactly what the finished product should look like, theyve been a huge help. Theres even talk that, once they gain a bit more experience, they could each lead their own teams.]
When I asked Mom and Dad, they just humbly said things like Were working comfortably in an ultra-white environment, but judging from Kuros words, they seemed to be doing very well. Hearing that kind of news made me really happy.
[Cornelia-samas Sharon Trading Company is already a major firm among those based in the Human Realm, since you also deal in teleportation magic tools. Seeing your number of technicians grow is something I look forward to as well.]
[Fumu fumu, among magic tools, the most expensive and difficult to handle are teleportation magic tools, right?]
[Thats correct. The formulas themselves are complex, and the magic crystals required must be of the highest quality, making teleportation magic tools absolutely top-class among magic tools. Even among the nobility, many Barony and Viscouncy dont own one.]
Eris-sn gave me a clear explanation in response to my question. Indeed, teleportation magic tools were ultra-high-class items, worth billions to tens of billions in yen. Even for nobles, it was not something easily affordable.
[Our household doesnt own a teleportation magic tool either. So just getting to the Capital is quite a struggle.]
[Yeah, having one or not makes a huge difference. By the way, Marie-san, how did you get here today?]
[Embarrassing as it is to admit, theres no large city within the Ritch Baronys territory that has a Teleportation Gate, and we dont have the financial means to hire someone capable of Teleportation Magic, so normally, we take a carriage to a city that does have a Teleportation Gate, use the gate to reach the Capital, and then pay to rent a carriage again to travel from there. This time, however, Lady Eris-sama, kindly sent a carriage to the Capitals Teleportation Gate to pick me up, so I came with that.]
Now that she said it, it made perfect sense. Teleportation Gates only existed in fairly large cities. If you didnt own a teleportation magic tool, you had no choice but to travel to such a city first, then use the gate to reach the capital, and then continue on again from there.
Considering the costs and demand, teleportation services would only be run in big cities where they could expect enough customers. For people living out in the provinces without their own teleportation magic tools, travel really must have been quite a difficult ordeal.
Serious-senpai : [You sure are courteously stacking stomachache flags there, Marie If you hand over that kind of info, the Stomachache Devil will come and smack you with goodwill]

Screen Time:
As the current King of the Symphonia Kingdom, where Kaito originally should have resided, he should be prone to all sorts of stomachaches, and the foundations for it are solid. However Most of the stomachache cases in Symphonia Kingdom are funneled into Lilias stomach, who acts as a buffer, meaning Ryze rarely becomes the direct sufferer of stomachaches.
While the sheer draw of the Strongest Stomachache Warrior can be overwhelming, Ryzes actual Stomachache Power is among the weakest in the roster. Eating meals at the expense of your beloved sisters stomach, does it taste good?

Future Risk:
The current Emperor of Archlesia Empire, she might be the one among the three rulers who has taken the most direct bodyblows from Kaito. During Archlesia Empires Founding Festival, she suffered an impressive number of stomachache incidents, making her Stomachache Power quite notable. Naturally, Lilia was caught up in it as well.
At first, she had a somewhat scheming and dark aura, but after showing her hopelessness in romance and mellowing out, it could be said she started taking stomach hits.
Additionally, the Stomachache Devil has recently extended his reach towards Archlesia nobility, so future stomachache developments are a cause for concern.

Chance of Abdication:
The current King of Hydra Kingdom, shes been facing a lot of troubles recently due to the actions of the problem child (lost child) and ultra-problem child (chivalrous thief) in the Hero Party.
She did encounter a massive stomachache incident when Shiro made her attack during the Founding Festival, bringing with her a stomachache of incredible magnitude, but it happened in a parallel world, and Laguna did not inherit the memory. In a sense, she avoided the worst stomachache case. Lilia, however, did inherit the memory and suffered the parallel-world body blow.
Laguna has a fairly level-headed personality, so shes primed to be manipulated by Subject Ks but she also has enough cunning to dodge effectively. While she may experience minor stomachaches, the big ones are likely avoided. In that sense, she has high Draw Power but low actual Stomachache Power.
