Chapter 2513: Company and Exclusive Brush

Im sorry for worrying you. Ive recovered so much that the Retsu Kaiou in me screams.
Though losing consciousness, even briefly, in front of a guest could be called a grave problem for a noble this time, Count Sharon had no intention of blaming Cornelia.
After all, although he was desperately holding himself together, Count Sharon could not completely stop his body from trembling, and beneath the desk his hands quivered faintly. The matter under discussion was just that immense.
To begin with, in Trinia, magic tools are indispensable to daily life. They are so essential that one might question whether anyone exists who does not use them at all. If such magic tools were to undergo a major reform, it could even be called a world-shaking event.
At this stage, Trois had only briefly explained the outline, and the detailed discussion was still to come. Even so, the scale of it was enough to make Cornelia, who could hardly be called a specialist in magic tools, lose consciousness from the shock.
In particular, the technology that allows a users own mana to be repurposed as the mana of a magic crystal was simply astonishing. Teleportation magic tools are a representative example, but when powerful effects are used, it takes a certain amount of time before the tool can be used again.
For teleportation magic tools, the difference varies by grade, but on average they require about two hours. Even licensed offensive magic tools used by knights or adventurers require a comparable cooldown before reuse.
To shorten that time by replenishing it with ones own mana would, without exaggeration, change the very way magic tools are used.
Furthermore, by assuming the use of the wielders mana, it becomes possible to create magic tools that employ spells which would not activate with magic crystal mana alone, and therefore could not originally be made into magic tools at all. This too would overturn many established conventions. If it even becomes possible to perform large-scale magic formulas that previously required an impossible, or at least unrealistic, number of magic crystals, then items once abandoned due to cost, such as the virtual-space-generating magic tool Alice created for the Six Kings Festival using abundant resources, might now be feasible to produce.
Nor is that all. It may also become possible to expand the effects of existing magic tools. For example, with teleportation magic tools, due to the large mana consumption, even the highest-grade models currently can transfer only about three to four people at once. Yet by having the user supply additional mana, it might become possible to teleport everyone and everything within a certain range together.
If one assumes that the user will provide additional mana, it may even be possible to reduce the quality of the magic crystal and drastically lower the price of magic tools. The changes that could arise from this single technology alone are staggering.
(Father also looks completely unable to keep up with his thoughts. I understand that feeling painfully well. Someone like me can hardly imagine the full extent of the impact but one thing is absolutely clear: this will bring unimaginable profit)
If, regarding this revolutionary new technology, the Sharon County were able to secure sufficient rights and interests through joint development with the worlds largest merchant group, the Seditch Magic Tool Company, the amount of money flowing into their house would be dizzying to even imagine.
And at the same time, what they were forced to recognize anew was the sheer magnitude of Kaitos influence.
To be honest, the Seditch Magic Tool Company has no real advantage in proposing this joint development or research. Officially, the trigger is said to be the exclusive brush from the Victor Trading Company, but in fact, the brush itself contained no new technology; it was the additional product created by Canalis that was the truly revolutionary masterpiece.
With nothing more than such a tenuous connection, if the Sharon County were to assert rights based on this reasoning, they would merely be ridiculed. But if the proposal comes from the Seditch Magic Tool Company instead, the situation changes.
After all, the Seditch Magic Tool Company has more than enough resources to conduct development and research on its own. Even if the Sharon Company is considered relatively large within the Human Realm, there is no particular benefit for them to go out of their way to approach it.
At that point, both Cornelia and Count Sharon could easily imagine whose influence had created the present situation.
(Though it is only a conjecture, when the Seditch Magic Tool Company approached him about the new technology, perhaps Kaito-sama told them something like, Since the exclusive brush was the trigger, please show consideration to the Sharon County. Kaito-sama himself gave the impression that he truly had more money than he knew what to do with, so I cannot imagine him desiring enormous profits I can picture that much, but! To casually hand something like this over, the matter is simply far, far too enormous!!)
Yes, they could imagine it. They understood that Kaito, who already had more wealth than he could spend, would have no desire to claim such rights and given his personality, he had probably said something lightly along the lines of, Then as long as you show consideration to Cornelia-sans side, thats fine, tossing it out with casual ease. But for those on the receiving end, the scale of the profit was so great that it went beyond mere gratitude and instead felt like their stomachs might burst from the strain.
For the time being, before proceeding to the detailed discussion, Cornelia and Count Sharon simultaneously instructed the maid waiting nearby to bring tea effective for stomachache.
Serious-senpai : [She understands that Kaito doesnt desire any rights or profits, and even without hearing the details, she can roughly imagine how the flow of things occurred but still, to have such an enormous windfall just handed over like that, no wonder her stomach hurts How pitiful.]
