by fnovelpia“···Hmm. Arrived.”
“I feel quite lost…”
“This is my first time working in the production department. I still think about it, but Geoff is too wide. Because it almost cut down a mountain.”
Afternoon after class. Revan and El were standing side by side in the center of a building.
The ceiling of the building we entered through the huge entrance had a majestic picture of a golden beaver carved on it.
‘Golden Beaver’ was a place where the best students in the production department gathered. Beaver may seem insignificant, but it is a place where the best students in the production field gather.
Of course, most of the arrogant golden dragons used to ignore Beaver, but the students here are talented people who will belong to workshops that handle various magic tools in the future. The proportion of nobles was also high, although not as high as that of the Golden Dragon.
“Get out of the way!
Drurrr! A woman who appeared to be a student was pulling a cart filled with something. Additionally, the inside of the building was filled with a diligent and lively atmosphere.
Perhaps because it was a place that handled production, the building was dazzling. Sculptures and artwork. In addition, various magical tools for convenience were placed here and there in the building.
“Oh, it’s candy.”
A small golem scurried over and handed El a piece of candy and a letter. Palak. Inside the opened letter was something that seemed to anyone to be flirting.
“Whoa, I’m tired. This guy’s popularity.”
El waved the letter in Revan’s direction and shook his head. It seemed like he wanted to show off his popularity.
Revan, who did not want to fall for an obvious trick, looked down at the golem and spoke bluntly.
“How about meeting him sometime?”
“I don’t like a man who can’t even show me his face.”
“···Are you saying that to me?”
“Well?”
El smiled lightly as he looked at Revan’s face and returned the candy and letter to the golem.
“Return to the owner.”
The golem that received the item back looked somewhat dispirited. As if he was expecting a disappointed reaction from his master.
Trudging. El smiled slightly as she looked at the back of the golem walking helplessly.
“By the way, there are many interesting things. It almost makes you think that a beaver is better than a dragon.”
Revan internally agreed with El’s words.
A student running around with soot on his body. Dark circles are deep under the eyes regardless of gender. An atmosphere where heated discussions continue while walking.
At the very least, it was a place where the desire for advancement and passion for the field one was delving into were clearly revealed. Revan thought that the atmosphere here was better than the golden dragon steeped in authority.
“Over there.”
I was so caught up in various things that I almost lost my purpose. Revan caught a passing girl.
“Yes, yes?!”
The feet of the woman, who was wearing glasses and her hair was so bushy that it covered her eyes, were about 5cm off the ground. Revan seemed surprised by his voice.
“Tsk tsk. You startled a woman passing by. Our junior is a bad man.”
It was unfair. I just wanted to ask for directions. El clicked his tongue at Revan and slowly approached the trembling girl.
“You don’t have to be too surprised.”
“Ah, yes, yes.”
“I want to ask you something, is it okay?”
The two standing side by side had a height difference. L was about a head taller.
L and the girl wearing glasses chatted about this and that, then nodded to each other and waved their goodbyes.
“Senior Werner is probably in the workshop.”
El, who was approaching in full force, announced the income he had obtained. The reason the two came to the production department today was to talk with Werner.
Revan walked behind El. Still, he muttered in a grumpy voice.
“You speak kindly to your senior, but why don’t you talk to me…”
“Are you asking because you really don’t know? Why not think about how you look on the outside?”
El blocked Revan’s dissatisfied complaints.
Revan pictured his appearance in his mind. A coat wrapped around the body. A gas mask covering the face. A full body with no bare skin exposed.
“······.”
There was nothing to refute.
***
There are many benefits available to Golden Beaver students.
Just as El, who performed well as a member of Geoff’s Golden Dragon, received a poor performance for the club, there are benefits given to the excellent students of Golden Beaver.
One of them is to obtain an attack and defense. Of course, it is a world away from the real scum of the society.
The attack and defense at Golden Beaver was similar to a club. It was safe to say that it was a club whose purpose was focused on production.
So the two walked along the path that the female student had shown them earlier. Not long after, Elle knocked on the door.
“Are you there?”
smart. Not long after there was a knock on the wooden door, a voice was heard from inside.
“Who?”
“Me. Revan.”
Revan responded to the voice that returned. Slam! Not long after, the door opened wide with the sound of footsteps.
“Huh? What’s going on?!”
It was Werner whom I had not seen in a long time since the flag pulling test.
After receiving an A rank, Werner immediately applied for a change from Golden Dragon to Golden Beaver. This is because they have become disillusioned with their sense of authority and the way they have been treated.
Last time I sent a letter, I received a reply saying I was doing well, but seeing Werner in person was beyond my imagination.
First of all, my shoulders, which were always hunched, became straighter. The shaggy hair that fell down to her face was neatly trimmed.
Above all, the atmosphere was different. It wasn’t the always intimidated look he showed in Golden Dragon.
Revan felt fortunate in his heart. I was worried that he might have left Golden Dragon because of me, but seeing him doing well made me feel at ease.
“I’m glad you’re doing well. Senior.”
***
“Sorry, I ran out of tea.”
“It’s okay. You can’t drink here anyway.”
“···Ah.”
Werner, who was rustling in the cupboard to get something to eat, stiffened.
“You don’t have to worry about it.”
Revan chuckled and waved his hand. Phew. Werner sighed and sat down at the desk facing each other.
“It’s been a while. What’s going on?”
Revan winked at Werner’s question, smiling happily. L spread out the blueprint on the desk.
“This…?”
As soon as he saw the blueprint, Werner’s eyes became sharp. It was a fairly believable response.
“It is a structure that stores mana and scatters it in the air. Just like dandelion seeds.”
If there is a blueprint, there must be a maker who can make the product.
Elle chose Werner as its producer. Revan recalled the previous conversation.
-I would like to receive help from senior Werner. The Chilwell family is renowned for its magic tools.
-···Will senior Werner really accept it?
-This is my personal opinion, but the probability that you will accept is quite high.
Revan was skeptical of El’s words. I know that Werner has a crush on me, but I thought it was unclear whether he would help me with something like this.
However, L’s attitude was confident. Rather, the more a place smells like business, the more clearly human emotions are revealed.
“Hmm… The structure is more elaborate and delicate than I thought. L, did you make this? If your skills are this good, it won’t be a problem to join the Golden Beaver, right?”
L shook her head in response to a question that seemed slightly suspicious.
“I made it. I would like to say, but I received a lot of advice. It is safe to say that my share in this blueprint is just an idea.”
“Hmm. I see If you build it right, it will work as designed. But why are you making this?”
In response to Werner’s question, L briefly explained his goals. He says that he has the power of purification and that he can remove Revan’s gas mask.
“Hmm.”
Werner, who was listening to the explanation while nodding his head as if it was quite interesting, tore up the paper. Then he picked up the pen and drew ink.
“It’s okay to make it according to the blueprint, but if you’re using it to purify Revan’s poison, it would be better to make it separately in a portable form that’s easy to carry on your body. I don’t think it will need that much of a renovation, but-”
The moment Werner, whose eyes were sparkling as if a switch had been turned on, was about to put pen to paper, the door opened. A doll carefully entered the workshop.
“That, Werner. They said they ran out of snacks in the cupboard. So I…?”
It was the girl with glasses who gave me directions earlier. He came in carefully, holding a basket full of snacks and tea bags in his hands.
However, he seemed embarrassed because there were three people in the workshop where Werner was supposed to be alone. Werner approached the girl shivering in front of the door.
“Ah, Annika. What’s going on?”
“No, that, that-”
“Oh. Did you bring this to give to me?”
“Uh, yes.”
“Thank you, I was in trouble because I didn’t have anything to give to the customer. Now my important guests are here. Shall we have some tea together later?”
“Ugh, yes…!”
Annika seemed happy about Werner’s suggestion, smiled and quietly disappeared out the door.
“Oh…?”
Elle looked at Werner with suspicious eyes.
