Chapter 6

Chapter 6: A Gift for the Family.
Thanks to the magic tool, I’d slept remarkably well last night.
Probably because of that, I’d woken up before Noah even came to rouse me, and managed to eat a proper breakfast too.
I felt genuinely great.
After breakfast, while relaxing back in my room, Noah brought in some tea.
As he brewed the black tea in his usual manner, he spoke up.
“I’m relieved you woke up early today and ate a proper breakfast.”
“…I can wake up now, and I’ll eat properly going forward too… probably.”
“Is this thanks to yesterday’s magic tool?”
“Exactly. A good sleeping environment really matters. Just sleeping properly makes a huge difference in how your mind functions. Thanks to that, I think today’s magic tool work for Mother and the others should go smoothly.”
“I see. Well then, I’ll come get you again once it’s time for lunch.”
“Ah, please do.”
Noah left the room, and I grabbed my improved magic tool, heading toward the workshop adjacent to my private chambers.
…I should probably make another unit just for myself, one for my room and one for the workshop.
Carrying it back and forth every time is a hassle.
Opening the workshop door, I was greeted by heat so intense it hardly felt like morning at all.
“…It’s hot.”
Having experienced how comfortable the magic tool made things yesterday, this temperature difference felt especially brutal.
…Maybe I should add some kind of timer function to the workshop unit, so I don’t have to walk into this heat every time…
Well, that can wait. Let’s make Mother’s and Tiana’s units first.
Building off what I made yesterday, I dialed Mother’s and Tiana’s units’ cooling performance down by about 30%.
I added the temperature-responsive gauge again too, so the setting would be visible at a glance—
Alright, done.
Since it was really just a minor adjustment from yesterday’s build, it came together easily.
“Now then, let’s have Mother try it out.”
I carried the finished magic tool to her room.
Knock knock——
“Mother, the magic tool I mentioned yesterday is finished.”
A maid stationed inside the room opened the door at my voice.
“Please, Master Finn, come in.”
Prompted by the maid, I stepped inside.
“Here, this is it.”
“Oh my! It’s already done?”
“Yeah, it only needed a small adjustment from what I’d already made. Go ahead and try it out.”
I had the maid help position it against the wall at the far end of the room, then explained the control panel’s operation to both Mother and the maid.
“Using this control panel, you can operate it from anywhere in the room. I’d recommend either keeping it close by, or placing it in the cabinet near the door.”
“How wonderfully convenient… ah… it’s so cool——”
“It should be fine for this summer without issue, but once the magic core needs replacing, a small red light on the control panel will light up — that’s your cue to swap it out. There’s a matching red light on the main unit too, so use that as a reference.”
“Understood. Thank you so much. With this magic tool, I imagine the guests I invite to summer tea parties will be delighted.”
“Alright, I’ll go make ones for Father and my brother next.”
“Yes. Please don’t push yourself too hard.”
Leaving Mother’s room, on my way to Tiana’s, I ran into her personal maid.
“Could you set this up in Tiana’s room? I’ll explain how to use it.”
Once the maid had it installed, and I’d walked her through the control panel, I headed back to the workshop.
For Father’s and my brother’s units, dialing the cooling performance down by about 20%, same as my personal unit, should work fine.
From there, I continued building using the same process as before, based on what I’d just made.
Father’s study probably sees a lot of foot traffic, so I’d keep the output level maintained — should handle a somewhat larger room without issue.
Knock knock——
“Master Finn, it’s time for lunch.”
I’d been just about finished, but perhaps because I’d been so absorbed, I realized I was genuinely hungry. I’d finish the rest in the afternoon.
“…Coming now.”
Once lunch was done, I headed straight back to the workshop to continue the build.
——Finished.
Looking at the row of completed magic tools laid out before me, I felt a small sense of satisfaction.
The more I get used to this, the faster I can build them. Might as well make one for the servants’ break room too, while I’m at it.
Thank you for reading.
