Magical Tool Master Dahlia Never Compromises ~ Starting Today: Life as a Freelancer ~

As long as he is alive, Magician Carlo will walk ahead of Magician Dalia.

This is not a goal, but his oath as a father.

He decided to find a day to secretly go to visit Theresa's grave alone.

Taking advantage of the dim sunset, she brought a bouquet of red dahlias and lit her favorite fairy crystal lamp.

Then he drank a bottle of red wine and told stories about his daughter's proud deeds.

When Dalia grows up, Carlo will tell her everything, and then they will go to see Theresa together - thinking of this, his smile gradually disappeared.

By then, there might be a man standing next to Dahlia who is closer to her.

Carlo knew that this was still a long, long time in the future, but he cared about it.

He had some expectations of the man.

I hope he protects Dalia well. He needs to be gentle, calm, and intelligent. Most importantly, he needs to be healthy, and ideally, outlive Dalia. He also needs to have a stable career and financial resources, not move abroad, and have family and relatives who are also available...

As a father, no matter what his own conditions are, he always has endless expectations for his son-in-law.

People around her often say Dalia looks like her father, but there are some things Carlo hopes his daughter won't be like him. Should we talk about her luck in love or marriage?

In short, he hopes that his daughter can live a happy life with her partner until she dies.

He would never allow Dahlia's partner to have an affair or die young.

"Please don't be like me..."

"Dad, what did you say?"

Carlo prayed softly, and Dahlia's green eyes widened in confusion.

It was too early for him to worry about this. Yes, it was premature and unnecessary worry.

"Nothing—let's go have breakfast."

Carlo stood up and turned off the fairy crystal lamp.

Dahlia showed a somewhat regretful expression.

"Future magician, please lend me your hand."

Carlo changed his voice, deliberately using an aristocratic tone, and reached out to Dahlia.

The daughter chuckled, but still held his hand obediently.

That warm little hand was still very small and could be completely covered by my own hand.

How many more years will he be able to hold his daughter's hand like this? I'm afraid not much longer -

Carlo put the thought aside and climbed the stairs at Dahlia's pace.

The sunlight coming in from the window reminded him of the two of them yesterday. He couldn't help but want to look back but gave up.

He could no longer see the illusion of perfect happiness.

But happiness is now in his hands.

The rainbow lantern lay there quietly, as if asleep, waiting to be lit again.

"When a woman is accompanied by a man, she should place the fingers of her right hand on the palm of the man's left hand. However, if the man is also acting as a bodyguard and is left-handed, he may use his right hand instead..."

Dalia was reading a thick book of etiquette and couldn't help looking into the distance.

She remembered that in her previous life she also found the rules of society troublesome.

I never thought that as a commoner in this life, I would also have to worry about the etiquette and laws of the aristocracy.

She can know her past and present lives because she is a reincarnated person.

Her name in this life is Dalia Rosetty.

His profession is a magic tool maker, specializing in making magic tools that are beneficial to life.

Although he has bright red hair and green eyes, his appearance is as plain and unremarkable as in his previous life.

"Dalia, do you remember?"

The young man who was sitting diagonally across from her at the table in the living room asked.

Wolffrid Scafalot.

He is the fourth son of the Earl, a member of the country's Knights and Monster Suppression Force, and a friend of Dahlia.

Ebony hair, snow-white skin, a high nose bridge, thin lips, a chin without a trace of fat, and charming golden eyes - it was like the perfect appearance painted by the best contemporary painter with all his might.

But this was a source of trouble for him, making his interpersonal relationships particularly difficult.

"It seems difficult. And there's more to remember than just these. I heard there are many etiquettes in the royal city that aren't even recorded in books... How about you, Wolf?"

"It's difficult... For example, this page says 'When there is a family member of high status or someone worthy of respect in the room, men and women should release each other's hands before entering and greet each other separately.' I don't think I'll remember it when I actually encounter it. And what if I enter the room without knowing who is there?

Wolff sighed. Even his sad face was as beautiful as a painting, but there was too much to worry about.

As shown by professions such as magic tool masters and monster subjugation team members, there is magic and monsters in this world.

In the words of my previous life, it is a fantasy world.

However, Dahlia has never seen a flying magic carpet or the philosopher's stone in her life.

Most of the magical tools he made were items closely related to daily life, similar to the home appliances or convenient gadgets in his previous life.

The monster-slaying unit that Wolff belonged to wasn't a group that fought for adventure or fame.

Monsters often bring great harm to humanity, and powerful monsters are comparable to natural disasters. Their job is to exorcise and defeat those monsters to protect the people.

Why would these two, magic tool masters and members of the monster subjugation team, be so troubled by the etiquette of the nobility?

It all started with a small incident.

Wolff once mentioned that "the shoes are full of sweat and very stuffy when the troops are on an expedition", so Dalia took out the five-toed socks she made for her deceased father and had kept unused, as well as insoles with a drying effect.

He got a lot of sets and shared them with his captain and other team members. His teammates were very satisfied with them and decided to order more from Dahlia.

Dahlia was happy to be able to help them.

However, the subsequent effects exceeded expectations.

The monster-slaying force's orders were so numerous that it seemed as if a zero had been added. Dahlia quickly discussed the matter with the Vice-President of the Merchant Guild and convened a meeting with the senior management of the Apparel and Adventurer Guilds. They subsequently decided to mass-produce five-toe socks and insoles, even building a new workshop.

Therefore, the Rosetti Chamber of Commerce founded by Dahlia will visit the monster-suppression troops in the royal city to officially deliver the goods. And she will go there in person.

As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, she had to visit the Royal City in person. Normally, ordinary people were not allowed to enter or leave the Royal City, and newly established Chambers of Commerce could not trade directly with people in the Royal City.

Although Dahlia's father is a baron, she grew up in a commoner environment and has no idea of ​​aristocratic etiquette.

Meanwhile, Wolff, who comes from a count's family, is the guarantor of the Rosetti Chamber of Commerce. It would be ideal to learn the etiquette of the royal city from him, but unfortunately, there's no way around it.

Wolfe had lived in the villa since he was about ten years old, and immediately joined the Monster Suppression Corps after graduating from the High School. Although he had learned the most basic etiquette of the nobility, he was not proficient in applying it. Although he entered and exited the Royal City as a member of the team, he was not required to receive guests. Therefore, he was not familiar with the formal etiquette of the Royal City.

Hence, the two of them were now in the green tower covered with plants - Dalia's house, holding the book of etiquette and sighing bitterly.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have taken my studies more seriously..."

The sight of Wolfe lying on the table with his arms stretched out reminded Dahlia of a similar scene.

"It seems like the day before the academy exam."

"real."

The capital of this country, the Kingdom of Audine, has both elementary and high schools.

Almost all children attend elementary school, where they learn reading, writing, arithmetic, and basic history. They can then attend higher education institutions to study and conduct research in specialized fields, depending on their desired career path.

Unlike in Japan in the past, there was no age limit for high school. Admission, promotion, and graduation were determined entirely by examinations. Therefore, it was natural that if you failed the exam, you would not be able to move on to the next level.

Whether in elementary or advanced college, Dalia had heard heartbreaking cries like "I should have studied more" before exams. However, despite these words, most people forgot the pain and returned to having fun once the exams were over.

"If it's the characteristics and history of the Demon Sword, I'll remember it instantly..."

With a light sigh, Wolfe said something very much like a "Magic Sword fan" would say.

He is a man obsessed with magic swords.

From magic swords from various countries to magic swords that only exist in fairy tales, he can introduce them in detail.

He even challenged the magic sword that no one in the royal city could pull out twice, and even risked being burned to borrow the magic sword from the captain of the monster subjugation team so that he could touch it.

Recently, he and Dalia, a magic tool maker, have begun experimenting with making an artificial magic sword. If they succeed, he will be very happy.

"Wolf really likes the magic sword..."

"Because the magic sword gives people a dreamy feeling. Doesn't Dahlia also know a lot about magic weapons?"

"I'm quite familiar with it. After all, I work as a magic tool maker."

She makes magic tools for a living.

Since she was going to make magical tools, she naturally needed to have a certain level of understanding of magic. She hoped to learn as much as possible about all the magical tools from ancient times to the present day, and she also wanted to see various items in person and see them in action.

In her previous life, Dalia was also interested in creating things and went to work for an appliance company. Unfortunately, she was assigned to the customer service department, where she died from overwork due to the heavy workload.

Fortunately, after reincarnation, I was able to become a magic tool maker, creating items in a broader way.

The materials available for magical tools and the materials that can be used to imbue them with magic are countless. These range from minerals, plants, and even magical materials. Different dosages, composition ratios, and the magic they impart can significantly affect the results.

Most importantly, magical tools hold the promise of improving people's lives.

Being able to create convenient magical tools that satisfy all needs and allow people to live a comfortable life, just like the Japanese home appliances of the past - if this job is not called a dream, what is it?

When Dahlia came to her senses, she realized that her gaze had moved from the book of etiquette to the bookcase filled with books about magical tools.

When Wolf saw this, he narrowed his golden eyes and laughed happily.

"Dalia really likes magical tools, just like me."

She couldn't deny it at all.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

The magical tool shop "Goddess's Right Eye" is located in a corner of Noble Street.

Dahlia visited the shop near closing time to learn the etiquette of the royal city from the owner, Oswald. Wolf walked beside her, and Ivanor followed behind her.

Wolff had asked her to let him know before visiting the "Goddess's Right Eye," so once the date was set, Dahlia wrote him a letter. The letter mentioned Ivano would be accompanying her, but Wolff immediately replied, saying he wanted to go and say hello on his first visit. Perhaps it was out of a sense of responsibility as the guarantor of the Rosetti Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately, the time Oswald specified was before closing time, so it would not delay Wolf's working hours.

However, she was a little surprised when Wolfe came in the black knight uniform of the army.

"You are forced to learn the royal city etiquette because you want to do business with our army."

Having said that, the dark color and the fabric that is not suitable for summer wear make it look really hot.

Seeing how much he cared about the Chamber of Commerce, Dalia felt very sorry.

Ivano seemed to be concerned about his attire, and asked, "Is this the uniform of the expeditionary force?"

The "Goddess's Right Eye" was constructed of white marble, so smooth that it reflected a reflection. The massive stone pillars on either side were engraved with beautiful flowers and images of the goddess. The sense of luxury it exuded made Dahlia feel intimidated, but she nonetheless reached for the gleaming white door.

Just as she reached the store door, a woman walked out. Wolfe put on his fairy crystal glasses with impressive speed.

"Welcome, are you the Roseti Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."

The woman said with a smile. She had a slightly lighter red hair than Dalia, brighter green eyes, and a rather gentle demeanor. The group followed her to the second floor of the shop.

"Welcome."

Following the instructions into the reception room, Oswald, wearing a black suit, sat at the other end of the white table and spoke with a smile.
