Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 624



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 624

Mysterious Consultant (2)

“That’s right….”

The father-in-law then nodded with a puzzled expression.

“I actually don’t understand why you didn’t know that fact until now. “Don’t you know exactly why I came?”

“I think Master Narcissa may have designated us as an industry when he incorporated us into the upper-class workshop district.”

Mouser frowned at Lennok’s words.

“Are you saying that Narcissa just decided what to do without asking our wishes? “The current situation can only be explained without being so dogmatic…”

Mouser inadvertently began complaining about Narcissa but then closed his mouth.

Is it because he thought there was no need to see his comrade lying in a hospital bed after overcoming the danger of death?

But Lennok pondered Mouser’s words and shook his head.

“Judging from Narcissa’s father-in-law’s personality that won’t be the case. “If he really wanted to ask us to do something like this he would have tried to get a clear answer from me on the spot.”

“That’s right but….”

“The fact that such a customer came even after Master Narcissa fell into a coma means that the story about the consulting was leaked to the workshop district in advance.”

Lennok said.

“I think they may have made an excuse to select a somewhat unique industry as a justification for incorporating our workshop into a high-end workshop district.”

It is difficult to be promoted directly from a lower-level workshop district to a higher-level workshop district just by achieving excellent grades at the selection ceremony.

It would not be impossible if in the process the addition of a unique industry compared to Lennok’s abilities was emphasized in order to properly justify the promotion.

As if to support Lennok’s guess the father-in-law who had been listening quietly shook his head.

“that’s right. “The Solmer manager said at the workshop meeting that he plans to upgrade a new workshop as a benefit for the craftsmen.”

“…Huh really….”

Did it feel quite unfamiliar that Lennok’s intuitive guess was quite close to the correct answer?

Lennok answered ignoring Mouser’s curious glances.

“I think the intention was to leave the industry in name only and let the workshop itself operate freely. “During the process Narcissa’s father-in-law fell into a coma and it appears that communication back and forth was not carried out properly.”

Ebert who became the manager of the upper workshop district on behalf of Narcissa did not hear anything else from her so he just carried out the matter as is.

Because we did not know the specific circumstances or details things got mixed up in the process.

Only then did the father-in-law understand what Lennok was saying and sighed with a slightly displeased look.

“So in the end you just came here under the protection of Narcissa’s father-in-law. “Aren’t you saying that you can’t accept my consultation?”

“….”

“That’s right….”

Mouser belatedly cleared his throat and took care of the situation.

“We also haven’t heard anything about this agenda. “I think we will have to look into the specific circumstances after Narcissa wakes up and returns.”

“Hmph….”

The father-in-law also frowned as if he was disapproving but eventually nodded probably accepting the situation.

“I get it. Narcissa I know very well how strict that woman is. “You guys must have been caught up in that dogmatism too.”

Was it because of Narcissa’s strict personality that she unexpectedly gained sympathy?

Mouser also nodded at the craftsman’s rather cooperative attitude unlike his initial rough attitude.

“exactly. “Let’s talk again after Narcissa regains her health.”

“Whoa damn it… I was wondering if I could fix the problem this time…”

The back of a craftsman sighing and trudging out of the workshop.

Lennok looked at the craftsman like that and continued speaking as if something suddenly occurred to him.

“I never said I wouldn’t take the job.”

“…what?”

“half?”

The Artisan and the Mouser turned their heads almost simultaneously with surprised expressions.

Lennok looked at the expressions on the two people’s faces and slowly stood up from the workbench.

“You said it was consulting on public classroom operation right?”

Lennok stretched out with a listless look and nodded towards his father-in-law with a grin.

“The internal facility relocation is almost complete so let’s go and take a look. “Is that okay?”

* * *

“What on earth are you thinking?”

The streets of a neat upscale workshop district.

The sidewalk blocks on busy streets are neatly laid out with not a single broken part visible down to a single grain of cement.

A neat and orderly landscape completely different from the lower-class workshop district which had a somewhat sloppy feel.

Mouser who was walking behind his father-in-law grabbed Lennok’s shoulder and whispered in a low voice.

“It’s not that I don’t understand that friend’s situation but why would we give him that kind of consulting?”

Although the relocation of the workshop’s internal facilities is almost complete it does not mean that there is still work to be done.

Of course you need to check the necessary equipment and the thermal power of the furnace and make sure that the internal facilities and power are operating and supplying smoothly.

Since we have just arrived and settled in the upper-class workshop district shouldn’t we open the business as quickly as possible so that other customers can recognize this workshop?

In the meantime it was a decision that Mouser could not understand with his common sense to go beyond accepting requests from other craftsmen and try to provide consulting on the operation of the workshop.

However even after hearing Mouser’s words Lennok quietly shook his head.

“It is not without reason. “At least it’s not to the point where I don’t even try.”

“…According to what you said didn’t Narcissa just register a different business to suit the cause? “Even though you know that you still want to fit into the industry that Narcissa has chosen?”

“If it benefits me wouldn’t it be better to do it?”

Lennok asked as he glanced around.

“Even from this distance the gaze felt is quite strong. “Rather than being wary of outsiders they are aware that we are new artisans in the workshop.”

“….”

As he said every time Lennok passes by in various parts of the street gazes become stronger and the curtains of the workshop windows are seen slowly closing.

It’s hard to notice unless you’re conscious but the air is definitely changing subtly around the group.

Lennok cut off those people’s gaze and spoke again.

“According to what Artisan Ebert said there is a high possibility that the craftsmen here do not view us very favorably. In fact doesn’t that father-in-law think of us as half-parachutes?”

“that….”

“Originally Narcissa would have personally protected us and resolved this opposition but due to the assassination attempt Narcissa is no longer there and only his decision remains.”

Lennok said this and looked up at the artisan’s workshop in the distance.

“In other words in order to work properly in this high-end workshop district we must also seek to sustain ourselves in our own way.”

“…Is that the consulting on workshop operation you mentioned?”

“There is no reason to only do business with the residents of Machine City.”

Lennok laughed.

“If possible wouldn’t it be possible to consider artisans in the same workshop district as customers?”

If Lennok succeeds in this task he will be able to build up good relationships by doing business with craftsmen who run the same workshop.

Since the craftsmen who stay here in the upper-class workshop district are mostly craftsmen with proven outstanding skills and talents they must also pick up a lot of news from here and there.

Lennok had already realized that there was a way to uncover the secrets of the Machine City here too.

“Huh I still don’t know….”

Mouser sighed and raised his gaze as he said that.

“I wonder why Narcissa registered as a business for operating a workshop…”

“When I look back at the advice Master Narcissa gave me when he first came to my workshop most of them were related to organizing or operating internal facilities.”

Lennok who regained his memory explained.

“I think it may have been because Master Narcissa himself had such great interest in running the workshop.”

At that moment the father-in-law who had been walking nonstop in front of the two suddenly stopped.

“They’re all here.”

The father-in-law suddenly says something and looks back.

However Lennok and Mouser kept their mouths shut when they saw the appearance of the workshop in front of them.

Cheap!!

Pooh!!

A large workshop almost large in size.

This was because acrid smoke was billowing from dozens of pipes rising above the roof and alarms were ringing non-stop.

Customers constantly come and go in the workshop and employees selling goods mingle shouting and negotiating noisily.

“Let’s go inside first and talk.”

The craftsman said that and immediately brought the two people into the workshop.

Kang Kang Kang!!

The heat filled the interior of the workshop and the steam rising from the constant pouring of water.

The shouts of craftsmen pounding hammers on the workbench intersect and at times hazy smoke obscures your vision.

The shape of equipment that is continuously refined maintained and extracted from a total of five furnaces.

While Mouser could not easily take his eyes off the figure Lennok walked without hesitation to the craftsman’s lounge located in the innermost part of the workshop.

“Now that I think about it the announcement was late. “It’s called Cyberd.”

“…Cybird?”

While Mouser frowned slightly upon hearing the name Lennok also mentioned the name.

“This is Lyman.”

“I heard that friend earlier called you Ban?”

“It’s an abbreviated name among friends.”

There is confusion because he started out as a craftsman and his name was changed to Lyman by bailiff Isabella.

However Lennok did not express such thoughts at all and responded calmly.

Cyberd also probably didn’t ask because he was very interested so he brought the topic straight to the point.

“Then let’s talk about what I want to discuss right away. As you can see my workshop is doing quite well even in the vicinity of Earth.”

Cyberd who calmly boasted about how well his business was doing soon frowned.

“Things were going well so I hired several students and set up a separate business outside the workshop. The problem is that the environment inside the workshop is getting worse these days.”

At Cyvid’s words Mouser and Lennok looked at each other at the same time.

“It still doesn’t look that good.”

“….”

A scene inside a workshop where acrid smoke and heat rise simultaneously harassing people.

The faces of people desperately trying to negotiate while sweating profusely do not look very pleasant.

But Cyberde shook his head at Lennok’s words.

“It’s not at that level. The temperature inside the workshop continues to rise little by little. “As a craftsman this is a fatal problem that should never be overlooked.”

As metals and equipment that are sensitive to heat are handled maintaining the temperature inside the workshop at an appropriate level is a very important issue.

Installing ventilation vents inside and outside the furnace and decorating the interior of the workshop to ensure good ventilation is also an extension of that work.

“We tried installing additional ventilation vents on the roof of the workshop and forcibly lowering the furnace power but it didn’t solve the problem at all.”

“…Was that why there were a bunch of pipes stuck on the roof of the workshop?”

“I asked my classmates for advice but they just told me nonsense about drinking in moderation.”

“….”

“I heard that Narcissa’s craftsman recommended you to the consulting industry so I visited your workshop to see if we could solve the problem.”

“Uhm….”

Cybed spoke in a strong tone to Lennok who was worried.

“If you solve this problem not only will I give your workshop a few lucrative requests but I will personally introduce you to other craftsmen.”

“….”

“I will do my best to help you establish yourself in the Advanced Workshop District. “I promise in the name of my father-in-law.”

When there was no answer Cyberd spoke again looking slightly impatient.

It seemed like a really important issue to him.

“It’s not a big problem but….”

Lennok said that then got up from his chair and pointed to the door.

“First I’d like to take a look inside the workshop. “Is that okay?”

* * *

Afterwards Lennok followed Cybud’s guidance and checked various parts of the facility including the workshop workbench ventilation roof and warehouse.

Cyberde was probably strict with his apprentices and whenever he appeared the craftsmen who were working hard were seen to be very nervous.

Occasionally there were customers who would say hello to him but they would just nod their heads with a sour expression.

After circling the workshop Cybud immediately turned his gaze and asked Lennok.

“Can you see something?”

“….”

Lennok who was quietly lost in thought spoke.

“There are five furnaces.”

“yes.”

One on each side of the wall of the huge workshop. And on the wall facing north two furnaces are installed in a row.

There are at least two craftsmen per brazier busy working in front of each brazier.

Didn’t Lennok and Mouser also work together without a problem even with just one furnace?

This was proof that the scale of Cyberd’s attack was enormous.

“Even large-scale workshops usually do not have more than three furnaces.”

“Is that the problem?”

Cyberd said looking slightly disappointed.

“That can’t be possible. “It was two years ago that we increased the number of furnaces to five and temperature control was smooth until at least a month ago.”

As it is the largest facility that emits heat in the workshop Cybride also inspected the furnace first.

We lowered the temperature of the furnace inspected the vent called a furnace facility management company and even disassembled it right in front of our eyes.

“There was a time when one furnace stopped working for as long as three days. “But the temperature doesn’t go down.”

Cyberd immediately sighed deeply.

“If we couldn’t find the problem that’s okay. You made me go a long way. Stop now…”

“Before increasing the number of furnaces to five.”

Lennok interrupted him and asked:

“Hasn’t there ever been a case where the temperature in the workshop has gone down before?”

“….”

Cybud’s eyes seemed to widen for a moment as if he had heard a completely unexpected question.

“That’s right. To be precise the heat from the brazier itself had waned so I overexerted myself a bit and built another brazier. How did you do that…”

“That was it. “I think I understand now.”

“You think you know the problem?”

Lennok nodded towards Cyberd who asked hastily.

“The temperature inside the workshop did not rise or fall due to the number of furnaces. “It’s a matter of when the furnace was created.”

“What on earth is that….”

“It is true that the furnace was the cause but it is highly likely that the fundamental cause that caused this situation was not the furnace.”

Lennok said and slightly looked away.

“Someone who knows this workshop facility as well as the craftsman secretly worked on it.”

As Lennok gestured to the sight of Cyvid’s disciples busy working in front of the five-pronged brazier Cyvid’s expression hardened.

“The culprit is inside here.”
