Overpowered in Domestic Affairs with a Production Skill ~ Bringing Happiness from the Frontier Through Craftsmanship - Fan Translated Web Novel - Chapter 104: Materials for Magic Stones

The character name is not finalized. The character name will be fix once the official light novel is release.

Upon arriving at the Fairchild family mansion in the Royal Capital, I returned to my room and flopped onto the bed. Naturally, what came to mind was the Magic Stones. It can’t be helped that they are used for weapons, but I wonder if I can somehow make them usable as tools for daily life. I will wait for Erica-sensei to contact me regarding the results of the experiment to stabilize them by absorbing the liquid into diatomaceous earth.

The other issue that must be resolved to use Magic Stones for daily tools is the scarcity of the Empty Stones that serve as the raw material. Magic Stones contain a large amount of magic power. Something small that hides a massive amount of magic power. I feel like I’ve seen something like that somewhere…

That’s it, Magic Cores! Magic Cores hide massive magic power despite being small. Of course, since they are shrouded in miasma, they don’t seem likely to become the basis for daily tools. But if it’s a purified Magic Core, it might be usable.

I spoke about that idea to Father, who had returned to the mansion. “Purified Magic Cores, is it…? So you were making even those.” “No, I didn’t make them; they were purified by the power of the World Tree.” “Haha, you are humble as always. It was likely the power of the World Tree that purified them, but isn’t it something that was realized because Will became the Savior?”

“I wonder about that. Also, I apologize for not reporting this until now, as I didn’t know what purified Magic Cores could be used for.” “Ah, it’s no problem that you didn’t report it. After all, we weren’t even able to share information about the World Tree until recently.” Father placed his hand on my head and smiled. “I want you to produce freely from now on, Will. I appreciate it if you report to me, but you don’t have to consult me on every little thing.” “Thank you, Father.”

I am grateful that Father is such a good understanding figure. “You can rest assured that His Majesty shares my view. Well, I think His Majesty also calculates that having Will act freely will yield more results and benefit the country.” A purely good-natured person probably couldn’t serve as a King. I think His Majesty Edgar II balances calculation and kindness very well. That must be the reason he is called a wise ruler.

“Father, I would like to return to the workshop in Northernford tomorrow and test whether purified Magic Cores can be used as material for Magic Stones.” “Since the audience with His Majesty concluded without issue and it seems you have finished inheriting the production methods from Master Erica, I don’t mind. However, since Magic Stones seem to be dangerous items, please be extremely careful.” “Thank you. I will be careful about safety.”

The next day, I returned to the workshop in Northernford via Teleportation Magic. Entering the underground storage, I took out one purified Magic Core. Recalling what Erica-sensei taught me, I first activated the Production Skill to turn it into a Magic Vessel. However, the skill did not activate. I tried several times, but it didn’t work.

Thinking it might be possible, I tried pouring magic power directly into it. Then, I was able to pour the magic power. When I poured fire magic, it glowed red. When I Appraised it, it displayed: “Magic Stone (Fire): High Quality, No Risk of Explosion.”

It seems purified Magic Cores can be used in the same way as Magic Vessels. And “No Risk of Explosion,” huh? Unlike ordinary Magic Stones, this probably means it won’t explode with just a slight impact. This is a vital property. Is it thanks to being purified by the power of the World Tree?

Let’s try testing it myself a little. Since it says “No Risk of Explosion,” it should be fine. Erica-sensei undertook the dangerous experiment to stabilize ordinary Magic Stones, but I can’t ask Sensei to do every experiment. Besides, I cannot speak to Sensei about the purification by the World Tree.

I moved to a vast grassland in the suburbs using Teleportation Magic. Even if it explodes here, it should be fine. Just in case, I changed into clothes enchanted with protective properties. I gently took the Magic Stone made from a purified Magic Core out of the subspace of my Storage Magic. Then, using arm strength enhanced by Body Enhancement Magic, I threw it far away.

I braced myself to teleport if it looked dangerous, but the stone hit the ground far out in the grassland and did not explode. “Alright!” I have created something good. When I reported to Father later, he appreciated the result, but I was scolded for conducting a potentially dangerous experiment alone.
