16. Shaiza Invention Shop (3)

A jumping bee that has absorbed a lot of the essence of magic gardening. Strawberries that absorbed the mana emitted by such a bee beyond their limit, boasted the size of a watermelon, and hardened to the strength of a pumpkin rind. It could no longer be called a strawberry. It is a material made by taking advantage of the characteristics of a material called “Strawberry without water” That is greatly influenced by the surroundings to the limit.

“Wow… It’s really solid. But can scented candles be made with this?”

“Don’t be fooled by the appearance of strawberries. It’s something that has already ceased to be a strawberry in its nature. As I said, you can think of it as strawberry-shaped beeswax.”

A large strawberry that had been cut in half was sliced into thin slices along with Nishia and stuffed into a glass bottle. About 14 bottles were completed like that, and it was dissolved by putting the bottle in boiling water.

While working, Nishia was constantly shaking her shoulders. I thought she was happy to be able to make money, but it was unfounded. Just making things in a way she had never seen before was what excited Nishia.

Around the time the candles were all melted, he tore up the flowers he picked while visiting the studio and dropped them into a glass bottle. Due to the characteristics of strawberries that are affected by the surroundings, by the time the beeswax is all hardened, it will be slightly colored with the color of that flower.

I’ll have to bring another item to change the color perfectly, but I don’t have the money to buy one.

Finally, I cut long strips of the “Moist tree bark” That had been coated with oil, and inserted them one by one into a bottle containing melted beeswax. Now that will serve as a wick.

“All right. Let it dry for a day or so and you’re done. Let’s go to Nishia”

“Yes? Where are you?”

“I should go get strawberries and tree bark. I know the source of supply.”

Nishia follows me as if she can’t help it, but turns her back and glances at the glass bottle containing the melted candle. It’s sad that it ends like this. After I gave Nishia the plausible words that she should be able to enjoy waiting as well. I packed my bag and headed for the forest in District 6.

It was time to supply moist tree bark and strawberries in the forest of District 6. Nishia, who was picking strawberries in the dry land, spits out words that will make you feel dizzy.

“I wish I could grow strawberries that have lost moisture.”

“It is not that there is no way to cultivate it, but it does not suit this land. Cultivation requires intentionally creating dead ground. Seeds grow only in dead soil. It’s not common in a land like this, but sometimes dried berries come out, so there’s no other way than to aim for them like now.”

“Uhm, then shall we research a way to kill the land?”

It’s like making a big noise casually. If you go to the wasteland area, you can get a large amount of “Strawberry without moisture”, And you can grow strawberries in dry land. However, I wonder if there is a need to plant strawberries, even while killing the land that is rich in life.

Practicality is also a problem, but Nishia’s attitude to casually influence nature is a problem. Because I love the environment Absolutely not. Because of her own experiments, Nicia was too indifferent to the impact of going around.

This is also the part where Nishia is resolved after going through the Laughter Syndrome incident in Part 1, Act 6. While experimenting with her, she felt responsible after Nishia, who lacked responsibility for the results she would create, created an epidemic. He will grow one step as a scientist.

The problem is that when I came into contact with Nishia, the Laughter Syndrome incident itself disappeared. That means that. Nishia, who has not yet suffered his failure, is likely to stage something similar to the Laughing Syndrome incident with careless post-processing.

Wouldn’t the Laughter Syndrome itself be something that wouldn’t have happened if only one investigation had been conducted before the bees were released?

At the time of Act 6 of Part 1, fortunately, a non-dangerous disease such as Laughter Syndrome was created, but what will be created next is unknown.

It seems I have to educate Nishia myself. I don’t want to be a kkondae, but I can’t help it. It’s best to make a big failure to fix an inadvertent part, but Nicia’s case is so big that it’s better to be careful on my own line.

“Nishia, this is enough.”

“Going back already? The bag is still empty… “

“If it’s not enough, I’ll come again. Let’s go back now. Wolves come out at night and it is dangerous.”

Returning to her workshop in Nishia, I called her after properly arranging the materials she had supplied.

“Nishia, have you ever thought about what will happen as a result of your experiments?”

“What will happen? Well. I guess I was just expecting what the outcome would be.”

“I see. Nishia, follow me for a second.”

I took Nishia, walked 10 minutes, and found her clearing. Maybe it’s because it’s a place where trash from the forest of past explorations gathered. It was a very filthy place, with not a single blade of grass growing, animal bones everywhere, and pieces of garbage all over the place.

I was familiar with this place because it was the summoning point of the lower undead in Part 1, Act 7, Denas Yeseul.

“Why did you come to this place?”

“I came because I want to ask you something. I guess it’s because there are too many bees. I’ll leave the materials behind. Like before, apply oil to the skin, put strawberries and bees in it, tie it up, and throw away about ten lumps here.”

“Yes? Is it really necessary?”

Nishia looks at me in a puzzled way. I just looked at her and smiled at her.

“We must do it within today. Got it?”

“That… I would do it if… Um, I see.”

“Okay. Then I’ll go back now, so let’s meet as soon as we finish class tomorrow.”

Nishia nodded her head helplessly.

After class, I quickly handled the greenhouse work and headed to Nisia’s workshop. During her lecture, Professor Marina May kept sending her twinkling eyes, and she was about to tell her that she would stop by tonight and give her a gift. Marina May liked it enough that if I didn’t stop by today, it would be a big deal.

‘I have to wrap it up today.’

With such thoughts in mind, I entered Nishia’s studio, and saw Nishia sniffing at a glass bottle containing hardened scented candles.

“Sir! Welcome. This is finished, right? Yes?”

“Where… I think this is good enough. From the next work, I will order a glass bottle with a good shape and save the atmosphere.”

“I see! Shall we sell it right away?”

“No.”

I picked up a glass bottle containing scented candles and handed it to Nishia.

“I have to test it. Try it out tonight and sell it if you like it. I intend to bring a few bottles and try them out today.”

“Okay. Then what shall we do today?”

“Let’s rest today. Because I have something I want to say to you.”

I said that and brought a chair in front of the table and sat down.

“Nishia, I think you need to think about the impact of the things you create.”

“Influence? Well. I experiment with the idea that if it is made, it is made, or if it is not made.”

“Really? It would be quicker to show it directly. Come with Nishia.”

Leaving Nishia and her workshop, I talked to her while looking straight ahead.

“Nishia von Orisha. From what I can see, you seem to be doing research on various diseases.”

“Right. There is a related book, so you couldn’t have known about it.”

“What do you think will happen if you create a pathogen and inject it into a bee?”

“Yeah… As they move from one to the other, they’ll create new pathogens. It’s because I bought the bee for that. I know that.”

Nishia said so casually.

“I see. What do you think will happen if the infected bees are leaked outside?”

“Pathogens are not that powerful. Also, as senpai said yesterday, bees, by eating other food, change the nature of the magical power accumulated in their bodies. Then, naturally, the pathogen disappears. That’s what an infected bee is like.”

“Yes, that is the correct answer. Then, what would happen if there were 300 diseased bees?”

“That… ah!”

I nodded her head and beckoned Nishia up the hill.

“They will spread the disease by moving from one to the other. Since it is enough to share nutrients with each other, there is no need to feed outside, so the pathogens will be maintained. Nishia, we must always think about how our actions will affect the world.”

“Yeah, but… Could something big happen?”

“We are people who use magic knowledge to change the world. That is why it is impossible to predict what will happen. That’s why you always have to be careful. So, go up the hill.”

Nishia tilts her head in puzzlement as she quietly climbs the hill. You’re probably thinking over what I said. I put her in front and slowly walked behind her. By the time she had crossed all the hills.

“Seo, senior… This.”

“It is an influence that happened because you and I came together.”

“Ha… But this… Nonsense. How.”

Nishia opens her mouth wide and rubs her eyes, unable to believe what she sees in front of her eyes. The place Nishia is looking at is the empty lot she heard yesterday. Wasn’t it a filthy place with pieces of trash everywhere, not a single blade of grass growing, and animal bones all over the place?

A new wind blew in that empty lot. It was full of pretty white flowers. As if to bless the birth of her life, it has become a very beautiful place where bees and butterflies are dancing.

The messy garbage was hidden from view by the grass holding its head stiffly. In front of the strawberry flowers, two foxes were playing, spinning round and round, aiming for each other’s tails.

When the wind blows, instead of the stench stinging her nose that she had felt until yesterday, a fresh strawberry scent spreads.

“The magical strawberries and bees saved the land. Nishia, did you expect a picture like this until you came to throw away the bees piled up on the tree bark?”

“Oh, no. This… “

“Yes. Something unexpected happened. That’s what I said. What we do, whether we like it or not, can have unforeseen consequences.”

Saying that, she and Nishia moved to the place where the flowers bloomed.

“From now on, delicious raspberries will grow here. Maybe we can harvest this later and try to make a new invention.”

“Senior Woros… “

“Well, in preparation for unpredictable results next time, you should always be careful. It’s time to explain at length, but it doesn’t seem necessary.”

Nishia looks at me and nods her head slowly. She then sits on her knees in front of the strawberry flowers and smells her scent. Nishia should have known by now. What kind of dangers do she have in discovering new facts using magical knowledge?

Actually, most of the scenarios of Where Shaiza is involved feel like that, so I am well aware of the danger.

If it’s Nishia now, there won’t be any unfunny incidents like a mass infection of Laughter Syndrome. She released the bee without much thought in her original part, but if Nishia were to be in that situation now, she would think about what would happen if she released the bee, find the best way to deal with the bee, and deal with the bee. After that, I will keep a close eye on the situation.

“Unexpected results… Miracles do happen.”

“If it works out well, it’s a miracle, and if it turns out badly, it’s a disaster. Magical knowledge must have developed that way.”

“A miracle if it works out well… Disaster if it turns out badly… Senior, can a miracle happen to me too?”

Nishia said that while looking at me with sparkling eyes. As she has shown so far, her eyes are not sparkling with the excitement of creating something new. She is sending a sad look as if she desperately wants something.

Nishia knows. That she doesn’t live long. Because she knows it, she overdoes it and she studies pathogens. She wondered if she could cure her disease. Every day she dreams of miracles and experiments.

If it turns out badly, it will be a disaster. Wasn’t this also something Nicia couldn’t hear with a smile? She must be Nishi, who got sick after an experiment conducted to revive her family went badly. I avoided her gaze and looked up at the sky.

“Miracle is usually something that happens when you can’t predict it, but for some reason, I think I can assert it this time.”

A miracle is a miracle because it does not come easily, because the impossible happened. As you know, Nishia von Orisha will die soon. That’s why, she said, her miracles in front of her don’t come easily. She couldn’t say that.

“Isn’t that what we do? It’s about chasing miracles.”

The words I speak now will have a great impact on Nicia von Orishiae’s life. Still, I couldn’t stop.

“If you don’t give up, miracles will happen.”

My thoughts to Nishia. She said a wish I have witnessed Nisia’s death from the beginning in . So, what I said now is not to be taken lightly. Now, with this word, my work has been decided.

“If there is anything I can help with, I will help.”

I swore to myself that in this place, I would save Nicia von Orisha from her death.
