Downey and Sebas Want to Protect Kaito
(As expected… that child is sharp. Too sharp.
Where did he learn all that? How can he read books when he hasn’t even been taught? Could it be… a gift from the Goddess of Ikaruda?)
“Your doubts are only natural, Master. I too found it strange. I believe it is highly likely that this is a gift from the Goddess of Ikaruda.”
“… Mm. You think so too, Sebas? That this as well is a gift from the Goddess of Ikaruda… That may very well be the case. Otherwise, I simply cannot explain it.”
“Yes, that is my conclusion as well.”
“Then… taking that possibility into account, we must proceed carefully in how we reveal to the world what Kaito thinks up and creates.”
“Indeed. That is absolutely correct.”
“Now then, Sebas, about this ‘chawan.’ Shall we go ahead and have a sample made?”
“Of course. Shall I proceed with the arrangements?”
“Why not? It’s only speculation for now, but actually trying it out and testing its usability would be worthwhile. Even if it fails, that too becomes a lesson. We can use it for the next attempt. We could also place a request with Montreux again, couldn’t we?”
“Yes, let us commission Montreux.”
“Now then, Sebas… is there nothing else Amana wished to ask of me?”
“No, that is all.”
“(I see… so she didn’t ask me to reduce my workload? Of course, I can’t have her showing that pleading pose to another man… but still, it’s a little disappointing that she didn’t ask me to spend more time with her. Both my mood and… well, that side of me… have deflated a bit.)
I understand. Then what about Kaito’s request?”
“Yes. He wishes to visit the workshop in order to create the chawan. It seems that the specific shape exists only in Young Master Kaito’s mind, so he would like to give direct instructions. What are your thoughts?”
“… Hmm. As a parent, I want to let him go. But… I also think it would be better to keep Kaito’s knowledge a secret for now.
However, it is likely that Kaito will continue to invent things and create new items in the future. What do you think, Sebas?”
“Yes… indeed. If I may be so bold as to offer my opinion… just as you say, Master, Young Master Kaito will surely continue to create many things using his knowledge. It seems the Goddess of Ikaruda has entrusted him with the mission of enriching the Marsh territory… and even the food of this world.”
“… Yes. That sounds right. In that case, summon Montreux. From now on, Montreux will be the one to produce what Kaito wishes to create. For that, we shall bind him with contract magic.”
“Indeed. Through contract magic, we can ensure confidentiality, exclusivity, and appropriate compensation, arranging matters so that both sides benefit. Shall I proceed, Master?”
