Chapter 40

I chisel away the tree and paint them .

A large box made of wood is created .

The top part has a face on it . This too falls into the Ortem in the broadest sense .

Once I get the wheels that I made with Shibi yesterday, it will be complete .

Whew, its done!

Its a four-wheeled wooden carriage, named Ortem Trolley .

In this village, the value of vegetables is high .

Its because of the geology that makes it hard to cultivate as a field, and because of the magic weed that ruins the field so quickly .

Now that I have some money to spare thanks to the incense leaf, I decided to build a tractor to develop my farming business .

This Ortem Trolley is the first step .

He is planning to improve this more and more, and eventually build an Ortem tractor that can cut grass, mix dirt, and even shoot magic beams .

First of all, I want it to be operable by anyone as long as they charge the magic .

This is the first difficulty .

I had a concept for a long time, but I had given up on it because I didnt think I could get the materials at all .

But I can get a lot of rare ores now .

Capital is justice .

Th-, this! This really works, doesnt it?! You can ride it, cant you?!

Gizel said excitedly, approaching the Ortem Trolley .

Oh, you can ride and move . Even Gizel, youve seen me turning the wheel with magic during the experimental phase, havent you?

WWow! Its amazing! Id love to ride it!

However, in a world where there is magic, I didnt expect she would be surprised with just a trolley .

You can find these scattered about on earth .

Nevertheless, Its not like I dont understand the feeling .

Im honestly a little excited about a ride on wheels that I havent seen in a while .

Its been 16 years since Ive seen it, and I made it myself .

I feign equanimity in order to maintain my dignity as a brother, but I feel like dancing right now .

I would love to live up to Gizels expectations right now, but I cant do that .

Hmm Just a little more, I still need to perform a safety checks after all .

Ehh How, how much longer?

I wish one more week . There might be an unexpected blind spot .

I, I see

You dont have to look so disappointed . .

His mind wavers for a moment, but he shakes his head to dismiss the thought .

Dont let your guard down . How many car accidents have there been in previous lives?

The reason I died in the first place was due to a car accident, for example .

Much less, this Ortem trolley is in the process of being adjusted .

As long as you dont go too fast, youll be fine, but accidents are the result of such carelessness .

As long as you dont speed up, youll be finebut then youll ease up and say, This much is fine, a little more is fine .

Im confident that if Gizel is screeching and giggling beside me, my mind will loosen up more and more .

Okay, brother, lets speed up some more may even happen .

If anything happens to Gizel, Ill regret it for the rest of my life .

Well get Gizel on board much later .

For a while, I rode it on my own, going through a lot of trial and error, finding out the flaws, and applying them .

However, Gizels obsession with the Ortem Trolley to this extent was surprising .

I have an image that men like this kind of thing more .

Shibi used to stare at the paper with drooling eyes when she saw the plans for completion .

By the way, Shibi said that today is the day that they pray to the spirit of their Ardy family ancestors .

Its like a Bon Festival or a Buddhist service in a previous life .

Since today was the scheduled completion date of the Ortem Trolley, Shibi was trying to skip it by any means possible .

In fact, in the morning, Shibi came over here .

Abel-san, Abel-san! I managed to use Ortem as bait to outsmart my father and get out!

Is what he said, but when I found Garia, who was leading the way to my house, his face suddenly changed into a sobbing face .

Apparently, Garia was one better .

As it was, Shibi was dragged away by Garia .

I turned to face Shibis house and gently lowered my head .

Brother, is something the matter?

No, I figured Shibi would have wanted to be there for the completion .

Well give him a ride as soon as were sure its safe .

Its dangerous to let them run in the settlements because stray filo might jump out at them .

Maybe Ill use magic to lighten it up, push it and carry it near the forest, then use magic to move the wheel .

I think it would be better if I could run it slowly and move it, but I just finished it today .

There may be something unexpected .

Its never too much to be alarmed about . Lets go there with safety first .

But theres one problem .

Even if it was lightened by magic, if I was walking while pushing this trolley, I would run out of strength on the way and fall down .

Should I ask Gizel?

However, my dignity as a brother . .

Shall I give up my dignity in this direction now?

Its too late for me because Im powerless .

I even tried to do a little bit of strength training and stuff to get better, but I was literally a three-day shyster .

Gizel is always happy to do this when I ask her for help .

Im happy to be able to rely on Gizel, too .

In order to deepen the relationship between siblings, it is important to rely on them in moderation .

Brother Um

What is it?

A, After youre done with safety confirmation, please let me ride it first! Before Firo-san Before Shibi-san rides it Is it not possible?

Dont worry, thats what I plan on doing . Its just that its small for the wheels, and it might be a little cramped for two people to ride it .

This Ortem Trolley is completely magic controlled .

In the future, Id like to be able to operate it by anyone as long as its activated, but right now Im the only one who can drive it .

Inevitably, Im going to be on board .

No, Its fine! Rather, it could be even narrower!

Gizel says as she grabs my clothes tightly .

um, youre a little too close .

I, Is that so

She looked a little disappointed .

It looks like theres still some way to go before Gizel separates with his brother .

Im happy when I see Gizel acting this way, but at the same time, I feel uneasy .

Gizel will soon be fourteen years old .

At this rate, She may not be able to leave her brother even after the coming-of-age ceremony .

After I get back from adjusting the Ortem Trolley . Ive taken a look at Gizels eyes . Maybe Ill consult my father .

Ive been thinking about talking to him about it someday, but Ive been postponing it .
