Chapter 2 - 13 Counterfeit Skill in Commercial City, Einzhale

I believe I was sleeping.
I should have been sleeping but a strong impact runs through on my head, and when I awake, there is Reinrich who was smiling.

[What a nice sleep you have. Alchemy room is not something that you should experience spring youth.] (Reinrich)
[It’s misunderstanding.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Is that so? So, you've got a chance of winning?] (Reinrich)
[Oh, I have already bought her] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[That’s quite fast. There still some day left for deadline through. Well, it’s convenient for me. Until day that your competition end, you can use this room with that cat girl but these two adventurers must sleep on their inn from now on.] (Reinrich)

Ah, it's nice to be able to use this room together with Shiro, but it's convenient ...?
Is this person thinking something again?! It is frightening.

[Also, don't be alone on the public until Yashisu returns.] (Reinrich)
[Hmm? why?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[If you have death wish, it’s fine. Do as you wish. That would make me more profitable too. But you don’t want to die. Right?] (Reinrich)

This is totally look like how villain saying, Reinrich.

[I-I see. I will be here. Thank you for your advice] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hmm, it's not like that. Since you got up, so why don't you start a quick job. It's 20 years early for a young guy to go to slack off.] (Reinrich)
[Am I awake or get awaken or make me awake? ......] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Don’t talk back to me. Ah, it wasn't as if I couldn't do something about the house.] (Reinrich)
[Really? Reinrich! Are you god?!] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[That's right. I am God! If you understand, work as I was told. It would be a big mistake if you thought you would get a house for free!] (Reinrich)

Ok. Ok. If things are like that, it’s different story.
Hey myself, let’s try put motivation onto this!
Then, by the way, it will be alchemy starting from morning as well!
I think I'm working more than when I was in the original world.
But in this world, I can make money by how far I do work.
If there is no overtime work, and no rush to deadline, that will be heaven.

Aina, Solte and Shiro are still sleeping, but let's get started.
It was difficult to pull it off because Shiro was clinging to me when I got up.
Aina and Solte were leaving my pillow and curled for some time, but it may have been uncomfortable.
I feel sorry about this, but I can't help it.

For the time being, let's first make a vibrator with existing materials for Yashisu debt repayment.
It seems better to have a wide variety of sizes and shapes. Shall I make while I am being happy?
I've become accustomed after having made 10 of them already, and I can now easily make ratios on complicated design.
There are 20 empty magic stone remaining in me so let’s me 20 of them.
For 20 pieces, it is 1 million Nord. If I include magic power, it will be 1.02 million Nord.
Considering normally, it's quite expensive.
But if it is Yashisu, he will sell it to aristocrats or someone like that so there will be no problem.

While thinking like that, one piece is completed.
I pour magic power into the magic stone and confirm the activation.
Yup. It looks okay.
It vibrates rapidly and does not get hot.
It's nice that it sells for 50,000 Nord.
I'll make more and more!

That was when I finished making the fifteenth piece.

『 Alchemy skill level has reached 8. New skill <Multi-copy skill - Counterfeit> has acquired』

Oh ... Has it gone up?
I know it, it rising quickly ......
I felt it faintly, but I think this speed of increase is not normal.
Is there something like drifter correction?
However, I do not have the cheat ability, such like increasing experience points.
I’m pretty sure, there was such a skill that shown for me to choose from the goddess, but it shouldn't be in me.

Well, it fine, I guess.
The higher the level is, the better for me, and I don't worry too much about premature death.
Let's appraise it for the time being.

【Alchemy Lv8 Counterfeit - Can duplicate the performance of the specified one. Material is consumed automatically. 】

Specification? ... I don't think it's a problem.
I was more interested than that, but if "specified things" and "materials are automatic", alchemy can be done in a storage space.
If I think like that, let’s try it first.

I deploy storage space that have a lot of vacancy.
From space no.0 to 9, each of every item are stored separately in each space of all spaces but I put all of them into one space.
Money that stored in no.7 space have used almost to Yashisu that I feel bad for being no.7 space is being almost empty.
For the time being, let’s put vibrators that recently made into no.2 space and put materials into no.3.
And I active <Multi-copy skill – Counterfeit>.
Materials in no.3 space is used up automatically and the finished product went into no.4 space.

I take out vibrator that produced with skill <Counterfeit> and use <Appraisal> on it.

《Vibrator - A tool for massaging. The purpose of use depends on the person. Producer - Kazuki Shinomiya》

When I applied more magical power and checked the frequency, the result is the same as the one I usually make.
I knew it.
There will a drop in quality of product, but I thought it was only to a plus value abilities in things, such as a brooch or necklace.
It seems that the performance of these products will probably be lower in counterfeiting because those vibrators have different performances depending on how it was being made.
In case if I duplicated a scoop, I thought that it would be impossible to reduce the ability to dig a hole.
Even if duplicating plate can’t reduce on amount that can place on it.
Then what will happen on vibrator?
There was a risk that the frequency would decrease, but it did not decrease because it does have ability 『Frequency +』.

There was a possibility that the size would be small, but in that case, I just need to increase size of original item.
This would be the perfect skill for lazy person like me!
Of course, it is necessary to pour magic to check finished product, but time can be greatly reduced.
What left after this will be disadvantage on the amount of MP consumed.
Consumption of MP making product using <Counterfeit> cost more 1.2 time than making it manually.
It is be a problem when replicating accessories, but this skill is sufficient enough for replicating the vibrator this time.

This skill gives more efficiency!
Let’s put finished ones into item bag and use remain material to create another 4 vibrators.
MP consumption is intense though, but after all, I will take a break and there is also a magic potion so let's do it without worry.
If this contest is over, this skill will be essential for making money.
Even through I don’t own a house, I have bought 2 slaves so I need to earn enough money for living.
There seems be that Reinrich has some idea, but depending only on that it will be useless, and also, I still want to have some money at hand.

In terms of efficiency alone, it would be good to mass-produce vibrators and wholesale them to Yashisu as soon as the materials I requested to tool store have arrived.
One bad thing is doing manual cost more physical exhaustion than MP.
Of course, I will continue to make accessories, but priority will be still the vibrator.
With this, I can make money without need to go outside of city to earn money.

[Hmm ... Lord. I'm hungry] (Shiro)

Shiro cling onto my back.
Apparently, she just wakes up. Even so, is a reminder for meal coming immediately?
I pick her with my hand the way as she currently was and put her on my lap.

[Wait a little longer. Now I’m busy with wok] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Work? You didn’t do anything.] (Shiro)
[Well, it will be going to end very soon.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[I’m hungry] (Shiro)

Shiro rise slowly onto me and bit my ear when she stands up for a while.
Are you hungry to that extent?

[I understand ... Is okay with usual stall?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hmm. no problem. I like meat] (Shiro)
[Sorry, but is it okay if you buy as many people as you want? For money, 100,000 Nord will be enough.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

It will be enough for Shiro eat as much as she want.

[Anything?] (Shiro)
[For me, I ask for anything except bug. You can buy other you like.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

There were also stall selling bug in the stalls after all.
I'll never eat on matter how much tasty it is.
It doesn't matter on being call on picky eater, I will absolutely not eat it.

[all right. I'll be back] (Shiro)
[You don't have to hurry. Don't come home while eating. If you want to eat, it will be together with everyone] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[……understand] (Shiro)

This girl, she is filled a will to eat while coming back...
However, Shiro is obedient after all. Once I say it, she will take it home and eat it.
She is good girl. Yup.
But she seems to be hungry so I'm sure she will be back in a hurry.
She is at age where she care more on food than sex appeal after all.

Shiro come back when Aina and Solte wake up and wash their face with basin in alchemy room.
Since I told them yesterday when I woke up, so I briefly explain them about Shiro while eating.

[I bought Shiro yesterday., I was doing alchemy at Yashisu’s place until the morning. I was tired, so I slept.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

I explain briefly them to the point they easily understand.
There is no more explanation to easier understand.
This is no confusing but only telling truth.
Well then, how they will react on this.

[Hey. Do you think it makes sense?] (Solte)

Solte’s eyebrows are twitching and it look like she is angry.

[What should I explain more than this?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[So, tell me why you slept together and why you bought this kid!] (Solte)
[Ah. I see. Reason was it? Hmm... I was sleeping because I was sleepy, and I didn't originally plan to buy white, but I buy her since she being nostalgic to me.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Wait a second. That’s explain a lot. Doesn’t it?
[Excuse me, Lord. Doesn’t Lord needs money now?] (Aina)
[Of course. I need a house and I'm still not enough] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[If so, this should not be time for using money. Right?] (Solte)

That's certainly true, but I'm sure it was just it was only late or early to buy Shiro.

[Hmm ... from Shiro helped me from ruffians yesterday. I couldn't have the two of you with me all the time, so speaking of needing your help, I needed yours.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hah?! Did you get attacked yesterday? In which place?] (Solte)
[It was near there. Not long I leave after guild yesterday. Then Shiro helped me.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hmm. Shiro is lord’s spear. Make sure to help the pinch of the Lord. Different from a dog] (Shiro)
[Who's a dog?! In the first place, it's not my fault that we couldn't go out yesterday because of him!] (Solte)

It appears these two are on bad terms.
In fact, Shiro is harsh.
Is main reason because of a dog and cat relationship?

[Oh, lord. I'll give this back. I asked Solte to use it for me, and it seemed to feel good.] (Aina)
It's pretty bad even just hearing those words.
I glanced in the direction of Solte and she throws me a bone she had been holding.
Shiro catches it and helps me.

[Thank you, Shiro] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hmm. Bones suit dogs well. Why don't you hold a bone, not a spear?] (Shiro)
[This cat calling for a fight. Right? Fine, I will take it.] (Solte)
[Solte. The other person is a child. Also, don't get up while eating. It will be dusty.] (Aina)
[Garuru. Don’t say that kind thing right now! What am I supposed to do with this out-of-control anger?!!] (Solte)
[dog. Patience is also needed. I tried not to nibble on my way home earlier] (Shiro)
[don’t try to compare me thing like that!] (Solte)

Wait a second. Do these two are in good terms?
It's hard to tell from other people's point of view when you're so close that you fight with each other.

[Anyway. Shiro will keep an eye on me, so if you don't mind, I'd like you two to concentrate on gathering materials.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[That's all well and good, but if you're on your own, are you going to let her sleep in the Alchemy Room too?] (Solte)
[I have permission from Reinrich, after all. That is, until the contest is over.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[... Are you going sleep together?] (Solte)
[will sleep. Shiro want to be near Lord.] (Shiro)
[Pervert!] (Solte)
[Wrong!] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Shiro is someone like kid.
Just sleep together with that kind of person make me called a pervert is too much harsh.

[Hey lord] (Aina)

Aina, speak to me with an anxious look on her face, clenched her fist in front of her chest, her eyebrows forming in the shape of “八”. (TLN: Since Arthur wrote about making kanji word like expression so I make it as kanji word instead of “hachi” which mean eight.)

[Does lord hate big-breasted woman?] (Aina)
[No, I love it] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[I-I see. Then, it’s fine. I think lord doesn’t like me since you are also good term with Solte] (Aina)
[Don't say something stupid. I prefer to be in feminine shape.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Obviously. From my point of view, neither Solte nor Shiro is not much different.
Solte is probably older in age, but she is also smaller in height and more childish than anything else.
She seems be a little older, but she is still like a child.
Just to add, I like small breasts and small butts with no problem.
After all, this feeling is like I like to eat both meat and vegetables.
Just because I like one of them doesn't make you hate the other.
Is it fine to like both of them?!

However, I am kind of guy who say it doesn't matter either way.
But there is no way for you. I can't have either one or the other.
She is not generous. She lacking respect!

They touched their own breasts and crossed their gazes to each other's chest.

[What……?] (Solte)
[Shiro is still in the growing season. It's going to be a bong bong eventually. But....] (Shiro)
[So, what!? I don't care about boobs!] (Solte)
[Don't be act like strong. There will not be competition if it was like cutting board.] (Shiro)
[Garuru! It's not a cutting board! There are some!] (Solte)
[The difference will be between 1 and 2. If you feel like it, come out. I'll take care of this poor dog.] (Shiro)
[Uwaa! I don't tolerate you just because of being a kid.] (Solte)

After all, are you guys on bad terms?
It appears it was my mistake.
Now, let's stop these two fighting.

[Aina. Stop them] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Me?! If lord say it, they will stop.] (Aina)

Hahahaha. Don’t say some unreasonable thing.
But if it only Shiro, I think I will be able to stop.

[Shiro. If you fight, you will miss dinner] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Yes. I won’t do] (Shiro)
[Hey?!] (Solte)
[Meal is important. More than a dog] (Shiro)
[I’m saying I’m not a dog! Oh already! What should I do with this anger?] (Solte)
[Alright. Then, do your best to collect materials. I've been wanting some good ore, so that's just fine.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Thumbs up here. I put my thumb up and wink.

[Hmm!! I understand! Let's go, Aina! Thanks for feast!!] (Solte)
[Oh, oh. Well, my lord. This is the ore from the last time.] (Aina)
[Oh, this is helpful. I have almost no material] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Then I will go too. Solte, wait a minute! Hey!] (Aina)

Aina runs out of the alchemy room after Solte.

[Well then] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[then?] (Shiro)
[I'm going to take another nap.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Hmm. Shiro also will.] (Shiro)

I was awake because I was awakened halfway.
I need to recover MP, so I'm going to sleep until those two get back.
Thus, I fall into sleep until the two of them returned, and I never imagined that when I woke up, I would find myself Solte curled up like a coiled worm with the best smiling I couldn’t ever imagine, in a daze.
