I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

212 – Part 2 Episode 40, What is the development of technology…

Recently, several revolutions are taking place in this world.

It has been about 20 years since the steam engine revolution occurred, so we have slowly entered an era of serial discovery and invention rush.

On Earth, it happened much faster and more spectacularly.

However, in this world, because there is a substitute called magic, it seems to be happening a little late and quietly.

For example, things about the engine were a bit plain.

On Earth, petroleum, a fossil fuel, is fractionally distilled into gasoline, kerosene, and diesel and used as fuel for engines, right?

However, in this world, rather than using fossil fuels, things that do not exist on Earth, such as magic stones or fossils, are used.

A magic stone is a stone in which magic power is concentrated, so if you split it or make a hole, the magic power continues to escape.

It seems that the main method being developed is to make the magical power emit fire through a magic circle and operate the engine through fire power.

A fossil is literally a rock that breathes fire.

This thing also spews fire if you split it or make a hole in it.

Since it can be mined indefinitely in volcanic areas, it is sold very cheaply.

Therefore, it is mainly used to make deteriorated plates of inventions.

In this way, it seems a little plain because it is developing in a slightly different direction than Earth.

In the first place, household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners do not seem to be developing because they can be used with magic tools.

“Personally, I hope cars develop quickly.”

“Is it a car? Personally, I’m a little scared so I’m reluctant to ride it.”

Stella seems to hate cars.

They think that using things like magic stones and fossils as fuel is not very good for safety, and they seem to be a little scared of the fact that if you ride a car, the reason for the existence of horses disappears, so there is no reason to keep them.

“Don’t worry. Even if the reason for the horse’s existence disappears, there is nothing you can do to keep the horse.”

“Really…?”

“There’s no way you can’t keep your wife’s favorite animal, right?”

And it will still take several decades for a car that can be properly driven to be mass-produced.

At this stage, it is at the level of a patent motorwagen made by Carl Bench.

Was it the world’s first gasoline car?

Should I call it a car or a chair with wheels? Anyway, it’s still at that level, so it’s still a long way before horses take away their jobs.

“But as automobiles continue to develop, the number of people riding carriages or horseback riding will decrease.”

“Then Stella, let’s buy all the horses that don’t ride and raise them all, right?”

“Hehe, that would be nice, but there are too many of them and I can’t keep them.”

At the same time, Stella was leaning on my shoulder while enjoying a very pleasant imagination.

In her imagination, she would see a landscape where the yard and stables were all filled with horses.

“Well… the development of science changes people, so change is inevitable.”

“That’s right… I’m feeling that the most… I shouldn’t act foolishly because of my greed, right?”

In Stella’s hand, she was holding a rechargeable ballpoint pen that I had given her as a gift not long ago.

Since I started using it, I haven’t used a feather pen at all.

Plus, it’s not disposable, it’s rechargeable!

There is no reason to hold on to a quill pen anymore because you can keep writing until the pen breaks.

Even if the fifth and final pen breaks, wouldn’t Stella go out to buy a ballpoint pen instead of a feather pen?

To that extent, development makes people quickly accustomed to it.

“It wasn’t just the ballpoint pen, it was the wheel as well.”

“That’s right! The recently changed wheels are very comfortable!”

Stella responded brilliantly by holding onto my shoulder, saying that she finally remembered.

This time, the wheels of the carriage were changed from wooden wheels to rubber tire wheels.

Did you usually ride a carriage with wooden wheels?

But recently, a wagon broke down in front of our house, and all the groceries to be sent to the church headquarters were left in front of our house, right?

Then he came to my house with a new carriage.

At that time, he said he was really grateful and gave us a new carriage.

The carriage was a new carriage that not only had suspension but also had rubber tires on its wheels.

Originally, I had to cast a shock-relieving spell on the carriage to reduce the rattling, but now the interior has become considerably more comfortable without using such a spell.

In addition, I cast a shock-relieving spell on it, so I thought it was standing still.

I was so confident that my next carriage trip would be really comfortable and safe.

“West! We need to buy those carriages in bulk and have them used at the church headquarters!”

“Hmm… But permission will be given at the cardinals meeting…”

It’s not that there’s a salty old man as a cardinal….

I don’t think my sister-in-law, who is conscientious about the budget that comes from the people’s taxes, would allow me to invest that much money in a carriage.

Stella would know this well as she is her own sister.

How cruel the execution is.

“I’m sure you’ll understand, too. There are a lot of people going on business trips or dispatched to the church’s headquarters, so a comfortable carriage is a must!”

“Uhm…”

It’s not…

There is a 100% chance that the carriage you are using now is sufficient, so there is no need to buy something like that! Holy woman! Hero! I can clearly see that.

I’ve been through it once before…

“I have to lose to get my money’s worth… Shall we go and ask?”

“Go right now!”

“Now…now?”

Stella, leaving behind the time spent alone in the office, is about to go to ask her brother-in-law for a favor.

I had no choice but to hold hands with her and head to the church headquarters.

*

“No.”

“….”

“Sister~”

“You can’t say no~”

Naturally, Stella explained this and that, but she cut him off and said that execution would not be possible.

As I expected, the reason was why buy a new one when it was in good condition.

That’s right…

People at the religious headquarters are clergy, so they must live frugally.

Are you building a new car with suspension and rubber wheels just to make it more comfortable?

Anyone can see that it is just a luxury.

That’s the cardinal at the headquarters of the religious order.

The executioner, who has the most say in the cardinals, would never allow that.

“In the first place, the saintess never goes out to work, right?”

“But~ Even if I don’t go out, other people do.”

“No. It’s just expensive for no reason.”

“It’s not… It’s effective…”

Looking at it like this, it looks like a mature older sister and a more foolish younger sister.

…isn’t it?

It’s just an older sister and a younger younger sister, right?

“Now, you’re busy, so we should go back soon, right? The saintess is busy too, right?”

“Hey….”

With that feeling, Stella and I were kicked out of the office.

But it is true that Stella was busy too, so I had no choice but to leave without saying anything in response.

“Should I just go back and do some work?”

“It’s a shame…”

I also feel regretful.

I was able to see more of Stella’s cute side!

I can’t believe I was kicked out so quickly.

***

And the advancement of technology has brought new changes to our homes.

You normally light up your house using magic lights, right?

However, the magic light has the inconvenience of having to turn the power on and off at the magic light in the factory.

We have maids at our house, but it is never easy to do it every time.

So this time I decided to change to magic headlights.

You can construct magic headlights and turn them on and off by attaching a switch to the wall.

Of course, it is an expensive and burdensome item that requires construction.

If construction is done at home, it is noisy and pets or babies may wake up.

“Hehe, it doesn’t matter because we just need to install soundproofing magic in Luna’s room.”

“I never imagined that sound blocking magic would be so helpful.”

Sound blocking magic… was mostly used at night when doing those dirty things.

So, this is my first time using it this way.

Because soundproofing magic is basically not a magic that humans can use.

It’s one of the few types of magic that can only be used if you put it in a magic tool.

Normally, it has the effect of preventing noise from going out to the walls around the magic tool.

However, the expensive sound insulation magic we use not only prevents noise from going outside, but also prevents other noise from coming inside.

So I stayed up late at night…mmmm.

You can use it to make the second one.

“But what about at night…?”

“What is it?”

“Because… it’s in Luna’s room…”

Stella clung to me while twisting her body.

I thought about it carefully to see what he was trying to say…

That’s right.

Sister Stella is embarrassed and asks how she can make a second child at night without magic tools.

Is it possible to have a second child soon?

As I’ve been holding back for so long, I thought I was reaching my limit.

“Hmm… I’ll get one.”

“yes…”

Stella then squeezed my hand.

Since I knew roughly what I wanted, I gently placed my hot lips on hers.
