Episode 135. Laundry Magic
Laundry magic.
This magic, also called clean magic, was a magic that made dirty things clean.
At first glance, it looks easy, but in reality, it is one of those magics that is extremely difficult and complex.
It was also a magic for which there was a definite demand.
Adventurers and mercenaries.
For those who perform difficult tasks such as clearing dungeons, hunting, or subjugation, clean magic is one of the most important elements.
‘Clean magic isn’t just about making clothes clean.’
Monsters have a much better sense of smell than humans.
If you enter a dungeon without any preparation for the smell, the chances of being attacked will inevitably increase.
In particular, the blood of monsters was quite foul, so if it was not dealt with after the battle, there was a high possibility of being exposed to other monsters who smelled it.
‘It erases smells and traces. That’s the best effect of Clean Magic. This Clean Magic is essential for dungeon raiding and monster hunting.’
In addition, by paying thorough attention to hygiene, we were able to prevent damage caused by contamination.
‘But the clean magic used now all have different effects.’
Clean magic was a very ordinary magic. That’s why wizards didn’t focus on it or study it otherwise.
That’s why the effects were different for each.
‘This type of magic is considered low-level magic by wizards. It is often ignored.’
Some cleansing magics would erase monster blood but not other contaminants. Conversely, there were also cases where other things could be erased but not monster blood.
‘There are many cleaning magics that can’t remove stains. Since the effects are all different, it’s a hassle to use multiple cleaning magics.’
Clean magic that removes the blood of monsters.
Clean magic that removes other pollutants.
Clean magic that removes the saliva and stench of monsters.
It was a hassle, but I had to use different cleaning magics separately depending on my needs.
‘You can’t call that clean magic. The effects are all different.’
This business was inspired from there.
‘Since there is only a mediocre clean magic, people will be hoping for a clean magic that can erase all contaminants. If they can use such a clean magic, they will definitely buy it even if it is a little expensive.’
What if you could erase all pollution with just one spell?
What if you could erase smells and traces and keep things clean?
‘If a perfect clean magic appeared in an unsystematized market, it would literally be a game changer.’
“The demand for clean magic is certain. Right now, clean magic is being used using scrolls, but since each has a different effect, you have to carry around multiple scrolls. And the effects aren’t all that great either.”
“I heard that’s true. That’s why I heard they hire wizards, but I also heard that hiring wizards is very expensive.”
The price of wizards is more expensive than you might think. In addition, hiring a dedicated wizard to use clean magic is a significant expense.
Besides, being a wizard doesn’t mean that he has any clean magic better than a scroll.
‘Similar to the case of lightweight or special golems.’
Skilled magicians don’t invest time in magic they consider to be shabby.
Haven’t you seen it often on the rooftop too?
‘Those who discard magic that is good for business and consider it useless.’
Ethan intended to exploit that blind spot and turn it into a solid business idea.
“So I’m planning on registering a proper clean magic and making a scroll. There’s a definite demand, but there’s no satisfactory product. This clean magic scroll will be a game changer in the clean magic world.”
If a high-quality clean magic scroll were to hit the market, it would most certainly sell like hotcakes.
“It’s certainly a good idea, sir. But I think it’ll be difficult. To make that Clean Magic Scroll, you’ll first need Clean Magic that’s far superior to existing Clean Magic, and a wizard who can use high-level Clean Magic will never engage in commercial work.”
Yuna also knew very well how noble the wizards were.
That’s why I took a negative attitude and looked really sorry.
I was thinking of doing my best for Ethan, but it would be hard to save the wizard in the first place.
Then suddenly Yuna made a stupid expression.
“No, you already have a wizard. No, are you going to do this clean magic research yourself, Professor Ethan?”
“No. I’m not a wizard, Yuna.”
Ethan said with certainty.
“The lightweight magic and the special golems were both started by my business partner. And you already know who that partner is.”
“… … !”
Yuna, who immediately realized who it was, said the name.
“Surely you’re Assistant Yerika?”
“Yes, my escort and teaching assistant, Yeerika, is the master of all this magic. And there is no need to study it. The clean magic has already been completed.”
Ethan had seen her clean magic a while back when he had gone to get her second job, Lightning Guardian, and thought it was time.
There were numerous contaminants on her robes, but Yeerika used her cleansing magic to completely remove them.
‘Thanks to the release of the second stage of the ban.’
A clean magic of this level will definitely be accepted in the market.
‘I need to check the effect a bit more, but it can remove most contaminants. There is a lot of demand for this type of cleaning magic.’
“Then let’s officially register that magic with the association… … .”
“We plan to make and sell scrolls.”
Yuna’s expression changed completely.
If there is a clean magic that far surpasses the effects of the clean magic available in the world, it is definitely competitive.
If you advertise that this clean magic is different while greatly highlighting the shortcomings of existing clean magic, you will definitely be able to shake up the game.
Just tearing the scroll can remove any contaminants? This will definitely appeal to those who have been thirsting for this kind of cleaning magic.
I think it would be better to wash your equipment with a proper cleaning magic, even if it is a little more expensive, rather than ruining it with a mediocre cleaning magic.
“It’s a business that smells like money. But it’s hard for even the most elite ones to handle.”
This is where the real problem started.
This clean magic has an effect that surpasses the existing clean magic, and others can easily copy it.
Because it’s much easier to follow than the lightweight magic.
That’s why you need to register with the Magic Association that recognizes copyright in magic and secure exclusive rights.
“It’s not just the smell of money! This demand has already been secured. If Garnet decides to push it… … it seems like we could even monopolize the market!”
But there was something that Yuna absolutely had to check.
“I’m not doubting Assistant Yeerika’s skills, but if we’re going to advertise properly, that clean magic has to be perfect. If we over-advertise, our reputation at the top will go down.”
“If you register with the association, it will definitely be proven to be effective, right? And there won’t be anyone who can follow suit.”
“Yes, definitely.”
“Then I’ll make sure to get certified during the vacation period. Then I think I can start the business right away.”
After hearing the whole story, Yuna took a deep breath.
“You said you wanted to work with Garnet Top, right? But that’s not something you should be asking me to do. Instead, I should be the one to ask you. Mr. Ethan Wickers, would you like to take a walk with Garnet Top?”
Yuna held out her hand. Ethan took her hand and shook it naturally.
“Please take care of me, Yuna.”
Yuna put strength into the hand she was holding lightly.
“Yes, teacher.”
* * *
“Yes, the clean magic is almost perfect. After all, the thing I care about the most is hygiene. I can’t stand dirty things.”
Yeerika looked confident at Ethan’s words.
“What can’t be erased?”
“You can erase most things. Even grease. Of course, rust is a little harder.”
“That’s good enough. It’s perfect.”
The fact that it can even erase grease meant that it was the highest level of cleaning magic.
“Yerika, I would like to register this magic with the association.”
“… …The Magic Association?”
Yereka’s eyes narrowed.
Magic Association.
This magic association was a very symbolic place for Yeerika, although of course it was completely negative.
Hecate, Yerika’s grandfather, was once a wizard belonging to this magical society.
But when Hecate was suspected, the president of the association, rather than protecting her, expelled her from the association as if he had been waiting for it.
“Excessive magical research, madness due to magical addiction. This is a fact announced by the Magic Association, right?”
“……yes that’s right.”
It was like a brand.
It was from that time that Hecate, who had been under suspicion, was truly cornered.
Hecate said that it was absolutely not true, that she was simply deepening her research into magic, but once the Magic Association made an official announcement, there was no way to argue back.
That’s why Yeorika hated the Magic Association. No, she didn’t even want to associate with them.
“To be honest, I don’t want to get involved with a disgusting place like the Magic Association. I feel like burning it all down.”
Ethan understood her anger.
“That’s why it’s the Magic Association, Yeurika.”
“yes……?”
She looked puzzled for a moment, but then opened her eyes wide as if she understood what Ethan meant.
“You’re re-registering your grandfather’s magic with the Magic Association, just like you sold the special golem to those damn nobles who drove your grandfather crazy.”
“Yerika, who inherited your grandfather’s will, is also your magic.”
Yereka looked at Ethan.
Ethan elaborated a little more on this incident.
“I’m going to register my clean magic with the association and get it certified. I’m going to turn that clean magic into a business.”
When I explained about the Clean Magic Scroll business, Yeerika’s expression changed again.
“That would definitely make money, right?”
Yeerika was different from other magicians. She had a lightweight attack, a special golem, and even a clean magic scroll.
She had complete confidence in Ethan’s words.
“But I don’t intend to end it with simply registering my magic with the Association. You know, Yerika? I don’t want lukewarm revenge.”
There was something that Yeerika had been aiming for since she first signed an escort contract with Ethan.
It was revenge.
Revenge against the nobles who trampled all of his grandfather’s honor and turned his mother and himself into fugitives.
Her goal was to get revenge on everyone associated with him.
“If you’re going to do it, do it right.”
Yeri’s heart pounded loudly.
“Take control of the Magic Association. With Hecate-sama’s magic, and with your magic that carries on her will.”
