"The Idea of a Woman Stealing Someone Else's Partner is Ridiculous," I laughed. But After Being Reborn, I Became a Victim of Such a Woman. However, My New Fiancée was Absolutely Amazing. - Episode 32

The day after the engagement arrangements were successfully completed, I prepared a home-cooked meal for the head of the Ichijou-no-Go family, her husband, and Kouga-san.

The three of them stayed at the Kujou-no-Go estate, and I made breakfast for them the next morning.

All three of them praised the food, saying, “The spiritual power contained in this is amazing!” However, Fumi-sama, the head of the Kujou-no-Go family, smiled and said, “Since you are only being praised for the spiritual power content, how about receiving some cooking lessons from our chefs for a while?”

Now that I think about it, no one actually complimented the taste!

I feel like crying.

But on the bright side, that means I have room to improve! Alright, I’ll do my best!

After that, I handed over enough “Thought Sharing” talismans for Kouga-san’s entire squad.

He had said he wanted them, and since he was returning inland today, it was the perfect time to give them to him.

The head and her husband of the Ichijou-no-Go family were also very interested in the “ Thought Sharing” talisman and listened to my explanation.

They said I was free to continue developing talismans that help with fighting calamity demons, but they also requested that I create talismans useful for daily life. Since they seemed interested, I ended up holding a presentation on my research results.

I introduced several talismans, including the “Ignition Talisman,” inspired by a lighter, which could start a fire in a stove; the “Illumination Talisman,” which could provide light at an entrance; the “Moisture Absorption Talisman,” which removes humidity; and the “Insect Repellent Talisman,” which keeps bugs away from clothing, books, and rice storage.

“These are wonderful! Especially the ‘Moisture Absorption Talisman’ and the ‘Insect Repellent Talisman’—I want to use them in our household right away!”

“We would like these too! How much will they cost when sold?”

“Every family in the central clans will want these… We should set up mass production first. We are thinking of selling them at this price, but since the number of people who can make talismans is decreasing, we must secure manpower first… No, before that, we should present them to the Emperor and obtain permission for mass production.”

W-Wait, present them to the Emperor?

Isn’t this getting way too big? Seriously?

“The ‘Ignition Talisman’ and ‘Illumination Talisman’ would be useful for camping during demon hunts.”

“Indeed. Not having to carry torches would make it easier to respond to surprise attacks from calamity demons. This would be very convenient. These are excellent as well.”

“I agree.”

Kouga-san and Reiji-sama praised these talismans.

Now that I think about it, they had mentioned this before.

Since starting a fire while camping can be troublesome, the “Ignition Talisman” was highly appreciated.

Ehehehe.

“Also, I have something like this.”

“A small talisman? What does it do?”

“You attach it to the heel of a sandal. It makes a sound when you walk.”

“……?”

Well, that reaction was expected.

Actually, I got the idea for this talisman from something my sister in my past life told me when I was taking care of her son—my nephew.

“This helps prevent small children from getting lost and keeps them from losing their sandals. Also, the ‘piko piko’ sound is fun, which encourages children to enjoy going outside!”

“Oh my! That’s interesting! My child hates going outside. Whenever I suggest a walk, they say ‘No!’ Hmm… Could I try one out?”

“Of course.”

Heh, I wasn’t just sitting around ignoring everything about the Ichijou-no-Go family.

Their head, Misumi-sama, has two sons—one is six years old, and the other is three.

In this world, boys are supposed to play outside to build strength.

They can’t just stay indoors forever.

In my past life, my sister passionately explained how sunlight was crucial for a child’s growth.

The six-year-old might be a little too old for this, but the three-year-old would probably love it if his sandals made sounds while he walked. It might encourage him to go outside more. Probably.

“And I also recommend this talisman. When attached to pajamas, it makes patterns glow in a dark room.”

“Um… What is the purpose of that?”

“It helps children stop fearing the dark. They enjoy looking at the patterns and become excited to change into their pajamas at night!”

“I see…”

They didn’t quite understand at first.

So, I demonstrated by placing it under a black cloth.

I’m terrible at drawing, but I managed to make a simple flower pattern.

“Oh wow, it really glows! A pink flower pattern! So, this would appear on pajamas?”

“Yes. I… can only draw flowers, but if we add animals and other designs, boys might enjoy them too.”

“My child hates going to bed. They always want to keep playing.”

“Mine too! If we could change the pattern every night, they might look forward to bedtime and willingly change into pajamas. Can I try one?”

“Of course!”

“Can I have one for my child as well?”

“Absolutely!”

The Kujou-no-Go head also has a four year old girl.

In a way, she’s like my future sister-in-law, so I have no problem letting them have one.

“You create very interesting things. If this goes well, the prevailing ideology in certain circles might change completely.”

“Oh? Did you consider that while making these?”

“A little… I thought it might make life easier for parents and be well-received.”

“Wonderful. Please continue your research with us.”

“I’ll do my best!”

Nice! The response is very positive.

I’ll crush outdated ideologies with convenient inventions!

“I never thought about making talismans for children. This is great! I can’t wait to meet my future niece or nephew.”

“You’re getting ahead of yourself.”

“But my brother’s fiancée is so thoughtful. Even our mother won’t be able to object! I’ll convince her myself. Once you graduate, we should have the wedding right away. We’ll announce the engagement next month.”

“Isn’t that too fast?”

“Not at all! We need to make sure everyone knows we’ve secured such a wonderful girl!”

They’re really closing off all my escape routes.

But thinking about how the Arisugawa family head came yesterday to negotiate directly… maybe this is actually reassuring.
