Travel to another world and continue to be a boxer

Chapter 225: Retribution for Folly (3)

"You know very little about the Magic Boxer. He can easily see through a strategy like yours. He values ​​those close to him very much. I wonder what fate will befall you, Excellency?"

"How can it be……"

“You should pay more attention to some new information. You don’t even know who invented the reverse bracelet.”

“Wasn’t it developed by the Magic Court?”

Baruka had always believed this. He thought that the Magic Court was responsible for research and development, so it was entrusted to the royal family's Krampus Chamber of Commerce and Baden Chamber of Commerce for production and sales.

"The inventor is Magic Boxer. The Baden Chamber of Commerce's production cannot keep up with demand, so they asked us to produce and sell it as well. You should understand now that we have a deep connection with him."

“Ah…Ah!?”

"After all, Monolicot was also created by Magic Boxer. If Mr. Ye Kai says one word, our Chamber of Commerce's most profitable product will not be sold. Do you think I would commit such a stupid act?"

This is almost all a lie. As for the reverse bracelet, no matter what Ye Kai said, the power to sell it was not in his hands, because the power was already in the hands of the royal family. However, in reality, if Ye Kai insisted, the royal family would most likely do so. Muriel also believed that he would not do that.

"You intend to take away our two main products and discredit me personally? Are you planning to replace our chamber of commerce?"

“Absolutely not! I never thought about that at all!”

"Enough with the joking, the Magic Boxer already knows all your plans. What are you going to do?"

"..."

Baluka was speechless.

"Your foolish behavior will not be tolerated. I will take this matter to the Merchant Guild. Please be prepared."

"Please, please spare me! My family and employees will end up on the streets. Please have mercy!"

Baruka's eyes widened, and he immediately fell to his knees in front of Muriel and hugged her tightly.

"How disgraceful. Trying to demean others without wanting to suffer the same fate yourself."

"I don't mind what you say! As long as you can forgive me!"

He looked down at Baluka as if he were watching the end of a fool.

"I can't help it... I'll ask him myself."

Muriel could only sigh, feeling like he was wasting time. He took out the remote controller from its hiding place and began to make calls. Baruka didn't understand what he was doing suddenly and stared blankly.

"I'm sorry, Master Ye Kai. Is it convenient now?"

"Hello, Muriel-sama. What's the problem? I'll take care of it."

Ye Kai learned from the design of the reverse bracelet that he also inherited the remote controller.

“In fact…”

When narrating the situation, there was no negative emotion in Ye Kai's voice, which made people feel strange.

"This must be very troublesome for you, right? Mr. Ollie and I are somewhat similar. He does not forgive easily when he is angry. I am sorry to ask unreasonable requests, but can you try to arrange it with Master Muriel? As for the Monolicote factory, I will try to arrange it from my side."

“Oh, you’re not angry?”

"It's no big deal. Just no need to thank me. We each have our own agenda, so let's just live in our own worlds. Please tell us so."

This may be a declaration of profound rupture that does not provoke quarrels. But it is more constructive than confrontational.

“I understand. I’ll pass that on.”

"Ah, I'll be visiting again soon. I have a lot to think about."

“Oh, of course! We look forward to seeing you. Your letters are always welcome.”

After conveying Ye Kai's message to Baluka, Baluka kowtowed on the floor to express his gratitude. Although the person he thanked was wrong, if he refused, this person might break into Ye Kai's place, so he accepted it silently.

Muriel realized that Ye Kai was more tolerant than he had heard he was, and she began to look at him with a new appreciation.

"Mr. Marquis, what is this 'Telmek'?"

In the living room of the Marquis of Ased Gorn, which he had not seen for a long time, Graud, who was enjoying the sunshine on his day off, leaned against his wine glass, while Ye Kai moistened his lips and drank tea. Ye Kai, who was flipping through the documents, saw an unfamiliar word and couldn't help but tilt his head.

“That’s okay. Is this your fault?”

“It’s really hard to be accused of something you can’t even remember. Can you tell me the truth?”

Although it sounded a little bit sarcastic, this conversation felt like a normal exchange for both of them.

“It’s one-tenth of a meg (1 centimetres). That was decided a year ago and widely announced.”

“Then why is it my fault?”

"Because it is indispensable to the production of the magic accumulator, isn't it obvious?"

In this world, industrial products are of course handmade by craftsmen. This is passed down orally or by imitation through an apprenticeship system, and there are few clear size standards.

Even if there is, it is only a memorandum-level thing, made with a personal template or tool. What Ye Kai delivered as a design drawing is mainly diagrams and simple instructions, and the standards that go into the tiny details are not recorded.

But this doesn't work for industrial products like magic accumulators.

For example, the fins or their gaps must be dimensioned and tolerances set, otherwise the finished product will not be consistent. Since the components are similar in nature and can be used interchangeably, if the finished product is not dimensionally stable, it cannot be used and mass production is required.

Of course, they tried to do that, but the problem here is that the smallest unit is 1 Mek (1.2 cm), so you get tenths of a Mek, hundredths of a Mek, and so on, which is very difficult to understand.

Therefore, for the sake of convenience, they decided to set one tenth of a meck as 1 thermek (1.2 mm), and based on this, they made precise product drawings and achieved unified standard production in various factories. This became a new trend in industrial production.

Initially, the Telmek was used only in internal documents as a standard unit specifically for the production of magic accumulators. But Albert noticed this and, considering the future development of industrial products, he proposed to use it as a public unified unit. As a result, it was passed by the Royal Conference and officially promulgated throughout Holzlein.

At that time, Ye Kai was tasting the meat of the giant sword dragon Sodlizad in Phrygia, so he naturally didn't know this fact.

“I see. Indeed, it all started with me.”

Hearing this, Glaud smiled smugly.
