Tenma, surprised by the various magical tools installed in the inn, decided to ask about them.

“Changing the topic a bit… the magic tools in this inn are incredible. The one in the hall really amazed me, but I was even more surprised by the faucet in the room that dispensed hot water. That’s a magic tool too, right？”

Mario nodded proudly.

“It is. That’s also a magic tool. So are the lights in the room, by the way.”

“Ah, then… how do you turn off the lights in the room?”

“Just say ‘lights off’—and they’ll go out. Also, here, they automatically turn off when you lock the room from the outside.”

“That’s really well thought out. Who invented them?”

Mario’s eyes lit up as he explained:

“They were made by three magic tool developers: Akira, known as the ‘Genius of Ideas,’ Hitomi, called the ‘Fountain of Knowledge,’ and Takumi, the ‘Demon of Standardization.’”

“These three appeared about a hundred years ago. Over the next fifty years, Akira came up with the concepts, Hitomi turned them into reality, and Takumi figured out how to mass-produce them. Thanks to them, daily life became much easier. Faucets that provide hot water, orb lights called Light Balls, refrigerators to preserve food… these magic tools are now essential to our everyday lives. It’s hard to imagine life without them.”

Hearing this, Tenma couldn't help but think:

 “Aren’t those three probably from another world…?”

The thought lingered in his mind.

“Are those people… still alive today?”

“Most likely not. Humans don’t live for a hundred years, after all. But here’s the thing—there are no official records of their deaths. At the time, the Magic Tool Guild didn’t exist, and those three were the ones who created it. We don’t even know if they had guild cards. The last records say they left the country and headed east. That’s all we know.”

“I see… Still, isn’t it rare to find an inn so well-equipped with magic tools like this?”

“I wouldn’t say ‘rare,’ but it’s definitely uncommon. Especially inns with private baths in the rooms. In Gomena, there are only two places like that—this one, and one other.”

“Come to think of it… there’s really a Magic Tool Guild, huh?”

“There is—located in the royal capital.”

Mario explained in detail:

“When you invent a magic tool, you have to consult with the guild in the capital to check if something similar already exists, or if your invention uses any existing technology. You can’t sell it unless it passes inspection. If your tool uses existing tech, you can pay a usage fee to get approval for sale.”

“New technology, on the other hand, can be sold freely. And if someone else uses your technology to make their own magic tools, they’ll have to pay you a fee. If you’re only making and using the tool for personal use, no fee is required.”

“Some exceptions exist: tools like the Magic Bag, the Magic Spark, and the Magic Water Bag, as well as items excavated from dungeons. Those have no production or sales restrictions. That’s because they existed before the Magic Tool Guild was even founded.”

Listening to Mario’s explanation, Tenma became certain—

 “Those three had to be people from another world.”

Not only their names but the concept Mario described—it sounded exactly like a patent system.

Shifting topics, Tenma asked about something else that had been on his mind:

“By the way, how much is the room rate for this inn? And the meal tonight—who should I pay for that?”

Alf responded with a grin:

“Don’t worry about the food—it’s on us. As for the room, with the family discount, it’s five medium copper coins. Normally it would be one silver coin. If you’re going to keep staying here, I’ll introduce you to the owner.”

“I’d love that—thank you!”

Tenma replied instantly, delighted by the offer.
