Chapter 645 - Chapter 575: A Satisfying Result for Everyone?
We decided to entrust the inside of the church and the Goddess Statue to the resident Cait Sith and the Gaju and Kijimunaa, and to request maintenance primarily for the exterior of the church and the approach.
Since just the Offerings didn't seem like enough, I informed them that we would determine and pay a new amount.
"And maybe some refreshments too?"
"Yes, that's right. Perhaps some sweets?"
[Izupon] "I want to apply!"
[Kimisol] "Like, applying through the guild or something?"
[Fel] "Won't the refreshments be more expensive lol"
[Kokkuri] "I hope for a rotation system!"
etc. etc.
Ah, you know, a rotation system might actually be better if there are a lot of volunteers.
That's something we'll need to discuss. Or rather, I feel like my selfish requests are putting too much burden on the people at the Silver Manor, so I need to think of a better solution...
"Shou-kun. There's something else I need to ask you about."
"Ah, right. I had something I wanted to ask about glass. I'm trying to make a Stained Glass piece using the stuff everyone collected for recycling, but..."
I mentioned that I'm using recrystallization with [Applied Earth Magic], that I plan to install it in the island's church, and that Sweee and the White Dragon Princess even drew the designs. All sorts of things.
The comment section got particularly excited about their designs, and with such high expectations, it's putting a lot of pressure on me to finish it...
"So, I'm kind of struggling, or rather, I have a problem. Can red or yellow glass even be made? Or for that matter, does it even exist on the Mainland?"
[Napalm] "Hmm, I haven't seen any..."
[Asahisan] "Don't you color glass by adding ions?"
[Otton] "The ones on the Mainland are mostly green or blue."
[Tee-chan] "Manufacturers mix in metal oxides to make them!"
etc. etc.
Hmm, from what I'm seeing in the comments, it seems like there isn't any red or yellow glass on the Mainland either.
Most of the glass fragments I received for the request are greenish, with a few blue ones, and only very rarely a yellow one.
What I'm wondering about is,
"What are metal oxides?"
"Things like Copper Oxide, that's right, isn't it?"
According to the knowledgeable people in the comments, that's correct.
However, it seems it's not something that can be done easily, and proper facilities are apparently essential.
"Facilities, huh… I wonder if the Ancient Magic Furnace could do it? It can make alloys, after all."
"I see!"
[Mushinko] "A Magic Furnace might have a chance!"
[Newd] "Has anyone tried it at the Southern Island's Mining Facility or something?"
[Sukuna] "I'm pretty sure red uses gold~"
[Runade] "If you shove glass into the furnace, what shape would it come out in? lol"
etc. etc.
It's true, I'm curious about what would happen if I put glass fragments into the Ancient Magic Furnace.
The usual outcome might be that it can't be activated, right? But if it worked without any problems and produced a glass ingot-like mass, I'd be surprised...
Also, in real life, they apparently use gold for red glass and silver or uranium for yellow glass, so I can't exactly try it casually.
[World Quest Completed!]
"Ah!"
It was just past nine in the evening.
I'd heard the final battle of the World Quest was supposed to start around 7 PM, so I guess it ended as expected?
"I'll check the results."
"Okay."
[World Quest: When the Devils Come]
Demons invading from the Demon Kingdom not only infiltrated the entire Mainland but also extended their reach to the remote islands.
In response, humanity, initially on the defensive, managed to uncover the demons' objective—the collection of Magic Stones—with the cooperation of the Dragonkin and Fairies.
By resolving Magic Stone-related incidents occurring across various regions, the demons were cornered, and the leader of this incursion was successfully defeated in the Ancient Ruins in the southern Demon Kingdom.
Consequently, the demons' ultimate goal was revealed to be a Limited Catastrophe Recreation.
What methods will they use to bring this about? It will be necessary to keep a close eye on their future movements…
Information Gathering about Demons: 97%
Demon Discovery: 84%
Demon Extermination/Capture: 73%
Reclaiming Stolen Magic Stones: 67%
(All percentages relative to the total number)
Rewards have been distributed to each individual based on their contribution.
The fact that it's not 100% means there were some oversights, I guess? But, well, the overall results don't seem bad.
[Bluesha] "Good work everyone~ヽ(´▽｀)/"
[Messerin] "It feels like there's more to come~"
[Mederoi] "Good job everyone~"
[Marutai] "Now I'm curious about the sequel."
etc. etc.
People were saying this World Quest was for those who started with the Demon Kingdom update, so there are scattered opinions that it's a setup for the next one.
If that's the case, I wonder if the next World Quest might start surprisingly soon?
As I pondered that, I closed the menu, and then…
[Goddess Reward: World Quest Completion Reward: 10 SP obtained]
[World Quest Contribution Ranking: Information Gathering Division 1st Place!]
[World Quest Contribution Ranking: Logistics Support Division 1st Place!]
[Choccol] "First place in two categories, here we go!"
[Shakeena] "Here we go! ♪───Ｏ（≧∇≦）Ｏ────♪"
[Daytron] "'Congrats! 1st Place in Two Categories!: 20,000 yen'"
[Caronal] "'Good job on the World Quest~: 1,000 yen'"
etc. etc.
Yeah, well, it's fine since they didn't find out I went over there…
