Chapter 101: welcoming the new member of the family
Looking at the surrounding, he nods. Alex had chosen the fountain of the school had made for the servant to do the laundry. Being a completely paved area, he wouldn't have to fear accidentally burning the ground.
With a rapid transmutation, the paved area rose from the ground, taking the shape of a smithing hearth without coals. On the side of the fountain, he made a little cooling tank. Taking the different materials out, he purified the coals, leaving a pile of powdered carbon while the rest was transmuted in a small diamond tank.
With some of the iron, he purified it as much as he can and form an anvil, pliers, a hammer, and a stirring diamond rod. Taking the iron, he put it in the tank before taking a deep breath.
Feeling his lungs fill, he delves deep until he could feel something stir, taking a hold of it, he breathed out, basking the iron in pure bluish-white flame. Taking great care as to only heating the diamond and not the stone, the iron rapidly bubble inside, completely melted.
Raising again the temperature, most of the impurities in the metal were completely burned. Taking the pliers, he partially immerses the diamond tank in the filled cooling tank, rapidly lowering the heat of the molten metal into a more solid form.
Done, he upside the tank, letting the chunk of still red iron fall on the anvil. securing the ingot, he starts to hammer it with a large and powerful strike. The steady striking sounds ring in the surroundings as the last of the impurities were chassed out of the smaller ingot.
#############################
This was something Alex has notice, while his transmutation skill was a great help, his creation has always lacked something as if the metal was dead. It wasn't until he spoke with one of the Goibinu Familia smiths that he learns that without real work, his creation will always lack something.
With the well of knowledge he had from the Harry Potter world, smithing was but a simple thing for him, even if he never practice before, the sheer numbers of weapons he had absorbed and analyze had left him enough to create his own style.
##############################
Letting the iron cool on the side, he repeats the same action with the chromium, copper, silver, and gold. While his amount of raw materials has diminished, he was now the only owner of the purest metal smithed of this world.
Weighting the ingot of iron and chromium and powdered carbon, he put 15% of chromium and 3% of carbon for the iron weight, aside. Those were the component of goblin steel from his native world but since he didn't have access to dragon fire, he would use his own to forge the magic metal.
Putting the cooled chromium back in the tank, he slowly rises the temperature, melting the solid into molasse before adding the iron. With it, a higher melting point than iron, the temperature of the chromium easily meld the added metal.
Before starting to mix both into a homogenous form, he adds the powdered carbon, raise the temperature while stirring with the diamond rod. Taking a more fluid form, the two metals and elements slowly mix into a perfect unique form.
Again, he partially cools the ingot before letting it fall on the anvil. Coating his and in fire and growing claws, he lightly touches the light red/bright yellow metal. Closing his eye, he pushes his magic in the block while activating his transmutation powers.
################################
If one were to stand on his side, he would see that the previous unique block was dividing into two long blades and a plethora of smaller blades. While the metal was still keeping its previous colors, their form slowly changes from mere blocks to more stylized ones, shaping like proper blades.
It didn't take long for Alex to give them a similar shape that the other pair he had created, doing the same for the throwing knives, without the crystals.
Their shapes done, the still-hot pieces of metal were immediately plunged in the cooling tank. Once the steam clear, he takes out the cold blades from the water., transmuting the surrounding back to its original shape.
The previous grey of the metal has completely vanished, leaving the place to a clear sky bluish-white, the same color of his fire. Even by just holding them in his hand, he could feel magic freely run into the blade.
Satisfied with the result, he takes the small pencil he made of the same metal and diamond and channel some magic in. The rune inscribes in the metal core lit up, turning the tip to a clear red, heated just enough before it turns from solid to liquid, and start to inscribe runes on the blades.
Being the first time he works with his newly created Evans steel, he didn't want to overwhelm the metal and risk to break it.
###########################
The firsts clusters added on the blades were security ones, no one others that those from his blood would be able to wield them. He had an unbreakable and sharpening one too before applying the same that was on the Gryffindor blade. While he doubts he would come again against something as corrosive as the basilisk venom, it didn't hurt to be prepared.
The throwing knives were given the same runes as the previous one, and smalls shard of gems were imbedded in the hilt to feed on his magic to power them, no longer will he count on external factor do power his weapons.
Taking the sturdiest wood he had in his storage, he quickly creates the handle for both long knives, before storing them all in his storage has he had wet to came with leather to create a sheath for them.
Cleaning his temporary workplace, he returns to Kirche's room to create a real wooden bed frame after vanishing the conjured one. Taking old mattresses, he deconstructs them, keeping the still good part, to create a new one, followed by brand new bedsheets.
He does the same from Kirche when he sees that he could give her a better night's comfort.
Still keeping in mind the measure for her bra, he shamelessly goes through her underwear, creating brand new bras one after others in different forms and added enchantment for comfort and added security.
Returning to Siesta's new room, he creates and enchanted window to given it natural light, even if the wall would have given in the bathroom. He creates a small tub for her to take a bath and a sink on the side, all connected to the school water system. He finishes with a wardrobe and a small dressing table with a mirror for her.
Knowing she would throw a fit seeing that he give a servant that much, he enlarges Kirche's bathroom, and tub, creates a larger wardrobe before creating clothes for her.
#####################
When the two girls return from the diner, Kirche being served by Siesta personally, they froze for a second in the new room. The previous standard-size room has doubled in volume, the wardrobe and dressing table were larger and with richer relief engraved in and an empty shelf had made its way in the room. The bed had also received an update and would easily house five people in.
A comfy closed basket for flame has replaced his cave-like kennel. Seeing his new house, Flame made his way in quickly before releasing a small growl of contentment when he feels the heated coal-like device under him giving a pleasant heat.
It was at this moment that Alex exit the room that he created.
"Ah, Siesta, good timing, came, tell me what you think about your new room."
The two turn their head to him, before making their way in the other room as Alex opened the door for them to came in. The room had the size of the previous one of Kirche, the same size that any other noble kid in the school. Kirche was sure that more than one would throw a fit if they know it.
They were both surprised to see that this room too had natural light even if it wasn't linked to the exterior. They could see a bed; who was a little smaller than the one Kirche's had first, but still enough even for two-person. A wardrobe with the same coat of arms that one on her uniform, and small dressing table on the right side of the room.
A partition was separating the back left corner of the room when they look at it, they so a bathtub enough for a single person and a sink with two wooden shelves on the side for toiletry.
The leftover corner had a little kitchen and pantry already stocked and a little table. In simple terms, she had now a little flat for herself.
###########################
"Since Kirche says that she didn't mind sharing, I will sleep in her bed, this room is for you, Siesta, you won't have to go down to the kitchen to prepare our breakfast, I will give you some recipes for you to made, alright?"
The poor girl was completely overwhelmed by all of this, even the best tavern she knows hadn't that much luxury.
"Isn't a little bit too much? I mean, I'm sure not even the inn in the capital could compete with that." Says the shaking girl.
"She right darling, even some small-time noble live in less luxury than this!"
"Nonsense, it the very least by my standard, if she is to be my maid, I can't let her life condition reflect badly on me! Come, sit, we need to go through your contract to work for me."
Still badly shaken by the news that this would be her room, for the time being, she sits, facing Alex. Unwanting to be lead over by the maid, Kirche plop in his lap, smiling widely when he says nothing but warm an arm around her waist, securing her.
########################
"Do you know how to write or/and read Siesta?" Seeing the maid shake her head negatively, he nodded. "I was thinking so, this area is rather backward when it came to general education. Do you know someone you can trust that can?"
"Marteau-san should, why?"
"Because I want you to go to him after I tell you the content of the contract, even if you trust me, I want you to always make sure that you verify every document concerning yourself, it would be easy to sell yourself without you knowing if you unable to read the document but trust the other party."
She could only nod dumbly, never before had she think of such possibility, but she was happy that her new master cares so much for her wellbeing.
"Now, as I say, this." Showing the room with a backhand motion. " Is the minimum standard that I will provide you. This will always include a private room and bathroom. It only because of a lack of space that I give you a personal kitchen, otherwise you would be to take care of the house one.
You will be given five uniforms, those are not your propriety but the one from my house. If one day you want to quit my service, you are expected to return them."
Until then she nods, the terms were somewhat similar to those of the school, lees the private luxurious room.
"You will be given a monthly pay of 12 ecus per month. An allowance will also be discussed at the further date for the miscellaneous purchase you will need to do for groceries and the like.
You will prepare breakfast every morning for me and Kirche, the other two meals will be eaten at the school so you won't have to bother yourself with them, other than some rare time. You will be averted if you need to prepare one.
We will let you take care of the laundry and the cleaning of the room. Others that you are free to pass your free time as you like.
Concerning relation, as long as it won't impede your work, you are free to live an amorous relation if you found someone."
#########################
She was starting to get dizzy. Never had she heard of such advantageous employment, she was given a private room and bathroom, light work, free time, and an unrestricted relation possibility with even higher pay than the school!
Even Kirche was shocked by how much lax he was with this contract, more than one would have sent her back with the other servants, lower her pay, restrict her freedom and even force her in their bed! She once again thank the Founder to have been sent such a perfect man.
But, for their greatest shock, he hadn't finished.
"As you are my charge now, I want you to come to me for any griefs you had, more so if it came to noble, you are mine, and it's my duty to see at your security. I will also need you to do something for me, I will surely shameful for you, but it needs to be done."
She became puzzled at that, what could be shameful for her that he was a little recalcitrant to speak of it? After a few seconds, she decides that it wouldn't matter, he had already done so much for her that she will do everything he needs, if it really that shameful for her, she will still do it, it was the least she could do after he had done for her.
"What do you need me to do, Master?"
"I need you to disrobe, I have a gift for your coming in my service, but I need to create it first. Kirche can be present if you're more comfortable with it."
On this, she sees him rise from his chair, leaving Kirche to take is place, before exiting the room. Once the both where alone, the black-haired maid, ask her master's lover if she knows what he was meaning.
##########################
"Darling surely want to make you some underwear, your lucky to have such a kind master, if he were to sell is creation, I sure they would cost several tens of ecus each pair."
"That much?!" She shouts. "I can't understand why they cost that much, even the pantie in town are too much, but this..." As a commoner girl, underwear was a luxury she had never been able to afford, but now, her master wants to gift her some he specially made for her!
This could be the way to his heart, even if he had a lover, its well knows that nobles take few mistresses, and as a personal maid she will be constantly at his side, it wouldn't take too much for her to entice her master to share some passionated moment.
On the other side of the table, Kirche knows what she was thinking, seeing her silly smile and the small trickle of blood running from her nose.
'Your silly girl if only you know, you were already Alex propriety the moment you were given to him, their no way back and you will soon or later pass between his hand, willingly or not.'
Once she came back from her fantasy, she made her way to the partition and take off her maid outfit from the school. As she didn't own any underwear, she was soon nude, asking for Kirche to call for Alex as she was still behind it.
