Konbini Ossan Volume 7 Chapter 14 — And Then, towards Digital…

Editor:
I went on to explain the details of the diodes to Arisa. What kind of internal structure they had, and what functions they possessed.

Once I finished explaining all of that, I moved on to introducing the next components.


“Alright, next. What I’ve prepared here are components that reproduce the functions of coils, inductors, in electronic circuits.”


“There’s a lot of them, aren’t there?”


Just as Arisa said, I laid out many components of various shapes.


“It was really difficult to reproduce coils themselves with magic conduction circuits. So I had to get creative and prepare substitute components for each function that a coil has.
…
For example, this one is used for resonance circuits, and this one is for filter circuits. Basically, they’re made up of several materials, structures, and magic circles, so each one ended up a bit larger than the other components.”


“Huh… But they’re still smaller than the diodes.”


Arisa muttered as she examined the components I presented.


“That’s true. In the case of diodes, they’re essentially a combination of several of these substitute components.
…
To be precise, you could call them magic conduction circuits that have diode functions. That’s why the diodes ended up being so large.”


The issue of size was something I planned to address later. For now, completing the components themselves had been the top priority.


“And this is the last one, and the biggest highlight. The Mana Transistor.”


Finally, I picked up a small component and explained it.


“This one gave me the most trouble to make. In fact, I spent about half of the total development time on it. But because of that, I’m really satisfied with how it turned out.”


A transistor’s original functions can be broadly divided into two: switching and current control. Reproducing both of those with magic conduction circuits was far from easy.

The switching function in particular had to be reproducible even at extremely small sizes, for a certain reason.

So what I came up with was a method that combined materials imbued with skills through enchantment magic.

What’s needed for switching is a property where turning on or off a minute amount of magic flowing through one circuit switches the on or off state of the magic flowing through another circuit.

To achieve that, I had to use skill imbuement to create properties where magic-particle resistance and magic-pressure resistance change in response to magic power.


“The most important switching function uses an inherent skillified property of Dracium, Magic Reflection.
…
I imbued this into the material, and made it so that when sufficient magic power flows, the skill does not function. Conversely, when magic power isn’t flowing, the skill activates and magic reflection occurs.”


As a result, most of the time was spent selecting the materials, combining the necessary skills, and designing the magic circles required to make that enchantment work.

But thanks to that effort, it became something that could eventually be miniaturized down to the nanometer scale as processing technology advanced.


“So with this, you can make that thing, right?”


Arisa asked, clearly intrigued. I nodded and replied.


“Yeah. With this magic conduction transistor, we can move from analog circuits to digital circuits. It becomes possible to develop devices capable of logical operations; not electronic devices, but magitronic devices.”


Hearing that, Arisa nodded as well.


“Then you’re almost there. Almost at your goal, Yūichi.”


“Yeah. With the power of «Calculator», it should work out.”


And then, at last, I spoke the name of what I had been aiming for all along.


“The Magi Computer I’ve always wanted to build. Let’s keep pushing forward like this until it’s complete.”


“I’m cheering you on, Yūichi.”


Arisa smiled and took my hand. I squeezed her hand back, feeling an even stronger desire to see this goal through.

For the future of Arisa and me, and for all my various ventures as well. Let’s do our best toward completing the magic conduction computer.

Now I want to buy a Magi PC and play MagiCraft on it 🤣! Ossan, you're awesome!

Stay tuned!

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:

                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a "class transfer" to another world. While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident—so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls—and even some pretty boys—who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use of those...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...

Konbini Ossan Volume 2 Chapter 26 — A Man Named Yuichi Otsugi

Editor:
After Shuri-kun deliciously took my virginity, the two of us returned to the shop and completed various contracts in writing. Arisa looked curiously at Shuri-kun, who seemed a bit worn out. But she likely didn’t suspect that Shuri-kun and I had done the deed. Surely, we hadn’t been found out. Or rather, we must not be found out. If Arisa knew, she might genuinely start to hate me. Living together while being looked at like filth by my own niece… That kind of hell is unbearable even to imagine. And yet— Thinking about it more, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in the short term? (E/N: You masochist freak Unc! 🤣) Well, let's set irrelevant thoughts aside for now. After signing the contracts with me and promising to formalize them later with official documents from the royal palace, Shuri-kun and Marceline went home. Then the peak business hours came, which Arisa and I handled together, and night eventually fell. There was no one left in the shop. At this time, we rarely get customers. Occ...
