Chapter 74 - Everyday Life with Homunculi

The young officer's idea was simple.

He proposed to senior management that the homunculus soldiers should be sold to the private sector.

Originally, senior military personnel were reluctant to accept the proposal. They were worried about the act of putting a large number of combat homunculus soldiers on the market, albeit old-fashioned and recycled soldiers.

Additionally, if something went wrong, they would be the ones to hold liability for approving the proposal.

However, it was also true that the economy was stagnating.

The meeting was long and difficult, but it was finally decided that the homunculus soldiers were to be commercialized.

First, the homunculi would be employed in a place easy for the military to supervise—for example, a military factory—and monitor the situation.

Provided no problems arise, they would gradually expand the scope of their private sector operations.

*(Note: Originally, it was "And if it didn't seem to cause any problems, he gradually settled down to the private sector." As shown, it's quite awkward.)

The young officer was pleased with the decision, and he gathered a large number of surplus homunculus soldiers to learn the skills needed to work in a military factory.

Once they finished learning the skills, the homunculi were sent to test factory one after another, and they were able to complete their jobs without any complications.

The young soldier proudly reported this achievement to his senior management and was eventually granted permission to sell the homunculus soldiers to the private sector.

The new homunculus surplus system freed the civilians who had been mobilized to work in military factories to do as they please.

In addition, a large number of homunculus soldiers worked in the town to support people's lives.

Thanks to that, the prewar vibrancy was gradually restored, and the people were finally looking forward.

Domestic supply chains were revived, and the production of consumer goods had begun.

*(Note: "Domestic supply chains" originally "logistics," and "consumer goods" originally "daily necessities.")

However, nowadays, many scenes have occurred that would have been unthinkable before the war.

That is to say, the existence of former homunculus soldiers:

A former homunculus soldier in a pretty uniform working in a coffee shop.

A former homunculus soldier wearing rugged work clothes making hardware at a blacksmith.

In the fields, a former homunculus soldier wearing a straw hat working in the farm fields, utilizing magic for agriculture.

Now, no day passes when I don't see a former homunculus soldier helping in the city.

This was an unthinkable sight before the war.

In the first place, the homunculi produced in the Republic of Sages before the war were extremely expensive, and only the rich or large organizations had the ability to purchase them.

Resultingly, the general public had almost no exposure to the homunculi, resulting in a lack of understanding towards them.

However, the young officer's efforts brought the homunculi into people's daily lives, allowing ordinary people to interact with them on a daily basis.
