Chapter 1-7: Volume 1 - Chapter 7 – STOVE

Lately Jin has been thinking about something . That is a stove . In Kaina Village… no, in this world, firewood is typically used for cooking .

However for firewood, you need to cut a tree down, clear away the branches, cut it short, dry it, and then after that you can use the wood . Cutting down a tree and carrying it is hard labour, it also takes about half a year to dry it . A tree that’s not dried is hard to burn and it creates a lot of smoke . The concept of using charcoal did not exist in this world and to the general populace, firewood was a source of heat .

「A 《Magic Crystal》 as I thought… no, it’s a 《Magic Stone》 I need」

There was a lot of it underneath the laboratory which Jin regretted . Well, a lot of the goods stored in the laboratory were all over the place though .

（It can’t be helped, what’s done is done . Hmm, from my hypothesis, the substance of magic power is a particle made up of neutrons and protons that form a nucleus . It should have a similar position to a 《Radioisotope》）

Even if it’s the same element, the nucleus needs the substance of magic power to take on magic power, which is the hypothesis Jin made up . Deducing it with the knowledge and magic of the 《Magi Craft Meister》 and the knowledge of a high school level graduate . No one has ever thought of such a thing in this world .

（That is to say, it has a similar concentration to uranium, however there is no materials or equipment for it）

If it was the laboratory, Jin could make a magic element concentration device, but this was Kaina Village so it couldn’t be helped .

「Onii-chan, can we go play?」

Jin was invited by Hanna .

「Ah, yeah, that’s right . Where should we go?」

「It’s hot so let’s go swim!」

To the south of the village is the Erume River, a big river that supposedly runs to the capital . However, there are several waterfalls along the way so it wasn’t used for transportation by water, was what he heard from Roland .

「Alright, let’s go」

So the two changed into their swimwear and headed to the river . Well the swimwear wasn’t much different from underwear though . Incidentally, Hanna didn’t have a problem with only wearing the bottom so Jin didn’t worry about it either .

In the river were other children that came to swim, mixed among them was the village chief’s niece, Barbara . As one would expect, Barbara had wrapped cloth around her chest .

「Ah! It’s Jin-niichan! Hanna too!」

Kurt let out his voice when he saw the two . Mario and Jessie also waved at the two .

「It isn’t good to suddenly enter the river . You should splash a little water on your body and slowly enter . 」

「Okay」

He warned Hanna and Jin slowly entered the river . The place to swim was a deep area with gentle flow . Well it’s not really that deep, the width is 20 metres and the deep areas are only about 3 metre in depth .

「Kyahaaa, it feels good」

「Yeah… it really does」

Leisurely floating on the water, Jin rested his head, and then water was poured on his face .

「Pua!」

「Hehe, Jin-niichan, what are you doing lazing around? Let’s play!」

The mischievous Kurt came and squirted some water .

「You sure did it!」

「You can’t catch me~」

「Oh, a game of tag? I’ll also play!」

「Me too! Me too!」

Before he noticed it, the children had gathered and it became a game of underwater tag . Barbara looked at the scene with a smile from a shallow area .

「Caught you Hannchan!」

「Caught you Jessie!」

「The only one left is… Kurt?」

「Ah, there he is! He dove underwater!」

「Alright!」Kurt dived deeper to escape, Jin and Mario chased after him .

Kurt was caught near the bottom by Mario who was skilled at swimming . At that time, Kurt was flailing about, and the sand at the bottom rolled up . Seeing that, an idea flashed in Jin’s head .

「Ahhh, that was really fun~」

The children who finished playing got out of the water . Because it was nearly time for lunch, everyone returned home .

「You guys, quickly take a hot bath at the onsen and then go back home」

「Okay~」

Worrying that they may get sick if they remained with a cold body, Jin called out to them . Well, the children of this village aren’t so weak though .

「Fuu…」

While bathing in hot water, Jin verified the idea he had a while ago .

（An atom with a lot of neutrons must be heavy, so an atom with a surplus of the substance of magic power should be heavy too . If that’s the case then sifting it should be possible like the gold dust underwater）

「Onii-chan, haven’t you gotten out yet?」

Hearing Hanna call out, Jin snapped out of his thoughts . Because he pondered too long in the hot water, he returned to Martha’s house while sweating . Hanna had a refreshed face .

「What’s wrong? You look unusually hot after going for a swim」

Martha told him .

「Well… I was thinking about a little something」

Jin said in the same usual tone, bitterly smiling .

Now the afternoon, Jin came alone to the Erume River once again . As for Hanna, she was taking a nap .

「Now then… let’s trying putting it into practice」Muttering that, he entered the water . In his hand was a large bowl .

First of all he scooped the riverbed of sand with the bowl, and swung it into the water . Doing that, the light sand flew into the water while the heavy sand remained in place .

This technique of picking gold dust is called 『Panning』 . Of course Jin didn’t have the experience in doing this, but he has seen it being done on the television . ⚑

After doing it several times, there was a little bit of red sand left on the bowl . He checked if the water was gone . Of course using magic .

「《Analyse》… yep, a fire attribute 《Magic Stone》 . It has a higher grade than I thought it would」

He did it several times, but all that he found were red 《Magic Stone》 .

「Hmm, maybe there’s some relation with what comes out of the hot spring . But, well, this was unexpectedly fortunate」

Making a stove requires a fire attribute 《Magic Stone》, so this is convenient .

For that day, Jin continued to collect the 《Magic Stone》 until dusk when Hanna came to find him .

The next day, Jin secluded himself in the workshop . This time he was using iron-based materials . Handling fire is dangerous so although he felt bad about it, he had Hanna go out to play alone .

「Well then, the basic form of that 《・・》」

Recalling the form of the general cassette stove, Jin transformed the iron into an iron plate . Once again, he thought magic was convenient . Being able to precisely do it to this point was because he was the 《Magi Craft Meister》, however he did not realise that .

This time he bent the resulting iron plate to make the form of the stove . The burner section used the 《Magic Stone》 for the heater process, and substituting for the cassette gas cylinder was a 《Magic Stone》 .

Although the prototype is in the form of a cassette stove, he hoped the final form would be a gas range .

「Alright I’m done!」

The first thing he noticed when making it was the adjustment of the heating . The magic power supplied to the 《Magic Stone》 could be adjusted with a knob he implemented .

「I should try it out immediately」

Bringing the finished stove, Jin went to where Martha was . Just in time, Martha was beginning to prepare for lunch . She had fetched some firewood to boil the pot . 「Um, Marthsan do you have a moment?」

He asked Martha who stopped her hand holding firewood,

「What is that? You’ve brought another interesting thing haven’t you?」

「Well yes… this is a 『stove』, it can boil and stew food without firewood」

「Ohhhh, is it a 『Magic Tool』 as I thought?」

「That’s right . Could you try and use it?」

「I’ll gratefully accept your offer and use it . How am I suppose to use it?」

Placing the stove on top of the kitchen table, he put the pot filled with water on the trivet .

「Using it is simple . First, you raise this lever . Then you turn this knob and when the heater becomes hot, it will boil the water . You can adjust the amount of heating by turning the knob . 」

Martha then opened her eyes wide,

「What a Magic Tool! You called it a 『stove』 right? … being able to produce such heat! Jin! This is really amazing!」

she said in great joy, and Jin was glad .

Adjusting the heat of firewood is extremely difficult . The amount and type of firewood can change it . In spite of that, Martha who could make a delicious meal was amazing, but Jin’s cooking skills were at a beginner level so he couldn’t understand how .

But to Martha, this magic tool, the 『stove』 is revolutionary .

After several days of testing the prototype, there were no problems, so he made stoves to go around the village . Jin taught them the method to collect the magic stones for replacing them, and all the homes in the village were very thankful for it .
