Chapter 6: Earning Pocket Money

In conclusion, Distillation was turned to money properly.

I went to three villages nearby, Aisen, Caluchi, and Kibu.

I talked about it, marketed it, I used the magic to water sources that can be only used in laundry, and showed them that it was drinkable by drinking it.

They were very happy with that. I had a promise that I’ll go purify it once a week and got money.

I thought about what can be made into money next.

I thought while I was walking home from the last village, Kibu.

*Suto* Sylvia reached out her hand from my side, and wiped my forehead with an handkerchief.

It looks like I was sweating again.

「It’s hot huh」

「Yes」

「Is Sylvia okay?」

「I’m okay」

She was saying, but sweat comes out of Sylvia’s forehead.

The season is near summer. In addition that it’s started getting hot, and we were walking all around.

Well, you’ll really sweat with that. And when I noticed it, my throat was parched.

「You want cold drinks right. Like a juice that is chilled with ice」

「It’s because ice is expensive」

「Yup?」

I stopped my feet, and looked at Sylvia.

「What is it?」

「What did you say? Ice is expensive?」

「Yes」

「What do you mean?」

「Uhmm, I heard from Otou-san before. The only way to eat it ice on summer, is to dig veery deep down, place ice from winter, and take it out when you want to. The only ones who can do that are rich people, or the Ou-sama he said. Also in a big town pu-blic u-tili-ty? was other way left, he said」

Public utility huh.

But, I see. If I think about it, there wasn’t a refrigerator huh.

That means……Ice could be turned into money huh.

I recalled all the magic that I’ve learned until now, and find something that can be used.

Returning to the mansion, I prepared drinkable water and a knife in the living room. I also prepared a syrup.

「Celsius Zero」

I first freeze it with magic. The water became ice in an instant.

I shaved the ice using a knife. This one’s physical labor, so I was a little tired.

I put sweet syrup on top of the ice.

Shaved ice was completed.

「Here, try and taste it」

「Is it okay?」

「Yeah」

Sylvia took the shaved ice, scooped one bite size, and put it inside her mouth.

「Sweet, Cool. *Ku〜*……」

She was happy at first, but made her eyes like X soon.

She was like *Kiiin*.
