Chapter 368 (2/2)
“In this size, the cotton padding might be a bit more so sewing up in a few places would be good as well.”
Jin explained how that would stick the outer layer and inner layer making the insulation fall. And so he sewed a few areas together with magic-silk threads.
“How is it?”
“…..Wonderful. So this is how futons were made.”
Elsa was amazed seeing how the futon she was using currently was made.
“Now then, try practicing with these scraps of clothing.”
He handed over about 20 cm worth of clothing and told her to practice separation and joint.
“’Joint’. ‘Separation’. ‘Joint’. ‘Separation’.”
She joined them and separated them over a few times to grasp the feeling of it.
“….It’s hard.”
The threads did not properly join.
“Haha, it would be hard doing it all of a sudden. Take back that cloth and try practicing at home.”
“Mm. I will do my best.”
And next, Jin went on to manufacture the bed.
He decided on the design of the bed after recalling his time in Kurain kingdom—at Reinhart’s house and in the empress’ castle. It was generally a simple design.
Once the design is set, next up is the material. It might be a bit too much to cram for Elsa in a day but he decided to teach her how to process wood as well. There’s also Smith A for when she wants to review it.
The lumber is available in the lumber storehouse they made newly behind the laboratory. It is stored in a dry environment.
“From here, we take cypress, cedar, oak, maple, zelkova…”
Jin kept on naming them as he knew them in their Japanese names.
“I am thinking of using maple this time.”
It’s delicate and is elastic and the texture is nice as well.
After having Reiko help carry them to the workshop, he immediately got to work.
Separation and joint is also main here. One other magic which comes to play here is shaving.
Elsa watched attentively.
Although the materials are big, the process itself is pretty simple and so he was able to finish one up quickly. It was quite big.
He finished it up by varnishing it. He also set up anti-insect coating which is harmless to humans. He also used engineering magic here to apply it uniformly all over the bed.
“’Spread’.”
The magic made it spread uniformly. The image is also important here.
Finally, he used ‘finishing’ to shine up the surface.
Elsa watched over the process with respectful eyes.
“Jin-nii, before when we flew kites in Moft village, did you use the same magic to make the spool of thread?”
Elsa asked, recalling that memory. She didn’t see him make it.
“Ah, that happened, didn’t it?”
“…I want to catch up to you, even if it’s just a bit.”
Elsa looked at Jin seriously, seeing which Jin remembered something.
“Elsa, do you really… want to be come a magi craftsmen… a magi engineer?”
“Yes, I want to.”
Elsa answered immediately.
“I want to make many things like you do and be of use to the people. Magic is to bring people happiness. I think it’s not something to rule them.”
That is probably the conclusion Elsa reached by herself.
“Alright, I understand.”
Jin brought out 2 small magi crystal from the material shelf.
“’Transfer info’ level 3.”
He copied some of his knowledge to one of those.
“Elsa, you are able to use transfer info, right? There’s general science knowledge packed in this crystal. Read it.”
He handed over the empty magi crystal and the knowledge packed magi crystal to Elsa. Elsa fixedly stared at the magi crystals on her hand.
You can’t fundamentally transfer info from human to human. That is because everyone’s mana pattern in different.
However, it is possible to read the info in a magi crystal by transferring it to another magi crystal.
“Jin-nii’s…. knowledge…”
“Yeah. But it’s just the elementary level stuff, alright?”
“Got it. I will try…. Transfer info.”
A magi formula floated above the crystal and got sucked into the other crystal.
“That’s right. You were able to do it. You should be able to directly read that crystal now.”
Jin got back his magi crystal from Elsa and erased it.
Elsa looked at the crystal at her hand attentively once again and activated transfer info.
