Chapter 368
“Futon, eh . . ”
Jin soon realized that Elsa was talking about the futons made using magic-cotton .
“But won’t they have futons prepared already?”
“Mm . That’s true . But I can’t imagine them preparing one better than that . ”
The futon made with magic-cotton and covered by magic-silk—the quality of it is certified by Elsa .
“I see… Ah, but, what do I do if it doesn’t match the bed’s size?”
“Then you just also make the bed . ”
Elsa is quite sharp today . No, maybe Jin is a bit dull today .
“Got it, that sounds good . Thank you, Elsa . ”
After saying thanks to Elsa, Jin turned to face Hanna .
“Hanna, are your teeth okay? Do they not hurt?”
It seems he couldn’t focus because he was worried about about Hanna .
“No, vig vrather . Am phine . ”
I guess her pronouncing it like that can’t be helped . After all, one of her bottom and top front teeth are out .
“That reminds me, Elsa, do you have any cavity?”
“Mm, no . ”
“Jin-sama, I had taught Elsa to properly clean her mouth since she was young . ”
Mine also added .
“Since that day, I have also been guiding the other kids in the village . For good or bad, maybe because they don’t have many food with sugar or maybe their teeth are strong, there aren’t any kids with cavity . ”
“I haven’t heard anyone getting a cavity in this village . ”
Martha also smiled, showing her teeth . All 32 of teeth were clean and all there .
“Hmm, there’s probably a reason behind it but…”
For now, Jin was relieved knowing that the chances of the kids getting cavity in Kaina village are low .
And so, he went into the main topic of making the futon .
“Can you tell how big are the general futons?”
Jin asked Mine .
“Yes, if a newly wed couple were to use it…”
Having stopped there once, Mine had this bitter expression . She probably remembered something of the past .
“About 2 . 2 meters tall and 2 . 2 meters wide, I’d say . It’s the same for mattress’ and quilts . ”
That’s close to being king size in modern Earth .
“Thanks… and sorry . ”
“What are you apologizing about?”
Mine said with a smile .
 
 
 
“Now then, about the processing of the cloth . ”
Jin had come to Hourai island with Elsa .
He thought he would teach her how to process cloth using this opportunity . He had Reiko line up the samples .
“As you can see, magic-silk has many different kinds depending on the weaving pattern and thread’s thickness . That’s what I want you to remember first . ”
In modern Earth terms–plain fabrics, twill fabric and satin weave . The weave and weft ratio is respectively 1:1, 1:2 (1 weft more for every weave) and 1:3 (2 weft more for every weave) .
It is the chiffon organdy tulle fine Japanese silk in terms of fabric variety .
“……”
Elsa was fascinated by the feel of that fabric .
“You listening?”Jin called back Elsa to which she hurriedly nodded .
“First, we cut it according to the size . We will be using separation . What’s different between this and getting the required amount from ingot is instead of the weight or amount, you imagine the size of it . ”
“Mm . I understand . ”
“It will be better if you think you can’t get it just the size you imagine from the get go . If you deviate, it would be good if it’s bigger . It would be a bit more waste in terms of materials but it will be better than having one too small . ”
After explaining in detail, Jin decided to show her .
“’Separation’ . ”
He processed a medium thickness plain weave fabric . As it was extrlarge, the weaved fabric was about 2 . 5 meters in width .
Thinking of the final size, he cut it at 2 meter 30 cm in length and width . And made 4 of those .
“You would normally sew them up together but if you use engineering magic ‘joint’…”
The threads joined cleanly and they were done in a moment .
“If I just add magic-cotton inside and join them from 4 sides…”
And with that, the futon was ready .
“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 .
