Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Josephine, who had received the envelope from Yulia, stroked the surface of the envelope with her eyes narrowed. Apparently, she was worried about the quality of the paper. Paper made in the Grand Duchy of Restofen is like paper.

Then Josephine checks with Yulia.

Can I open it and read it?

Yes, please.

With permission from Yulia, Josephine hesitated to break the envelope before opening it.

And in the letter she read, it seemed to say this in summary.

I'm sorry to have to say hello in a letter. The next support item is groceries. I'll send you a lot of them, so please prepare a freezer to store them ~. From Cortex, President of the Council of the Republic of Mid-Eden

"...... this chairman, Cortex, is a lot...... of......"

"You're crazy —— you want to say it's characteristic, right?" I'm sorry. Would it be helpful if you could get used to it? ”

and Waltz apologize for anticipating Josephine's thoughts. Seeing Josephine with a bitter smile, it seemed to be a picture.

"She's a bit of a flower-blossom girl, but when you do it, you do it." It's been a year since she got to the chairman, but so far nothing has happened... "Well, I'll kick all my rivals down... no, it's nothing?"

Josephine's complexion changed as she heard Waltz's words. She seems to have figured it out.... this person named Cortex is not just a person.

"... Thank you for your advice. Also, regarding the support materials, I am very grateful that I no longer know what to thank you for. But... what is a freezer? From the text, it can be assumed that it is like a cold warehouse...."

"Ah, I see... I don't think there's usually a fridge, not even a freezer..." But don't you have an ice room? The one who keeps the snow from winter in an underground warehouse or somewhere and makes a cool room all year round. It's like that enhanced version of it? "

"... I know, but it's not common in Restofen. It doesn't snow as much as it does in the year.”

I see. By the way, aren't there any magic items to freeze and save?

Waltz asked, and Josephine sent her gaze to Ballestol, the knight commander next to her. Josephine herself wasn't so familiar with the type of magic tool.

As a result, Balestre answers to the best of his knowledge.

“Rumors are not common, to the extent that they've been heard.”

"I see... So, Yulia? Offer from Mid-Eden?"

"The refrigerator and the power technology that powers it may leak..."

"Well... isn't it awkward that knowledge of the reverse-carno-cycle will spill out..." Once you understand the concept of thermodynamics, you won't be able to wait until the Industrial Revolution.... "

“I think it would be wise to stop because it could lead to the invention of reciprocating engines and gas turbine engines.”

Next to Waltz and Yulia having such a conversation, Josephine seems to have listened to them very interestingly. The two conversations were all nouns, and it was difficult to guess the content, but it was clear that they were having a state-secret conversation. As for Josephine, it seemed that she could gain a lot of knowledge from a little information.

But Josephine had to stop thinking about it. This is because Waltz asked me this question.

"So, Josephine, if I had put an automatic wand in the room that could use ice magic, and I had developed ice magic all the time, I could easily do one or two refrigerators and freezers?"

"..... ah"

Apparently, Josephine didn't have that idea. She only saw the cane as a weapon.

"I see, then not only a cold room, but also a warm room can be made." That means you won't need a stove in the winter and can cool off in the summer...! Cooking utensils are also likely to be available! I see..... "

"... it seems like Josephine's thoughts are starting to run rampant, but did I say something I shouldn't have said?"

"It looks like..."

Waltz and Julia unexpectedly looked at Josephine as she realized the possibility of an automatic wand and began to run away. However, Josephine doesn't seem to be aware of how she is seen by others at all... Julia and the others continued to think about the possibility of an automatic wand.
