I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island
Episode 158: A Lesson After A Lesson
After the island harvest festival, there is some time before the hometown harvest festival. In the meantime, I really wanted carbonic acid, so I contacted Mr. Aida, had a promise to meet a knowledgeable hero who was a science teacher like Mr. Kenzaki, and decided to go at once.
When I went to my usual basement and waited for Mr. Aida, I brought the costume of the desert people I wore before.
"As expected, there are few people in the castle who know Calm's existence, so please wear this."
"Death Yone"
I wore a thin cloth like a poncho over my clothes, wrapped the cloth around my face and showed my eyes only.
"It looks like an assassin in a game."
A brave man who is always on the lookout muttered,
"Do you cut off the left ring finger?"
"I don't care about wedding rings. That's the kind of culture here."
"Isn't it okay to spread it? Justice and Rellus are married, so it might be a good idea to try it out in a big way."
Says Aida seriously. I don't know how true it is.
We entered the castle from an unlit fireplace and the room was a lounge for the hero. Then, walking down the hallway, a passing soldier bows down to Aida, but I have no doubts. Is it next to Aida-san? How influential is the castle?
"This room. I'm sorry, Aida."
When Mr. Aida knocked and entered the room, the room faced the courtyard with many glass windows so that he could take in more light. It's a place originally used for tea parties or something.
Fleur by the window. And on a sunny shelf, the bottom of the glass jar was cut and stuffed with cotton instead of a lid, covered in a bowl, and on the soil soaked with plenty of water, Pilz seemed comfortable. . Hot and humid?
"Oh, is that rumored Calm?"
During the break, he picked up a cigarette with his finger and began to smoke before talking.
In the room, there were about two more, but I was desperately writing something.
"Hello, as you may know, I say Calm."
"That's Kenzaki, thanks to Pilz, things are getting better. Thanks."
"Thanks……"
Hmmm, I don't feel rough.
"Then I'm back to work. When you're done, call me through Fleur."
Aida-san went out to run away ...
"Now, how to make carbonated water. What exactly do you want?"
"Well, it's mass production. I remember that pressurized carbon dioxide was dissolved in water in a factory-like place, but such a facility would still be technically impossible. I thought there was no good way. ''
"Huh ... continue?"
Uh, it ’s hard to do something.
"I know that other methods make citric acid and baking soda, but how do you extract only citric acid from lemons, what is baking soda in the first place? It's just. "
"Hmm ... If you can safely mass produce with the current technology, you can open the beer barrel lid and hang a bowl of water. I discovered that carbon dioxide would melt into it. That's how to make it at low cost. "
"Oh!"
"But, Calm, are you a demons? I guess you can do it with magic ..."
That being said, the two people who wrote something look up here with great heads. Well, is it better now?
"Well, magic?"
"I heard the demons' magic was an image. If it were magic, it would be an image of mixing carbon dioxide into water, wouldn't it be?"
"Huh? CO2?"
"Yes, is there any problem?"
"Well, is carbon dioxide carbon dioxide?"
"Naturally, what are you talking about? Are you stupid?"
"Eh ... well, I hate ghost studies ..."
"Huh ... I'll explain a little, sit down."
"Eh, yes, yes ..."
After that, a chemical formula was drawn on a black board standing against the wall, and the explanation began a long time, and in the first five minutes my brain refused to listen, pretended to be listening and listened from right to left Was. How do you want to graduate from college? That's a copy of my friend Sonohara's notebook ... Or just really chemistry please. Elementary school science is enough for me.
Thirty minutes later, the explanation was over, and the class ended with "it looks like this."
Isn't it difficult to explain?
"Well, because a small amount of carbon dioxide is contained in the air and it comes out of the beer barrel, the water in the suspended bowl becomes carbonated water."
"Yes. Haven't you mixed slaked lime with water and blow it with a straw to make it white?-That's it."
I guess it's just a word or two. Why did you teach for 30 minutes?
"Then try the demons-specific image, as if you had pirates starved of oxygen and had altitude sickness."
"Yes……"
Information source is absolutely Aida-san. damn it.
I'll try as told. Float [water] in the air, pressurize using the wind attribute, and try to mix in the air. Like the server that makes carbonated water described in the previous picture, imagine a plastic bottle with wind magic, hold down the whole water, pump in the air steadily from the bottom, and after a while, add water to the cup When you drop, bubbles of carbonated water float up more and more.
"Hey, it's easy for demons."
While saying that, he put on a match with cigarettes.
"Well ... that's right."
Despite the fact that carbonated water is made, I am not pleased with it. Certainly carbon dioxide was carbon dioxide ...
"That's how you have only one-sided knowledge. If you do something interesting, I'll rent it out."
He smokes while grinning, and says while exhaling smoke. There is no choice but to apply pressure to the water and heat it to more than 300 degrees.
"Hahahahahaha! It's stupid that you can't make carbonated water even though you can make this. Look at you, etc. When you heat the water, it turns into steam, and its volume increases nearly 1000 times, If you keep on heating without swelling, the water will turn black like this. It will be as hot as the oven in the area! I saw an interesting thing raw. Why do you know that? "
"Before life, I saw a guy who made cup noodles with 300 degrees hot water on the net and it took only a minute, so I knew only how to make the water 300 degrees."
For the time being, there are people in this world, so I used Japanese.
"Hmm, do you remember only what you are interested in? I hate classes, but I like experimenting?"
"Well, well ..."
"Students are such mons ..."
The smoke of cigarettes is rushing out of the mouth and nose, like the smoke of a chimney and chimney. Are all teachers worried?
"These were pretty good royal palace sorcerers, and those who escaped their heads with pus. I will write a report with my own interpretation of what will happen if I incorporate science into it. ''
"It looks like alchemy."
"Oh, it's an interesting thing. Like, alchemy. Let's give it to Alchemy! I'll try to use magic to make up for areas where science and technology aren't catching up so that I can make a clone from a single hair. Let's start with a cow or a non-human experiment. If you just eat it, it might be cheaper! "
"That's right ... please keep morals."
"The sacrifice comes with the experiment. If you succeed, all you want is to eat soft beef, and you want to make royal shadow warriors?"
"I don't know ..."
In a way, it looks like Aida-san. Let's just pray that we will not succeed. No, I want more meat.
"I hope that you runaway and not be designated as a curse. Does the student behind you look like a shit?"
"Well a dream story. Don't worry."
"That's right ... and the potion makers are alchemists, so it's better to think of a different name to differentiate."
"Is that ... an alchemist?"
I was thinking like that, so when I approached Fleur's bowl to go home, I was stopped as if I would not escape.
"Ah, can Calm do the ore? If you can, the price of gold and other things will fall, so it's better to stop it."
"I haven't done it. I understand that much.
God told me.
"But you can do it?"
"Well. However, things created with magic will disappear."
"Huh ... could you make something?"
"Is it money to make it easy to understand?"
With that said, a heavy, heavy, five centimeter-square, dull glowing metal rides on your hand.
"Oh, is this a magic that the Kore image is based on as a demons ... Would you hire a demonic side witch? I want Calm but she's a demon king."
Hey. Don't say it flows. The student will have fled to the corner of the room.
"Did you say you made it with magic?"
"It's an image of collecting moisture in the air, so it won't go away."
"Huh. If you imagine gold gathering in gold mines and veins, you're rich.
`` Even gold mines are contained only in trace amounts, and when crushing a considerable amount of stone and extracting only gold at high temperatures, if you imagine collecting such a wide range of gold, you will break down with haste with magic I'll do it. "
"I don't know how versatile it is.
"If you give a shock, the magical power will be consumed faster or disappear faster."
I dropped the bullion I made on the floor and stomped with my feet several times and it disappeared.
"So when making weapons, there are many throwing knives."
"Huh ... Can you get along with demons like you?"
Kenzaki is talking to a student who fled to the corner of the room.
I don't know what came up, but it's probably not right. I've been involved for only a short time, but I understand it somehow. This time I talked to Fleur and called Aida before returning to the island.
And I make mojito in the office.
I put mint and sugar in a cup, crushed it with a stick, put rum, put plenty of crushed ice, put in magical carbonated water, then floated uncrushed mint to make mojito.
Then she moans at once and slams the cup on the table.
"This is Kore. This is Mojito!"
The mojito, which combines the feeling of popping in the mouth of cold carbonated water, tasted after a long absence, and the refreshing sensation of mint, is drunk all at once and gives a grand burp.
The best! Add ginger beer to carbonated water, make ginger ale and drink.
"~~~!"
Good! It has been more than 10 years since I was born in this world. I've been drinking soda for a long time! I'm terrible to know. That carbon dioxide was carbon dioxide.
When I was thinking about that, I suddenly hit my shoulder. Rush comes in through the front door and who is it?
I turned around and saw a woman with pink hair ...
"Well, my sister ..."
"It looks so delicious?"
He pointed at the cup with a terrible smile and stood intimidating.
"Eh, oh ... yes, I'll make it now!"
I ran from the back door to the distillery, took the rum, picked the mint growing around it, stopped by Parlor's kitchen for sugar, and floated [carbonated water] and [ice] in the air to the office I returned and made a mojito in a hurry.
"Hmm, it's like a beer, it's crackling, it's cold and sooooo delicious."
He was told with a terrible smile and felt that the defense of the island's guardian god had increased.
