Magi Craft Meister

For a while, Jens was playing with a shiatsu, but in the middle of it (or less), the door was knocked.

"Yes."

It was Tia who opened the door. And it was Minister of Industry Delight who was outside the door.

"Oh, isn't it Delight? Glad you're feeling better."

"Yes, Your Highness. Thanks to Miss Elsa for your help. May I now?

"Yeah, I don't mind."

The Minister of Industry Delight was still a little pale, but the limb paralysis seems to be completely gone.

"Thank you, Miss Elsa, for yesterday. Lord Jin, I'd like to talk to you about the desiccant you couldn't do yesterday."

"Fine."

It is boring and boring. Jen understood in two replies. Princess Reeschen also ordered Tia to add fresh fruit juice instead of herbal tea...... without complaining.

For the reason that fresh fruit juice made by squeezing fruit on the spot doesn't worry about being poisoned.

Just in case Jen 'analyzes' and makes sure there is no poison or plaything in it, it is poured into everyone's glass.

In addition, let's keep in mind that Keiko took a poison look at Jen's share.

At the beginning, they all safely spoke of juice.

"So, how to use desiccant, was it?"

"That's what I mean"

"First of all, I want to check the precautions first. Do you understand that water is strictly forbidden?

As for Jen, he cares about fire and burns.

"Yeah, let's do that. Even if it's okay if it's humid, it's hot enough to burn when water is hung."

"Yeah, that's right. It may also be ant to experiment in front of those involved, using a small amount"

"I see, it's not rational, you mean let it experience"

"That's what I'm talking about"

"... By the way, do you know how to make desiccants?

Suddenly Minister of Industry Delight has asked about the method, so Jen is just as vigilant,

"... no, that's it"

I kept it to answer.

In this way, Elsa was talking to Princess Rieschen as the story of Delight Industry Minister and Jen progressed.

"Dear Reese, may I speak to you about your brother?

"Hmm? That's good. My older brother, Brother Edmond, my older brother, my mouth is blurry, but my concubine thinks I have no back table."

Edmond stuck to Elsa from time to time. Princess Reeschen's appreciation of him was not worse than I thought.

"Brother Arthur..."

Princess Rieschen with a mouth cage.

"... I don't have a clue..."

"Really?

"... Elsa, I'll tell you, she used to annoy me a lot about my concubine..."

Your mother, who gave birth to two princes, three princesses, died giving birth to Rieschen at the end. I heard that my two older brothers didn't adore her because of Reeschen.

"Exactly now I have my surrounding eyes, and yet I haven't set them up as openly as I used to..."

Yesterday's poisoned herbal tea seemed worrisome.

"Well, don't be the real brothers and sisters who split blood for as much as you want, you'll be worried."

Elsa had to learn a little sympathy for that chilled mouthful that didn't suit her age of twelve.

"... even though Brother Arthur may have really improved his personality because his tutor is excellent."

"Teacher, are you"

"Mm-hmm. I invited him from the Kingdom of Celluloa, he said he was a well-known scholar. Someone told me that scholars in my country can't be fat enough to be a bunch, but whatever it is, it can be a big deal."

The Kingdom of Celluloa has a deep history and a large population of the country itself. No wonder there are scholars who outperform the Klein kingdom.

"The name of the scholar, do you understand?

"Uhm.... sure, something like Lioness Ashford"

For once, Elsa decided to keep that name in her memory.

Meanwhile, Jen had finished communicating the necessary information to Minister of Industry Delight.

"Thank you, Lord Jin. If used in conjunction with the 'dehumidifier' brought about the other day, you are likely to expect considerable results"

Jen reacted to the words.

"Dehumidifier, is it? From the way it sounds, it's a tool that excludes moisture, right?

"You're right. It looks like the Nostalgia Party is distributing it to countries."

"Ho."

"The automatic doll (Automata) that gave the explanation was a blonde beauty. Hey, who made it?"

I heard Elena explained how to use it, and Jen thought. You seem to be working properly.

Then we have a public discourse.

"So far, we have enough reserves to go over the years."

Though chatterful to Jen, who is trying to find out about the food situation, it is an effective source of information.

"By simple calculation, if there are 100,000 people in the kingdom, the wheat conversion will be less than four months."

Approximately, he said, the calculation is that there will be no more food to eat for the period from February of the following year until the June harvest season.

"You mean 5000 tons short..."

As eating 150 kilos per person per year, 12.5 kilos per month. 50 kilos in 4 months. I just multiplied that a hundred thousand times.

There was no significant difference from the estimates made by Eric in the village of Kaina.

"Right. I wonder if it would be something like 3000 tons if we were aware of the food shortage and actively ate other crops and tried to save money."

……

Jen has thought about it.

Penglai Island's reserves would be tens of tons at best, so it is water on baking stones. Precisely made and temporarily cooked.

"Are you responsible for food procurement?

"... that's hard. From what I hear, you think the eastern part of the Kingdom of Celluloa is also famine? I just hope it's not a war."

More food is wasted in the war for food. Obvious contradiction, but it is man who does the contradiction.

(Even the Shauro Empire, 3000 tons would be impossible to aid...)

"However, you don't seem to have to worry about a riot yet during the year. We hope to find a solution in the course of the year."

Although. The outlook is bleak. You can call it dark.

Because food self-sufficiency in small groups is slightly above 100 percent.

"I can only advise you to make crops that can be harvested in a short period of time."

But Minister of Industry Delight seems to have decided to put it to the line.

"Lord Jin, what is that crop?

Jen also decided not to teach without covering it up because things are about a lot of human lives.

"Soba, it's a crop called"

"Soba, is it? You've never heard of it."

It's a crop made in the north, and it can be harvested in about two and a half months.

"Oh my God!"

It's now mid-November, and that if we sow it now, we can harvest it at the beginning of February. It's too much, but I think I can handle it.

"Lord Jin! I definitely want to make a crop called Soba! Can you help!?

"Of course it is. But there are a few problems."

The first is that the required amount of seed cannot be prepared immediately. In Penglai, they turned most of Autumn Soba into soba powder.

I'm not likely to be able to bribe you for what you have left as a species.

Second: Soba is allergic.

In this world, can you say that you have never seen an allergy to wheat, but no one is ever allergic to soba at all?

"... you may not get the seeds you need in time. Also, some people may not fit their physique..."

As Jen, I can only put it in an unusual way. But still, the drowner bowed his head toward the straw and the Minister of Industry Delight toward Jen.

"Lord Jin! As far as you can with your handover, please get that Soba!

Until then, Jen can't say no either.

"Okay."

He nodded with a slightly sinister face.

"Soba seed, is it"

Through Reiko, the old man, who was following the conversation between Jen and the Minister of Industry Delight, also thought about it.

"Even if you released all the kind of soba in Penglai, it's not enough for a tenth of what you need..."

The reserve now is, so to speak, the harvest of primary cultivation. This is the fruit of sowing the slightest seed of Soba from the demonic realm.

The majority were...... but less than a ton...... turned into soba flour and the other half turned to secondary cultivation.

If we could harvest the second cultivar, we would manage to get seed soba, but that would be less than two months away.

'If you do, you need to source the seed soba from somewhere.'

It is only demonic territory, and the food situation of demons is also cutthroat.

"I guess we'll have to trade it for some alternative food."

Ask him to give away his soba for what he eats as a seed and give him food in his stead. This is the only way, Old Master has made a final decision.

"Flour...... right"

It would be possible to exchange a ton of flour harvested in Penglai with a ton of Soba fruit harvested in the Devil's Territory, Old Master calculated.

but this is still not enough.

Soba yields fall more than wheat. Sow a ton of soba, and there will be about 20 tons of soba fruit to harvest.

Even the old man couldn't possibly solve it, it was a liberal problem. It is only advantageous, however, that the period between sowing and harvesting is short.

"What's left... interracial, is it?"

interracial of living west of the Harihari desert. We don't know how much food they produce and have stockpiles.

I could say it was one bet.
