Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

Back home, we started the experiment in the corner of the garden first.

I'm not overconfident enough to suddenly try to build a bathtub, so I start with the block.

"It's not good when the water stains, so imagine glazed tiles..."

There is nothing wrong with making the surface twirl because it is also a trial and error when making dies.

It's not just about cementing the soil, but if you do it with an image that dissolves the surface, it works.

"… Done"

"Oh, that sounds good! That would be nice to touch."

Yuki picks up the block and smiles as she strokes its surface.

"It's the part where my complexion hits me. Although the bottom of the tub will need anti-slip."

"An open-air bath style with natural stones is good, but it's not suitable for use every day, is it? It's hard to clean."

If you think about relaxing and leaning against the sides, a tub of convex natural stones is going to hurt and scare you a little bit. Besides, Yuki is right, given the daily cleaning, a tight tub with no joints would be better.

"How about waterproof?

Yuki puts a block in a bucket with water reserved for confirmation.

I peek in from the side too, but there is no appearance of bubbles coming out, and when I pull it out of the water, it runs out of water.

"You don't seem to have a problem."

"Yeah. Functionally, if I could mould the same thing in a tub size, it wouldn't seem like a problem..."

"But?"

"Bad color!

"Sure!

I snort at Yuki's powerful claims, too.

The colors of the blocks raised are earthy, just made from the soil in that area.

At first glance, beige.

I'm not saying I don't have a bathtub like that, but I think white or thin pastel colors look more like a bathtub in my image.

But, yeah, they're made of artificial marble, synthetic resin, that sort of thing, right?

"Can't you imaginatively feel like a porcelain tub?

"Yuki, that's pretty lame of you to say. Oh, so you're using white ceramic stones and hanging colored glazes on top of them, right? You may not need firing because it's magic, but first there's no ceramic stone."

"Oh well...... Separating brown ingredients from the soil in this area... what kind of brown ingredient is that?

"Brown... iron or something?

Once again, when people say what the soil component is, don't worry about it.

It can also be said that the rocks have weathered and become finer, and the composition of the rocks is varied and contains many compounds….

"I mean, Yuki, isn't it possible to use the soil creation" Creative Earth "when the soil magic has reached level 3? Can't you make ceramic stones or something?

"... oh, speaking of which"

You forgot, Yuki, who punches Pong and hands and says that.

Well, actually, me, too, I've forgotten.

"But what is the ingredient of ceramic stone?

"Er, it was like quartz and white mica or something...?

"Quartz is silicon dioxide, SiO2, right? What about the mica?"

"Ask me that? I think it was aluminum oxide, but I don't remember."

I'm not proud of it, but my school grades are no match for the three Yuki's. Regardless of the miscellaneous objects, Yuki will remember the chemical formula and such knowledge better.

"Aluminum oxide...... do you use alumina for refractory bricks? That looks white, too, and is it close?

"If you ask Halka, I think she'll answer... but is there a mica? Why not just silicon dioxide?

We don't want to make porcelain.

I just want to mold the soil and build a bathtub.

It doesn't make it clay and pinch "Ko", it doesn't need to be sintered, whatever the color is beautiful soil. There is nothing to say if it is durable, and quartz is not bad in that regard.

"So is that. Silicon dioxide...... diatomaceous sand? Is it going to work?..." Soil Creation "" Creative Earth "!

As soon as Yuki said so while she was troubled, there was a pile of white sand on the ground that could be covered with both hands.

"Wow, success, success?

You couldn't believe the result subtly yourself, Yuki, with her eyes rounded, takes a pinch of white sand and twists her neck as she tests it.

I'll observe, too, but I'm not sure if that's really silicon dioxide. Seems like it for the purpose I saw it.

But if silicon dioxide can be produced in "Creative Earth," can various metal elements also be created?

Or, if it's a substance that can exist in the soil - iron, iron oxide or something, can it be produced? If that's possible......

"Hey, could this possibly be money or something?

"No, that's... what do you think? It may not be impossible if the scope of" soil "in" Soil Creation Earth "means" a substance that exists as a single being in the soil "... but if it's easy, it's really" alchemy. "

"Right. You just can't do it, can you? Ha ha."

"Yes, yes. A dirt wizard would be rich if he could do that. Hahaha."

We look at each other and laugh at each other.

And then we turn to face, gaze at each other and nod at each other.

"But if you just want to try it, it's free, right?

"Ah. If I could, I'd make money. Literally."

"OK...." Soil Creation "CREATE EARTH"!!!

Yuki chants so powerful, saying no ex.

But soon I turn my face blue and shake my head.

"-! Chu, abort! Abort! This, no! Sooo, yuck!

"So, are you okay?

I rushed to support Yuki, who was about to fall flutter.

"Hey, dull......"

"Take it, sit down"

I'll let Yuki sit on the spot, blued her face and disturbed her breath, and wipe the sweat off her forehead.

It would be caused by the fact that it consumed a large amount of magic at once due to the symptoms. That makes me sick.

There is no loss of consciousness by it, for it cannot sustain magic in such a state.

If you can push and kill such ill health with the force of your will and squeeze your magic to its limits, you will pass out with too much magic, something may be wrong, but ordinary people won't be able to do it first.

"Lie down for a second. Knee, lend me your knee ~"

"I don't mind... do you want to go back to your room?

"It's okay, just take a little rest"

I gave Yuki a knee pillow and let her rest. For the time being, Yuki sighed heavily, having mostly returned to her complexion and breath.

"Maybe, but this magic, the rarity of the subject? Percentage present in the soil? Wouldn't it depend on that stuff to consume magic?

"Is there such a good story about being able to make precious metals?"

"Yeah... the diaphragm was easy, so I thought maybe a little bit,"

Yuki laughs at me for saying that, but it's going to be a lot of trouble if I can easily generate it, and maybe this was a good idea.

Incidentally, I asked Hulka and Natsuki later that the percentage of gold contained in the ground is one in hundreds of millions compared to silicon. In other words, if Yuki's hypothesis is correct, he would say that in order to produce 1 gram of gold, he needs hundreds of millions of times more magic than if he were to produce 1 gram of silicon.

Naturally, it is more or less impossible to prepare such magic.

Also, silver, of course, is a few thousand parts compared to silicon, even if it is copper.

I guess Yuki succeeded in producing diatomaceous sand relatively easily because that was silicon dioxide.

It should be noted that, unexpectedly, aluminum seems to be abundant, and since it was relatively easy to produce, it will be utilized later, but that is another story.

"Ma, rest for a while. I'll make something out of this diaphragm for now."

"Yeah, please."

In general, the only way to restore magic is to either take a break or use potions.

I think the potion is in charge of Hulka and Natsuki, but I don't have them yet, so all I can do now is rest.

I keep Yuki on my lap, which has gotten loose again, and when I take the diatomaceous sand, I try to make a dice, as an example.

"... hmm?

"Where did you go?

"A little harder than normal dirt, huh?

On the palm of my hand is a slightly white translucent six-sided dies.

I could have made it right, but I feel slightly more expensive than when the amount of magic consumed used the soil in that area. It's kind of a sensory thing.

"But you're doing it right, aren't you? It's beautiful."

Yuki says so while emptying the dies I handed her, but I'm a little dissapointed.

"If this is silicon dioxide, it should be completely transparent if you can make it right, right? White and cloudy..."

"I think it's possible that my made 'soil' wasn't full silicon dioxide, but in a way, if you think of it as a tub, isn't this enough? What's a transparent tub... isn't that it?

"... yeah, that's for sure"

Such a subtle atmosphere, as if it were a variety show.

It seems like it contains hot water or something.

From a practical point of view, it would surely be better not to see it from the outside.

"It's how much more, how much diatomaceous sand you're going to need... the size of the tub, how good do you think?

"If economy is a priority, unit bus size, if luxury is to say, the size a couple of people can put in,"

As far as I'm concerned, I want at least as big as I can fit in if I bend my legs lightly.

I know it's a drum can size if it's the most cost priority, but more than there is' purification ', the purpose of the bath is physical and mental relaxation. Occasionally a drum can bath would be interesting, but it would be out of the question for everyday use.

"Economy...... water is magically manageable, and boiling water is a magic prop, so how difficult is it when we make it?

"No, no, because running costs in a magical sense are multiplied"

Only Hulka can get the water out as it stands.

If you train me, you'll remember the water magic too, but when I'm tired of coming home from work, I also find it quite difficult to get out a glass of water that fills a wide tub.

Well, still, it's a significantly lighter cost, considering pumping water out of wells or boiling water with firewood.

"If you don't have enough magic, you don't have to take a bath, do you? If you're just going to clean it up, there's going to be 'purification'."

"Well, hey. You don't have to come in every day."

"I'd like to come in every day if I could."

I agree with that, but it's not more imperative than not having to wash your body.

If so, should I make a wide bath, even if I struggle when making it?

"Yeah, here's one, try your best to make a big tub!

"Sassy. Let's calculate the amount of diatomaceous sand we need."

You've largely regained your energy, Yuki got up and started writing rough drawings and formulas on the ground.

"Width and height, depth... about this thickness, considering the sand, about 1.5 times what you need?

The formula, which says gully, is simple: from a rectangle of 1.5 x 2.5 x 0.5 meters, the volume of the rectangle reduced by 10 cm thickness was pulled and only multiplied by 1.5 times.

The answer is roughly 1 cubic meter. Is it too much for a bucket?

Seeing the result, the sweat runs on Yuki's cheek.

Since less than a third of the diatomaceous sand made by Yuki earlier is a bucket, if it is to be made at the same pace, it is necessary to use "Creative Earth", a soil creation, more than 300 times.

"... Pretty much, huh?

"Right. Yuki, come on?

I'll give Yuki some encouragement and pound his shoulder.

Yuki smiled nicely, looking back at me.

"Nao, of course you can help me, right? You're not gonna tell me to do this alone, are you?

"Uh, but me, I'm still level one?

"You don't have to level up, so you can use the soil creation" Creative Earth "? No, rather be?

I don't have to know what it feels like, but Yuki says something rather unscrupulous with a true face.

Well, I can't even really leave it to Yuki, so I just have to do it.

In conclusion, after about an hour or two of practice, I was able to produce diatomaceous sand, too.

The mere "soil" being served in the soil creation "Creative Earth" could soon be done itself, but limiting it to only diatomaceous sand increased the difficulty as soon as possible, and it was a little long from there.

After about an hour of repeated trial and error, Yuki's "Imagine the chemical formula and structure and it might work?" If you take advice and see where you have succeeded brilliantly, it may be easier to succeed with more in-depth knowledge than just a simple image.

After that, I was moving to the laundry to produce even diatomaceous sand, but Yuki was out of magic and useless, and I was also using a lot of magic in practice, so the amount of diatomaceous sand I could produce by the time the Hulkas came back was only less than 10 buckets.

At this pace, the completion of the tub is likely to require some time now.
