Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

It's been a long time since the Hulkas came to the store today.

To some distant town, he said he was going out at work, so I guess that means he came back from there.

What you have in your hand is a small bag.

Maybe a souvenir for me?

It's your job, you don't have to worry about it.

But if you say you will, it's not a bad idea to shy away.

Let me thank you.

When it comes to souvenirs in this world, food or something?

- My expectations and expectations were about half met.

The Hulkas did offer it to me. [M]

And, together, I told him this.

"I found rice, so make a precision rice machine," he said.

Are you serious! And with joy, you popped into my eye with the bag open... rice?

It's not what I know.

Isn't that a little too big?

Is this delicious to eat?

Oh, he said it was delicious.

When you can eat normally.

Hmm. Then we'll have to do it. As a former Japanese.

Maybe we can make sake or something.

Yale, that's pretty good, but, you know, that's pretty good.

Dwarf, you can't just not make good liquor!

Now, the Hulkas who kept the rice went out again to 'earn a commission' to pay me, so I went about designing the machine on my own.

Honestly, I normally make profits from what Mr. Hulka and the others asked me to make, and I take care of him from time to time, so I don't have to ask for anything or anything.

If I get paid for the ingredients, I feel that's enough.

I had a little trouble making mincers, too, but they're profitable enough for me.

When I said that, I said, 'Well paid for the job. Naturally, right?'.

Well, thanks to you, I've got a lot of savings, so I'm sure I appreciate it.

... I figured I'd even build a house?

But I don't want to live alone.

Am I gonna get a daughter-in-law or something?

Well, a precision rice machine.

Fortunately, I have seen home precision rice machines themselves.

My mother said, "Freshly refined rice is delicious!" or something like that, because I was buying a home precision rice machine.

The structure is also simple, simply put, metal monkeys just spin.

I don't know the structure of the precision rice machine for business use, but I guess I'll use it at Mr. Hulka's house, so this is good, right?

The difficulty is that even rice of this size will function properly... but what if we experiment with brown rice after we get it?

First of all, because I have a problem before that.

It's a wrap.

I'm not familiar with this.

I don't sell rice with rice in the store, and I don't know anything about household folding machines.

When Idol Group was a show about rice making, they used wooden molars, but modern sliding machines shouldn't be using that stuff.

Is it something that could be achieved here...?

"... ah. Speaking of which. Even wheat should take the crust, right? Let's ask."

"Am I? Wheat shell? You're not gonna take that, are you?

In the meantime, I asked my master, and that was the answer I returned.

"Huh? Well, when you powder..."

"Grind it with stone molars, use a water wheel to crush it, right? Choy and good powder hang from there on the sieve... usually stays the same."

When I asked the Hulkas later, the so-called whole grain was put together and turned into flour, and the common flour was cut around and then turned into flour, what is it?

I don't know much about cooking and heels, but I've heard of whole grains.

It contains all sorts of things, good for your health or something.

I see. Was the bread I eat every day healthy bread?

... Oh, no.

Black bread isn't flour in the first place.

Though it may not make a difference to your health.

"I know about wheat, but I'm sure it won't help."

What I want is rice flour, not rice grains.

Putting it together and crushing it, okay, that can't be it.

"Incorporating a wooden mortar?... No, I just don't think that's right"

If that's okay, you won't bring a story to me. [M]

The quantity of rice that Mr. Hulka and the others brought is not much per kilo.

Take a few grains out of it and observe.

"The shape is exactly rice. Is the shell a little thicker just because it's normally grown? I don't even have to peel my hands... shell peeling golem or something? - I don't think so. It's not a blacksmith's job."

If you pinch the rice in the palm of both hands and rub it together, you can't even remove the crust.

But you have to rub it together again and again before you can strip it all clean, even about a few grains, and again, old-fashioned wooden molars are probably the most efficient.

If only the shell had been peeled off, we would have blown the shell later with the wind and refined the remaining brown rice.

And so on, as we worked out the concept, Mr. Hulka and the others attacked again - and also visited.

He's finished exploring the dungeon and has been looking at it financially.

"Tommy, what's it like? Could it have already been done?

"Yuki...... it's not that easy. We're still in the conceptual phase."

"Really? I was wondering if it was that hard. I wonder what the problem is.

"That's the first fold. I guess I'll just have to do it in a wooden mortar."

Explain to Mr Hulka and the others the structure we are thinking about right now.

Even so, I simply asked Haruka and the others to provide a motor (Modoki) that could be made by alchemy, to automate the rotation of the wooden molars, to blow up the shells automatically, to a certain extent.

Simply put, combine the wooden molars and the tang, rely on the power of magic, that's all.

Structurally, it is the nineteenth century.

"The problem is that I'll probably have to make the wooden molars stand out more often. - Do you know the structure of a modern sliding machine or something?

"Modern sliding machines use rubber rollers. For the sake of simplicity, two rubber rollers with different rotational speeds, seemingly peeling the shell by passing through the gap."

It was Natsuki who gave me a light answer to what I asked without much expectation.

And I guess I wasn't the only one surprised by that.

Mr. Hulka opens his eyes for a moment and tilts his little neck.

"Natsuki, you know me well, right?

"I've been to the company of precision rice machines before"

"... Speaking of which, you got a souvenir. Dried rice. It was subtle as a souvenir, but it was quite delicious"

"Alphaized rice, right? There was nothing else appropriate. Better than just rice, right?

"Sure, it was kind of funny, though"

I see.

When you go on a factory tour, will you explain the structure of the area?

I have heard of a good value for money by getting a souvenir or something in addition to being guided for free or for a small amount.

Like a beer factory, or a free beer tasting.

Damn, if I'd gone on a factory tour, I might have made some delicious beer!

I don't know because I was a minor...... too bad.

"By the way, is there rubber? Can you get it?

"That's okay. Whether it's natural rubber or not, I can make it out of alchemy, so I'll provide it."

"Thank you. Okay, I'll use that to make a sliding machine. If you have a precision rice machine, is it good with the same structure as a home precision rice machine? Simply put, just stir the rice in the monkey..."

The things my mother used started to stop automatically once she set the amount and the trick, but that seems difficult, so I need to see them with my eyes and ask her to stop herself.

If I could make a golem or something, I might be able to make a golem control tool instead of computer control... I don't know if I could.

"I don't mind that. Besides, if I can split rice into quarters if possible, it's still good..."

"Hey, is it a quartet..."

They say things that are quite difficult.

But I can understand what you're trying to say.

Because this rice, it's too big.

I would say it was delicious, but considering cooking it, the size of rice we know is as good as possible. Even as the texture when flooded or eaten.

"... I get it. I'll try my best."

"Thank you, I hope so."

As an artisan, I couldn't compromise, and Hulka smiled and thanked me.

Yeah, that's very eye-catching.

But Mr. Hulka, with such a beautiful face, is quite unforgiving.
