411 a social studies tour




 After breakfast, Giselle returned.

"Please take care of Lija and Deepika.

 She bowed her head. Then she flew away in a whirl. We all lined up to see her off. The figure melted away into the forest.

"Well then, let's get to work in my workshop, shall we?

 I said, rolling my shoulders lightly, and headed for the forge.

 Today's schedule was the same as usual, with everyone except Riddy working on sheet metal and longswords.
 Riddy and I will be coloring the scabbard of the guardian sword. During this brief meeting, I told Lija and Deepika.

I'll tell Lijah and Deepika at that light meeting, "You two should get some rest. I'm sure it's boring and hard to sit in a room at ......, so you can move freely around the house.

 The two fairies nodded their heads. The eldest, Giselle, was somewhat used to people due to her position, but these two were not so used.
 Well, I don't think they'd normally be bothered by humans. ....... I hope they can get along during the week.

I hope they get along during the week. They're smart enough not to do anything to you, but if you don't like them, please be careful.

 The two nodded again. After that, Deepika raised her hand slowly.

"What's wrong?
"Can I stay here and watch you guys?

 I involuntarily raised one eyebrow.

I raised one eyebrow. "Of course you can, but ....... It's quite hot, isn't it?

 Everyone uses the furnace and fire pit, and I use the fire to boil water to extract the colors, with Liddy's help.
 The temperature and humidity will rise, so it should be quite hot. We've gotten used to it, but it will be an unknown heat for the two of you.

"Yeah. I'm just curious about what people make, so I'd like to take a look.
"Okay. All right.

 Sometimes it's better to be within sight. I nodded, and they looked relieved.

I nodded and they looked relieved, "But please drink water when we drink water. We're sure you'll be fine, but just in case.

 I doubt that they would sweat, which is the body's cooling function, since their bodies are apparently composed of magical power, and I don't know if they would become dehydrated if they did sweat, but as I said, just in case.
 There's no point in getting sick and then coming down with dehydration.

"Okay. I understand.

 The two nodded their heads. And so the work with the fairy's field trip began.

"First, let's boil this root.
"Okay.

 While the water was boiling in the work pot, I brought out the roots. It was so red that it looked like the veins of a living creature. There was a little soil left, so I rinsed it off with water, which made it redder.
 When the water boiled in the pot, throw the red roots into the water. The color of the water quickly turns red.

Whoa!

 The water in the pot turned so bright red that I couldn't help but shout. Liddy is giggling.

I was surprised when I was little. I was also surprised when I was little. I was surprised when I was little, and I still am sometimes.
"Well, this is amazing.

 The inside of the pot is getting redder and redder. As if in exchange, the roots gradually lost their redness and turned yellow.
 When the yellowing had increased considerably, Liddy pulled up the roots. The water in the bath was still cloudy and red. It still looks more like blood than wine.

"If we boil it down a little, we can make a dye.
"I see.

 As I was staring at the pot, I heard a voice behind me say, "Wow. I turned around and saw two fairies looking at the contents of the pot with great interest.
 When Lija noticed my gaze, she shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh, I'm sorry.
No, no, no, don't worry about it.

 I smiled as much as I could, but it didn't seem right to the family, and Liddy turned away from me and shook her shoulders.

Thank you very much. What do you use this for?
"It's called .......

 I brought out an unfinished white wooden sheath. There's a rose carved into it.

"You make this flower red.

 The two fairies' eyes lit up at my words, "Wow.
 Now, I've got to get into the spirit of things.
