What awaited Jin when he returned to Horaijima was a mountain of reports.

"We have surveyed the wasteland on the west side of the island, and it seems that a large amount of granite, Oyaishi, and other stone materials can be obtained. As for mineral resources, iron ore was abundant, but other minerals are scarce."

"Please mine and store good quality iron ore."

The grasslands to the east have been fenced off and are ready to be turned into pasture.

"Oh, as soon as we have enough money, we'll have to buy some cattle and sheep."

"We have finished setting up a harbor in Tatsumi Bay, and we have set up two fish ponds on a trial basis.

Keep me posted on the fish stocks and the species of fish.

The orchard on the plateau is ready.

We'll build a refrigerator afterwards, so please store the harvested fruits there.

The list of useful plants in the northern forest zone is complete.

There's a rubber tree. That's a good one.

And so on, and so on, and so on. In the end, the report continued until the next day, and I took a day off from visiting Beena.

"I'm tired indeed. ......"

The golem maids worked harder than Jin had expected.

"How was your father?"

Reiko asked after finishing the report.

"Yes. The prototype of the refrigerator is ready. And popcorn."

Popcorn?

It's a food you can make from this corn.

Jin pulls out a bag of corn he brought with him. Topaz received it.

I'll sow it in the field right away.

"Yes, please."

Topaz handed it to his golem and gave him instructions.

"Well then, let's make a refrigerator here too.

"I'll help you."

Jin heads for the workshop with Reiko.

"It's good that we can use Magi Crystals instead of Magi Stones.

Jin takes out a water-based Magi Crystal and immediately begins to engrave the Magi Formula.

Compared to the Magi Stone, the Magi Crystal lasts tens to hundreds of times longer, so it can be used directly to engrave the Magi Formula. On the other hand, since MagiStone needs to be replaced frequently, a MagiBoard (plate) is used.

"Instead of making ice, you cool it directly."

Bina could not have done this, but Jin was able to construct the Magi Formula without any difficulty.

"Father, the chassis is ready."

Reiko was making the refrigerator itself.

"Good. We'll put a thermal barrier around the housing. That's it.

"It's done."

The finished product was about 1 meter high, 70 centimeters wide, and 60 centimeters deep.

"Okay, let's put some fruit in it. It tastes better when it's chilled.

"Okay, I'll put it in later."

"Okay, then I'll convert the unused room into a refrigerator, or rather a cold room."

So we are going to build a warehouse for storing fruits, nuts and grains.

"I think the best place for that would be at the very back of the first floor.

It is a huge refrigerator, but if Jin and Reiko cooperate, the size will not be a bottleneck. Fruits were quickly brought into the newly built refrigerated room.

In the same way, Jin uses another room to make a freezer room. The reason is that freezing is better for long-term preservation. Ice can also be made.

Fruits and nuts were stored there as well.

When it was all over, it was already dusk. Jin went to the dining room he had set up in the laboratory,

"Ah, another meal of fruits and nuts. ......

He blurts out. Reiko heard him,

"Father, we have some bread and dried meat."

"Really?

Jin asks hurriedly.

"Yes. Actually, the other day while your father was in the workshop with Bina, I made some money by selling magi stones at a stall. I bought it with it. Was it unnecessary?

Reiko looks worried. But Hitoshi said,

"Of course not... You noticed it well, Reiko. I'm glad."

Saying that, he grilled the bread Reiko offered and seared the dried meat.

"Yes, it's good."

Jin eats the bread with the dried meat. The amount of salt was just right. Reiko saw this and smiled,

"That was good."

But there is only enough bread and dried meat for one more meal.

"We'd better make sure we have enough food for tomorrow.

Jin thought as he ate. Then he came up with an idea.

"Oh, Reiko, I want to build a house outside.

Home?

"Yes. This institute is top secret, but if you ever bring someone here, we can at least keep it a secret by showing them to the house we built outside.

Reiko raised her eyebrows slightly,

"...... is that about Bina-san?"

"No, it's not limited to Beena. I just thought it would be a good idea to say that there happened to be a warp gate near my house. After all, not knowing where they came from will be a disadvantage when buying grain and livestock in the future.

"Is that what you mean? I understand. In that case, I'll have Soleil and Luna help me make it.

It doesn't have to be a very big house. It doesn't have to be too big. It can be cozy. Yes, it should be about twice as big as Beena's house. We can also build a simple workshop as a dummy.

"Yes, sir. I'll take care of it.

Jin was relieved that it was now easier to explain to Bina where he had come from.
