I don't know what the old man was going to say, because Jin said it with a happy expression on his face.

<...... Yes, buckwheat. I will sow it as soon as possible.
Buckwheat prefers cooler climate.
Even though Horai Island is in the subtropical zone, the mid-slope of Mount Horai, which is 3,000 meters above sea level, met these conditions.

Actual magic uses mana as its energy source. If you convert mana into free magic element (ether), it means that you are working to decompose magic.
And since it converts the free magic element (ether) into a form that can be used by you, that is, into magic element (mana), it is truly killing two birds with one stone.

"Oh, I see. We have never seen this metal on Earth."
In this world, perhaps because free magic element (ether) is added as a nucleon, there are some substances that even Jin does not know.
Adriana Barbora Zetsi, the previous Magecraft Meister, knew most of them even if Jin did not, but there were still unknown substances.

Mechanical properties are similar to iron. But the melting point was unusually high. About 5,000 degrees Celsius. No wonder it was used for spaceships.

The transporter also needs to specify the coordinates of the destination precisely.
The point is that the transfer will fail if there is a solid object at the destination.
Experiments have shown that the transporter bounces back to the destination.
