924 - - 05 Establishment of magic engineering
The mere idea of making magical dolls (magi dolls) has brought up a number of issues.
"I think we should rethink this once again," Shuki suggested to Adriana.

Shuki suggested to Adriana.
Adriana said that you are also aiming to systematize known magic. That's it."
"Yes, I said that, but ......".

Shuki continues to speak.
"We are going to put together the magic of making things. Including the necessary peripheral knowledge.
"The magic of making things: ......"

Adriana parrots Shuki's line.
"Yes. How about ......, for example, <
The suggestion was immediately accepted.

"That's a good idea! <
Adriana's face lit up with joy. After all, it must be nice to be a pioneer in a new field.
"In magical engineering we use engineering magic to make things. "And we will also put together the materials.

"Oh, good! Magic tools that can be used by those who cannot use magic or are not good at it. Magic tools that enrich our lives. Magic tools that help people. ...... and <

This is a magic that can increase the strength of an object by enveloping it in magic power.
By using this, it is now possible to make bronze several times more durable than steel.

"That's great, Ado! That's what I'm talking about!"
"Mmmmmm, more compliments!"
Ad," was Adriana's nickname. It seems that Shuki and Adriana have developed a rapport over the months they have been living together.

Shuki said to Adriana, "Now we can make magic dolls (magi dolls), can't we?
But Shuki shook his head in reply.
"Not yet, I think ....... We need to format the

"Yes, Ad, you can do it. I'll help you.
"Yes, with Shuki here, I feel like I can do anything!

MagiLanguage is, in essence, a programming language.
It can be thought of as a language that describes the procedure of magic by using special characters and words.

Most magic circles are circular in shape. This shape is for getting a big effect with a small amount of magic power. In other words, the efficiency is increased by circulating the magic power.
Shuki noticed this and suggested it to Adriana.

"What do you mean?"
"I mean, we can loop the activation part of ......."

The more coils you have, the stronger the electromagnet becomes (of course, it can't be infinitely strong because of the resistance of the winding).
"Oh, yes! Shuki, you're the best!"

Every day went on like this, and before long the season had turned to spring.
Shuki was invited by Adriana to go outside the institute for the first time.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!

The institute is located at the northern foot of a high mountain called Mount Funisys.
The winter monsoon blows from the north and brings snow to the mountain. The amount of snowfall is enormous, sometimes as much as 10 meters, and huge avalanches always occur in early spring, which is why the institute is built underground.
The snow disappears surprisingly quickly, and when one hears the sound of April, the snow at the foot of the mountains almost disappears. This is because in March, the direction of the monsoon changes from north to south, and the wind that comes over Mount Funisys often causes the so-called foehn phenomenon, which melts the snow at the foot of the mountain.

"I have never seen a snowy landscape so much.
Shuki was born and raised in Kochi and moved to Tokyo after junior high school, so he had never seen much snow.
"I see. You know, snow is very cold. And when it melts, it turns into water.

"Ad, I know that much, ......."
"Hmmm, yes, I do."
The two of them stroll around the area, exchanging such conversation.

Shuki was looking for wild vegetables. When he was back home, he used to look for butterbur sprouts, bracken, and tsukushi.
However, against his will, he did not find any such wild plants.
"I guess it's another world after all. ...... I guess we don't always have the same plants. ......"

Having eaten the preserved food in the laboratory for about four months, Shuki was worried about the lack of vitamins.
She had taught Adriana about this, so she was collecting those wild plants as well.
"Look, Shuki, I got so many!"

Adriana was gathering a basket full of wildflowers in her hand.
"They are called cress. It grows all around the water."
"...... Dutch cress?"

Also known as watercress.
In Kochi Prefecture, where Shuki was born and raised, it was often seen in the irrigation canals of rice paddies.
Children were told by their parents to exterminate them, as they were very prolific and sometimes blocked waterways.

They are also sometimes boiled and eaten with hot pepper and soy sauce.
They are more nutritious than you might think, containing a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.
"That's good, too."

Shuki wanders around looking for cress, since the whole point is to make up for the lack of vitamins.
"Wow, it's cold!
The two of them went around collecting cress, occasionally soaking their shoes in the stream created by the melting snow.

"Oh, I'm so tired.
"Me too."
Their legs had become tired after being cooped up in the laboratory all winter.

"Shall we boil the bath today?
"Yes."
Originally, the institute only had a primitive shower, but two months ago, at Shuki's insistence, a bath was built.

Since the water supply was from a well and the sewage was from an underground seepage system, we could not take a bath every day, but we took a bath once a week.
As a side note, what was useful at that time was the beginner's level of fire magic, which Adriana added to her engineering magic.
After taking a breath of fresh air, taking a bath to heal his tired body, and eating green food for dinner for the first time in a long time, Shuki lies down on his bed feeling somewhat contented.

Then he thinks.
"Bonito broth, miso, soy sauce! I'm sure ...... I'll make it for you. Oh, and rice cakes!
We have rice, but we haven't found japonica rice yet.
