"Yeah, sure."

Jin lists the requirements of a high-performance magical muscle.
"Secondary requirements are what about the operating temperature range, i.e., cold resistance and heat resistance? What about durability? What about shelf life?"

"Wow, muscles are certainly important.
It can be said that the specifications required are more demanding than the skeleton.
"The skeleton can meet 90% of the requirements as long as it is strong and light, but the muscles have a lot of performance requirements.

That is the material of the hexenbiest, Jin says.
"A common one is hexenbiest leather. At ......, we have a problem. First of all, demons. What is a hexenbiest?"
"Huh? Well, I learned that it's a general term for creatures that feed on free magical element (ether).

I was taken by surprise and for a moment I was taken aback, but Ernest, who was quick-witted, quickly answered.
Yes, that's right. And the most powerful among them are called "Hexenbiests". There is no clear line between demons and hexenbiests. That's not what ...... is about now."
After a pause, Jin continues his explanation.

In the Kingdom of Egelea, we are currently dependent on imports for such materials.
"Let's leave that issue aside for now. So, a quick review of the reasons for using leather leads us to preservation.

This is one of the reasons why the muscles of demons and monsters themselves are not used.
Perhaps it's because of the materials they are made of, but there is a huge difference in preservation between leather and meat.
"I'll leave it to alchemists to figure out the reason for this, but this leather shrinks when certain magical power is applied to it. Is that right?"

"Yes."
"Here's the problem. If you use it as a muscle, it should only shrink vertically, but by its very nature, it shrinks horizontally as well."

This is the most basic of basics. However, since the difference is only 10 to 20%, it is not effective.

"As it is, the amount of shrinkage is just barely enough or not enough. To solve this problem, we have devised a new method.
When tanning, the leather is stretched by pulling it in one direction. The amount of shrinkage is then the sum of the amount of the tanning process and the original amount of shrinkage.
"Wow, that's really ingenious, isn't it?

Jin thought to himself, "The ancestors who came up with this technique are great, since they have now achieved almost all the performance required of magical muscle.

Today's luncheon is an after-party, so only a very small-scale event will be held.
