"Oh, I'm so hungry......"
When Jin and the others had finished eating Zoni, Saki and the others, namely Saki, Goose, and Vivian, woke up.
"Good morning. You can eat Zoni anytime now.

Saki tilted her head, as if she had never heard of zoni. But Goose and Vivian seemed to know it, judging from their lack of any noticeable reaction.
"I see, so this is

But this was the first time Vivian had ever eaten zoni.
"Hmmm, this is how they season it at Jin's place..."
Goose had eaten zoni in his Mitsuho days, but the seasoning was a little different.

Hannah's eyes light up.
"Hmmm, I wonder what would be good to put in it. ...... leeks are a bit too strong smelling, so maybe kalisu or koroko would be good.
Kalisu is a wild plant similar to kanzou and koroko is a wild plant similar to butterbur.

"Kaina village-style zoni" would be good, too.
Jin recalled that there must have been a local zoni.
There was also a zoni made with miso, with different types of miso (white miso and red miso) and different types of rice cakes (round and cut rice cakes).

While I was thinking about this, Zion and Marikka seemed to have finished eating Zoni.
The sun shining on Horaijima is warm.

"It's nice that it's not cold. ......"
Sion muttered sincerely.
"I hope this is the year we can make peace with the demon tribe.

Then they could leave the northern continent where they live now and move to a warmer place.
But Zion is not so keen on the idea.
"But I'm still attached to the land where I was born and raised," he says.

"But I'm attached to the place where I grew up," he says. "So I guess I'd come here during the cold season.
Maybe it's good to be able to go to a place to escape the cold.
"Yes, that's true. That would be the best. Now, thanks to the djinn, we don't even have to worry about food in the winter, we have a surplus, and it's not too cold because of the heating apparatus.

It's just a rarity to be away from the land of snow and ice," Zion said.
"I see. ....... So, would having a vehicle to get around make life more enjoyable?"
"Vehicles like ......<

"That one is good, but it's hard to mass-produce.
Mainly because of the materials.

"But maybe we can make a smaller version, one for each clan. We could use them all year round to transport materials.
Jin muttered.

That's right.
Jin was thinking of a vehicle that could run on snow and ice using large tires instead of caterpillars.
That way it could be used even when the snow disappears.

"I look forward to it."
Theon nodded, smiling.

"The requirements are as basic technology as possible, is that correct?"
"Yes, that's correct.

Hannah's comprehension is remarkable.
"Hey Marikka, how much snow does the demon territory get?

"Huh?"
Marikka was momentarily taken aback when she was suddenly asked, but she immediately understood what he meant,
"In the residential area, it accumulates within a meter or so. In the mountains to the north, there are places where it can accumulate up to 10 meters.

"Hmmm, I see. A golem horse. ......"

Certainly, there is an option of a golem horse that can be used throughout the four seasons.
Considering the cost per unit, there is not much difference between a golem horse and a snowmobile.
Jin had to admit that <

On Hannah's advice, Jin decides to send a golem horse to the demon territory in the near future.
"That's a good idea."
Theon had seen golem horses in the village of Kaina, so he knew how effective they were.

"Oh, and when you do, will you invite me too?
Hannah also wanted to watch him cook.

"Yay!"
Jin was both excited and a little scared, wondering what would happen in the future ...... if Hannah learned these skills.

"But Jin, how are you going to pay for it? I don't think the demon territory can afford such a price.
Sion said anxiously. It is true that the current demon territory does not have many products to export.

The main products are demon pelts and cubic zirconia from the buried ruins of the past.
They are nice enough for Jin, but certainly a bit weak in exchange for the golem horses.
"Hmmm, I'll think about it. ...... Well, Marikka could pull something out of Onogoro Island, couldn't she?"

Vivian joined in the conversation, not quite understanding what was going on. Saki and Goose are also there.
On the second day of the New Year, Horaijima was peaceful.
