It was 2:00 p.m. and Jin, Elsa, Reiko, Hope and the others were exploring the town of Coco.
"There's a pump, isn't there?

Reiko said.
"It seems to have been manufactured only recently, though."
The pump was the first one made by Jin in the village of Kaina.

It seems that these tools were not destroyed by the League of Magic.
"Is it necessary to evolve not only magic tools but also mere tools more and more ......?"
"Aren't those things imported from Mitsuho?"

Erza responded to Jin's mutterings.
"Maybe so, but for some reason, tools from Mitsuho don't seem to be widely used."
Take bicycles, for example.

They are widespread in Mitsuho, but not at all in Shoro and other small countries.
"Maybe it's just a matter of taste."
Erza says, but Hitoshi doesn't think that's all it is.

"Hmmm... ......"
I think it's too vague to put it all together as a preference,
"I wonder if something that doesn't use magic at all would not be well received?"

Jin says with a thought.
"Well, that might be a possibility.
In the case of the pump, it was accepted by the general public who cannot use magic, but in the case of the bicycle, the target market is the wealthy and above, so it is different in that respect.

"It's difficult to develop a market, isn't it?"
"Hmmm..."
Talking like this, Jin and Elsa continued their tour of the town.

"Oh, a car."
Erza pointed toward a Golem car.

"I don't know that type," she said.
"It was probably made in the Shoro Kingdom," Reiko told me.
Reiko told me.

"I see, they are becoming more and more popular.
"They use magic, don't they?"
"Well then, would it be more popular if they were magic bikes instead of bicycles?"

I don't know about that.
Jin's final decision was that it would be difficult to popularize the idea, since people who could not ride a bicycle would not be able to ride a motorcycle.

He continued to tour the town, but without any further success.
Not many ideas for tools and magic tools came to mind, and Jin and his colleagues returned to <
"I feel like most of the things I've made so far have been driven by necessity," said Jin, as he sat down to tea in his room.

Jin muttered to himself as he sipped tea in his room.
"Well, that may be true.
Necessity is the mother of invention.

Perhaps that is why it is not easy to spread the use of something that is brought from somewhere else because it looks convenient.

Since there seemed to be many overnight guests, Jin and Erza decided to use the bathroom, even though it was still light out.
The bathhouse is in a separate building and is quite spacious. In this cold season, it is nice to have a bath.

If the inn did not have a bath, Jin would have returned to Horai Island by the warp gate to take a bath.
"Ah, it's nice hot water.

It is now 4:00 p.m., and no one has used the bath yet, so Jin is the first one to take a bath.
The same was true for Elsa, who enjoyed her bath without being disturbed.

The dinner was a traditional meal of the Franz Kingdom, and both Jin and Elsa ate it all, remembering the old days when they came here with Zion and the others.
Then, while relaxing in their room, they decided to ask Reiko about the

As a medical student, Shuki Tsetsi, who also had a good knowledge of chemistry, could have reproduced fireworks.
Or, it is quite possible that he had passed down the concept and someone reproduced it in later times.
That is what Jin imagined.

However, the fact comes as more of a surprise to Jin.

Jin didn't pursue the matter any further, since I remember he had only wondered during the day why they were doing that here, but never said anything about who made the fireworks.
"So, your father is wondering why you set off fireworks?"

"Yes.
"It started as a signal that the border was safe."
Jin nodded his head and said, "I can sort of understand that. In the absence of any means of communication, this kind of visual communication is quite effective.

Four hundred years ago, the kingdoms of Klein and Franz had been in repeated skirmishes until the Lafayette family took over the throne.
This is probably why this means of communication was chosen.
"Even after the peace was established, the "wolfsbane" continued long afterwards as a sign of peace and tranquility within the borders."

Reiko said it became a mere event, and at one point an attempt was made to change the color of the smoke.

No, it didn't happen right away. At first we were setting off fireworks in the daytime.
