So they stay close to the village and continue yesterday's activities.

Jin and Goh are fine.
"Oh, is this the magical tool that makes the water taste good!

"Yes, it is. Yes. All you have to do is to submerge it in a water jar. And once a month or so, a whitish stone-like substance called a skeil accumulates in this net, so please take it out.
"Okay."
"Oh, the skeil is valuable, so it is good to keep it.

Is that so?
"Yes. It can be a resource for light metals such as magnesium and calcium.
"I don't know about that, but if it has value, I won't throw it away.

"Well, how much is it?"

No, no, no, he's been very hospitable.
"Is that so? ...... but can you make more of this?
If you have the materials.

How much would it cost?
In that case, I'd say 300 dollars per piece, including materials. I would say about 300 Tall (about 3,000 Japanese yen) per piece, including the cost of the ingredients.

It is cheaper than the water purifiers that are commonly used in Japan today.
"Nah... ......! That cheap?"

"That's what we believe."
"......Thank you. ......It is somewhat similar to those people, isn't it?"
"Those ...... are the technicians who come to this village?"

Yes. Yes.
Hearing this, Jin thought that he would like to meet them soon.

"It's a fossil of a mollusk."
A fossil of what on Earth would be called an ammonite.

"They used to say that the shells were turned to stone by magic.

Actually, it wasn't magic, it was just the years.
"But it's strange when you think about it, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is."
"Oh, there's another fossil."

"Oh, this is a fossil of a leaf. It must have been washed up and sunk to the bottom of the sea and became a ...... fossil."
Saki told us that we can estimate the vegetation of the time from these fossils.

On this day, he is talking to Aban Sada, another village elder.

Yes.
Then, can I tell you a fairy tale I heard when I was a little girl?"

Elsa is also basically working in the village.
She had already visited more than half of the houses yesterday, so today was much easier.

Not a single person needed a surgical operation.
Thanks to this, we were able to heal all the villagers with healing magic alone.

"Thank you, Erza-sama!
"Thank you very much, you have helped me."
"No, this is what we do."

In terms of receiving thanks from the villagers, Erza is by far the most appreciated member of Jin's group.

Nona, the wife of the village head, said happily.
"Even when we cook food, there is little lye in the water and the taste is not muddy.

"The hard water has turned into soft water.
"I see. The tea tastes very good too.

Some experiments have shown that when hard water is used to brew tea, the astringency is reduced and the taste is lighter, while soft water allows the full flavor of the tea to be felt.

Was that all it took?

Citric acid together with calcium improves the absorption of calcium in the small intestine.

Elsa said that eating yunos (yuzu), a local delicacy, may have some positive effects.
(In fact, even in modern Japan, the theory of calcium intake is still ambiguous.)

It's not a guarantee that they will come," said Jin.
