"Brother Jin, what are you thinking?"

It was June 13th.

Jin was sitting at a desk in a corner of the workshop of the institute, with a difficult expression on his face.

Elsa wondered what he was thinking and said to him.

"Well, I don't know..."

She responded while her mind was still focused on her thoughts.

The desk in front of Jin's eyes is not for work, but for design and study.

He was thinking about something on several sheets of paper spread out there.

"It's almost lunchtime.

Erza's words finally brought Jin back to reality.

"......Yeah, okay."

"What were you thinking ......?"

Elsa asked between sips of cold barley. She was sure that Jin was not just making things, since he was thinking so much about it.

"Theme."

Jin answered while sipping his cold barley. Then, after swallowing his barley, he asked, "What is the theme of the World Conference?

"The theme of the World Congress..."

He then rephrased it as "the theme of the World Congress," and said

"The World Congress: ......"

"Ah. I was thinking about it in the early spring, and I hope it will be realized soon."

Jin is not a politician. He is not a politician, but he knows that he cannot live calmly unless the world situation is stable. No, he has experienced it firsthand with the Unification Party (Unifiler)>>.

"......"

The same is true for Erza. Therefore, she agrees with Jin's thoughts.

"The network using the monorail that we have just proposed will not have enough impact," she said.

"......Yes, that's what I mean."

Elsa understood.

Since the heads of state and government are gathering for a meeting, there should be a suitable agenda.

But again, Jin is not a politician. Therefore, he is looking for ways to connect the world technologically.

One of them is the monorail ...... rail network. However, this will not spread overnight.

It will probably start in the vicinity of the capitals of the Kingdom of Cerroa and the Shawlo Empire.

This would not be interesting for the other countries that attended the meeting ......, and this much Jin could imagine.

"I'd like to make at least one more proposal that will help people's lives, wouldn't you?"

"Okay. I'll think about it with you.

Elsa smiled as she sipped the cold barley tea Reiko had brewed for her.

"How about ...... technology related to food?"

"Food or ......."

Food, clothing, and shelter are the basics of life. Jin thought that the theme of was not bad.

At the same time, an idea for clothing came to him.

"What is the idea of that Elsa has in mind?

"Not food, but cooking utensils. A pressure cooker, a hot plate..."

"I see."

A pressure cooker is an airtight pot that can raise the cooking temperature by increasing the internal pressure when heated, and can cook food to tenderness in a short time.

Not to mention a hot plate.

Neither of them is widespread in this world and would enrich our eating habits.

"What about my brother Jin?"

"Yeah, I just came up with the idea of farming subterranean spiders.

But not the Horai Island species, but the Mitsuho species. It is the species that makes cloth, which Tenkunhan brought in the other day.

The Huso species (tentative) seems to be a carnivore, so it is not suitable for aquaculture.

We discussed whether they were suitable or not.

"None of them are bad, but I don't think they are good enough for the first world conference ......."

All of them are matters that can be completed within a single country.

"I guess is the way to go."

Reiko then offers some advice.

"Father, a pressure cooker is very versatile, isn't it?"

"Yes?　...... Oh, I see. Yes, they are.

A pressure cooker can make delicious food. That is to say.

"...... can make cheap food taste good."

Food is a great pastime for human beings. If we are going to eat the same food, we choose good food.

Some people even risk their lives for gastronomy.

"To cook tender and tasty sinewy meat and hard vegetables. Cook in a short time. This is very convenient.

"It's very convenient."

The average person can enjoy delicious and tender meat dishes from inexpensive sinewy meats. The wealthy will have a wider range of dishes to choose from.

"Yeah, that sounds good."

But it takes preparation. A sample.

"Thank you, Reiko. ...... Okay, get me the perid reader.

Yes, Father.

The Peridos are the best cooks among the five colored golem maids on Horai Island. Jin called their leader.

"You wanted to see me, master?"

The leader of the green-eyed golem maids came over.

"Oh, actually, ......."

Jin explains his thoughts.

"I understand. A recipe to make low-quality ingredients taste better, and a recipe to make ordinary food taste even better.

"Yes, that's right. No need to have too many. I'd rather keep it to the basics and let each country and each individual devise the rest."

We do not intend to set up everything. Rather, he would like them to use their brains and devise their own ideas.

Erza felt that Jin was changing little by little in this area.

In the past, he would have just laid out the dishes without thinking about it.

"That's all. ......"

While Erza was lost in her thoughts, Peridot leader had finished her explanation.

"Okay, thank you. I will introduce some of them to you.

Jin then turned to Erza.

"About the pressure cooker, I'm thinking of making it a magic one. What do you think, Erza?

Magical pressure cookers consume magic stones or magi-crystals, but the lid does not break and explode.

There is even a story of a pressure cooker that was mishandled and the lid blew off and pierced the ceiling.

"Doesn't that make it something anyone can afford?"

But Jin laughs and says the following words.

"I've been thinking about that too. It didn't make much sense on its own, but now you can get it at ......."

"What is it?"

It's a mana stand.

"Mana stand?"

Erza parrots the unfamiliar word.

"Ah. It's like a gas station in my world. I was thinking of building a mana stand that would supply inexpensive mana to the whole town.

Jin and Erza can make a magical device with a < or <>, but not in general.

They cannot be operated unless they have a <, a magical device like a rechargeable battery, so to speak.

The < that Jin once made in the village of Kaina uses , a specialty of Kaina Village, as a cheap source of energy, but it is difficult to extract any greater energy than that.

"Nobles have mana suppliers in their mansions, but they are not widely used by the general public.

This is something I saw in a former palace when I repaired Princess Rieschen's nanny automata, Tia, in the Kingdom of Klein.

"....... The Randall family also had two such machines.

"But they were not widely used. Instead, they are used in the form of magic tools in exchange for magic stones.

When he and Beena made and in the Blue Lands, they used magic stones as a source of magic power.

This one is positioned as a dry cell battery.

"So, in order to popularize such mana-tank type magic tools, we want to popularize mana stands first.
