The morning of February 9 was clear.

It was a special experience to see the silvery white mountains turning into madder red by the morning sun from the window of my room.

This is even more so since such mountains are not visible from the vicinity of Loizart, the capital of the Shoro Kingdom.

After rinsing their mouths and washing their faces, the two hurriedly get ready and sit by the window.

"Beautiful .......

"Beautiful."

For a while, Jin and Erza admired the scenery.

"Hey, honey, dinner's ready!

Hearing Hannah's voice from downstairs, Jin and Erza stopped gazing at the scenery and headed down the stairs to Martha's house.

The mountains had already changed their color to silvery white.

After eating a hearty breakfast prepared by Martha, Meane, and Hannah, Jin and Erza bid farewell to the village of Kaina.

"Now, what shall we prepare?

Jin returned to Horai Island and started discussing with Erza.

Then, the old man reported to him.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Hou. ...... Oh, what about the Shoro Kingdom?"

<

"I see. ......"

Jin thought that the wise Empress had decided that it would not be good for the Shoro Empire to make too many achievements.

"I understand. Please keep me informed on the progress of the investigation and any other news you may have."

.

After a short pause, Jin and Erza resumed their discussion.

"In my image, it's a <>.

"?"

Since that didn't seem to be enough to get through to Erza, Hitoshi explained further.

"I could say it's a class that teaches people who want to do hobbies in their spare time."

"I kind of understand ......."

Elsa seems to have understood, so we continue.

"The contents of the crafts are diverse, but it's no use to start with too many, so how about we limit it to two or four and let people go to the ones they like?

"Well, I think that's a good idea, but since it's the very beginning, I think it would be good to teach them the basics and have them all do the same thing together."

In short, it's time for ," Elsa concluded.

"Oh, I see. That's a good idea."

Up until now, the classrooms have been taught in a style, focusing on reading, writing, and arithmetic. Jin agrees with me that it might be a good idea to have an arts and crafts class here.

"And this can be a test case when we open a school in <>.

"Oh, really.

In that sense, it's worthwhile.

"<> or ......"

This was Jin's favorite subject. Drawing pictures, carving prints, kneading clay, making book stands.

Remembering the old days, I pick up the contents that are suitable for this world.

Elsa, who has inherited Jin's knowledge, can provide some support.

"Drawing is essential for studying design," she says.

"Making plates out of clay is also a good idea.

"Making chairs would be a good idea, too.

Reiko also offered some advice.

"For woodworking, I think you should start by assembling the parts.

"Drawing should start with sketching.

"For clay, I think it would be better to bake the clay properly.

Thus, it was decided to start with (drawing), making plates out of clay, and assembling wooden chairs.

"We can use saws, carving knives, needle and thread, and scissors at the next stage.

"Yes, agreed."

And Jin and the others started to prepare.

It was a fun time for Elsa, but for Jin it was even more nostalgic and enjoyable.

It reminded him of his elementary school days when he did not have to think about anything difficult.

"Let's get some drawing paper, too.

He researched , which originated from Mitsuho, and paper similar to < could be made in Horaijima.

The base of this paper is , which means that it has the same structure as , so it is very weather resistant.

Do you need a pencil?

"I want a dark one, like 4B. And an eraser.

He can make a pencil out of hardened graphite. This will be used in later on, but Jin thought that he could use it first in the village of Kaina.

The development of the eraser was somewhat difficult. The point is that rubbing with the rubber as it is does not produce eraser shavings and damages the paper.

"They looked for an additive to make the rubber a little more brittle, but they couldn't find it, so they used magic."

Reiko tells me.

"You used <> ......?"

"Yes. It was difficult to add or subtract."

<

"But this kind of use is possible, isn't it?

"Yes, father. Give them credit.

"Well, I see... the Ames did a good job. I'll tell you later in person, old man. I'll tell them in person later, but tell them the old man also praised me."

The next clay is no problem. We make a few unglazed earthenware in the village of Kayna.

The glue is the next step.

"Yes, I think that's a good idea."

And the wooden chair.

"I'll make a sturdy stool that can also be used as a step stool.

The stool will be made of a component and fitted together. The key is that no nails are used.

"I hope this slightly different construction method will attract people's interest.

"I think it's a good idea."

The preparations are ready.

We'll call it the "arts and crafts class" instead of the "crafts class.

"There's still time. I'll talk to the village head and ask him to notify the whole village. We can open it tomorrow at the earliest.

He is a bit impatient, but he thinks that this time of year the children are bored and it will not be a problem.

He decides to have Golem contact each of the houses.

Butler B and C will take care of it.

Thus, the was held in the village of Kaina.

One miscalculation was that not only the children, but also several interested ladies expressed their participation.
