39 Episode 38: Let's Make Your Own

Thanks to the vitamins, all the people who lived out of town, including Stella, were feeling better.

And that seems to have been unparalleled good news for the town of Ninolich, where the construction rush awaits from now on.

Whatever. Make it an inn. Make it a tavern. Make it an Adventurer Guild, we have manpower to build it.

In Ninolich, which is a periphery but therefore difficult to gather manpower, that was the situation that even cats wanted to borrow.

Half the people who lived out of town were old, but the other half are still active.

Mr Cullen's story is that anyone who can do field work goes to the field.

The man goes to construction.

You think you're going to assign it to something like that?

And the other half of the elderly said that it could be done with simple tasks.

When I heard that, I decided to implement the plan I had in mind...

◇◆◇◆◇◆

That day, I was experimenting in the kitchen of the store.

Place a pan with water on the cassette stove and set on fire.

Wait a few minutes.

Stop the fire once the water has boiled and float the empty can of cans in the pan.

There are shredded candles in this empty can, and we're going to melt these candles in hot water.

"What about fire... is this about it?

messing with the knobs on the cassette stove,

"Shiloh, brother, what are you doing? Cooking?"

Eina peeked into the pan after cleaning before sales.

Look what's simmering in the pan, huh? That makes a face.

"This...... candles?

"That's right. It's melting candles."

"... are you cooking with candles?

"Haha, no way. I'm about to create a survival match (waterproof match) using a melted candle."

"Huh!? Farewell Town!! Are you going to make Farewell Town now? Aina, this is the first time I've seen you make a Saba City!

Aina gets excited about my words.

He's so excited, he's got a rough nose.

Is this it?

Aina's a cunt who thinks I'm an alchemist, too.

"Oh? If you're interested, why don't we make it together?

"Yeah! Eina's going to make it too!

According to stories I've heard from people I know, survival matches are easy to make with candles.

When I heard that, I found out how to make it online and bought all the ingredients I needed at the neighborhood's 100-yen shop.

Take the match out of the box first.

"Look, Aina, the candle has become liquid, right? To this liquid lol, do the match like this......"

Soak the tip of the match in a melted row and remove immediately.

Then place the chopsticks in the empty space and arrange them so that the end of the match floats to dry the lows.

"This is what's next when Lowe solidifies"

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna open the lid on the vial.

"What?

"This, by" manicure, "I'm actually going to paint it on my nails, but this time I'm going to paint it on a match. Look. This is how you apply it."

"Usuku?

"Yeah. They won't catch fire if you apply too much."

"Heh."

Aina shines her eyes and follows with her eyes the match I have.

"When the manicure dries, it's done. Well, here's the real deal."

"Honban?

"That's right. Because I need to see if I can get a fire to the survival match I just made. So get the finished match...... go"

I grab a few matches I just made and throw them in a glass with water.

"Ahhh!? Shiloh, your brother's naughty, huh?

"I'm deliberately wet. It's not a survival match if it gets wet in water.... All right. I guess that's enough."

I float up a match in the water and give it to Aina.

"Aina, try to see if the fire gets there"

"Ugh, yeah."

Eina received her own survival match.

"Eh."

Rub it against the side of the match box.

The result is...

"I'm on... Shiloh, brother, I'm on fire! Here, look! It's on fire! You're soaked in water and you're on fire!

Aina is so excited.

Because of the tension, I light my own survival matches one after the other.

"That's an experimental success. Aina, have you figured out how to make it?

"Yeah! Probably fine!

"Okay. Then let's make it together"

"Yes."

This is how me and Aina became immersed in creating a survival match by forgetting the opening time of the store.
