Black tea with a lot of ice was perfect for a hot summer.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(e)l/bin(.)com

“They are not surprised, huh?”

Joshua and Martha looked curiously at the three siblings who were enjoying the snacks.

What was so surprising about fruit tarts and iced tea? The siblings wondered.

“......Ah! Come to think of it, it may be our first time drinking black tea chilled with ice (in this world).”

In this world, refrigerators, which were commonly used in their previous life, did not exist.

In Palace, they would cut the ice into blocks during winter, store it, and use it carefully. Using it to cool drinks was too extravagant, so they had never done it.

“I was pretty lucky to be able to get my hand on a good quality magic stone.”

Joshua took a small box from Martha.

Something else seemed to be in the box containing the sweets.

As soon as the lid was opened, a whoosh of cold air blew into the room.

“This stone is a magic stone that can store a magician’s powers. It is very valuable because even in the Kingdom, there is only one magic stone vein, and the country has a tight hold on it. This one has ice magic stored in it. That’s why I asked Martha to use it to make ice.”

The slightly bluish magic stone had lowered the room temperature. It was cold enough to make ice in such a short time.

Joshua looked at Martha puzzledly.

“Oh, I’m sorry! There’s no way Joshua-sama‘s magic stone and my grandfather’s kairo can be the same, isn’t it?”

A little of Joshua’s money must be a huge sum. Martha hurriedly apologized for saying such a rude thing.

“No, that’s not it. The word kaino? and hararaki? Was it? It was hard to catch...”

“Eh? Um... Did you mean kairo and haramaki?”

“Khairo? Haikiki?”

“Joshua? Isn’t your hearing too awful? It’s kairo and haramaki, okay?”

“Karoi and harikiri?”

“............?”

“............?”

“............Joshua, can you please go see a doctor?”

Joshua just couldn’t catch the words kairo and haramaki no matter what. Maybe he was tired. They became a little worried.

Even though he could converse about other things just fine, why only kairo and haramaki......? ......!
