Chapter 2-8: Volume 2 - Chapter 8 – POPCORN
The next morning . This time Jin brought a basket of orange-like fruits alone, visiting Beana’s workshop . Reiko stayed behind in order to give new instructions to the Maid Golem group on 『Hourai Island』 .
「Good morning」
「Ah, good morning Jin」
「Today I’ve brought this」
Showing the orange-like fruit in the basket to Beana,
「This is Citran」
「I don’t really know about it but I brought it because it’s bittersweet and delicious」
「This doesn’t grow around here? Jin, you, where the heck did you come from?」
It was a natural question .
「Aah, let’s see, could be postpone the explanation for a little while longer? I’ll eventually say it, but right now is a bit」
When Jin said that, Beana seemed slightly unsatisfied,
「Muu… it can’t be helped . Because I did ask for and received help」
While saying that she received the basket of Citran .
「So how’s the condition of the refrigerator?」
「Refrigerator?」
「Aa . The magic tool we made yesterday」
「F-un, 『Refrigerator』 huh? That’s a pretty good name」
Naturally because it was not a name given by Jin .
「And so, about that refrigerator, I’ve discovered one flaw」
「What is it?」
Beana guided to the kitchen where the refrigerator was placed and there,
「Look」
「Aah, I see」
The floor was flooded . The ice used for cooling melted, and the water dripped onto the floor .
「Yeah, what should we do」
「The water from the melted ice needs to not fall down . But then keeping it cool will be difficult」
The result from the 2 thinking, they decided to put the ice in a metal container . The ice that melts would be frozen again to use .
「Copper looks good to use」
「Why? Iron is cheaper right now?」
「Iron can rust so the durability will be a problem . Also copper can propagate cold air easily」
「Is that so? Anyway, Jin sure seems to know a variety of things」
「I guess so . Now let’s immediately reform it」
Putting the minor details aside, the two immediately started reforming it .
There was no problem with the coldness inside so when the leak was gone, the 『refrigerator』 was more or less complete .
「It’s done」
「Ee . Well then, should we make about 3 of them?」
Beana used the prototype while looking for flaws, besides the plans for various tests, they decided the amount to make to market .
「We’ll need to improve the exterior appearance since it’s for sale」
Saying that, Jin made a wooden case painted white . It’s what’s called a 『large household appliance』 . ⚑
「Oooh, this feels good」
Because they had a sample, they were able to complete 3 by noon . They had yet to insert the 《Magic Stone》 so it was not operating .
「It’s done」
「Aa, good work」

「It’s already noon . I can’t offer much, but would you like to eat together?」
「If you’re fine with it」
So Beana went to the kitchen . She seemed to cook something . A short while after, the vegetable soup was finished .
「Nana and Raldo will come and eat, so go ahead and eat first」
Though that was said,
「No, I won’t do that . Right, I’ll bring them peeled Citran」
Saying that, Jin took 2 Citran fruit and together with Beana, he moved to the room of the siblings .
「Ah, Jin-oniichan」
Finding Jin behind Beana, Raldo raised his voice .
「Yo . Today I’ll peel you Citran」
Saying that, Jin peeled the Citran . He peeled it with his hand like with an orange, it was easy .
「It’s bittersweet and delicious!」
Nana was delighted . Beana gazed at the two while they ate with a broad smile .
The two came back to their meal in the kitchen . The soup was cooked with various vegetables, and the seasoning wasn’t bad . However,
「Hn?」
He felt something hard . . Beana to Jin,
「Sorry . The corn is hard right? It was the cheapest thing and so it doesn’t go soft no matter how much I boil it」
Jin stared at the corn and tried to slowly chew it .
「This feeling, could it be… Beana, is there still any of this corn?」
「E-Ee . I bought a bag of it so there should still be about 8 kilograms left」
Jin hurriedly consumed the soup after hearing that and had her show him the corn . Jin looked at what he fiddled with on his hand,

「With this I might be able to do it」
With that said, he had Beana head to the workshop after she finished eating .
「What’s the matter?」
To Beana who was confused,
「I came up with something that can quickly make money」
Saying that he issued instructions to Beana, and they begun making a magic tool .
「Right . 1 medium sized shallow pot… also, 1 large sized dense pot . Hang the shallow pot like this, insert the 《Magic Stone》 below」
While saying that, Jin wrote a 《Magic Formula》 on the 《Plate》 . Seeing that Beana,
「Eh? If my eyes haven’t gone strange, isn’t that a lightning type formula? Wouldn’t you use a fire type for a pot?」
Then Jin grinned and laughed,
「That’s a feature of this tool . Often people see that lightning generated is miniscule, moreover it changes in extremely short intervals」
「Such a thing… can be done」
Jin assembled the tool together with Beana, furthermore Beana,
「Could I have the corn from before, also a little bit of oil and salt?」
Putting the oil, salt and corn in the hanging pot,
「It will be amusing if it works」
Murmuring that, the tool activated .
A slightly sweet smell came immediately after, suddenly 『POP』 was the sound that made together with the corn that popped . Beana who was surprised,
「WhWhat is it?」
「Alright! It’s a success」
One popped, and one after another the corn popped . The corn that popped was collected by the large pot placed below . Soon the corn in the top pot was exhausted and Jin stopped the tool .

「Now, let’s try eating it」
The large pot had collected the popped corn . Jin picked one up and ate it .
「Yup, it’s good」
Beana having seen that, tried eating a popped corn herself . And,
「Ah . Delicious」
She became engrossed in eating it . The popped corn in the pot was quickly gone .
「Fuu, that was delicious . It makes you want to eat more」
「Right? It’s called popcorn . Selling this at the stall will be profitable I believe」
「Ah, that’s right! I’ll try it out immediately tomorrow!」
「Even if the refrigerator is bought no one will look . If the popcorn becomes famous then you might be more known」
「You’re right . I’m glad I can earn my living expenses for now . Jin, thank you!」
「What is it… ah, this, if there’s no hard skin on the corn then it won’t pop well so be careful」
「Really? That’s good . ？I thought it would be more delicious if I used expensive corn」
And so, Jin and Beana decided to go out to buy corn, oil, and salt .
Either way it was cheap so Beana could buy it, Jin received one bag of corn and returned home .
