07-14 Sneaking Into the Ruins

After that, they had lunch in the carriage . The butler Claude tactfully went outside to eat, and it made Jin feel a bit guilty, but no matter how Jin tried to persuade him he stubbornly didn’t listen and so that’s how things were .

The dinner was bread and fruit prepared beforehand . And then at the critical moment Jin took out his thermos flask .

“Ah, hot . Why?”

Elsa was surprised that the Teee inside the thermos flask had retained its warmth . Jin smiled and,

“That’s something called a ‘thermos flask’ . ”

He explained .

“Does it use magic?”

Elsa tilted her head and asked .

“No, it keeps the contents warm as if it used magic, but it doesn’t utilize any particular magic . Although I did add [Clean-up]’s Magi Formula to it, but that doesn’t have any connection with the heat insulation . ”

“Then, why?”

“Yeah, I’m also interested . ”

As not just Elsa but also Reinhardt was interested, Jin adjusted his sitting posture to begin explaining while drinking the Teee .

“This is also something I learned from my teacher, but there’s three ways to transmit heat . ”

He began like so . Both Reinhardt and Elsa were listening intently .

“First is conduction . It’s the transfer of temperature between objects . ”

“Uh-huh, if I put a metal spoon in hot soup, the handle will soon become hot . ”

It seemed that Reinhardt immediately digested it .

“Next is radiation . When you hold a hand out near a fire it gets warmer, right?”

After the question this time Elsa replied .

“Mm . Even from a distance, it’s warm . You say that’s radiation?”

Jin gave a nod to Elsa’s question, and started to speak of the third way .

“The third one is convection . As air or water for example warm up they become lighter and ascend, and as cold air is heavier it comes down . Convection is the repetition of this cycle the air does . ”

“I see, so when you heat up a cold room with a fire, and the ceiling is warm while the floor is cold, it’s that . ”

Reinhardt said, and Elsa also spoke of her experience .

“A bath . Without stirring it, only the top is hot while the bottom is cold . ”

Jin clapped his hands together and,

“That’s right . You two are good, huh . ”

He spoke well of them .

“So, this thermos flask, the walls of the container have a hollow structure, and the air inside has been drawn out . Having done that, there’s no way for heat to escape using convection or conduction . ”

Jin said, and Reinhardt’s face lit up,

“And so that’s why it doesn’t cool down very much! Amazing, Jin, what’s that discipline called?”

He got somewhat excited .

“It’s ‘science’ . It’s the study and attempt of explaining all the phenomena of nature . ”

Jin explained, and Elsa gave out a rare smile,

“I see now . One of the reasons Jin-kun is amazing is that he knows this science thing . That’s why all the Magi Tools Jin-kun constructs make sense . ”

She said . Jin nodded and,

“Elsa, that’s exactly right . The science I learned from my teacher, they learned from their teacher, who again learned from their teacher, and like that it is the knowledge attained after thousands of years . ”

He explained .

“Hmm, I would’ve also liked to be taught by Jin’s teacher!”

Reinhardt said, seeming frustrated . Possibly the reason Reinhardt hadn’t asked prying questions regarding Jin’s teacher was out of consideration for him .

Day turned to night .

The moon that told of was hanging right in the middle of the sky . That meant it was minutes to midnight .

“Now then, shall we go?”

Reinhardt asked in a low voice .

“Yeah . ”

Jin agreed .

Elsa was sleeping on the reclining chair . And so Reinhardt gave orders to the butler Claude .

“Claude, please stay here and watch over Elsa . Me and Jin will go to the ancient ruins . ”

“Yes, as you wish . ”

Because Reiko followed them as a guard, with Claude there were no worries . Well, and because the SP were guarding the carriage from the shadows .

Although they traveled the road during the day, during the night walking was hard . Even more so as to be safe they were walking without lighting any lamps . Nevertheless, with the guidance of Reiko to whom darkness was irrelevant Jin and Reinhardt could be at ease .

And then at last they arrived at the entrance to the ancient ruins . From inside the light of magic lamps leaked out, likely because the lamps had been left on .

“Reiko, please somehow check that there’s no people inside . ”

“Yes . ”

According to Jin’s instructions, Reiko disappeared using [Stealth] and approached the entrance of the ancient ruins like wind, peeked inside, and returned without making a sound .

Although there was no way Jin or Reinhardt saw this .

“It’s fine, there is no one . ”

The two were relieved by the report and again set foot inside the ancient ruins .

“Now then, Jin, where should we start? You’re probably well-informed so I’ll follow your instructions . ”

Reinhardt said . Jin lived in a mansion that had a Warp Gate, even though it was small, and for that reason Reinhardt must’ve referred to Jin’s judgment .

After thinking for a bit Jin replied .

“It must be underground . If it’s an important storehouse, surely you’ll build it underground . And I dare say there’s no doubt it’s hidden using concealment magic . ”

Reinhardt agreed with that reply, saying,

“That’s most likely the case . But, concealment magic? That’s troublesome . ”

But Jin shook his head in denial .

“That only prevents searching through magical means . ”

“Eh?”

“If there’s a cave on the other side of the wall, the sound it makes when you hit it is different, right?”

“Mh-hm . ”

“So basically, let’s use [Sonar] . ”

Jin explained and Reinhardt gave a pat on Jin’s shoulder in praise .

“I see! I didn’t tnotice that! Let’s try it right now!”

And so Jin and Reinhardt both went to using [Sonar] magic to search the floors and walls .

“Not here…”

When Jin was about to start on the next wall, Reinhardt yelled .

“Jin! Come see this!”

“What’s up, did you find it?”

Jin ran in a hurry to where Reinhardt was .

“Uh-huh . Behind this . ”

Then Jin alslo tried investigating using [Sonar], and indeed he noticed that on the other side of that wall there was a large cave .

“Having done that, next is how to get to the other side . ”

They could use earth magic to dig a hole, but thinking about the future leaving traces behind would be kind of bad .

Eventually, they decided to dig a different hole from outside .

They went outside temporarily . Reiko who had been standing guard accompanied them to a place around fifty meters away .

“Alright, let’s dig around here I guess . ”

As there was a protrusion of rock making it hard to see it from outside, they chose that place and finally work began .

“[Dig] . ”

Jin dug the hole,

“[Hardening] . ”

And Reinhardt strengthened the walls to prevent a collapse .

Reiko went out to throw the resulting debris far away .

Like that, after approximately an hour, finally the hole pierced through .

“We did it!”

A large room spread out beyond the hole .

Jin and Reinhardt carefully stepped inside .
