Chapter 55: Energy Drink

The cold/warm air blower that I test ran seemed to have no problems. Can I start finishing work on this? Just when I was thinking that I could start the finishing work, a problem occurred.

“Atz!”

Brother!?”

“Rosalia, don’t touch this magic tool!”

Oh my god. I had forgotten all about heat conduction. The body of the device is getting hot due to the magic circle to warm the wind. The upper part of the main unit is still fine, but the steel plate near the magic circle of the heat source was very hot.

This heat even though the temperature was not raised to the limit. I’ll have to do something about this. The material that could be used for insulation in this world is …… wood. Wood is readily available.

Then it is very bad that the shape of the body is cylindrical. This is because it is very difficult to paste wood into a cylindrical shape.

“We have to rethink the design and make it a square box shape.”

“Is it a failure, brother?”

“ Yes, it is a failure. I guess you’ll have to wait until another time before you can dry your hair.”

Rosalia’s shoulders drooped in disappointment. It seems that she was looking forward to it. I have done this badly. I hurriedly asked one of the servants to get some mahogany planks for me.

Rosalia’s first magic tool  was completed. It is a lamp magic tool. It is simple  to make, but it serves its purpose well. Rosalia created two magic circles, one to brighten the lamp and the other to switch it on and off, as well as the main body of the lamp.

It was a simple lamp magic tool, but Rosalia was happy to hold it in her arms as if it were precious to her. Of course, I was happy, too. A little magician was born. I’m sure everyone will be surprised when they come home.

The lamp was placed in the center of the table during dinner time as well. Looking at the lamp, she said that next time she would like to make her own “cold/heat blower” magic tool, which I had been making, so I asked her to help me. It would surely be a good learning experience.

After getting out of the bath, Rosalia showed me how she had her hair dried by a servant. Perhaps I could get some new hints. I thought so, but as Rosalia had said before, the output of the wind magic did not seem to be well adjusted, and it kept suddenly getting stronger and weaker.

Each time it happened, her hair was disheveled and things in the room were rattling and shaking. Moreover, it seemed that only a mere breeze was being sent and no heat was being added. This looks cold in winter. Perhaps it was no wonder that Rosalia made a subtle face.

“Big brother……”

Finally it was over, the servant quietly left my sister’s room. I ruffled Rosalia’s hair with a half smile, not knowing what kind of face to make. Half-dried!

Rosalia’s long, beautiful hair was dry on the surface, but still damp inside.

It couldn’t be helped. I felt sorry for Rosalia, who looked up at me with a pissed-off expression. I didn’t really want to do it, but she’ll have to be patient until I finish the “cold/warm air blower” magic tool.

“Rosalia, turn around.”

Rosalia obediently complied. I immediately used magic to create a breeze that was neither cold nor hot, but just right, and I used it to dry Rosalia’s hair.

She must have immediately noticed the difference. Rosalia squealed with delight.

“brother, you are so good at this!”

“Well, that’s because I use it to dry my own hair.”

“that’s not fair, just you.”

“Haha …… When the cold/warm air blower is finished, you can use this wind to dry your hair whenever you want.”

I said that, but Rosalia seemed to like the breeze I created, which was like a hair dryer, and even though it was dry, she begged for more and more. I had no choice but to stay with Rosalia until she was satisfied.

After that, of course, she fell asleep on the bed in my room, snuggled up against me. I was beginning to worry about whether Rosalia would be able to stay away from her brother.

The next day, I decided to improve the “elementary stamina recovery medicine. I really wanted to complete the “cold/heat blower,” but as expected, I couldn’t get the wood yesterday. It would have to wait until tomorrow or later.

Then I would have to dry Rosalia’s hair again today. No, the possibility remains that she won’t wash her hair today.

If I can’t finish the magic tool, I should improve the magic potion at this time in the morning. That way, I can offer it to them during my afternoon inspection of the training grounds. It is never because I want to experiment on human bodies.

Rosalia did not follow me, perhaps having learned her lesson from the last time I created a magic potion. She hates them, Potions. I holed up in the room where I was going to make the magic potion and got right to work.

“well then, we’ll start with the extraction of the pungent ingredient. Um, I should still extract it into another liquid, right? Then I’ll try using …… tabnol solution. It’s tasteless, odorless, and has a proven safety record.”

The physical strength recovery effect may fade, but that’s okay. I think the last one was too effective and I don’t want it to be addictive. I’d like to keep the effect to something like, “Would you like to take one of these when you’re tired?”

I put the elementary stamina Recovery  into a separatory funnel and add a small amount of Tabernol. Hold the lid firmly with your hand to prevent the liquid from spilling out, and shake the funnel well to mix it.

After shaking the mixture and allowing it to stand, it separated into two layers. The lower layer is the elementary Stamina recovery potion. The upper layer, a slightly red liquid, should contain the extracted ingredients.

This extraction strategy seemed to have worked well, and the “sticky” ingredient was gone. The effect was lessened by that. It was just as I had calculated. The color seemed to be lighter than before.

I tried drinking it, but it had neither smell nor taste. Of course, there was no refreshing sensation.

“I think it works, but I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t lost my strength. And I don’t like the way it makes me thirsty. When it comes to energy drinks, it’s all about the thirst, isn’t it?”

I took out a carbonate stone from the shelf where the ingredients for magic potions are kept. I threw it into the separated lower layer of liquid. Immediately, a shrieking, bubbling sound began to emerge. Yes, this is just a material to make carbonated water. Of course, there are other uses as well.

Then, to sweeten it, a large amount of sugar is thrown in. The sugar will immediately nourish the brain, and we can expect the brain to be revitalized.

Beginner’s Stamina Recovery potion : High quality. Restores physical strength. Effect (small). Carbonic acid. Sweet. Vigor and vitality.

“It’s done. It’s not yellow in color, but …… and what’s that last word?”

There was a red liquid in front of me that made a shrieking sound. I drank it down in one gulp.

“Pfft! This is it, this is it. Now if only it were cold, that would be even better.”

I packed it in a magic potion bottle and sealed it tightly To prevent the carbonation from draining out, and took it with me to the knight training ground.
