Chapter 574: Warmth

After dinner, we gathered in the corner of the living room. There sits a square box. The box was made of steel and had four legs.

A pipe stretches from the box, and it goes out through an empty hole in the wall.

It goes without saying that the settled box is a finished stove. It was decided not to consider radiant heat from pipes as a stove to be installed in the living room. The stove is engraved with a little sculpture and the markings of my elephant workshop.

I also placed a fence around the stove. Krull is not allowed in the house, so as not to be touched by Lucy and Hayate. They are both wise, so you will understand to some extent, but just in case.

For a moment, I remembered that in the previous world, there was a method that “deliberately touched me at a temperature that didn’t cause serious burns”, but it immediately swung away from my head. I don’t want to be too noisy.

There is broken firewood piled on the side of the stove, and the living room is a little narrower, but it doesn’t affect daily life. “It’s quite spacious as it was…”

Our firewood–or the wood dries fast. It was only recently that I learned that it was much faster than usual.

Before installing it in the living room, I tried putting firewood in the fireplace to burn when I could really just say the box, but at that time, Rikete muttered a word.

“I always think that the” “Black Forest” “tree dries up quickly.”

In response, Samya and I rolled our eyes. Because I thought it was normal for it to dry up after about a month at most. The felled wood that was actually rolled into the corner of the garden (including the one that rose the prey carrier) was about that much, or a little shorter and dried, so it was used as fuel for building materials.

The rooms where my family lives have been added, so they are all made of wood. Krul, Lucy, and Hayate’s cabin.

“Eh, is that so…?”

Surprised, Samya was the one who asked me a question. I couldn’t speak well.

Didn’t you know?

Riket said to Samir, and I and Samir shake their heads vertically.

Usually, it takes about half a year, or about a year or so.

That’s right.

With a sigh, Diana says and Lydie takes over. Aside from why Diana knows, what Lydie says is that

“I thought you knew exactly what happened to Atai.”

Likewise.

Helen and Anne sighed like Diana. It seems that the only people I didn’t know were me and Samya.

When I asked the whole family, they thought, “This is the Black Forest,” except for me and Samia. Since Samya and I only know about the “cut-out tree” here, “the tree is slippery and like this” — in my case, I just assumed that this world would get to my head, but I didn’t say anything, so everyone seemed to think, “I don’t think it’s too obvious.” It is a great misunderstanding.

In the meantime, when the firewood was thrown into the stove and ignited by magic, and the sound of banging began to resound quietly, it was said why it dried so quickly. There is nothing to be troublesome because the drying is quick and the bending and distortion does not increase, and it seems that the soot does not come out when it is burned, but I don’t know because it feels badly stored. I’m one of them.

Because there’s not much rain? No, that wouldn’t change in the city. Where else would it be sooner? The Empire was relatively early, but when we talked about things like this forest,

Perhaps the trees in this forest also use magic to grow.

said Liddy.

If you use magic like Krull, it’s no wonder that even if you have less water and nutrients, you’ll grow bigger.

There’s not much water, so it dries quickly.

Diana said, followed by Anne, and Lydie nodded.

Visit for extra chapters.

Although there are mountains in the distance, I thought it was strange that there was a vast forest in the middle of the plain. The biggest problem is that even during the rainy season, the rainfall is not significant compared to the size of the forest. I suspected that other than springing in the lake, there was underwater flow and that the trees had spread to this point.

If you actually dig, the well will sprinkle and the hot spring will come out. There were places where it could be drained, and I didn’t think it was a strange guess. It’s still my magic power to be avoided… hmm? No way?

“Even if the crops in the field are normal… they’re normal for Elf crops, why aren’t they especially withered anyway?”

The field is in our courtyard. In a sense, it was supposed to be in the most magical place. Elf crops grow faster due to their magic power, and some can be harvested several times a year.

Liddy said that if you grow outside of the Elf Forest, it will be different from normal crops because of the presence or absence of magic power.

“I think it’s because we’re not absorbing inexhaustibly just like the elves.”

The Elves need magic power to keep them alive. This is why we rarely see elves in the city or the capital. And it came to pass, after the Elves’ Liddi were pursued through the woods of their homeland, that they came not unto the cities, but unto the cities, but unto the magic.

And even though she was in the dark “Black Forest”, Liddy wasn’t “magic intoxicated” because she wasn’t sucking up magic.

The Elf’s crops may not have the will, but if they don’t absorb a certain amount of magic power by some mechanism, it’s not strange to grow up normally.

“Hmm…”

I roared with my hand on my chin. Huh? I’m starting to feel like I’m at the forge somehow…

Ah, I see.

When I look around, the stove is starting to heat up just because I say I’m here. So the warm air came to me, and I felt like I was putting fire on the fire.

Oh, it’s nice and warm.

“That’s good, this.”

Diana, who doesn’t seem to be very resistant to the cold, comes to my side and puts her hand on the stove.

“Don’t get too close.”

“I know, I know.”

With a small, bitter smile on Diana’s face, she put firewood and rice in the open stove’s mouth.
