We'll figure out how to arrange the trees with the branches cut off, one by one, away from each other and dry them out.

First, let's try the water magic method we thought of last time.

No, it's water, but not liquid, so I can't manipulate it well...

Then, let's try fire magic next.

This won't work either. I tried to make a fire nearby to evaporate the water, but it started to burn. ........If I continue like this, will it turn into charcoal?

No, I've kind of caught fire...

I hurriedly put out the fire and thought about it. Come to think of it, I think I saw on TV a long time ago that charcoal was stuffed tightly with wood and burned in a kiln....

Then I summon earth magic to cover the tree and fill in the gaps with the branches I cut off earlier. I make a chimney at the top of the tree and use fire magic to burn it from the base of the tree!

Ooh, white smoke came out of the chimney. That's what it looked like when I burned the raw wood.

After a while, the white smoke stopped coming out of the chimney. I stopped the fire spell as it seemed to catch fire if I burned it any longer.

However, since there was a fire that had spread, we covered the kiln with earth magic soil. The fire would be extinguished after some time.

Now, let's leave the charcoal making process to continue, but we need to think about drying the wood.

........If fire is not good enough, maybe heat? Sauna...no, evaporate the water in a desert feel?

I wrapped the tree in wind magic and started a fire at a distance, sending heat into the tree. In addition, I expelled the moisture from the air. Unlike the tree, this one is a water molecule, so I was able to control it well.

I mean, it's too difficult to manipulate three types of magic at the same time: wind magic, fire magic, and water magic!

After 30 minutes of continuous operation, I'll release the magic and check the tree.

I think it worked somehow.

'Grandpa~'

I called over to my grandfather to check on him.

'Did you do it right?'

I think I could...

Let's see.

Then the old man checks the dried wood.

'It's good, isn't it? You can use this stuff.

Ain't that great, Shu? What's up with those mountains over there?

Cruz, who was training with his grandfather...or rather, playing with his grandfather, pointed to the charcoal kiln.

I was trying to dry it out, but it got burned when I was roasting it over the fire, so I made some charcoal. I don't know if I got it right.

Then let's have a look!

Cruz ran out and dug into the mound of earth.

Ouch!

Kurus shouted, as if he was still hot from the digging.

No, I'll use my magic to clear the dirt. I mean, how's your hand?

It's not like you've been burned.

I went to the side of Cruz-kun, who was huffing and puffing his hands, and used ground magic to clear out the soil.

I'm sure you'll find a lot of black charcoal coming out of the inside.

Oh, I think it worked!

I think so, hang on a second.

I said, and I used the air cutter to cut some wood.

'Yeah, it's all charcoal inside. Probably a success!

I roughly cut the charcoal and put it in the item box.

Then I'll dry the other wood.

I'm going to continue my training with my master!

But first we need to eat.

That being said, I was definitely getting hungry.

I looked at the grandmothers, and apparently they were making lunch for me.

I took the table and chairs I had been making in practice out of the item box and helped them prepare lunch.

The soup was even better than before, probably because I bought some spices in town.
