House (1)
Tiles. In other words, roofing materials. Without them, a house wouldn't be a proper house.
With that in mind, Marylia immediately began thinking about the shape of the tiles.
"Let's see... Considering the amount of clay needed, it's either simple rounded tiles or flat tiles. Rounded tiles seem difficult to mass-produce... But flat tiles might have fragile parts that could break during firing..."
There are various shapes of tiles.
Some are...

I Want to Burn Bricks (5)
With the help of the golems, Marylia transported the bricks into the furnace.
The furnace was specifically designed from the beginning to fire bricks. It was large enough to fire about 200 bricks at once.
While standing the bricks up to ensure airflow, she continued packing them into the furnace. Once the furnace was filled with plenty of bricks, it was finally time to light the fire.
The process was similar to firing pottery. At...

With Famille and her team joining us, the preparations for the store have been moving along at a rapid pace.
By the time the signboard was ready, we had finished cleaning and redecorating the interior, and all the necessary materials had been brought in.
Now, we were fully prepared to welcome customers at any time.
Famille and her team had even brought additional decorations, making the store look even more dazzling. It’s looki...

Now, this is a long-awaited reunion. I should do my best to be hospitable.

Everyone except Disk-san raised their hands. His wife is heavily pregnant, so he plans to leave before dinner.

People of Marquis Shalt’s Household.
Dija-san's return was, of course, also communicated to her grandfather, who lives in her hometown of Wolfanea.
Grandfather has since retired, and Diesel-san, the second son, has succeeded him as Marquis of Shalt. Diesel-san is acting as Marquis while researching together with my brother. He often comes to Christia and frequently visits our home.
The eldest son, Disc-san, continues to work as a knight at the castle. He got ...

The next day, Aoba came and taught me about money. I learned that I could buy one piece of candy for ten yen.
I like the silver one-hundred-yen coin. It shines, and you can buy ten pieces of candy with it!
The five-hundred-yen coin is also shiny, big, and beautiful.
Apparently, you can buy all sorts of things with money.

Wow, that was fast! Both Prince Raymond and Oniisama replied with, “I’ll be there no matter what.”
Even though they’re students, the Crown Prince has various duties and official tasks, making him quite busy.

When it comes to repairing the broken pottery, the first thing that comes to mind is using some sort of glue.
A liquid made by boiling animal hides or tendons becomes something like slime. But when it dries, it becomes strong and solid. It would make a good adhesive to bind the pottery pieces together.
There’s also a method from the Eastern countries where pottery is mended using a mixture of lacquer and flour. Unfortunately, there d...

When it comes to making parchment from animal skin, sheepskin parchment is the most well-known.
Even in the Fractalia Kingdom, where plant-based paper made from plant fibers is now widely available, there is still a reasonable demand for sheepskin parchment, and its production continues.
In very simple terms, sheepskin parchment is "skin that has been thoroughly defatted, stretched very thin, and dried."

After that, Marylia tirelessly dried bricks, supervised the expansion of the brick drying area in between, and had the Terracotta Golems continually thatch roofs.
First, the bricks were left to dry for about a day, enough time for the water to drain out to the point they could be moved. Then they were placed in a sunny spot. If rain is expected, a roof would be necessary, but if the bricks are movable and it's a sunny day, it's better to lay...

For the time being, Yue-chan seemed to be okay, so I decided to find Kurarin and help her out again. I hadn’t confirmed it earlier because I was busy, but there was a rumor that piqued my interest.
And soon, I saw the rumor with my own eyes. There was a line. And at the front of the line was Kurarin.
Recently, I had heard that there was an "old man in the academy's backyard who gives love advice," and I immediately thought of Kurar...

Heart-Pounding Pottery (4)
The main ingredient for the glaze would likely be ash made from burning a plant similar to wheat, perhaps a member of the Poaeae family. Plants from the Poaeae family contain a lot of silicates, so using their ash for the glaze creates a sturdy glass layer on the surface of the pottery, making it resistant to peeling and cracking.
Of course, various materials could be used to make glaze depending on the desired color and texture, but for no...

Breakfast & Experiment No.4
The next morning.
I woke up early and headed to the kitchen with Miria and the others, where I took out several loaves of bread that I had stored in my inventory.
This soft, naturally leavened bread was baked in a special mold crafted by Galvano, a dwarf who runs a shop in the artisan district of my territory.
If anyone familiar with Galvano Ojisama heard about this, they would probably say, "How could you ask a legendary blac...

As the furnace heated up, she began to carefully place the pottery inside.

Given the large quantity she had made and dried, it was impossible to fit everything in at once. She packed as much as she could, knowing she'd have to fire the rest in batches.

When making pottery, Marylia first decided to crush the failed pieces.
"Heave-ho~ Haha... It feels like I'm making medicine or something."
She crushed plates that had broken and were no longer usable, along with failed pots, reducing them to powder.
By mixing this powder into the clay, she could prevent the pottery from shrinking and cracking when fired. She had seen the brickmakers in the Odeil Territory use a similar method.

The result of drinking too much.
I have come a bit late, but managed to come to school. No hangover, no mood discomfort. I think it's because Dirk put on the abnormal-status disabling earring while I was sleeping.
I regret it. I had a light-hearted drinking binge, and I had done it too flamboyantly. That was not me like that. Alcohol is scary. It is the drink of the devil. It is a dangerous drug that makes one's true feelings leak out.
