Chapter 70
It was almost evening when we finally arrived at Aria-sans place. I wonder if we went a little overboard from touring around various places?
Ah, its Seiji-ojiian-chan!
Hey!Whats that you were about to say just now!?
Oh hey there, Seiji-san, Aya-san and Elena-san, please come in. Its good to see you guys again. Aria-san too and its good that youre doing well more than anything.
After greeting, Elena hurriedly performed health checks on the children and see if they have any injuries and Aya began to play with the children usingWind magic. I borrowed Arias kitchen and began preparing to cook.
First, I mixed baking powder, sifted flour, a pinch of salt and sugar together. Then, I put milk and egg in a separate bowl and mixed them well while putting in the flour from a little while ago bit by bit, mixing a drop of cooking oil and vanilla essence and the batter was completed.
Hey, everyone. Clean up the top of the table.~ Ye~s.
While everyone observes, I put something in the middle of the table like a certain Dane.1
Whats this~!? Magic tool? Anchan, t-, this is!
Its a hot plate!!
I said with a smug look.
Anchan, what are you going to do taking out an electric hot plate, theres no outlet here?
Aya said so with a stunned look.
Fufufu! Clever Aya. You think I took this out without thinking? W-, What did you say!?
***
Back to several days ago, I confined myself in my room after dinner and took out some things and began tinkering.
Testerrr!
I took out a machine like a certain robotic cat2 while my cry echoed inside the isolated room
The description of theTesteris a portable instrument for measuring electrical currents and voltage. Incidentally, my tester can also support AC and furthermore it can also measure frequency!
I switched the tester to voltage measurement mode, I held the black and red tester rod with my left and right hand and activated theLightning magicslowly. The number in the digital display gradually increased, when the volts reached 100V, I secure the magic powers strength and maintain it.
For now, I can maintain a 100V DC.
Now, I switched the tester to AC frequency measurement mode and invoked the magic in the same way. But this time, the display didnt change. I tried to control theLightning magicand exchange the positive and negative many times. Although the frequencys value increased little by little, it was far from reaching 50 Hz. I imagined a generator which rotates at 50 revolution every second and the frequency rose at once. Finally, I was able to successfully create a power supply of 100V AC 50Hz, I practiced repeatedly for awhile to be able to cast the magic stably.
***
Nowww then, lo and behold!This is my new magic, its calledOutlet magic3!!
I picked up the hot plates plug then touched the earthed exposed metal parts with my right hands index finger and thumb and invoked magic, the hot plates power indicator faintly shone.
Anchan. What is it?
Its somewhat simple. Yeah, well
Then Seiji-sama, what happens after this? Ehm, the plate will gradually become warm. It will become warm
Elena cautiously touched the hot plate.
Oh, its warm!
When Elena reported so, all the children began to touch the plate together.
Its true, its warm.~ Oy!Dont touch it too much because itll gradually become hot, its dangerous!
Elena and the children became quite and suddenly retracted their hands. Yoshi yoshi, good children.
Well then, Ill start cooking.~
And, I noticed a serious mistake. Because I need to maintain the outlet magic with my right hand, I can only use my left hand. I somehow managed to take out the toolsfrom the inventory with only my left hand but its impossible to cook as expected.
Aya, sorry but can you bake it in my place? Okay but, are these hotcakes? Yeah. Well, if its that then even I can do it.
Aya just went with the flow, she scooped the batter with the ladle and tried to pour it on the hot plate.
Wait wait!Oil it first. Ah, is that so?
Its not is that so?! Will it really be alright to leave it to Aya?
Well then, Aya-oneesan is going to bake some delicious hotcakes.~ Wow, oneechan daisuki.~
Shit, if I could only use my right hand, I wont fall behind Aya. I grieved over my mistake.
When Aya bakes an ill-formed hotcake, it caused an applause from all around. When you look closely, its a little burnt!
Aya divided the hotcakes into 8 equal portions and handed it to everyones plate. But, my portion wasnt on my plate!When I look for my shares whereabouts for a minute, there are 2 pieces on Ayas plate!
Oi, Aya-san. Whys my share on Aya-sans plate? But Anchan, you wont eat because you cant use your right hand, right?
Heartless, too heartless, this is too much! When I hang my head down low
Then, okay, say ah.~
Aya took a bite-size piece out of my share and brought it to my mouth with a fork. Aya, Im sorry that I doubted you.
Aaan.*munch*
Oh, delicious. The hotcake I received from my imouto seemed somewhat different. How should I say it? It tasted a little bitter A bitter taste?
Oy Aya. Wasnt the hotcake you shared to me was the most burnt part?! Well, since Anchan is the oldest, I think a little bitter taste had a better effect. What bitterness, its merely burnt!
Calm down, are you fine with this partition?If so, Ill put lots of honey. Here, Aaaaan. Hey hey, stop *munch munch*
Being force-fed with hotcake full of honey by Aya, it was indescribably bitter and sweet. And, the area around my mouth became sticky.
Seiji-oniichan, Ill also feed you.
Minya the nekomimi girl also came and tried to feed me with hotcake, imitating Aya.
Okay, Aaan. Aaan.
When Im done eating the served hotcake, other children also came to me one after another and began to launchAaan attack. When I somehow breakthrough the enemies waves of attack, the unexpected last boss appeared at the end.
Seiji-sama, Aaan. E-, Elena! W-, Was it no good? No, Ill also receive Elenas. Aaan.
Ill finally receive ElenasAaan, I have no more regretsmy face broke into a grin while thinking such a thing.
It seems, I became careless this time.
Thanks for the foo! N!?
A moment of carelessness, the fellow stole something unthinkable. Its Elenas hotcake.
Youre cruel, Aya-san. That one was for Seiji-sama. Why did you eat it. Elena-chans hotcake.~ Delicious.~
On the spot, I dropped to my knee in defeat.
Translator notes and reference:
1Im not sure what this Dane is, but I found something while searching all over the net, which is Dane Cook. 2In case you didnt get it, its referencing Doraemon. 3Any naming ideas? Should I call it Electrical outlet magic to be more specific?
