Jin had Reiko take the samples and went to D'Souza's office.
"Jin, what do you have there?"
Jin meets Reinhard and Mii in the hallway. They were discussing tomorrow's schedule.
"Jin, what is it?"
Reinhardt was curious about the tools Reiko was carrying.
"It's a construction tool. This is a pickaxe, this is a hammer, and this is a drill."
"Hmmm. The drill has an interesting shape!
"We're going to Mr. D'Souza's now."
Jin said,
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Reinhardt's reply was quite natural.
"Mr. D'Souza, are you there?"
Jin asks D'Souza's room in the staff building.
"Oh, my God, Jin-sama, what is it yet?
"I've prepared something nice for you, please take a look."
In the lounge of the staff building, Jin showed Reiko the tools he had prepared for her.
"Well, that looks interesting!
"A hammer, a pickaxe, and a drill."
Jin explained briefly.
"I know what a hammer is, but what about this?
"This is how to use it."
Jin first teaches how to use the pickaxe.
But all he does is swing it up and down.
"Ha-ha, this is good. It seems to be an efficient way to dig up areas with pebbles.
D'Souza, who seemed to be a person in the field, immediately understood the usefulness of the pickaxe.
"And this is a drill.
"A drill?"
"A drill? Well, do you have anything I can use to make a hole?
Mii thought for a moment, then went to the kitchen and came back with a big jar.
"How about this jar? It has a chipped rim, and I'm thinking of using it as a flowerpot.
"Then I can make a hole in it.
Bottles, or ceramics, are a very hard material.
It is also fragile, so making a hole in it requires not only tools but also a certain amount of skill.
Jin turned the bottle upside down with the bottom facing up. He places the tip of the drill in the center of the bottle and starts to turn it.
"Oh!"
The adamantite tip cut through the ceramic without any effort, and made a hole in no time.
"This is amazing! That's just like Jin-sama!"
"Jin-sama, will you give this to me?"
Duzah jumped for joy, and Mii's eyes lit up.
"Yes, I will."
"Yes, I will, and I will be very grateful!
Mii then went into a meeting with Jin to discuss the price.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's a token of our friendship, so it should be minimal.
But that's not how it works.
"But ......"
After some back and forth, they agreed to increase the amount of miso and alum that they were going to receive in exchange for <>, and to share some of the wood they saw at the workshop, which was not available on Horai Island.
