Inside the tent, Xiao Mei cast a spell on the box of refacts I had given her.
Her long, black, lustrous hair softly fluttered, and the increased magic power changed shape and settled on the refact.
In the blink of an eye, the refacto box was frozen.
"Done, Alexander.
Let's see: ...... Yeah, the permanent freeze works, but here
Show the box to Xiaomei and point to one of its corners.
Oh, there's a block of ice ......
"Yeah, there's a little bit of a protrusion. I mean, it could be like this--
I picked up another box and cast the same permanent freezing spell on it.
Compared to Xiaomei's that had some bumps and bruises on it, mine was an even layer of ice on the surface of the box, evenly distributed.
"I want them smooth. This is going to be a practical item. See, even a bowl is hard to use if it's not polished and has some protrusions in it.
"Yes, yes! That's right.
"By the way, the finished product is this.
Then he held out a cup that he had prepared in advance to Xiaomei.
"This is ......?
I'm not sure if it's just a cup of ice water.
I offered a glass of ice water.
"This is just a glass of ice water.
"What? But the ice is still there.
Yeah, so the finished product . I cast a perpetual freeze spell over the cup itself, as well as the box itself, on the refacto cup. Invisible, just a thin layer of skin.
"Mr. Alexander ...... amazing ......
Xiao Mei rolled her eyes and marveled.
The goal is to put a permanent freeze just like this one, just so you can't see it. In a box like this or possibly a bigger box.
"...... summer, is it?
I picked up the box and thought for a moment, then Xiaomei asked me, "Wow, Xiaomei, that's great.
"That's great Xiao Mei, you're good.
I made a little move, but I stopped.
When I met Xiaomei, she was still a young girl, but now she has grown up to be a full-grown, mature and beautiful prep girl with an air of maturity.
She is not old enough to pat her head for praise.
So instead, more compliments.
"Not only is she magical, but she's brilliant.
"Oh, thank you.
An embarrassed Xiaomei, I took one of the boxes and continued the story.
Yes, summer. Summer is a time when people tend to hit the food. That's because the food goes bad. But if we put a permanent freeze over the refacto material and make a box out of it--
It will be a storage unit that will never get warm, but will also never freeze out of use.
"Yeah. You'll have refrigeration, not freezing, right? I think it would reduce the incidence of food poisoning significantly.
"I need Xiaomei to develop a spell and technology that can be applied thinly and easily to the refactor material.
"Nah, I see.
Furthermore, say one last thing.
Say this with a smile.
"Avalon's summer depends on Xiaomei.
"--Ha! I'll do my best!

Inside the tent after Xiaomei left.
Eliza came in as a snuggler.
"Alec.
Hmm?
When it's done, sell it to the Empire.
"Selling? No, I'll provide? And that's what I was going to do all along.
"No, sell it.
Eliza said unequivocally.
I know this face.
I know this face.
"Write your name in history, and I want to see it.
You look almost exactly the same as when you said that word.
Then I saw what she was trying to do.
You want to advertise that this is a great item from Vice-Emperor Alexander.
Thank you.
"Why do you thank me?
"A connoisseur's eye, I guess you could say. Or the ability to see the essence. I trust Eliza's judgment. When Elisa says that, it makes me feel like this is going to work.
When I said this, Eliza's eyes widened in surprise, and then she turned away, her cheeks blushing.
"Wow, even I'm misguided sometimes.
No, I trust. in Eliza.
"Me,"?
Yes, as much as Eliza trusts me.
It came out smoothly, but after I said it, I thought, "Oh yeah.
Yes, definitely.
I trust Eliza, which is almost as much as she trusts me.
I can say that with confidence.
So I looked straight at Eliza to tell her that.
Then she blushed more and more, and kept her head turned away.
...... I'll do my best.
I murmured to myself.
I suddenly thought Eliza was cute and embarrassed, which was unusual for me.
