Ove's personal dimension.
Inside the thatched hut on the mountain top, a group of maids bustled in and out, accompanied by a frustrated voice.
"Andrew's Leg! That's sulfur! Be careful! There's just one ore, and it's not enough for my experiments, don't spill it! That little bit of dust is worth at least one-tenth of a copper coin!"
"Oh~ Young Master Lin Ke above! Who allowed you to touch the glass?! This is a creation of Master Ove!"
"Faster, faster! Move faster!"
"Slower, slower, put it down gently!"
Granny Hisai, old yet vigorous, stood with hands on her hips, her back hunching, shouting at the maids who were moving things, her voice loud and clear.
Most of what these maids were carrying were refined sulfur ore and saltpeter, along with some charcoal that had been burned.
These maids were doing such tasks for the first time and were not very skilled, which made Granny Hisai quite anxious.
