| Scalding Sands – Fireworks Bleachers | ||
Cater  |
Now, putting aside the fact Jamil is gonna be the one launching the fireworks... | |
Grim  |
I’m bored just waiting here, yanno～ | |
| Choice 1: That’s true… | Choice 2: Yeah, it’s not like there’s anything to do… | |
Kalim  |
Hey hey, don’t worry about it! We’ve got something good here. Look! | |
Trey  |
These are sparklers for personal use. They could definitely be good enough to keep us busy while we wait. | |
Malleus  |
Oh, so these are fireworks that can be enjoyed within one's own hand. As expected of Asim. How thoughtful. | |
Jamil  |
… To be able to receive such words from Malleus-senpai, it was worth hurrying to prepare them. | |
Grim |
I want to do it too! Gimme! | |
Trey |
Here, I’ll light the fire. Hold on to it tightly, and don’t point the tip towards anyone. | |
| *Sound of fireworks* | ||
Cater |
Oohh～ Pretty! | |
Grim |
This is so cool, yanno～! | |
Kalim |
There’s a bunch of variety in the colors and shapes of the sparks. It’s really fun, so give it a try! | |
Grim |
Alright, I’m gonna set fire to 10 of them at once! | |
Jamil |
Don’t, that’s dangerous! | |
Trey |
Be careful not to get burned. If you get blisters, it’ll hurt for a while.
I’ll place the bucket here. Even if it looks like the fire is extinguished, be sure to stick it in water. | |
Malleus |
Clover, you’re quite knowledgeable on how to play with fireworks. | |
Trey |
When I was at my parents’ home, I used to play with fireworks often with my little sister and brother. | |
Malleus |
I see…
It’s no wonder you are so adept at taking care of those around you. Those with siblings are different, I see. | |
Trey |
Oh no, it’s not really anything worth bringing up.
Hmm... Alright, I guess I'll join you guys since it's been a while for me too. | |
| *Sound of fireworks* | ||
Malleus |
With a yellow-green flame spouting from the end, it’s as if it is a broom... How interesting.
…Oya? But the color changes half-way. This is the first time I’ve seen a magic wand that only changes the color of the flames. | |
Trey |
Ahaha, this isn’t magic. It’s changing the colors using a flame reaction.
Mix gunpowder with specific metals and burn it, and each one will change to a different color. Yellow-green is barium, red is lithium, yellow is sodium, and so on. There aren’t that many humans who can use magic, so with a little ingenuity in chemistry, they’re able to have fun like this. | |
Malleus |
I see… I have knowledge in this area, but it never occurred to me to use it for ornamental purposes. | |
Kalim |
Wow～ You sure do know a lot, Trey! | |
Cater |
You guys really are a 'Science' Club, huh~ Here you go, I brought the burnt leftovers. | |
Trey |
I do a lot of experimenting as well. The Science Club isn’t just about cooking or growing vegetables, you know.
There’s also research geared towards science competitions. Surprisingly, there’s many things to do. | |
Kalim |
Amazing～ … All the Pop Music Club does is eat snacks and just chat. | |
Trey |
Well, you all should have learned about flame reactions in class…
By the way… the fireworks that are about to be launched into the sky will also change colors using the same mechanisms. Although, the difference in scale between that and these sparklers are completely different. The effort required to make it is also an a whole different level… In order to make one firework shell, apparently, it can take about two months. | |
Malleus |
To think they put so much effort into something that disappears in an instant…
Humans are incomprehensible. It would be much faster to simply look for a mage. | |
Trey |
Haha, that may be so.
But, I think it’s pretty amazing. To generously pour effort and time into something, so others can enjoy it. Besides, perhaps it’s because these are fireworks that are made with extensive labor that they may look more beautiful. | |
Malleus |
…I see.
Then I shall enjoy the upcoming fireworks festival based on Clover’s words. | |
Trey |
You guys too, how about until the fireworks festival starts, we brush up on flame reactions… eh… | |
Grim |
Wahahahaha! A black squiggly thing is coming out! | |
Kalim |
Ooh, it’s a snake firework! | |
Cater |
Uwa, amazing… The way it moves is so plain, so I don’t think it’s enough to go viral though… | |
Trey |
Haha, they’re not listening at all. | |
Kalim |
If we line up a bunch and then light them, it’s fun because it’ll look like the snakes are racing. | |
Grim |
It’s a race to see how far these squigglies can stretch～! | |
Kalim |
Trey, Malleus, come over here, and let's do it together! | |
Trey |
Alright, alright, we’re coming. | |
