Kaito followed Rei into the dining room.
A long table that could seat ten people was placed in the center of the dining room, with a large chandelier installed above it.
Multiple paintings decorated the surroundings, all depicting plants and flowers.
Besides that, the room's color scheme was divided into quarters from the central table. The blue, green, red, and yellow walls created this effect.
And straight ahead through the dining room was the kitchen. The entrance appeared to be between the red and blue walls.
"The kitchen is quite spacious too. There are even tools like ones I've seen in another world."
What Shinigami noticed was the stove. Rather than lighting a fire in a pot, they apparently used a stove. And instead of using gas, it used magical power to generate fire.
There was also a faucet for water use, which seemed to produce water through magical power as well.
The stove and plumbing were magical tools, and there appeared to be something like a tank for storing magical power.
There were also switches to activate the magical tools, with patterns drawn on them. Those must be the incantations for activation.
It seemed that magical tools could be used even by servants, not just magicians, as long as magical power was stored in them.
Kaito looked around the kitchen, but he saw only items he had used before and couldn't spot any suspicious magical tools.
"From what I can see of the magical tools, there shouldn't be any problems using them... but are there any dangerous ones to touch?"
Even with familiar items, it would be easy for a magician to make dangerous magical tools. That's why one shouldn't carelessly touch things in a magician's dwelling.
"That's fine. If you know how to use them, there are no dangerous items. However, please don't use too much magical power when using magical tools. We only have barely enough stored for one week and can't replenish it. This tank has a magical power meter, so please don't exceed one mark."
"...Understood. I'll be careful about that. So everything uses magical power from the same tank?"
"Yes. If you could lightly wash these vegetables and rough-cut them all to the same size."
Vegetables and mushrooms were placed in a basket in the direction Rei pointed. No poisonous mushrooms were in sight.
Kaito immediately began washing the vegetables lightly. The pattern glowed when he turned the faucet, and water flowed out. The magical power meter seemed to flash during use.
"Having only a week's worth in the magical power tank probably means they won't stay at the mansion longer than that."
Since there wasn't enough magical power for barriers, perhaps it was impossible to replenish the tanks with new magical power.
She didn't hint at magical power tank replenishment to Mary and the others, possibly because she knew everything would be finished within a week.
