So, that plot at the end is where the color illustrations of Light Novel Vol.7 & Vol.8 come into play.
Aka., they go to a Wave Pool in Vol.7 and then later to a Beach (not sure if it's in Japan or the Dream World) in Vol.8 (currently Manga plot is somewhere halfway of LN Vol.6).

The flaw I can see with this 'spirit cooler' with this it's you trading your electricity bill with your water bill. Unless she does the dehumidifier spirit first and drains water in the bath tub; And then do the ice spirit.

Thanks for the TL. The meme page on the spirit cooler idea had me chuckling. I wonder though if Marie could do some sort of composite or combined function spirits to make a spirit that can do full air conditioner duties.

Water is comparatively cheaper in Japan than electricity if compared to most other nations.

Whether it's actually cheaper depends on how much water is used, but assuming 100% efficiency, you can probably estimate it takes a couple hundred liters. That might sound like a lot but its just a few cents versus a few dollars for running an air-conditioner for a day.

A single tiny piece of Raw Onion in a salad or Burger will absolutely overwhelm the taste, almost like magic, everything will just taste overwhelmingly like raw onion. But grill that onion for a few minutes until it becomes clear and damn, it's sweet and yummy.

That's a very dramatic way to pick a drop of sweat.

"That sticky feeling in the summer is because of all the humidity."
It wouldn't be much without the heat.

Doesn't lower the temperature, but lowers the heat transfer rate.

"Heat is drawn towards cold objects."
Not incorrect. Temperature flows towards an even temperature throughout, much like solutions flow to an even concentration.

A very square cube of ice.

And she made a swamp cooler.

That's a very strong fan.

"When the ice melts and evaporates, it loses heat..."
Noun reference error. The ice gains heat from the air, which loses heat. And the air picks up the cool water from the ice, which is what makes it cool.

Spirits are cute.

She's right about her clothes. They're a couple; it's fine.

Troll spirit.

True to her elf roots. Meat eater.

"So don't blame me if I start complaining."
You already started.

It doesn't taste just like meat. The non-meat that comes closest to meat is mushrooms.

She makes some funny faces.

No need to be humble for the sake of being humble. Be humble in how you deal with other people.

"Wait, where exactly do you think you're fat?"
She's a manga girl. They think they're fat by default, and any increase in weight makes them obese. Whereas most real people think they're on the thin side (how far varies).

Vegetable tempura is like the fries with a burger. The burger is generally fine, but the fries is where the real imbalance is.

Water is comparatively cheaper in Japan than electricity if compared to most other nations.
Water is basically nothing here in Sweden too.

Sigh. I didn't want a refresher course in HVAC early in the morning but yes, the reason why we sweat is that our body tries to exploit the cooling effects of evaporation. It's true that humidity in an area plays a big part in air-conditioning but we also need to be careful to not bring it down too much as it can have negative effects to your electronics.

This is only assuming it's the summer in a very humid area. Winter season in a low humidity areas also requires different precautions as well.

To all you guys who will have a hot summer because ACs are too expensive to install in EU, my thought and prayers from a room with AC in SEA.

Jokes aside we do need it. Jakarta is notorious for being able to cook someone alive by just standing outside for long periods of time. Only place worse in terms of humid heat is India’s notorious tarmac melting season…but they have a season, and we don’t have a season that’s not a variety of a steamer.

She should've made the water spirit dump it back into the bathtub, that way it would've been perfect.
