Magi Craft Meister - Vol. 3 Ch. 13 - A Girl With Red Hair

[Elrinion]

If you're wondering about her being added to a possible harem:

Heavy spoiler:

Spoiler

Beana ends up marrying a very nice local duke after Jin doesn't even acknowledge her as a woman. But don't worry, he's not that dense. He eventually marries another girl and story proceeds with only his wife as romance. So no harem in sight.

On a note about diseases like scurvy being common modern knowledge but unknown from earlier times, if something isn't a problem then we don't really look into it.
One example i'll bring out was the Roman Fever, basically malaria, they didn't really get malaria very often so no one really cared. As the population of Rome grew they expanded agriculture which needed irrigation. Early Roman irrigation was pretty bad and had a lot of stale water which became breeding ground for malaria carrying mosquitoes.
People still didn't put it together than it was the mosquitoes and microscopic bacteria, they did notice that "miasma" from stale water was likely making people sick, it was a recent change that was linked to the fevers.
So poor people getting sick from scurvy may well be associated with just poor people being poor unless there's something to compare to. If one neighborhood of immigrants liked to ferment cabbage and they were fine from the disease. People would piece the puzzle together.
So the annoying part about the MC coming along and being "oh yeah that is scurvy, eat fruit" is just going to make people dependent on him and not reinforce critical thinking skills. xD

I want to magi craft myself a machine to produce tasty meals for me. The meals I cook are very bland.

@GoblinGuy I pronounced it "she-tron" in my head as a work around but yeah, hard not to see the "shit" in it xd

Shitron sounds like a minor boss from a comedic/parody game. Kind of like Terraria had Fishron.

There's also the obvious problem that there's an ear of corn in that box of vegetables. How did these kids get scurvy if they've been eating maize? Are they only eating 2 kernels a day or something?

Yeah, most scurvy stuff seems to have happened because people were relying very heavily on wheats and other high carb, low vit C foods. I also forgot Maize had vit C, so I'd wager the author also forgot. xD
