Magi Craft Meister

84-16. A little old story.

Under the tree of the cherry, a voice called out to the innkeeper.

Excuse me, Jin Nido-sama, can I have a moment?

Looking up, Ernst II, Emperor of the Shoro Empire... Ernst Lupus von Richt Schoro was that person.

Your Majesty, I can't even say hello. I'm sorry.

No, I don't mind. I'm rather glad you're enjoying it.

While saying that, Ernst II sat down next to Jen.

Elsa had figured it out a while ago and had given up her place... "

"There were a lot of people around me, so did I stop?"

Yeah, well.

"I'm done with such troubles."... Actually, I wanted to ask you something in this garden. "

Well then, let's get our seats ready.

"No, it's fine."

So, what do you want to hear?

"... can you call Rayko Eunuch?"

"Yes, Reiko, come here."

"Yes, Father."

Jen called for Reiko. It was originally kept close by.

"Oh, Rayko Yan"

Is there anything I can do for you?

"Hmm. If only I could, could you tell me about the [Emperor Daimyo Mother] who made this garden?"

Reiko, I want to ask you something.

"... I see."

When Ren said that, Reiko nodded honestly and began to talk...



The time was 3465 CE.

Jen is 29 years old, and Emperor Taishang is 57 years old.

Jin-kun, I need to talk to you.

What is it, Your Majesty?

Emperor Taijing was visiting the Mansion after visiting Jen who was staying in Reuzart.

By this time, this kind of thing doesn't go well with everyday tea and meals..., but it happens once or twice a month.

At first, it was Jin who was confused, but now she is completely used to it.

I want to improve the backyard of Miyagi.

Yes.

So, I'd like to make a garden like that, as I saw in [Mitsuho] before.

Oh, I see.

In a nutshell, it's "What a Japanese Garden".

The garden in Mitsuho's guest house was originally a more typical Japanese garden, but the subsequent renovation made it quite different from the original.

However, Emperor Taijo seemed to like the nest.

"A garden with as few artifacts as possible." You could say I've moved some of the nature. I want a garden tomorrow. "

"That's right..."

"Jin-kun seems to be familiar with Mitsuho culture, so maybe he can do it?"... you can see the garden behind this mansion. "

Yes, at the back of Reuzart's mansion is a small Japanese garden made by Jen.

The Empress who liked it was Emperor Taishang.

I think we can do it.

"I knew it! Then please, Sir Jin Nido."

Yes.

“I'm going to ask you for a formal job. Please maintain the garden in Miyagi's backyard."

Got it.

Thus, in response to the intention of Emperor Taijing, Ren was to carry out garden maintenance.

So, I'd like to ask you about most things.

"Of course. Just ask me anything."

"Yes... first of all, how big is it?"

"Well, maybe it was about 25 hectares."

It's quite spacious, isn't it?

Yeah.

“Where on the premises?”

"About northwest..."

What's the sunshine?

Except for being close to the palace.

“Does the water spring?”

"There are some wells."

“What do you want to plant?”

If possible, I hope you can enjoy it in all seasons.

After these exchanges, Ren cemented his idea.

That said, that day will be over, and Ren will submit a detailed blueprint at a later date.

The Shoro Empire will also issue a formal request.

... and in three days.

Emperor Taishang visited Jin's mansion.

Your Majesty, I'd like to ask you a question.

"It's okay, I'm happy to go out like this."

"I see..."

During the Emperor's time, he could not imagine such a good fortune, so Jen gave up on the reaction.

I wonder if that's how it was done.

"Yes, this way, please."

Jen guided Emperor Taishang to the reception room.

A simple model of the garden is placed there.

Oh! It's so easy to understand!

In short, it is a diorama.

The outline can be seen at a glance, including the ups and downs on the ground.

The reference is a large garden-style park in Shinjuku.

When I was in modern Japan, I visited several times.

With a low entrance fee, it was a great place to bring the kids from the facility.

"You make a pond in the middle of the garden." I hung a bridge over it so that I could circle around it. "

"Yes, the pond is not in a simple form, but has about two places that are twisted and bridged. We'll also build an island in the pond so that we can cross it.”

Sounds good.

Emperor Taishang, who seemed satisfied.

Jen's explanation still continues.

“We basically make it lawn so that many people can see it, but we will set up an area where the flowers of the four seasons can bloom.”

Oh, that's nice.

"Specifically, spring flowers, summer flowers, and autumn flowers. We have a small number of flowering trees that grow flowers in the winter.”

Yeah.

“However, we will also do a random placement so that we are not biased too much.”

That's right.

“We'll also create a greenhouse if you request it.”

"Greenhouse! That's good."

He explained that tropical flowers can be cultivated.

"Let's plant aquatic plants in the pond. I hope we can keep fish if we can."

Yeah, yeah.

After that, I thought I'd set up a bench or a Shia so that I could rest.

Yeah, we'll have a garden party, so we'll need it.

Is it a garden party?

“Yes, I wish I could invite the public, but I can't.”

……

But Jen made another suggestion.

In that case, let's set up a national park separate from here.

"National Park?"

“Yes, it's a national park, and it's a national retreat.”

"Oh, that's a good idea!"

Nevertheless, it will be another occasion.

We're talking about the backyard.

“Now, let's create a multipurpose arena around here.”

“Oh, yeah. It'll be a stage, and you can call a symphony.”

Thus, the design of the garden was packed into details.
