Magi Craft Meister

01-12 Transport

The next morning, the village men were gathered in front of the village chief's house. To carry wheat, which is a tax, to the village of Toka.

Then do me a favor.

According to the village chief, Rock, a bundler of men,

"Whoa, let it go. It'll be easier this time."

Yes, I plan to use the rear car Jen made to carry it in one go. Until now, I had to travel back and forth a few times between Kaina and Toka villages because I carried them on people's backs and horses, and the effort was not half. That would use twelve rear cars this time, carrying about five tons of wheat at at once. Moreover, it is a slow descent to the village of Toka, so it is very easy to get there, and the return trip should be easy to climb, even though it will be empty.

"You got food and water?

"Ooh."

"You don't forget anything, do you?

"You, follow me."

"Dad, come on in."

"Ooh."

If you wave to the wives and children of the drop-off, it is a departure.

"All right... Dear Tax Officer, you can leave now"

Rock spoke up to Lisia, who,

"Then we'll leave."

The line moved out with the rear car in tow.

"Jin, come on."

Jen was also added to the line. I wanted to take this opportunity to look outside Kaina village.

Licia takes the lead with her horse. Sometimes I turn around and make sure it comes with me. Behind Lisia is Rock, and Jen continues. Because the road is narrow, it's going in one row.

Crossing the Hermé River, crossing a small pontoon leads to a much softer descent.

"It's easy to get down there."

It is the true meaning of Jen. All the rear cars are bearing-specified, but the tired ones get tired.

And when it came to Lisia, she wanted to talk more with Jen during this transport.

Break because it's pioneered where it went for about three hours and the water is gushing.

"Uh, I knew I was tired"

"Ha ha, Jin is weak after all"

"Not like Mr. Locke and the others."

The lock is over 180 cm tall and weighs 80 kg as well. Gin is 160 cm tall and weighs 52 kg. Physically, no enemies.

"Well, but Jin can't do what we can. I'm more jealous of you."

"... May I have a word?

Lisia broke in to talk about Jens like that.

"Dear Tax Officer, what's wrong?

To Rock, who asks,

"Yes, no, let me forget about my job, as long as I'm taking a break"

Say, Lisia. She went on to

"Mr. Jin, it was, I heard you came from afar, is it true?

"Yeah, it's true"

"Really...... You made this Riyaka too, didn't you?

"Yes, I am."

"Dear Tax Officer, this gin is amazing! Build one thing after another to make life easier in the village! I'm glad to hear it!

When Rock said that, the other men who were resting around also spoken,

"That's right! My wife's skin got a little rough soaking up that hot spring."

"You and this guy, only skin is clean, only skin"

"What the hell do you mean," I repeat it twice. "

They are busy men. but it seems that Lisia is only interested in gin,

"Well, Jin is a magician, isn't he?

"Yeah, well, I guess so."

"Oh, uh, so, and beyond, will you live in the village of Kaina?

……

Jen, you can't answer that question instantly. But...

"Well, we shouldn't keep this talented guy locked up in the village forever."

That's what Rock said.

"Besides, Jin will want to go home."

Lisia heard that,

"Oh, you know, is Mr. Jin's home a country called 'Nihon'?

"How did you know... oh, you asked Barbara"

"Yeah, yeah. I asked Mr. Barbara about it in the hot spring. That hot spring is sooo good! Your skin is now tight!

"Ha, that's good.... So, dear tax collector, have you heard of that 'nihon'?

"... it's Lisia"

"What?"

"You gave me your name yesterday. I'm Lisia."

"But I'm on official business now..."

"I don't mind! Guys, please don't call me a tax collector, call me Lisia!

The only hope I had was to call you Mr. Lisia.

"So did you know that Mr. Lisia is a Nihon?

"No, I'm sorry, I don't know"

"Really?"

Because it is a different world, it is stranger to know, so Jen is not so disappointed. but Lisia seemed to think she was forced to look at Jen like that,

"Um, Mr. Jin, I didn't know, but there might be someone in Wang Du who does! I'll ask an acquaintance when I get back, so don't give up hope!

I said with momentum. Jen,

"Oh, oh, thank you"

I could only answer that.

And the line walks out again.

After a long descent, he crossed a small temple and arrived at the Tabernacle at sundown. There is a cabin there that can be accommodated easily, and anyone who travels between Toka and Kaina can use it.

"Man, I managed to get it on before dark."

The lock of the bundle also exhaled in relief. Because it's just dangerous when it gets dark. It was worth walking out early in the morning on a short fall day.

Hurry up and prepare dinner. Serve the stove and pan brought in the rear car with the wheat. And he who makes porridge, and he who cooks dried meat, and he who boils water. Share each and prepare quickly.

Lisia, who saw the stove,

"No way, this stove too..."

"Oh, Gin made it for me"

I heard that

"Oh, I knew it. I'm not surprised what's out there anymore."

and sighed.

If you eat, you have nothing more to do, and you get out a blanket and make a bed for each of them. And just in case, I decided to take turns sleeping and set the order.

"Don't sleep in pairs. First......"

"I'll do it"

That's what Licia said.

"Yeah, but let's see... Mr. Lisia needs to..."

Licia shook her head when Locke said,

"No, I've been on a horse for a long time, and you've all been carrying luggage, so this is about it."

"Really? Okay, well, Jin, it's you."

"Okay."

"Ouch?

"Oh, no, I get it"

"Mm-hmm. Jonas and Linus in two hours, then Bill and Jeff. And Dave and Howard, Rick and Tom, and the last one is me and Jan and Slay."

"Rikai. Okay, I'm gonna go to bed."

That's what I said, I left Jen and Lisia, and they all wrapped themselves around a blanket and started sleeping. Jen and Lisia wrap their blankets around their bodies and sit on a bench by the cabin entrance.

The sky was already dark, and the moon was about to rise from the eastern edge of the mountain. The moon in this world is smaller than the moon on Earth. So I couldn't expect the moonlight.

It is, however, an important object in the sense that it is so, because it measures time in the motion of this moon.

Jen and Licia sat silently for a while, but then Licia talked about it in a pompous way.

"You said my house was a new nobleman."

"Yeah, yeah."

"So I grew up as a normal commoner until I was ten. But since my father was taken by a knight, the environment has changed so rapidly that, honestly, I'm still self-absorbed."

……

All Jen can do is shut up and listen.

"But the current Chancellor is a fine man, trying to do politics (every inch) for the common people. Knowing that, I, too, decided to become a knight if I could, for the good of the common people, for the good of the people."

The story of Lisia continues.

"But what is it for the people? If it's for you, Mr. Jin is even more amazing. Pump, hot spring, rear car, stove. I thought this was the job that would benefit people."

……

"Mr. Jin, am I okay as I am now...?
