Magi Craft Meister

"When it comes to the ship Reiko was running... oh, the outer ship"

It is a propeller rapidly built by Jen in the port town of Potlock. It's an outer ring mounted instead of an oar.

By making the left and right independent and letting the golem row, you don't even need a rudder.

"Yes, that outer ship.... I want to make it for myself when I get home. All right?

That's Reinhardt, and Jen was half impressed and half frightened that he wanted to start a magic operation (Magicraft) when he got home.

"Of course I don't mind.... but okay? What about Mr. Belche?

Reinhardt laughed when Jen said so.

"I don't need to worry about Bell. He knew I was this kind of guy, and he liked me."

Nothing, I was in love.

"Oh well, welcome."

And Jen laughed bitterly, and said so.

The next day, the 22nd. Jens, one line leaves Koju at 9: 00 a.m. for Banne on the other bank.

As Reinhardt said, it's a wide range of shallow bottom ships.

Three such shallow-bottom ships, numbered, leading, are towed by a large ship loaded with carriages.

The speed is approximately 6-7 km/h. It will be about three hours of sailing.

On board are Jen, Reinhardt and Reiko. And Rheinhardt's butler, four Claudes. Beth and Dory, the samurai, were allowed by Reinhardt to return to their hometown of Banne some time ago.

"Banne is my home, a regional city in the heart of Count Randall."

Reinhardt explains to Jen on the ship.

"I hear Jin knows the tax system in the Klein kingdom, right? I've never been to the Klein Kingdom before, but I know you as a diplomat."

Yes, Reinhardt prefaced and then started explaining.

"My empire of Shouro is divided into several territories, each governed independently"

Well, Jen thought he heard about the decentralization.

"Basically, taxes are paid to lords. And each lord pays a certain amount of taxes to the state. There are, of course, direct national jurisdictions. Along the main streets."

Advantages and disadvantages exist both in decentralisation and in its opposite centralisation. As a trend, smaller countries appear to be more centralized and wider countries more likely to be decentralized. At least in this world, and Jen was thinking back to the country he visited.

"Our territory is naturally governed by my father, Wolfgang Randall von Morgan. Among them, Elsa's father and uncle, Georg Randall von Amber, reigns over a town called Exhi as a small territory.... where Elsa's home is."

"Elsa's... Right"

Nobility without territory is also common in the Shouro Empire. Most of them had received about one town in the territory controlled by the main house and ruled there as a small territory.

"By the way, the western neighbor is the Marquis Theodelic territory, and Matheus' house is ruling two towns, Sagina and Mahama, on that Marquis territory."

Quite complicated. Jen kept the revelation in mind and made it a preliminary knowledge of the future.

During such conversations, the ship approaches the opposite shore, enjoying the landscape from the lake.

Around this part of the Shawlo Empire is a large plain, with just the ups and downs that loosen up towards the north.

The May wind across the lake was neither hot nor cold, and the boat proceeded to slip through the waters of the various waves.

When it was over half past, there was a ship approaching from across the shore. It's a shallow-bottom ship that's about a turn bigger than what Jens is on right now.

"That's..."

"Reinhardt!

He was Berche, Reinhardt's fiancée.

"This one would be more comfortable to ride, wouldn't it?

Now Reinhardt, Jen, and Reiko were on board the shallow-bottom ship that Berche had come aboard. Claude, the butler, stays put because he also has luggage.

"It's just lunch, so I've got something for you."

That being said, Berche ordered her automatic doll (Automata), "Neon", aboard to prepare for lunch.

Bread cut into small pieces for easy eating, jams of various fruits. The fruit juice placed in the water bottle is cooled by the magic of ice.

Broiled dried meat kept warm so that it had not yet been cooked and time had passed.

And then came the salted pink tromon specialty from Lake Tosmo.

They were all top-notch flavors, and Jen and Reinhardt were satisfied.

Reiko is free while we eat together. So Neon leaned over by Reiko and bowed his head.

"Nice to meet you, Reiko. Do you remember me?

"... Mr. Neon, you were"

"Yes, it is. I'm glad you remembered me."

…………

As I used to say in the town of Riale, Neon wants to get along with Reiko. He talks about trying to catch Reiko's attention, but Reiko replied unquestionably.

Meals will be over in time. Neon started cleaning up. Reiko also decided to help him.

"Thank you, Raekosan"

A thank-you neon. Berche met Jen and Reinhardt,

"That was pretty sweet."

I said with a smile.

By that time, the opposite bank of Banne was nearer. Wide moats continue all the way inland.

Apparently this is also the type of city that prevents external enemies with moats as well as exterior walls.

Into the moat, in about twenty minutes to proceed, the boat carrying the line arrived at the port.

"Dear Reinhardt, your brother and father are gathered here today."

That's what Berche told Reinhardt as he pulled the boat over to the pier.

"Oh really? I haven't seen your father or your brother in a long time."

The ship is grounded on the pier. When Reinhardt landed as soon as possible, he offered Berche his hand.

When Berche smiled, he took his hand and landed beside Reinhardt.

Reiko, who was watching it, landed ahead of Jen, and whispered his hand, but Jen was different, and asked Reiko to pull him up, even though he put his neck up.

The harbor already awaited the carriage of the Count Randall family, and Jen and Reiko boarded a large carriage with Reinhardt and Berche.

The feet of the shallow-bottom ship prepared by Berche were fast, so large ships loaded with luggage and carriages have not yet arrived. They say the Randall family is responsible for delivering such luggage and Jen's carriage.

From the harbor, fifteen minutes of running on paved cobblestone paths, the Lords' Hall was visible.

Three stories, a disappointing stone house. Is it about one-third the size of Miyagi (cucumber) in Loizato?

The spires were built very differently on both sides, but the other parts were very similar.

"Oh, it's been a long time!

I saw Reinhardt rejoicing in my house for a long time, and Berche was smiling, too.

That night we celebrated Reinhardt's return home, and his service as a safe diplomat. Furthermore, the welcome party of Jen, a guest, was also exhilarated.

Jen had been looked after and pioneered by a samurai/butler since he arrived at Reinhardt's house, but he had endured because Reinhardt had told him 'Only Tonight'.

"Reinhardt, as a diplomat, thank you for your hard work"

It was his father, Wolfgang Randall, who said that and took the head of the toast. Grey's hair and eyes, hair color very similar to Reinhardt's, eye color, but disappointed body shape is not similar.

"I have heard of the work of your Black Knight (Schwartzlitter) in the Kingdom of Cellular, and of Lorelei in the Kingdom of Elias."

That's Reinhardt's brother, his eldest son, Leonhardt Randall. He looks just like his father.

"Lord Jin, we also hear about you. You don't like being tough, but just stay with me tonight."

It was his second son, Wilhardt Randall, who spoke that way to Jen. This one has blue eyes on platinum blonde and looks like a mother.

Silent, but it seems three men, Erhardt Randall, are reliably tapping Reinhardt's shoulder. This one has hair that resembles a mother's blonde, and her eyes are her father's conceded gray.

Reinhardt at the time had Berche samurai beside him, answering them one by one.

Because Jen was in the front of Reinhardt, they looked good.

"... family, huh? That's good."

Jen from the orphanage doesn't really know what a normal family is. Because the family for him was the dean, who was the mother and sometimes also played the role of father, and the younger children.

"Mr. Jin, may I call you that?

"Oh, yes."

Coming by Jen was tall, leaving, and the creeping beauty.... is Reinhardt's mother.

"It's Isolde Randall von Turfull. Nice to meet you."

"Yes, welcome, thank you"

The soft atmosphere that is wrapped around it, and proportions. Perhaps Reinhardt's ideal is this mother, Jen thought.

"My son was taken care of during the journey. Let me thank you once again."

"No… I, too, have been very helpful to him"

"Ugh, when it comes to that kid, Mr. Jin, that's what you talk about with a joyful face like you do. I've never had a friend like that before. Keep up the good work."

"Yes, of course it is. I'd rather have it here."

"Oh, what a pleasure"

And when Isolde, Reinhardt's mother, spoke to Jen two words and three words, she went back to Wolfgang, her husband.

After that, Leonhardt, Wilhardt and Elhardt came to say hello to Jen. And the last one to come was Wolfgang, Reinhardt's father.

"Lord Jin, I hear a lot from my son. There's one thing I can tell you. Please continue to greet my son."

"Yes, of course."

Jen favored Reinhardt's father in a way that could be seen as caring among the extravagant. No, you're right to tell the whole family.

On the other hand, the Elsa thing was Jen who plundered his head.
