Magi Craft Meister

"Hmmm... headache..."

When Saki woke up, she stunned her face at the head that was about to crack.

"Master Saki, are you awake?"

"... Oh, Aal, can you give me some water..."

A glass of water was offered in front of Saki, who woke up with his head in his arms.

"Oh, thanks......"

Drinking that water all at once made me feel somewhat better, Saki. Hanging the glasses offered by Aal, I noticed that the hand that gave me the glass with water was not Aal's.

"... Oh, you know what?

"Hehe, surprised? This is my house. My pawn lord brought you drunk."

That's what I said and laughed at was a woman around thirty. The dull blonde hair is unconstructively bound behind her head for a pleasant look. My eyes were bright watery.

"Uh... and..."

Saki tried to remember last night with her head about to crack.

"You got drunk drinking two jocks of beer. I can't have beer here because it's so much stronger than normal."

Because fishermen prefer it, they have strong beers.

Normal beer is around five percent degrees, but there are more than fifteen degrees of beer here, he said. I drank two jocks of it, so Saki, who was not alcohol resistant, was intoxicated.

"There seems to be something wrong with a girl coming here alone and getting drunk..."

And the woman, when she saw Saki, who was hungover and had a blue face, said, Drink this, and offered her a small cup.

Saki, whose head is not working properly, honestly received it and drank this all at once too... this time distorting his face to bitterness.

"Hehe, it's bitter, but it'll work."

The hangover headache is said to be because the blood vessels dilate and inflame due to substances such as adenosine, acetaldehyde and acetic acid, which the alcohol has been able to break down, and as a countermeasure it should be constricted with caffeine and the like.

They say you should drink tea or coffee because it contains caffeine.

"It's a thick, brewed tea."

"... thank you"

My headache still didn't heal, but my head was starting to turn to the point where I realized I was being rude even as a saki.

"I say Saki. Thank you for your help, I'm sorry."

"Oh, be polite. I'm Rosie."

After naming each other, Rosie asked Saki how her stomach was. Saki laughed and left the room, saying that the bitter tea had worked earlier or that it had become a little empty.

"... Aal, what happened to me last night?

Saki, left alone, asks Aal.

"Yes, Master Saki..."

Aal honestly explained in the face that the intoxicated Saki was about to be taken away by a suspicious man, that Aal had repelled, that Augus, Rosie's husband, had come there and brought Saki this far, and so on.

"Right... Aal, thanks for your help."

"No, because that's what I do"

There, the door opened and Rosie came back with the wheat porridge.

"Yes, this. Eat lightly."

The wheat congee tasted tender. Saki was feeling dusty as she carried it to her mouth.

Saki officially decided to have her stay here because "Shrimp Catcher Rampu Pavilion" is also an inn.

Saki with a samurai automatic doll (Automata). Naturally I wonder if there's some kind of translation. So although both Rosie and her husband Augus cared, they did not pry deeply.

"... the third night you've been here..."

Saki had stayed in a series of nights in a landscape different from the North Bank of Lake Tosmo, which he was accustomed to seeing.

The lake shore is sand mixed with gravel, with large rocks protruding everywhere, which seems to be a good fishing ground.

"The gravel here is interesting..."

Little by little, my interest as an alchemist builds. When I asked Aal to dig for about a meter, I was surprised that the minerals that presented rainbow colors came out.

"What is this... Opal?

Opal is also referred to as a protein, a mineral with the addition of crystalline water nH2O to silicon dioxide SiO2.

"Well, if you can pick an opal, that means it's a fire-borne rock or a heat transforming rock on this side."

Saki recognized that the north bank of Lake Tosmo with her parents is sedimentary rock because fossils can be harvested.

"I mean, geology is different over there!

Unexpectedly realizing an interesting fact, Saki spent two days after that, examining the geology of the shores of Lake Tosmo, based in the town of Trom.

"Yeah, what's this?

As a result, we found an unusual mineral that we had never seen before.

It is both earthy and rocky and contains small grains like beans in it.

"Penglai Island...... I'm sure Jin will find out soon enough"

Saki shrugged as she rolled the minerals she found with her palms.

"... I don't know what to do"

In the end, Saki stayed inconclusive and stayed another night. Now we'll have stayed seven nights in a row.

Exactly, Rosie and Augus were getting worried about Saki, who was in danger.

They had no children, and because of that, they couldn't leave Saki alone.

"Hey Saki, I don't know what happened, but maybe it's time to go home?

"That's right. Your parents are worried."

That's when Saki revealed her mood for the first time.

"... my mother isn't here anymore, and my father should be getting along with my new opponent, so this is fine"

I said and laughed lonely.

Augus finally made up his mind when he heard it.

"Well, did the lady stubbornly run away from home?"

"Obsessed...? No, I'm not."

Augustus slaps Saki's head like that.

"You're an idiot. I was wondering if you could come and find me. Did you stay here forever? Well, that's all I got."

That's a little different, but the two of them seemed to think so.

"That's what I heard. You can't just stay and put it away anymore. It's late today, so I can stay for you, but you can come home tomorrow."

"Uh..."

"Yes, they do. When it's tomorrow, you can't stay with me if I get paid anymore, right?

……

The conversation progresses with a lot of clapping in disregard of Saki's intentions.

Apart from this "Shrimp Capture Rampu Pavilion" there is also an inn, but Saki laughs bitterly at the two things that can be described as imposing. Tears seeped into his eyes.

Saki, too, could not return, although she had jumped out of the house in silence, and in her heart was looking for a cut to go home.

"... yeah, there is, there is. Mr. Rosie, Mr. Augus."

"Okay, okay, you just have to figure it out. Well, I'll shake your arm tonight."

And Augus also relieved Saki, who nodded honestly, and slapped him in the arm with a laugh.

The dining room "Shrimp Catcher Rampu Pavilion" closes at 8 p.m.

Supper, arguably Saki's farewell party, began with that.

"Celebrate Saki's future"

A cup and a jock can be raised. The jock is Augus, the cup is Rosie and Saki.

Saki hasn't spoken a drop of alcohol since then.

"Thank you. Mr. Rosie, Mr. Augus. Thanks so much for your help."

Once he decided to go home, Saki felt refreshed and now he could say thank you from the bottom of his heart.

"Now I wonder why I was being mean. Thanks to you I woke up."

Easy things to do if you notice. It turns out that it was a childish emotion that Toa wanted to worry about. It's Saki.

Reinhardt, who had thought of it, chose Berche as his companion, and his father Toa also found a new opponent.

I feel sorry for myself for running away from home as I had guessed, trying to make someone understand how lonely I was.

Saki was getting back on her feet before she could reflect that she was crazy about herself like that.

"What would you say if I showed you the opals, mysterious minerals, and the gin that I found?

Now it was Saki who imagined that and looked forward to seeing her again.

"Thanks for your help......"

"Be well."

"Come back."

Saki boarded the ferry with a sense of purpose in such a short exchange.

The wind across Lake Tosmo in the morning is limp. Shoreline that gets a little farther, Rosie and Augus standing there and dropping me off.

Saki kept waving until they were blind.

Arriving at Sagina opposite the shore, Saki finished his lunch in a dining room near the harbor before walking down the lakeshore road to his parents' house. He wanted to check the geology on the north bank of Lake Tosmo again.

Saki wanted to bring home a new discovery as an excuse for not having a long time to share.

Saki returns to her parents, who confirmed that the north shore is still sedimentary rock.

But it was deserted against expectations.

"... are you going to Reinhardt's?

As soon as we contacted Penglai, Saki, who somehow didn't feel comfortable with it, moved to Reinhardt's "Lankenhaos" using the transfer gate (Warp Gate) set up at her parents' house and via Penglai.

"Your husbands are in the workshop"

A familiar samurai told me. At the same time, that Jen, Elsa and Father Toa are there.

Saki glanced at the workshop even as she hesitated a little. How feminine that first voice is.

"Guys, what are you doing?
