Magi Craft Meister

The date is November 8th.

Five days after Oliver promised, a merchant in the town of Ismal.

Lao Zi accompanied Ann and visited Oliver's shop with a small wrap.

"This is a customer, thank you for coming back"

The store had Oliver, who welcomed the old boy.

"What about you?

Oliver, who saw Ann, asks.

"Like me, it's an automatic doll that serves my husband."

Old boy answering in a way that can be interpreted two ways.

Are you similarly 'serving your husband' or similarly 'Automatic Dolls (Automata)'? Although in fact both.

But Oliver's reaction is natural if he's a normal person. In other words, the old son assumed he was a human being.

"Yes! It's more of an automatic doll!?

Oliver is so astonished that he seems daunting beside him.

But maybe this is normal in this neighborhood town.

"... I've never seen it before... Is an automatic doll (automata) so human, no, a human being itself..."

Although automated dolls (automata) are not so common, Lao Zi did not say anything extra.

"My husband is a leading magic engineer."

Keep it to say. Because if you say that you are a Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz, you will be identified.

"Well, your... Speaking of which, you didn't ask for your name, if you don't mind telling me? As you may know, my name is Oliver."

"This is rude. I call you 'Rossi'. This girl is called 'Ann'."

"Dear Rossi, and Dear Ann, thank you very much for your time."

Oliver bows his head and finally becomes the haul of business talks.

"Well, did the bonito you promised me the other day arrive?

"Yeah, of course. Five this time, I could get it."

"Well, that's it. If that's the case, I brought it. This will help."

The old son pointed to the little wrap that Ann was letting him have.

"What is it, is it?

"It's a tool you'll need to use bonito for cooking."

Oliver ate the words.

"What do you mean? That's good news! Can I see it?

"Absolutely. That's why I brought it."

"Well, then go to the back!

Just like the other day, Oliver passed the old boy to the kitchen. Ann takes the wrap and goes with it.

On the table in the kitchen, Lao Zi put the things out of the wrap.

"What the hell is this?

It is a box of rectangles. Lao Zi took the lid in silence. There was a small mouth open, and a blade peeked from it.

It's a bonito sharpener.

"What? This is it!

"Yes, my husband made it so quickly that bonito is something that I sharpen with these tools. Do you still have the rest of the bonito you used the other day?

Based on Jen's knowledge, it was made by a craftsman (Smith) in Penglai.

"Yeah, yeah. Yes, I do."

Old boy to have bonito ready for you to try it out.

"This is how the blade is adjusted."

When Laoko lifted the part with the blade, he put it in front of him to see how the blade was coming out, and he showed it by tapping the table.

"When you want to get the blade out, slap the head of the blade. I like the hammer."

"I see, the blade won't hurt."

"So, when I want to pull the blade in, I tap the part here, the rise (dashima)"

"Really?!

It is the same as the Japanese style, but Oliver seems to be seeing it for the first time and is impressed.

"This time, the blade appearance has been adjusted, so let's just sharpen it. … Thus, it is normal to sharpen when pressing, but you may pull"

Then, let the clean cloth contain water and gently wipe the bonito surface.

"It scrapes well without being powdered if left slightly damp. It is strictly forbidden to get too wet"

That's all I explained, Lao Zi shredded the bonito and showed it.

Bonito that shreds with the creepy sound of shicha.

"Care should be taken not to shred hands when bonito is getting smaller"

That's what I said, I stopped my hand and opened the drawer attached to the side of the box.

"Hmm......! That's a beautiful sharpening thing!

There was an accumulation of sharpened sections so thin that they seemed clear.

"This is called a sharpening. If you divide this into small pieces, you can lower the unit price."

Oliver's complexion changes to that word. Did Lao Zi think that he was going to sell the bonito that he bought as a sharpener?

but hearing the words that follow, Oliver's face will be stained with joy.

"How much can you buy this bonito sharpener for?

"... Huh?

Oliver understood the meaning of the word. but I don't know what it's meant to be and I have to eat it.

"We are not merchants. Even if you can make something like this, you don't have a handout to sell. Then I don't think it's strange to think that through someone promising...

"Ha... sure"

Oliver, intuitively aware of what it meant, took Old Son's hand.

"Really, can you sell me this tool?

"Yeah, I'm not lying"

Oliver's expression solidified for a few seconds and he became silent about whether calculations were being made dizzily in his head. but still a merchant, laughs quickly.

"50,000 torres, so what do you say?"

We knew the other day that bonito stock would help in egg- and vegetable-based dishes. The effect has been confirmed by my tongue.

It allows customers to sell it in a way that makes it easier to buy. It was an offer I didn't even wish for as Oliver.

Nevertheless, there is also a ceiling on the amount that can be paid. Fifty thousand torres was close to as much as Oliver can give now.

It was close, which is to say that if the old son is dissatisfied, the amount that he has allowed him to afford to put it on in a little while. But his reckoning like that didn't make sense.

"Yeah, that's fine."

The old son swallowed the sum offered by Oliver.

"Oh, I appreciate that. Yes, I'll have the money now."

Lao Zi hung up to forgive Oliver, who was a little panicked.

"No, then I would like to buy two more bonitos from it."

Last time it was 400 torres per bottle. Therefore, Laoko said that he wanted to buy two bottles and receive 49,200 torres of the difference.

"Oh, wow, I get it"

Oliver, still a little wolfy, pulled into the back and immediately came out with a bag of gold coins. There is a man on the side who looks like an escort.

"Thank you for waiting. He's the guard I'm hiring. The amount will be strained, so I asked you to come with me just in case. Please don't be offended."

Lao Zi nods to Eagle Deep Fried.

"Yes, of course. It doesn't matter who doesn't come in from the outside."

"I'm afraid."

And Oliver counted four gold coins, and 92 silver coins, and offered them to Lao Zi. Once he received it, Lao Zi put it in a bag like a wipe and handed it to Ann.

Then he received two bonitoes, and let Ann have them, too.

"Well."

Where the deal was done, Oliver opened his mouth so as to re-compartmentalize it.

"Dear Rossi, I know it's thick, but can you listen to me?

As an old child, Oliver's offer was most welcome because this bonito sharpener is also to make cones.

"Yeah, what is it?

"Does anyone know a magic engineer (Magi Engineer)? I'm sure your husband said he was a magic engineer."

"Yes, sir."

So Oliver stood up, bowing deeply,

"Please! Please introduce someone, a free magic engineer (Magi Engineer)!
