Magi Craft Meister

The next day, Jen, with Elsa, headed to her parents' house in Exhi.

Riding Jen's golem carriage, Jen and Elsa have a conversation.

"It's probably the second time I've been to Elsa's home"

Last time, it was at the time of the arsenic poison incident to the Marquis Theodelic.

"Yeah, I wanted Brother Jin to come when there was no mess"

"Totally. The world is restless."

"Every trouble gathers around Brother Jin. That's because you're someone who can fix it. There's no one who can't solve the problem in the first place."

What Elsa said may be true in a way. Because there will certainly be different problems coming because they are expected to have the ability to solve them.

"But I just wish I could spend some time making whatever I want. It's that simple, but it's hard to do."

"Maybe the easier it is, the harder it is."

"Come on, I wonder..."

Today Jen and Elsa have lighter mouths than usual.

Is it because I am nervous about what awaits me ahead?

While we were talking about that, the carriage arrived at Elsa's home.

Now living here are Georg, the fruitful father of Elsa, who is bedridden, and his stepmother, Mallaine. And a few servants.

Because of that circumstance, one Rubel, an ancient servant, welcomed Elsa. It is an old house slaughter.

Gray hair divided into seventy-three parts, short nose beard. That sounds like an honest vibe. I mainly take care of Marlene now.

"Welcome home, lady.... No, my lord, should I call you?

Elsa smiles and shakes her head.

"... I want you to do as you've always done. More customers than that."

"Yes, I did. Dear Gin Nido, right? Welcome aboard."

At the last visit, Jen's face and name were remembered.

"Welcome to Lady Leiko, come here, please"

He also seems to know Reiko is an honorary squire. Unfortunately, Edgar was only seen as a mere automatic doll (Automata) and could not speak up.

Jen and Reiko are put through to the reception room.

"Well, then, Brother Jin, I'm coming to your mother"

Elsa followed Edgar to Mallaine.

Meanwhile, Jen tried the tea served. Fried tea, about to be drunk. Seems like Jen is right in saying he's a cat tongue.

"Delicious."

"How about a replacement?

"Oh, I'll have it"

Because of the nervousness, Jen, who was thirsty, substituted three cups of tea.

When I finished my third drink, Elsa and her mother, Mallaine, came together. Elsa has no heart or a red face.

Jen stood up and greeted him.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Jin Nido. I always take care of my daughter."

Marlaine stared at Jen like that, but she breaks her face quickly.

"This is polite. Nice to meet you, my name is Marlene, Elsa's mother. Thank you for taking such good care of my daughter… yes, that's what I can't say enough."

It is Mallaine, who bows beautifully towards Jen.

"I don't know how to do this country. Please forgive me if I have any disrespect. I asked you today…"

And Jen, who had said so much, lifted up his hand, and Mallaine blocked him.

"Please wait. With all due respect, let me talk to you first."

"Ha, ha"

"Please hang up first"

Elsa and Mallaine opposite Jen, the three of them lowered their hips with the schematic.

And Mallaine slowly opens her mouth.

"As a matter of fact, yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor saw you"

"Eh."

"Oh, Mother, I've never heard that before"

I also saw Elsa just heard about it, feeling a little wolfish. Mallaine continues the conversation regardless.

"Although we had a short stay of about fifteen minutes. … please tell us more about what Elsa has contributed to the country. And I also asked what kind of person Jin was."

I'm just wondering how the Empress told you about Jen, but I can't even ask you.

Marlene then rose and bowed to Jen.

"... Dear Jin, Regards, Regards, About My Daughter"

"Huh..."

"Oh, Mother?

Neither Jen nor Elsa could hide confusion in Mallaine's attitude and words.

Marlaine, who sat back again, continued the conversation in a quiet tone.

"I very much appreciate your concern about my daughter. But I don't think that should be your shackle."

……

Jen could not read the sincerity hidden in Marlene's words and could not utter the words.

"The form of happiness is for each person. I wish my daughter was happy. Whatever form it takes."

……

Jen has thought about it. But I still realize that there is one thing to say.

"Make Elsa happy."

To the words, Mallaine smiled and Elsa turned bright red.

"Thank you. It's enough to hear that word. But you won't be in a hurry. His Majesty also said yesterday. Lady Jin wants peace."

"It is, indeed"

"When the world is at peace...... please look at my daughter more and do it. But don't make me wait too long, will you?

I know the last word is half a joke, but my mother's feelings about my daughter have also been conveyed to Jen.

In short, I'm not telling you to have a ceremony right now, because Jen still wants to do it, and I guess there's something I have to do. But don't forget to worry about it, you'll say so.

For Park Min-Jen's sake, let's just say he's the one who guessed.

"... thank you...................................................................... Mother-in-law"

Jen said the word with a final thought. It was a tease in my mouth.

"Yes, keep it up, my son-in-law"

Jen is returned to his son-in-law, and turns bright red to his ear. The same was true of Elsa sitting next to Mallaine.

And Reiko... just for a little while, after looking lonely,

"Congratulations on your engagement. Father, Mr. Elsa."

So he bowed his head.

"Rae, Reiko?

"Laeko?

Jen and Elsa ate the herb.

"Mr. Elsa, you are the one your father chose. Please continue to support your father."

Reiko lay down her face after saying so with a face that seemed just a little lonely.

"Mr. Leiko is a lovely squire."

When Marlaine rose again, she walked to Reiko and took that hand.

"Honorary Knight, Lady Leiko Nido, please, don't worry about your daughter, it's just a tenth of a thousand of Jin's, so please do it with all your heart"

"It's something I don't even need to be told. My dear father, like your father, I will protect you even if I take your place."

"Thank you"

And Mallaine returned to her seat. And urged Elsa to sit next to Jen.

"Lord Jin, I have nothing to worry about. I accept your sincerity."

Marlaine with a soft smile.

"My husband is not in a satisfactory state to talk to, and my current Randall family owner is Elsa. So as far as engagement rituals are concerned, I think that's fine if you two are convinced."

That's what Mallaine took her seat. And when he left the reception room, he looked back and made a gentle conversation, silently, and left.

Left behind were Jen, Elsa, Reiko and Edgar.

For a while, silent times flowed, but Jen was the first to open his mouth.

"... Elsa, keep it up"

"Mm, to Jin... Jin,"

Reiko, who was looking at the two, gave Edgar a signal and left the room softly, closing the door without making a sound.

It was winter outside the window, but the room was surrounded by warm air.
