Magi Craft Meister

21-16 New Year's Eve appointments

Then for two days, Jen spent some time in Potlock.

Enjoy a sea bath or go say hello to the stranger of "Sea Ringing Pavilion" for the first time in a long time, thinking it's bad for Reinhardt, who looks busy as a positive ambassador.

Being a deputy ambassador, Elsa, who is not as busy as Reinhardt, was also able to be with Jen for about half of the time and was in a good mood.

Marcia also returns to the store of what she cannot yet be forced to do. At that time, he took Rodrigo and introduced him to 'It's my father'.

And when I said, 'We're going to do the workshop together,' Jeremy and Buccals were surprised.

Still, Jen told me that he was the designer of the double-torso ship beforehand, so he seemed to receive a good percentage.

From now on, my father and daughter will be running the workshop.

"Sir Jin Nido, can you give us some time today?

On the morning of December 29th, after breakfast, the Marquis of Florenciano spoke to Jen.

"Yes, I'm fine"

Jen replied.

"Sir Reinhardt Randall and Elsa Randall Lady, too."

"Yeah, I get it"

None of the three of them had any particular urgent business, so they decided to go straight to the Marquis' office in the reception hall with the Marquis.

This is the room where the Marquis of Florenciano, the lord, performs his duties when foreign dignitaries are coming, such as ambassadors, and where abbreviated ceremonies and ceremonies can also be performed.

"Now, as soon as possible, I'll tell you what to do"

The Marquis asked Jens to see the documents in his hand.

"The Kingdom of Klein has asked me to support my country with a topo, including its recipe."

What Jen and Elsa had previously advised King Klein when he went to treat his illness seems to have worked.

This information will be a late realization that Jen has also received Sir Emeritus from the Kingdom of Klein. Is Reinhardt and Elsa present because they are friends of that Jen?

"But given the distance between the kingdom of Elias and the kingdom of Klein, plus the state of the streets..."

Reinhardt shrugged with a difficult face.

"Yeah, really"

Between the kingdoms of Elias and Klein, two countries are sandwiched, the Kingdom of Egerea and the Kingdom of Selloa, and worse still, there are no streets between the kingdoms of Egerea and Klein.

"That's where the idea was to use the ship."

"Huh?"

Even if carried by boat, there is no sea in the Kingdom of Klein. Even landing in the former kingdom of Leonard, which has the shortest distance, would make hauling extremely difficult, Jen thought. Reinhardt and Elsa seem to have the same idea and look difficult.

But the Marquis' words were scales off the eyes of those three.

"You use the river."

"... ah!

River. That is, using the Naudaria River, the great river that flows through the border between the Kingdom of Celluloa and the Kingdom of Egerea, northwards.

The river Naudaria, south of the capital of the Kingdom of Celluloa, Esaia, breaks up into the rivers Asur and Torres. Alban, the capital of the Kingdom of Klein, is at the end of his eyes and nose if he goes further back to its Torres River and to the front of Lake Cedroria.

There should be no waterfalls or shallow waters along the way, so it seems easier to operate the ship.

The problem would be a propeller that would just go against the river flow, Jen vaguely imagined.

We need to calculate and sail a long distance of 600 kilometers.

As for food and water, the coastal towns can be counted on, so the minimum is fine.

However, since it is a river, not an ocean, it may be more advantageous for a shallow-bottom ship.

The total length is not more than ten meters. Sail with dozens of ships......

Jen, who had thought that far, returned to me in the voice of the Marquis.

"… in my state of Zaus, we intend to attach importance to this transaction, also in view of the future. I would like to advise all three of you on a ship that could be useful in this transaction."

That said the Marquis bowed his head.

"We speak to the Empire of Shouro yesterday during our regular contact. Dear Reinhardt and Elsa, we are very grateful for your cooperation. And Master Jin, please..."

"Yeah, that's fine."

I didn't let the Marquis tell everyone, and Jen promised comfortably.

"Thank you. I think we can pay enough for the honorarium."

The Marquis of Florenciano, properly, drew a distinction between business and public affairs.

The whole story is over, we drink kuhe and we relax together.

It was the Marquis who opened his mouth first.

"By the way, ladies and gentlemen, what are you going to do about the New Year?

Today, December 29th, in the practice of small groups of countries, the next 30 days and the first of January of the new year will also be closed for official duties. Since the second day will be face-to-face, etc., the actual official duties will start on the third day.

"... I will return to Kaina Village."

Jen's answer had been decided.

"Really? What about you two?

"... me, is..."

Elsa looks at Jen slightly as she dyes her cheeks. Jen, who noticed that gaze, replied instead.

"Elsa is with me."

To that answer, although the Marquis was not least surprised, he never put it on his face. And I still realize what Elsa's left hand pharmacopoeia ring means.

"Well, that's what you mean. Nice."

"I'm going to take Reinhardt with me."

Jen also replies on behalf of Reinhardt's share.

"Of course, I'll be back in the morning of the third."

And I don't forget to add.

"Really? I'm guessing Jin's airship can do it."

It is a convincing marquis.

As a matter of fact, as for Jen, Reinhardt is either going to sneak her back to Berche at the transfer gate (Warp Gate) or he's going to call her in.

I guessed it. Reinhardt didn't say anything.

"Okay. So you're leaving this afternoon, right?

Marquis that distracts me. In fact, you can use the transfer gate (warp gate) provided for the airship, so there's not much haste, but it's also bad to ignore the notice.

"Yeah, if you don't mind."

"Yes, of course."

He is a grinning marquis.

The crew of "Bernstein" will be celebrating New Year's Eve right here in Potlock.

After finishing his conversation with the Marquis of Florenciano, Jen, Reiko, Elsa, Edgar and Reinhardt headed to Marcia's shop.

"Oh, Reinhardt! Nice of you to come!... is this not a good word for it?

Now Reinhardt laughed at Marcia for mentioning the

"Haha, I don't care. I'm glad you treated me as a friend."

"Oh, yeah? Thanks."

"Oh? You wanted Mr. Reinhardt, too."

Rodrigo also came out of the back of the store.

"Hi, Mr. Rodrigo. Good for you."

"Yeah, thanks for everything."

No, I didn't do anything wrong.

A soothing conversation. Marcia, and when she saw the grin on Rodrigo's face, Jen felt good.

"Mr. Rodrigo is leaving the ship, isn't he?

"Yes, I'm sorry, but my house... is here"

Rodrigo answered Reinhardt's inquiry with a little awe. But Marcia behind him is such a happy face.

"I've already given permission to the captain. Jin, Elsa, Reinhardt, thank you so much for all your help."

Rodrigo bowing his head deeply. Jen stopped him like that.

"That's okay. Marcia is my friend who participated in the golem boat competition with me. It's only natural to help a friend's father."

"Thank you, Jin. Elsa, Reinhardt. I'd like to thank you."

Marcia, who had been silent until now, bowed his head here toward the three of us.

At the end of the year, in the middle of the winter, the wind blowing into the potlock contained some kindness.
