"Well, I'll change my mind."
After the initially scheduled meeting, César, King of the Kingdom of Celluloa, gave a friendly grin.
"The wedding reception letter, I received it the other day. Let me say congratulations."
"Oh, thank you"
That was Jen panicking because she had him go in the center of Elsa.
"You think if you ask, they'll go around the countries? In our country, well, let's have a feast for the first time in a week..."
laughed mischievously. King César cut his words there,
"I thought... but there would be a date. I'll give you three days, as per the letter."
and concluded.
When Jen sighs in relief, César laughs as if he sees through its heart.
"Ha, celebrities are hard. It's also a duty to give up."
"Ha..."
"It is not strange that noble royalty from all countries should try to have Lord Jin daughter-in-law her."
"Ha, ha"
Somehow I can tell, but I didn't have the awareness that it was happening to me to Jen.
"Nobility, for example, has a more savvy side to it than merchants."
It was his kind of review, which he struggled with a lot during his time as Prince Wang.
"There's another thing," Well, "can you listen to me?
"What is it?
"The Empire of Shawulo has something called the Magic Doll Competition (Gonkenz), right?
"The Magic Puppet Competition (Gonkenz)", a competition that Jen was challenged by Elsa's father, who was going crazy at the technology fair last year.
"We're going to have a golem tournament in my country, too."
"That sounds interesting."
"Mm-hmm. So, I'd like to ask you to preside over the jury. Of course, with my fiancée."
"Are you the chief judge......"
King César, who perceived Jen's mood, can say a word.
"As Lord Jin, I'd like to join you, but then you'll be the winner of the bluff, so please don't."
"Ha..."
Jen had to snort too, just to understand that statement.
"So, when is it?
"July 28th, 29th."
"The day after tomorrow (tomorrow) …"
Jen thought about it for a moment and then decided to accept it.
"Okay. Let me do it."
"Oh, I appreciate that"
King César exchanged hands with Jen.
"If I may say greed, could you bring me one or two Golems of Lord Jin's, for exemplary use?
They say it's because they want me to do some exemplary acting or something.
"Yeah, I get it"
"Oh well! HELP! This one is here, and I have 20 million torres available for the gratuity, will that be enough?
It is approximately 200 million yen. That's a big country, Jen thought.
but.
"You can have half of that money, so could you please have the rest of it in platinum?
"Platinum? Again, you want something rare. I don't mind..."
Just in case, King César called and confirmed Lubra Podon, First Treasury Secretary.
"Right. If we had platinum stock, we'd have roughly fifty tons."
The market for platinum is 50-100 torres per gram.
"Then let's give up a ton"
If it were to be 50 torres a gram, it would be 50 million torres, which is worth 500 million yen. The fact that it was in kind, not money, had greatly increased.
This is also in King César's favor.
"Thank you"
By the way, 'platinum' is not what we call 'platinum' in this Ars world.
It is an alloy of iridium, osmium, rhodium, palladium and ruthenium, platinum ethnic elements.
Pure platinum is soft, but this alloy is very hard and impossible to process at room temperature first.
Also, since the melting point is high and cannot be dissolved by the heat of charcoal or firewood (calf), after all, we will rely on engineering magic, but the magicians (Magicraftsmen) were also unable to separate this alloy into each element, so the use was very limited.
When it came to applications in the Kingdom of Celluloa, they were often used for 'copper fractionation'.
As a common element of platinum, it is not rust resistant and heavy, so it is suitable as a material for copper distribution.
but that's not all you can consume.
Therefore, the warehouse of the Kingdom of Celluloa was filled with large quantities of 'platinum'.
This is a "platinum" with limited use, but Jen can use it separately and effectively for each element, but it is generally impossible, and there is no demand.
Therefore, it is beneficial to take this deal to Jen or to the Kingdom of Cellular.
Here's a suggestion from Jen.
"By the way, it's the use of this' platinum ', but why not make trophies, commemorative medals, etc. to give to the winners of the competition"
Hard to process means sturdy. Suitable for souvenirs, let's say.
"Oh, I see. A magician (Magicraftsman) can process it.... If so, Lord Jin, could you make one trophy and one medal each because you want to set up something called the" Jin Nido Award "?
"Huh?"
An unexpected request came in.
"Besides winning, I hope to create a variety of awards for excellence, one of which is the Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz Award or the Gin Nido Award."
"Ha, ha"
Because the name is somewhat illuminating, Jen wanted it to be the Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz Award.
King César understands that.
"I'll also give you platinum for that, so I want you to manage to make it by the day. How about a hundred kilograms, including a trophy and a medal and a thank you for that?"
"That's fine."
As for Jen, the trophy and medal design is more problematic than the hassle of making it.
I thought that would put in some designation,
"It's the Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz Award, so design it to Lord Jin's liking. I don't place any orders."
That's what they said.
"Yeah, if you want to make a change in color, I don't mind if you use a little gold or copper,"
"... ok"
Jen thought she would talk to Elsa when she left.
On that day, Jen received a ton of 'platinum' and returned to Penglai.
At that time, he saw Reiko carrying a 100-kilo chunk lightly with his right and left hands, respectively, and the warehouse's controller seemed to have a convulsive face.
"Hmmm......"
Jen was roaring as he thought about designing a trophy in the Penglai Island workshop.
"Brother Jin, what's wrong?
Elsa, peeking into the workshop, calls out. I was just going to talk to him, so Jen is happy to invite Elsa with all the boats over.
"Yes?"
And here comes Elsa. Jen explains the situation.
"... If you're a Gin Nido Award, you should look like Brother Gin..."
Since Jen looked so sinister, Elsa laughs and denies the foreword.
"As a joke, I think if it's the Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz Award, it should be something you won't see anywhere else. The material is platinum, so it's unmatched."
"I see..."
I was worried about all the art value, but Jen came up with an idea that I should show him one original design.
