Magi Craft Meister

The night in the country of Mitsuho, and in the city of Seki, was further calm, and the night dawned without a word.

The weather is cloudy.

The town of Seki is a little north of the northern regression line, so it's warm there, albeit in winter.

However, the problem is that the air is dry because it is inland.

"... we're good, but there seems to be a lot of people who get hit in the throat"

And, Elsa.

Jen, a body made of demonic atoms (Magyatom), and Elsa, a homunculus, are unrelated to such diseases.

"I hope you put a humidifier in the room and wear a mask"

"It could be difficult at the top."

Especially masks, which can be breathless or depressing if you're not used to wearing them, are often taken off right away.

"If there's a healing home, we'll stop by."

"Mmm."

After breakfast in the form of a buffet, take a drink and then go to town. Reiko and Hope are with us, of course.

"First, shall we go talk about asphalt"

"Mmm."

The time is 8: 30 AM. Apparently, the Chamber of Commerce in the matter (Kurumoto) has been in session since 8: 30.

Jen walked loosely, thinking that it was like a personal store.

"Here..."

"Percentage, large"

There was a sign up there called 'Ikeda Chamber of Commerce'.

It should be an outpost shop, but it seems to handle a lot of building materials and the grounds are huge.

If you look at it, there are a few like drum cans on the back.

In addition, there was a line of metal wave plates and paint can-like objects, and Jen narrowed her eyes.

Again, it is more like a store than a chamber of commerce outpost.

"Let's go in anyway"

The front of the wide mouth was a drawer.

"Welcome"

A magnificent man welcomed the Jens.

"Uh, could you take a look at this"

Firstly, Jen handed over the reference letter she received from Akali Yuuki, the grandmother of Chiyoyo Paper Shop yesterday.

"Oh, this is Mr. Acari's handwriting."

The man who received it assumed it was from Akali Yuuki just by looking at the letters. When I do, she seems to have a pretty wide face.

"Hmm...... eh! Are you Magicraft Jazz, the third generation magician?

The name of Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz seems to be a big one in Mitsuho. Even if that's the third generation.

"And anyway, go back! Your wife, your squire!

The magnificent man seemed to be the shopkeeper, inviting Jens into the business space behind the store.

This one is not a seating area, but a chair and table.

And I can clearly see this as a clerk, ordering a teenage girl to 'make tea'.

When the tea was served in about a minute, the shopkeeper who correctly lived there introduced himself again.

"I am entrusted with this Ikeda Chamber of Commerce Seki branch, my name is Yahat Ikeda. She's my daughter, Yorico."

If I thought I was a clerk, I would be your daughter.

"Thank you very much." Magicraft Jazz, a third-generation magician. I call myself Jin Nido. This is my wife, and I call her Elsa Nido. "

And Jen introduced Reiko and Hope.

Yahat Ikeda, when introduced to Reiko,

"Oh, that's the same name as" Automatic Dolls (Automata) "that the second generation was bringing!

And he showed how he also knew about Reiko.

Moreover,

"Is this Lord Hope? I believe the second generation's wife was accompanied by Lord Edgar in" Automata. "

And he even knew about Edgar. Sounds pretty much like Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz Mania.

Therefore, it was Jen who decided to remain silent because it was likely that something would be noisy if Reiko told him here that he was his courtesan.

After having a little chat like that, we go into business.

"Uh, I came here to buy some asphalt."

"Yes, it was also written in a letter from Lord Akali. How long have you been here?

"The purpose is the pavement of the airfield. Conversely, how much will you need?

That's right, Jen, I never had asphalt paving, so I had no idea how much I was going to need.

"Right...... Some easy ones are called 'asphalt emulsions', which can be easily paved by flushing from the top with crushed stone paving."

Usually, gravel and asphalt are mixed and heated to about 160 degrees Celsius before laying down and taking a method of poking and solidifying.

Because of this high temperature, construction in the summer is said to be reluctant.

"I see."

There was something there that Jen didn't even know about, so he was listening with interest.

"Asphalt pavement is because, in the end, crushed stone is stuck with asphalt. This is called a binder."

"I see."

Listening to the story, Jen thought the sidewalk at the 'Adriana Memorial (tentative name)' was fine with simple paving.

Humans just walk.

It is easy to construct and repair, and there are reasons for this.

"Now I'm going to try it with 'asphalt emulsion' for now"

"Oh, that would be nice. How long have you been here?

They have three kinds of drum cans: one can of dou (18 litres) and one half size (250 litres), plus a drum can containing 500 litres.

"So for now, give me about ten drum cans,"

"Oh so much!?... There will be seven drum cans, five half-drum cans, and twenty cans a dozen."

Together, the demand can be satisfied, but then Jen decided that it was bad for the other customers.

"Then let's say five drum cans and two half drum cans."

"Wow, I get it. Uh, uh, what do you do with transportation?

If you're in 100 drum cans, it's 'Eagle 1' 's turn, but if you're in this amount, 'Hurricane' is enough.

"If you can get them to the airfield, we'll load them ourselves."

"Okay.... When would you like to?

"If so, could you do it tomorrow morning at 9: 00?

Jen wanted to see Seki's town today.

"Yes, fine"

"... so should I go to the head office of this Chamber of Commerce instead of here when I want a ton?

"Right, I don't think that's going to take longer. Shall I tell you where?

"Please"

So Jen was told where the head office was located, and he was also asked to write a reference.

They say the main office is south of Seki, in a town called 'Kushima'. but the asphalt region is a secret, so Jen couldn't even tell me.

(Four hundred years ago, you didn't go to see...)

At that time, I was a little sorry to hear that Jen would have been able to tell me.

"Well, let's find a healing home"

"Mmm."

Leaving the Ikeda Chamber of Commerce, Jens looks for a healing home as she hangs out and walks through town.

I'm not in a hurry, but I can't find it, so Jen and Elsa talked to the locals about asking.

But only then, not with all the tourists.

Jen, who boiled the business,

"Well, I'm a little thirsty, so let's go into that store and ask"

And he said unto Elsa, Behold, he went to the coffee shop.
