Magic Gems Gourmet

From the Big Tree incident in Ripley, a few days early.

He was slowly starting his activities, but Ain't had all the time to wait at the inn.

But today is rare, Ain, who was traveling around several establishments to inspect.

He is accompanied by Dill and several Kingsguard knights.

"-- So here we produce small parts"

"I see. Craftsmanship..."

"It's the left. For this reason, the parts made here are also used for the research equipment used in the ist."

Ain stares at the working landscape as he is explained by the guide.

Lupe on your eyes, small parts made by hand.

Ain't going to get in the way of the craftsmen, Ain't going to visit that quietly.

"Dill. Wow, this"

"Yep. What a clever judgment. Unlike Lord Shearling, you can show off your technical skills."

Tell Dill walking next door what it's like to see an artisan.

"My father also said that Magna is at a glance when it comes to parts processing, besides its aspect as a port"

"It was. But if you look at it, you're really right about Lloyd."

Numerous craftsmen saw parts being machined with precision, even from Ain.

"I wonder if the merchants are coming to buy it too."

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Wang is right, and so many merchants from all over the continent come to buy it"

A guide who immediately says the answer to Ain's question. Ein hears that too and is deeply convinced, after all.

"And that's right. Researchers at Ist are so substitute that they come all the way here to check on the parts"

"I see. But no wonder they say so."

I'm not familiar with Ain, but I can still understand the need for these parts.

Research would require more precise operation than normal...... that's what I'm thinking.

"Actually, I've been wanting a few researchers from Ist for a few days now."

"That's right... You must be brilliant enough to come all the way out here to make sure with your own eyes."

Yeah, yeah, nod, I agree with his words.

"Let's see. Anyway, some of them are particularly famous... you know, rumors."

When the man in the guide says so, he says, 'It's over there' and shows the direction.

Ain imitates it, too, and looks in the direction shown.

"Oh, that...? That..."

"When I heard about the plans, the researchers over there said they were going back to Ist this evening"

When he looked closely, he saw a face he remembered, and Ain rubbed his eyes and checked again.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe he's over there..."

"That's His Royal Highness the King, isn't it? Did you know? Over there is the chief professor of Ist Great Demonology... Dear Oz"

—— I knew it was Professor Oz...

Ain moved his legs aggressively and started walking toward Oz.

Surprised at the sudden reunion, but more than that, joy prevailed.

"Dear Ein? Will you be headed to Professor Oz's?

"Yeah. You're such a caregiver, I need to say hello"

In response to Dill's inquiry, Ain goes on to walk. Dill also agreed with the word and proceeded next to Ain.

Peaceful hours of the afternoon. Ain was coming back to the inn after his inspection.

If it was true, I had planned to inspect it a little more, but I made a separate appointment, so I hurried back to the inn.

"Well, I'll let you through."

"Yeah. Please"

One room I had rented for visitors.

One guest comes under Ain waiting there.

This time, Ain's guest.

For this reason Olivia is not present and is resting with Martha in her own room.

I beg your pardon.

A man in white with a deep bow of his head at the same time as he entered.

His appearance, which I haven't seen in a while, was no different from when he was an ist.

"His Royal Highness Prince Wang. Thank you so much for inviting me...... Huh!

Approaching with a full grin is the researcher Oz.

From Ein's point of view, it will be the first reunion in a while since I was taken care of by Ist.

"Welcome. Thank you for coming when you're busy."

"Yeah, yeah! I came to Magna on a sudden business, but I didn't know His Royal Highness was here... I'm really thrilled to see you this way!

Oz, who looks excited, exposes his joy at being reunited with Ain.

"Me, too. I never thought I'd be able to reunite with Professor Oz. Right, Dill?

"Yes. To Professor Oz, thank you very much for your help. That's what Ein always said."

In Ist, Oz taught me a lot.

Given that past, Ein and the others are ready to welcome it, even though it would be a sudden visit if it were Oz.

"That would make it easier for you to say that. By the way, your body is really getting bigger... and your face seems to be getting a lot richer."

When I saw Ain, Oz said so happily.

"My body has grown a lot, but it's really Ain"

"Ha... You really are an essential part of the conversation."

Dill, standing next to him, nodded loudly.

"Sit down first, Professor. It's been a long time since we've seen each other again, and let me talk to you slowly."

"Ooh... this is it. What an honor."

Then Oz sits on the front of Ain.

I put the bag I had in my hand next to me, sat down and then said 'thank you'.

"Professor Oz was here to check the parts, wasn't he?

I made sure I sat down and Ain asked.

"Yep. Well, it's not a big deal, but the material of the equipment used for research. I've been working on it with magna, and I come to check it regularly."

"Did Professor Oz bother?

"Ha ha... well said, this is one genre too. It's a nature that I can't feel safe without checking with my own eyes."

Oz, who speaks so, gives an embarrassing look.

But Ein realized that his personality seemed to be Oz too.

"No, I think that's why Professor Oz's research is always fruitful because he confirms it himself"

"No, I'd be happy to hear you say that. If there's such a coincidence, I'm glad I came to check it out myself."

Put a smile on your face and rejoice in Ain's words.

"Speaking of which, Professor Oz. It's light, but I also prepare meals. Would you like to join us?

I opened my mouth as if I remembered and suggested this to Oz.

"It's an honor. Be sure to keep it with your companion."

Then Oz also agrees, and Ain gives a joyful look and speaks to Dill.

"Dill. Can you ask the knight outside to carry the meal?

"I understand. Please wait a moment."

Then in a few minutes or so, meals are brought to this room.

Ain't had a long conversation with Oz while eating.

Ain't enjoyed dining with Oz for a while.

It was almost evening time and I asked Oz one thing that bothered me.

"Speaking of which, does Professor Oz have any hobbies or anything?

"Is it a hobby..."

This question has no great significance.

I just kind of wondered, but seeing Oz how he started thinking, Ein felt a little sorry.

"... Actually, there's only one."

"Is it okay to ask?

"Yeah, of course. My hobby is to look into old stories..."

Ain't even more interested to hear that.

"... I don't know much about old stories. What kind of things, for example?

"Hmm...... So, it's a corner, so can I talk to you for a second?

"Is that okay? Then I'd like to hear Professor Oz's recommendation."

Seeing Ain showing a nostalgic grin, Oz opens his mouth with care, too.

"Ha. Now, let's talk about one thing while we're at it."

Thus Oz began to tell Ain one old story.

"... it was a long time ago. In one place, a nation existed. There was a woman in that people called the chief, and that chief was the first of the people."

With sudden intriguing content, Ain listens to Oz.

"And the chief had three distinguished men. One is a research enthusiastic man and the other is a spear master. And finally, he's a smart guy who's good at figuring things out."

Dill also seemed concerned about this story and was quietly listening to the voice.

"The research enthusiastic man loved his father. That's what I already loved so much that I wanted to take it from my mother. And the famous spear man loved to act. I liked to end up as a character, just as I blended into the story."

"Finally, a man who was good at thinking about measures loved to read books. She used to read books with childhood friendly women."

All three characters are unique.

Because of the old story, Ein was surprised to see how characteristic it was.

"And the chief took these three men and prospered his people greatly."

"But after a while, we found a country nearby where the bad guys gather. Then the chief bravely heads out to the land of his wicked men, and struggles to defeat them."

The characters are impressive, but the story flow is common. But Oz spoke well.

Attract Ain and Dill's interest with a captivating narrative.

"And growth has been accomplished. He collaborated with another species who lived nearby, destroying the land of the wicked."

"But the length won't stop. Maybe there are these bad guys on another continent. With that in mind, the chief decided to go for another land. And with the chief, many of my people agreed to that.

"The three men will come with us. That's what the chief thought, but two men refused to leave the land."

For Ain and Dill, the shards are so old stories I've never even heard of them.

But still, the way you talk about Oz's discouragement keeps going! and hasten Ain and Dill's hearts.

"The two men who broke up with the chief are men who are enthusiastic about research and men who are good at figuring out measures"

"The researchenthusiastic man stayed from his father staying, too. But a man who's good at figuring things out has fallen in love."

"Love......?

Ein accidentally opens his mouth. But in my mind, I was reflecting that I had pinched my mouth.

"Yeah, it's love. He fell in love with the species he helped in the battle, the queen of that species."

What a sadness.

That won't happen.

"Naturally, that love never materialized. But he decided to keep an eye on the queen nearby."

"But there was another one who was sad. It's his childhood tame woman. The woman didn't leave him, knowing her love wouldn't come true."

"Then something like that. The chief crossed the ocean and the researchenthusiastic man continued his research. And the man who fell in love was prepared to give his life to the kingdom to support the queen, … and at the end of the day he saw the queen's death."

It wasn't that long ago, but Ain somehow had feelings that pushed him hard against his heart.

Oz, finished talking, puts his mouth on a glass of water.

"It was an amazing, interesting story. Somehow, it was sad to be sad..."

"It's not all a beautiful end to old stories... It also comes in a little foot color (...)."

Seeing Oz with a bitter laugh, Ain also agreed.

"But thank you for listening."

With that in his mouth, Oz looks at the clock placed in the room.

"-- oops...... sorry. Looks like a good time is just around the corner, and we'll have to make sure we get back home."

Oz, who looked at the clock, said this in a panic.

"Really...? I'm sorry to hear that, but we're open today."

Ein replies like this with an unfortunate mouthful when he hears it.

"Yep. But it's been a long time since I've seen His Royal Highness Prince Wang and I've had time like a treasure."

"It's this line, Professor Oz. Well, I'll see you soon."

Ain then signaled with a gaze toward Dill.

"Dill will send you downstairs. Please be careful on the road and welcome home."

"This is it. I'm sorry from what to what. … Thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Wang, for seeing us today"

Oz stood up and took the bag he had brought.

"Dear Ein. I'll send you Professor Oz."

"Yeah. Please."

Ein drops off Dill and Oz and sits back on the couch.

I didn't think I'd be able to reunite with Oz this way, so what about half the joy, half the surprise?

"But it was a great time to meet again unexpectedly"

As always, Oz is good at talking. He reiterated that he was a good speaker of interest.

That's how, looking back at the earlier hours, the door to the room is knocked.

"Dill? Are you back yet?

In reply to Knock, it wasn't Dill who came in, but Martha, his mother.

"Excuse me. I heard Professor Oz left the room, so I did."

"Mr. Martha. What's the matter with you?

"I just got word from Wang Du. Because I was concerned about Ein, I thought I would tell you immediately..."

"Hmm? About what?

Martha approaching the couch where Ain sits for ease of talking to Ain.

"It's about Lady Krone and Lady Chris. She said her health was on the way to recovery, so she contacted me on the flight the day after tomorrow that she was in Magna."

"Huh... really? Are you feeling better already?

"Yes, it was just for about a week, but as Barra diagnosed it, there was almost no more problem."

Upon hearing this report, Ein is strongly relieved.

Even though I was in Magna, I was anxious to see what was going on, so I also thanked Martha for contacting me.

"Both of you said you were sorry you couldn't manage your health, yes, you wanted Ein to tell you."

"Ha... I wish I didn't give a shit about that."

When he hears a message full of the two of us, Ein zeroes his grin.

"I'm sure it'll be busy"

Ein nodded deeply at Martha's words, smiling gently.

"I mean, I think it would be fornicating..."

For starters, yeah.

Maybe we should celebrate a little bit of pleasure.

Even so, I can only enjoy the meal.

"Hehe, right. --… Well. So it's time to go back to your room?

"I will. What's your mother doing?

"With Ain't here, he seemed to have plenty of free time."

How Olivia is doing is not hard for Ein to imagine.

"That shouldn't be. Then we have to get back soon."

"Your room is fine as it is. Then, Master Ain, let's come."

I'm sorry to leave the cleaning to you, but that's not now. I have taken care of you many times before, so I honestly appreciate it.

"Oh, okay. I let you spend your spare time alone, and now it's time with your mother."

And Ain went toward his chamber, light in footsteps.
