Magi Craft Meister

ng a bad leg was strong on Jin so he ended up unconsciously testing them.

“Reiko, could you carry them one by one, then?”

＊ ＊ ＊

“Welcome back, onii-chan!”

“I am back.”

Jin went back to Kaina village.
With no souvenirs.
After all, he had not stepped into the city once this whole time.

It was now about 6 in the evening.
The time difference between Toskoshia and Kaina village was about 2 hours and when Jin had came up from the underground workshop, Martha and the others had just finished having dinner.

“So, you’re saying you want to leave those two with us for a while, right?”

Jin was talking to Martha, Mine, Elsa and Hanna at Martha’s residence.

They left the two kids asleep on the 2nd floor of Jin’s house.

“Yes.
If possible, I would like Elsa and Mine to look after them.”

As he said that, Elsa slightly inclined her head, as if to say ‘why?’.

“Those two are saying they’re from the Shouro empire.”

Jin simply explained how he met the two.

“I see, the nobles they had been serving have fallen into ruin and now they’re jobless, eh.”

“Yes.
They wanted to return to their country but couldn’t cross the checkpoint.
And so they had clung to Reinhart.”

When Jin finished saying that, Elsa cut in,

“And? What did Rei-nii say?”

“‘It’s impossible if they don’t have a visa’.
And so, they were left to me.”

When Jin answered simply like that, Elsa looked a bit disappointed when she said,

“That was cold of Rei-nii.”

“Haha, that’s not true.
He also said ‘There is no need for visas once you cross the checkpoint’ too, you know.”

“?”

Even when he said that much, Elsa couldn’t understand.
Jin explained even further,

“In short, for the time being, I will look after them but after we enter Shouro empire, they can go to him.”

“…Ah, now I get it.
But, do you guys understand each other from just that, Rei-nii and you?”

“Yea, well, somewhat.”

“…I see.”

Elsa’s eyes were suspecting.
Jin remembered that look.
It is the look she gave him when she thought Jin had a thing for puppet love.
To think she would have this suspicion following Matheus…

“A-ah, that reminds me, Elsa, how much do you know of Matheus?”

Jin tried to change the topic.

“I know him well.
He played with me a lot when I was little.
He is the elder brother of Rei-nii’s fiance, Belche-san.”

“He likes geography and minerals and stuff, huh?”

Seems like even Elsa didn’t know of that.

“Eh? Is that… so?”

“Yeah.
He really got into the topic when I said that Toskoshia was probably the bottom of a sea because of the sandstone there.”

“The bottom of the sea? What, is that?”

“Jin, what do you mean? Land being the bottom of sea? I don’t understand it a bit.”

Not just Elsa, even Martha, who had been silently listening till now came asking.
Jin realized once again that everyone has a thirst for knowledge, after all.

“Well, you see, sandstone is formed when rivers or the like carry sand to the bottom of the sea and the pile up……”

Jin repeated the explanation he had provided to Matheus.

“…Ohh.”

“……I see.”

“…Is that how it works?”

“?”

Seems like everyone except Hannah understood.

“Jin, you really know many different things, don’t you? That is very admirable.”

Martha said.
Jin thought to himself,

(Having this kind of random discussions about facts is also pretty nice.)

At that moment,

“Father, those two have woken up.”

Said Reiko, who had been looking after them.
