Magi Craft Meister

Reinhardt decided to go check on his own stand.

Aside from the special tools that Jin was putting together, everything had already been assembled the day before.
After that it was just a matter of checking everything was alright and then open the doors of the Expo to the public.

Needless to say, Elsa’s, who had been regarded as Jin’s assistant, had her exhibit already prepared in advance as well.

The completion of the magic tool was left to Steward.
And Lily, one of the ‘SP’ was left in charge of taking care of the carriage.

The preparations went by and lunchtime was drawing near.

The Expo would start exactly at noon.
Jin went to the great dining hall along with Reiko in order to make sure he had eaten lunch properly before that.

Participants were allowed to have free lunch at that place between 10 AM and 3 PM.

Jin took a seat and called one of the waitresses.
He couldn’t see Reinhardt nor Saki nearby, so either they were still setting things up, or they had already eaten.

As he thought that…

“Hey, Jin! So here’s where you were, huh?”

Saki showed up at that exact moment.

“Hey Saki.
Is everything done on your end?”

“Yeah, I already did all I had to do for now.
All that’s left to do is wait for the results.”

Saki sat down at Jin’s table and placed her order as well.
Then another voice was heard.

“Ah, is that you, Jin?”

“Oh, long time no see!”

“It really has been a long time.
Are you well? You really helped me back then.”

It was Stearina, the Magi Craftsman from Celuroa Kingdom.
However, Saki didn’t know how she was, so she was a bit confused.

“Who is this, Jin?”

“Ah, this is Stearina Gamma.
She’s a Magi Craftsman from Celuroa Kingdom.”

After Jin introduced her, Stearina giggled and corrected him.

“Well, I’m not Gamma anymore.
It’s Beta.
Stearina Beta.”

The highest-ranked person in the crafting field in the Celuroa Kingdom was the Unifiers’ No.
2, Donald Carou Alpha.
However, since he went missing after Unifiers’ destruction, Stearina ended up going up in rank.

“You’ve become Beta! Congratulations!”

“Thank you.
But you know, I’m not that happy since it’s not like I’ve gained new abilities or anything like that, I was merely promoted.”

Stearina smiled bitterly.
Having been promoted simply due to there being a vacancy was no reason for joy to her.

“I’m Saki.
Saki Eschenbach.
I’m an alchemist.”

“Pleased to meet you, Saki.”
