Magicraft Meister Part 1

The next day, after breakfast, Jin and his team immediately set out for the city.

The city of Borgia, the capital, has a three-story structure.

The center of the city is, of course, the Royal Castle. The castle is the residence of King Elias, Blitzen Skala Elias XII, and his ministers live there. The government affairs are conducted here.

The first level surrounding the castle is the aristocratic district that stretches outside the solid walls. This is also surrounded by the city walls.

The second layer is the common people's district outside the walls of the aristocratic district. Wealthy merchants, skilled craftsmen, and stores for the masses are located here.

The third layer is the farmland outside the commoner's quarter. There are residences of farmers and those who could not live in the common people's area.

Now Jin, Reiko, Erza, and Reinhardt are riding on a two-horse uncovered wagon through the nobles' district outside the castle. The view is good but a little dusty.

"How are you doing, Jin?

Aside from the dustiness, Jin has been gazing around like everything he sees is a rarity. He's a geek by the looks of it.

Well, it's his first time in a noble town after being summoned to this world, so it's not surprising.

"Ah, yes, it's quite a sight to see, isn't it?

Isn't it?　Many of the buildings here date back to before the Great Magic War. Although the population decreased during the Great War, many old buildings remain in this country because it was not caught in the fire of war.

On earth, they are like the Gothic style. They are made of stone and are characterized by many pointed towers. It may look overdecorated.

However, the overall appearance of the building is old, so the seemingly excessive amount of ornamentation is not as pronounced as it could have been, and the overall appearance is well balanced.

When Jin commented on this, Reinhardt was impressed,

"Yes, Jin has a good point. I agree with you. It is said that the architecture after the World War II became utilitarian and tasteless. Compared to that, this architecture, which can be called stylistic beauty, can be seen at ......."

Reinhardt noticed Elsa's glaring eyes on him after he had rambled on to that point. Yesterday, today, Reinhardt keeps his mouth shut.

"Let's go to the tailor first.

Reinhardt says and orders his servant. The servant skillfully maneuvered the carriage to the tailor's shop around the corner from the main street.

"Come on, Jin, get out. "Come on, Jin, get out of the car.

"What?　I have no business in a tailor shop.

But Reinhardt said nothing of the sort, and took Jin into the tailor's shop.

"Well, Mr. Reinhardt, welcome to our shop.

Immediately the owner came out and greeted him.

"Yes, I'm here a day late. Is it ready?"

"Yes, it's ready. Yes, it's ready. Is this the gentleman who will be wearing it?

The master looked at Jin standing next to Reinhardt. Reinhard nodded yes.

Then please come this way.

The master was about to take Jin to the back.

"Oh, hey, Reinhard!"

"Just follow me."

Jin walks into the back of the room without understanding what he is being told.

He went to the back of the room and said, "Hey!

"Hey, ...... here."

After a while, Jin came out wearing a magnificent jacket.

Originally, Jin was dressed in black pants, a white shirt, and a beige vest, which was the attire of an average commoner.

Well, one might ask what is average, since the materials used for these clothes are all woven with threads of ground spiders, which are worth enough to buy a house.

Putting that aside, Konin was wearing a luxurious jacket on top of his average commoner's clothes.

"Father, it suits you well.

It was a dark gray with a slight purplish tinge, above the knees, and had a large collar. The buttons are silver. It had the letters embroidered on the chest.

A gift from me. It is a jacket worn by a standard magecraftsman. It will not be rude to appear in front of other nobles if you wear it.

It will come in handy on the journey ahead, he says.

"Even though it will soon be spring, it will be cold as we go up north."

Reinhardt concluded. Jin had no choice but to accept his words.

"Okay. Thank you, Reinhard. But how did you know the size?

After saying this, Jin thought that it went without saying. Reinhardt is also a first-rate magecraftsman. He could at least guess the size of the clothes from their appearance.

"So, now it's time to take a serious look around the city!

Reinhardt leads the group into the jewelry store two doors down.

The jewelry shop sells not only common jewelry but also jewelry made from magi crystals, which both Erza and Jin thought would be enjoyable.

"Heh."

Unlike the modern Earth, there were no showcases, but the shelves were lavishly decorated with gemstones, loose stones, and processed goods.

Jin, who is not good at designing, remembers the designs he likes and secretly asks Reiko to remember the designs.

"Oh, this stone has a nice color, just like the color of Elsa's eyes.

And so it goes. He noticed a light blue stone among the loose stones in a row. Erza, who was looking at another shelf a little further away, turns around.

The stone, about the size of a thumb, is light blue and shows a deep blue color from different angles. It is shaped into an oval so-called cabochon cut and looks like it could be used as a pendant head.

"Well, well, I like this one."

Reinhardt looked over Jin's shoulder and muttered to himself. He called the shopkeeper and told him that he would buy the stone.

"Well, well, well, my customer, you have a good eye. This aquamarine stone is imported from the Kingdom of Leonard.

With these words, the shopkeeper put on the gloves with the "Magi Formula" written on it and picked up the stone.

Jin understood in his heart. He knew that even if the stone was not in the showcase, the public could not touch it because it was protected by a ward.

Without a glove or something similar with the Magi Formula corresponding to the warding, the stone on the shelf could not be touched.

Well, unless you have enough magical power to overwhelm the wards on the shelf. In other words, Jin and Reiko can do it. But they won't do it.

The price was 120,000 Tall. Reinhardt paid it in cash,

"It's almost Erza's birthday."

With this remark, he put the wrapped package into his inside pocket with great care.

The next stop was a magic tool store.

Jin was worried that Erza might be reluctant to buy it, but she did not say anything, probably due to the effect of the aquamarine stone that Reinhardt had bought her, although she had said earlier that her birthday was coming soon.

"Hmmm, it's quite an elaborate piece of work, isn't it?"

Jin looked at the lighted magic tools. He suddenly remembered the magecraftsman girl, Beena, whom he had met in the Blue Land.

"There is some similarity in the use of the Magi Formula," he thought.

Thinking this, he looked at the creator's name and saw that it was written as .

I remember that it was the Magi Craftsman whom Bina had studied under, I thought to Reinhardt, who was standing nearby,

"Do you know this Magi Craftsman?

I asked Reinhardt,

"<>?　Ah, he is a magician (magecraftsman) who can make some good things, but he doesn't have anything outstanding about him.

He replied with a rather dry evaluation.

"But look at this. What do you think of this guy?

Jin recognized what Reinhardt showed him. It was a refrigerator.

"............"

As Jin pondered what to say, Reinhardt was the first to express his opinion.

"I think it's a pretty good idea. I think it's a great idea to use magic stones instead of magic crystals as the source of magic power.

"Well, you know..."

"What?　What?" "What?　Look, they probably make ice in this part to cool the stuff inside. And once the ice is made, it won't work until the ice is melted. That's pretty thoughtful. I'd like to buy one and take it home."

"Uh, yeah."

"Uh, yeah." "Really, what's wrong?　But why did they put the magi device on top?　It would be easier to make it bigger if it was placed on the bottom."

"Oh, cold air is heavy and sinks downwards. That's why the cooling section is on the top."

When Jin answered quickly, Reinhardt looked surprised,

"Jin, could this be you?

Jin couldn't help but answer, "Yes, that's right.
