Magicraft Meister Part 1

"Who is it?"

Reiko opens the door. There stood an elderly man dressed in a butler's uniform.

"Excuse me, is this Magecraftsman Bina's house?

Yes, it is.

The man bowed,

I am Sevans, a servant of Count Kuzma's family. The head of the family would like to talk to you about the magical tool that Bina-san made for him.

"My master, does this mean that Count Kuzma is here to see you?"

Yes, he is waiting in the carriage.

"Please wait a moment."

Reiko then withdrew and discussed the matter with Jin. Jin could hear her conversation,

"I'll get it."

She then turned to Sevance on behalf of Reiko.

"Beena is away on business at the moment. If you would like, I, Hitoshi, would be happy to talk to her.

Sevans thought for a moment and then said, "Yes,

"Yes, then Mr. Jin will be your companion.

He opened the window of the carriage behind him and said something,

He opened the window of the carriage behind him and asked Jin, "May I come over to your house?

He asked Jin, "May I visit your house? Jin immediately agreed. Then he asked Reiko,

"Reiko, take out the april from the refrigerator and peel it for me."

Reiko instructed Reiko to get some après-consumables out of the refrigerator and peel them.

Sevans followed his master, Count Kuzma, out of the carriage and went inside.

"Welcome, Count Kuzma. My name is Jin, Bina's assistant.

Yes, I'm sorry to come to you out of the blue, but there are a lot of things going on here.

When I looked at the Count who said this, I saw a young man in his mid-twenties. He had brown hair and brown eyes. His face is normal, but he has an elegant air about him.

"I'm sorry to bother you in this dirty place, but please have a seat.

He used to be a member of society, so he knows how to be polite to his superiors.

"Mm."

Then Reiko came in with an après-ski.

She said, "There is nothing here, but if you would like to try it, please eat it.

An après-ski was offered to her. Sevans reached for it. I think he's trying to poison me.

"Excuse me."

He took a bite and a look of surprise came over his face.

"What ......?"

The Count saw that,

"What's the matter?　It's rare to see you make a face like that.

And the Count said,

I'm sorry, sir. This april was very cold.

"What?"

Count Kuzma heard that and took a piece himself.

"Oh!　This is delicious. It's very good when it's cold.

"Did you like it?"

Jin asked immediately,

"Yes, I like it. How do you keep it cold?　Surely you are not rich enough to buy ice?

Since this country is located in the south, there is no ice even in winter. So, for cold storage, ice made by ice magic is commonly used, but it is very expensive and unaffordable for the average person.

"Yes, we have developed a new refrigerator to preserve the ice.

"<>?

Yes. It is a magical tool using Magi Stone.

Count Kuzma's face lit up,

"That's what I mean. I heard that you have developed some rare magic tools and sell them to the common people at a low price.

Yes, you mean lighters.

"Yes, you mean lighters." "Yes. Actually, one of our servants bought one of them. That's why I was interested in the maker.

I am honored.

And you also have a water heater, don't you?

Yes, I do.

It seems that one of the people who placed the order today was a servant of the Countess.

"Interesting. In the first place, don't magecraftsmen make precious magical tools?"

"No, Bina,...... our idea is to make things that are useful for a wide range of people.

The Count looked at Jin with amusement,

"Ha-ha-ha!　That's so weird!"

And then,

"I like it. I was going to ask you to become our family's magecraftsman, but I decided not to. Keep up the good work and keep making better and better things.

Jin was a bit surprised. The Count in front of him put the interests of the people before his own.

"If you have any problems, you can come to me anytime. I will help you if I can."

To the Count who said that,

"Well then, I'll take your word for it."

When Jin said this, the Count leaned forward,

"Hmm?　What's the matter?　Are you in trouble?"

"Yes. In fact, Beena went to the Count's place at Count Galana's invitation in the evening, but she had not returned by this time. Her younger siblings are also very worried."

When Count Kuzma heard this, he said,

"I see. So that's what you wanted to talk about. Count Galana.

Count Kuzma folds his arms and thinks about what is going on. Eventually he uncrossed his arms,

"All right. I'll drop in on Count Galana before I go back to the house.

Jin was relieved to hear her say this.

"Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

He thanked her and sat down again,

He sat down again. Before you leave, could you show me the refrigerator?"

Jin brought one of the three refrigerators he had made. It weighs only about 20 kilograms, so even he, who is not very strong, can carry it.

"Oh. So this is it."

The Count looked at the exterior, opened the door, and peeked inside with interest,

"Insert the Magi Stone and chant the key word, and it will work.

"That's easy, isn't it? Is this for sale?

Yes. Yes, although it couldn't be sold at the stall.

I guess so. How about 10 gold coins from ......?

What?"

Jin was astonished. Ten gold coins are worth 100,000 dollars, or about one million yen.

Is that not enough?

No, no, that's fine.

Jin stammered in reply,

"Oh, I see. Sevans, give me the gold coins. And load this on the wagon."

"Yes."

A bag of gold coins is placed in front of Jin. And a refrigerator was carried out in its place. Count Kuzma stood up,

"Well, it was quite a productive night."

He said and held out his hand to Jin. When Jin took his hand, the Count said,

"Let's talk again."

With these words, he left the room.
