Magicraft Meister Part 1

Father, it's time to go.

Jin, excited by the information about the dried bonito flakes, starts to take a nap about an hour ago.

Reiko goes to wake him up, following the instruction to wake him up after an hour.

"Hmmm... ......."

Jin woke up rubbing his sleepy eyes. He let out one big sigh.

"Oh ...... I feel a little better."

He washed his face in the bathroom and looked much refreshed.

"...... is it lunchtime already? I think I'll invite Elsa and Hannah over for lunch."

Jin is looking forward to miso soup with dried bonito flakes.

"Father, about that ........."

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes, actually, Hannah brought a friend."

What?　A friend you met in Loisart?

Yes. Yes, her name is Mrs. Sheede.

Yes.　Shede?

Jin recognized the name.

"The one with the fluffy blond hair and blue eyes, the one around Hanna's age?"

"Yes. Yes. Your father knows her.

The first time I met her was at a mine in Yada Village, Egelea Kingdom, and the next time I met her was in Tellurus, a city in the Kingdom of Selroa. Reiko was there with him, so she knows him.

"I see. ......"

Jin wants to welcome Hannah's new friend since she brought her friend with her.

"I don't think it's ...... right to serve her rice and miso soup.

Jin decides to put off the fun and welcome Hannah's friends first.

"We'll do that in the evening. Let's hurry back to Loisart for now.

* * * *

When Hanna returns to Jin's house with Shide, she is greeted by Elsa.

"Welcome, Sheede!

Iris, Hanna's guard, had come back to the mansion earlier and announced the arrival of the guests.

"Oh, it's your sister from back then..."

"Erza, I want you to fix Sheede's injury."

"What?"

"You see, Miss Elsa, ......"

Behrle explains the situation. They had been so engrossed in gathering castanopsis nuts that they had bumped into each other and fallen on their butts.

"I was fine, but I hurt my knee, Siede..."

"Hmm, okay. Come to ......, come here.

"Yes, ma'am."

Elsa took Sheede to the bathroom.

"It might sting a little bit.

She rinsed the wound with clean water to remove any dirt.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"......<. <>."

Disinfect and cast a healing spell. The wound is closed and the palm is clean.

"Wow, thank you, sister!

Siede bowed. Elsa smiled,

"You are welcome".

She replied.

Returning to the parlor, Howlo, the butler who had accompanied her, thanked Elsa.

"Miss Elsa, thank you very much for fixing your daughter's wound.

"No, no, it was nothing.

At that time, Jin came back.

"I'm home. ...... Hey, Sheede."

"Oh, it's your brother!　I'm ...... glad to see you."

"Jin-brother, welcome back."

"Hello, Jin-brother, welcome back."

My name is Hauro. My name is Hauro and I am visiting you with my daughter.

After exchanging greetings, Jin invites them to lunch.

"Welcome to the meeting. Please have lunch with us."

Hauro is a little afraid to ask if he can have lunch, but Jin shows him to the cafeteria without any hesitation.

Perid 102 was not in a hurry to prepare a meal for the sudden arrival.

The menu consisted of white bread, vegetable soup, plain omelette, and fruit juice.

There was also a made of sweet potato ...... Itopo.

Like sweet potatoes, itopo, when heated slowly, saccharifies the starch and increases its sweetness. Ishiyaki sweet potato is a typical example of this cooking method.

"May I join you?"

Hauro, the butler, seemed to be embarrassed as he was shown to the same table.

"Yes, please. By the way, are you traveling to Leuthart?"

Seide's father, Viscount Terrence Odeo Secat, is the Assistant to the Lord of Djeel, a regional city in the Kingdom of Egelea. He is in no position to travel so easily.

"Yes. Your wife's sister is married here in the Kingdom of Shoro. She has just given birth to her second child.

The eldest son, Edem, has returned to Désir. Shede had traveled with his mother, Marilia, to the Shoro Kingdom.

"Congratulations!"

Jin congratulated, albeit socially. Meanwhile, Sidhe and Hannah were chatting happily and eating slowly.

"This is delicious."

Shede looked happy as she ate the baked sweet potato. Jin looked at her with a sideways glance and thought to himself, "That's good.

In Jin's mind, a girl is a baked sweet potato. When in the past did he feel this way?

"Mmm, it's delicious."

Erza also likes baked sweet potatoes. Hannah is also eating a baked sweet potato.

The women are devouring the baked sweet potatoes while ignoring the bread. Jin laughs and puts a baked sweet potato in his mouth too.

After dinner, Jin talks with Hauro and Hannah and Elsa talk with Siede over a cup of Tähé.

"I see, the Kingdom of Egelea was not affected much by the long rain, was it?

"That is what I heard. However, the eastern part of the Kingdom of Cerroa seems to have been badly affected.

Djeel is a regional city in the Kingdom of Egelea that is close to the Kingdom of Selroa, so he was a bit concerned about the developments in the other countries.

"I heard that the situation in the Kingdom of Klein is even worse than that."

"......"

I knew the outline of the situation from the old man's report, but it was different to hear about it in a more realistic way.

He began to think that it might be a bad idea to consider food aid.

"It took me half a month to get from Tellurus to Giron," he said.　

"Hmm."

Meanwhile, Shide is telling Hannah about his trip.

It seems that the trip coincided with the end of the war against the Unifilers and the kingdom of Cerroa was in turmoil, so it took them some time to cross the Naudalian river.

Erza was a good listener, and Hannah was the one who asked questions.

"What happened after that?"

"......It was just a short time after crossing the river. We went through Scavia, Tansten, Astan, etc. I couldn't remember all the towns. I couldn't remember all the towns.

"But it sounds like fun!

"Actually, it was a lot of work. Siede even got a fever once in the middle of a trip to ......."

There seemed to be no end to the conversation, but before they knew it, it was around two o'clock.

Hauro, the butler, bowed to Jin and stood up,

"My lady, I know you are in the middle of your fun, but I think it's time for you to leave ......."

"Oh, is it that time already?"

Shede looks disappointed.

"Sheede, are you leaving?"

Hannah also looks sad.

"Hannah, Sheede and the others have their own reasons. Why don't you come back and visit them again?

Jin says to comfort Hannah.

"......Yes, yes, that's right. Come back to visit us again, Sheldon!"

"Yes, Hannah, I'll be back."

Siede looked back and forth as if he was sorry to leave, and Hauro took him by the hand as he left.

Hannah stood at the gate to see him off until she could no longer see him.

By the way, the castanii she had picked up were to be soaked in water by Behle so that they could be eaten.
