Magicraft Meister Part 1

Since there was a bathing facility in the town of Seki, Jin and the others were able to relax, wash off the sweat of the trip, and sleep soundly.

The next day, they finally set out for Miyako.

Jin thinks that if he is going to reform, he should start with Miyako.

Jin-dono, I've sent word by pigeon, but please take this with you as well.

Mayor Crowe handed Jin a letter.

"Here is my letter of recommendation. Once you leave the town of Seki, I don't think you will be stopped again, but just in case, since you are in a rare .

"I understand. Thank you for your concern.

From the town of Seki to Miyako is a little over a hundred kilometers, about five hours at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

Thank you very much for your help in the short time I was with you.

"Take care."

The car carrying Jin and the others left the north gate of the town of Sechi.

"Oh, it really is a paved road.

<

Edgar, you can go up to 30 km/h."

So Jin ordered the speed to be increased.

When we get to Miyako, I hope we can share the rubber and get rubber tires.

At 30 kilometers per hour, the wooden tires still caused a slight vibration.

Still, the shock-absorbing material used for the seat (goulashvam) makes a big difference.

We arrive at the town of Echim in about 50 minutes. We stop for a short rest.

Here, too, cars are a rarity, so onlookers have gathered. The mayor of the town was among them and greeted Jin.

When he told Jin that his destination was Miyako, the mayor looked disappointed.

The people from the Shoro Kingdom who visited us last time were very polite, and I thought they were the kind of people I would like to associate with," he said happily.

He also said that he was glad to hear that.

The next stop was the town of Temae. Then came Nardo, Yashima, and so on, with a new town every 45 to 50 minutes.

Jin and his group took a 10 to 15 minute break at each town.

However, in Yashima, which coincided with lunch time, they stayed for about 40 minutes and ate , a local specialty.

This was information that even John Dinney was unaware of.

You can choose chopsticks or a spoon. Of course, Jin used chopsticks and the others used spoons.

"This is delicious.

"This is delicious, Onii-chan!

"Jin, I've never had this before, but it's good!

Not only Jin, but also Erza, Hannah, and Saki seemed to like it very much.

The sauce was seasoned to suit Jin's palate, and the use of onions and eggs was the same as what Jin knew.

Jin reflected on the fact that he had made fries and croquettes before, but had never made a bowl of rice.

The cutlet is made of pig meat. A pig is said to be a domesticated version of the desert boar, a wild animal. It is probably similar to a pig.

The pork cutlet was fried well, and Jin heard from the owner that this was also a dish passed down by a wise man (Mags), which made him wonder more and more about his origins.

"Oh, that was delicious!

Hannah, who seems to like the dish so much that she eats a whole adult portion, rubs her stomach,

"Okay, I'll cook it for you next time," Jin promises.

Jin promised to Hannah. Hannah nodded with a big smile on her face.

After lunch, they slowed down a little and drove slowly.

Still, we arrived at Miyako by 2:00 p.m.

"Oh, moatwari..." she said.

The town of Miyako is surrounded by a moat wall. There is a bridge across the moat, and at the bridge, there is a checkpoint because it is the capital.

"Stop!"

Jin stopped the car and showed the gate guard the certificate from the Shoro Kingdom and the letter from Crowe.

The effect was so great that the gate guard saluted and let Jin and the others through.

"<>, Jin-sama and his party, please come through."

"Thank you."

Jin and his group thanked us and left the car.

The bridge is about 7 meters wide, which is enough to pass through.

After crossing the bridge, they arrived at Miyako, the capital of the Land of Mitsuho.

"You must be Jin-sama's group.

As soon as we entered the town of Miyako, we were greeted by a welcoming group.

More than a dozen people were dressed in formal attire and hung a banner with the words on it. Jin Nido was a little embarrassed.

"We have been expecting you. My name is Emir Hiro Mutu. We are pleased to welcome you, Master Jin.

The polite greeting made Jin jump out of the car in a hurry.

"My name is Jin Nido. Pleased to meet you.

"It is an honor to meet you."

Jin shakes hands with Chief Hiro Mutu.

"You know who you are?"

"Of course I do. We were told about you by our benefactor, Mr. John Dinney.

"Oh, ......"

Jin recalled that he had fixed an educational automaton, <>, who was a behind-the-scenes player in this country.

The credit for that work belonged to John Dinney, who had been given the title of <>.

He had called Jin a mentor and had told him that compared to him, he was a child, or rather a baby.

The arrival of Jin was greeted by the chief, Hiro, and all 18 council members.

Some of them might have thought that Jin was very young, but they surrounded him and his group and welcomed him without showing any concern.

"There's no need to stand around talking here.

Hiro waved his hand and several rickshaws appeared.

"Please get on this one."

Jin had seen rickshaws in sightseeing spots such as Asakusa and Hida Takayama on TV, but this was the first time for him to see one in person.

However, John Dinny had told him about the rickshaws, so Jin consulted with Hannah and got into one of the rickshaws with her hand. Elsa and Saki also got into the other rickshaw.

Reiko and Aaru got on the side of the rickshaw with their respective masters. Hiro saw them and tilted his head.

"Aren't you two getting in?"

It was Reiko who answered.

"Yes, because we are automata.

Hearing this, Hiro and the other council members were astonished.

"What?

Reiko and Aaru looked just like human beings, or even like human beings themselves.

Certainly, I had been aware of the group through the pigeon messages. However, when he actually saw them with his own eyes, he could not believe it.

"I see, so it is true that Jin-sama is the world's greatest Magi Smith, <>!

Reiko silently smiled at these words.

After such a scene, Jin and the others headed for the guest house by rickshaw (Jin, Hannah, Elsa, and Saki), on foot (Reiko and Aaru), and in a car (Edgar), respectively.

Chief Hiro and the council members accompanied them in a rickshaw.

We arrived at the guest house in about five minutes.

"Oh, kawara (roof tiles)!"

The building is a guest house with a thatched roof similar to a kawara tile.

"It looks like a Japanese garden. ......"

The garden, just as it was when John Dinney arrived, welcomes Jin and the others.

After getting off the rickshaw, Jin and the others were ushered into a hall that could be described as an entrance hall. Edgar left his car in the parking lot on the grounds before joining them.

I don't think they will play any tricks on us, but just in case, I called of the new > and asked him to watch the car.

(Ah, should we have thought about security too? ......)

As Jin was thinking about that.

"Well, once again, Mr. Jin Nido, welcome to the meeting.

Hiro Mutu, on behalf of the lined-up council members, greeted them.

"Mr. John Dinney told me that Mr. Jin does not like a showy welcome, so I would like to add that this is the way we have chosen to welcome you.

(Is this not fancy enough? ......)

Jin recalled that on the way here by rickshaw, he had been waved, accosted, and bowed to by the residents.

"John Dinney is our savior and our teacher, Master Jin."

Jin was a little disappointed inside, thinking that he should be glad that this was the end of it.
