Magicraft Meister Part 1

Time flies a little, May 10. Today is Reinhard's birthday.

A small birthday party was being held at Reinhardt's mansion in the village of Kurtz, known as Lankenhaos.

"Happy birthday, Reinhard!

"Thank you, Jin."

"Happy birthday, brother Rai.

"Thank you, Erza."

"Happy birthday, Reinhard."

"Thank you, Saki."

"Thank you, Saki.

Thank you, Saki.

Thank you, Saki.

The Jin family was present to celebrate Reinhard's birthday.

It was a pity that Marcia and Rodrigo could not attend because they were on a test voyage of a new ship commissioned by the Kingdom of Elias.

Although Reinhardt has a habit of celebrating other people's birthdays, he does not have to do so when it comes to his own birthday, but this time it was Jin who half-assedly organized the party.

The birthday gift from Jin was, of course, a pocket watch.

The design was the same as Belle's and the color was gold.

"I've been thinking about this since you showed me Belle's, but it's even more amazing that it's not a ...... magical tool."

Reinhardt knows all about watches, but he is amazed at the technology of the watch in person.

"Thank you, Jin!"

For the first time that day, Reinhardt says thank you and checks the gifts from the others.

"Erza is a ...... Oh!　<

The silver jewelry box was designed by Elsa. The music in the box was a nocturne played by a famous musician.

"Saki sent me ...... a magnificent crystal ornament."

The Eschenbachs had obtained it from a gemstone peddler with whom they had a close relationship.

It is over 50 centimeters tall.

"You don't see anything like it. Thank you, Saki."

From Toa and Stellina are figurines of Reinhard and Bertsche.

These figurines are 30 cm tall. Reinhardt is made of yellow crystal and Berche of red quartz.

Toa was in charge of the material and Stearina was in charge of the workmanship.

"This is again wonderful.

These figurines are proof of the of an aristocratic family.

Although Reinhardt himself has no great desire to own works of art, curiosities, or masterpieces, as an aristocrat he cannot afford to be indifferent to them.

Being underestimated in this aspect would only be a disadvantage for him as a lord.

Vivienne gave me a painting. She told me that she had painted it herself.

"Is this a frame from the ...... legend?"

"Yes."

Like a storyteller, it depicts a legendary hero riding a dragon.

This is a favorite motif of artists of the world.

"The princess is riding next to the hero.

"Yes, this is the scene where the princess was kidnapped by the dragon and rescued.

Moreover, the hero and the princess look somewhat like Reinhardt and Bertsche.

"Vee is a good artist, isn't he?"

Her old friend, Stearina, was also impressed.

"Well, I started drawing when I came here."

"What?

"I used to like to draw pictures, but when I was in the Kingdom of Cerroa, I was not allowed to do any such activities except as a storyteller. I started when I came to the Kingdom of Shoro.

The fact that she was able to produce such a good result shows just how talented she is as a painter.

"You are as good as the best painters. Once again, thank you."

Finally, Meane presented her with a birthday cake.

Perid had taught her how to make it.

"Oh, this is amazing!

"In Gin-sama's world, they put candles on these cakes the number of years old, light them, and blow them out.

"Oh."

Normally, this would have been done at the beginning of the party, but Jin didn't interfere because he was in another world.

There were five small candles and two large ones. It was Reinhard's 25th birthday.

The attendees applauded as Reinhard blew out the lit candles in one breath.

"But I was surprised that Vie had such talent," he said.

"I've only recently discovered that I also enjoy painting."

Stearina and Vivienne had not seen each other in a month, since their paths had recently crossed.

"It's not only a story," she said, "but also a way to document it through painting.

Yes, I think so too.

"It's true, it's easier to get an idea of a story when it's illustrated.

Jin joined the conversation.

"There is a genre of illustrated stories," he said.

"Picture stories, ...... are nice, aren't they?"

......I would like to see Vivian's drawings on subjects other than folklore."

Elsa also seems to have become a fan of Vivian's paintings.

"Kuhu, pigments, I think they're called. It would be fun to collect them.

Saki was interested in the alchemist's work in her own way.

"But you know, it's also fun to be a <>. I recently met Mr. Goose, and he's been telling me a lot of stories.

"Heh, heh."

When Jin heard this line, Saki's face seemed to twitch for a moment.

"It's interesting how the lore of different places can reveal the truth of the past, isn't it?

Vivian, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the conversation.

Jin was about to speak to Saki when

"Jin, I heard you are finally building a spaceship?"

Reinhardt asked as he approached.

"Yes, that's right. The prototype is finished and we have just started building the real thing.

I'd love to ride in one!

"Sure, when it's finished and we're sure it's safe, we'll take the whole family for a ride!"

I'm looking forward to it. I've been so busy with the office lately that I haven't been able to cook anything, which has been somewhat frustrating.

Talking with Reinhardt, Jin forgot that he was about to say something to Saki.

"Bertje is almost five months old, right?"

"Yes. "Yes, her belly has become a little more prominent lately.

Saying this, Reinhard glanced at Berthe who was sitting on a chair talking with Elsa. Meine was with her.

"I guess they'll be born in the late fall."

"Yes. Boy or girl, I hope it's a healthy one."

As Jin wished for the health of the mother and the healthy growth of the unborn child, he gave various advice, drawing on all of his knowledge of modern Japanese medicine.

(Though I know very little about what pregnant women should do. ......)

Basically, I understand that we should lead a healthy life.

I only know that drinking and smoking (although smoking is not a habit in this world) are not allowed, and that keeping your body cool is strictly forbidden. It's not surprising.

(And I don't know about excessive caffeine... ......)

I told her that hojicha is recommended because it has less caffeine.

I guess it's not too much to ask, since I have a lady-in-waiting to take care of the housework, and I have my automata Neon, Bella, and a golem to help me out.

"Well, it's Reinhardt, so I'm sure he'll be fine."

He has a loving wife, so he is not likely to say or do anything that would cause stress.

"What?　What do you mean you're fine?"

Reinhardt asked me after I accidentally said it out loud,

"Peace in Reinhardt's home.

Jin answered in an unusually safe manner.
