Magicraft Meister Part 2

"It's over."

Jin and Reiko reported to Milowina as they emerged from the hole.

"......Thank you, Jin."

As the last one in the kingdom of Leonard, Milowina thanked Jin.

"Shall we go to ......?"

"Yes."

The underground < was in such shambles that even Jin could not regenerate it.

<

The ground was flooded with light.

"Oh, it's so bright. Thank goodness for light.

Milowina said in a sombre voice.

Around them still lay the corpses of the Gigaantes and other creatures that had been killed by the Rand team.

And from the blue sky, , which had temporarily evacuated, slowly descended.

Mirówna, who had been staring at the scene without looking at it, suddenly opened her mouth.

"Jin, I just remembered that there must have been ruins in the old capital. I remember reading about it in the records."

"You mean the old capital ......?

Yes, the new capital is Diaa, but the old capital was ...... uh, ...... uh, let's see, <>, something like that.

The old capital Karnagh. Hearing the name of the place, the old man realized that he had found the same place name in the information he had gathered in the past.

I would also like to add that there was some confusion as to which was the original capital of the city, since it was a defunct city from the current point of view.

"Okay. Thanks for the information."

Jin looked at Milowina,

"Shall we go there?

Milowina nodded. Milowina nodded.

"Yes, I'm curious.

"Yes, I am curious. But from the looks of this place, we don't know what's in those ruins, so let's go back to Horai Island and get ready before we go there.

"That's a good idea, Jin-brother. I think Milowina-san is tired too.

Erza agreed to go home once, so they all boarded the and returned to Horai Island.

* * * * * *

"This place is nice, isn't it?"

Milowina, who came out of the hot spring, sat on the porch and muttered with a cheerful face.

"...... Kaina village was also a nice village, wasn't it?"

"Isn't it?　It's a nice village.

Then Milowina looked a little further away and muttered.

"Hey, Jin-kun, this is not definite, and it's just my imagination. ......"

"Yes?"

"......The people of Kaina village have the blood of King Leonard's people in their veins."

"What?"

Milowina laughed at Jin's astonishment,

"So, it's my imagination, my imagination.

Then she continues.

"When the plague broke out, most people outside of UNY fled to the south, but there must have been people who fled to the west. Over the mountains, you know."

They might have thought that the mountains might have prevented the plague, Milowina says.

"And they may have settled there, or they may have mingled with the people who lived there, I don't know."

Knowing the generosity of the people of the village of Kaina, Jin somehow thought that he might have mingled with those who lived there.

That village had accepted Jin, who was literally a gentile.

However, hearing this, I felt as if I understood why the villages of Kaina and Toka seemed somehow different from each other.

The village of Kaina was descended from the people of the former Leonard's Kingdom.

For a moment, I had a fantasy of crowning Milowina as the queen and leading the people of Kaina to rebuild the Leonard Kingdom.

But I quickly shook off such thoughts.

Mirówna had made it clear that she would not be queen, and the people of Kaina would not want to move there.

And Jin loved the village of Kaina, the land and all its inhabitants.

Therefore, she kept the story of Milowina in her heart as her imagination.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

We decided to have dinner at Jin's house.

Porridge for Milowina and white rice for Jin and Elsa.

And miso soup with clams, dried plums, deep-fried tofu, and simmered sweet potatoes.

"Well, Elsa, you are a good cook. It's delicious."

Milowina ate the whole meal, albeit in small portions, with a smile on her face.

"Thank you very much."

After the meal, we had hojicha tea.

"Ah, it smells so good. This is another world.

Jin was happy that Milowina was happy.

"By the way, Jin..."

Then Erza seemed to have an idea.

"What is it, Erza?

"Decomposition is the growth of bacteria, is that right?"

"Yes, I think so.

Erza thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

"If ...... is the case, then won't things inside the sterilization barrier rot?"

"Hmm?　I guess it would be ......."

Then Erza smiled.

"Then, if we limit the range of this sterilization barrier to the inside of the box, ......"

"Oh, and the stuff inside won't spoil!"

Fermented foods and wine may taste different, but it is definitely effective for perishable foods.

The only thing that remains is the chemical change, which can be prevented by vacuuming or keeping the food at low temperatures.

"Licia's juice, I think I can carry this."

"Yes!"

The idea of a sterilization barrier came in handy in a strange way.

"We should also add a function to the storage facility in Horai Island.

The old man immediately responded.

This will drastically increase the shelf life of vegetables, fruits, grains, etc.

If we combine it with the ether stocker, it will be even more effective.

"Elsa, I'm impressed."

"......"

Erza was happy to hear Jin's praise.

"Hmm, you are a good couple, aren't you?

"Yes."

Jin and Erza blushed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you're not a married couple yet.

The moon in the sky was silently looking down on Milowina who was rolling with laughter, Jin who was embarrassed, and Erza who was blushing.
