Magicraft Meister Part 3

Elsa decided to ask a few more questions about her brother Moritz's work.

"...... Well, what is your brother Moritz working for now?"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. He is the director general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The next in rank after the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, and the Undersecretary. This time of year, they're busy checking the status of tax payments.

Unlike the Ministry of Finance, which handles the tax itself, the director-general has a lot of analytical work to do, such as looking at the status of tax payments to determine crop yields and identify problems in the region.

The fact that he was able to get this position in his mid-thirties was evidence that he was recognized as a very capable person.

And there,

"Mr. Fritz and Miss Gloria are here to see you.

The butler came to inform him.

"Oh, my brother Fritz..."

"We don't have a pigeon service to Avalon, but I asked him if he could pass on the message to Fritz during the regular morning calls at the palace.　I asked him."

<

"Well, I guess you told Fritz this time," he said.

Then the door was opened with a bang and two figures entered.

"Father, mother. I'm home."

Fritz salutes and reports his return,

"Hello, it's been a while."

Gloria looked a little nervous.

"Well, welcome back. Gloria, welcome.

"Thank you."

Next, Elsa stood up and greeted the guests.

"Brother Fritz, it's been a while. Gloria, my sister-in-law, how are you?

Yes, I'm home. ...... Oh, Yu and Mio are here too.

Hi...

Hello.

The twins greeted each other cheerfully.

"I'm glad to see you and the twins are doing well, Elsa.

Gloria also seemed to relax when she saw the twins.

Elsa was impressed by Fritz's quick action.

"It was just in time to get a summer vacation," she said. When I heard the news, I flew down with Gloria.

He had literally < on a regularly scheduled airship flight to the Shoro Empire.

Although not as large as Jin's <>, <> had also begun building airships.

Therefore, the <> also has airships, and they are useful for activities beyond its borders.

And a that travels from <> to the Kingdom of Cerroa, the Shoro Kingdom, the Kingdom of Franz, the Kingdom of Klein, the Kingdom of Egelea, the Kingdom of Elias, and back to <> for 3 days has started to operate on a trial basis.

This time, Fritz and Gloria took this flight to return home.

Little by little, transportation is improving, Elsa thought.

This is also a credit to my husband Jin ......, she realized,

"Did you see the, uh, baby?

I tried to change the subject so that she would not notice my slightly reddened face.

"Yeah, I just saw her. Ingrid seems to be in good health, I'm glad to hear.

"Yes, she is."

Gloria nodded at that.

"Are you busy at your brother Fritz's place?"

"Yes. Every day is full.

Fritz's face was a fresh smile as he answered.

Seeing this, Elsa thought that this kind of life must be suitable for her brother.

She decided to discuss the important matter of Ingrid in the presence of her father.

"......What do you think, brother Fritz, about Ingrid becoming brother Moritz's wife?"

Elsa was nervous about what the answer would be, but Fritz's answer was simple and clear.

"Hmm?　It's good, isn't it?　If that brother can forget about his sister-in-law, that's a good thing.

Helena was Moritz's widowed wife. Their marriage was short, but they were very close .......

"...... Father, what?"

Elsa asked her father nervously.

The relationship between her brother Moritz and his lady-in-waiting Ingrid was similar to that of her father Georg and her mother Meine in the past.

But Georg said,

"...... I will abide by your decisions".

Elsa was relieved from the bottom of her heart.

Now, no one in Elsa's family would object to the decision.

The only thing that remained was Moritz himself and the Randall family's intention, but he was not too worried about this.

(My brother Rai would not object, and neither would my uncles (......).

Erza felt as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

It's a little late, but it's been a while since we had lunch at my parents' house.

Of course, it was a traditional dish of the Shoro Kingdom.

Barley risotto, stew and wurst (sausage) based on cow meat, sauteed summer vegetables, and gratin with shrimp from Lake Tosmo.

Elsa and Fritz were moved to tears by the menu, which Marlene had prepared herself.

......This is a nostalgic taste. I just can't get this taste out of my mouth."

"It's delicious. I'll have to learn how to season it.

Elsa and Gloria each expressed their own impressions of the dish.

Fritz just ate it and said it was delicious.

Chloe and Mio both said,

"It tastes like my grandma's."

"Delicious!

and "It tastes like my grandma's!

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

After lunch, when it was time for Chloe and Mio to take a nap, Marlene put them down in Elsa's room.

"...... as it used to be."

Seeing her ...... room as it once ...... was, and still is, made Elsa nostalgic.

It was the room where she spent her sensitive childhood. Elsa did not show her emotions much, but perhaps it was because she knew that she was only half a noblewoman and therefore reserved.

Erza put the twins on her bed and asked Soleil, who had followed her, to watch them.

Then the adults moved to the living room to chat and exchange information.

"So, the is now much more fulfilling?"

Yes, the second term cadets are being trained.

The early days of an organization are hard, aren't they?

That's what I mean.

Elsa is with Fritz.

So Gloria-san will continue to serve in an informal capacity?

"Yes. Yes. With your permission, I'd like to support her in that way.

Yes, each wife supports her husband in her own way.

Yes. On the other hand, there are people whose wives work outside and their husbands work inside.

Well, that's true.

Gloria and Marlene were having a conversation.
