Finally, Jin and the others decided to head for the village of Koihel.

"Well, as expected of a !"

"A flying vehicle!　Just as the said!

<.

In such a situation, Jin greeted Mayor Fadon.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality. I'll see you soon.

"You are always welcome, Mr. Nido."

The townspeople were excited, but did not rush to see him off.

Perhaps it is the people's spirit in this area.

The people of the town were excited, but they did not rush to see us off in a rush.

Look, there is the village of Koihel.

We are there in a few minutes.

We decided to land at a distance out of sight of the village so as not to cause a big commotion.

Fortunately, there was a small rise and we were able to descend in the shadow of it.

"Are they watching us?"

"No, I'm fine. <."

Edgar's explanation convinced everyone.

"Okay, let's go."

Edgar is left in charge this time, and Jin and the others get off the .

The cargo is supplies to be exchanged for . The reason it was not money was Goose's advice.

As they walked to the village, a villager working in the fields approached them.

"Are you a traveler?

"Yes, I am. Do you know any of the people at ...... Annette?"

The conversation is left to Goose.

"Annette?　Oh, you must be the elder's granddaughter. She's supposed to be at home today.

Where do you think the house is?

"Outside the village. ...... No, by the woods a little ways from the village. Go all the way down here and take a left at that big tree and you'll see it.

"Thank you."

I thought they were in the village, but it seems they live outside the village. They seem to be living in seclusion.

Jin and the others walked as they had been instructed, and they came upon a medium-sized house on the side of a forest.

"The style of the house is a little different from the others.

It looked more like a Japanese-style house.

As we approached the house, a middle-aged man who was plowing a small field in front of the house looked up and saw Jin and the others,

He looked up, saw Jin and the others, and said, "Well, that's unusual. You have a visitor?

He said without an accent.

"Yes. Is there a person by the name of Annette?　I have a letter of introduction from Mr. Fadon in Nadé."

"Oh, Mr. Fadon. Is he a good man?

Yes, he was very welcoming.

I see. Well, that's very kind of you. I'm Annette's husband, Gawel.

My name is Goose. This is my friend Saki. And this is Jin and his wife, Elsa.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, thank you for coming. Well, please come on in.

Sorry to interrupt your work.

No, I was just reforesting the fields for the winter. Don't worry about it."

With these words, Gawel opened the door of his house and invited them in.

Here, too, they had to take off their shoes at the front door. This must be the influence of .

"Oh, Gawel, you have a visitor.

"Yes, Grandfather, I know Mr. Fadon and he has a letter of introduction to Annette.

What? For me?

An old man with white hair and white beard came out from the back. A small middle-aged woman came out from behind him. This woman must be Annette.

"Ms. Annette, it's been a long time.

"Uh, ...... oh yes, it's Goose, isn't it? I remember seeing your face a couple of times in Nadé.

Here, Annette, why don't you show me to my room instead of standing around talking?

Yeah, sure. This way, please, ladies and gentlemen.

We were shown to a room that looked like a parlor.

It was a wooden room with a low sofa and a table.

Elsa, Jin, Goose, and Saki sat down in that order. Reiko stands directly behind Jin.

Annette was sitting with her.

"Why don't you sit down over there, little girl?

Annette, who does not know that Reiko is an automaton, calls out to her, but Reiko does not respond.

"No, I am ......".

Probably she was going to continue with <>, but to avoid any trouble, Jin called Reiko.

Reiko, come here.

"Yes, father."

Reiko obeys Jin's words.

"Sit here."

Jin points to his lap.

"Yes, but ......"

"No."

"...... yes."

Goose saw this and took out the letter of introduction that had been entrusted to him and handed it to Annette.

"It's definitely Mr. Fadon's handwriting. Do you want the dye of the ...... rainbow-colored caterpillar (rayochworm)>>?"

"Yes, that's right."

"So you can use magic?　Because that dye won't change color unless you apply magic power to it.

Yes. Jin and Erza-san are mages and magi-smiths.

It was Goose who introduced them as the common <> in Huso and Mitsuho.

"I have something like this in mind as payment for the dye powder.

Jin took out some tools and magical artifacts from the baggage he had prepared.

"This is a lighter. Press this button to light it.

Since it is powered by a instead of the that he and Bina had made, it can last for 10 years if it is enough to make a fire like this.

"And this is a <. If you put it in muddy water, it will become clean in a few seconds.

It is a magical tool developed with sanitation in mind, and has the magical effect of <><>.

It is originally used in drains, sewage reservoirs, and permeated toilet tanks.

"And ......"

"Wait a minute. We don't have that much rainbow caterpillar dye in stock."

"What?"

It seemed that the magic tool Jin had brought had received a high evaluation.

"Then, is it all right if I exchange this lighter and the water purification stone for 500 grams of dyed dye from the rainbow-colored caterpillar?"

"Yes, that's enough. Thank you.

The lighter and the water purification stone would certainly be useful in such a secluded life.

"Anyway, aside from the lighter, I'm surprised you believed me about the effect of the purification stone.

Annette smiled at Jin who said what he had to say.

"Mr. Fadon told me that you are the second coming of the .

Apparently, the letter of introduction had written about Jin in detail.

"If you could, I would like you to tell me about the <>.

"Yes, that would be great."

Knowing that <> was well respected in Mitsuho and Huso, Jin, who had gotten what he was looking for, thought he would tell him about him as a way of thanking him.
