1942 - - 52-14 Meeting
The golem was brought by Viscount Galana.
Jin was worried that something might happen, but it seems that his fears were unfounded and nothing happened that day.
The next day, the 21st.
At 9:00 a.m., after breakfast, Jin began to think that it was time for him to leave.
"Mr. Shin, could you come in?
Jin was asked.
Having no reason to refuse, Jin, Reiko, and Lise were led by the servant who came to call them.
They thought they were in a pavilion, but they were in a courtyard.
The weather was fine. The weather was fine. Since it was sunny, they decided to have a less formal event like a tea ceremony or a social gathering outdoors.
There were several small tables, the Marquise Kuzma in a wheelchair, the Marchioness, four other nobles and their servants.
"Oh, Mister Singh. ...... everyone, they are my benefactors. I told them about you ...... and they said they would love to meet you."
"I am Magecraftsman Shin. This is Reko. This is Lise, the healer.
This is Count Setena. Thank you for healing Logres. I thank you too."
Logres is the name of the Marquis of Kuzma.
Viscount Lassan. This is my son Vernon.
Viscount Galana.
They introduced themselves to each other and asked Jin and the others to take their seats.
Then tea was brought to them. After taking a sip of the tea, the Marquis Kuzma opened his mouth.
"I cannot thank you enough, Lord Singh, for what you have done for us. I thank you again.
"No, you're welcome."
Count Setena approached Jin and said, "Hmmm...
"Hmm, does Mr. Shin belong to the Nordic Federation?"
"Not exactly, but I am an old friend of Zion's."
"Well, you must have a certain status or position to be able to address us as 'Mr. Sion' when we call you 'Mr. Sion'.
Yes, well...
"Well, the Nordic Federation is not an aristocracy, is it?"
Viscount Rasarn said as if he had just remembered.
Yes, since the Nordic Federation was originally organized by , there are positions of < in the Nordic Federation, but other than that, there is no particular difference in status.
There is some distinction based on age, but this can be reversed depending on ability.
It is an extension of the << patriarchal system>, so to speak, so it is not exactly democracy, but as an ethnic minority, they are well organized in this way.
"Was Mitsho also a <? No aristocracy, right?"
Vernon, the son of Viscount Rasaan, asked to no one in particular.
"Yes, they do. I'm not sure I understand."
It was his father, Viscount Rasaan, who answered.
"No, as a form of society, each has its own advantages and disadvantages," replied Vernon. What do you think of democracy, ......, Lord Xin?"
Viscount Rasaan asked Jin with a slightly probing look.
"...... Well, in my opinion, the good thing about democracy is that there is little discrimination in status, and the opinions of the people are reflected in politics. The disadvantages are that it takes time to make decisions on important matters and that the people tend to lose interest in politics when there is little change.
"......How well versed you are in politics as well, Mister Shin."
Marquis Kuzma listened to Jin's statement and was impressed by its content, but as for Jin, he was just making a statement that was common knowledge in modern Japan.
It is normal for ordinary people in an aristocratic society to have no interest in politics, because they are not interested in it. This is because even if they are interested and have knowledge, they do not have a place to make use of it.
However, there is one person who does not approve of such political discussion ......, even though it is at a level that cannot be called .......
Viscount Galana.
"......By the way, you are a magecraftsman, Mister Shin, are you familiar with golems?"
"Eh? Ah, yes, I am familiar with them to a certain extent.
"Ah, yes, I know a little bit about them. ...... Marquis, I've actually acquired a wonderful golem. I've brought it here to present to you.
"Oh?"
That seems to be the golem that Reiko has discovered with her .
"Would you like to see ......?"
"Hmmm... ......."
Marquis Kuzma thought for a moment,
"Then let's see it here," he said.
"Oh," he said.
"Oh, at once, then."
Viscount Galana said something to one of his servants, who hurried out of the garden.
"The creator is a magecraftsman who has been improving in recent years. I am the one who finds him and looks after him.
The Viscount is a little proud of himself.
What is the name of this Magi Craftsman?
His name is Zyk Biggin.
I've never heard of you.
The Marquis nods his head.
"Of course you are right. He is only 22 years old and not well known to the world.
But his talent is well known.
Meanwhile, the servant from before comes to carry the golem on a cart.
"Oh, here it comes. ......Here it is, the latest Zeek creation."
"Oh, ......."
It was Viscount Rasaan who sounded impressed. His son Vernon was also intrigued by the golem.
Count Setena, by contrast, seemed uninterested.
The Marquis, on the other hand, seems to be interested to some extent and is waiting for Viscount Galana's explanation.
(......)
Jin was a little impressed.
"What do you think! "Look at this magnificent body line! It looks just like a human being, doesn't it!
Indeed, it was quite a sight to behold. At just under 160 centimeters tall, she is a female golem.
I would be happy if you could use her as a nursing golem or a maid golem. "
The fact that the Viscount uses an old-style key word for activation may be his hobby or the creator's preoccupation.
"Oh ......"
You wanted to see me, Master?
The golem looked at Viscount Galana and bowed. From Jin's point of view, the movement is fairly smooth.
(It's not Adriana's style. (Not the Adriana style, which is becoming mainstream these days.)
Just by looking at the movement for a moment, Jin recognized the formality.
"Mm. This is His Excellency the Marquis of Kuzma. Greetings.
"Yes. ...... Nice to meet you, Your Excellency. My name is Donna. Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
"......How do you do?"
The golem, who introduced himself as Donna, greeted her with a neat gesture.
Viscount Galana then looked back at Jin,
"How is it from your point of view?"
Viscount Galana then turned to Jin and asked him, "How is it from your point of view?
Jin was inattentive because he was suddenly asked for his opinion,
"Well, ......, yes. I think it's not so bad.
He gave his honest opinion.
"Well, ......, it's not so bad......?"
Viscount Galana seemed offended by this assessment.
"Oh, no, I think it's excellent!
Jin hurried to reiterate, but it was a little too late.
"I would like to hear what in the world you think of it," said the Viscount.
The Viscount pressed Jin.
