"Onee-chan!"

Hanna came out into the hallway as well, probably hearing Jin's noise. She was wearing a different dress.

This dress had no sleeves and hung from the shoulder straps. The bust is wide open, but it does not look at all s*xy on Hannah, who has no breasts.

The skirt is flouncy, and it makes a rustling sound as Hannah walks, probably because she is wearing a pannier underneath.

"Jin, how are you doing?　How are you doing, Jin?

Princess Rieschen asks with a mischievous look in her eyes. Jin smiles at her,

"Everything is finished," she replied shortly.

He answered shortly, "Everything is finished.

He did not expect that answer,

"What?

The princess's eyes widened.

Although she did not know much about magecraftsmen, she had an idea of what they were. However, she was completely betrayed, but in a good way.

"Princess, it is true. Jin-sama is a wonderful man. He fixed me completely.

Tia was the one who said this.

"Tia!　You can walk again?

"Yes, thanks to you, Jin-sama has fixed me. I'm back to normal, or even better than I was before. Now I can serve the princess forever.

"I see... I see... ......!"

The princess jumped on Tia. Tia caught the princess firmly. Tia had probably never been able to do this before because of her limp.

"There you go."

Tia said and picked up the princess. This was a true princess hug.

"That's good, that's good. ......

Jin, Erza, and Hannah were all smiling at the princess, who was even happier than when Tia had reactivated her yesterday.

* * * *

"I really wanted to introduce you to my father, the king. ......"

After lunch, Jin and the others told the princess that they wanted to leave.

The princess was a little reluctant, but she nodded her head. Perhaps she thought that forcing the princess to stay would not bring any good results.

At that moment,

"Excuse me.

Jessica Norton, the captain of the Kingsguard female knights, and Gloria Allstadt, the vice-captain of the Kingsguard female knights, came in together.

"Oh, Jin-dono is here too!

Jessica looked happy to see Jin and the others.

"We have the results of our analysis of those golems from yesterday, and we have come to report them to the princess. You all have a right to hear the results since you helped us.

So we move to the parlor. Jessica's eyes widened when she saw the automata working so well.

"Oh, they look so different from yesterday. Jin-dono, is that you?

"Yes. Jin has fixed all the automata here.

"Oh, I knew it!　He was a top-notch magecraftsman!　Not only does he know swords, but he also knows automata. ...... Oh, I remember he has a wonderful automata by his side. As expected of the Honorary Magical Craftsman of the Kingdom of Egelea, the "Onorari Magi Craftsman"!

The hot and bothered line is of course Gloria's. She is the one who made the automata for Jin. She was carrying the short sword that Jin had made for her on her hip.

An automata, or rather Tia, appeared with a cup of tea.

"Hi-Hime-sama, what is this?

Jessica rolls her eyes again when she sees that Tia, who could barely move yesterday, is moving normally today.

"Well, what a surprise!　Tia was also fixed by Jin today!

The princess took a sip of her tea and said proudly.

"But first, let me hear your report."

"Yes... ......"

Wiping the sweat from her forehead and straightening her posture, Jessica began her report. Her appearance shows the dignity of a captain of the Kingsguard female knight corps.

According to her report, the two captured golems were secretly brought in by the Unified Party (Unifiler) in a wagon.

They were activated around noon on the 27th, and their purpose was to confuse Alban.

When Jin hears this, he imagines in his heart.

At the time of the delivery, the Unification Party (Unifiler) was still striving for world domination, and Jules and his team probably could not have gotten this far.

"The three suspicious persons were also Unification Party (Unifiler) agents. But the previously announced ?　There is no evidence of such manipulation.

This is because many of the ordinary members who are not executives are willing to cooperate with the world conquest without brainwashing. Jin heard about this from Jules and others via Lao Kun.

"The Unification Party (Unifiler), huh? A troublesome opponent. ......

The princess makes a scowl. Jin resists the urge to tell her that the Unification Party (Unifiler) is now harmless.

"Thank you for your report. Yes, I'm going to send Jin and the others to the gate now, will you come too?

If the princess commands it...

"Yes, Jin-dono, are you leaving?"

Jessica immediately agreed, and Gloria muttered a few regretful words.

I'll come back to visit you again sometime.

Jin stood up with these words. Elsa and Hannah stood up as well. Reiko is holding a bag that should be almost empty. For some reason, it seems to be full.

The princess's carriage takes the group to the southern gate. In the carriage are Princess Rieschen, Tia, Jin, Elsa, Hannah, and Reiko. Jessica and Gloria are on horses, guarding the front and rear of the carriage.

Hannah is wearing the princess's dress. She has been given several other dresses. In fact, Reiko's luggage contained the dresses she had received.

"Yes, I'll give you this. You asked for it yesterday."

The princess then presented Jin and the others with a permit to enter the castle.

It was silver in color, and proved that she was a person recognized by the royal family. It has the likenesses of Jin, Erza, and Hannah engraved on it, so that no one else can use it.

"With this, you can pass through the gates at any time.

Ordinary people can only pass through the gates when they are open, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., but if they show this silver permit, they can pass at any time, except in times of war or other emergency.

"Thank you very much."

Jin accepts it gratefully. The portrait does not reveal the color of his hair, so it is safe to visit with a different hair color.

"And this is how I feel.

With these words, the princess handed Jin a heavy bag.

"Fifty gold coins, I don't know if this is fair, but it's the most I can give you. Please give me a break."

The amount was 500,000 tol, or about 5 million yen. Jin refused to accept it.

"Your Highness, this is too much!"

"Is that so?　But as a concubine, I can accept ......."

No, that money was originally taxed by the people. It is not good to waste it.

Jin admonishes. A few tenths of a percent of the gold might be from the wheat Jin and the others brought in last year.

"Hmm, then how much would you accept from us?"

Jin was at a loss for words when he was asked this question.

"Well, I think it would be about two gold coins.

The princess took out five gold coins from her bag and put them in Jin's hand.

What you did for me was more than enough for 50 gold coins. Please understand that. And I understand how you feel, but don't be too modest. It will lower the value of what you have done.

He squeezed Jin's hand,

"It has been a pleasure getting to know you and your friends. If you don't mind, would you be my friend?"

Jin and Elsa understood how the princess felt, and Hannah, the princess who had been so kind to them,

"Yes, I'd be happy to."

"Thank you."

"Will you be my friend, princess?　Yay!

How could I refuse?

"Well, thank you. Then please call me Reese from now on.

Yes, Mr. Reese.

Mr. Reese, is that correct?

Miss Reese!

Oh, that's right. Yes, this is a good day.

Meanwhile, the carriage pulled up outside the gates. Jessica and Gloria jumped on their horses to see if there was anyone suspicious in the vicinity, and rode a little farther to the woods.

Jin said that it was fine to go as far as the gate, but the princess seemed to be regretting her decision and drove the carriage to the outside of the gate.

She looked out the window of the parked carriage,

"Is your carriage outside?

The princess asked, "Are your carriages outside? I had to answer a little vaguely, "Well, yes.

"Well, that's all right. I don't mean to pry. I'm not going to pry. ...... Come see me again sometime."

With these words, Princess Rhys shook each of Jin's hands.

Then the door is opened.

Before the stepstool was placed, Hannah, who was sitting near the door, was the first to get off.

She jumped down cheerfully, making the sound of her panniers scraping against the floor.

At that moment, there was someone who held her and put a dagger to her neck.
