Rai and his brothers can use the front guest room and Jin can use the back guest room, okay?"

After the discussion was over, the group decided to make themselves at home.

Now that Moritz has fallen asleep, it is Erza who is giving instructions to the servants as the temporary head of the house.

"I miss ......."

Once that was done, Erza went into her room.

It was kept just as it had been before she left with Reinhardt.

There was no dust and it did not smell musty. The servants must have cleaned the room regularly.

I throw myself down on the bed. Looking up at the ceiling, you see the familiar lighted grimoire hanging from the ceiling.

"No change."

The room has not changed, but I have changed, Erza thinks to herself.

Before I started my journey I knew nothing, but now...

Engineering magic, healing magic, and science given to me by Jin. In addition, the knowledge and experience I have gained on my journey.

I am aware that I am still inexperienced. But even so, I am certain that I have grown.

For the sake of someone else.

Compared to the time when I left everything to others, I can do more by myself now. Above all, I have acquired skills that I can be proud of.

Just as I was thinking about this, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in.

"Sorry to bother you."

It was Reinhardt.

Rai, my brother.

"...... just received an envoy from your country."

What?

What?

Jin, Erza, and Reinhardt went to the reception room.

There, Moritz, who had been in bed as a special envoy from the country, was answering to them as the deputy of the patriarch.

He looked like paper and looked as if he would collapse at any moment.

The envoy had received an imperial order from Her Majesty the Emperor, and was said to be a person equivalent to an administrative vice-minister.

We can only watch from afar. They thought they were at ......, but the envoy spotted them and beckoned to them.

"Mister Jin Nido, Mister Reinhardt, and Mister Erza. You have the right to be heard. This way, please."

Jin and the others sat down a short distance away and watched what was going on.

The ambassador stood Moritz up and read the letter in front of him.

"Your subordinates have insulted His Highness Ernest, the guest of honor. And hostile acts against Sir Jin Nido."

Moritz looks as if he is about to collapse when he hears the charges.

"Tampering with the rules of the Gonkwrenz competition by bribing the judges."

Obviously he's referring to the underwater search.

"In addition, the technical exposition, a national commemorative ceremony, was disrupted and some of the facilities were destroyed by disturbances in the spectator stands."

There are many witnesses. There was no escape.

"It is an act unbecoming of an aristocrat and cannot be overlooked. Therefore, in light of the above, Georg Randall von Umber is stripped of his viscountcy. I hereby order him to retire."

Moritz is drooping. Then the final words were spoken.

"At the same time, the Viscountship of Randall is to be dissolved. His heir, Moritz Randall von Umber, shall remain in the custody of the Randall family."

"...... I understand."

Moritz, his face pale, bowed his head to the messenger.

"The second son, Fritz Randall von Grosz, will retain his position in the army. His assignment will be announced in due course. Elsa Randall von Rasula will remain in the custody of Reinhard Randall von Adamas.

The above was the notice from the envoy.

The Viscounts of Randall, a minor family, have now disappeared. They are nobles, but without titles, and at the bottom of the heap.

After the envoy left, Moritz fell asleep again.

After the envoy left, Moritz fell asleep again.

"After all, Moritz is with Reinhardt, that is, in the custody of Count Randall, isn't that right?"

Jin, who was listening from a distance, asked. I am not good at this kind of exchange.

"Yes, that's what I meant. Well, as for Mr. Moritz, he will be in charge of the town of Eksi under my father's order, so I guess it will remain as it is now, right?"

This was Reinhardt's guess.

"It would be wasteful to have someone else rule now. I think that's the way it will be since it was originally run by Mr. Moritz.

The reason is clear.

"But ......"

Reinhardt stammers.

"...... uncle, but if it gets out that you tried to poison the marquis with arsenic, you'll probably be condemned to death."

Erza's color changed when she heard this. Even though she hated her father, she could not remain calm when she heard that he would be condemned to death. Seeing Elsa like this, Jin opened his mouth.

"...... only those here know about it and the evidence is simply that there was liquor and arsenic in the same room. I don't believe the demoniac's note. It is possible that they are trying to confuse us."

"Are you sure about ......?"

Erza looks into Jin's face.

"However, if the Marquis sues us, we won't be able to hide it. ...... And considering Saki's feelings, I don't think it's a good idea to keep it a secret. ......"

Jin, troubled, looked at Reinhardt.

"Well,...... I guess we should tell the Marquis after all."

It could be said that the Marquis was the worst victim.

"Then, if he has some souvenirs or something, he might ...... be a little better off!"

Jin slapped his knee and looked at Erza.

"Elsa, I'm going to make an automata for the Marquis. Take it with you to the hospital. And I'll tell him the truth. Then Elsa will apologize on his behalf."

Jin said, "We have to bet on the Marquis's heart and his love for Elsa when he saw Reiko and said she was pretty.

"Umm...... well, I know I have to tell the Marquis, so I guess it's a good idea...... I don't feel like it's a bribe."

"It's not a bribe. <. Hey, Elsa."

"...... Jin looks bad."

Erza commented on Jin's smiling face as he told her of his plan.

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

"......Well, I have something to say to you guys."

Jin opened his speech in front of Reinhardt, Bertsch, Erza, and Meene.

"Following Horai Island and Kunlun Island, we are developing an island called <>. It is located in the sea not far from Leonard's kingdom. As I told you before, the Kingdom of Leonard has been destroyed. So it's not a territory of any one. So I am going to develop the island and open it to the public.

Jin explains all at once and looks around at the faces of the people. Silence reigned for a while, but Reinhardt was the first to open his mouth.

"Yes, I understand what you mean. It is true that it would be dangerous to open Horai Island and Kunlun Island to the public. But then, are you going to disclose the means to get there as well?

Reinhardt said, "Since they are remote islands, we won't be able to go there without a warp gate.

"Yes. "Yes, that's right. So I'm thinking of setting up specific warp gates that can be used at will."

"Where will they be located?"

"For now, I'm thinking of the Shoro Kingdom, the Egelea Kingdom, and the Klein Kingdom."

The country that appointed Jin as a Magecraft Meister and the country where he is friends with the prince and princess of the Magecraft Meister. That is reason enough.

And each of them will be heavily protected," explains Jin.

"We will attach two full-time golems to them, and they will not be able to use the warp gate unless they are authorized to do so, and if anything happens to them, the warp gate will self-destruct.

"I see, so they can't know how it works."

"I see. So you're going to make sure they don't know how it works." "Yes. I will also take a number of other measures to make it less conspicuous.

"Well, I guess that's okay then. And what about the facilities?

"I'm thinking of making it the same type as the research institute on Horai Island. I would like to make it possible to conduct research on magical engineering, ordinary engineering, alchemy, and so on, beyond the borders of the country.

Everyone nodded deeply at Jin's explanation.

"I think it's a good idea.

"I think it's a good idea." "I agree."

"I think it's a good idea.

"I don't know how difficult it is, but I like the idea of transcending national boundaries.

All four agreed.

"Thank you. Now I want to talk to Saki. ......"

Jin then told the there that they should go to Horai Island tomorrow to finalize the details.
