Reiko pulled out her hand, which only caused a scratch on the private's face. The private, however, blows a bubble and passes out.

"It's over!"

Reiko turns to Jin and brushes the dust off her skirt.

"Reiko, you didn't kill anyone, did you?"

"Yes, I didn't want to make your father a murderer."

Since Reiko is an automaton, Jin takes responsibility for her actions. Reiko was taking it easy on him, which she did not want to do, as she had done in the days of the previous Magecraft Meister, Adriana Barbora Zetsi.

"That's all well and good, but ...... you've done it."

Jin muttered, matching her tone,

"That's just great."

Such a voice echoed.

What?

When he turned around, he saw Count Kuzma standing there with Sevance.

"I heard that Count Galana had sent out his private army, so I was curious and ran over to see if it was over.

The private army stretched out, eleven men in all.

"Oh, my God. Your lady's strength is the best in the kingdom. I think she may be stronger than the kingdom's first knight.

The Count glanced at Reiko,

"But this is not good."

"What?"

Bina looks doubtful,

"She refused Count Galana's invitation and assaulted a vassal without cause."

"What ...... is that!"

Bina tried to argue, but the Count stopped her,

"Yes, I know. What I just said was that I expected to be treated as such.

That means that Count Galana will use his power to fabricate the whole affair in such a way.

"Bina had nothing to do with beating up Count Galana's private army."

Jin stopped using honorifics.

"Yes, well, that's true, but we don't have any witnesses."

"Yes, you do. We have a great witness, Count Kuzma.

After saying this, Jin turned to Bina and said, "Bina, I know you,

"Beena, it's been a pleasure getting to know you. I hope Nana and Lardo are all right now, and that you have gotten the hang of making magic tools. And above all, you have Count Kuzma, who understands you."

"Eh, huh?　What are you talking about, Jin?

Bina was puzzled.

"You don't need me anymore, do you?

Saying this, he pulls out a magi crystal from his pocket. It is green in color and has the wind attribute.

"I'll give you this as a parting gift. Please put it to good use.

With these words, he half-forcibly puts it in Bina's hand. Jin then turned to the Count,

"Count, I'm leaving this country. Take care of Beena. ...... Beena, good-bye."

Then, without hearing Bina's words, he started to run.

"Wait a minute, Jin!　I haven't even thanked you enough!

Jin runs away with those words behind him. Reiko followed him, but since Reiko was much faster than Jin, Reiko had to pick him up and run with him.

"Excuse me, father."

"Oh, no, Reiko..."

"This way is faster."

Jin could not make up his mind at the end of the race.

* * * *

"......"

"............"

Bina and Count Kuzma remained silent for a while after Jin disappeared. The Count was the first to speak.

"Beena, who the hell is this ...... Jin?"

Bina asked,

"I don't know,...... but he's a rather special kind of magecraftsman who lives on an isolated island,......."

"Hmmm, I see."

At that moment the men who had been knocked unconscious by Reiko let out a groan. It was about time that some of them noticed.

"Beena, get in my carriage and hide!"

"Yes, yes."

Count Kuzma turned to Count Galana's private army,

"What are you doing?

He called out loudly.

"You're making a disgrace of yourself in a place like this. Go back to your employer!

The private soldiers, who had been alerted by the Count's shouts, packed the still unconscious into their wagons and left without a word.

"Bina, that's enough," Count Kuzma said.

Count Kuzma said, and Beena came out of the carriage.

"Hmmm, but I don't think it's a good idea to live here after all this time.

"What?"

The Count smiled,

"I'm sorry, but I think you'd better leave this house and workshop and come to my place."

"Huh, yes?"

Bina still did not understand. The Count saw that,

"In other words, if you stay here, Count Galana will try again like he did today. That's why I'm asking you to come to my house."

"Oh, I'm the Count?"

"Yes. But don't worry. I'm not trying to get Beena to do anything. I'm just asking you to move your house and workshop to my residence and its grounds."

"......"

The Count turns to Bina, who is having a hard time keeping up with the rapid developments,

"Well, once you've made up your mind to do so, you'd better hurry and pack your things. Sevans, go back to the house and come back with a carriage to carry the luggage.

"Yes, sir."

Sevans replied, got on his horse, and rode away. The Count said,

"What's the matter?　Bina, get your luggage quickly. Or do you need my help?"

When the Count said this, Bina jumped up and down,

"Oh, no, of course not!　I'll get ready right now!

She ran into the house.

He said, "I'm going to get ready right now!

"So this is what happened after all."

Jin muttered as he relaxed in his house in Horaijima.

"Yes, but wasn't the timing just right?"

Reiko said while making a cup of tea.

"Well, I stopped helping Bina without any excuse, but I guess I had no choice. But now that I think about it, we missed seeing inside the walls of Blueland.

That's true, but...

I still don't know much about this world. ......

So what are you going to do now?

"Well, let's see. "Well, I would like to go somewhere warmer, season-wise."

In that case, there is a warp gate to the southern seaside.

"The southern seaside, that's nice. Is there anything interesting there?

There are many islands and shipping is well developed.

Shipping!　That means there are ships!

Yes.

"Yes." "Okay, let's go there next. I want to see the ships of this world.

"Yes, sir."

And so, in another land, the adventure of Jin and Reiko begins.
