819 - - 24-05 Yarmars Workshop
Jin who took on the task of making the sword without thinking about the material.
"...... that bothers me too."
Erza was equally troubled.
"There is a way to have it sent from Horai Island, though."
"......If they ask where I got it from..."
In that case, there's no excuse.
"......That's a problem."
The deadline is tomorrow morning before 9:00. It is now 5:00 PM. Jin and Erza should be able to make it in time, but the lack of materials is a problem even before they can make it.
"Father. Why don't you ask Mr. Yalmer?"
"Eh, J?rmer?"
Yes. He just came back from Dali a few minutes ago, didn't he?
J?rmer Balz Gamma is a magecraftsman in the Kingdom of Celuloa, and I believe he has a workshop in the castle," Reiko says.
"So ....... That's the only way.
Going down to the castle to buy materials would be problematic.
So Jin and Reiko decided to go to Yalmar's place first.
"Well, I guess he is on the first floor.
Yes, father, there is a workshop building in the courtyard on the west side of the first floor.
Oh, I see. Are you familiar with ......?
Reiko nodded, happy to be of service to Jin.
"Yes. Since the other day, a group of Shinobi have been inspecting the inside of the castle on your order.
I see.
Except for a few areas that have been magically warded, the survey has been completed.
Magical ...... warding?
Yes, except that an alarm goes off when you pass through one of them.
Jin heard this and tried to imagine the configuration.
"But, even if a rat or an insect gets through it, the alarm will go off, right?"
"Yes. It probably won't react to anything below a certain size."
"I guess so. If that's the case, wouldn't the Shinobi Forces be able to pass through it?"
Reiko countered Jin's suggestion that a five-centimeter tall intelligence golem unit would be able to pass through.
"That is quite conceivable. However, the old man is cautious about the possibility of it reacting to <> or <>."
"I see."
If Lao Tzu had the information processing capability as Lao Tzu, he would be able to analyze the nature of such wards, but it was too much to expect such a 5 centimeter-long Shinobi Unit to be able to do so.
"Besides, about 30 percent of such rooms are known to us by peeping into them when people come and go, and most of the time they are not very big rooms. Like the locker room or the king's bedroom."
While whispering this conversation, Jin and Reiko arrived at the first floor.
There was a guard at the west service entrance, but he let Jin and Reiko through as soon as he saw them.
"There it is."
Reiko pointed to a workshop the size of a small gymnasium at the end of the courtyard.
"It's huge. ...... but if they are making something like <>, it should be at least that big.
As Jin and the others approached, Yalmar came outside, apparently having spotted it through a window.
"What is this, Jin-dono? What are you doing here? Well, please come in."
Yalmer looked surprised, but he invited Jin and Reiko into the workshop and offered them a chair.
"We have never invited you in here before, Jin-dono."
At the back of the workshop was a reception room.
He told me that this workshop also served as his residence.
"Welcome."
A cup filled with taeyehoe was placed in front of Jin and Reiko.
"Thank you. But Reiko doesn't drink.
But the unexpected reply came.
"Yes, I know. But it's a courtesy."
I looked at the person who put down the cup and saw a beautiful blue-eyed woman with long blond hair pulled back in a ponytail.
"This is my wife, Mabel."
She had a calm demeanor and a well-proportioned body. She was about the same age as Jin, or slightly older.
"Oh, I'm Jin Nido."
When Jin introduced himself, Mabel responded with a smile.
Yes, I know who you are. My husband told me about you the other day.
May is also my assistant.
"Yes. Yes. That's why she became my wife.
Meibel laughed softly, and Jin thought that they seemed to be a good couple.
After a short chat, Jin went on to the main topic.
"...... so I've been asked to make a sword and accessories for you. I was wondering if you could share the materials with me.
Yalmer and Mabel laughed.
"If that's the way you want it, go ahead. We don't have much."
However, glancing at the shelves of materials, there was a wide selection. There were Magi Crystals, Magi Stones, Magi Resins, and regular jewelry.
"Well then, after dinner, I will visit again with Elsa.
Hitoshi was taken in by Mabel's mood, and he spoke in a more respectful manner than usual.
"I'll be waiting for you then."
Mabel smiled at him and saw him off, and he returned to his room.
"Well, that's good."
After returning to his room, Jin was having a meal and reported to Elsa that he had successfully concluded an agreement with her.
"So, have you decided what you're going to make?"
"Well, have you decided what you are going to make? "I think I'll make a pendant top.
He thought that something too bulky would not be suitable as a gift since he would be on his way on a trip.
Jin, on the other hand, wondered what kind of sword Gloria would like.
"Most of your collection is straight swords," he said.
Jin recalls the collection he was shown at Gloria's house before.
"Japanese swords, after all. ......
I have a plan to arrange it for this world, though.
Reiko's is a perfect (as Jin remembers it) Japanese sword, but Jin intends to change it a little.
"But... ......"
Jin wants to make it so that it is at least somewhat unique.
However, he is not sure how much he should show in front of Yalmer and his friends.
"Let's just go for now."
"Let's just go for now.
So Jin and Elsa headed for Yalmer's workshop building with Reiko and Edgar respectively.
"We've been waiting for you."
Yalmar greeted the two of them.
"Are you Elsa-sama? I am Mabel, wife of Yalmar. I look forward to working with you.
"My name is Elsa Randall. It is a pleasure to meet you.
Elsa and Mabel greet each other and start working on the project. We don't have much time.
"...... silver and some gold. And some blue gems.
Then choose one of these.
Mabel points to one of the shelves.
"These materials are from my own collection, so you can spend as much as you like."
It is true that there is a big problem with using materials that were prepared with the government's budget as one pleases.
As Elsa seemed to have started talking with Mabel, Jin asked J?rmaa about the situation of the materials.
"I need some steel for blades."
This request was based on the fact that the golem that Yalmar had made, its steel skeleton, was made of very high quality steel.
"Yes, here it is."
J?rmer pointed to a shelf where several types of ingots were displayed. Jin decided to take his time in making his selection.
