Magicraft Meister Part 2

1213 - - 32-31 Dyeing powder

When Annette heard that Jin was going to speak about , she called her whole family.

Annette called her entire family: Hazavance the elder, his grandson Annette, and her husband Gawel. Gawel was her son-in-law.

The elder Hazavance's companion is deceased, and his children are living with Annette and Gawel's children in the village of Koijel.

"Well, let me introduce myself again. My name is Jin Nido. <

"Magecraft master? Not <>?"

Husavance raised his voice in question.

"Yes, I will tell you that as well."

Jin looks at Goose.

"Then I'll tell you first.

As expected, Guth was more used to this kind of talk.

He explains as he did to Fadon, the mayor of Nadé.

"Oh... ......"

"I see."

"I see", "I didn't know that ......".

Goose's story proceeded, with each of us responding with "I see" and "I didn't know that was the case.

When Goose's story was over, I asked him a few questions, and the story of <> ended.

"Umm, <> has such a past ......"

"That's very informative!"

"So the disciple of <> is the Magecraft Meister, the Magecraft Master!

All three of them seemed to understand.

"You mean that the generations of the Magecraft Meister are you, Jin-dono? I understand now.

The elder Hazavance nodded his head repeatedly.

It was already lunchtime.

"In my house, we have a simple lunch, is that all right with you?

"Yes, that's fine.

When you are busy working during the daytime, it is hard to have a leisurely lunch.

When Jin was working for a black company in modern Japan, he used to eat only bread or standing-only noodles, which did not take much time.

"Here you go."

What was served looked exactly like or .

However, the broth was not soy sauce based, but salt and meat based. It might be similar to tonkotsu-shio (pork bone broth).

"Yes, it's good."

Jin had had tonkotsu ramen before, but this was his first cold barley.

But it was surprisingly good.

"Oh, it's delicious."

"Yes, it's delicious."

"This was my first time too, but it's good."

Elsa, Saki, and Goose seemed to like the taste too.

Reiko was also analyzing the sauce and sending the data to the old man.

"Thank you very much for the food.

"It was delicious!"

Jin and the others put down their chopsticks in satisfaction.

"Now, please check the effect of the water purification stone.

"You're a very disciplined person."

Jin wanted to make sure that they were satisfied before making a deal.

"Well then, let's see if the water in this vat will do the trick.

Hazavance brings a bucket of water from in front of the house and places it in front of Jin.

It looked like a rain barrel, slightly greenish and stagnant.

"I understand."

Jin takes out a stone about the size of his thumb and throws it gently into the tub.

"Oh, oh?"

Hazavance and Annette look on in amazement as the green water turns clean even as they watch.

In less than 10 seconds, the water is completely clean. Even the moss on the vat had broken down and was gone.

"That's wonderful!"

Hazavance claps his hands in delight.

"One can be used about 20 times. When they are no longer clean, you can use new ones.

Jin hands over 10 .

"That's a cheap price for 500 grams of <> dye!"

Hazavance, clearly aware of its value, looks apologetic.

"You also have this other magical tool, don't you? That would be too much of an advantage for us. I wish there was something I could do.

"...... Then, if you have any pupa of <>, I'd like to have a few of them."

"I see. <

Hazavance called Gawel and told him to do so.

"Okay, I will go. I'll be on my way.

"Now then, I will give you 500 grams of dyed powder from the rainbow caterpillar.

While Gawel went to look for chrysalis, I would like to start with the dye I have on hand.

"Here it is."

A small bottle was placed in front of Jin and the others.

"Try it."

He took a small amount, about an earful, on a plate and dissolved it with a drop of water.

"If you add magic power to it, it will change color.

"I see."

Jin holds up his hand.

Not magic, but magical power.

Actually, this is surprisingly difficult.

But Jin has done this in various situations, so he is used to it.

"......"

"Oh?"

The water that had been clear turned from light red to yellow to blue, and then darkened in color.

"I see, now I understand that the color depends on the intensity."

Jin said, removing his hand,

"Well done," said Jin, removing his hand.

Hazavance bowed his head in admiration.

"As expected of a <>. ......

Having confirmed the magic tools and Jin's abilities, the elder Hazavance was truly impressed.

"If you soak the cloth in the dye and let it dry, the color will not fade, nor will it change color if you add magic power later."

Hazavance explains.

"Be careful if it gets on your hands, especially if you are a mage, because it will stain your skin.

"I see."

Jin thought to himself, "I'll make sure to wear rubber gloves when handling it.

"If you accidentally swallow it, you may get diarrhea or vomit, so be careful about that, too. On the other hand, the cloth dyed with this has insecticide and antiseptic effects.

Saki was beaming as she was given some useful information.

Meanwhile, Gawel came back.

"I'm back. We caught a lot more than we expected. I also brought some branches for them to eat.

"......?"

Jin sensed a familiar smell from the branch that Gawel offered.

"Uh, what's this smell ......?"

The branch had small leaves attached in a row, so-called .

"It's a member of the citran ...... family, which means citrus ...... tangerine ...... family, right, Prickly Ash?"

I picked a leaf and rubbed it, and it smelled even better.

"Yes, it's Prickly Ash, I'm sure. There must be some fruits, too.

Jin was pleased to find another spice.
