Jin's was a great success, as not only children but also many adults who had free time came to the class.

After three days of , all the children of Kaina village (7 to 15 years old), 17 housewives with free time, and all the girls from La Rio village had participated in the class. All of the girls from Lalio village had declared their participation.

"I like this kind of thing.

Jin had heard about the development of folk crafts such as straw shoes during the off-season snowy winters, and he thought it would be a good idea to do the same in Kaina Village.

Since the idea of trying various things was very well received, we decided not to divide the classes into different categories this winter.

We only divided the classrooms by children and adults.

"I'll ask the craftsmen (smiths) to be the instructors when I and Elsa are not around."

In the village of Kaina, there is no prejudice or aversion toward the golem. In fact, they are very friendly toward them, which makes this kind of thing possible.

Jin is happy that he has succeeded in raising the cultural level of the village once again.

"So, today we will do sewing.

Jin explained that even boys should learn the basics of sewing, since they may need to mend clothes outdoors.

Therefore, everyone was listening to the lecture with serious faces.

"What I handed out to you is a <, a cloth for practice.

The white cloth has a light red line on it, and you are to practice moving the needle along the line.

"There are long and short sewing needles, but let's practice with the long ones first.

"Yes."

"Put the thimble on your middle finger and place it on the palm of your hand.

In the case of short stitches, the thimble is placed between the first and second joints of the middle finger, the so-called .

"The first thing to do is to do a "nami" stitch."

This is the basis of sewing and should be practiced carefully.

At first, some of the children have a hard time getting the stitches to line up.

"Look, Lu, your stitches are crooked.

"Oh, I shouldn't ...... have done that!"

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Yes, yes. ......<"

Ruu, adopted by Sally and Giebeck, is a master of healing magic and healed his own stab wound instantly.

"Ow!

Ow!

"Ouch!" "Are you okay?　......<"

"Oh, thank you!"

And then, I also cured the child who had pointed her finger at the needlework she was not accustomed to.

In Japanese sewing, the basic technique is to sew with a diagonal stitch. In Western sewing, it is also used for "gushi stitching" and "temporary stitching", so Jin decided to have her practice it carefully.

"Well then, let's try sewing a table cloth.

However, Jin thought that the children would get bored with the needlepoint cloth, so he let them try something a little more practical.

You can use it as a rag. You can take the rags home.

"Yes, sir."

The cloth is made of hemp, and the thread is hemp. Cotton from Mitsuho is still rare and expensive.

However, Jin has applied engineering magic < to the fabric so that it is as soft and pleasant to the touch as cotton.

The day ended with a practice of sewing and making a cloth.

It was Jin who felt that arts and crafts and home economics had already been combined.

When Jin was teaching arts and crafts in Kaina village, many countries were sending out survey teams to investigate the former Leonard's Kingdom.

One of them, the Cline Kingdom team.

"Hmmm... I wonder if it's so easy to walk on the path we had to walk so hard before..." said one of the members of the survey team of the former Leonard's Kingdom.

Gloria Allstadt, a female knight of the Kingsguard of Klein, one of the former Leonard's Corps, muses to herself.

The cold sweat still runs down her back when she recalls the incident in which she once prepared to die, but what motivates her even more is her will to become a employee.

A glimpse of a wonderful world. If only I could spread it throughout the land.

That is Gloria's will as a knight.

And...

(I want to see ...... and beyond)

That was Gloria's will as a member of the human race.

In addition.

(A workplace where I could work with her ...... and everything would be ideal.)

There was also a very human and personal motivation.

"You can really see the topography from the air."

Gloria's pensive thoughts were broken by the voice.

"Pascoe."

Pascoe Rush, third son of Baron Rush.

Recently knighted, he has been promoted from apprentice to member of the search party.

"<> or ....... <> who can build such a thing. I am ashamed of how foolish I was in the past.

It may have been a mere mutter, not directed at Gloria. But Gloria, as the leader of this research team, was listening to his monologue.

"That's all right. We all change. If we change for the better, that's a blessing. The past is the past. Live in the present and build a better future.

Yes, sir.

Pascoe has changed. Gloria feels that, although they have only known each other for a short time, he has lost his former arrogance and gained a sense of humility.

She is confident that she can count on him for the next leg of her journey into the unknown.

"This is a place where the Kingdom of Egelea and our research team have met before, having traveled southward and northward by different routes. In other words, it is a known place. But what awaits us beyond this point is unknown. We don't know what lies ahead. You'll do me a favor.

Yes, sir!

The survey team is led by Gloria. There are eight members in total, including Pascoe. Two of them are female knights. Including Gloria, there are three female knights.

Two of them are healers. Pascoe had befriended one of them, Tiffany Baldacci.

"We're about to land. Take your seats."

Gloria instructed, and those who had been looking out the window took their seats and fastened their simple seatbelts.

The pilot maneuvered the airship with a familiar hand and landed it on the ground.

There was a small open space. It was once called the Botsuffa site.

"The containers found here gave us a hard time. ......"

I still dream about that time. But Gloria has the strength of mind not to be traumatized.

"We'll camp here today."

We set up a tent and find a place to sleep.

"Captain, are you sure there is no danger?

Pascoe asked with a slightly worried look on his face.

"No?　There are only rock wolves and saber boars at best. There are no magical beasts.

"I see..."

Pascoe Rush, who has little experience in actual combat, was a little reluctant to hear that. Seeing this, Gloria tried to cheer him up a little,

"We have detection wards, so you won't be caught off guard. Relax."

She says to him, "Relax.

"Yes, yes."

Pascoe Rush, still uneasy, goes on patrol with a slightly pale face.
