The wounded were all treated without incident.

"Sir knight, we are so grateful to you for saving our servant".

A middle-aged lady of good appearance came out and greeted him.

"Is this the Viscountess Charnedo?　I am Femela Lance Dixon, of the Third Order.

"I'm sorry. My name is Jeanette Mascow. I'm a member of the Guardians of the Rescue.

Two female knights also introduced themselves.

And whose golem is that?

Hope's appearance did not seem to belong to the knight corps, so this was a natural question.

"My master is over there."

Hope indicated Jin and the others with her palm.

"Well, you've done a wonderful job!

The baroness seemed impressed by Hope's response.

"Now, would you please go and get your master?"

"Yes, of course."

The Viscountess Charnedo was impressed as Hope bowed and walked away. The two female knights did the same.

"Well, what can I do for you?"

Accompanied by Hope, Jin, Rhodes, and Reiko arrived.

"Are you the owner of this golem? We thank you for saving our servant.

The baroness bowed. And then..,

"I don't mean to thank you, but it's lunch time and I'd like to offer you a simple lunch.

He said to Jin and the two female knights. One of them, a female knight who introduced herself as Femela, said to Jin and the other two female knights, "No, we are not interested in lunch,

"No, this is our role and we are still on duty, so we respectfully decline.

She declined.

"Well, that's too bad. I'm ......, you're ......, uh, ......."

"My name is Jin Nido."

My name is Rhodes.

Jin and Rhodes, staring at the baroness, rushed to identify themselves.

This is Reiko, an automata. The golem is called Hope.

"Well, she's adorable!"

The baroness looked at Reiko and smiled.

"So you are travelers, are you?　I'd like to invite you to come with us.

"Uh, ......"

Jin and Rhodes had a short discussion and decided that it would be rude to refuse the invitation.

The baroness was as happy as a child when they told her.

"Well, I'm glad. Please come this way."

The two knights bowed and returned. A few servants came out and began to clean up the broken wall.

The injured gardener had already been brought back to the house.

The onlookers had also dispersed, and the only ones left were the two guards who were checking on the accident and the two female knights from earlier.

* * * * * *

"Welcome, my Lord Jin, my Lord Rhodes."

At the entrance of the mansion, the baroness bowed with a beautiful curtsy. She must have been paying her respects to Jin and Rhodes.

The lady-in-waiting stands to her right and the butler to her left.

"My name is Foire Lasca Charnedo, wife of the Viscount Charnedo, master of this house.

Jin Nido,...... is a magecraftsman.

Rhodoth, <>.

<

Well, well, well... You both have such distinguished titles, don't you? So you graduated from the Bachelor of Arts program at Avalon, didn't you, Lord Rhodes?

Yes, I am.

At this point, Jin and the other guests were ushered into the dining room of the house, as they were not allowed to stand around talking.

The room was furnished with simple but elegant furniture and had a relaxed atmosphere.

"I would like to thank you once again. Thank you for saving our servant."

The baroness thanks him again. You are a very conscientious person, Jin thought.

"Please have a seat."

"Excuse me."

Jin and Rhodes sat down in the chairs as the baroness motioned them to sit down. Reiko and Hope stood behind them.

First, a chilled glass of lemonade was brought to them. The Baroness sipped it, and Jin and Rhodes took a sip.

The taste was pleasant, with just the right amount of acidity and sweetness.

The baroness continues.

"So, if you are a Magi Craftsman and a Magi Bachelor, did you, Hope and Reiko, make the djinn yourself?"

"Yes, this djinn made it.

Yes, this gin made it.　Jin-sama must be very skilled.

"I'm very proud of you, sir.

Then lunch was served.

However, it was quite different from what Jin knew.

First of all, the volume of the sandwich was huge. The bread between the two sandwiches was about one centimeter thick, but the filling was more than three centimeters thick.

It reminded me of the giant hamburgers that existed in modern Japan.

However, there is also a more convenient version for Mrs. Yamanouchi to eat. The overall thickness of the hamburger was only about two centimeters.

"Then, please eat as much as you like.

Bon appétit.

Bon appétit.

This is used daily in Avalon, and it seems to have gained worldwide recognition by now.

The bread was fluffy and baked, and the sandwiches included meats such as ham and bacon, tuna-like fish sandwiches, and vegetable sandwiches with tometru (tomatoes).

To Jin's surprise, there was even a croquette sandwich.

The sandwiches were piled up so high that Jin and Rhodes could not finish them.

On the other hand, the leftover sandwiches would fit into the servants' stomachs, so it was easy for them to eat.

"Thank you very much for the food.

Thank you very much.

After the meal, a cup of Kaina tea was served. While drinking it, the baroness asked Jin

"Do you have more time?"

Jin sensed that there was something she wanted to talk about. Then she said,

"Yes, I'm fine.

She readily affirmed that she was fine. The baroness's face lit up.

"Yes, I'm glad. I was hoping to hear a little more about you. May I have my daughter join you?"

"Oh, yes, please."

Thank you. ...... please send for the girl."

The baroness motioned to the butler who was standing behind her. The butler bowed lightly and left the dining room. About three minutes later, he returned with a girl who looked about the age of 12 years old and was in the sixth grade.

"This is my daughter Paula. ......, this is Jin and Rhodes. They may be able to answer some of your questions.

The girl tugs at the hem of her skirt and bows in a curtsey.

"My name is Paula Frau Charnedo. Please call me Paula. Please call me Paula.
