"What?　I didn't hear that!"

Najaz Khan, a criminal investigator, is shouting outside the door of the reception room to which Jin-D and the others are being ushered.

"You just heard that, didn't you?"

And explaining to her is his boss, Abel Rossi, head of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"And after this job, you're out of the Intelligence Directorate."

"You're fired?

I can hear you crying through the door.

"You're fired, but you're next in line for a job."

What's that?

What's that? - Protecting dignitaries. You'll be in charge of protecting state guests and visitors. You'll be assigned to the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.

Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications have a Foreign Affairs Bureau?

"Yes, we do. It's the MIC's role to deal with foreign dignitaries in Japan.

huh?

So you'll be in charge of protecting Sir Jin Nido and his entourage for the time being.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

"......"

On Horai Island, Jin and Erza looked at each other after hearing the exchange in the corridor.

"Well, she's not the right person to be a secret agent."

"That's right."

He is too honest or simple-minded at heart.

He may be competent and enthusiastic, but his direction is a little off.

The boss seemed to understand this.

I was not sure if he was right or wrong.

"So, I have been asked to take care of you all during your stay.

"Yes, yes.

Still, when properly dressed, her semi-long blonde hair and blue eyes make her a beauty.

The meal will be served in a few minutes. After that, after a short break, the Minister of Magic will come to greet you. ......"

Najas explains the schedule. He explains the schedule to us, though he is looking at a note in his hand.

Lunch was served in the style of the Shoro Empire.

I guess they took into account the fact that Jin and the others were from the Shoro Kingdom.

"It's a well-balanced dish, isn't it?"

"Hmm..."

Unfortunately, Jin D. and Elsa D. cannot taste it, but they check the balance of the seasoning with their mouth sensors and judge that it is quite a good dish.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

On Horai Island, Jin and Erza are examining the information sent by the doppelganger.

"The rice is cooked properly.

The rice was cooked well, without being too soft or having a core.

The miso soup also has a good broth.

It seemed that the soup was made with a modest amount of dried bonito flakes.

The grilled fish was cooked just right, and the salad was made with fresh vegetables.

<

Thank you very much for the food.

"Thank you very much for the food, it was very delicious.

Thank you very much.

Najas was taking the meal with her, saying.

"Uh, what kind of tea would you like?"

Koohe said they could choose from green tea, black tea, kaina tea, buckwheat tea, hojicha (roasted green tea), or mugi-cha (barley tea), so Jin D. and Elsa D. chose hojicha.

"Me too."

Najas also seemed to choose the same tea.

Then they chat with each other over a cup of tea.

I'm the fourth daughter of the Khan family.

"Uh-huh."

Jin D. is a little taken aback when she suddenly starts telling him about her life.

"Originally, I couldn't take over the family, so I thought I would serve the country by working at the royal castle.

"......"

"I entered the Intelligence Bureau after an aptitude test, but my personality was not suited to the job. ......"

Indeed, Jin and his colleagues think that it is either foolishly honest or open ...... to tell such a story to their guests.

"The other day, I was sent to investigate a black market gambling operation in the town of Rolo-on, and FR-028 did more than half of the research.... ..."

Not knowing what to say back, Jin D. and Elsa D. both decided to listen to Najas' story in silence.

"I was transferred from the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications to the Diplomatic Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications a short while ago because I was not suited for the job.

Jin D kept sending Najas's lines to Jin on Horai Island, thinking that the right person for the job might be in the right place at the right time.

And here.

"...... Hmmm... I think Najas-san is more suited to a certain profession.

Elsa D. spoke up.

"What?"

"From what I've seen, you've got the makings of healing magic."

"What?"

Elsa D had sensed that Najas' magic power was suited for with her unique sensing ability as an <.

"In the first place, it is said that a spectrum of magical power suitable for healing is the one with a flat peak, not a prominent one.

Apparently, this is what Erza has learned over the past 400 years.

"I have healing magic?"

"Yes. I think you can become a first-rate healer after two or three years of study under a proper teacher.

"Oh, that's a very interesting story.

Just then the door opened and in came the Minister of Magic of the Kingdom of Franz.

I knocked, but there was no answer.

"Thank you very much, I beg your pardon."

Jin D apologized, saying that he had been absorbed in the conversation.

"So, about what you were saying earlier..."

The Minister of Magic suddenly wanted to ask about the magic spectrum,

"Sir, first of all, please say hello to ......"

Najas interrupted him.

"Oh, yes. Excuse me. My name is Jonas Tigrina, Minister of Magic of the Kingdom of Franz."

I'm Jin Nido. This is my wife Elsa.

The second Magecraft Meister and his wife.

Yes. Yes. I call myself that in honor of them.

This was an excuse I came up with recently.

We decided to say that we are the second generation of the family to use the same name as Mr. and Mrs. Meister.

This way, we can call each other by our names without hesitation when we go out.

"......, once again, Mister Gin, Mister Erza. Is it true that Najas has a talent for ?"
