Jin D returned to the village of Saichi, where the old lord was piloting the ship.

In other words, he knew that the village head was brainwashed and that Artoo Elbein was a spy of the Duchy of Jagus.

Moreover, Artoo has sworn allegiance to the Duchy of Jags, not by brainwashing magic, but by education.

"Mr. Mayor, I'm back."

Jin D also calls out.

"Oh, Mr. Jin, how did it go?

"Yes, the channel was about 25 kilometers long, so we built 100 bridges every 250 meters. We built 100 bridges every 250 meters.

It was a quick job because 100 only needed to build one bridge, Jin said.

"......Yes, that's right. ......Ah, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Undersecretary."

"............No, I wasn't physically tired,............."

Nahams Marrow, the Undersecretary of Technology, implied that he was mentally tired.

Incidentally, Reiko is silently following Jin D.

It seems that her attitude would be different if it were not Jin himself.

"Oh, yes, this is peddler Alto Elbein. He came here today from Crosus.

"Oh, I see. I am Jin Nido. I am the current generation of Magecraft Meisters.

I am Nahumus Mallo, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Technology of the Principality of Norway.

My name is Alt Elvine, peddler.

After exchanging brief greetings, the chief invited everyone to sit down.

"Oh, this tea was given to me by Mr. Alt.

The chief offered the tea.

"Oh, is that so? ...... mmm, it smells good."

Nahams Marrow seemed to be a tea lover and drank the tea brought by Alto with great relish.

Jin D also took a sip of the tea and immediately recognized it as the composition of the tea that the <> is dealing with.

（I see, if you sell it at a low price with this quality, customers will like it.)

However, it can also be judged that it would not be profitable.

（<<

But if this is the only time you are going to turn into a peddler, I can understand, Mr. Mere Old Man.

（But even if you take that into account, you will not be able to reach the first class and a half. (<

<>, when considered as , are fully integrated into their respective areas, and some of them are so profitable that they do not even need them.

"That's a nice tea. How much do you sell this for?"

The way he answers this question may change his opinion of Alto.

"Yes, this tea is actually imported from the East, not from within the principality. So we sell it to attract customers at a loss.

I see," thought the old man who was piloting Jin D. He raised his evaluation of Alto one step.

"A product to attract customers. And you make a profit on the other products.

"That's what you mean."

This was not a bad move for a merchant, so the "Mere Old Man" had to give him a passing grade.

()

And .......

"Jin-sama, actually, you gave me some of your pepper, do you have any good use for it?

the village head asks Jin D.

"Yes. ......"

Jin D thought about it for a while.

"The best things to eat with salt and pepper would be ...... meats. ......Oh, and also, cabbage is surprisingly tasty if you fry it with salt and pepper."

In short, many dishes taste better with a little pepper added to the saltiness.

"Oh, I think pasta is good, too.

"I see, I'm glad to hear that. Thank you very much.

"No problem."

Taking his advice, the village head said he would try using salt and pepper for dinner tonight.

He said he would try to use salt and pepper for dinner tonight.

And although it was still light outside, Jin D., Nahams Marrow, and Alto Elbein decided to go to the public bathhouse.

The villagers were still working as stray hands, so the bathhouse was reserved for them.

"So this is what it looks like inside.

It looks like a typical changing room in a hot spring resort.

There are no lockers, but rather baskets in which one puts one's undressed clothes.

We do not bring in valuables, and so far we have not had any troubles such as a mistake or theft.

However, when Jin and Jin D enter the bathtub, the old man is watching them with a <, so they do not have to worry about anything.

Jin D explained to Alto that he had to pour hot water over himself and wash himself before getting into the bathtub.

"I see, so as not to contaminate the water as much as possible.

"That's what I mean."

After washing his body with Rita's fruit, he relaxed and soaked himself in the hot water.

"Ah, it's nice hot water."

At this moment, Jin D was not in control of the old man, but Jin himself. Of course, it was to check the comfort of the bath.

"...... is very nice, Jin-san, this is very nice."

Alto also seemed to feel the comfort of the bath.

"It's indescribably comfortable.

"Isn't it?　After a hot and sweaty day, taking a bath like this relaxes the body.

"Of course it does."

This is only possible if there is plenty of water.

At this point, Alt-Elbein bit the bullet.

"Speaking of which, why do you have hot water like this in your village?"

"We dug a well to get water. We dug a well to get water.

"Ha ha ha ...... Jin-san was a , wasn't he?"

Nahams Marrow interrupted.

"That's right!　You're amazing, Jin-sama!　Even today. ......"

Nahams Marrow, still excited, mentioned Jin's (Jin D) performance that day.

"No, that's what Golem did."

Jin D. was modest,

"No, no, no, it was Jin-dono who made the golem!

He refuses to budge.

(......That golem is that one we saw the other day? ......I see, so it's a construction golem.)

) Alt-Elbein concluded so.

After that, Nahams Marrow continued to talk about Jin's greatness, but Alt-Elbein only half-listened to him.

(I'll refer to it, but I still need to see it for myself.)

After enjoying the bath, the three of them walked slowly back to the village headman's house in the cool of the evening.

On the way, Reiko, who had been following them silently all the way, came to the village headman's house,

"...... there are children playing in the reservoir.

Jin D heard this and started to say "There are children playing in the pond.

Hearing this, Jin D said,

"Oh, I see......... it's dangerous, so I'll build a fence around it."

He muttered to himself and headed for the pond.

"Sorry, that's why I'm going to take a short detour.

He said to Alto Ervine and Nahams Marrow, and they said they would follow him.

"I might be able to help you.

said Nahams Marrow.

And what about Alto Elbein?

(Now I will be able to see with my own eyes the power of the "Magecraft Meister," a magical engineer.)

(Now I'll be able to see with my own eyes what the <> is capable of).
