Magi Craft Meister

chairs, and fixed closets, all with an antiquated design.

Because the designs were those that were popular during Jin’s predecessor’s era, they were without doubt actual (fake) antiques.

Three of those rooms were for guests, and the final room was the waiting room of the golem maids.
Near the guest rooms there was also a toilet.

The third floor was more of an attic, and was used as a storeroom.

There were dozens of copies of common grimoires from Jin’s predecessor’s times, and robes that looked like those of a very old-fashioned magus lying around.

Parts of broken Magi Tools from Hourai Island had also been brought.
Only parts that didn’t seem to have any use were selected though.

“Mm-hmm, even to me it seems like a house where a magus has lived since the olden days.”,

Jin admired.

“Next is the outside.
A tentative outline for a map has been painted on the wall.”

Jin didn’t notice it in the entrance hall last time.

“Let me see.
Oh, is this it?”

Jin could intuit that Kunlun Island was about half the size of Ooshima of the Izu Seven.
That was plenty for people to live on.
The coastline was almost circular.

In the middle was the Kunlun Mountain, and the mansion was located at the southern foot of the mountain.

“The east and north sides of the island are forests.
The west side is grass-covered wilderness.
The south side is wetlands, with some grasslands and sparse woods.”

“In that case, have you been able to mine the west side for resources and such?”

“Yes.
Land units from 80 to 100 have assisted in excavating several mining pits, and are currently extracting minerals.”

The arrangements were fairly good.

“Alright, I’ll leave the guiding of the guests to you two.
I’ll be relying on you then.”

“Understood.”

“Has it been three months since then?”

Meanwhile, Reinhardt and Elsa had arrived at a friend’s house in Blue Land.

“Indeed, something like that.
When we departed for Elias Kingdom it was around the end of last year.”

“Since we last met, even Miss Elsa became prettier.”

“No need for flattery.”

“No, it’s not flattery.
She seems somehow more adultlike, or should I say profound.”

“Compliments won’t get you anywhere.”

The friend was Earl Kuzuma.

They both spoke to each other informally.
Because they were close in age with each other and lived in the same house, they’ve been friends since two years ago when Reinhardt became a diplomat and first arrived at Blue Land.

“You can take it easy now, right?”

“I guess so.
Now that all the official business is done, I can return to my homeland at leisure.”

A lady attendant brought in some fruit.

“Oh, it’s here.
Try some of this fruit.”,

The Earl said and recommended the plate of Pelshkas.

Reinhardt and Elsa both had a mouthful and were astonished.

“Oh, it’s cold and good!”

“Delicious.”

Earl Kuzuma responded with pride,

“Right? The fruit’s exceptional when it’s been moderately cooled with a refrigerator.”

Reinhardt reacted to that word, ‘refrigerator’.

“What? A refrigerator, you say?”

“That’s right, it’s a Magi Tool I obtained after you departed from here.
It’s barely spread anywhere else apart from Blue Land.”

“A while ago, I saw a single one in Bolgia.”

“Huh, is that so.
It must’ve been brought there by a quick-witted merchant.”

Earl Kuzuma then smiled impishly and said,

“As a matter of fact, I know the Magi Craftsman who made that refrigerator.”

Reinhardt was surprised.
After all, in Elias Kingdom’s capital Borgia, in a Magi Tool shop Jin had said he made the refrigerator himself.
He then said,

“Oh, I’d like to meet them.”

“I thought you’d say that.
You’re a Magi Craftsman too, after all.
Hey, invite her here.”,

The Earl said and the lady attendand next to him left to summon the Magi Craftsman.

In his inmost heart, Reinhardt was looking towards to finding out what kind of a person would come.

He hadn’t known Jin for even a month, but already understood his nature and talent.

If that Jin said he made something himself, then those words were true, and he’d soon find out just what kind of a swindler this Magi Craftsman would turn out to be.

For Jin’s honor he’d expose them, is what Reinhardt’s secret motive was.
