Jin and Reiko went out of the warp gate into a cave. When they got out of the cave, they found themselves surrounded by a deep forest, just as Reiko said.

"Hmm, is this a little south of Horai Island?　No, it might be because of the shift in longitude.

"Father, what do you mean?"

"Oh. I judged it by looking at the position of the sun.

Jin and the others left Horai Island at around 3 pm. It looks like it was just before noon here. It is natural that the sun's altitude is different.

"Then, Horai Island and this place are off by less than 45 degrees in longitude. If we can determine the distance, we can also determine the size of this world.

"?"

Jin calculated the angles and directions using his unique measurement skills as a Magecraft Meister, but Reiko didn't seem to understand.

It seemed that this knowledge was not transferred to Reiko, but Jin said that he would explain it later, since there was no time, and walked into the forest.

"Well, is there a voice calling for help from somewhere?"

"No, I don't hear any such voice.

"......"

Jin was at a loss for an answer when he was answered honestly.

"Well, okay, so which way is Blue Land?"

Yes, this way.

Reiko takes the lead and shows Jin around. The underbrush is short and easy to walk through.

"Are there any wild animals?"

Hitoshi asks as they walk,

"Yes. As far as I can tell, there are only small herbivorous animals. There are no magical beasts either.

"Well, that's a relief."

Yes. I would protect your father even if I had to.

Reiko can easily take on a whole country now, so most things are not a threat to her.

After walking for about 30 minutes, the forest broke off and we came to a meadow. In the distance, I could see the castle walls.

That is the Blue Lands.

"I see. A fortified city.

The fortified city surrounded by stone walls, that was Blueland.

After walking for another 20 minutes, we approached the city walls of Blueland. The area around the walls was also lined with stalls and crowded with people.

"Do I need anything to enter the city?

"I'm sorry, but I didn't go inside last time, so I don't know.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, I didn't go inside last time. Well, for now, let's look at the stalls and gather information. Maybe we can find out the level of tools and the currency.

"Yes."

So the two of them decided to look around the stalls together.

We learned a few things.

First, language. It was the same as the one Jin had been speaking in the village of Kaina.

Second, the currency. It was the same in Thor.

This kingdom is called the Kingdom of Egelea, and like the Kingdom of Klein, to which the village of Kaina belongs, it is one of a small group of countries.

And this place, Blueland, is called the economic center of the Kingdom of Egelea.

As I was looking around the place, I heard something like this.

"Oh, a magic crystal?　No, it's a Magi Stone."

There was a store selling various colored Magi Stones.

"Not very big ones. ...... Geez, a thousand dollars a piece!

It cost about 10,000 yen.

"A thousand dollars for such a small one?

"Oh, brother, you want to buy one?"

The stall owner said to me,

"No, I'm afraid I don't have it with me.

Jin ran away saying, "No, I'm afraid I don't have it with me.

"But a magic stone like that costs 1,000 dollars. I wonder how much this Magi Crystal would be worth.

The red Magi Crystal that Jin had brought for money. It is said that the value of a magi stone and a magi crystal is 10 to 20 times higher than each other in the market.

"I can't sell it easily ......."

I didn't want to be too obvious.

"Reiko, was the Magi Stone in the laboratory?"

"I believe it was discarded for lack of use, so you should be able to find it if you go to the place where it was discarded.

"Ah, I think the market will be confused if we sell them without a plan.

Even today on Earth, there are rumors about the existence of a diamond syndicate. Jin is a Magecraft Meister, a magical engineer, and rough trade is not his specialty.

"I guess I'll sell them next time.

For now, he decided to give up trying to get money and just look around.

"I don't see many stalls selling magic tools.

So far, he had not seen any such stalls. Reiko told Jin who tried to look for more,

"Your father is the only Magecraft Meister in the world, so he doesn't need any reference, does he?"

"Oh, thank you. But you never know where you might find an interesting idea. I'd like to be humble and not conceited because I'm a Magecraft Meister."

"If your father says so."

Reiko was always devoted to Jin.

Then, at the edge of a row of stalls, she found a store selling magic tools.

"It's kind of crappy," she said.

Jin muttered when he saw the items for sale. That was his honest impression,

"What?

It was a small whisper, but it seemed to be heard, and the girl who seemed to be the store keeper became agitated.

"Are you trying to stink up our goods?"

The girl who stood up and glared at Jin was about 15 or 6. She was a little shorter than Jin, with wavy, flaming red hair and red eyes. Her face is a little severe, but 9 out of 10 people would say she is a beautiful girl.

"Say something!"

Jin was thinking of what to say when he realized that he had been overheard in his careless muttering.

Before he could open his mouth, Reiko responded.

"I was just giving you my honest opinion. What's wrong with telling the truth?

She was adding fuel to the fire.

"It's bad!　You'll make people less likely to buy!"

"From what I've seen, it doesn't seem to have sold. I don't think there will be any decrease since there aren't any to begin with, do you?

"No, you're wrong!

You should stop shifting the blame to others without facing the reality.

You said what you wanted to say!

No, I didn't want to, but I had to explain it to you.

You ......!

The red-haired girl took a stick from somewhere and swung it at Reiko.
