The red-haired girl, accompanied by her maid of honor, bowed nervously to Reinhardt and the others,
She bowed nervously to Reinhardt and the others and said, "Haha, no, it's nice to meet you, my name is Beena."
Count Kuzma saw Beena looking so stiff,

"Hey, hey, don't be so nervous. This is my friend Reinhardt. This is Miss Elsa, Reinhard's cousin.

Elsa Randall.
Hello, nice to meet you.
Beena is still a little stiff. Count Kuzma sat Beena down at the same table,

She, Beena, is a magecraftsman I have recently discovered. She is quite talented and has ideas that I like.
"Oh, no, Count, I'm not that good.
Bina blushes and denies it, but Reinhardt is on the surface amiable,

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Bina then turned her head and looked embarrassed,
"...... No, that

"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Reinhardt waits to see what Bina will say next.
"It was ...... developed mostly by a magecraftsman who helped me for a short time. I just helped him put it together.

Hearing this, Reinhardt's opinion of the girl in front of him, Beena, rose a little.
"The magecraftsman who helped you is called ...... Jin?"
Reinhardt said, and Beena's eyes widened, then she leaned forward,

"Jin! You know Jin!"
Reinhardt smiled a little at her enthusiasm,
"Yes, I know him. He's the magecraftsman on the team that won the golem boat competition in Potrock the other day.

Hearing these words, the Count and Bina each said,
"Oh, I see. I thought you might be a magi craftsman when I heard your name, Jin.
"What, what, what? Jin is in such a competition?

It seems that Count Kuzma knew about the competition. Bina, on the other hand, did not.
"Count, why didn't you tell us?
When Bina asked him why he didn't tell her, the Count replied,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought I had told you. Well, forgive me."
Bina cannot say anything more when the Count says so, and she closes her mouth. The Count resumed his conversation with Reinhardt.
"Jin's technique was great, wasn't it?"

"Yes, thanks to him my team finished in second place. "Hey, Elsa..."
Erza was suddenly asked to speak, and she twitched for a moment,
"Hmm. Jin-kun's golem and propulsion system were very innovative.

Erza also mentioned Jin's name, and when Bina heard that she had added
"Jin-kun? Did you say that?"
Bina couldn't help but ask Erza, "Did you say Jin-kun?

"I did. He is my friend. He gave me this ring too."
Elsa said somewhat proudly and smiled, showing me the ring on the middle finger of her right hand.
Bina's heart falters when she sees the ring and he says those words back to her.

"Oh, I see, so that's where you've been since you left here. ......"
Bina leans back in her chair, this time leaning against the backrest and staring at the ceiling.
(......I was worried about you. I didn't even thank her ...... enough. I wonder if we're the kind of people who give ...... rings to each other. ......)

"Hmm? Did you say something?"
"No, no, nothing."
"Well, he was an excellent magecraftsman after all.

Meanwhile, Count Kuzma and Reinhardt continue their conversation.
"I was hoping that he would settle in this country, but he had a little trouble with the other Count..."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"

So Count Kuzma told them in summary what had happened with Count Galana.
Bina, who was involved, looked a little uncomfortable.
Elsa also heard the story,

（Jin-kun, are you kind to all girls?)
I was thinking about it, but I didn't say it out loud.
"I see, Count Galana..."

Reinhard nodded in agreement.
They had met at the welcome party given by the Duke of Bruu the last time they had visited the Blue Lands.
"I don't like him."

Erza also expressed her dislike clearly. Because as soon as she greeted him, he asked her, "Will you be my concubine? >>She asked her if she would like to be his concubine.
Just remembering the rapt look she gave me at that moment sends chills down my spine.
"Well, now that I've moved your workshop to my place, I don't think I can touch you too easily. Besides, he might have his eyes on another woman by now."

I feel sorry for him.
"But you see, most of the mines around here are under Count Galana's control. His influence in the Blue Lands is not to be underestimated."
"Ah, there are some good quality magi-crystal mines there, aren't there?

The mountains to the west of the Blue Lands are Count Galana's domain and his mines are located there. Count Kuzma's domain is in the eastern countryside.
And the plains surrounding the Blue Lands were under the direct control of the Duke of Bruu.
"Well, I don't have any more official business this time, so I guess we won't have to meet."

That was a mistake, but there was no way Reinhardt could have known that.
"You said you were just going back to your homeland at leisure, how long can you stay here?"
Count Kuzma asked as he popped a Persica berry into his mouth.

"Well, I don't know. One of the carriages is broken, so we have to get another one, and I would like to improve it a little.
Reinhard replied,
In that case I can get the materials for you. The workshop is at ...... if you need it."

"Oh, um, if you don't mind, you can use my place!
Bina said with great energy.
I wanted to hear more about Jin's story, and I also wanted to see how a magecraftsman from another country worked.

"Yes, I might ask you to help me then."
Reinhardt replies lightly. Then he mentioned his plans for the next day.
"Well, I'm going out for a bit tomorrow.

"Well, do you have somewhere in mind?"
"Oh, actually, Erza and I have been invited to Jin's house.
"What?

Bina screamed out in a crazy voice when she heard that. Then she added
"Oh, um, Jin is here?
She leaned forward again and asked Reinhardt. Even Reinhardt was a bit taken aback,

"Ah, yes. He and I have been traveling together since Borgia, the capital of the Kingdom of Elias.
"I was in the same carriage with Jin-kun from Potrock.
Elsa interjected from the side.

"Oh ...... is that so? ......"
A slight look of frustration or sadness or some other complex emotion flashed across Bina's face, but it quickly disappeared,
"Please! Please let me join you!

Bina said as she stood up and bowed 90 degrees at the waist.
Reinhard thought. It seems certain that this Beena is an acquaintance of Jin.
If so, it would be no problem at all to take her to meet Jin. After that, he should decide whether or not to invite her to his house.

He concluded,
"Well, I'm meeting Jin tomorrow. It would not be a problem if we go there together. After that, you can ask Jin directly.
He told her. Bina's face lit up,

"Thank you very much!
and bowed 90 degrees again.
Erza looked at Bina with an indescribable expression on her face. Reinhardt did not notice it.
