After Reinhardt left, Jin interrupted his musings and went to the rubble yard. He thought it would be a nice change of pace and that he would have to make a birthday present for Erza.
He decided to get some usable materials from the broken pieces of the golem.
It would be better to recover all the materials from the broken golem and recycle them, but it is not realistic to recover mithril used for mithril plating, for example, because the amount of mithril recovered is too small for the time and effort required. Therefore, the debris yard is a mountain of rubble.

However, an individual can ignore such efficiency. That is why Jin has come to scavenge for debris. Of course, he has told the debris manager not to do this.
"Well, it's mostly iron or bronze.
That's probably true, since the valuable materials have been recovered by the mobilized mage knights and mages.

But you can still find them if you look for them,
"Oh, this bronze is coated with mithril.
"Yes! A piece of mithril.

And little by little, the mithril piled up.
But it was hard to get enough to make a sword.
"Hey, Jin-kun, what are you doing?

I looked up to see Stearina, a magecraftsman from the Kingdom of Celuloa, standing there.
"Oh, Mr. Stearina.
Are you looking for materials?

Yes, that's right.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Stearina's question was understandable. It was after 5:00 p.m., and it was already dark.

"Oh, I have to make something in a hurry," replied Jin.
Jin answered,
"Well, that's hard work," he said.

Then he said,
"You are a magecraftsman, aren't you? Why don't you just lump everything together and separate the components?
I said.

"I see... ...... that's a good idea."
Jin is impressed. That way is surely a sure thing.
Stearina looked at Jin,

".........you can't do that. How can you do such a thing ......?"
But then she said,

Jin, in full force, instantly turned the debris in front of him into a single piece.
"What?"

"Yeah? What?"
Before Stearina knew what had happened, a mass of copper, iron, zinc, tin, and mithril had formed in front of her.
"...... wind."

Jin looks a little tired, as expected. The total amount of debris in front of him must have been more than a dozen tons. He had to fuse all of it at once and extract each of its components. It is not surprising that they did it in such a short time.
"Oh, oh, oh, do you know what you've done?"
"Yes?"

Jin looked at Stearina, wondering why she was surprised at what he had said.
"I can't believe you did in such a short time what a normal magecraftsman (Magecraftsman) would have to do in a few days. ......"
"Huh?"

Jin, who had taken Stearina's joking remark seriously, regretted what he had done, but it was too late. But then a good idea came to him.
"Excuse me, Mr. Stearina?"
He asked Jin,

"......What is it, Jin?"
Stearina replies with a backward step. Did he think that he would be silenced?
"Here's the seed," said Jin, holding it in his hand.

Jin showed her something in his hand.
It was a stone. It glowed a dark aqua color in the evening light.
"...... could it be an eladrite?"

"Yes. You see, when I caught Dominic, I took it away and forgot about it. I'm going to give it to Mr. Kerichdole after this, but it would be nice to use it for once, wouldn't it?"
He laughed and showed it to me. In fact, I had the eladrite, but I had not used it. But Stearina, who did not know that, was relieved.
"Oh, I didn't know that. I'm so surprised. I thought you were a monster, Jin-kun, who could do such a thing.

Hearing this, Jin breaks out in a cold sweat. At the same time, he wished he could have one Eladrite. Of course, he wanted to fool himself about his power.
"Well, since you made the rubble usable like this, I'm sure they won't say anything about the delay in giving it to you. I think they will be rather pleased."
Stearina seemed completely convinced that she had done what she had just done with the help of El Rado Light.

"So, what is it that you want to make?"
And back to the first question. Jin said,
"It's a dagger. A woman's dagger.

he replies honestly. The woman in front of him is a skilled magecraftsman and might be able to give him some advice.
"Hmm, did someone ask you to do this for me? Oh, is it the platinum blonde lady?"
Jin, who knew that the platinum blonde lady was referring to Elsa, said,

"No, she didn't ask me, but she was interested in daggers before."
At this, Stearina frowned a little with her well-shaped eyebrows,
"Are you thinking of ...... giving it to her as a gift?"

She asked. She was right, so Jin was honest,
"Yes. Actually, I just heard that it's her birthday tomorrow."
Stearina stared at him and then sighed heavily,

"You're so silly.
She then sighed heavily and said to Hitoshi, "You're so silly.
"You don't know how to treat girls because you're always doing magic crafts (magecraft), do you?"

"............"
Not knowing what to say, Jin kept silent for the time being.
"You know, giving a knife as a gift is a sign of . A ring or a necklace means that he wants to bind you. Oh, binding doesn't really mean tying you up, right?"

"Yes, yes."
"Giving you clothes means I want to take them off, and asking you out for dinner means I want to eat you."
It's getting more and more dangerous, so Jin said,

"I understand. So you are saying that a dagger is not a suitable birthday gift?
"Yes. However, it is possible to give it as a gift for self-defense from an inseparable relationship, in other words, from one's immediate family.
Jin was further troubled by this comment.

"Then the dagger should be given to me through Reinhardt, and my real desire is for an accessory or ......."
He thought about it,
"Well, what about a brooch or something?

I ask Stearina. Then she asks him,

Jin thought that might be a decent idea, and decided to make a brooch as well.

"Jin, it's time for dinner.
Then Erza came in. She had been looking for Jin who was not in his room even though it was dinner time.
Oh, is it that time already? Thank you for everything, ...... Stearina-san."

"Oh, it's okay, Jin-kun."
With that, she sent Jin and Erza off. Jin was empty-handed, thinking he would come back for them later.
"It's nice to be ...... young, isn't it?"

They didn't seem to hear him muttering that. However, Reiko, who had been following Jin in stealth, heard them clearly.
"Jin-kun, what were you doing?"
It was a natural question for Erza, but she could not answer honestly,

"Well, I was looking for something useful," she said.
"Don't waste things, that's what Meane always says. Jin-kun, you're good."
Jin was impressed in a strange way.
