The next day, before departing from the town of Delhi, Reinhardt said he wanted to talk to Jin about something.

Then he said,

"Actually, there are ruins to the north of the town of Deryed, called the Keuwan ruins, which date back to around the time of the Magic War. I have never seen them myself.

I have never seen them either. Jin is also interested in ruins from the time of the Great War.

"It's a bit of a detour, but I don't have any official duties anymore. I'm rather interested in them.

Reinhardt agreed with Jin.

"Well, how about you, Erza? Do you want to go home soon?

I asked Erza, and as I expected, she said, "I'm interested, too,

"I'm interested too. I'd like to go there."

Reinhard clapped his hands. Reinhard clapped his hands,

"Okay, it's decided. I'll have to tell the leader of the group.

He left the room.

The carriage leaves the town of Delhi and follows the road to the provincial town of Ulemlin.

There was a guild in Uremlin, but they decided not to release the technology of the vacuum cleaner to the public. I felt that the city was somewhat rough. I will release it after checking with a more trustworthy guild.

After staying overnight, we headed north along a side road. After half a day, we arrived at the town of Koors. There was still some time left, so we went further north and arrived at Yada village in the evening.

This is Yada village.

Reinhardt was the first to get out of Jin's carriage, followed by Jin,

"I heard in the carriage that there is a mine here.

He looked up at the mine to the northwest of the village and said, "I think there are various kinds of gems here.

"I heard that there are various kinds of gemstones here."

The last person to come down was Elsa. She seemed to be interested in gems.

Jin looks around and observes the village. Jin looks around and observes the village.

"They call it a village, but it's pretty lively.

There are enough buildings and people to be considered a town.

Reinhardt answered Jin's question.

"This is not an agricultural village, but a tourist and mining village. Most of the miners are from Uremlin and the tourists are not residents. The original inhabitants seem to live off the innkeepers and shopkeepers."

In other words, it is treated as a village because of its small original population.

"A little more than 20 kilometers northeast of here on a mountain road is the village of Keune. I heard that the ruins of Keewan are located there." Reinhard explained.

Reinhard explained,

"I heard that the village of Keune is really small, so I was told that we should stay here and go there and back.

Reinhardt said that he had heard this information in the town of Delhi.

"Well, let's take it easy today."

Reinhardt looked toward the butler who had preceded him.

"Thank you, Claude."

Claude, the butler, bowed,

"Mr. Reinhardt, I will show you to your lodgings.

So the group re-boarded the carriage and headed for the inn for the night, guided by Claude.

The inn was located in a quiet place on the outskirts of the village. It was a sturdy four-story stone building. All the rooms face the mountain and have a nice view.

The rooms are a little small, but not so small as to be inconvenient. All in all, the inn is of a high standard.

"Oh, you can see the mine from the window?

The windows here had no glass panes. They were board doors, and when they were opened, one could see outside. It has a good view of the mountain where the mine is located.

The sun was just setting behind the mountain where the mine is located.

Dinner consisted of soup with bread, grilled river fish, grilled chicken-like meat, and a salad of wild vegetables.

I was concerned that Elsa did not seem to have much of an appetite. Then he said,

"Elsa, are you sick?

He asked her. Then Elsa said

"I don't like coca-caulk meat.

She said, "I don't like cocarisque meat. Kokalisuk is something like chicken meat, apparently. Then Jin said,

If you don't like it, don't force yourself to eat it. Just tell me and I'll eat it.

With that, he quickly took Elsa's portion on his plate and ate it in three bites.

"Thanks for the ......."

Elsa thanked him, looking down for a moment.

"Well, tomorrow..."

Reinhardt started while sipping his after-dinner tea.

"The innkeepers say the weather is not going to be very good. The day after tomorrow is supposed to be fine. So tomorrow I'm going to take a rest and relax in this village.

The continuous carriage rides are tiring, no matter how comfortable they are.

"I heard there are tunnels for tourists. I hear there are tunnels for tourists, and if you are lucky you can find some gems. You can go to those places, or you can visit a stone processing plant. I hear you can buy them cheaper than usual."

"Hmm. That's fine."

Elsa agrees and we decide to visit the village tomorrow.

"And the day after tomorrow, the weather looks good, so we'd like to go see the ruins, either by wagon or by horse. I heard that the road is quite steep. It will take some time to get there by ordinary horse-drawn carriage.

Because horse-drawn carriages are,

"Then let's take my horse-drawn carriage.

Jin suggests. Reinhardt and Erza have no objection.

It was decided that Jin, Reinhard, Erza, Reiko, and the butler Claude would go.

We may spend a night in the village of Keune, if necessary.

Fortunately, Meone is not so picky these days, so that should not be a problem either.

"Okay, so tomorrow we will visit the village.

That's how it was decided.

Yada village is a village that is made up of tourism and mining. The mountain where the mine is located is a huge granite. Granite is a rock formed when magma solidifies deep underground. During the solidification process, various minerals are separated and crystallized.

They are called pegmatites (megacrystalline granites), and the gases contained in them sometimes create so-called <<> called crystalline cavities.

The crystals of various minerals are contained in these caves, so that the places where the deposits of pegmatites are located near the surface are good mines.

Jin and his group went to visit the mine.

The mines open to the public are old tunnels that have been mined out and are no longer profitable.

However, it is still possible to find rough gemstones if you are lucky, and above all, it is a rare experience to walk through a tunnel that stretches long underground.

It was therefore a favorite pastime of the rich and the aristocracy.

At the entrance of the tourist tunnel.

On this day, in addition to Jin and his group, there was another family, also apparently aristocratic, who had come to see the sights.

They were a middle-aged woman who looked like a mother, a boy who looked a little younger than Elsa, a girl who looked like her younger sister, and an elderly man who looked like a butler.

"Well, well, these are the gentlemen who will be with us today. Please give them my warmest regards. This is the group of Baroness Sekat, assistant to the Lord of Désir.

Thank you for your kind greetings. This is Mr. Reinhardt, diplomat of the Shoro Kingdom.

Claude, the butler who accompanied them, returned the greeting.

There were two people who were to guide the two groups of four and four guests. One is a large, strong young man who also serves as a luggage carrier. The other is a middle-aged small man, who is the actual guide.

The other is a middle-aged small man, and this is the actual guide. Watch your step.

With a slightly accented or rather blunt voice, the middle-aged man led the group into the mine.

It was a little cool and damp inside. The path was a little cool and damp inside, and the rocks protruding from the ground underfoot made it difficult to walk.

The man who led us along the path walked easily. Every now and then he turned his head to see if all eight of us were following him.

The big man was at the end of the line. He checks to see if anyone is late or strays.

A few steps from the entrance, there are light fixtures placed in various places on the walls. They could somehow see their footsteps.

"Even if you get lost, you can get out by following this light.

There was an arrow pointing the way out by the light. If this is written on all the lights, even if we get lost, we should at least be able to head for the exit.

Thinking of this, Jin walked down the middle of the line of eight people.
