The walls of nearby buildings were gutted and some people were injured by the debris. Some people were burned by the debris.
"What have you done to the city? Elsa, look after the injured.
"Yes."

Jin ran to the building. There was a large crack in the building, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

Jin repairs it with engineering magic.

For the time being, it seems that the wall is no longer in danger of collapsing.
"Oh, thank you very much. ......"
Erza seems to have taken care of most of the wounded as well.

After taking a breath, Erza looked again in the direction where the magic had come from.
There was a magic knight there. Several knights who came from the same direction are checking for suspicious persons in the vicinity.
"Captain!"

Gloria shouted, ran up to him and glared at him a little. The mage knight looked at Gloria in a bad way.
"I'm sorry. I think I used a little too much power.
"Not just a little! The people have been affected! You're always, always, always! You should know how to control it!

But if we don't do something, the damage will be much worse. ......
"I understand that! That's why I'm asking you to be more lenient!"
A closer look at the person being chided by Gloria reveals a woman who looks to be no more than 30 years old and is only slightly shorter than Gloria. Her hair is also cut very short and is a bright red.

Her eyes are also a light brown color that looks like red, giving the impression at a glance that she is good at fire magic. However, the current theory is that there is no correlation between the color of her hair and her specialties.
The breastplate is large and prominent, the kind of volume that Reinhardt would have liked.
"Gloria, there you are! How's the damage?"

A carriage was parked behind the woman called "captain" and such a voice called out from inside. Gloria was startled and straightened her posture when she saw the owner of the voice.
Yes, there is some damage to the building, but it seems that emergency repairs have been made. The human casualties were minor, but several people were injured by the aftermath of the Flame Lance. However, they have been healed with the help of those who can use healing magic.
Gloria answered with an erect and steadfast stance, and then pointed to Erza who was treating the injured in the back.

"Okay. We will compensate the residents well enough later. I will give Jessica a stern talking-to. But right now we have to clean up the mess first. Jessica, you're in charge.
"Yes, sir!"
The woman whom Gloria had called the captain responded with a salute as she received the order from inside the carriage.

Meanwhile, female knights who seem to be under her command capture three suspicious men around the wagons. These three men had apparently brought the wagon to this location.
Although I say "wagon", the horses were not hitched to the wagon, and they pulled it by themselves.
"Take them back for questioning. "We'll bring them back for questioning and have them come back later for your two golems.

Jessica then walked up to Jin.
"Thanks to your efforts, we were able to capture the two golems," she said, "and I thank you. My name is Jessica Norton, the captain of the Kingsguard female knight corps of the Kingdom of Klein.
My name is Jin, Honorary Magical Craftsman of the Kingdom of Egelea.

"Ah, a guest from the Kingdom of Egelea. Is the woman who is treating you over there one of yours?"
He looked at Elsa.
"Yes, she is my sister. My name is Elsa. This is my sister Hannah.

Jin then introduced Elsa and Hannah.
"Well, let's thank your sister as well. So, there is a man in the carriage over there who would like to thank you personally. Will you come with me?
Since the captain of the Kingsguard female knight corps said "that gentleman," I should have a pretty good idea what he meant.

Yes, I understand.
Jin agreed.
"Well, I'm sorry. You and your sisters should come with us. ...... Gloria was off duty today. Enjoy the rest of your vacation. And I'll see you tomorrow at the palace.

"Yes, sir."
Gloria glanced at Jin and the others as her boss said this,
Then Jin-dono, Erza-dono, and Hannah-dono. I apologize for the rush at the end, but I must leave now. If you ever need anything else, please do not hesitate to ask for my house.

With that, he bowed lightly and left.
"Come on, Mr. Jin, this way," Jessica Norton said.
Jessica Norton beckoned Jin and the others and led them to a carriage parked at the end of the central street. As they approached, they saw that it was a very handsome structure.

He opened the door of the carriage and said, "I can't tell you who he is, but let me just tell you that he is a nobleman of this country.
With these words he opens the door of the carriage,
"Mr. Rhys, I have brought you here."

A cheerful voice came from inside.

Despite Jessica's concern, the princess was there, proudly announcing herself.

Inside the carriage, Jessica sighs. Beside her is the dark brown-haired, blue-eyed princess.
She was dressed in elegant clothes without frills or other unnecessary decorations, which might have been her going-out clothes, but she seemed to have been born in this way.
In front of him sat Jin, Elsa, Hannah, and Reiko.

"Don't sigh so much. You will lose your happiness.
Her Royal Highness says to Jessica, "Who do you think is to blame?
"Whose fault is it that you think it is?

The princess smiled at the tired voice of Jessica and said, "Who do you think is to blame?
"It's not in the nature of royalty to cheat or hide things!"
And then Jessica sighs for the second time.

"...... huh?"
"Well, I'm not going to bother you with Jessica, who's still in a stupor, but I did call you all the way up here to thank you, for one thing."
The princess began. She looked to be only 12 or 3 years old, but her speech was mature, probably due to her royal upbringing.

"Are you ......?"
Jin opens his mouth as the representative.
Yes. I saw your automata protect the fallen child, and you incapacitated two golems by dropping them into a pit. And the bigger sister was treating the wounded.

The princess pointed to her right eye.
"Master Rhys! Nothing more!"
Jessica hurried to warn the princess about her uninhibitedness in speaking out about matters that should be kept secret, but the princess didn't seem to be offended.

"Is it a magic eye ......?
A demon eye is, as the name implies, an eye with magical powers. It is very rare and is said to be one in tens of thousands.
The effects of the eye vary, some are clairvoyant, some can see through disguises and mimicry to reveal the truth, and some are enchanting, like the eye of Elena, the Princess of Golden Destruction.

And there are also those that can see far away, like the princesses.
"I just slipped out of the castle to check on the town. There was some commotion and I rushed over to see what you guys were up to."
Jin thought that the princess was a disappointing type when she said that she had escaped from the castle, even though she seemed to be talking about something honorable.

Her face is well-defined, not necessarily because she is royalty, and her eyes are clear with a slight upturned look that shows her winning spirit. Her eyes are clear and slightly upturned, with a hint of elegance, but only in her gestures is there a sense of mischievousness.
She said, "Now that you have given me your name, I would like to hear your names too.
Jin and the others rush to tell their names.

"Oh, I beg your pardon. My name is Jin. This is my sister Elsa, and this is my sister Hannah. And this is Reiko.
I'm Elsa.
I'm Hannah!

Elsa stood up and gave a short bow, pinching the hem of her skirt. Hannah greeted her cheerfully. Reiko remained expressionless.
"Oh, I see, you're Jin, aren't you? You are the Honorary Magical Craftsman of the Kingdom of Egelea, aren't you? That is the second reason why I have summoned you.
After a pause, Princess Rieschen begins to speak, this time in a rather faltering tone.

"The third prince of the Kingdom of Egelea is called Ernesto-sama ....... Do you know him? Tell me if you know him. What kind of man is he?"
The princess asked with a slight blush on her cheeks. Jin thinks, but answers her.
Yes, she just turned thirteen years old, I think.

"Hmmm, she is one year older than me.
She's quite a clever girl, and she likes golems.

He's also very considerate of those under his command.
You're very kind.
"Your Highness, perhaps a marriage proposal?"

"Yes, yes. ...... what are you talking about!"
The princess nodded halfway in response to Jin's question, then turned bright red and panicked. Her appearance is appropriate for her age.
"No, it's not surprising that there are marriages between royal families, and she wants to know about the princes of distant countries.

He is a man with good intuition in a strange way.
"Well, well, well. For the moment, I am only making an inquiry.
The princess answers with a downcast look on her face. She is kind of cute.

"I think she is a good person. But I don't know about the relationship between a man and a woman.
The princess nodded as Jin finished.
"Well, yes. You have been very helpful. I thank you. ...... And last but not least, I have an automaton that I would like you to fix.
