In the end, we were only greeted, and further discussion was to wait until we entered the inn,

We have arranged a place for you to stay," said Rymer Gebhardtov.

We have arranged a place for you to stay," said Rymer Gebhardtov.

Jin, Reinhard, and Matthäus discussed with each other what to do, and finally decided to accept his kind offer.

The lodging arranged by Reimer was the residence of Salut Berlusi, the mayor of Amberg.

The town of Amberg is mostly one-story buildings, but the mayor's house is a three-story building in the center of the town, glaring at the whole town.

If anything should happen, we will know immediately," he said as he greeted Jin and the others.

were the words of the mayor who welcomed Jin and the others.

Indeed, the room served well as a watchtower.

Incidentally, Jin's room was on the second floor and had a good view. Jin was in a private room with Reiko, Reinhard with Claude, and Matheus with a liaison officer.

After putting down their luggage, they were invited to tea by the mayor. It was after three o'clock.

Both Jin and Reinhardt accepted the invitation because they were thirsty.

As expected, Reimer Gebhardtof was also present.

Fragrant tea was served, and when everyone was seated, the mayor stood up.

"First of all, welcome to the town of Amberg. Mr. Reinhardt."

Salute bowed his head. When he looked up, he had silver hair and blue eyes. He was about 50 years old. He was thin and tall.

"And you must be the Honorary Magical Craftsman of the Kingdom of Egelea, Mister Jin? Welcome, welcome."

He said this more as a confirmation than a question. After greeting Matheus, the mayor took his seat and turned to Jin again,

"Is that your automaton standing behind me? It's a wonderful piece of work, isn't it?

He looked at Reiko intently and said, "It's a wonderful piece of work, isn't it?

"If I ask you, could you make the same automata for me?

Jin was surprised at this. He had received many requests in the past, but this was the first time he had been asked to make an automata just like Reiko's. At a loss for an answer, Jin thought about it.

As Jin pondered over his answer, Reimer spoke up first.

"Mayor, please talk about such things later. Jin, the reason I have come here today is to ask you to become an honorary member of the Shoro Imperial Guild of Magi Engineers.

Reinhardt cheered when he heard this.

"Oh, that's good! Jin, honorary membership in a guild is only given to those who have made a substantial contribution, and I don't know of any precedent for it to be given to someone from outside the country!

He was as pleased as if it were his own.

Raimer Gebhardtov, head of the Guild of Magi Engineers in Amberg, presented a golden card.

It was a thin metal card, about two times larger than a business card.

We would like to make a big deal out of it. We are in the middle of our journey and the news from Coates-Laudite in Hatata said that you don't like ostentatious things, so we have chosen this form.

"Yes."

Jin had no reason to refuse, and his title of Honorary Magical Craftsman of the Kingdom of Egelea was more useful than he had expected in the Kingdom of Klein, so he gladly accepted the offer.

I heard that Reinhardt was also an honorary member. I heard that with this, the Shoro Imperial Guild of Magi Engineers would give him various benefits, such as priority in receiving valuable materials.

"I am relieved to hear that you accepted. By the way, Mr. Jin, you have made a pump in Hatta, could you make something here in Amberg?

Reimer Gebhardtov's tone was neither serious nor joking.

"What! You told me to wait until later, and now you're doing it?

"What are you talking about? I was talking about useful tools. I was talking about useful tools, not your hobby.

It's up to you whether you want to accept it or not, Jin-dono. It's not fair to ask him that way!

Jin was astonished and Reinhardt laughed. Matheus was drinking the tea offered to him with an expression that said, "Let him do whatever he wants.

Jin was really thinking about it and looked at Reinhardt,

"I think a vacuum cleaner would be useful," he said.

Reinhardt agreed. Hearing this, Reinhardt agreed.

"Oh, that! We can transfer the technology to this mutual aid guild!

Reimer heard that and said,

"What is that? What do you mean by that?

Reimer wonders. Jin decided to sell the vacuum cleaner he had made in cooperation with Reinhardt to the guild.

The prototype vacuum cleaner was still in Reinhardt's carriage.

"Oh, that's great Reinhardt!

Jin praised him, "It's great that you brought it here without throwing it away or disposing of it.

"Haha, you don't want to destroy or throw away something you can use, do you?

Reinhardt laughed.

Jin then demonstrates the usefulness of the vacuum cleaner by running the prototype. I thought that since it is dry and dusty around here, such a vacuum cleaner would be useful," he said.

"I made this on a trip, so it's not as good as I would have liked. Especially the filter ...... bag that collects the dust, if it is made of a finer and stronger cloth, and if the wind magic that sucks in is more powerful ......"

Reimer understood quickly because he had the actual product.

"Ummm, I didn't know such a magic tool existed ......! Master Reinhardt, Master Jin, will you sell this process to our mutual aid guild?"

Jin and Reinhard nodded.

"Hmmm, how much do you think ...... is reasonable for this much magic equipment?"

Reimer, the head of the guild, asked a young man who was watching behind him.

"Well, in my opinion, about 200,000 dollars.

About 2 million yen, a fine line. Selling to a guild is the same as saying that you can make and sell the same thing.

The method of making a pump sold for one million dollars.

Considering the added value and the value of use, it may be reasonable to say that a pump related to the lifeline of water costs one million dollars and a vacuum cleaner, a useful tool, costs 200,000 dollars.

When Jin was about to say that this was acceptable, Reinhardt started to speak first.

"I would like to hear one more comment. I'm not trying to be pushy. I'm just saying that this technology has applications.

"Applications?"

"Applications?" "Yes. It is understandable if you haven't noticed it yet today, but there are many uses for this idea of . For example, it can be used simply as a magical tool to create wind, and when it's hot, it can be used to create ......"

"Oh, I see!"

Reimer's palms met and he looked convinced.

"So that's .......4 million dollars. How about that?

Reinhard thought for a moment,

"Well, that's good, isn't it?"

Reinhardt thought for a moment and looked back at Jin. Jin had no reason to object, so he nodded.

"Well then, I'll sell it to you for 400,000 dollars.

And so the deal was done.

The young man ran to the Guild of Magi Engineers to get the money.

The cold tea was put down and a fresh pot of tea was brewed.

Jin took a sip of the tea, thinking that he would drink it this time since he had not drunk it before. It tasted completely like green tea. Jin, who had a cat's tongue, drank it all, little by little, but he seemed to enjoy it.

The mayor looked at Jin,

"Well then, Jin-dono, how about my previous request?

The mayor looked at Jin and asked again, "Then, Mr. Jin, what about my previous request?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


"I don't think it can be exactly the same, because of the material involved," he said.

"Oh, then, will you make it for me?

The mayor's voice came with a pleased expression on his face.

"Yes, but may I ask for what purpose you want an automata?

The mayor, Salut Berlusi, nodded broadly.

Of course I do. I want to play with my grandchildren.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


You have grandchildren?

Yes. Yes. Well, he is sickly and hardly goes outside. That's why he has no friends and is lonely. I thought that my grandchildren would love your automata.

"I see, I see."

Jin was almost ready to accept the job as a playmate for a small child.

Originally, he had no intention of making her as good as Reiko. It would be enough to have a performance commensurate with its appearance. Then, ordinary materials would suffice.

"If you mean a playmate for your grandchildren, the sooner the better, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Yes, if you send them to me from where you've been traveling.

What?

What?

The two looked at each other with question marks.

Jin and the mayor did not understand what the other party was trying to say.
