They would stay in Lindau on May 10 and in Fonde on May 11.
The journey was generally peaceful, and Reinhardt was enjoying his soon-to-be-ended trip.
On the morning of May 11, Jin asked to be left alone in the carriage (with Reiko, of course) for a limited time, and flew to the village of Kaina.

"Oh, it's a castle. ......"
Jin either knew it or wanted to build it, as he didn't make any further inquiries.

Jin's castle was built near the Erme River. It is approximately 30 meters high. It is the tallest building in the village of Kayna.
However, since the castle is located on a lowland by the river, it is only a little higher than the highest point of the village when seen from the top of the castle, and the mountains beyond it make the view of the village less impressive.
Still, it was very intimidating to look up from below.

There is a shelter right next to the village, which can be used as an emergency shelter. I don't think such a day will come, though.
"Master, let me show you inside.
Butler A, who had been waiting for us, showed us around Jin.

The inside of the foundation of the castle tower (stone wall) corresponds to the first and second basement floors. On top of that is a five-story, six-story structure, and the first floor is the hall. All the villagers can be invited to a banquet. There is a bathroom as well as a toilet.
The second floor is the guest rooms and reception rooms. There will be a library, and we plan to increase the number of books in the library as time goes on.
The fourth floor is supposed to be open as a spare floor, but in fact it is said to be full of traps.

The fifth floor is Jin's room, and there is a bedroom here as well. The sixth floor is the watchtower.
The first basement is a pantry with enough food for the residents of Kaina Village to live on for a month. For some reason, there was a dungeon on the second basement floor.
Each level has hidden rooms and passageways where ninja troops can hide. Of course, the ceiling is also built that way.

According to Butler A, they call it that because
"On the first, second, and fourth floors, there is a trapdoor mechanism where the floor falls out, and there is also a suspended ceiling where the ceiling comes down.

When Hitoshi heard this, all he could do was laugh.
All rooms are basically air-conditioned. The walls are soundproofed, insulated, impact-resistant, and demon-proofed.
The hall on the first floor is wooden and has 100 cushions.

The guest rooms on the second floor are divided into two types, one with a nice appearance and the other with a simple but elegant appearance, which can be used according to the needs of the guests. The servants' rooms are also on this floor.
Jin's office on the third floor has a wall trap that turns the wall into a trap, making one wonder what kind of ninja mansion it is.
The traps on the fourth floor include a paralyzed room, a high-heat room, a low-temperature room, and a suspended-ceiling room.

There was also a warp gate for Jin in a room on the fifth floor. Only Jin and Reiko could use this gate, and if anyone else used it, they would be transferred to an unbelievable place.
I did not ask them where they would be transferred to because I was afraid of them.
"You can go to the basement of Martha's house and back.

That would certainly be very convenient.
"Well, I'm glad we made it in time, because some messenger from the Kingdom of Klein might come to visit us sooner or later.
Jin called the old man, who had a cleverly concealed manacam in his office on the third floor.

The old man concluded.
"Thank you very much for your hard work on the construction of the castle. Now, please make two more battlers and send them to us. The numbers are B and C."

Now Butler A will be assigned to Jin's house in Martha's mansion, and Butlers B and C will be assigned to the castle.

Jin thought so, too, and asked the old man to send one golem maid of each of the five colors, in other words, five golem maids. The reason why he chose all five colors is because he could not favor any particular color.
The reason why I chose golems instead of automata is to avoid showing off my skills more than necessary, but I am unaware that it is too late for that.
"Well, I've seen the castle, let's go to the village. We don't have much time.

Jin and Reiko went to the basement of his house in Martha's mansion by using the warp gate.
It was just after noon. It seems that they had just finished lunch, and Meane and Behrle had just come outside to wash the dishes.
"Ah, Jin-sama!

Behré shouts when he sees Jin coming out of the basement.
"Welcome back, Jin-sama!
Meane greets him calmly,

"When in the world did you get back?
while Behrle is puzzled. Hearing her voice, Hannah and Erza also came out.
"Oh, my darling, welcome back!

Jin, welcome back. ...... air veil smell?"
Ripe airbert smells good. Elsa seems to have a good nose and she smelled the air veil in Reiko's basket.
"You guessed it. It's a souvenir!"

Jin pointed at the basket Reiko was holding. She had woken up early this morning and bought it at a market like a morning market.
Behrle, Elsa and Meane's eyes roll when they see it.
"Yes, that's an airbert! And it's ripe! Where did you bring it from?

"I miss Airbert ......."
"Ah, Airbert, yes. I used to go there a long time ago. Elsa likes it too.
They all responded in three different ways.

"Yes, I finally brought a souvenir that looks like a souvenir. Hannah, wash this and we're all ready to go.
"Yes! Thank you, honey! ...... Wow, it smells delicious!
Around the village of Kaina, there is a plant called "wiley" that looks like a wild strawberry, but it is small, sour and tasteless.

Airbert, on the other hand, looks just like a Dutch strawberry, so it is sweet and sour and tasty.
"Thank you, Jin-brother, I'm so happy.
Seeing Elsa's joy, Jin was glad that he had brought this.

"Ah! Jin-sama! When are you coming back?
Barrow also came out and greeted Jin. Needless to say, he was surprised to see Airbert.
"You are looking much better!"

Jin was relieved to see Barrow and Behle looking so good.
Yes, thanks to you. Thank you very much for the medicine.
Behle bowed deeply.

"Oh, I'm glad you're feeling better. How are you getting used to this village?
Jin asked, and they both nodded.
"Yes, everyone is very nice.

"Yes, they are. I think this is the best village in the world.
At that moment.
"Ah! Jin-san!

!
I turn around to hear a loud voice calling out to Jin, and there is Roland.
"Ah, Mr. Roland, it's been a while."
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
But Roland was very excited.
"Jin-saaan, I've missed you so much! We've cleared up the misunderstanding, but you never leave. I heard you were in Alban the other day.
"Ha-ha-ha!"

Roland's tension made Jin flinch.
"I haven't been able to get a copy of
"Yes, I understand."

With some reluctance, Jin agreed.
When Roland's excitement subsided, he turned pale.
"Oh ......, excuse me!"

He bowed 90 degrees at the waist in the most respectful manner.
"What?"
"I heard that! Jin-sa...... is now the owner of Kaina Village!

"Ah ......"
Jin scratched his head,
"Mr. Roland, I only leased the land because I happened to take credit for it. Nothing has changed for me. So please treat me as you have always treated me.

Roland looked up as Jin said this, but he was still somewhat reserved.
"But that's not really Jin-sama's place, is it?"
"Ah, so I'd like you to stop calling me that.

After some back-and-forth, I was told that I could continue to call him <
As for the rubber ball, Jin promises to have it ready by tomorrow morning, when Roland leaves the village of Kaina.
He has 100 each of baseballs, clues, and dodge balls. They are bulky but light enough to carry.

Since I did not explain the materials in detail last time, it will not look suspicious if I prepare that many balls in one night.
Now that we're all settled, Hitoshi makes small talk,
"By the way, I heard that salt is kind of selling well?
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Roland's face turned pale. Roland's face became gloomy.
When Jin asked what was wrong, Roland told him that he had sold so much salt on the road that he had run out of salt to bring to the village of Kaina.
He also explained that the only jar of salt he had left had been stolen.

"At ......, you know? When I came to, I found 80 kilos of salt in my cargo!
"That's good, isn't it?"
Roland shook his head.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
"That's not going to happen. ...... We don't know where it came from, and above all, we can't sell something we don't know what it is. What if it's been poisoned?"
"I see. ......"
Jin was impressed by Roland's conscientiousness and regretted that he had supplied the salt without thinking.

"Then, I'll do the evaluation," Jin suggested.
Jin suggested.
"If I check the ingredients with engineering magic, won't that give you peace of mind?
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
"If you do that, it will help everyone in the village.
With that, Jin immediately began to examine the salt.

The magic of analysis. As he knew, there were no harmful ingredients in the salt.
After checking all four jars, Jin gives his assurance that the salt is safe. Roland is pleased.
"Thank you very much. Now we can give out the salt.

"What?"
This salt is off the books, so we can't sell it. I will give it to you all for free.
With that, Roland returns with the salt. Jin was convinced that this merchant would be a good friend for a long time to come.

Jin then went to see the village chief, though it was a little late.
"Oh, Jin, welcome back.
"I'll be going out again soon. How are Barrow and Behrle from the chief's point of view?
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
"Hmm? Those two... Not bad. I'm already familiar with most of them.
As expected, Giebeck knew exactly what Hitoshi meant.
"I see. Well then, if the two of them agree to it..."

"Yes, no problem at all."
Reassured by this, Jin hurried back to Martha's house. It was almost time to go back to Reinhardt and the others.
When Jin returned, Hannah, Elsa, Barrow and Behrle were eating air bail.

"Oh, honey, this is delicious! Thank you!"
"Thank you, Brother Jin, for the nostalgic taste!
"Thank you, Jin-sama, it's a taste of home!

Martha and Meane also picked some and said it was delicious. Jin was happy to hear that.
"That's good to hear. It was worth bringing."
Jin smiled again and turned to Barrow and Behle,

He asked them, "If you are willing, would you like to become residents of this village?
