On May 12, Jin and his group will stay in Riale. It is less than 40 kilometers from here to Leuthart, which is a one-day trip.
That afternoon, Jin spent time in the carriage listening to Reinhardt's story.
"Oh, that's the town of Riale.

In the evening, they arrived at their destination, Rialle.
The carriage was driven to the coach station.
There was a conspicuous white coach. It was a small, two-horse cart.

"What is that? Could it be ......?"
"Reinhardt?"
Jin, who was curious about Reinhardt's muttering when he saw the carriage, observed the carriage closely, but there was nothing unusual about it. Then, he thought that he knew the owner of the coat of arms .......

"Ah, he ........."
Matheus muttered something like that, at that moment.
"Mr. Reinhardt!"

A woman's voice said. He looked over to see a woman in a dress running toward him.
"Berthe!
"Mr. Reinhardt! I've been looking forward to meeting you!

The woman had already run in front of him and jumped on Reinhardt.
Reinhardt stumbled a little, but caught her properly,
"Bertsche, it's been a long time! I'm glad to see you are well!

He hugged her.
"You're back too late! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Bertsche said, but hugged Reinhardt tightly herself.

They had been doing this for a while,
"Ah, Berthe, Reinhardt. We're in public, you might as well leave it at that."
Matheus coughed and both of them blushed and moved away.

The woman called Berthe straightened her posture and smiled at Matheus.
"Welcome back, brother.
"Yes, I'm home, Berthe."

After this exchange, Reinhard hugged Berthe's shoulder and turned to Jin,
"Jin, let me introduce you. My fiancée, Matthäus' sister."
Berthe took over,

"My name is Berthe Geist von Scarlett.
After saying her name, she showed a beautiful curtsey with the hem of her skirt plucked.
"Berthe, this is Jin Nido, Honorary Magical Craftsman of the Kingdom of Egelea. He's my guest.

Jin.
Jin greets me in the Japanese style, bending at a 60-degree angle at the waist.
"If you are Mr. Reinhardt's guest, you are also my guest. Jin-sama, welcome to the Shoro Kingdom. We are pleased to welcome you.

Berthe smiled at me with lightly wavy shoulder-length blond hair and green eyes. She was about 150 centimeters tall, considerably smaller than Jin.
However, the bust of her dress is large and assertive, which explains why she is Reinhardt's fiancée.
Her atmosphere is soft and gentle, but she must have a lively side to come so far to meet Reinhardt.

"We've already prepared your accommodations!
Berthe said, and naturally, Reinhardt took her hand and the two of them started walking together.
Jin and Matheus followed.

"......He's more of a fiancée than I, his older brother. ......"
Jin pretended not to hear Matheus' muttering.
They stayed at a luxurious hotel in the center of Riale.

Dinner was served in a dining room with a large banquet hall. It was a private dining room.
"Mr. Reinhard, I know you've been working hard for a long time. I hope you will have a lot of fun tonight.
Bertsche sits down next to Reinhardt and pours the wine herself.

"Thank you, Belle."
"Thank you, Belle, it's been a long time since you called me that.
There was a peculiar atmosphere around them. Even the simple-minded Jin could feel it.

"There's something different about the air in there. ......"
Jin muttered to himself, and Matheus, who was sitting next to Jin, said,
"He's always been in love with Reinhardt, Jin-dono.

Jin whispered in a whisper.
"Heh. ......"
Reinhardt was talking to Bertsche with a smile, or rather, with a slightly downcast look on his face.

Jin is enjoying himself quite a bit as well, seeing an unexpected side of Reinhardt.
The food, although nothing unusual, is well prepared and the best I have ever tasted in my life.
I wonder what Reinhardt said to Bertsche at that moment,

"Jin-sama, could you introduce me to your automata?"
"Huh? Oh, sure. ...... Reiko, come here."
Jin called Reiko who was waiting behind him,

"This is my daughter, Reiko."
Reiko bowed and bowed. Reiko bowed lightly,
"I'm Reiko."

Reiko bowed her head and said, "I am Reiko.
Bertsche saw this and smiled broadly,
"Oh, you are so cute! I have never seen such a beautiful automata as Reiko! No wonder Mr. Reinhardt invited her.

I have never seen such a wonderful automaton as Reinhardt!
He loves pretty things," said Matthäus.
Matheus said.

Berthe then added
"I'm bringing my own daughter with me. ...... neon! Come in!
she called out the name of an automaton that seemed to belong to her.

Yes, Mister!
The automaton came in, looking about in his late teens. Her hair was golden like Berthe's, and her eyes were green like Berthe's. She looked just like Berthe. Or rather, she looks just like Berthe.
She is wearing a dark blue-colored maid's uniform, though.

This is my automata, Neon. Neon, say hello to everyone.
"Yes. ...... My name is Neon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Neon.
His speech is a bit slurred, but his actions are human-like enough. It must have been made by a very skilled magi engineer, Jin thought.

"Well done, Neon. Jin-sama, this child was made by Gebhard Ackermann, who is said to be the best Magi Engineer in the Shoro Kingdom.
Even if he said that, to Jin, it would be
Reinhardt saw this and added

Jin, Mr. Gebhardt is the brother of my master. Both of them were the disciples of Siegmund Grinwald, who was known as the "Magi Engineer Maestro" of the previous generation.
"Magi Engineer Maestro?"
"Ah, you don't know him? The title "Magi Engineer Maestro" is given to Japan's leading magical engineers.

Jin was intrigued by Reinhardt's explanation.
"Hmm, I'd like to meet him."
"Yeah, I knew Jin would say that. Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Reinhardt assured him. Bertsche, who was standing next to him, looked at him,
Reinhardt-sama really cares about Jin-sama, I'm a little jealous.
Jin was a little bit surprised. However, there seemed to be no deep meaning and Bertsche immediately changed the subject.

"What can you do for us, Reiko? Neon is good at singing and dancing. Let me show you to your dismay. ...... Neon!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Neon takes a few steps back and gets ready. That alone shows that he is intelligent enough to know what to do from the flow of the conversation.

"I know I'm not very good at this, sir."
After saying this, Neon started to dance slowly. Jin's image of his movements is that of a slow Southeast Asian dancer.
One reason for this may be that his body is structurally incapable of fast movements.

Eventually, he started to sing a song while dancing. The lyrics are incomprehensible to Jin. He probably has a melody and improvises his voice to it.
Even so, the movements were as good as those of <
"Good day to you."

When the dance was over, Neon bowed and took his place behind Bertsche.
"Jin-sama, I would be happy if you could show something to your little Reiko," he said with sparkling eyes.
Berthe pleads with sparkling eyes, and Jin, unable to refuse, calls out to Reiko.

"Reiko, will you show me something?"
"Yes, father, I'll do it."
Reiko lightly accepted the offer and walked to the place where Neon performed the dance.
