Stearina's room was on the third floor of the guest house.

She was accompanied by a maid of honor, but she was asked to stay out of the room for a confidential talk.

So, what is it that you want to talk about?

Stearina asked as she sipped the tea that the maid had brewed and left for her.

"Well, first of all, Stearina-san, will you join us?

Jin asked straightforwardly. He was so direct that Stearina did not seem to understand his intention.

"What do you mean by 'friends'? Not "friend"?

"Yes, a friend."

Stearena's face lit up as she seemed to have a vague idea of what he meant.

"...... Are you going to tell me all about Jin-kun's secrets and stuff?"

"Yes, yes, well..."

"Yes, well..." "Then I will! I don't even have to go back to my country anymore!"

Hearing these words, Jin gave his final confirmation.

"...... do you really mean what you say?"

"What?"

"Magecraft, are you willing to abandon your country for it? Are you prepared to do that?"

Sensing Jin's tone of voice and the mood of Reinhardt next to her, Stearina puts aside her playful mannerisms and answers seriously.

"Yes, I don't mind. If you want, I can prove it to you.

Stearina opens a drawer in the dresser and brings out a bag. She takes out an ID card from it. It was a passport.

"I can't go back to my country without it. I'm willing to give it to you."

Jin pushed the ID back,

"Okay. You don't have to go that far. I only need your permission for one thing. <.

"Trans-info? What kind of magic is that?"

Jin decided to answer honestly.

"It is a magic that reads what is in your head and transfers it into magi crystals. It's easy to tell if you're lying.

Normally, one would be uncomfortable or creeped out by the idea of having one's mind read, but this was not the case with Stearina.

"Okay, go ahead."

Her brazen attitude made Hitoshi feel more uncomfortable than she did. But in the end, he had to do it to move forward.

"<>"

"Kya."

For a brief moment, Stearena let out a small voice due to a slight feeling of discomfort.

"Is this okay?"

Staring at the Magi Crystal shining in Jin's hand, Stearina said.

"Yes, all we have to do now is to analyze it. "Yes, it's very easy.

The other day, I had exchanged a lot of ideas with the old man and created a magical tool, which is also called . It is a cube of about 15 centimeters on each side.

Its structure is a magic tool with a control core of a golem. What makes it a little special is that it uses a sub control core for memory.

The sub-control core (control core) is simply set with a transferred magic crystal (magicrystal).

The control core automatically checks the transcribed memories and consciousness, and confirms that your desire to become a member is true.

In terms of protecting privacy, the magi crystals that have transcribed memories can be erased (erased) as soon as they are confirmed.

The vocalization ability is a primitive < formula. In other words, it is just a matter of combining a few pre-defined words. Complex interactions are possible, but they are very time-consuming.

This was also designed to protect privacy. In other words, the user is not able to hear what is stored in his/her memory even if he/she wanted to.

When I used this to check the consciousness of Stearina, I found that she had <>. A is the level of aptitude for the Horaijima family, which means that there is no worry about betraying the family. The old man is a man of strange tastes.

"Stearina, I am sorry for doubting you.

The first to bow was Jin, and Reinhardt also apologized.

"I think it will become clear later why I had to make all these confirmations.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."

Thus, accompanied by Stearina, who was judged to be qualified to join them, Jin and Reinhardt left the guest house and quietly went to Jin's carriage.

After making sure that no one else was around, they used the warp gate installed in the carriage.

"What was that?

<. As expected, Stearina, who had never experienced transference before, was surprised and excited.

"We're going to use the warp gate.

"What, what, what, a warp gate?"

"Yes. You'll have to get used to it from here.

And then the group moves to Horai Island.

After passing through the entrance hall from the warp gate room and once outside the institute, Jin utters his usual line.

"Stearina, welcome to Horai Island.

Stearina was surprised by the warp gate, but she learned that it was just the beginning.

From then on, it was the usual course.

Surprised at the golem maid, surprised at the mountain of materials, facilities, toilets, and hot springs.

"......I don't want to go home ......"

I'm sure that's what he really meant.

But.

"I think I'm going to have to go home."

"Yeah? Why? I want to stay longer!

"Ugh, I know. ......"

"It's not like I can't come back. I'll make it look like I'm coming home tomorrow and I'll pick you up on the way."

Really? I'm counting on you."

And so, Stearina returned to Shoro for the time being.

"Well then, take this."

"Uh, the manacam, is it right? Thank you. Okay.

After seeing Stearina off as she returned to the guest house, Jin and Reinhardt decided to return to Reinhardt's parents' home.

< was a fast boat, and they arrived at the Randall Count's residence by evening. Jin's carriage would return here by land. It is a big advantage that we do not get tired even if we run all night.

"Jin, by the way, where are Erza and the others?

After dinner, Jin and the others are relaxing and chatting.

In response to Reinhardt's question, Jin explained the situation in the village of Kaina.

"Well, it must have been a hard time. But Sally Mireshan, I hear she is a good teacher.

"Miresuhan, you say?"

Bertsche asked from the side, which was unusual.

"She is a dark blonde, blue-eyed woman in her late 40s, not yet ......50, is she not?

"Oh, yes, she is. I haven't checked her age, but it might be around there.

Bertsche clapped his hands in joy when he heard Jin's answer.

"Well! Then he must be related to that teacher.

"That teacher? Belle, do you know him?

Reinhard had no idea who Mireshan was.

"Yes. Clara Mireshan. "Yes. She's the reason I was born."

What do you mean?

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



What do you mean? I never told you. My mother, Hilde, was born about eight months premature. She was premature and she was so sick that her life was in danger for a while, but Dr. Clara saved her. Of course, I heard this story from my mother, who was also my mother's mother, that is, my grandmother.

Apparently, Sally was related to a healer named Clara Mireshan, whom Bertsche had mentioned.

She must be his daughter, judging by her age, Bertsche said. The dark blonde hair and blue eyes are what Clara looks like.

"I remember that she also used Shoro's imperial healing magic.

Jin remembered that too. I wonder if Sally is Clara's daughter after all.

"But how did she end up in the Kingdom of Celluloa ...... if not ......?"

Do you know something, Belle?

Yes, that's what I've heard.
