Erza had already returned there and greeted Jin at the warp gate room in the basement.
And there was another person next to Erza.
"Long time no see, Jin.

"Hey, Reinhard."
Reinhard had come to Leuthart with Elsa.
"Welcome back, Jin-sama."

Barrow and Behle also greeted Jin.
"So Reinhardt is here too?"
"Yes, I was summoned by His Majesty.

"I see. Well, let's go upstairs and have a long talk.
And so they all moved into the living room.
The three of them are seated at the round table. Reiko and Edgar stood behind Jin and Elsa, respectively.

Behle immediately brewed a pot of tea and put it in front of everyone. Today's tea was hojicha.
"Yes, it's delicious. It is well brewed.
Jin praised after taking a sip.

It is a rule that hojicha should be brewed with boiling water. And Jin has a cat tongue.
Therefore, Jin's cup of hojicha had to be cooled down a little after it was put into the cup. All the golem maids in Horai Island know how to adjust the temperature.
It seemed that Bele had learned how to adjust the temperature, and it was just right.

When Behré was praised, he bowed briefly and left the room. This could be said to be the result of his training at the Reinhardt residence.
"Well, first of all, Erza, welcome back. You've decided what you're going to do, right?"
"Yes, I have. I've decided to ...... rebuild the Randall family.

Looking straight into Jin's face, Erza answered. Jin said gently to Elsa.
"I see. I'm sure you've thought about it a lot and come to a decision. I will support you.
"Thank you, Jin-brother."

Erza's cheeks flushed a little and she bowed lightly.
"...... So, Reinhardt was summoned by His Majesty, I hear. Is something wrong?"
"No, it's not like there's some kind of trouble or anything. It seems to be a technical consultation.

Reinhardt adds, "Apparently, because I haven't heard anything about the contents yet.
"Hmm. ...... Well, I'll be there today."
"Oh, you're coming too?

"Yeah. I'm sure it'll go faster if I'm with you.
Jin is an honorary advisor to the emperor and can come to the castle without an appointment and request an audience with His Majesty.
"That would certainly be helpful. ...... but Jin is going for Erza's sake, right?"

Well, yeah.
"......"
Jin replied with a straight face to Reinhardt's teasing dig at him. Erza, who was listening beside him, turned her head down, her cheeks tinted.

"Jin, please take good care of Erza. She's my precious, sweet cousin."
"......? Yes, of course.
"......!"

A casual exchange. I can't help but feel that the nuance between Reinhardt and Jin is slightly different, but Erza, who was listening beside him, had a look of impatience on her face.
The time was 10:00 a.m., and the time was 10:00 a.m.
The time was 10:00 a.m. Jin, Erza, Reinhard, Reiko, Edgar, and others left for Miyagi by airship.

We can't waste time talking about it.
The airship was taken not only to save time, but also to let them know as soon as possible that Jin had arrived.
As Jin had hoped, he was greeted by the Prime Minister when he landed.

"Well, well, Sir Jin Nido, welcome. And welcome to Ehime Leko."
"I apologize for this unexpected visit, but I have brought Erza and Reinhardt with me. ......"
"More and more convenient. Your Majesty is waiting for you.

The Prime Minister leads Jin Nido into his office.
"Sir Jin Nido, Ehime Reiko, Sir Reinhard Randall, and Elsa, welcome!"
We were ushered into the office of the female emperor, which was the office of the emperor.

Once everyone was seated, without even a word of greeting, the queen began to speak.
She said, "Let's not use formal language, since we have urgent matters to discuss. Thank goodness you're here too, Jin. ...... Let's start with Elsa. Have you made up your mind? Have you made up your mind?
"Yes. I would like to call myself Elsa Randall."

The Empress nodded broadly.
"So that's it? Okay... Prime Minister, is that clear?
Of course, that's all right. Then today, as of November 22nd, 3457. I hereby approve the baronetcy of Randall, junior baronet.

Thank you very much.
Elsa got up from her seat and bowed to the Emperor and to the Prime Minister. The title of Baroness Elsa Randall von Lassula was born.
"For the record, I have no domain. Instead, you will receive a salary as a baroness, one million crowns per year. What about the recipient?"

In the Shoro Kingdom, nobles who have no lands are paid a salary from the state.
In the Shoro Kingdom, nobles who have no land are paid a salary from the state. For now, Elsa's salary is at the lowest level.
This means that Elsa's parents, who had only been eating out of their family fortune, now have a basis for living.

In exchange, they will be obliged to take on a job for the country for a certain period of time, even if they do not hold any office.
"...... my parents' mother, please."
"Okay. ...... clerk, record it."

Seeing Elsa's tense mood on her face, the emperor smiled at her.
"Don't be so nervous. Elsa, your main task is to be Sir Jin Nido's assistant. Are we clear? You will help him and help him, won't you?"
"...... Yes!"

For a moment, Erza was unsure of what was being said, but when she understood what was being said, her face lit up and she responded with a vigorous smile.
"......You have a nice smile. A girl should have a smile. Sir Jin Nido, take good care of Elsa, will you?"
"Yes, sir."

Jin Nido replied with a smile.
"Well, Sir Reinhard Randall, the reason I called you here is because of the shipbuilding project.
"Shipbuilding?

Yes, shipbuilding. We're very glad you're here, Jin. Will you listen to me?
Yes, Your Majesty.
When it came to manufacturing, Jin had no objection.

"Thank you. Please talk to me at ......, Prime Minister!"
The Empress looked at the Prime Minister and urged him to speak.
"Well..." he said. ......First of all, our country uses ships for water transportation, and I thought it necessary to develop more ships for the future."

"The future, sir?"
Reinhardt leaned forward.
"Yes. "Yes. And it is still unknown and underutilized. We can't just leave it unexplored."

"Yes, I agree.
Now Jin answered.
"First of all, I would like to build a ship that can sail the distant seas and can withstand a voyage of several days to a dozen days. The main purpose is to transport goods.

"To promote the development of water transportation, yes."
Elsa thought back to the conversation she had had with Lioness Ashford the other day in the Kingdom of Klein.
"Yes. For this purpose, I would like to build a large ship. I would like to ask Reinhardt to participate in the planning.

"Do you have a rough idea of the ship?"
"No, all we know is that it will be about 30 to 40 meters in size. I will leave the details to the experts.
"...... sounds interesting."

Jin, who had been working on shipbuilding on Horai Island until recently, leaned forward.
The Kingdom of Cerroa has a 40-meter boat that carries carriages across the Asur River. Of course, this is just a ferry boat, and it lacks motive power.
The Unification Party (Unifiler) also had large boats.

However, all of them were shallow-bottomed vessels, and from Jin's point of view, they were little more than a hairy raft, not built to withstand ocean voyages.
The only ship that was truly built for ocean voyages is the one currently under construction by Eckart Tekres in the Kingdom of Cerroa, although it is still incomplete.
In that sense, this new large ship, which will be the first of its kind in the world.

It was only natural that Jin would be enthusiastic about it.
