"Oh, yes, I forgot all about that."

When they returned to the office after the test drive, the emperor gave Jin a bag of money.

It was Mitsuho currency. You can use our coins over there, but just in case.

"Thank you very much.

"Please check it for me."

At the emperor's words, Jin pulled out the entire contents of the bag.

"10 copper coins, 50 perforated white copper coins, 100 perforated white copper coins, 100 perforated white copper coins, and 100 perforated white copper coins. 100en, a silver coin of 1,000 en, 100,000 gold coins."

"en......?"

This made Hitoshi wonder if the "Magus" was Japanese after all.

There was a total of 300,000 en in the account.

"It's just pocket money, but we don't have that much money in Mitsuho as a country.

"No, thank you very much.

Since the Shoro Empire and the Small Group of States had been using the same currency up to now, they would not have had any idea of the exchange rate, that is, the exchange ratio when different currencies are exchanged, nor would they have even imagined the foreign currency reserves.

Unfortunately, I did not think that Jin would be able to give effective advice on this matter.

He told me that 10en was about one toll.

After that, he asked about the situation in Mitsuho, and the topic returned to automobiles.

"Here is the manual.

Jin handed me the car's instruction manual.

"Please refer to the drawings attached for your reference.

"Is that all right?

The Prime Minister was puzzled by the fact that he had received so many plans for a magical tool, or rather, a magical machine.

"Yes, that's all right. Please refer to them.

Jin had heard from the fifth column (Quinta) that the Kingdom of Egelea, to which he had previously presented a golem horse, had failed in its attempt to make the same thing, so he thought that if it was going to be copied someday anyway, he should feel good about giving the plans to them.

It is undeniable that he also had some pride in himself, saying, "If I can make it, I will make it.

And with this, Jin could drive to Mitsuho by car.

Although it may not look like a good thing from the outside, it was a big advantage for Jin.

In addition, the following is a quote from the article

"Lastly, I would like to buy copper as a material.

Jin asked, "Oh, I see.

"Oh, I see, since you seem to use a lot of bronze. Don't ask me to introduce you. I'll have them deliver it to your residence later.

"Thank you, sir."

This was supposed to be the end of it, but at the very last moment, he was given the payment by the empress.

"I feel sorry to just give it to you, so please think of it as payment for the materials.

She handed him a catalog with the words, "I am sorry to give it to you, so please think of it as payment for the materials. The contents were

1 ton of copper

50 kilograms of tin

50 kilograms of quartz (including quartz crystal)

100 kilograms of iron

The amount of copper and tin is probably based on the assumption of bronze with 5 percent tin.

"Come and get it whenever you like.

With these words, the Empress returned to her office.

The emperor returned to his office.

"I see you managed to get it all done."

Yes.

Jin and the others returned to the house and relaxed.

"Shall we talk to Saki and Hannah tomorrow?

"What?　Just the two of them?

Erza looked puzzled, but Jin did not understand why.

Then Reiko came to his rescue.

"Father, what is the date tomorrow?"

"Hmm?　April 1st, right?

That's right. And it's my brother Jin's birthday.

Now that you put it that way, Jin is convinced.

"Oh, yeah, that's right. ......"

Last year, Reinhard and his friends celebrated my birthday in Yada village on the night of the battle with Gigarth, the super-weapon of the past.

"This year, we're going to make it a big one."

"No, no, I don't think so."

No.

"Father, you shouldn't be so reserved."

Reiko even told him not to, and Jin couldn't say no.

"Don't worry. I heard that my brother Rai is the promoter and is making all kinds of preparations.

"I'm indebted to Reinhardt in so many ways. ......"

Reinhardt's birthday is May 10, and since no one told us about it last year, Jin could not celebrate it.

Reinhardt himself said,

"Well, I'm not old enough to celebrate anymore.

He was trying to celebrate Jin's birthday, though.

"That's just the way it is."

Elsa laughed and said, "That's the way it is.

"Oh. I'm ...... grateful for that, though."

"Brother Jin, you're not being honest."

"No, your father is just embarrassed.

"...... you guys."

Jin wanted to argue, but he knew what he was talking about, and in the end he kept his mouth shut.

Hannah and Reiko picked airbert (strawberries) at the foot of Mount Horai.

And Elsa had made a big cake.

She had made a sponge cake topped with whipped cream and an air veil on top.

Peridot leader taught me how to bake a sponge cake. The cream was centrifuged by Reiko.

When the milk is centrifuged, it is separated into a cream layer and skimmed milk. The cream layer is then sterilized and aged to make fresh cream, which is quite a time-consuming process.

Reiko did the centrifugal separation herself, and Peridot and her colleagues converted it into fresh cream.

It was a cake that they had finally learned to make after a long process of trial and error, but they worked behind the scenes for Elsa's sake.

"Thank you, everyone!

Jin thanked everyone who had gathered to the party from the bottom of his heart.

The sky of Horai Island was blue and clear, and a spring breeze was blowing from the sea.
