"How did you come from the other side of the sea to this continent?

 By ship, by balloon, or by airship. But Eira's answer was.

A warp gate?

"Oh, I see. ......"

 Jin was a little disappointed. A warp gate would definitely be controlled.

"Then it's me. Jin, do you know the geography of any continent other than this one ...... or, let's face it, the Laurentian continent?"

"Well, I don't know. I think I know more than I know about this continent.

"Hmm."

"Then, Eira-san, why did you come to this continent?

I was recruited.

"Scout, huh?"

 Eira smiles.

I'll answer your question as a service. Although the Principality of Mercana is closed off from the rest of the world, it does import magic crystals and magical tools. Or rather, we have no choice but to do so."

"Of course."

"At the same time, they have publicly stated that they will invite intellectuals and give them preferential treatment."

"Ha ha ......"

 Jin reminds us that similar stories existed in the earth's past.

 The Edo Shogunate had closed itself off from the rest of the world, but only opened a limited number of ports to trade with the Netherlands and China.

 Jin is unaware of the controversy that has arisen in recent years over the use of the term "seclusion.

"I wanted to do as much research as I wanted in a new place, so I accepted the invitation. That was six years ago. ......The point is that I was naive."

 Eira laughs to herself and asks the next question, "Where are you from?

"You are from a country called Mituho, aren't you?"

"Mitsuho, I think I've heard of it ......."

 To this question, Jin gave a vague reply.

"Hmm, you are not responding well. ......Well, that's all right. You can't ask me to trust me out of the blue, can you?

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

I'm sure there is. You're just being cautious of me."

"......"

 Eira seemed to be a research idiot, but she also seemed to have a keen intuition.

"Well, I won't deny it."

"You're honest. I have my doubts about you too, so we're even.

 At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Jin and the others keep their mouths shut and listen carefully.

"Jin-sama, Mr. Katya is here. He's invited us for dinner.

"Oh, is it that time already?

I got carried away with the conversation. Jin, let's exchange this kind of information again sometime soon.

 Eira said and left the bedroom. Outside the door was Katya.

"...... what?"

"Oh, sweetheart. You're going to have dinner now, aren't you? Then let's go out to eat. I'll buy you a drink.

 She said this and went to her room without waiting for a reply. I think she went to get her purse and other things.

"Oh, no. ......"

 What was she thinking? She looked at Eira's back and blushed.

"Hey, Katya. Is it that time already? ...... I got carried away, didn't I?"

"Yes, I'm crazy...... about it."

 His face turns even redder.

"Jin-san, you're doing that kind of thing in your room. ......

"What?"

I missed it!

"What? What is it? What's going on, chair?

 When Jin approached her, she backed away.

"Don't touch me!"

"What?"

"Jin-san, Jin-san, what are you doing with that man ......?"

"......"

 Dull Jin finally realized what Katya had misunderstood.

"Wait, Katya. That's a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding? It couldn't be more ...... clear!"

"That's why ......"

 Then Eira came back. She is wearing a short-sleeved summer dress and a hat.

"What's all the fuss?"

"Oh, Eira, you're in the right place."

"Hmm?"

 Jin explained that they had just been talking in the bedroom and that Katya had misunderstood.

 Eira seemed to realize it at that,

"Oh, girl, you have a funny misunderstanding. I prefer older, strong, smart, and dependable men. Unfortunately, Jin only meets the criteria of being smart.

 He explained.

"......"

"Ha, ha."

 Whatever the expression, the misunderstanding seemed to have been cleared up.

"Now, if you understand, let's go eat dinner.

 Eira started to walk with big steps. She was looking very unfashionable in her one-piece dress.

 Jin left Hope to look after Eira and followed her. Katya followed a little later.

 Eira left the research building and headed straight for the restaurant. The summer evening sky was still bright.

 The restaurant, about a three-minute walk away, had a small frontage but was deep and spacious inside.

The cafeteria in the research building is not so bad, but they serve the same menu every three days.

 The menu changes every day, but it seems to be rotated every three days.

"Well, it's free, so I can't complain. That's why I like to eat out once in a while. Well, what do you want?"

"Well, let's see... ......"

 There is a menu, but I don't know what it is, just <><<>>>, etc., so I decide to choose a safe choice, <>.

"Well, you are a connoisseur, aren't you? Well, I'll have that one too.

"I'll have that one, too."

 All three of us ordered the same thing.

 We asked the waiter to prepare them, and they were ready in about five minutes.

"One of the good things about set menus is that they're fast, aren't they?

 Eira thinks to himself.

"Wow. ......."

 Jin's eyes widened.

 Brown rice...... probably 7 minutes polished rice, soup, grilled fish, and vegetable pickles. And meat topopo.

 Jin wondered why there was no miso when there was soy sauce, though it was a pity that it was not miso soup.

 He took a sip of the soup and found that it tasted salty, so he was not mistaken.

"But it's pretty tasty even with salt because of the dashi broth."

"......You know soy sauce and miso, don't you?"

 Eira sees right through him.

"Hmm, I guess you are from the Laurentian continent, aren't you?

"I guess so.

 Eira's confident tone was met with a vague response from Jin.
