 Just the other day, he visited Asunto, the capital of Egelea. Perhaps he had heard that he was on the verge of illness, the Marquis thought.

"As I recall, I heard that Master Zion had a personal friendship with Master Beena as well.

 Perhaps it was because of that friendship that he had sent a healer to the city. Not only that, but he also sent valuable remedies to .......

"Thank you, ancestors. Thanks to them, I was saved this time. ...... Then there is my daughter (Pamela)."

 However, a magecraftsman named Shin, who accompanied the healer, assured me that the onset of the disease could be controlled with a magical tool, albeit a symptomatic treatment.

"I don't know how many days it will take to complete it, but in the meantime, they must be treated with the best hospitality.

 Then Queschan, the family president, came running into the room. He had served the family since the Marquis was a boy and was his most trusted retainer.

"What's wrong, Ques?"

"It's ...... sir! I've finished ...... the accessories for your daughter!"

"What?"

 Marquis Kuzma twisted his head. No wonder. <, but he had never expected it to be in the form of an accessory.

 Quess reported to the Marquis once again in an orderly fashion.

 The face of the Marquis, who was listening to the report, became colored with astonishment.

"My God! That Shin-dono has created a magic tool to suppress < in about 10 minutes! And it's in the form of an accessory ...... pendant?

"Yes, sir, it is."

"Mm...... what a ......!"

 Jin made a pendant against <.

 The fact that it was completed in only ten minutes is something that would be hard to believe if it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Kuzma had heard about it from his trusted vizier, Queschan.

"...... But since he was an engineer in whom ...... Master Zion placed his trust, he was also an acquaintance ...... with the legendary <>. He was an acquaintance,...... or rather a friend of Master Zion. It's no wonder that Master Shin, who sent us here, is also quite skilled."

 The dishes were not only from the Kingdom of Egelea, but also from Shoro, Klein, Elias, Franz, Selroa, and many other countries.

 The hospitality is provided by the Marquise Anna. As expected, the Marquis himself is still recovering from his illness and cannot be present.

 Nevertheless, he visited the dining hall in a <> and expressed his gratitude to Jin and the others.

"Shin-dono, Liese-san, and Reko-san, I can't thank you enough for sending your people to us, Mr. Zion-sama. Thank you so much."

"No, you're welcome. I am happy to be of help."

 Jin replied in a matter-of-fact way on behalf of the others.

"Here is a magical tool I made to control excessive magic power. It is in the form of a pendant, so if you wear it around your neck, it will help control your daughter's symptoms. The principle is to monitor the flow of magic power in the body, and only when it is about to overflow, the mana is reduced to free magic element (ether).



 The one Jin made for Erza in the past was a type that stored excess magic in the bracelet, but this one converts it back into free magic element (ether).

 This is because, unlike Erza who can manage her own magic tools, Pamela is still young and her parents, sisters, and maidservants are likely to have many chances to touch the pendant.

 In such a case, the absorption form of the pendant would absorb the mana of those who touched it, and there was a possibility that the pendant would cause physical problems.

 If it is converted back to free magic element (ether), a healthy person can convert it back to magic element (mana) in his/her body.

"I see. ...... I don't understand it well, but I know that Shin-dono is an extraordinary magical craftsman (magi craftsman)."

 Jin handed the pendant to the lady and the lady handed the pendant to the marquis.

"Oh ......, it is beautiful. Mister Singh, may I give this to my daughter?"

Yes, please. And this is not a magical tool, but for the ladies upstairs.

 Jin handed two pairs of similar necklaces and pendant tops.

 The design is the same, only the color of the stones is different. Irene's is a red stone and Mavis's is green.

"Thank you for your kindness."

 Bowing lightly, the Marquis left the dining room.

"Master Shin, please listen as you eat."

 Meanwhile, the Marchioness Anna came to talk to Jin.

"The Viscounts Galana and Rasaan and the Countess Setena are coming to visit you this evening. I am sorry, but I would like to leave the care of Mr. Shin and his party in the hands of Meline, the head maid golem. Do you understand?"

 But she shook her head.

 Jin and the others went back to their rooms.

 Meline, the head golem maid, is with him.

 Jin, who had been bored with his work for some time, asked, "Meline?

"Meline, right? How are you feeling?

"Yes, Shin-sama. The last time you serviced me was 87 years ago, so I'm a little out of shape.

 Most of the servants, including the family's boss, Mr. Queschan, are busy preparing for this evening's party, so a technical worker who has nothing to do with housework has come to the workshop.
