"Welcome, Miss Elsa."
This time, as in Jin, Queen Caroline de Lafayette, Prime Minister Joachims de Droe, Minister Claude de Chaunay, Minister of Magic Jonas Tigrina, and Minister of Finance Oneka de Creo were there to greet them.
"Thank you again for your hospitality."

Elsa came down and made a beautiful curtsy.

After putting their luggage in the guest room, Jin, Elsa, Reiko, Hope and the others went out.
"Are you sure you want to go to ...... to see the auction and the free market?"

"Yes, that's right."
"Yeah, that'd be fun."
"Right?"

Elsa also brought a little cash.
About 5 million dollars. I'll leave that with Reiko.
I've also asked Sky11 to come by and take care of the Hurricane for Hope.

Hope is supposed to be a baggage handler, accompanying Jin and the others.
Najaz Khan is, of course, their guide.
"Watch your step, Miss Elsa.

"Thank you for ......."
Najas is always looking after Elsa. Elsa, on the other hand, looks a little depressed.

The plaza in front of the castle is the site of the free market, which is a short walk away.
"Oh, is this ore?"
Someone was selling colorful minerals.

"These are dried medicinal herbs.
Someone was selling various kinds of medicinal herbs, some picked from the mountains, some grown in the fields.
"This is lovely."

One man was selling small wood carvings that he had probably carved himself.
"It's quite fun just to look at them.
"Yes."

Isn't it?
Najas, who was showing us around, looked happy.
Jin recalled the rag markets he used to go to when he was in modern Japan.

There were many old clothes and antiques, but sometimes there were toys that could be repaired, which he bought as souvenirs for the children in the facility.
I also went to the <

"Oh, this is ......."
Jin's eyes stopped at a certain stall.
He recognized what he saw there.

"...... It's a figurine."
It was not a sculpture. It was clearly a doll made with
"Hmm, but it wasn't made by my brother Jin."

The figures were not pretty girls or boys, but knights in armor, animals such as horses and wolves, and models of castles.
The models of castles might be dioramas, not figures, Jin thought in a corner of his mind.
"Oh, this? This is something I made myself, hehehe."

A boy who was tending the store confided in me shyly.
He was a clever-looking boy of about 12 years old. "Well, it's quite a good work, isn't it?"
The modeling is still not perfect, but the production skill is good enough to pass the test.

"Is there anyone here to teach you?"
Jin asked the boy.
"I don't have a teacher, but my mother taught me.

"I'll buy this as a souvenir."
Jin picked up a wolf figure from among the figures on the line and paid 80 Tolu for it.
"Thank you very much!"

The boy waved his hand happily.
"This is what makes it so interesting."

"I can see that."
Jin wrapped the figure he had bought in a handkerchief and put it gently in the shopping basket in Reiko's hand.
At that moment, Elsa tugged on Jin's sleeve so that Najas wouldn't see.

（What's wrong?)
Najas is now looking at the goods in the stall, so Jin asks Elsa in a whisper.
"......"

Elsa pointed silently. In that direction is .......
"...... Saki? and Goose?"
Saki and Goose were happily touring the stalls.

(Oh, they must have come here after hearing our story.) Indeed, the ores and plants in these stalls must be Saki's favorite ......, Jin agreed.
Saki is now looking at the colorful ore stalls.

Jin and Erza could hear his voice.

（Saki seems to be having a good time. Goose is playing the brake. (Guth is playing the brake...but he looks like he's having a good time.)
Guth gave a small wave when he noticed Jin and the others, and Jin nodded in return. It is better to pretend not to know each other at this point.

"What are you interested in, Najas-san?"
Elsa asked,
"Elsa, please call me Naja. ...... I was looking at medicinal herbs."

"Yes. It is good that you have such knowledge besides ...... healing magic."
"Thank you!"
Elsa said to her,

Then you should also be familiar with poisons. There will be times when you will have to treat poisoned people and there is a fine line between poison and medicine.
He explained.
Even medicine can be harmful if the dosage is exceeded. Elsa told Najas about this knowledge.

"Thank you, Miss Elsa."
Najaz Khan seemed to really appreciate the advice and thanked Elsa with a slightly flushed face.
