Jin and his friends enter a glass store.

"Wow, it's beautiful.
"Wow, it's amazing!"

Inside the store, there are a wide variety of items made of glass, from utilitarian items to decorative items.
You can think of it as a collection of Edo faceted glass, Otaru glass, Venetian glass, and Swarovski glass all in one place.

"Count, welcome to our shop.

Again, someone who looked like the manager came out from the back and greeted Daikin.
"Yes. I'm here today with an acquaintance of mine to show you the goods.

"Well, well. Please take your time.
The manager then stepped back a little and bowed to the group.

After that, he stood quietly and did not explain anything else.
Jin appreciated this because it allowed him to look at the products more calmly.
He does not like the kind of customer service where the clerk comes up to him and starts explaining things that he did not ask for.

Therefore, Jin and the others divided into groups and looked at the products.

"This is quite beautiful.
"Hmm, I might want that glass.
"Well, I'll buy it."

"Thank you."
Jin and Elsa were talking like this as they looked at the beautifully designed items on the shelves.

Elsa was mainly interested in practical items such as glasses and bowls.
The cut of the glass was superb, the design was superb.
Glass with high transparency, colored glass with brilliant colors.

"You must have a good designer."
"Hmm."

It is possible to imitate the technology, but not the sense of design.
For a while, Jin and Elsa feast their eyes.

Rubina is looking around the accessory racks.
"Wow, interesting design. I wonder how they put the colored glasses together. ......<<>. ......"

Apparently, Rubina was interested in the process as well as the design.
Goh and Cocona are looking around for tableware.

They are planning to buy some glasses and dishes for Goh's own use.
The expensive ones have some kind of magic like <

Goh was trying to find something he liked from the cheap shelves, thinking that he could hang <
Just then, a clerk came hurriedly from the back of the store.

"Hey, manager, may I have a minute?"
"What is it? We have an important customer here right now.

I understand. I understand. ......
"Well, I don't blame you. I'm ...... sorry Count, but I'm going to have to leave you for a moment."
"Yes, that's fine."

The manager said no to Daikin and retreated to the back of the room.

"What the hell is this?
"I just opened the box we just received and this is what I found.

In front of the manager's eyes, there was a box containing a shattered wine glass.

"Who in the world did this to you?
"No, it just arrived a few minutes ago. ......"
"Maybe he dropped the box, or handled it roughly. ......"

"Well, you're a weak man. ......"
What's the matter, manager?

Then Hitoshi, Reiko, Daikie, and Gou came out.
Reiko heard the commotion in the back and reported it to Jin.
Since they had left the room while Daikie was serving the guests, it could be explained that they were curious about the situation and came to see what was going on.

"Ah, Count-sama, ......"
"Yes? Is this a wine glass? That's terrible. ......

"Oh, yes. It was just delivered, but when I opened it, this is what happened: ......"
You mean that what was delivered to you was already broken?

Yes.
Yes. ......
We outsourced it to a horse-drawn carriage.

A horse-drawn carriage?
Both Jin and Daikie had heard that word before.

"......Maybe that's the carriage that caused the accident?

If so, Jin and Daikin thought, it was no wonder that the glasses they were carrying ended up like this.
However, the broken glass cannot be repaired by pursuing the cause now.
This is because there is no insurance system for such things yet.

"Where was it supposed to be delivered to?"
To Viscount Gerlandus.

There. ......
Hearing this name, Daikie thought about it.

Seeing this, Gou called out to him.
"......, father, is that <

"Hm? Well, no, Viscount Garlandus is not a bad man, but he's kind of inflexible. I thought he would be very picky about ...... these late deliveries."
"...... should I fix it?"
What?

"If the glass is this big, I can probably fix it with engineering magic."
"I see. ......

Then the owner, who had apparently heard the conversation, interrupted.
"Excuse me for interrupting! ......Please forgive my profanity. Please, if you can fix it, can you fix it?
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
"......After all, it's a problem if you can't deliver this, isn't it?"
"Yes, that's already the case."
"......Okay, but at no cost. But it can't be free of charge, can it?

Yes, I understand that.
Yes, we are aware of that. Then, please prepare a room for us to work in.
Yes, I'll get it ready right away.

After such an exchange, the manager offered me a reception room in the back of the building as a workroom.

Rubina could not have been unaware of this mess, and everyone was gathered in the parlor where the workshop was located.
Fortunately, out of the 50 glasses, only 48 were broken and two were safe. So I think we can use this as a model.

"Yes, I think so. ......Yes, there is a small crack. ......<
Jin first fixed the glass, which looked as if it would chip even with a little rough handling.

"Thank you, Jin-sama. I'll try to fix it with the help of ......."
"Then, I will help you, too.

I'll help you too!
Rubina followed Jin's lead.

"Okay. Then let's fix it, me, Goh, and Rubina.
"Yes!"

"Yes!"
We'll have a sample to work from.

However, the glass is so finely processed that it is quite difficult.
