Magicraft Meister Part 2

The day after delivering the baby gift to Reinhard, Jin and Erza flew to the Franz Kingdom by .

Their destination was the royal castle.

Since this is the least familiar country in the Lesser Antilles, the old man had instructed them to guard the castle more strictly than ever before.

First of all, the annual parade is being held.

In the sky are four , which have disappeared due to .

Among the crowd are 10 Quintas of the 5th column.

The <> are also fully mobilized for the first time in a long time.

In addition, they are monitored from space by .

In addition to this thoroughness, they are accompanied by Reiko.

I guess this is the last time.

It's been a long time.

Jin and Elsa are whispering to each other as they wave to each other in the open carriage.

Before they knew it, it was already September.

The approach of a long-period planet is only about a month and a half away.

So far, of Yunie, who is in charge of astronomical observations, has only reported that there are no abnormalities.

"I'm tired of being thankful for ....... Is this our fault?"

"Mainly me. I thought I'd live a little more discreetly."

Jin swallowed the line, "How did this happen?

"I guess it all started when I set out for the Shoro kingdom with Erza and the others."

"...... my fault?"

"No, it's not. No, it's not. I'm the one who chose it. I'm the one who did a lot of things along the way. I guess it was inevitable. ...... I don't really like to use the word ."

"Why not?"

"Because it's like giving up when you say 'it's your destiny'."

That's the same as stopping to think, Jin told Erza.

"But people are weak, and even if they usually think that way, when they are feeling weak, they want to give up."

"Somehow, I understand."

Erza shivers, remembering the despair she felt when she was once trapped by the Unification Party (Unifiler). Jin gently hugs her shoulder.

"But for now, I am thankful to for bringing me together with Erza.

Jin is quite deft in whispering such lines while waving his hands at the parade.

Well, the waving is just a mechanical repetition, but 90% of his attention is on Erza.

After the parade was over, Jin, Elsa, and Reiko were welcomed by Catherine de Lafayette, the mother of the country.

"It's been so long. It's nice to see you again.

"It's nice to see you again." "It's nice to see you too.

"You know, the knee you treated me with before, it hasn't hurt once since then.

I'm glad to hear that.

It was when Zion and Lucas came out of the demon territory.

Jin and Erza were there when the carriage had an accident and met her.

She said she had a pain in her knee, and Erza healed her with appropriate healing magic.

It was not a temporary or temporary treatment, which means that the pain has not recurred yet.

I have heard about your success.

Catherine's calm atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing for both Jin and Elsa.

"I don't think you two like such ostentatious celebrations. I know you two don't like such ostentatious festivities. You have to understand that.

Yes, I understand.

They are talking over a cup of fragrant tea.

"Your Majesty has told me a lot about the World Conference. The Kunlun Island is a wonderful place, isn't it?

"Yes. I hope I can invite you there someday.

Yes, I'd like to visit there when I have a chance.

It was Catherine's consideration that allowed us to spend such a leisurely time together.

September 5 was the day of the wedding banquet, but it was smaller than any of the other banquets Jin and the others had attended in the six months since the king had been replaced.

The number of nobles who came to greet the guests was only a little more than two hands.

The time was short, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

<

The only tense moments were when the current king, Lotharus de Lafayette, came to pour wine for them and when he greeted them in front of the assembled nobles.

"<> I am Jin Nido and my wife Elsa. We are very grateful to you for hosting such a banquet for us.

Although the party was in the form of a standing buffet, simple chairs ...... and stools were provided everywhere so that the guests could take a break at their leisure.

Jin and Elsa were overjoyed to have experienced a relaxed wedding party at the very end of the day.

They thought they might be a bit tired since they hardly knew anyone in the Franz Kingdom, but they talked to each other moderately and took a break moderately, so both of them could enjoy the banquet in a natural way.

The reception ended without incident and a calm atmosphere passed.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Oh, it was more fun than I thought it would be. ......?

"I agree."

After the reception, Jin and Elsa were relaxing on the sofa in the guest room as if enjoying the afterglow.

They felt and savored the emptiness after the lively time was over.

"Tomorrow, I hear there will be a tea party called <>. That will be the end of our visit to each country."

"....... When I think of it, I feel ...... a little sad."

"Yeah, I guess so."

Then Reiko made a pot of tea.

"It's almost bedtime, so I made hojicha tea.

"Thank you, Reiko."

"Thank you, Reiko."

Houjicha is low in caffeine and tannin, so even if you drink it before going to bed, it is not likely to keep you awake.

"Oh, it's delicious."

"Delicious."

In Jin's case, the aroma is rather calming. Elsa also liked it.

"......It was welcomed in more countries than I expected. ......"

"Hmm. I knew it... Jin is a Magecraft Meister."

"No, if you put it that way, Erza as a healer has also made various achievements in various countries.

"It's because of the fame of the two of you, isn't it?"

Reiko unusually interrupted their conversation.

"Yes, that may be so."

"Yes, I guess so."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The autumn night breeze was blowing pleasantly through the window, and the autumn constellations were shining quietly in the night sky.
