Magicraft Meister Part 3

Before noon on July 7, Elsa and the twins traveled to Leuthart's mansion via the Warp Gate.

They are accompanied by Soleil and Luna.

Since Reiko is with Jin, they are assigned to these roles.

And <> is also sent into the sky over Leuthart in an airship with a temporarily altered appearance of <>.

This would give more credibility to the fact that Erza was sent by <>.

The landed on the roof of Jin's house for all to see.

The plan is to have it drop us off at Erza's parents' house after this.

They are pretending that they are taking a break for now.

The disguised remained on top of the house for about an hour to show itself to the residents of Loisart, then rose into the sky again, flew northward, and disappeared over Lake Tosmo.

Erza then visited her parents' home in Eksi. < had taken off and disappeared as soon as Erza, the twins, and their luggage had been unloaded.

"Well, Erza!　Chloe, Mio, come here!"

"I'm home, Mother."

Marlene, Erza's stepmother, or foster mother, greeted her at Ekki's parents' house.

"Hello, Grandma."

"Hello, Grandma!"

Chloe and Mio also said hello.

"Yes, hello. ......2 you two have grown up in a short time. Come on in."

"Yes."

Elsa was literally at home in her own house and was filled with nostalgia,

"I heard that my brother Moritz had a baby, so I came to congratulate him.

She explained the reason for her sudden visit.

"Yes. Yesterday evening, I received a call from Reuthert that you were coming. Thank you, Elsa."

"No problem. ...... and here's a little something to celebrate."

Behind Elsa, Soleil and Luna were carrying a large box.

"This is for your mother.

First, Elsa presents a potted cattleya to Marlene.

"Oh, it's beautiful. Thank you. I'm so happy."

Next is a gift for the birth of the baby: .......

"But first, let me ask you a question. ...... Ingrid was supposed to be your maid of honor, what's going to happen to her?"

Marlene seemed to understand the meaning of Elsa's question.

"Don't worry. She would be adopted by a family somewhere and then married properly.

As was the case with Bina in the past, when a commoner marries into a noble family, it is necessary for her to be adopted by some other noble family before she is registered as their daughter.

This was not a rare case, but the reality was that there were many second and third wives who did so.

"......How are you feeling, my sister-in-law?"

Elsa called her "sister-in-law. Her mother Marlene understood Elsa's feelings, so she did not say anything about the way she called her sister-in-law.

"Yes, it's okay. The secretary golem <> gave me last month has done a lot for me. < midwife."

<<> is a golem that Jin and Erza gave to Moritz to help him with his office work.

It seems that it was useful in many ways this time.

In addition to office work, she can also use healing magic up to the intermediate level, considering Moritz's weak health.

<, Erza thought, she would be able to provide a level of comfort.

"She's awake now. Please see her.

Marlene, her mother-in-law, told Elsa to go to Chloe and Mio,

"Chloe, Mio, be a good girl and wait for me.

"Be good, Chloe.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Elsa asked Soleil and Luna to take the twins to Ingrid's room, accompanied by her mother-in-law Marlene. First of all, she brought flowers and fruits to congratulate the Randalls' maid of honor.

"My dear Elsa!　You are very welcome. Please excuse me for being dressed like this..."

said Ingrid, who was sitting up in bed and feeding the baby.

I'm sorry, I'm almost finished.

The baby's face was still red and crumpled, but she was relieved to see that the baby was drinking well and seemed to be in good health.

After the baby finished drinking, Ingrid patted him on the back to make him burp, and handed him to the maid of honor.

"I am sorry to leave you like this.

"No, don't worry about it. ......Better yet, how are you feeling?"

......I'm still a little lazy.

Hearing this, Elsa decides to see the doctor.

"<>...... Oh, this is ......"

Then a middle-aged woman came in.

"How are you feeling, Mr. Ingrid?　...... Oh, you have a visitor?　Oh, yes?　Could it be that you are Elsa, the court-appointed healer (Reichsanwalt)>>?　It is an honor to meet you!

...... who are you?

I'm Melia Caret, a midwife recently hired by this family.

"Yes. Thank you for ...... bringing my baby out safely."

"Thank you very much. <

"Hmm. ...... are you aware that your sister-in-law is anemic?"

Elsa mentioned the results of the medical examination.

"Yes. So we are planning a menu with meat including liver and iron-containing vegetables.

Hearing this, Elsa was satisfied.

"Yes, that's good. I've got something even better for you at ......."

"What is it?"

Elsa turned around and picked up the fruit basket that the maid of honor was holding.

"Here, sister-in-law, this is for you.

The basket contained Persica from Horai Island.

"Well, it looks delicious!

Ingrid was delighted, and right after that she noticed that Erza was calling her.

"Erza-sama, I'm ......."

Elsa smiles and says softly, "You are Maurice, Maurice.

"You are my brother Moritz's wife-to-be. That makes you my sister-in-law."

Hearing these words, Ingrid's eyes welled up and she bowed her head.

"Thank you for ...... your kindness."

Elsa smiled and pointed at the fruit.

It is rich in nutrients. ...... Someone peel it for her."

Someone, please, peel it for her," Elsa says, "so she can eat it right away,

I'll do it.

Marlene picked up a Persica.

"Mistress!　What a waste!

Mistress, we would have done it for you...

No, let me do it!

While Ingrid and the maids of honor were being discourteous, Marlene peeled the skin off. Elsa quickly held out a plate and Marlene cut the peeled persica into eight pieces.

She put a fork to the plate,

"Come on, eat them".

Then she gave it to Ingrid with a fork.

Thank you, Mistress.

Ingrid took a piece,

"Oh, it's delicious!　I've never tasted such a delicious persica!

She was overjoyed and took it into her mouth one after another.

In no time, Ingrid had finished eating the persica she had had peeled,

"Ah, I think I'm feeling more energetic now," she said, smiling.

Ingrid smiled, saying, "Ah, I feel more energetic.
