After breakfast, everyone in the <> presented gifts to the two.
Jin told them not to worry about it, but no one listened to him.
Jin said, "It's our feeling. Jin, Elsa, congratulations! We, the , congratulate you both!
Reinhardt spoke on behalf of everyone.
"First of all, here is a gift from me and Bertsche.
With these words, Reinhardt held out a small package.
"Thank you."
Jin accepted it.
"This is a ...... sword, isn't it?"
Jin had an idea. Of course, so did Elsa.
A dagger worn by noblewomen.
<
Once when I stayed in the Kingdom of Egelea. For Erza's birthday, Jin made the dagger she wanted and gave it to her through Reinhardt.
At that time, Reinhardt gave Erza these words.
"I know it's not as good as Jin's, but I put my heart into it. I would be honored if you could accept it."
Jin opened the package and took out the dagger.
"Clean. ......"
The silvery-white scabbard was decorated with gold and a gold and modest decoration, and an aquamarine stone, Erza's favorite, was inlaid at the tip of the hilt.
"Elsa, pull it out."
Jin handed the dagger to Elsa.
"Hmm."
Erza receives the sword and gently pulls it out of its scabbard.
"...... is wonderful."
"It's beautiful."
The blade was made of mithril silver and shone brightly.
"Thank you, brother Rai. I will take good care of it.
Erza returned the sword to its scabbard and thanked him again.
"Next, me and Beena will go first."
Count Kuzma presented her with a pure white dress and a man's outfit, also pure white.
"Beena put her heart and soul into this dress. I hope you like them."
"Oh, honey, you don't have to say that. ......!
Beena blushes and gets flustered. Jin smiled at her, thinking that she had not changed even after becoming a countess.
"Thank you. I'll wear it in the Kingdom of Egelea. I'll wear it in the Kingdom of Egelea. ...... No, I'd better show you now, wouldn't I?
Jin said and left the room with Elsa.
The two returned about ten minutes later.
"Oh ......!"
"You look great!"
The design of this dress accentuates Elsa's slim body line, and the frills are modest, making her look a little more mature.
Jin's clothes can be described as an Egelean-style suit. It is similar to a frock coat in modern earthly clothing.
"Thank you, Beena, Luis."
Erza, on the other hand, was not so concerned about what she wore, so she was grateful for such a gift.
"Jin, this is our gift to you.
"I and Toa searched for it together.
A gift from Mr. and Mrs. Toa Stearina. It was a pepper.
"We found it the other day when we were in Mitzvah.
With this, the range of dishes will be expanded even more.
Jin and the fifth row of quintas had yet to get their hands on any chili peppers.
"Thank you!"
Jin received it happily and handed it to the Topaz leader.
After this, Topaz and the others begin their struggle to keep it and grow the same thing, but that's another story.
There was a plant on Horai Island that looked like wasabi, or rather could be used in place of wasabi, but it was more of a . It is more like than wasabi.
But when Saki put it on a plate and presented it to Jin, it looked like horseradish to his eyes as well.
"It grows near a clear stream, and when you grate it, it's spicy and tingles in your nose. The flower is also in the Brassicaceae family ......? It looks like ......, so I think it should be horseradish."
Saki, who is not telling you that she actually ate a lot of it and writhed around for a while without being able to stop crying.
"Oh, thank you, Saki!
"Oh, thank you, Saki! I've got the seedlings and seeds, so I'll give them to Topaz and the others later.
Horseradish prefers cold climates, but the highlands of Horai Island are cooler, and Topaz is in charge of agriculture, so he will be able to create a suitable environment for its cultivation.
I'm looking forward to it."
Jin's obsession with Japanese food has not disappeared after all.
"This is from me and my father. I hope you like it.
Marcia humbly presented a small dark brown rectangular plate.
"?"
Elsa tilts her head. But Hitoshi recognized the texture.
"...... chocolate?"
He puts a piece in his mouth, and it tastes a little different from what he remembers, but it is what he calls <>.
"Wow! It's definitely chocolate."
"Jin told me that Koohe tasted like cocoa, so I tried a few things."
Jin said simply, but he was sure he would have been busy between shipyard and golem boat races.
"That's all we can do. I'll give you the notes on the manufacturing method, so you can go to Horai Island and make a refined version of it.
"Thank you, Marcia. ...... You can make a lot of money if you sell the chocolate or sell the process.
Needless to say, the Peridos would soon establish their own method of making chocolate, but it would be a while before it would become a Potrock specialty.
"I'll take it then."
Vivian raised her hand.
"Here you go."
She holds out a booklet.
"This is a compilation of religious beliefs from 500 years ago. It's a bit of guesswork.
Jin took it and thanked him.
"Thank you. It's very helpful!"
The old man's processing capacity is high, but his thought patterns are inherited from Jin, so he sometimes feels limited in completing the past in this way.
On the other hand, Vivienne, being a , could sometimes make conjectures from a point of view that the "Mere Old Man" could not make.
"Here's one for me."
Guth offered another booklet.
"This is a compilation of the legends of Husho, Mitsuho, and others I have heard since I came here.
This booklet, he said, was a rough sketch of the history of the area from the time of the ancestors to the present day.
Such historical and anthropological materials are valuable.
Thank you, Goose.
It is a thoughtful gift, knowing that Jin would not be pleased with a half-hearted one.
"Oh, um, this is for me."
The last gift was from Licia. From her, a bouquet of flowers.
"Wow, they're beautiful!"
Elsa's face broke into a smile.
"They're nothing compared to your gifts," she said.
"No, I'm glad. Thank you, Licia.
It was orthodox, but still a classic.
Meine and Milowina, who are the mother and guardian of the children, respectively, do not give gifts like everyone else, but instead offer a few words.
Elsa, I know I have not been a good mother to you. But I am happy that you have given me the joy of sending my daughter off as a mother. Please take care of Elsa, ...... Jin-sama."
"Mother ......"
"Mee...... no, mother-in-law, please continue to take care of me."
Jin and Erza bowed their heads toward Meane.
"I am the last survivor of Leonard's kingdom, it seems. I was not able to weave a life, but you, Jin and Erza, you are different. May your lives be spun and passed on to future generations.
Horai Island was filled with the applause of the .
