It was more than four times the size of the one that had made ...... Lotte in the past, and it had more tools and materials.
"It's ...... clean and tidy."
"Of course, I put it away when I'm not using it."
"Is that how it's supposed to be?"
Jin likes to leave things as they were when he used them.
Even if it looks messy, tools and parts are placed in a convenient and accessible place for him.
However, at the end of the year or when he gets a break, he cleans up the mess, and when he is tired of thinking of ideas or stuck, he starts to clean up for a change, so it is not really that messy.
"Nice workshop."
"...... what does that mean?"
"What?"
Jin was amused by Bina's suspicious look at him, even though he was supposed to be complimenting him.
"What do you mean by that?
"...... Really?"
"What, you don't trust me?"
"Because from Jin's point of view, my workshop is nothing but a child's play."
"Don't be so down on yourself. The value of a workshop is not in its appearance. It's who and what they make there, with what passion and enthusiasm. That's all that matters, isn't it?
Silence falls. And then.
"...... Jin, did you eat something bad?"
"...... is terrible. That's the first thing he says.
"Because, you know, ...... it's gin."
"Hey."
"......You, Beena, I'm not going to get into it now."
Erza stopped the exchange between Jin and Beena in mid-stride.
"Yes, you're right.
"I'm sorry."
They listened to what she had to say, stopped arguing, and went back to talking about the workshop.
"I've been working on Reggie for the last six months or so since he was born. It was only this year that I started using the workshop."
"Hmm, I know."
Elsa knew exactly how it felt to be a mother with an infant on her hands.
"So I started using it again when I finally had a little less work to do. And Marm helps me with the childcare.
Mallum is 41 this year. She is the oldest head chambermaid who raised Luis with her own hands. She was a nurturing mother to Luis.
She has also learned a lot from a lady-in-waiting named <>, who has experience in raising children.
Normally, when a woman has a child, she leaves her job and often does not return to work, but Sheila was an excellent maid of honor who could take care of the house, so Lewis immediately rehired her.
"It would be nice if there was some kind of maternity or paternity leave system. ......"
"Three days? A few days?"
Bina noticed Jin's mumbled words.
"Oh, maternity leave is a system where female employees can take leave before or after giving birth, and childcare leave is a system where employees can take leave to raise an infant. ......
"Hmm."
Bina did not pursue the matter any further at that moment, but it is another story that Blueland would later become famous as the birthplace of the maternity and paternity leave system, thanks to the efforts of Lewis, who was listening.
It is another story that Countess Kuzma came to be known as .

"So, are you making something now?"
"Yes, I'm making a baby carriage.
Marm told him that it was time to take him out in the open.
"I didn't know that. ......"
Jin had thought about getting a pram as a birthday present, but decided to use a material that he thought Bina might have already prepared.
Jin regretted that he had thought a little too much.
Bina turned him down softly, but he said, "Bina, she's the one who made it,
"Bina, she wants to make it so much, let her help you," Erza said.
Erza told her, "She wants to make it so much,
"So ......? I said, "Well then, let her help me.
I said, "Well then, let her help me.
Yes, since the baby carriage for Yu and Mio was a gift from Reinhardt, Jin did not have a chance to make it.
Although it could not be helped that he was not in the Ars world at the time of the birth, Jin was dissatisfied with it.
"Comfort and safety come first, don't they?
"Yes, that's right."
"That's why we want to use rubber tires, and the suspension and dampers are essential. We'll need ball bearings for light weight, and we'll need brakes and stoppers. We'll also need a sunshade. ......"
"Hey, hey, Jin!
Bina hurriedly stops Jin as he starts to run off by himself.
"You, be moderate, okay?"
Erza also told Jin that he had to be moderate.
So Jin decided to be Bina's assistant after that.
The frame is light silver. Do this ...... here and hold it down, Jin.
"Okay, here we go."
It was a new experience to be an assistant. Jin invited Elsa to join him.
"Elsa, help me, please."
"Yes."
Elsa, who was almost bored just watching, accepted with a smile.
Reiko, too, please.
"Yes, Father!"
Reiko was happy to join in.
"......"
Bina sighed secretly, but no one seemed to hear her but Reiko.
And then .
"It's done."
"It's done."
Within an hour or so, a beautiful pram had been completed.
Four-wheel independent suspension with rubber tires and suspension dampers. Ball bearings.
The frame is made of light silver, cushioned with goulashvam and lined with magi silk.
Brakes are provided for safety on hilly terrain.
Of course, it is equipped with a sunshade and a simple barrier projector to protect it from falling objects.
"......<> helped me with the pram or ......"
Bina, with a somewhat distant look in her eyes, muttered.
"Now that you mention it."
Elsa patted Bina on the shoulder and said, "It's too late for that.
She returned to the main building pushing a newly built baby carriage,
"Ah!"
"Uh-oh."
"Ah!"
Three babies greeted Jin and his family.
"Reggie, welcome. ...... Look, there's your pram. Uncle Jin, Auntie Elsa, and Auntie Reiko helped me make it!
Uncle Gin?
Auntie Elsa!
Jin and Elsa were a little shocked, though they had children, so it was understandable that they were called aunts and uncles.
