Jin was relaxing with the twins in the meadow in the village of Kaina.
"Well, this is also your work."
Of course, Erza was with him.
"Otoo-chan!"
"Otoshan!"
The twins were playing, running around on the soft summer grass, Reiko following behind to protect them.
"Oh, Jin-sama!"
Then came Barrow, the herdsman, chasing after Kashmir.
He was from the Shoro region and had been working in the Kingdom of Selroa, but when his master was politically ousted, he found himself on the street. He and his childhood friend and now wife, Bele, were picked up by Jin and became servants in the Nido household until now.
Cashmirs are herbivores native to the former Leonard Kingdom, in essence cashmere goats. In recent years, they have been kept in the village of Kaina.
The village of Kayna is close to the former Leonard's Kingdom, and the climate is similar to that of the former Leonard's Kingdom, making it easy to raise them.
The goats are used to make the woolen fabric, which is also called in this world, but since the necessary amount of hair is only 150-25 The profitable production is still a matter of trial and error, since only 150 to 25 grams of wool is required from each cow.
It takes about four goats to make one sweater, and they only have six goats.
"Hey, Barrow. Is Behré here?
"Yes, I'm spinning cashmere into yarn at home.
The combing of the cashmere hair is done with the loose hairs that have been collected.
On modern earth, cashmere goats with < in their hair are killed before they reach the age of two, and only the best are bred (50-80% of young goats are culled). (It is said that 50-80% of young goats are culled), but the Cashmere goats here are different.
All six goats were pure white and had long hair, probably due to the good environment and grass. However, the hair used for cashmere is not the conspicuous bristles, but the fluffy soft hair growing at the base of the bristles.
In short, it is similar to the difference between feathers and down in feathers.
With Jin's support in engineering magic, there will be no waste and the industry may be more friendly to cashmills .......
Cashmir breeding and cashmere industry was still in its infancy.
"Hey, honey!"
Then came Hannah.
"Mr. Eckert of the Tecles Trading Company is here!
"Oh, the chairman of the board himself?
Mr. Eckardt Tecles was formerly a wealthy merchant in the Kingdom of Celuloa, but he had been exiled to the Shoro Kingdom due to the oppressive rule of Richard Valois de Celuloa, the father of the current king, and had founded the Tecles Trading Company there.
He is a man who is occasionally called upon by the palace to give advice on economic policy.
"Hello, Mr. Jin, it's been a while.
Mr. Eckert is looking well, isn't he?
"Ha ha, thanks to you, my days are full of life.
Jin and I have known each other for quite a long time, and we talk to each other easily.
"Today, I have a business meeting with Eric's company. I thought it would be nice if Jin-san was there, so I came here and he fit the bill perfectly.
I was lucky," said Eckert in a good mood.
"By the way, the other day, His Imperial Highness Ernst visited the GSP factory.
"I heard so. I heard so.
"Haha, you have a hell of an ear, don't you, Jin-san?"
He himself is also a man who values information and is using the that Tenkunhan brought back from Mitsuho to run a kind of in Morse code-like operation.
This allows information to be transmitted to faraway places.
Jin, or rather <>, will have this studied.
"Ah, Mr. Eckardt, is it this way?"
Then Eric came in. His wife Barbara was with him.
"Mr. Eric, I'm sorry to bother you. Mr. Jin, I will leave you now.
Eckardt bowed to Jin and left with Eric. But Barbara remained.
"Barbara, what's wrong?"
Barbara, who is asked by Elsa, turns her cheeks a little and asks her.
"......"
Elsa nodded,
"<>"
She cast a spell of examination on Barbara. Then she said.
She told Barbara, "...... congratulations.
She told Barbara " is 2 months old, just a little while ago".
"......! I knew it! Thank you, Elsa!"
"Yes."
Barbara smiled and walked away quickly after Eric.
"The village of Kaina will be lively again."
Elsa muttered as she watched Barbara's back.
"That's right!"
Hannah agreed. It's nice to see the number of young children increasing these days.
Then Chloe and Mio waddled over. Reiko was with them.
Just then the bell of Nido Castle struck noon.
"Shall we go home for lunch?"
"Yes."
Jin picked up Chloe and Erza picked up Mio.
"Onii-chan, Chloe and Mio both started talking very early, didn't they? And they've already started walking, I think it's great. Maybe it's because they're your children.
Hannah said as she looked at Yu and Mio. It is true that Jin is a little more precocious than the other children in Kaina Village, but I think that it is probably just a matter of personal differences.
, and since it is said that children grow up to be "a great talent and a late bloomer", Jin has decided not to worry too much about it.
On his way home, he came across the village headman, Giebeck, and Sally walking side by side. They were accompanied by their adopted daughter, Ru, who was now 14 years old. They were going from house to house, talking about medical examinations and taxes.
"Hey Jin, Elsa."
"Hello, Dr. Sallee. "Hello, Mr. Mayor.
Hello, Lu.
Hello.
They greet each other.
Erza took half a step toward them, but stopped what she was doing.
"What are you doing?"
Jin asked suspiciously, and Elsa answered in a whisper.
(I was going to tell you that Barbara had a baby, but I thought it would be better to hear it from her own mouth.)
"Yeah, that's true."
Jin laughed and agreed.
"Welcome back, Jin-san, Elsa, Hannah-chan. They are all ready for you.
When I returned home, I was greeted by Meane. Today's lunch was sandwiches.
It was a sandwich with thinly sliced ham, vegetables, egg salad, etc., and had a lot of different flavors.
It was a perfect summer lunch with a glass of cold lemon squash.
The twins are weaned on soft-boiled porridge, apple and peach paste.
"It's so peaceful.
These are the words that come out of my mouth.
It is a little painful to think of the world 400 years from now, but it is also true that there is nothing Jin can do about it now.
Then, I have no choice but to do what I can do now as best I can.
"Maybe a support magic machine that will wake up after I come back here..."
Such an idea suddenly occurred to me.
At that moment, Chloe, who was sitting on my lap, turned around.
"Otoo-chan!"
"Oh, Chloe, let's clean up around your mouth..."
I wiped the area around his mouth covered with paste, and Yuu started to make fun of me.
"Okasyan!"
Mio, on the other hand, clutches at Erza's breast, not wanting to be weaned yet.
(Aren't boys usually weaned later than girls?)
(I thought boys usually weaned later than girls.) I am not that knowledgeable about this, nor have I seen statistics. It is just a myth that I have heard.
"Life is the accumulation of living life to the fullest in the present moment, isn't it?
Erza agrees with Jin who unintentionally mutters to himself.
I think so. I want to live my life without regrets."
"That's kind of philosophical, isn't it?"
Hannah laughs.
Jin-san is always working very hard.
Her mother-in-law Meane laughed and said.
"Your father is in good hands with us. You have nothing to worry about.
Reiko said proudly.
"Thank you, everyone."
Jin looked up at the sky through the window.
"Shall we go to Milowina's tomorrow?"
"Yes. ...... is she in the moon right now?"
She is now so strong that she spends half the month in her house in Yunie and the other half touring around on Ars.
"It's so peaceful."
This is the third time today that Jin has said this.
White clouds were floating in the blue sky, and the village of Kaina was about to welcome the full-blown summer.
