"You have wonderful golems and automata!" said LeGrey Gibbs von Vesuvius, the Minister of Magical Technology of the Shoro Kingdom.
LeGrey Gibbs von Vesuvius, Minister of Magical Technology of the Shoro Empire, said happily.
"Your automata of a girl and a boy are especially wonderful ......".
LeGrey looks at Reiko and Edgar and sighs.
"The legendary automata, Miss Reiko, and Edgar, who was made by the fine master of Magecraft Meister Jin Nido, are modeled after Edgar! The fact that they share the same name is maniacal and really good!"
"LeGrey, you're still the same."
Rhodes said with some exasperation as he took a sip of his tea.
"Ha, yes, that's right. I hope the sea water doesn't get too sweet!"
LeGrey says without a hint of apology.
Jin and the others, ...... especially Rubina and Shu, just looked at each other with their eyes black and white. It's not surprising, since they have no experience in this kind of exchange.
LeGray then tells Rhodes,
"You are here to watch the golem competition tomorrow, aren't you?
Rhodes answered in the affirmative, of course. Rhodes, of course, answered in the affirmative.
"That's all right. There are plenty of seats available for guests of honor.
It would be a national embarrassment if there were not enough seats for the guests, so it seems that the seats are set aside with plenty of room.
At the same time, it is also a matter of public image to have a conspicuous number of empty seats, so the empty seats are filled under the guise of escorting the guests.
In return for the escort, they are willing to take a seat under the guise of .
Thank you.
"Thank you for what? ...... After this, we'll take a closer look at your new golem, <, you say? Let me take a good look at your new golem."
"Yeah, sure."
Rhodes and Legray are having an easy conversation between old friends. Jin envied them a little.
"The guests are ...... in charge, Juna. Please show them to their rooms.
"Yes, sir. ...... sir, please come this way."
The slender-looking Juna bowed gracefully and led Jin and the others into the guest room.
(She is quite an automaton. (Hmmm, she is quite a good automaton. But her power is just like a human's or a little bit better.)
Jin saw through Juna's specifications with his discerning eyes.
"Please use this room.
We were shown to a large guest room with six bedrooms. There were three bedrooms on each side of the living room.
In addition, there is a washroom, a toilet, and a shower room.
"This is a modern room.
Jin was impressed. This is indeed the residence of the Minister of Magical Arts and Technology.
I'll take this room!
Rubina chose the bedroom in the east corner.
Shu chose the west corner, and Jin chose the room near the west window.
After putting their luggage down, Jin and Shu sit down on the sofa in the hall.
Then the glamorous Yuana came in.
"My name is Yuana, and I'm here to take care of your guests. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
YUANA stood by the door.
The guests had nothing special in mind at the moment,
"Where will Rhodes stay?"
Jin thought of one question to ask.
"Yes, Master Rhodes will be here shortly.
While he was answering, Rhodes and Uragan entered the room.
"Jin-san ......, I will stay here too.
With these words, Rhodes put his luggage in the room near the east window.
"Lunch will be ready soon. I told him that I ate a light meal on the way here, so there won't be anything too heavy.
True to his word, porridge was brought to the room.
Of course, it was not just porridge. There was also miso soup, an ankake sauce, an egg, oshinko (Japanese pickles), tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce and soy sauce), and salt as accompaniments, so that the guests could enjoy their favorite flavors.
"Tsukudani or ......"
"Your father introduced it, didn't he?"
Reiko tells me in a whisper. It seems that Jin introduced it 400 years ago.
Since dried bonito flakes and soy sauce are assumed to exist, Jin imagines that it must have been after the trade with Mitsuho was in full swing.
Jin tried it, too, and found that it was made with a Japanese-style broth. Of course, the word "Japanese style" does not exist in this world, but it seems to be "konlong style".
"Oh, I spread this too in the past, didn't I? ......"
Jin was happy to know that he could now eat delicious porridge thanks to that.
"It's also good as rice porridge mixed with miso soup.
The bowl was very small, so three or four cups could be easily eaten. So Jin tried mixing miso soup with the rice and making it like rice porridge, and it was also delicious.
"I guess that's why the miso soup is a little thicker."
"Jin-sama, it's delicious!"
Shu also seemed to like the rice porridge.
"This salt is also very good, isn't it?"
Rhodes said in admiration after eating the porridge with a simple salt taste.
"Well, it tastes like algae salt," he said.
Jin wondered if it was algae salt from somewhere in the region.
Reiko takes a little taste of the salt. Reiko's mouth is equipped with a sophisticated sensor for analysis.
"Father, this salt is rock salt, isn't it?
"I see, rock salt."
Rock salt is often formed when seawater evaporates and crystallizes due to the upheaval of an ancient sea.
The salt is often crystallized from the evaporation of seawater from uplifted areas that were once seas in prehistoric times, and the salt is sometimes colored.
"In addition to sodium chloride and potassium chloride, it seems to contain magnesium chloride, iodine, glutamic acid, inosinic acid, aspartic acid, etc."
"I see. ......, Reiko, how did you know the names of those substances?"
Jin was not good at chemistry, so his knowledge of chemical reaction formulas and chemical substances was limited.
"Yes. <
"I see... I see..."
Shuki Tsutsui Tsezi wandered in from modern Japan, the same as or similar to Jin.
As a medical student, he brought with him books on medicine, pharmacology, and nutrition.
Reiko had accumulated this knowledge during her previous visits to the library in Mitsuho.
"Oh, it was delicious.
"Yes, it was."
"You're satisfied."
Rubina, Shu, Jin, and Rhodes were all satisfied with their lunch.
It seems that the Shoro Kingdom is putting a lot of effort into exploring food culture, partly because of Jin's influence.
After the meal, they finished with hojicha (roasted green tea).
Yes, this tea is freshly roasted and delicious.
Jin and the others were all satisfied with their lunch.

"Jin-san, what do you want to do in the afternoon?
"Well, let's see. "Well, I'd like to look around the town a little bit.
Jin thought for a moment before answering.
"Okay. Then let's rent a carriage from LeGrey.
Rhodes said, "If you want to go to the center of Leuthart from here, it would be better to take a carriage instead of walking.
"What about Rubina and Shu?"
"I want to go with Master Jin!"
"I want to go with Jin-sama!" "I want to go with ......, too.
So I said,
"Okay, I'll go with you then, and I'll be accompanied by Reiko and Edgar.
Jin explains that touring the city with a golem is a little too conspicuous.
"Right. I'm afraid Blitz and Donner will have to stay behind.
