After leaving Reinhardt's booth, Jin and Erza headed for a tour of the exhibition hall.
Reinhardt wanted to go with them, but he was busy with a few visitors.
The next stop for Jin and Erza was the Stearena booth.
"Oh, Jin-kun, you came. Welcome, Erza-san!
The centerpiece of the Stearina booth was the crystal golem ......, Serene, a blue topaz golem.
Its blue transparent body, coupled with its smooth feminine body line, looks mysterious.
There are also statues, vases, and accessories made of crystal, indicating that Stearina specializes in the processing of precious stones and gems.
"This pendant is very beautiful.
A pendant head made of a light blue stone, probably an aquamarine. It was cut in a pear shape, like a pear or a teardrop.
"Oh, that's it. That's the pendant I made from the leftover pieces from the Serene."
I thought it was aquamarine, but it turned out to be blue topaz. Still, the color was beautiful, and Elsa gazed at it.
"Oh, is that so?"
Ste-Alaina, who had been watching Erza and Jin's faces in turn, smiled knowingly.
"Jin-kun, I want to give you this as a thank you for what you did for me before.
Stearina presented the pendant head to Jin.
"What?"
Just give it to me.
Half forcing it into Jin's hand, Stearina winked at him and said, "If you don't want it, Jin, you can have it,
"If you don't want it, Jin, you can give it to someone else.
With that, she pushed Jin and Erza out of the booth. At this moment, two female visitors came to the booth and started to ask questions to Stearina, so Jin and Elsa went out into the aisle.
"......"
Jin, who had been staring at the pendant head in his hand, finally seemed to understand Stearina's intention,
"This stone has a similar color to Erza's eyes, doesn't it? If you like, I can give this pendant head to Erza.
He offered the pendant head to her.
"Yes, thank you, brother Jin.
Erza accepted it with a smile.
Ste-Alaina, who was looking at the two of them sideways, smiled softly.
"Hey, Gin, and Erza.
"Hey, Saki."
They were walking to see where to go next when they met Saki.
"Would you like to take a look around with me?"
Jin invites Saki to join him.
"Yes, that would be great. I'd appreciate it if you could explain everything to me.
So now the three of us (and one of the bodies) are going on a tour of the exhibition hall.
"What's up with Aal?"
"Yeah, he's staying at my booth."
It seemed that Saki, like Jin and the others, had left Aal to tour the exhibition hall.
"I wonder what's going on over there?"
Saki pointed to a booth where many young customers were gathered.
"Let's go there.
As we approached the booth, we found that it was crammed with ...... dolls of various sizes, most of which were in size.
"This is ......."
They were dolls that could best be described as figurines.
The smallest was about 10 centimeters, the largest about 50 centimeters.
They were made of various materials, including gold, silver, copper, marble, and crystal.
Most of the works were of girls, and they were all unclothed. But the most important parts were cleverly posed in such a way as to be hidden.
Jin and Saki were surprised that Erza would make such a joke.
But it must have been because she had returned to her home country. Jin thought so, and inwardly he was glad that he had brought her along.
"Oh, isn't that Jin-dono there?"
Jin was lost in thought when a voice called out to him. The voice came from the back of the booth. That would mean that he was the creator of the doll.
"My name is Clark Lambda, magecraftsman of the Kingdom of Celuloa.
Lambda, or the eleventh engineer. He is about 30 years old.
Short-cropped brown hair, brown eyes. He has a featureless face and a medium build. At a quick glance, the impression is not impressive.
The modeling is remarkable, but due to the biased content, Jin thinks it is a bit rude to rank it only 11th.
But they don't let it bother them, and greet each other.
I'm Jin Nido.
"Well, it's a pleasure to talk to you in person. Was that Smith the mini-craftsman? I envy you who can make such a small golem.
After a pause, Clark clenched his fists,
"...... if only these dolls would move!"
He sounded as if his soul were crying out.
"Brother Jin, it's going to be fun over there too!"
"That's true, Jin, I'm going over there."
Erza and Saki left the place with ease. Jin, realizing this, also left the place to follow them.
"Mr. Clark, I still want to look around the venue, so I'm going to call it a day. I'll see you later.
"Ah, Jin-dono!"
Jin quickly left the venue, pretending not to hear any words to stop him.
"Well, there are all kinds of people here, aren't there?"
Saki laughed at Jin as he caught up with her.
After visiting several more booths, Jin and his friends decided to go to the alchemists' area since there was not much time left.
The location was also in the same main hall.
Naturally, the first stop was Saki's booth.
Aaru was there, taking care of the booth.
"Is that the ...... exhibit?"
There was a display of rare minerals that Saki has collected so far.
"Yeah, I've already submitted that one," she said.
The paper has already been submitted and will be evaluated at the end of the expo.
"I collected these stones because I was interested in the fact that they always break into a certain shape.
