Jin who took on the task of making the sword without thinking about the material.
"...... that bothers me too."
Erza was equally troubled.
"There is a way to have it sent from Horai Island, though."
"......If they ask where I got it from..."
In that case, there's no excuse.
"......That's a problem."
The deadline is tomorrow morning before 9:00. It is now 5:00 PM. Jin and Erza should be able to make it in time, but the lack of materials is a problem even before they can make it.
"Father. Why don't you ask Mr. Yalmer?"
"Eh, Järmer?"
Yes. He just came back from Dali a few minutes ago, didn't he?
Järmer Balz Gamma is a magecraftsman in the Kingdom of Celuloa, and I believe he has a workshop in the castle," Reiko says.
"So ....... That's the only way.
Going down to the castle to buy materials would be problematic.
So Jin and Reiko decided to go to Yalmar's place first.
"Well, I guess he is on the first floor.
Yes, father, there is a workshop building in the courtyard on the west side of the first floor.
Oh, I see. Are you familiar with ......?
Reiko nodded, happy to be of service to Jin.
"Yes. Since the other day, a group of Shinobi have been inspecting the inside of the castle on your order.
I see.
Except for a few areas that have been magically warded, the survey has been completed.
Magical ...... warding?
Yes, except that an alarm goes off when you pass through one of them.
Jin heard this and tried to imagine the configuration.
"But, even if a rat or an insect gets through it, the alarm will go off, right?"
"Yes. It probably won't react to anything below a certain size."
"I guess so. If that's the case, wouldn't the Shinobi Forces be able to pass through it?"
Reiko countered Jin's suggestion that a five-centimeter tall intelligence golem unit would be able to pass through.
"That is quite conceivable. However, the old man is cautious about the possibility of it reacting to <> or <>."
"I see."
If Lao Tzu had the information processing capability as Lao Tzu, he would be able to analyze the nature of such wards, but it was too much to expect such a 5 centimeter-long Shinobi Unit to be able to do so.
"Besides, about 30 percent of such rooms are known to us by peeping into them when people come and go, and most of the time they are not very big rooms. Like the locker room or the king's bedroom."
While whispering this conversation, Jin and Reiko arrived at the first floor.
There was a guard at the west service entrance, but he let Jin and Reiko through as soon as he saw them.
"There it is."
Reiko pointed to a workshop the size of a small gymnasium at the end of the courtyard.
"It's huge. ...... but if they are making something like <>, it should be at least that big.
As Jin and the others approached, Yalmar came outside, apparently having spotted it through a window.
"What is this, Jin-dono? What are you doing here? Well, please come in."
Yalmer looked surprised, but he invited Jin and Reiko into the workshop and offered them a chair.
"We have never invited you in here before, Jin-dono."
At the back of the workshop was a reception room.
He told me that this workshop also served as his residence.
"Welcome."
A cup filled with taeyehoe was placed in front of Jin and Reiko.
"Thank you. But Reiko doesn't drink.
But the unexpected reply came.
"Yes, I know. But it's a courtesy."
I looked at the person who put down the cup and saw a beautiful blue-eyed woman with long blond hair pulled back in a ponytail.
