After Saki's birthday party was held on Horai Island, Saki, her father Toa, and her stepmother Stearina returned to their house on the outskirts of Banne in the Shoro Kingdom.
Instead of going directly to the warp gate on the property, they traveled with Reinhardt to the Lanken Haos in the village of Kaltz, Reinhardt's domain, and returned by carriage from there.
Because of the time difference, 8:00 p.m. in Horai Island is 2:40 p.m. in Banneh. It is now 3:30 p.m. because of the time difference.
Welcome home.
Goose Minakata was waiting for the three of them.
He told Guth that they had celebrated his birthday at Jin's house in Loisart.
Then they were taken by airship to the nearby ...... estate of Reinhardt and returned by carriage from there.
There is no problem since there is no mistake that I came back from Reinhardt's territory.
And a small celebration will be held here as well.
However, we are congratulated again at the dinner table.
"Happy birthday, Saki!
Goose congratulates her.
"Thank you, Goose."
Saki is happy to hear Goose congratulate her.
"Happy birthday to you, miss.
By the way, the Eschenbachs now have a human servant in addition to Aal, the automata.
They were hired because of the increase in the number of residents. Or should I say, I hired them back.
Thank you, Lorna.
This is Lorna, who used to work for the Eschenbachs.
She had quit her job because she was surprised by Saki's lacquer-covered face, but now that Saki and her family had settled down thanks to Aal, she was rehired.
Lorna knows the Eschenbach family to some extent, so she doesn't have to teach them how to do their jobs, which is a big help.
"Thank you, everyone, for today."
Saki is a little sleepy due to the time difference, but she is used to the lack of sleep and on the surface she accepts the congratulations with a smile.
"Saki, this is from me."
Goose holds out a package.
"Oh, thank you."
Saki accepts the package and notices that the texture of the package is familiar.
"Hm? ......Oh, this is ......."
And when she opens the package, she finds.
A book?
"Yeah. It's the first one I put together since I've been here. It's about the demons I know. After that, I'm going to put together a book on animals and plants as well.
Such a valuable book?
Books of this period were basically handwritten. Only Jin barely produced a golem-arm plotter.
Therefore, books had a rare value.
"Well, I wrote three books at the same time... one to keep, one to give to His Majesty, and one to ...... that's it."
"I see. Thank you, Goose.
Saki then turned to the cloth that had wrapped the book.
"This cloth is ......."
"Oh. <, you know?"
It was a beautifully dyed cloth about 70 centimeters square.
But that was not what Saki was interested in.
"Oh, a furoshiki. ...... No, what I'm interested in is the fabric."
Saki was as usual, her drowsiness gone.
"Hmm? I asked Lorna to sew me the one I bought at Loisart the other day.
More precisely, I asked her to sew it so that the edges would not come apart after cutting it.
"What? By Lorna?
Saki looked at Lorna's face in surprise. Lorna panicked.
"Oh, um, did I do something wrong?"
"No, no, no. Do you know what ...... this fabric is made of?
"No, I only know that it's a tough fabric, similar to silk. ......
