Magi Craft Meister

he scene.

However, this time Earl Guarana’s employed Magi Craftsman Bootes approached Jin.

“Hmph, you’re Earl Kuzuma’s Magi Craftsman, Jin, was it?”

Jin resigned himself to having to deal with him.

“Eh, I suppose.
However, I only accepted a commission, i’m not his employee or anything.”

He gave the same reply as he did some time ago.

“Pshaw, as I thought.
Making a plain golem like that meant the Magi Craftsman being plain too.”

Bootes said with arrogance.

“How about you work under Earl Guarana’s employ from now on? Then I’ll teach you lots of things.”

As a result he proposed something like that.
Jin entertained him with a halfhearted reply,

“I’ll think about it after this golem party is done with.”

Maybe he took the answer as a yes, since with these words,

“Haha, that’s right, because it’s very lucrative once you’re Earl Guarana’s employee, no one would turn that down.”,

He departed.

While watching Bootes’ retreating figure, Jin thought that there sure are many kinds of Magi Craftsmen.

“Oh, Jin, this is where you were.”

Reinhardt who found Jin called out.
Jade from earlier was with him.

But, before Jin could say anything,

“Oh, hello there Reinhardt-dono.
Today you didn’t come with Miss Elsa, I see.”,

Another person said so.
Of course, it was Earl Guarana.

“Earl Guarana, since today was the introduction of the golems, Elsa didn’t come.”

Reinhardt dealt with him smiling to the end.

“Hahaha, that’s right, isn’t it.
But wasn’t Miss Elsa your cousin? She has a good talent in magic and good looks, I’d like to take her as my second wife.”

As Elsa was from a viscount’s house, you could say that even though it would be the second one, marrying into an Earl’s house would be marrying up.
Yet it was a little better than the concubine offer from last time.

“No no, she’s still a child that’s ignorant of the ways of the world, and that’s why I took her along on my journey, so I think that kind of talk should be for when she’s a bit more learned.”

“What are you saying, that kind of innocence is also irresistibly charming.
When you go back, please give her my regards.”

Even he seemed to think taking the offer further would be out of place during this event where drinks weren’t served.

“Did you hear that, Jin?”

Reinhardt asked Jin.

“Yeah.
It’s no wonder Elsa dislikes him.”

Elsa who doesn’t really understand the world yet, and the greasy fat middle-aged Earl.
It’s just like in the beautiful, no, like in ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
But this beast won’t turn into a prince after earning the love of the beauty.

“As if Elsa would marry a guy like that.”

Reinhardt muttered, showing a rare look of disgust on his face.

“Aah, both Jin and Reinhardt-sama are at the Duke’s house.”

The one who was left behind, Beana, was grumbling in the workshop in front of Earl Kuzuma’s mansion’s courtyard by herself.
Elsa, who was taking a walk in the garden heard it and said,

“It was inevitable.
I’m rather relieved that I don’t have to see Earl Guarana.”

“Eh? Elsa-sama, you’re familiar with Earl Guarana?”

Beana was surprised and asked Elsa.

“Elsa.”

“Huh?”

“Elsa is fine.
I also call you Beana.”,

She replied.

“O-Okay.
Then, El…sa, you’re famili…know Earl Guarana?”

One of the words turned incomprehensible, but Elsa seemed to understand and replied properly,

“Yep.
Last time we met, he asked me to become his concubine.”

“Concubine you say…”

Beana thought back to her own circumstances.

Using her ill brother and sister to threaten her, he nearly raped her.

Then Earl Kuzuma who came on Jin’s request saved her from the dangerous situation…

“As for me, I was nearly forced by the Earl to…”

Beana said, and,

“Forced? That man uses violence against women?”

Since it didn’t seem like she understood the implication,

“Umm… What I mean by ‘forced’ is that…”

Beana struggled to figure out how to explain it, when,

“Miss, so you were in a place like this.”

The nanny Mine came along and said so.
Then,

“The wind is cold today, please go inside.”

She took Elsa away partly against her will.

While looking at Elsa from behind,

“…Looks like Elsa will have her own hardships.”,

She murmured, left behind by herself.
