Magi Craft Meister
Chapter 315 Theft
To the men who had seen the mites magnified Jin explained thoroughly .
“Well, these are called mites . They are small, like dust and do not really cause harm directly but if one inhales their corpses or feces, they might fall ill . ”
Saryuto, who had been told the same thing just a while before was nodding over and over, showing his consent . Jin talked about the mites further .
“As far as I know, these mites multiply more in warm and humid places . ”
“What! So making the room warm and humid to ease the throat backfired?!”
“Yes, since it’s an issue of mites . ”
“How could this happen…”
Saryuto hung his head in shock . Jin followed up, putting his hand on Saryuto’s shoulder .
“No, I think it was good for your grandchild’s body . And so, I think it will turn out quite well if we just remove all the mites from the room . ”
Hearing that, Saryuto raised his head and grasped Jin’s shoulders .
“Jin-dono! I really appreciate it! Let’s get on with it right away!”
There, Jin provided one more advice,
“About the futon and pillows, I think you will be able to get rid of all the mites if you were to use the cleaning machine . ”
“Ohh! So it can also be used like that!”
Saying that, Saryuto went off running down the corridor .
Jin, Reinhart, Matheus and the Magi engineer guild master Rymer Gebaltof were left standing in the room .
“Jin-dono, this – cleaning machine – did you say? Could you sell this to our guild as well?”
Rymer asked Jin .
Jin had predicted this and nodded .
“Please use it well . ”
“Of course!”
And after another discussion, the microscope was sold at 500,000 toll .
Apart from that,
“If you were to use this cleaning machine like this… to suck in the dust from the room-”
Jin said .
“Ohh! One could get rid of the dust in a room!”
Rymer Gebaltof reacted, as expected of the guild master .
“In that case, you need to change the filter . ”
Jin advised .
“Hmm, I will let Saryuto do all practical experiments using the prototype . ”

6 PM in the evening, it was time for dinner .
In the dining hall, the city mayor Saryuto’s kindness was lined up .
Roast of a whole Kokarisk . Mountain deer’s steak . Grilled barracuda . Stew with vegetable and meat boiled together . Colorful vegetable salad . Earbell’s juice . And pure white bread .
There was more food than one could eat .
“Jin-dono, just as you said, after a major clean up of the room and the futons, Yousse’s condition was way better after she woke up . I can’t tell you how grateful I am!”
Saying that, he came pouring wine for Jin .
“But to think the Egelia kingdom had such a magi craftsman… On top of that, they are also so advanced in medical knowledge…”
Rymer muttered in admiration . That was completely his misunderstanding but it could make things complicated if Jin were to say that so he pretended that he didn’t hear .
“Jin, you did some great work today, as well . ”
After having dinner, they were relaxing in Reinhart’s room .
“Jin-dono’s knowledge fills me with awe . So much that I want to quit the army and become your disciple but that can’t be done . ”
It seems Matheus was a bit drunk as well, which is rare .
“So, what happened to making the automata in the end?”
Reinhart asked . Jin also completely forgot about that .
“Hmm, now that she’s all better, wouldn’t it be better for her to play with human friends rather than automatas?”
Jin laughed .
That night, they were all a bit drunk so they decided to hit the sack early .
Because of his physical constitution, only Jin was sober . But a lot had happened and he was also a bit tired so he went back to his room .
As he closed the door, Reiko started talking,
“Father…”
Her voice seemed somewhat down .
“Mm, what happened, Reiko?”
“Just a while before, you said that it would be better for her to play with human friends, didn’t you…”
Jin immediately understood what Reiko was concerned about . When it comes to topics like this, Reiko becomes insecure .
“Ahh, for that child, I meant . ”
“…What about father?”
She said in a further lower voice . Jin came closer, hugged Reiko and said,
“Reiko, you are my daughter, I told you that before, right? You can be proud . You are the only girl in this world who has two Magi craft meister as her parents . ”
“Father, I am not a girl, I am an automata . ”
“Hmm, but, I don’t think of you as just an automata . And so you are my daughter and I think of you as a person . ”
“…Thank you very much . ”
The gloom in Reiko’s voice was gone . Jin was also relieved .
“Alright then, I will go to sleep now . ”
“Yes, I will be awake all throughout the night, so please rest assured . ”

“It declined…”
“It did, didn’t it, executive director…”
Raglan company’s perimeter business in charge, Roland, was greatly perplexed on seeing the Kaina village in front of him .
They had no salt .
It all began with the highway road closure . It was because of the landslide in front of Doppa village .
That was on the 5th .
They had gone back to Sharuru city for the time being but as they were merchants, they didn’t waste their time there and went to the neighboring Gohoho city .
They sold out their products there and also bought some .
And then, after confirming the situation, when they had returned to Sharuru city, they saw that the road was cleared .
Trust is most important for a merchant . On top of that, Kaina village was the village which had made it possible for the Raglan company to progress significantly .
“We messed up . We must hurry . ”
Roland hurried his wagon to Kaina village . Going very fast, they had passed through Sharuru city and reached Doppa on the 7th .
And yesterday, at Toka village, for some reason, salt had been sold quite a lot . At 3 times the price too .
An unknown soldier came and because he bought a large amount of salt right away, they had a shortage of salt .
Who knows where they heard this from but unfamiliar merchants had also come and sold about a 100 kgs of salt, that too at 3 times the price .
Those merchants probably made a huge profit .
And as for Roland, he also must carry salt to Kaina village . And for that, he could secure the bare minimum, a 20 kg jar of salt .
“With this, we will have to make them endure a bit and come back again after a month . ”
Roland was also considering bringing just salt, with a horse rather than a wagon in half a month, as it was his responsibility as a merchant .
But the jar he had disappeared .
Last night, they surely had the jar of salt while resting at the rest place between Kaina village and Toka village .
Salt is a daily necessity . The salt he had secured to deliver to Kaina village had disappeared all of a sudden .
No, to put it bluntly, Roland was considering the possibility of a robbery .
The price wasn’t the factor . They were carrying far more valuable products in the wagon and Roland’s wallet was also filled with all the profits he had made .
“It declined…”
Actually, this time, Roland’s son, Erik, was not accompanying him . He was busy in charge of technology at Alban .
Roland brought along the newcomer Bothe this time .
Roland was also not going to be doing the perimeters all the time . His promotion to inner works was also confirmed . That’s why he had brought the newcomer to show him the ropes .
“For this to happen on possibly the last trade with Kaina village for me, with which we had built a good relation…”
In the first place, since this highway is close to the Inado mine, there are many soldiers stationed nearby so the public order is comparatively better . Roland didn’t know about the breakout the other day .
Roland was depressed, as he didn’t even think the salt would get stolen .
“Either way, we need to go to Kaina village and inform them about the situation directly…”
“Right, executive director . ”
Roland’s wagon, which was going at an incredible pace just yesterday, was now sluggishly climbing up the ridge .
