10-05 Trip Preparations

“Lithia did say she lived in the royal capital of Cline Kingdom but…”
Jin remembered how she had said ‘If you happen to come to the capital…’ .
“Cline Kingdom’s royal capital, that is, the capital city . …What was it again?”
“It’s Alban, My Lord . ”
Laojun told Jin .
“Ah, that was it . Alban, right . I wonder what kind of a place is it?”
Previously he had been thinking he’d like to sooner or later visit there, but that plan fell through because of the Earl called Walter or some such .
“Hmm, I suppose I’ll try asking Elsa . …Oh, right, let’s take Elsa along too . Hannah too, now that I think about it!”
Gradually Jin’s voice got louder which surprised Reiko .
“Father, that’s a…”
Still, Laojun seemed to have a different opinion .
“My Lord, if you do, then I would like to recommend changing your hair colors with magic dyes . ”
“Magic dyes… Ah, I see . Simply by doing that the impression we give off would change completely . ”
A part of the magic dye was made out of something collected from a magical beast that resembled a chameleon . The color of a dye like that could be freely changed using Magic Energy .
Since cleaning it off was possible using Craft Magic it was a good idea .
“However, since Elsa-san and Hannah-chan are a part of the study group they can’t be gone for more than a few days . ”
Hearing Laojun’s words surprised Reiko . She realized that his intention by guiding Jin like this was to shorten the time of Jin’s outing . Laojun was several levels above Reiko with regards to plotting(?) like this .
“Ah, you’re right . Alright, a two-day trip starting from tomorrow . That should be fine, right?”
“That is so, Father . ”


“I think it good . It seems to me that we better then have one of the SP follow Elsa-san too . ”
Reiko agreed, and another suggestion came from Laojun . Jin accepted the proposal .
“That might be good . Alright, Like with Reinhardt and the others, let’s get two of them to do it . ”
Jin at once built two SP golems . Since he had repeated the work countless of times finishing them was quick .
“Your names are ‘Marron’ and ‘Plum’ . ”
Before he knew it, about three hours had passed since he left Kaina Village .
“Oops, if I don’t go back soon Hannah will get angry again . ”
Jin said and decided to first of all go back . Next to him, Reiko was smiling .

“Ah, onii-chan . It’s already lunchtime, you know . ”
The time in Kaina Village was half past eleven . Hannah who had returned from the study group had just come to call Jin for lunch . Barely made it, Jin thought deep down .
“Got it, let’s go . ”
And so Jin headed to the dining room of Martha’s house . Elsa and Mine had also returned .
“Although Jin-nii disappeared in the middle of it all, I think today went quite well . ”
Elsa told Jin . Mine added,
“Today after meeting and introducing everyone, we explained the purpose of studying and in what kind of situations it is of use . ”
Jin listened and nodded .
“I see, that’s good . I’ve got something to talk to you about after lunch . ”
Jin said and first started with the lunch in front of him .

“…So, I was thinking of about a trip to Cline Kingdom’s capital city Alban for two days . Elsa, are you familiar with Alban?”


After a simple explanation, Jin tried asking Elsa . That’s because Elsa was the one most knowledgeable about nations in the group .
“Mmh, I’ve never been there so I’m not . Sorry . ”
Elsa replied a little dispiritedly . Jin gently spoke to Elsa .
“No, don’t worry about it . If that’s the case then it’s all the more reason to go, isn’t it?”
“Eh?”
“You see, I was thinking of going together with you, Mine, and Hannah . ”
Jin said, then Hannah raised her voice in delight .
“Really? Onii-chan, you’re taking me with you?”
“Yeah . It’s just two days though . You’ll probably learn something too . Martha, are you okay with it?”

Jin asked Hannah’s grandmother Martha who replied with a big nod,
“It sounds good . She can see many things she wouldn’t if she stayed in the village . ”
She wasn’t at all concerned about just how they would go to Alban . You could probably say that was distinctive of Martha who had known Jin for a long time .
“Yeah! Thanks, granny!”
And at the same time Hannah was very happy .
“Alright, in that case since we’re leaving tomorrow you can spend the night on Kunlun Island . Oh yeah, Martha, would you like to stay overnight too?”
Jin said but Martha shook her head,
“No, I’ll stay in the house . You youngsters go on ahead . ”
And she clearly refused . Mine then said,
“Jin-sama, Elsa, I’ll stay here house-sitting with Martha-san . You three, please enjoy yourselves . ”
Jin tried convincing the two to come with, but in the end only three people would be going .


“Well then, let’s stay overnight on Kunlun Island and leave tomorrow morning . ”
“Yeah!”
“Mh . ”

And so, Jin warped to Kunlun Island with Hannah and Elsa . Hannah was again blindfolded . This time, although Hannah didn’t see them, her personal SP ‘Iris’ and ‘Azalea’ followed them .
“Ya~y, it’s onii-chan’s house~! Ah, it’s the maids~! Good day!”
As soon as Hannah got to Kunlun Island she began frolicking around merrily . And once she noticed the maid golems who had previously looked after her a little, she greeted them .
“Elsa, I’ve got something to talk about . ”
Jin first left Hannah to frolic and began talking to Elsa about the disguises .
“Even if it’s just a little bit, I think that disguising ourselves will help us avoid trouble in the future . ”
“Mm, got it . Is it alright if I just change my hair color?”
“Yeah . Surely, just changing your platinum blonde hair to light brown will greatly change the impression you give? I’ll change mine to brown too . And… what about Hannah?”
Neither Hannah’s name or face were known, so there was no worry about her being recognized . But, after all, just in case they decided to have her hair be similarly brown too .
“Hannah, come over here for a bit . ”
Hannah who had been playing with Peridot-100 came along as soon as Jin called out to her .
“Wha~at is it, onii-chan?”
Jin explained the matter to Hannah .
“I was thinking of trying to change the color of our hair in preparation for tomorrow’s trip . ”
“Eh?”
As you may have guessed, she didn’t quite understand . Jin then decided to show her in practice .
They went to the washroom and to wet their hair with water that had magical dye already mixed in it . He then used Craft Magic . First was Elsa .
“[Change Color] . ”
Elsa’s hair turned to a bright tawny color in front of their eyes .
“Wow! Ama~azing! Cool!”
Hannah was so amused she clapped after seeing it . Next was Jin himself . He changed his hair to dark brown .
“Onii-chan didn’t change a lot, did he . ”
Since his looks didn’t change much when his hair color went from black to dark brown, Hannah had a weaker reaction than she did to Elsa . But Jin didn’t mind it . Or rather, it wasn’t something to worry about .
“Alright, next is Hannah . May I?”
“Yeah!”
“[Change Color] . ”
He tried and Hannah’s hair changed to a chestnut brown . Even though it was the same brown color, Elsa’s hair became a subdued light brown, Jin’s became dark brown, and Hannah’s a bright chestnut brown .
Hannah once again got in high spirits once she saw the three of them in the mirror .
“Co~ol! I can’t wait for tomorrow!”
As insurance just in case Hannah got lost, Jin thought he’d present her with a necklace with a Magi Crystal with his Magic Energy inserted in it .
Also, the clothes for going out . Since Jin wasn’t a good designer, she planned to also consult Elsa .
There was no worry about the sizes since there was Reiko who could tell them at glance like back when he had made clothes for Beana and Elsa .
“Alright, then let’s make the clothing . ”
Jin said, and indeed as they were girls the faces of both Hannah and Elsa seemed to shine .
“Elsa, please give me some design advice . ”
“Mm, Jin-nii . ”
And so the three headed to the mansion’s workshop .
