Chapter 315 Theft (1/2)

To the men who had seen the ticks magnified Jin explained thoroughly.

“Well, these are called ticks. 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 ticks further.

“As far as I know, these ticks 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 ticks.”

“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 ticks 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 ticks 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,
