Chapter 379 (2/2)

‘The more you learn, the more you find out about how ignorant you were…’–Jin remembered someone saying that.

“I, for one, think that learning is done to make people happy. So I also think alchemy should also be doing that and so I am making an effort to do just that.”

‘So that is why she was researching saps which could come in handy the other day’ — Jin thought.

“Although, for my father, it was more to fulfill his thirst for knowledge.”

Saki said with a laugh.

“I also want to make tools and magic tools which help the people.”

Jin also stated his thoughts.

“Really? That makes me happy. Jin, will you cooperate with me on things from here on out as well?”

“Yeah, I’d be happy to.”

Having willingly accepted Saki’s request, Jin decided to ask about one thing that was on his mind.

“Hey, Saki. In this worl…… country, is there something like a marriage vacation trip-type of thing?”

“Marriage vacation? Judging from the wording, you mean a vacation the married couple goes on? No, not that I have heard of. Newly wed couple can forget about work for a week to 10 days and that’s about it. If I were to call it something, it would be ‘newly-wed holiday’, I supposed. Well, they do go out around the neighborhood, I guess.”

“I see…”

‘If so, then I could invite Reinhart, Belche and Saki…’ – Jin started thinking.

“Saki, have you ever been outside the country?”

“Mm? I have never been outside of Shouro empire. My father is always going around from place to place, though.”

“I see. So, would you like to visit some foreign country, then?”

Hearing Jin’s question, Saki answered after an impish laugh.

“Kufufu, Jin, will you take me? If so, I would like to go. Unfamiliar land, products. Even more so now ‘cause I heard about Reinhart and your travel stories the other day.”

“Hmm, yeah, someday.”

Saki was somewhat satisfied hearing Jin’s ambiguous answer.

“Someday, eh? Hmm, I will be waiting. I don’t think I will be needing to wait long, though, since it’s you.”

That night, after dinner, Jin had a private talk with Reinhart. At Reinhart’s workshop.

“Well, Jin, what is it? This secret talk you wanted to have?”

“Ah, yeah, it’s actually about honeymoon.”

“Honeymoon?”

And there, Jin told him about the custom of honeymoon in Earth.

“Hmm, that’s interesting.”

As he thought, Reinhart took the bait.

“And so, I wanted to invite you and Ms. Belche, and Saki, to Kaina village or Hourai island.”

“Kaina village, eh? That’s the village you have as a leasehold land, right?”

Reinhart decided immediately.

“Sounds good! I would like to go!”

“Alright, then let’s decide on the schedule.”

And so, Jin and Reinhart discussed about what to do with the schedule and how to gloss over their absence while they are in Kaina village.

And as a result of that discussion, they decided that first, Jin and Saki will head to Saki’s home tomorrow and head to Kaina village from there.

And the day following that, the morning of the 4th, Jin will come back to take Reinhart and Belche.

“Well, they probably won’t ask much if I just say we’re going to have a long carriage ride together.”

‘It is inside the territory as well so’ – Reinhart was optimistic.

He couldn’t leave Belche alone for too long either so the private talk came to an end there.

“Well then, I will keep the destination and method of travel a secret to Belche.”

“Yeah, I will leave that to you.”

Saying that, both of them grinned at each other.

“And so, I invite you to Kaina village of Kurain kingdom tomorrow.”

“I don’t know how or what this came to be so quick, but I will gladly accept.”

Jin talked to Saki after returning to the main building.

“Kufu, I had thought you wouldn’t make me wait long but to think it would be this fast, huh?”

Saki said with a joyful smile.
