Magi Craft Meister 375

Saki and Elsa

“Okay, so are Rein-nii and Belche coming?”

“Yes. I invited them, so they should be here the day after tomorrow.”

Jin informs Elsa about Reinhart and Belche’s arrival.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

After that conversation is over, Martha approaches Jin.

“So, Jin, will Saki be staying at your castle?”

“Yes, that’s the plan.”

“Then I’ll stay too.”,

Says Elsa, jumping into the conversation.

“Oh, sure. Well then, Martha, won’t you join us for dinner at Nidou Castle?”

Jin invites Martha and Hannah, saying that food tastes the best when shared with everybody. Mine will also be going as a waitress.

“You’re right, eating together once in a while is great.”

“Ah, I’m looking forward to it!”

Both Martha and Hannah agree, so they all go over to Nidou Castle.

The caretakers on duty are Sara and Butler-A.

“I’ve wanted to come to your castle ever since the banquet, Jin.”

Martha seems to be rather cheerful about it.

“Ah, Master Jin, welcome home!”

Bere comes out of the castle to receive Jin and the others.

“Hello, Bere. How have you been?”

“Great! Barrow and I are doing just fine! Are we having guests today?”

Bere asks as she sees Saki. She recognizes Martha, Hannah, and Elsa, but Saki’s face is the first one that she notices.

“Ah, this is Saki. She’s my guest today. She’s an alchemist from Shouro Empire.”

“Wow, is that so?”

After seeing Bere’s reaction, Saki asks Jin a question.

“Jin, is she from there too?”

“Yeah. Both Bere and Barrow, the other apprentice butler, are from Shouro Empire as well.”

Then, Bere continues Jin’s explanation.

“That’s right. I used to work in the Celuroa Kingdom, but the family of nobles that I worked for fell into ruin and had to let me go.”

Bere gives out a very resumed explanation about her situation, rather than going into too much detail.

“I see, you’ve been through a lot.”

“No, I’m glad it turned out this way, I get to work here instead.”

“Bere, you can’t just stand there talking… Welcome, Master Jin.”

Barrow appears from inside the castle, reprimanding Bere.

“Ah, I’m so sorry.”

Bere quickly apologizes and asks everyone to go inside the castle. Saki looks at Bere with a pleasant smile.

The group enters the dining room on the first floor and resume their conversation.

Saki seems to be captivated by Martha’s personality and listens carefully to all of her stories.

“So, you come from far away country, don’t you, Saki? You give off a slightly different feeling than Jin.”

“Can you tell?”

“I can. You two have a slightly different way of speaking.”

What Martha means by their “way of speaking” is their accent. There are almost no dialects or anything like that in such small groups of people, but it is inevitable that the accents would differ across the various regions.

Incidentally, Jin has a Klein Kingdom-like accent, so he didn’t feel out of place back when he first appeared.

Because of his long relationship with Reinhart and Elsa, and the linguistic knowledge he had obtained when he was summoned, he’s unconsciously able to change his accent depending on whoever he’s speaking with.

“Jin-nii, how was Belche? Did she look pretty?”

Elsa is very interested in talking about the wedding.

“Ah, yes, she was very beautiful.”

“Come on big brother! Give us more details!”

Hannah is very interested in that as well.

Just as she finishes saying that, the chime of a bell echoes through the room.

“Huh? What?”
