Chapter 407 (2/2)

Elsa said something so unexpectedly wild.

“Hey!”

Jin protested, to which Elsa giggled.

“No. I’m just kidding. Sorry.”

Elsa’s remark took Jin and Saki by surprise because it never occurred to them she would crack that sort of joke.

That was probably because she came back to her home country. Jin thought it was wise to have brought her along.

“Oh, is that Lord Jin over there?”

Someone called out to Jin who was engrossed in deep thought. The voice came from inside the booth. That would be the person who created those dolls.

“I’m a Magi Craftsman from Celuroa Kingdom, Clark Lambda.”

Lambda would indicate that he was the 11th engineer. He was about in his late 20s to early 30s.

He had short-cropped brown hair and brown eyes. His face looked ordinary and yet had distinct features; his physique was medium-build. At first glance, his appearance left a light impression.

The models he made were amazing. Perhaps it was due to the biased theme that his rank stopped at the 11th position. Jin was somewhat rudely thinking somewhere along those lines.

Without breathing a word of his thoughts, he greeted him back.

“I’m Jin Nidou.”

“Oh, it’s an honor to speak with you firsthand. Is that Mini Smith? I envy your ability in creating small golems to that extent.”

Clark paused, then gripped both of Jin’s hands and said,

“… If only you could make these dolls come to live!”

He said it with a voice that resembled a shrill scream of the spirits.

“Brother Jin, it looks interesting over there, too.”

“You’re right. Jin, I’m going over there, all right?”

Elsa and Saki bailed politely.

Jin came to realization and excused himself as well, and then chased after the two of them.

“Mr. Clark, I still want to look around the venue, so I’ll excuse myself here today. I’ll see you again sometime.”

“Ah, Lord Jin.”

Pretending not to hear Clark’s attempt to stop him, Jin left in a hurry.

“Hee hee, there are so many different people.”

Saki laughed at Jin who finally caught up to them.

Thereafter, Jin and company visited several more booths but decided to check out the Alchemist section since there wasn’t enough time.

The section was also in the same big hall.

Undoubtedly, the first booth they stopped at was Saki’s booth.

Aal was there watching the booth.

“Are those … your display items?”

Rare minerals that Saki had collected so far were lined up on the display.

“Yeah, but my favorite is the paper.”

That item had been submitted for appraisal, and the value would be announced at the end of this expo.

“This here is an interesting piece because the stone always breaks into a certain shape, so I collected it.”

He explained while pointing at his collection.

Regular octahedral fluorite. Slightly distorted cuboid calcite. Dice-type galena. Thinly peeled biotite.

“Even though they were formed naturally, these stones have amazing shapes ….”

There were crystals in the shape of hexagonal prisms, cubic pyrites, crystals made of rolled garnet, and so on.

Those minerals were often seen in the science room of any junior high school.

“Lastly, these stones have beautiful colors, don’t you think?”

Purple amethyst, blue sapphire, green emerald, yellow citrine (yellow crystal), red garnet, and two-colored watermelon tourmaline.

Jin secretly thought that if he collected such gems and precious stones, he would deplete all his wealth and wouldn’t be able to afford his employees anymore.

“You’re selling rubber, how come you don’t display maple syrup?”

Jin spoke his mind, to which Saki laughed and answered.

“Yeah, you taught me about those things, Jin. Aside from the paper (because it was unavoidable), I thought to display only my creations.”

Saki seemed to have pride in his own style.
