Magi Craft Meister

Chapter 327: Banquet

Now that Jin had invited Lishia and Pascaud into Nidou castle, he gave them a simple tour.

When he asked them to take their shoes off at the entrance, they gave him a questioning look.

"Everyone does it in houses where I come from. If it bothers you, here are some slippers."

Jin said, and so the two of them agreed without issue. So there was no need for slippers.

"The flooring feels nice beneath my feet."

It was nearing the end of spring, and so the temperature was warm and caused you to sweat a little. The polished planks felt cool under their feet and was very pleasant.

Jin led them through the castle.

First, they climbed the stairs and visited the office on the third floor. Then they went to the guest room on the second floor, and to the drawing room below that. They avoided the fourth floor and above for now.

"The baths and toilets are on the first floor. Unfortunately, we are not close to any hot springs, so it is not a natural bath, but I do intend to draw from somewhere eventually."

"…"

"…"

The two of them were shocked. Well, you might call it a sort of culture shock.

"Ji-Jin. Is this, perhaps, uh, from your homeland…Japan, was it? Is it from there?"

Lishia was the first of the two to return to herself as she asked. She didn't remember when it was, but Barbara had told her about it.

"Yes, that is correct. Though, it is not exactly the same."

Lishia looked interested at these words.

"Oh, in that case, your homeland must be very strange! But nice as well! I would like to even visit…"

She added. Jin could only smile in reply to this.

On the other hand, Pascaud looked like he had just swallowed a bitter bug.

Jin took no notice of Pascaud however, as he looked out of the window. You could see that the sun in the blue sky was starting to set.

It was very easy for him to use his Magi Craft Meister abilities to determine the angle of the sun and determine what time it was.

"It is almost four thirty. We are going to celebrate the construction of this castle today, along with celebrating this land being leased, and it will also be a welcome party for our ambassadors. I think to have a banquet."

Jin announced to the two of them.

"Oh, is that so. How fun."

Lishia may not have been so accepting if he said that it was just for them, and so he explained all of the other reasons, and she readily accepted it.

"I think to request one thing of you as an ambassador."

Jin said, and since Lishia understood her position well, said:

"Yes, I understand."

And she nodded, much to Jin's relief.

Pascaud continued to mutter to himself as if absorbed in his own little world. But in truth, he was really just confused as he was unable to digest everything that he was seeing here in the castle.

Jin continued to guide the two of them and brought them out to the great hall.

"Here we are making preparations."

Jin said as they stepped foot into the hall.

"Ah, brother!"

"Jin."

"Hannah and Elsa were here, and they were helping to lay down cushions under Mine's guidance.

He had thought that Hannah would wear the dress that she received from Princess Lieschen, but she had decided to wear nice, but normal clothes as the dress would get dirty.

"Master Jin, we are almost finished with the preparations."

Belle was in the kitchens with Peridot 101. Peridot was there also. They needed the extra help as there would be many guests.

"Master Jin, the people of the village have arrived."

Barou said as he guided the villagers inside.

Butler B took their shoes and put them away. It was impressive that he could memorize and manage all of the shoes from over 100 villagers.

Laojun must have determined that the five golem maids were not enough, so aside from Peridot, five colors each from 91 to 95, in other words, a total of 25 more were brought over to help.

"It is quite the sight…"

"…"

Pascaud seemed to become even more confused as he watched all of this. Jin did not notice this and continued to give orders.

"Now, what to do about seating arrangements."

Lishia would sit at the head. Next was Pascaud. Then the chief after that. Everyone else could sit where they wanted.

Hanna and Elsa would sit next to Jin, Reiko stood right behind him. Mine insisted on serving the food and did not listen to him.

"Ohh, these cushions are so comfortable!"

"Dear, that doesn't mean you can take them home with you!"

"These are for sitting on, right?"

"They look more expensive than my mattress…"

The villagers all came in and sat on their cushions. Many were surprised by the texture and comfort that they offered.

And then it was 5 pm. Jin saw that everyone from the village had arrived, and then he stood up.

"Everyone."

And with that word, the whole hall fell quiet.

"Thank you all for coming here to Nidou Castle today. The completion of this castle, the leasing of this Kaina village to me…Jin Nidou, and the welcoming of Lishia Fahlheit and Pascaud Rush as ambassadors of friendship. We celebrate all of this with a banquet this evening. I hope that you all enjoy it."

Jin was not accustomed to doing this, and his speech was far from perfect, but he somehow managed to finish it.

It went without saying, but Lishia was not an ambassador that would stay here long, but was more of a show of goodwill. Because had she needed to stay here, then Jin's permission would have been necessary in advance.
