Chapter 10-18: Volume 10 - Chapter 18 – Unforeseen Incident
10-18 Unforeseen Incident
“Onii-chaan . ”
Hearing Jin’s footsteps in the corridor, Hanna also stepped out . She was wearing a different dress yet again .
This one had no sleeves . The type which hangs from the shoulder .
The skirt spread out and made fluttering noises every time she walked .
“How is it coming along, Jin? Are you maybe done with half of it?”
Princess Lieschen asked with somewhat impish eyes . Jin smiled and replied shortly,
“I am done with all of it . ”
Not expecting such a reply the slightest, the princess asked with wide eyes,
“Really?!”
The princess had not really known what a Magi Craft Man would actually be like but she had her own thoughts about it . But that was all betrayed in a good way .
“It is true, princess . Jin-sama is a wonderful person . He also fixed me completely . ” said Tia .
“T-Tia! You can walk now?!”
“Yes, thanks to you and Jin-sama, I was completely fixed . Just like before — No, I have been fixed to an even better version of me than before . With this, I can always serve you properly . ”
“I see, I see…!”
The princess said while jumping towards her and Tia properly grabbed her . Till now, Tia probably had some difficulty freely using her feet so this was probably the first time she was able to do something like this .
“As you can see, I am completely fine now . ”
Saying that, Tia held the princess up in her arms . This was the genuine princess carry .
“I am glad . . I am glad…”
Seeing the princess become even happier than yesterday when they had restarted Tia, it made all three of them smile .
“I really wanted to introduce you to my father, the King but…”
After having lunch, Jin informed the princess that they were leaving .
The princess nodded even though she was a little reluctant . She might have thought that it would not be nice to forcibly make them stay .
At that moment,
“Excuse me . ”
Along with the voice, the Imperial Guard Knight captain, Jessica Norton, came in with the vice captain, Gloria Orstat .
“Oh, you are here too, Jin-dono . ”
Seeing Jin and the others, Jessica looked like she was relieved .
“The analysis details of yesterday’s golem came in so I came to report to the princess . You guys have also helped, so you have a right to listen . ”
And so, they shifted locations to the reception room . Seeing all the automatas moving around energetically, Jessica was left dumbfounded .
“Ohh, it’s like they are completely different from yesterday . Was it you, Jin-dono?”
“Yes . Jin fixed every single automata here . ”
“Oohhh, as I thought! He was also a first class Magi craft man, huh? Not only being good at swordsmanship but at automatas too… Ahh, now that I think about it, you had a wonderful automata beside you, didn’t you? As expected of Egelia kingdom’s honorary Magi craft man!” said Gloria .
She had already equipped the short sword Jin had made for her .
Automata — no, Tia came in with tea .
“Pr-princess, th-this is?!”
Seeing Tia, who was barely able to move yesterday move better than ever before, Jessica was again staring in wonder .
“Fufu, were you surprised? Jin also fixed Tia today!”
Taking a sip of the tea, the princess said proudly .
“More importantly, let me hear the report . ”
“Ye-yes… . ”
Wiping off her sweat, Jessica fixed her posture and started her report . One could feel the dignity worthy of the Imperial Knights’ captain from that form .

According to the report, the two captured golems were brought in secretly by the Unifiers .
It seems their aim was to cause chaos at Alban during the afternoon on the 27th .
Hearing that, Jin thought to himself, that the time they were brought in, Unifiers were pushing forward with their world conquest and Joule and the others couldn’t probably do much .
“The 3 in question were spies of Unifiers as expected . However, about the earlier notice, hypno, was it? There were no signs of such manipulation . ”
It was because even the normal members who were not part of the higher ups would cooperate with the world conquest even without brainwashing . Jin had heard that too from Joule through Laojun .
“Unifiers, eh… that is troublesome . ”
The princess said with a grim face . Jin had to hold back his urge to tell the princess that the Unifiers were harmless now .
“Good job on the report . Ah, right — I was thinking of seeing off Jin and the others to the castle gate . Would you guys like to come as well?”
“Yes, if it is the princess’ order . ”
“Eh, Jin-dono, are you already going back?”
Jessica agreed immediately but Gloria looked a bit sad .
“I shall come again someday . ”
Saying that, Jin stood up . Following him, Elsa and Hanna also stood up . Reiko was holding the bag, which was almost empty now . For some reason, there was something packed in it .
They headed towards the south gate on the princess’ carriage . The ones riding on the carriage were Jin, Lieschen princess, Tia, Elsa and Reiko . Jessica and Gloria were riding horses, escorting the carriage .
Hanna was still wearing the princess’ dress . Who knows how many more clothing she had received . In fact, the dresses she got were packed in the bag Reiko was carrying .
“Right, I should give you this . I had requested for it yesterday . ”
The princess handed over a castle entry permit to Jin .
It was of silver color, only given to people the royalty had acknowledged . Who knows when they had it made but it properly had Jin, Elsa and Hanna’s portraits engraved in it, making it useless to other people .
“With this, you can come to the castle anytime . ”
The general public can only enter the castle when the gates are open, meaning from 7 am to 6 pm . But with this silver permit, they can enter anytime except of emergency times such as war periods .
“Thank you very much . ”

Jin gratefully accepted it . The portrait was black and white so he could possibly come in with a different hair color as well .
“Also, this is my thanks . ”
Saying that, the princess handed over a heavy bag to Jin .
“It has 50 gold coins in it . I do not know if it is enough but it is the best I can do . Please forgive me . ”
500,000 toll, approximately 5,000,000 yen . Jin refused to accept it .
“Princess, this is too much . ”
“Mu-I-Is that so? But, I would like to…”
“No, that money is the tax from the people, right? It won’t be good to use it like this . ”
Jin tried persuading her with that .
“Mmm, then how much would you be willing to accept?”
Being asked that in return, Jin was at a loss for words .
“Ri-right . 2 gold coins would probably be enough . . ”
Hearing that, the princess brought out 5 gold coins from the bag and handed them over .
“The things you have done is much more valuable to me than 50 gold coins . Please understand that . And also, I know how you feel but do not be so modest . That would be decreasing the value of the things you did .
It was really fun getting to know you guys . If it is okay, won’t you be my friend?”
Jin, and Elsa too, understood the princess’ feelings and Hanna as well, kindly said,
“Yes, with pleasure . ”
“Happily . ”
“Princess, you will become my friend? Yayy!”
There was no way they would refuse .
“Hmm, I am grateful . Then, from now on, I would like you all to call me Lies . ”

“Yes, Lies-sama . ”
“Is it okay to call you Lies-sama?”
“Lies-onee-chan!”
“Yes, that is fine . Ahh, today is a good day . ”
Meanwhile, the carriage had reached outside the gate and stopped . To check if there were any suspicious beings in the surroundings, Jessica and Gloria galloped with the horse a little further .
Jin had said it was fine to drop them off at the gate but the princess was reluctant on parting and so made the carriage go past the gate .
Looking outside through the window of the parked carriage, the princess asked,
“Is your carriage outside?”
To that, Jin had no choice but to give an ambiguous answer, ‘Well, yes . ’ .
“Well, that is fine . I do not want to pry into it… . . Well, then . Come visit again someday . ”
Saying that, the Lies princess shook their hands one by one .
And then the door was opened .
Even before the stepping stone was placed, Hanna got off as she was closest to the door .
At that moment, someone appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Hanna and held a dagger to her neck .
As always, Jin had no sense of how to use money . Saying that it was the tax money and decreasing the amount… was that really a good thing to do?
The SP dedicated to Hanna were also late due to the carriage’s speed…
