Before one realized, the sun had set and it had gotten pitch-black outside.
Jin’s office’s ceiling was also equipped with the same illuminating materials as the laboratory, which illuminate as long as ether is present. The device, which was named ‘AL’(Ether Luminous body) by Jin, illuminated the room automatically as soon as it started to get dark, because of which they didn’t even realize that the sun had set until they looked outside the window.
Lishia and Pascaud were at a loss of words when they saw the bright ceiling. Seeing them like that, Jin realized,
(Ah, I forgot that this material, the AL, is lost now, even though it was everywhere during my predecessor’s time…)
But at the same time, he also thought that if it’s the revival of ‘lost techniques’, he could explain it even if it looked a bit aggressive.
However, he decided on restarting the two as they just sat there, speechless.
"Uhh, this was gifted to me by Deus Ex Machina, with the completion of the castle."
And on the spur of the moment, Jin tried to gloss it over.
Jin and the others finished their dinner downstairs.
Jin advised Lishia and Pascaud to sleep early and rest well as he wanted them to head out early the next morning.
And then Jin claimed that he would prepare the medicines and would head for the workshop at his house.
"….I understand. I have a lot of things I want to ask but coming up with a solution for the disease comes first."
"….It’s exactly as you say, Ms. Lishia. I will also support you with my best."
Saying that, the two left for their rooms.
"Now then, I should also do what I must."
And so, Jin rode Koma to his workshop. Koma also had a light equipped so his self-control as a golem was quite high, making it safe.
"….Jin-nii, welcome back."
Elsa welcomed him there.
"I’m back… Elsa, did you hear about the situation?"
"Mmm. I heard from Butler A."
Elsa knew Shouro empire-styled healing magic so Jin had Butler A fill her in on the details after the meeting with Laojun.
"How good were you with healing magic again?"
"….I can use upto ‘Heilverfahren’."
He didn’t quite understand from the chant so he asked her to use it on the pelshika stored in the refrigerator.
"….On this?"
Elsa looked doubtful but as it was a request from Jin, she abided.
"‘Heilverfahren’."
With that, the pelshika faintly shone for a moment.
"What was that… just now?"
"Umm, you can bestow magic characteristics in liquids which have a high amount of ether in them."
Hearing that, Elsa also understood a bit.
Jin analyzed the pelshika on which Elsa used her magic. And fortunately, Elsa’s magic, Heilverfahren, was a high-class magic on the same level as medicare or even higher.
Delighted, Jin let Elsa know, as well.
"This is amazing, Elsa."
Being complimented, Elsa blushed a bit and asked Jin,
"….Is that, alchemy?"
"Yep. You know of it?"
"Mmm…… Ms. Saki liked that stuff."
It was Jin’s first time hearing that name.
"Saki?"
"Saki Eschenbach. The daughter of the alchemist who used to live in Rai-nii’s family’s territory."
"You mean, Toa Eschenbach’s?"
Unexpectedly, such a name came out of Elsa’s mouth, at which Jin was a bit surprised.
"You know him?"
Elsa asked, slightly tilting her head. Jin explained how he read about him in a book at the library in Shouro Empire.
"….Saki-nee used to play with me a lot when I was small. I learnt many different things then."
"I see."
He wanted to ask a few things about the Eschenbach family but now was no time for that.
"Well then, Elsa, will you come with me to Hourai island? It would help if you assist me in making the medicine there."
"Mm. Gladly."
And so, they leapt to Hourai island using the warp gate underneath the workshop.
