Magicraft Meister Part 1

The two of them get out of the bath and eat at a time that is neither breakfast nor lunch.

It was Lao Tzu who said, "I cooked this time.

Lao Tzu said, "I cooked this time. She was a little nervous about cooking for Jin for the first time, and although it was a large portion, they were hungry and ate it all without any problem.

"Thanks for the food."

As their stomachs growled, their eye lids began to slacken.

"Father, please get some rest."

Reiko is worried about Jin's health.

"Yeah, sure. I'm going to take a nap. Elsa must be sleepy too.

Yes.

So I show Elsa to the house. It is springtime on Horai Island, which is located on the Tropic of Cancer, and during the daytime it is quite warm even in the pavilion, which is located at an altitude of about 1000 meters.

Here you go.

"What's this? I've never seen anything like it.

Elsa looks at the Japanese-style building with a tiled roof.

"Well, let's take a rest and relax. I'll explain everything afterwards."

I look forward to it.

I put down the futon in the room facing south and called Elsa over,

"Tatami mats here too. I'm glad."

She said that and rolled over on the tatami mats. Then she rolled over onto the futon. She looked like a child.

"Well, I'm going to sleep in my room for a while."

I said and went to close the sliding door,

"...... wait. ...... please, just stay with me for a little while."

Elsa's voice stopped me.

"Okay."

Jin went back to Elsa's room and lay down on the tatami mats.

"I'll stay here with you, so take a good night's sleep."

"Okay. Thank you, Jin-kun.

This time, Erza seemed to be able to sleep peacefully.

"...... are you feeling lonely?"

Jin thinks back to the past.

When he was in the orphanage, a girl who had lost her parents had been taken in. She was a third grader who could not sleep unless someone was always by her side.

Jin and the other older children took turns sleeping with her. Jin remembered those days fondly.

"Father, it's time for you to wake up.

Jin fell asleep as he was doing so. Reiko's voice woke Jin up.

"Ah, I slept well.

Jin gets up and stretches. Reiko looks a little grumpy.

"Father, you must sleep properly under the covers or you won't be able to get rid of your fatigue. And what if you catch a cold?

I'm sorry. But I was worried about Elsa.

I apologized and Reiko looked at me as if she didn't have a choice.

"It's almost three o'clock. We should call Mr. Reinhardt or he will be worried.

"Oh, yes, that's right. I think I'd better tell Reinhard about this place.

Reiko nodded in agreement,

Reiko nodded and said, "Please do as your father wants.

Jin quietly left the room.

Jin quietly left the room and asked the same question to Lao-tzu through the terminal in the building.

Yes, if you think it is good for the master (my lord), please do as you want. I will do my best to support you.

Lao Tzu said the same thing and Jin finally decided to bring Reinhardt.

At that time, he heard footsteps running down the corridor. When he looked up to see what was going on, he saw Erza running.

"Elsa?"

I said to Erza's back as she passed by, and she stopped dead in her tracks and slowly turned around.

"Jin?

"Erza, what's wrong?"

When she turned around, Erza's eyes were filled with tears, as if they were about to spill.

"Jin-kun!"

Then Erza jumped on Jin.

"I thought you left me!"

She said and clung to Jin. Jin felt that Erza had regressed a little.

(Probably because of the anxiety she felt when she was kidnapped, or because of the drastically changed environment.)

Jin thought so while gently patting Erza's back.

"Well, what should we do now?"

If he was right, time would solve the problem. Jin could not go out with any hesitation at this point.

"Will it be all right if I ask Soleil and Luna to follow me?"

Since this was the case when they were bathing, Jin called them and decided to leave Elsa in charge for a while.

"Yes, I'll leave it to you.

Jin then tells Erza.

"I'm going to call Reinhard for a while. Can you wait for me?"

Erza nodded her head with a sad look on her face,

"Yes. But please come back soon. ...... brother Jin."

She said, "Brother Jin?

"Brother Jin?"

Erza called herself just like Reinhardt.

"Nn. ...... I've already left the Randalls. So I'm all alone. If possible, I'd like to be treated as brother Jin's sister. ...... no?"

Oh, Jin understood. Erza was now alone in the world. That's why she's so anxious.

"I understand. Erza will be my little sister from now on. Is that okay?"

Brother Gin... Brother Jin.

Good. I'll go get Reinhardt, so just wait quietly.

Leaving Erza behind when he finally calmed down, Jin jumped through the warp gate to the Tellurus carriage.

Then he realized. There is a time difference between Tellurus and Horai Island. Therefore, it was still before noon.

I should check on Meane first.

Instead of staying at the inn, Jin headed for the healing center in Sari.

It was sunny on Horai Island, but cloudy here. Jin walked through the town, feeling the damp spring breeze.

He turned down an alley close to the embankment and found the healing center.

"Hello."

He opened the door and walked in.

"Oh, it's you. Wait here for a moment.

Sally looked at Jin and started to examine the patients again. After waiting for about 15 minutes, Sally finished examining the patients,

After waiting for about 15 minutes, she looked at the patient and said, "Did you say Meine, I noticed her..."

"Really?　I'm glad to hear that.

"But she's been giving me a hard time, trying to leave the hospital when she hasn't regained her strength. You should warn her too."

So Jin entered the hospital room with Sally. When she saw Jin's face, Meane, who was lying down, raised her upper body,

"Jin-sama!　Erza, Erza!

Jin stopped her with his hand,

"Don't worry, Meine. Erza is fine. I've already helped her out. She's not hurt anywhere, she's fine, don't worry.

When she said this, Meane's entire body seemed to relax.

"Oh, oh ...... so ...... you saved me?　Thank you, Jin-sama."

She lay down on the bed again.

"Meene is Erza's real mother, isn't she?　She's hiding Erza in a place where she will never be found. I'm not going to tell the Randalls about that, except Reinhardt. So you can rest assured that you're in good hands."

When Jin said this, Meane's eyes filled with tears,

"Did you know that ...... I almost made ...... that girl unhappy?"

That's what she said. Jin said,

"That's good to know. Let's think about what we are going to do. First of all, we need to get well. But I'm glad. I'm sure Elsa will be relieved now.

Jin said,

"Jin-sama, I have a favor to ask you. Please don't tell Erza that I'm alive.

"What?"

"I finally realized it after all this. I'll only make her unhappy. He's better off without me.

Meane looks as if her view of the world has changed since she almost died, as if she has become a different person. But Jin..,

"You're an idiot. Now Erza is all alone in the world. Meine is your only living relative. She's your own mother.　What are you going to do if you don't protect her?

She cheered her up. But she still said,

"Is it so ......? Is it okay for me to be a mother?

She says things like, "I don't know if I'm allowed to be a mother. Jin chuckled inside his heart, thinking that his troublesome personality would never change.
