Magicraft Meister Part 1

The consultation between the old man and Reiko is still going on.

<>

"Yes. We are only your father's creatures, and I am afraid I must admit that we do not have that much influence.

Both sides seem to agree.

<>

The old man asked Reiko.

"I am unwilling to do so, but I will ask Ms. Elsa to do so.

Reiko answered. Reiko seemed to have a hard time making a decision, judging from the frown on her face.

<

"Yes, I will. Take care of your father in the meantime.

After this conversation, Reiko jumped to the Kun Lun island by herself through the warp gate.

"Hello!"

She calls out and enters the guest room building where Erza and the others are. She may not have to be shy since the rooms originally belonged to Jin, but it is the polite thing to do.

"Yes. ...... Oh, Reiko?"

Meane came out and looked a little surprised.

"Hello. I have a favor to ask of Miss Elsa regarding your father.

"For me?　What?"

Elsa came out from behind Meane.

Reiko explained to them about Jin's current situation. Elsa and Meane listened in silence.

He is trying to fight against the Unification Party (Unifiler). They are aware of the war. Wondering what they can do. ......

"They don't look as happy as they used to. I'm worried about that."

He concludes by saying that.

They are silent for a while, and then Meane speaks up first.

"Jin-sama, because of what happened to Erza and Reinhardt-sama, you have been avenging the Unification Party (Unifiler), haven't you?

"I'm honestly glad that you're doing this for my sake. But I don't want you to be too hard on yourself.

Erza also expressed her opinion. Meane continued.

"I think that Jin-sama has been pursuing so many things at once that he has lost his composure.

Erza agreed with this opinion.

"I think so too. I think she is too greedy for this and that.

Reiko thought about it for a while and felt that what they were saying was probably right.

"So, what should we do?"

That is what Reiko wants to know most of all.

"A change of scenery, I guess.

It was Meane who answered.

"A change of scenery, is it ......?"

Reiko mumbled in a parrot voice, but seemed to think it was a good idea.

"So, how can I make your father feel better?"

Reiko was not likely to come up with anything.

Next time it was Elsa who answered.

"I think you should do something fun."

"Something fun, you mean. ......"

Again, Reiko could only parrot the words back and forth. She seems a little sad, if not a little sad at heart. Is it a pity that she can't think of such things herself?

"Then, Miss Elsa, why don't you invite your father?

Me?

"Me?" "Yes. It would be better for your father to be invited by you than by me.

Elsa, sensing Reiko's slightly sad mood, shook her head.

"Yes. If it's okay with me. Wait a little."

With these words, she went into the building to put on her clothes. The remaining Meine asked Reiko,

"Reiko, I think it would be good for you to go to a place where Jin-sama can feel at ease.

Reiko said, "Reiko, I think it would be good for Jin-sama to go to a place where he can be at peace.

"A place where you can be at peace?

Hearing this, Reiko wondered where would be a place where Jin would feel at ease. But before she could formulate her thoughts, Elsa arrived.

"Here you go."

Erza was dressed in a long navy blue skirt, a white blouse, a light blue scarf, and a brooch given to her by Jin.

These were the current attire for Elsa.

"I'm off, Mother.

"Yes, go on your way."

With that simple exchange of words, Elsa and Reiko entered the building through the warp gate.

After emerging from the Warp Gate room on the first floor, she heads for the workshop with Reiko leading the way.

Erza, who had never been to this workshop before, was gazing around, curious about everything she saw.

When she returned to the workshop, Jin was giving instructions to the old man. He was surprised to find not only Reiko but also Elsa in the room with him.

"...... means, old man, can you make the preparations for me?"

After finishing his instructions to the old man, Jin hurriedly turned to Erza,

"Erza, what's going on?

He asks, "Erza, what's going on? Erza seemed to have already thought of an answer and replied immediately.

"Teach me magic skills, too. "Oh, Jin, you call it magecraft, don't you?"

"Erza?　Magecraft?"

Yes. I want to try. Can't you?

Erza turns her head slightly and looks up at him. Jin is not good at receiving requests from his relatives.

He hesitated for a moment, but then quickly nodded his head in agreement,

"Okay, I'll teach you.

He replied, "Okay, I'll teach you.

"I'm looking forward to it."

Elsa looked happy.

Reiko was watching from the corner,

(Come to think of it, your father said something like that a while ago. ......)

(By the way, your father had muttered something like that a while ago ()).

* * * * * *

"Yes. That's the basic use of magic.

Jin's coaching began immediately. At first, he taught him how to use engineering magic.

While most of the ordinary magic works outwardly, most of the engineering magic works inwardly.

In other words, it is necessary to feel the magical power instead of seeing it.

Jin began by making the students understand the difference between the two.

"Ugh, it's hard!"

"Hang in there. If you can do this, the rest will be easy.

"Nope."

This is exactly the scene of an older brother teaching a younger sister how to study. It's a funny scene.

Now, Jin's worries about new weapons and military equipment have vanished from his mind.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

In the end, Jin continued to coach Erza in engineering magic for about two hours until the evening.

Thanks to his efforts, Erza managed to learn how to handle magic power and memorized the rudimentary engineering magic of < and <.

Especially, the forming is very deep. Jin can make a figure, but Elsa can only make a cup-like object at best.

This is interesting."

Still, using the softening and forming techniques she has just learned, Erza plays with the lumps of copper, kneading them as if they were clay.

Jin couldn't help but smile when he saw Elsa laughing like that.

Reiko sees this and is relieved. She then approached them and told them the time.

"Father, Miss Elsa, it's almost 5 o'clock. It's almost time to leave.

"Oh, it's that time already.

"The good times go by fast, don't they?"

So Erza is going back to Kunlun Island for the day.

"Well then, let's come back here tomorrow after lunch and continue where we left off today.

"Yes, brother Jin. I'm looking forward to it.

Father, I'm going to take Miss Elsa home.

Yes, please.

So Reiko and Erza go to the warp gate room on the first floor together.

"Ms. Elsa, thank you for your hard work today.

Reiko says,

"No, I had a good time too. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

Erza replies, "I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

We soon arrived at the warp gate room. At that time, Reiko received a call from Jin via her built-in manacam.

<

Then Reiko said

Elsa-san, your father called me and said he had something for you. I'll be right back. Please wait here.

"Yes, okay."

So Reiko rushed back to Jin's place.

"Oh Reiko, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you back."

"No, what is it?"

"Oh, I was going to give this to Elsa. Well, tomorrow afternoon would have been fine, but I wanted to give it to you as soon as possible.

Jin held out the bracelet.

"It is a bracelet to prevent Erza's excessive magic power. It has the effect of converting excess mana into free magic element (ether) and storing it.

It is much easier to release it into the air than to accumulate it, but Jin thought it would be a waste to use it as a bracelet to accumulate excess magical energy.

Even though he was busy, he had not forgotten about Elsa's illness.

"Well, I can't say I don't need it now that Meane is with me.

His biggest worry was that Meene would become self-deprecating and leave Erza alone, but looking at the two of them these days, he feels that they are fine now.

So I've been working on it slowly in between, and just recently I finished it.

"Okay, I'll give it to you.

She was still a simple-minded person, not realizing that Erza would be more pleased if Hitoshi handed it to her.

Reiko then took the bracelet and went back to the warp gate room on the first floor.

But then she returns immediately and reports in a panicked voice

"Father, Miss Elsa is gone...".
