Magicraft Meister Part 1

Yes, then I will go after your father.

"Yes, sir."

Reiko heads for the village of Kaina. And the old man started to do his duty.

>

The old man gave instructions to interrogate the Falcons still in the Kingdom of Klein, and the prisoners of war that are being held in the Falcons.

Reinhard was at the supply depot.

A place outside the city of Astan, about one kilometer to the north.

The surrounding area is an exposed rocky outcrop where rock has been carved, pillars erected, and beams passed over to create turrets, storehouses, quarters, stables, and other structures.

"I'm so heavy!"

Reinhardt and Matthäus were walking between the dormitories, muttering to themselves. They had just finished breakfast.

Yesterday, on the way here, Matheus, who was guarding him, asked him <><><><<><<>.

Matheus, perhaps he understood what was going on, or perhaps he simply gave up, but he did not pursue me this morning.

However, there was one more person at the supply depot that I did not want to see.

"Oh, Reinhardt. You came this way."

Only inwardly, Reinhardt frowned.

Then came Erza's brother, Fritz.

He was on his way back to Japan because it was time for a change of shifts.

He was surrounded by a few worried-looking men.

"I heard you were attacked.　I'll make a strong protest to Celluloid. It's not as comfortable as the inn, but it's safer.

Fritz said smiling. Reinhardt feels a little uncomfortable.

"Yes?　What's wrong?　Do you see something on my face?"

Reinhardt asked with a doubtful look on his face as he stared at Fritz.

"No, nothing on your face, but I thought you looked different..."

"Hmmm, is that so?　Well, I don't know... everyone I've seen since this morning has been saying that, but I'm still me, you know?"

Seeing Fritz laughing, Matthäus could no longer remain silent.

"Major, are you sure something is not wrong?"

Fritz's brow furrowed slightly at the question.

"Nothing. "Nothing at all, except that I had a bad dream."

"Dreaming?"

"Dreaming? I had a dream that I was hit on the head and fainted.

"......"

"It was a dream, right?　I didn't have a bump on my head.

Fritz smacked him on the head. Reinhardt, seeing this, is puzzled,

"Well, that's all right. I'm going to my room.

I'm going to my room," he said, choosing to leave for the time being.

"Oh, okay. I'll visit you when my office hours are over. ...... Matheus come with me. Let's talk about yesterday in detail."

When Reinhardt returned to his quarters, he found a familiar magical tool on the table. It was a manacam, a magical communication device.

"When did you get ...... that, Jin?"

Reinhardt nodded and put it in his pocket.

The old man asked Deneb 30, one of the fifth column (quinta) secretly dispatched to Reinhardt from the floating base, through the manacam.

Yes, I used shock magic and handled it well. No one has noticed.

Asund, the capital of the Kingdom of Egelea.

Finance Minister Braoloat is worried about the situation. The attack has further increased the burden on the treasury.

The Minister of Defense, Judele, and the Prime Minister, the Marquis Boyd Norse Galuelli, were both thinking about it.

"Anyway, if this list is true, it's a big deal!

A sheet of parchment was spread out in front of the Minister of Defense. It listed more than a dozen names. All are aristocrats who hold important positions in various ministries or are involved in the governance of important cities.

The title of the list reads .

"Anyway, there's nothing we can do without checking each one of them, is there?"

"Hmm. At the end of the article, it says that <>, is it true?

"Well, I have never heard of such a magic as ...... suggestion (seduce). You said so yourself, didn't you?"

"Yes, I have. I'm sorry, sir, I haven't studied it.

The city in the western part of the Kingdom of Klein.

It was late afternoon in Tetrada, a city in the western part of the Kingdom of Klein, and order had just been restored.

"Commander, everyone in line, we're done!"

"Well done!"

The 3rd Knights of the Kingdom of Klein are lining up, but without armor, swords, or spears, they don't look very good.

"The situation is still unclear, but the Royal Franz Army has retreated. There is no doubt about it."

There is a slight murmur, but it soon disappears.

"That giant golem could have destroyed us, or even the enemy army, if it had wanted to. They were all unconscious at the same time. And now we've lost our weapons and armor as well.

Subcommander Niklas speaks to the adjutant next to him.

"Indeed, yes. Where in the world did they come from?

"You won't get an answer if you think about it. We have to think about the future. How many casualties this time?

Well, that's ......

Yeah?　What's wrong?

The acting deputy is stuttering. Niklas raises his eyebrows.

"Are you sure it's not too many?"

The temporary deputy denies it in a hurry.

"No, no, on the contrary!　There were no casualties!

What?

There were many wounded in the battle from yesterday to today. Especially those who were mortally wounded in yesterday's battle. However, I have just confirmed that all of them are recovering.

"What ...... is ......?"

That's exactly what I don't understand. The seriously injured have recovered even though nothing was done. No, maybe ......, Niklas imagines.

Maybe that giant golem did something.

And then he remembers what the giant golem said.

"<

* * * *

The hot air balloons dispatched to the kingdoms of Klein and Egelea have lost contact with each other.

What?　Who could drop one of those?　One or two, maybe, but all of them?

The Franzian army is retreating towards the border.

What about the Golem?　Where's the Golem?　The battle golem we secretly brought to Castle Asund!

A pigeon brought a report that it too has been destroyed.

"Nooooooooo ...... what in the world has happened!"

.

Then a voice interrupted, like the tinkling of a bell.

"Oh, oh, Elena. Where are you?

<

"Well, it's good to finally see your face. I'm looking forward to it. So what happened to Reinhardt?

<

"What?　Elena says, "I see what you mean: ......"

"Ummm, no way. ......"

<>

"Yeah, there was a guy who destroyed the 8th branch a while back, apparently a golem user named Jin."

"Well, he is ............."

Elena listened silently to the explanation, but when she finished she raised her voice a little.

"I'm sorry. I thought there was no golem that could match us.

Elena seems to have cut off communication unilaterally, and her voice is no longer heard.

The square in the village of Kaina was thick with smoke.

"Geez, it's smoky. Sarah, will you take care of the rest?"

"Yes, master."

In the village of Kaina, they are currently burning the wood chips from the query tree to smoke the mountain lion meat that Locke and his friends have caught.

It is smoky because it is smoked rather than burned. That's where Sara comes in. Sarah, the golem maid who doesn't have to breathe, works silently, and in no time at all, the preparations for the smoking process are finished.

All that remains is to continue smoking the meat until the moisture is absorbed.

"I'm looking forward to it, I'm sure tonight's drinks will be delicious.

Don't drink too much!

The village of Kaina is at peace.
