Magicraft Meister Part 1

"Behle!"

Barrow noticed that the girl next to him had fallen and rushed to help her up.

Jin couldn't stand by and rushed over to them.

"You have a fever!"

Behré's face was red when Barrow picked her up, and when Jin put his hand on her forehead, it was hot as fire.

Behle seemed to be dazed already, and his breathing was shallow and irregular.

"Behle!　Behré!"

Barrow, who was holding her up, shook her shoulders and called out desperately to bring her back to consciousness, but she only shook her head.

Jin, who was thinking about something, slowly stood up,

"Reinhard, can you leave these two to me?

(Oh, yes!) he asked.

（Reinhard asked, "Yes, that's fine. Jin, are you taking them with you?")

Reinhard replied in a whisper that only Jin could hear. Jin answered in the same whisper.

（I can't watch, and I'm at least partly responsible for this.)

("Well, I can't watch. I'm at least partly responsible.") If you pass through the ...... barrier and enter the Shoro Kingdom, you won't need a transit permit, and you won't need identification").

The last words were said as if Jin had an inkling of what he was going to do.

"All right. Then I'll stay in the carriage tonight. Tomorrow at 8 o'clock?"

This was a voice that everyone could hear. And so does Reinhardt in reply,

"Yes, I'll send a carriage at 8:00. ...... Then Matthäus, let's go."

He resumed his steps. Matheus hurriedly followed him, grabbed him by the shoulders and asked, "La, Reinhard?

"La, Reinhard, are you sure?　Are you sure, Mr. Jin?"

"Yes. Tonight is our last night in the Kingdom of Celuloa.

Reinhardt glanced back and looked at Jin.

Jin replied with a thumbs up.

Reinhardt gave him a thumbs up.

"Get a grip!　Behle!"

Jin patted Barrow on the shoulder, who was at his wit's end with the unconscious girl in his arms,

"You, you mustn't just leave the girl there.

"What?

Barrow looked up and saw Jin.

"The one who was with the nobleman just now?"

Finally, he seemed to notice Jin's presence. Jin nodded.

"Yes. And he's put me in charge of you. What do you want to do?　Do you want to come with me?"

"Yes, yes."

Clutching at straws, Barrow tried to stand up with Behle in his arms. But his legs stumbled.

"As I thought, you are nearing the limit of your strength. Reiko, please take the girl in your arms.

Yes, Father.

"Father!"

Actually he is 21 years old, but his baby face makes Jin look like he's not even 20. Barrow was surprised that a girl who looked 12 or 3 years old called him .

While Barrow was looking on, Reiko lifted Behrle lightly in her arms. Then, she slid into the carriage.

"Oh, wait!

Barrow hurried after her, almost leaving Jin behind.

With his legs twisting and turning, Barrow followed Jin and the others.

（I don't know if I can trust them or not. (I don't know if I can trust them, but there's nothing left for us now. ......)

) These are the only thoughts that go through Barrow's mind. With only that as a guide, he keeps going with all his strength. Finally, Barrow reaches his limit.

Jin gets into an unusual carriage. Just before the carriage, Burroughs also began to feel faint.

"Oh, I've reached my limit too..." he said.

Jin looked back and scratched his head, feeling bad.

He had a strong impression of the girl he saw at Gunny's yesterday, who pretended to have a bad leg to get charity, so he decided to test them.

"Reiko, please carry them in order then."

"Welcome home, big brother!

I'm home.

Jin had returned to Kaina Village. No souvenirs. No wonder, since Jin had never set foot in the town.

It's 6:00 at night. When Jin emerged from the basement of the workshop, Martha's family had just finished having dinner.

"So you want to ask them to stay with you for a while, do you?"

Jin is now talking with Martha, Meane, Elsa, Hannah, and others in the dining room of Martha's house.

The two of them lay down on a futon in the living room on the second floor of Jin's house.

"Yes. "If possible, Erza and Meane can take care of me.

Erza tilted her head as if to say, "Why?　She tilted her head as if to say, "Why?

"I told them that those two are from the Shoro Kingdom," she said.

Jin briefly explained how he had met them.

"I see, I heard that the nobleman you worked for fell and you were dismissed.

"That's right. I wanted to go back to my country, but I couldn't pass through the customs, so I cried to Reinhardt.

As Jin was saying this, Erza interrupted.

"And what about my brother Rai?"

"He said he couldn't do it without a permit. So he put me in charge.

When Jin answered simply, Erza looked a little disappointed.

"Brother Rai, you're cold.

"Ha, not really. <

?"

Erza didn't seem to understand what was being said. Jin added further explanation.

"In other words, I'll take care of it for the time being and bring it back to you after you enter the Shoro Kingdom.

"...... I understand that. But can you get through to Jin and Rai that way?" "Yes, well.

"Yeah, well, sort of, yeah."

"...... yeah."

Erza's eyes are mysterious. Jin knew that look. It was the time when he suspected her of having a taste for doll love. He did not think that after Matheus, Elsa had the same suspicion ......?

"So, how well do you know Matheus, Elsa?"

Jin tries to distract Elsa somehow.

"I know him well. He used to play with me when I was little. He was my brother Rai's fiancée, Mr. Bertsche's brother."

"I heard he likes geology and minerals."

Elsa didn't know that either.

"What?　Is that so?

"Yes. The walls of Tuscosia are made of sandstone, so I told him that's the bottom of the sea, and he bit me.

"The bottom of the sea?　What?

Jin, what do you mean?　What do you mean, the bottom of the sea?　I don't understand.

Not only Erza but also Martha, who had been listening silently until then, started asking. Jin realized once again that everyone has an appetite for knowledge.

"Let's see, sandstone is sand carried by rivers and piled up at the bottom of the sea. ......"

Jin repeats again what he explained to Matheus.

"...... huh?"

"......I see."

"......I see."

?"

All but Hannah seemed to understand.

"Jin, you really know a lot of things, don't you? I'm impressed.

Martha said. Jin was inwardly impressed,

（"It's nice to talk about trivia like this.)

(It's nice to talk about trivia like this). There is a way to have a golem or an automata, which transfers Jin's knowledge, talk to him instead of Jin himself.

At that time.

"Father, both of them have noticed..."

Reiko, who had been monitoring Barrow and Behle's condition, said.
