Magicraft Meister Part 1

The trip of Jin and the others passed peacefully and without incident since they entered the Shawlo Kingdom.

After passing Bamum, they stayed one night in the town of Bortolo.

Passing through the town of Danga, they stayed overnight in Denzana.

After crossing the Divide River by ferry, they stayed in the town of Banyu on the 7th.

"Well, it's nice to have nothing going on," Reinhardt said sincerely.

Reinhardt said sincerely.

Right now Jin, Reinhard, and Matthäus are relaxing on a bench on the balcony of the inn. The Divide River is in view.

The spring sun sets late, and it is still light in the evening.

In front of each of them is the juice of Airbert, a specialty of the Shoro Kingdom.

Jin could not recognize the original fruit because of the juice, but it tasted completely like strawberries.

"Ah, it's a nostalgic taste. ...... Jin, this kind of airbert grows all over the country. Children often pick them and eat them raw or make juice from them. Of course, it is also cultivated, and this is the taste of what is grown.

Reinhard is pleased with the taste of his homeland. Jin thought it would be a nice souvenir for Erza and Hannah.

"Yes. Reinhard. I remember when you and I would go to the back of the mountain to pick air veils, and Miss Elsa used to come with us.

Matheus' voice sounded nostalgic. Reinhard nodded.

"Yes, the three of us used to go and pick air veils together. I remember Erza once cried and cried because she was the only one who could pick so few air veils.

Elsa would blush if she heard this story.

It was a lazy spring evening.

I was so happy to hear this story.

"It's funny, it's past the due date..."

In the village of Kaina, the chief of the village, Giebeck, was suspicious that Roland, who had last visited in mid-April, had not yet arrived, even though he had said he would be back in early May. Next to him, Barbara was getting antsy.

"It's strange that Locke, Jeff, Dave, Howard, and Rick haven't come back either. Something must be wrong.

Then Butler A, the golem that Jin had left behind as a proxy, arrived.

"Hello, Mr. Village Chief.

Gibeck had already gotten used to its appearance and was interacting with it in a normal way.

"A, is something wrong?

Butler A is a name that the villagers call him simply A, as it is too much trouble to call him Butler A.

"Yes, there was a cliff collapse in the middle of the road. It seems that those who were drafted into the army were unable to return home because of it.

"What!　I don't know where the information came from, but you're sure?

Of course.

Giebeck is thinking with a puzzled look on his face. Barbara, on the other hand..,

"Uncle, there's nothing to think about!　We're just going to clean up that cliff!

she said in a loud voice.

"Come on, how can we get people out if we don't know where it is or how big it is?

"Oh, you know A, don't you?

"Yes."

Barbara's calm assessment made Giebeck scratch his head in embarrassment.

"Well, I was so upset that I forgot to ask. So, where are we?"

"Yes, between Doppa and Raknow," he said.

"Okay, let's get Gon, Gen, and the golem horses, Ein and Tsubai, out. They'll be at .......

Wait a minute.

Butler A stopped him.

Why did you stop him?

Butler A's voice was calm,

"<>," I said in the past tense. The line is open now."

"What, just say so!"

"Yes, I was going to tell you in order, but you said a lot of things along the way. ......"

This is a problem with Butler A's way of speaking. It would have been better to state the conclusion first.

Also, it was easy to interrupt him in the middle of his speech because he was always calm and stated in a straightforward manner.

"Well, I guess we'll all be back in a few days," said Giebeck.

Giebeck said. And Barbara, of course, says.

"Eric ...... and Mr. Roland will be here too.

* * * *

The day before, on the 6th, Hourai Island.

(According to the additional report from Deneb 29, the cliff collapse was also caused by Count Walter's order, right?)

The old man was thinking silently.

(But there is no physical evidence. ...... is still too early to take action.)

The old man was determined to crush any adversary to Jin to the uttermost. Not only physically, but also socially and economically.

(First of all, let's get rid of this meaningless harassment ...... and put it away in the name of the nostalgia party (nostalgia).

The old man, who had come to that conclusion in a few seconds, hurried to contact Elena.

Fortunately, Elena was free, so he was able to give her all the necessary information in one call.

This was the end of the groundwork. It is decided that the work will be done late at night when no one is around.

And at midnight. The moon is in the mid-sky, its light dimly illuminating the ground. It is too dark for humans, but it does not matter to the golems of Horai Island.

The location is the site of a cliff collapse.

Condor 1, Pelican 3, and Raptor 2 flew in unnoticed.

Daedalah is a huge golem, standing 15 meters tall and weighing 8 tons. It is heavier and slower than the combat-use Titan, but it is more precise in its movements.

Its maximum output is comparable to Reiko's instantaneous maximum output. Well, it is 11.5 times larger and 267 times heavier than Reiko, so it is not surprising.

Or perhaps, Reiko who can produce the same power, even momentarily, is extraordinary.

Let's digress.

First, we activate the Hide function of Condor 1 at its maximum output.

Hyde is a sub-magic of Stealth, and has only the effect of silencing the presence of others. However, it is enough now that there is no one around.

The army golems Land 21 to 24, who arrived by Raptor, are on the lookout for anyone approaching the area.

After these preparations, the work began.

Daedalah, with her tremendous power and precise movements, cleared away the rocks one after another without breaking them. There was no need to worry about where to put them.

The reason for this is that the prototype of the Pelican 3's "Warp Gate," which does not require a receiver, is used to dispose of the ship in the ocean far to the south, according to their calculations.

And many Air Force golems are deployed near the sea where the prototypes are to be discarded, and they are supposed to measure the error.

In other words, it was an experimental operation. The results were not so bad. The maximum error was reported to be 30 meters.

In this way, the combination of Daedara and the <> had cleared the rocks that blocked the road in only 15 minutes.

<

The old man gave the following orders. Ten Smith golems fly out of the warp gate on Raptor 2.

As instructed, they cleared away the fine rock debris that littered the roadway and applied <> to the collapsed areas, effectively stopping any further collapse.

The areas that had been gouged out by the rocks were filled in with the scattered debris, and the entire area was hardened to make it stronger.

.

The old man fitted a metal plate he had prepared in advance into the restored rock wall. It has the following inscription,

"May 7, 3457, Nostalgia restored" is engraved on it.

is inscribed on the plate.

Now that Nostalgia is becoming a subordinate organization of Horai Island, it cannot be said to be a complete lie.

After that, all Golem and all aircrafts are withdrawn.

All that remained was a neatly restored road.

* * * *

"Oh, oh, oh!　What the hell happened?"

Early the next morning, the soldiers who had blocked off the road to prevent danger came on patrol and shouted in surprise.

"What the hell happened in the middle of the night?

What in the world happened in the middle of the night?" "Nostalgia!

There was some confusion, but that morning the passage was permitted, and Locke and the five others passed through without incident. They reached Toka village in the evening of the same day, and the rest house the next day.

The scene was discovered by Land R. and S., who were on a secret reconnaissance mission.

So we kept them out of sight until they returned to the village, and by the afternoon of the 9th, they all returned safely to the village of Kaina.
