Magicraft Meister Part 1

"If possible, would you mind if I talk to your grandchildren?　I would like to ask him what kind of dolls he likes."

Putting aside for the moment the subject of delivery time, Jin wanted to meet his grandson.

The reason was that he wanted to know what kind of dolls he liked. Jin, who is not good at designing, wanted to hear from his grandson what he liked if possible.

"Ummm. I don't want to be here for too long. ......"

Salut Berlusi said, but led Jin to the third floor.

The room was in the best location on the third floor, facing south.

"Youth, I'm coming in.

Salute knocked and opened the door.

"Ah, grandpa."

Lying on the bed by the window was a girl a little smaller than Hannah. She had beautiful blonde hair, green eyes, and morbidly white skin.

"Okkyuu-sama?"

The girl looked at Jin, who was behind Salute, and made a face that said she had seen something unusual.

"Yes. Nice to meet you, I'm Jin. This is Reiko."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Youth. ......

Youth coughed during the greeting. Not just once, but a wheezing, endless, almost coughing cough.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Salute comes close to him with a worried look on her face, turns her body to the side and rubs her back.

The coughing still didn't seem to subside. Jin, unable to bear the sight, rushes over to him,

"<>" he said.

and he casts a healing spell on him. The coughing somehow subsides.

Yousu, who seemed to be in a great deal of pain, looked distorted and distressed.

The pain of respiratory disease is the inability to . Jin, who has seen children at the orphanage coughing from a cold, sees Yousu in pain and wants to do something to help him.

"Well, has this cough been going on for a long time?

Naturally, it was his grandfather Salute who answered Jin's question.

"Yes. Yes, it is. And so I cough several times a day. Thank you for the treatment at ...... Jin-dono.

When Yuth's breathing finally calmed down, he looked at Jin and tried to say something. But Jin interrupted him.

"Oh, you shouldn't talk yet. Let's try again just to be sure.

After two rounds of healing magic, Youth's color has improved considerably.

(......It's most likely childhood asthma. ......)

There were two children with asthma in the orphanage where Jin had been, so he had some idea of what was going on.

(I think the most common cause was allergies. ...... mites or something like that.)

) It seems to be even worse for his respiratory system since it is very dry in this area.

(I wonder if there are ticks ...... or not!)

"Reiko, come here for a minute."

"Yes, Father."

Your eyes can magnify up to 100 times. Take a look on the futon and see if there are any creatures.

Jin tells Reiko to do so and looks around the room.

It is warm. And there are several tubs of hot water around the room, indicating that the room is humidified.

(Hmmm, if I'm right, ......)

While Jin was thinking about this, Reiko informed him of the results of what she had seen.

"Father, there were really small, tiny creatures, and a lot of their corpses."

"What did they look like?"

Yes, oval-shaped, I'd say. Eight legs.

I knew it was a mite.

Allergic reactions caused by inhalation of the carcasses and feces of small house dust mites, known as house dust mites, are a major cause of childhood asthma.

The official Japanese names for these mites are the mites Blechnia japonica and B. leucochrysalis. They feed on human dirt and fallen hair, and do not suck blood, so it is difficult to notice their presence.

They prefer a << hot and humid> environment. In other words, humidification, even if well-meaning, is counterproductive.

"Well, I noticed it because I'm Reiko, but Gloria's father ...... I forgot his name, if you have a microscopic magic eye like his, ...... you can make one if you don't have one."

Something flipped a switch in Jin.

"Jin-dono?"

Salute called out to Jin, bringing him back to himself. Jin came back to reality and reconsidered the youth problem in front of him. So he decides to go out of the room.

"What does the doctor ...... say?"

I ask Salute,

"He said he had a weak throat and a cough from birth. I've been trying to keep the room warm and humid, but there's no cure.

"I see. ......"

It seems that he does not think that he is allergic to dust mites.

"So what?　Does it have something to do with automata?

"No, I hope that the disease will be lessened, regardless of the automata.

When Jin said this, Salute bit down.

"What?　Are you telling me that you can cure my grandson's illness?

Jin was a little taken aback by the force of the comment, but then he decided that it was an expression of his concern for his grandson, and explained what he was thinking.

"There are tiny, invisible creatures in the bedding and in the room," he said.

"Breathing in their carcasses and feces creates toxins in your body and makes you sick.

These are the two points.

"Hmmm, that's a story I don't believe for a minute. ......"

Jin thought he would say so, so he thought of a way to convince them.

A microscope.

It was again a story from the orphanage days, when he and a young child made a for homework during the summer vacation.

A PET bottle was cut short, a small hole was made in the lid, and a transparent glass ball was inserted into the hole.

The focus is adjusted by turning a screw on the lid. It is a simple structure, but it was useful in its own way. Although there is no PET bottle, it is easy for Jin to use it now.

"Well, the proof is in the pudding.

Jin then returned to the room he had just been in.

"Hey, Jin, what's up?"

There, Reinhardt was chatting with Reimer Gebhardtof.

"Would you like to see it, Reinhardt?　Mr. Salute, I'll take one glass."

He asks Salyut to let him use one of the clear glasses made of crystal.

"<>"

"Oh?

This is a precision process that only the Magecraft Meister, Jin, can perform.

"Hmm, what are you going to do with such a ball?　Well, what's next, a cup?　No, no. ......"

Reinhard, Reimer Gebhardt, Salut Berlusi, and Matheus watch with interest as Jin uses the crystals to create one part after another.

"It's done."

And the resulting simple microscope.

The microscope is a spherical lens with a diameter of about three millimeters, which must be fixed to the object to be observed without shaking. It would also be better if the lens could be moved back and forth for focusing.

What Jin has created is a tool with exactly such a function. All of the lenses are transparent crystals, so they look gorgeous.

"Well, let's take a look at this first.

Jin placed the microscope on the table and carefully focused it to look at the tablecloth.

"Okay, now look at it. First, Mr. Salute."

"Hmm?　Hmmm... ...... What is this?

The fibers of the threads that make up the tablecloth were clearly visible, one by one.

"This is called a microscope, and it is a tool that allows you to see small objects in a larger size.

"Here, here, here!　This is it!

"Yes, yes, Jin, this is amazing!"

"Well, Mister Jin, this will be very useful!"

The other participants looked into the microscope in turn, and each one said what he or she thought.

"Now, you see that this tool can make small things look bigger, don't you?"

"Yes."

Salute nodded broadly at Jin's words of confirmation.

"Now, take this to your grandson's room and see if you can find any dust there."

"Okay."

So Salute went alone to Youth's room, picked up the dust and came back.

"This is the dust I found in the corner of the bed. Let's take a look at it.

At this point, Salute was already half-convinced that what Jin had just said was true. However, his interest was aroused by the microscope, so he went to collect the dust.

"What the ...... is this!　Is it a monster?

he exclaimed loudly as soon as he looked at the dust under the microscope.

"What's going on?

The people present were startled by Salute's cry, and instead looked into the microscope and .......

"...... is disgusting!"

"Is there such a creature ......?"

"No way, are they the descendants of demons?

They had their own thoughts and impressions.
