Magicraft Meister Part 1

367 - - 12-17 Edgar

When we returned to the village of Kaina, it was just time for lunch.

"Welcome back, Mr. Jin. Erza, welcome home."

Meine greets me. The smell in the air suggested that she was baking bread.

"We have freshly baked bread."

Jin and Reiko went to Martha's house.

"Oh Jin, what is that you are holding, Reiko?

Martha asked, looking at the pot Reiko was holding.

It's a sweet bean paste. You eat it with bread. You may not like it, but it's the way we eat it in my hometown.

"Oh, Honnyan, good morning."

Hannah, who had just washed her hands, found Jin in the dining room and smiled happily.

"Hannah, I'm home. ...... now, please try it."

Jin took the initiative to scoop the red bean paste with a spoon and put it on the bread.

The others followed suit and put the red bean paste on the bread.

Those who took a bite were surprised at how sweet it was.

"It's so sweet!"

Hannah's smiling face. This is what Jin wanted to see the most.

She was worried that she had not brought a souvenir.

"It's delicious, Jin-bro!"

"It's sweet. A little smear is enough.

"Jin-sama, is it called 'anko'? It doesn't look good, but it's delicious.

They drink the salty soup and eat the sweet bread. Jin is relieved that everyone seems to like the taste of red bean paste.

(But it would be impossible to grow sugarcane in Kaina village. ...... then I would like to find sugar beets too.)

Sugar is a precious commodity, so we can't eat it often unless we are self-sufficient.

(But maybe once in a while to prevent cavities.)

(But it might be good to eat it once in a while to prevent cavities.) Seeing Hannah's face with her front teeth missing, Jin thought about that too.

After finishing the meal, Jin went to Horai Island again with Erza.

(Tomorrow, I'll spend all the time with Hannah. ......)

(I'll spend all my time with Hannah tomorrow. )

"Well, Erza..."

Facing Erza across the workbench at the workshop, Jin sets Erza a new challenge.

"Make an automata.

"...... what?"

Erza could not believe her ears. She wondered if she, who had only just begun to learn magecraft, would be able to make one.

"Elsa is already skilled enough. All she lacks is experience. I'll be watching you.

"............"

Erza could not say no to Jin's words.

"Yes, I'll give it a try.

She nodded her head and thought about the procedure.

"...... skeleton,magi device,muscle,head,skin,control core ......"

"Yeah, that's about right. Don't start out with anything too big, but start with something about Reiko's size."

Hitoshi patted Reiko on the shoulder beside him.

"...... got it."

Still a little unsure, Erza began to sort through the materials.

"I think I'll start with the light silver I'm used to."

Jin advised. Elsa was familiar with light silver since she had been working with it on a regular basis.

However, neither Jin nor Erza realized that light silver is not a material that a beginner would normally use.

The reason why Jin recommended Elsa to use light silver is simple. A familiar material can be used with less loss of magic power during processing.

Jin has no problem with it, but even though Erza is suffering from excessive magic power, if she uses up all her magic power, it will appear as a physical disorder.

This was the case the other day when she learned "genesung.

Erza listens to Jin's advice and decides to use light silver. Since light silver is a material that Jin often uses, it is always available in large quantities.

"<>"

Erza immediately begins processing. It seems that she has settled on a plan.

Jin silently stares at her, but inwardly he remembers the first time he remade Reiko (before he named her Reiko).

After more than a dozen processes, the skeleton of an automata doll was created in front of Erza. It seems that the experience of making a similar mascot doll had come in handy.

"...... How do you like it, Brother Jin?"

Erza asks Jin's face timidly. Jin smiled and nodded.

"You passed. You've improved, Erza.

Erza also smiled when she heard those words.

"Now, here's a little trick. To prevent your joints from wearing down ......"

She took out a small amount of adamantite,

"<>"

Plating on the surface.

"This reduces friction and increases durability. Try it."

Jin makes Erza do all the other joints. Elsa lived up to his expectations and mastered his techniques.

With Jin watching over her, she continued to build for the next four hours.

"...... is done."

Erza had finally completed her first automata. Jin checked every detail and assured her that there were no problems at all.

The doll is boyish in appearance. His hair is platinum blonde like Elsa's. His eyes are also light blue, though they are closed and not visible.

"...... Jin, how long does it take you to make one?"

Elsa asked, relieved to have finished making the doll.

"Well, about an hour, I guess."

That is a modest figure. If we were serious, we could make it more than twice as fast, no doubt in less than half an hour.

However, these days, the old man and the craftsman (Smith) have already done the preliminary work for me, so I rarely have to build from scratch.

"I'll do my best at ......."

He gently patted Elsa on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go and make the last one,

"Come on, this is the last job, let's start it up.

He urged her on.

"Yes. ......<>"

In response to the key word, the automata slowly got up.

"Nice to meet you, creator.

"Erza, give her a name."

"Yes. ...... your name is ."

Yes, my name is .

Thus, Edgar was born as Elsa's first automata.

Reiko watched him with a smile. Perhaps she was remembering the time when she was created.

Erza is not aware of it, but Edgar's basic control system is the same as those of Reiko's subordinates, Soleil and Luna.

Thanks to the knowledge transfer (trans-info) he performed as a formal disciple of Jin, he is now able to use the basic control magic (control system) of the Adriana system.

Erza does not know what this means.

Likewise, Jin does not know either. This is why Reinhardt told her that she should know the standards of the world.

The two of them became such a like-minded master and disciple.

I'll leave you with this.

"So, all we need now is some clothes..."

Edgar is still naked.

"Well, I don't think Elsa knows much about men's underwear, and we don't have much time, so I'll make it for her. This is a celebration of Elsa's first automata.

Jin takes a piece of cloth woven with the threads of a ground spider from the shelf and quickly makes a pair of trunks. From the woven cloth, he makes a T-shirt. The trunks are carefully elasticized.

It took about five minutes.

Erza, watching nearby, felt her confidence, which had grown a little, crumble. But she soon recovers.

"...... someday, me too."

Perhaps Erza's best quality is her perseverance.

Her jacket was dyed black and made to look like a blazer. She even wears a bowtie, making her feel like a young man.

"Well, here we go."

"...... is cool."

There stood Erza's first automata, Edgar, dressed like a Showa-era monk.

He was wearing a black blazer and black pants. A white shirt and a black bow tie. White socks and black leather shoes.

"Thank you, Mr. Jin."

Edgar bowed with that. His gesture was perfect.
