Magicraft Meister Part 1

June 18, the second day before the technical exhibition.

Jin adjusts his schedule and decides to return to Banne, Shoro before noon. He plans to take Erza and Meane with him later.

Just before returning, the old man reported to Jin and gave him some kind of magic crystal (magicrystal).

"At last, I have finished analyzing a little about gravity magic. The details are recorded in the magi crystal.

Jin's face lit up when he received the crystal from Lao Tzu.

"You did a good job, Mr. Lao. Keep up the good work. I'm going to ...... now."

"Yes, my lord. Go ahead."

Jin then passed through the warp gate.

"Hello Jin, it's been three days, hasn't it?"

Saki greeted him in front of his house. He had met Saki three days earlier on Horai Island.

"Oh, yes. Did you finish your paper?"

"Yes, it's all done. I also finished the Golem manuscript.

The golem codex, as the name implies, is a technique of having a golem transcribe.

Since printing technology is not yet available, it is ultimately handwritten. Since it is very difficult to transcribe by hand, golems are used.

The writing speed is faster than that of humans, and no mistakes are made. In addition, since they do not take breaks, it is said that they are almost three times faster than humans overall.

The golem on Horai Island could write more than three times faster than humans, but Jin was not foolish enough to say so.

Saki led Jin into the house, and he noticed that the house had been cleaned up beyond recognition. When he honestly told Saki about it, she smiled shyly and said.

"Kuhu, thanks to Aaru, the walls, floors, and ceilings are now clean. He even reupholstered and repainted the damaged parts.

And then he turned back to his straight face.

"I guess I couldn't afford it either. I was in such a hurry to make the transition from apprentice to full-fledged professional. I was careless about what I wore, what I ate, my habits were a mess. I was a fool.

Saki takes a breath. Just then Aal came in with a cup of tea. Saki took a sip of it and continued her story.

"I saw it when I saw Erza. She can cook now and she teaches the children. And yet, she has grown so much as a Magical Engineer (Magi Engineer)...... and a Magical Craftsman (Magi Craftsman). I really can't compete with him."

In the end, it seems that Saki was also trying too hard to be considered a full-fledged magi by the government.

"I managed to pay all the unpaid salaries to those who quit. A little extra to make up for it."

"I'm glad to hear that."

Thanks to you, I'm broke.

"Ha ha ......"

After chatting for a while, the topic of conversation naturally turned to the technology expo.

"What happened to Jin's luggage, or rather, his works?"

Jin answered Saki's question with a smile.

"They are already loaded on the ship that Reinhardt built and floating on Lake Tosmo.

"Well, that's a surprise. I wonder if you will tell me how you did it?

"Of course I will."

After this conversation, Jin pulls out the carriage. He intends to take the carriage, which is equipped with a warp gate, to Koju, where the exposition will be held.

The entrance part of the barn of Saki's house was not big enough to put Jin's carriage in and out, so Jin remodeled it after breaking it once so that he could easily remove it and reassemble it.

Thanks to this, he was able to pull the carriage out of the barn this time by simply removing the wall above the entrance.

"I wonder when my barn was built like this?

Jin bowed his head and apologized to Saki, who laughed mischievously.

"I'm so sorry!　I had to remodel it without telling you. I apologize. If you want me to fix it, I'll fix it right away."

Saki laughed at his words and waved her hand,

"Ha, I don't care about that. It's an unused barn anyway, and we're a <>, right?"

Jin laughed along with her.

"Thank you."

That afternoon, Jin, Saki, Reiko, Aaru, and two others went to Reinhardt's house.

"Hi Jin, Saki. It's finally time for the exposition.

Reinhardt greeted them with a smile.

The group moves to Reinhardt's private room. Reinhardt's father, Wolfgang, had already left for Koju.

"Welcome, Mr. Jin, Saki-san.

Bertsche made us a cup of fragrant tea.

"The paddle boat is on the lake Tosmo."

"Yes, the old man told me. Thank you."

I have been entrusting the manacam to Reinhardt for a long time.

Speaking of leaving the manacam, he remembered that he had left Licia and Pascoe with the magical tools for healing, recovery medicine, healing potions, and the golem horse.

(Well, Licia probably didn't misuse or abuse them, but I'll have to retrieve them soon.)

They stayed at Reinhardt's house that night and headed for Koju the next morning.

"I heard that Prince Ernest of the Kingdom of Egelea is coming to visit us, and that a magecraftsman from the Kingdom of Celuloa is coming as well."

Reinhardt added that since the Kingdom of Cerroa was not yet stable, no royalty would be coming.

"I'm looking forward to it."

"Yes, indeed. I wonder how many will receive the title of "Magi Engineer Maestro" this year. Well, I'm sure it will be Jin, but I'd like to have one too if I could.

The title "Magi Engineer Maestro" is given to the foremost magi engineer in the Shoro Empire. It is not limited to one person, and can be given to any number of people if they are recognized as excellent.

(Your father is even higher than those people, though.)

Reiko, who was standing by my side, was thinking such a thing in her mind, though she did not say it out loud.

The next day, on the 19th, Jin and the others came to the hotel.

The next day, the 19th, Jin and his party left Randall's house at 8:00 in the morning.

The route was the exact opposite of the last time they crossed the lake from Koju.

When they arrived at Lake Tosmo via the waterway, they found an ocean-going boat built by Reinhardt floating there. Lorelei is guarding it. On board was Regulus 41, a member of the 5th Quinta in charge of the Shoro Empire.

Lorelei was a mermaid golem made by Reinhardt, and after participating in the golem boat competition in Potrock, she had to be carried as baggage on the wagon all the way back to her home country, as she could not walk in mermaid form.

I had put it on the wagon loaded with food and water, but it was partially damaged when the golem <>, controlled by <>, attacked us just before the village of Rufaat.

It was Elsa who noticed the damage.

Erza and Lorelei had competed together in Potrock, and Erza wanted to see Lorelei in action again. She wanted to see Lorelei working again. So she took Lorelei out of the competition without telling Reinhardt and was fixing it together with Jin.

When he explained this, Reinhard scratched his head and apologized to Lorelei.

"I'm sorry, Lorelei, for the delay in fixing it. I'm sorry, Lorelei, for being late in fixing it and for not being able to fix it myself.

"No, my dear creator, don't worry about it. I will give you the boat.

"Lorelei, thank you."

Reinhard thanked Lorelei and looked at the ocean-going ship.

It was 15 meters long and 3 meters wide. It is classified as a medium-size boat for Lake Tosmo. The shape of the hull is long and streamlined. It is a high-speed type suitable for Lake Tosmo where the waves are calm.

"All right, Mack, Mick, get in. Mack, you're on the right, Mick, you're on the left outer wheel."

"Yes, Mr. Creator."

The twin golems have boarded the outer ship.

"What is the name of your ship?

Bertsche asked. Reinhardt said the name of the ship as if he had been waiting for it.

"I have already decided. The name of the ship is the .

"Scarlett Trail ......?

Scarlet means scarlet. It's a bright, vivid red, full of life. It was also the gift name of Berthe.

The nobles of the Shoro Kingdom take their first name, family name, phone, and given name in that order, but the last given name is the name given by the royal family or higher nobility when a person reaches adulthood (16 years old for boys and 14 years old for girls). In this sense, it is a name of honor.

Berthe's given name, Scarlett, was given to her by Her Imperial Highness Princess Charlotte Alina von Rinal Shawlo, sister of the previous emperor and sister of the current emperor.

This may explain why the bottom of the hull is painted red.

Reinhardt held out his hand to Bertsche, who blushed,

"Belle, this ship is dedicated to you.

With these words, he moves onto the Scarlet Trail, or the Scarlet Trail.

"Very Reinhardt."

Saki, who was watching the scene, muttered with a wry smile.

"Jin, Claude will take the wagons and luggage on another ship. You guys can get on board.

Reinhardt called out to Jin, and he too decided to get on board. He was not sure whether to take Saki's hand or not, and he lost his balance on the pier.

She said, "Father, it's dangerous!

In the end, Reiko helped him up and he got on the Scarlet Trail with her. It was not something I was used to doing.

The hull is flat-bottomed for good stability.

At the bow are Reinhardt, Bertsche, Noir, and Neon. The outer rings are attached to the left and right sides of the center of the bow, and Mack and Mick drive them.

In the rear of the hull are Jin, Saki, Reiko, Aaru, and Lorelei. Lorelei is the rescuer in case of emergency.

This was about the balance of the group.

"Come on, let's go! <

Reinhardt gives the signal, and Mack and Mick begin to turn the outer wheel. Driven by their strong arms, the outer wheels kick up a powerful rush of water as the Scarlet Trail pulls away from the pier.

"Wow, that's pretty fast!

Jin is impressed. That's quite a feat for a ship of this size.

The Scarlet Trail continues to glide along Lake Tosmo.

Seeing no other boats around, Reinhardt decides to test the maximum speed.

"All right, full speed!　Lorelei, please."

The specially designed Golem, Mack and Mick, proved to be up to the task, their splashing, spinning outer rims sending the Scarlet Trail whizzing by like an arrow.

And Lorelei in the water gave them an extra boost. How could it not be fast?

"Roughly 40 kilometers an hour."

That's faster than the Golem boat at Potrock. Considering the number of people on board, that's quite astonishing.

"But, well, it's a little hard to keep up."

The only regret is that the mana tanks and mana drivers cannot keep up.

(I guess the technology that Jin has can do it, but it makes sense for me to make it up as I go along with what I have.)

Reinhardt had his own pride.

And even so, the Scarlet Trail is more than a first-class ship.

"You're fast, dear. The fastest in Lake Tosmo."

There's no doubt about it. Except for Jin's Hydro series, she's probably one of the fastest boats in the world.

All the boats passing by on the lake were astonished at the speed of the Scarlet Trail.
