Magicraft Meister Part 1

"Wow, this is a great view!

"This is exhilarating!"

A technology exposition was held in Koju, Shoro.

At the exposition, Jin presented a miniature craftsman (Smith) and an airship measuring 10 centimeters in height. As the person with the best magical technology, he was awarded the title of <>, although only in the Shoro Empire.

And now, he is flying with Prince Ernest of the Kingdom of Egelea and Princess Rieschen of the Kingdom of Klein in his airship.

"Jin is really great, isn't he? He's so much better than Marcus.

"Yes, thank you."

"Mr. Ernest, you had me on the edge of my seat that time. ......

Ha-ha-ha. Sorry, Rys.

That time must have been when I criticized Marcus's golem, saying that it was not enough.

Princess Rieschen was not a good belly-button trickster either, Jin thought, but he could understand others even if he couldn't understand himself.

"Oh, there's a beautiful bird flying over there!

"Where is it, Rys?　I can't see it."

Princess Rieschen, who has a magic eye for distance vision, can see things far away that Jin and Ernest can never see.

So perhaps she was enjoying this flight the most.

"You two seem to have gotten along very well, haven't you?

Prince Ernest smiled and Princess Rieschen's cheeks turned a little.

With these two on board, Jin flew for a full hour and returned to Koju.

"Oh, that was fun!　Jin, please give us a ride again!"

"Master Ernest, don't bother Jin too much. If something happens to our royalty on board, it will be an international problem.

Prince Ernest is 13 and Princess Rieschen is 12. Princess Rieschen looked a little older than Prince Ernest.

"Welcome home, Magecraft Meister, Sir Gin Nidor."

They were greeted on the ground by Gerhard Hilde von Rubies Shawlo, the Shawlo Empress, and Jung Fors von Köbsler, the Prime Minister of the Shawlo Kingdom.

Since the prince and princess are guests of honor, they are being entertained by the queen herself.

The lady emperor also looked like she was eager to get on the airship, but she had to hold back her tears because she was now in the company of Prince Ernest and Princess Rieschen.

After dropping them off, Jin was finally released, but he had to carry about 120 people who wanted to ride on the boat, as he had promised yesterday.

"It's a nightmare. ......"

All this because he presented an unorthodox work, an airship. It was his own fault.

The 120 people who wanted to experience the airship were loaded two at a time, and each flight lasted five minutes. It took about five hours to complete the flight for all the participants.

"Uu......"

Back in his hotel room, Reiko offered him Persica juice as he was lounging on the sofa.

It was specially made in Horaijima and had the effect of relieving fatigue. But that is just a normal person's story.

Jin's body is mostly composed of magic atoms (magiatoms), ...... more precisely. The parts of his body that were missing when he fell into a blast furnace pot on the modern Earth are made up by Magiatoms.

Therefore, poisons and medicines have no effect on Jin. I have been thinking of taking the time to investigate the mechanism of metabolism, but I have been too busy with other things and have neglected it until today.

I'll leave you with a quiet word.

Jin, feeling refreshed after drinking Persica juice, got up on the sofa.

Just then Elsa and Meane returned. Edgar was with them.

"Welcome back. How are you?"

A formal and detailed interview was taking place after the disappearance.

Yeah, everything was fine.

"Yes, I just wanted to record my explanation."

The old man had prepared his answers in advance, so there was no problem. Especially if the Empress is not here.

The fact that Her Majesty the Queen gave her permission the other day is a big deal.

"Good for you! So what's the plan?"

If Viscount Georg Randall has fallen and there is a strong possibility that he will be punished in some way, Elsa's return home is in limbo.

The treatment of the Viscount is still disputed. It is quite possible that the family will be demolished.

"Well, for the time being, I'm going to be under the care of my brother Rai.

Erza's explanation made sense to Jin.

"I see.

Since she is Jin's disciple and Reinhardt is his hostess, it is only natural that she should be treated as such.

This way, there is no problem for her to work with Jin.

And Saki?　Have you heard anything?"

Saki had gone to support the ailing Marquis Gehlen Theodoric von Eisen and had not been seen since the technology exposition.

"Saki's sister is with the Marquis, apparently."

"Hmm. ......"

They said behind my back that I'm an old man or something, but they are still my blood relatives.

"I guess it's the blood bond. They say blood is thicker than water.

When Jin said these words, Erza's face clouded slightly.

"Oh, sorry, Elsa."

Recently, Jin has learned to recognize the changes in Erza's facial expressions.

She had been disciplined as a little girl and had not been able to show her emotions on her face, but recently she has started to show some expressions appropriate for her age.

She has recently begun to show her age-appropriate expressions. "......No, it's okay. Don't worry about it."

Elsa was shocked yesterday when her father, Viscount Georg Randall, threw a few harsh words at her.

"...... I wonder how the Viscount is doing?"

Meane said to shift the subject a little.

"Yes, it is certainly a cause for concern. If it's a stroke, ...... wait a minute?"

Jin had something on his mind, though he was too busy to think about it calmly.

"Didn't Reinhardt say that Erza's father has had a stroke before?"

"...... yes."

"Erza was on a trip, is there any possibility that her personality changed before and after the trip?"

"Yes!"

It was Meane who answered with a burst of energy.

"That man ...... had always been stubborn and power-oriented, but in his own way he had listened to the advice of those around him. However, after he had fallen ill and recovered, he became self-absorbed. He became angry, and he also began to hit his subordinates when he didn't like them."

"Ummm ......"

When Jin heard Meene's story, the word <> came to mind.

Elsa did not seem to understand it, but it seems that the initial knowledge transfer (trans-info) did not give her that much knowledge.

Dementia can also be caused by cerebral infarction, i.e., a blockage of minute blood vessels in the brain. In such cases, changes in personality are often observed.

Most of them become angry and act out of character.

In the modern world where Jin grew up, such symptoms were often shown on TV, and he used to watch the Director because he was worried about him, so he knows a little about it.

"Are you worried?"

"...... don't know, no."

Jin thought that no matter how many harsh words were thrown at them, the fact that they were still father and son might not change.

It was a feeling that Jin could not understand, even if he wanted to.

"......If you're going to visit him, I'll go with you, okay?"

Erza's shoulders shook at his words.

"......"

But Elsa remained down and did not reply. Reiko speaks up in her place.

"What if, what if?　If Elsa's father's personality changed because of the <> that your father mentioned, if the <> can be cured, will his personality return to normal?"

"E......"

Elsa's face rose at his words.

"I also wonder what Marcus was doing. He said that his purpose was to gather information, but the fact that he created Goliath leads me to believe that he was doing something else. I think it is necessary to know that."

So far, no one but Jin, Reiko, the old man and Anne know that Marcus was a pawn of the demon tribe.

In fact, Regulus 50, who had followed Marcus, had secured him when he suddenly collapsed just before the territory of the demon tribe.

He said that it was like a puppet with broken strings falling down.

After securing him, they carried him to a nearby town and took care of him, and he soon regained consciousness.

However, Markas did not remember anything that had happened up to that point. We are sure of this, because we used transinfo to find out.

The old man had to guess so. Otherwise, there was no explanation. That would explain the fact that his knowledge was like a wormhole.

However, Marcus did not remember who was controlling him.

Therefore, it was highly possible, but not certain, that Marcus was being manipulated by a demon tribe. Therefore, Jin did not tell anyone about this. He did not want to cause unnecessary confusion.

But he would tell the Horaijima family soon. But since Saki was not here, I had to put it off.

"...... that's for sure."

Elsa nodded at Reiko's words.

In order to untangle the tangled threads, it would be necessary to go to the residence of Viscount Georg Randall. This could only be done by Jin and Erza.

"...... got it. Jin, I'll go.

"Okay, we'll head there tomorrow then."
