Magicraft Meister Part 1

When Jin said he had no desire for girls, the emperor rolled his eyes.

"Jin-kun, is that ...... what you mean?"

"What do you mean by that,......?"

Jin could not answer in such a way. The Empress changed her question.

"Not a girl, but, you know, a smaller girl, or, on the contrary, a girl who is much older than you."

"No, no..."

"Well, then,...... do you want a man?"

"Why would you say that?"

Jin held his head. He had never thought that the normally intelligent and resolute emperor would say something like this.

"I didn't think she'd say something like that to a doll ......."

"Please don't do that. ......"

It was easy for the empress to see that Jin was seriously denying it, so she decided to drop the subject for now.

(Actually, I wish she would get together with Erza or Saki.)

Without saying a word about it, the emperor changed the subject.

"There are so many things we don't know about demons, aren't there? I'm worried.

"I guess so. But I will do what I can.

"Yes, if I hear your words, Jin, you will be a great help to us all. We will do what we can do in our country, so please tell us anything you want.

"Yes, I will."

The flight continued in silence for a while.

When Miyagi came into sight.

"I wish I had the ...... power."

The emperor muttered in a small voice.

Power?

Yes, power. Human resources, economy, weapons. I want more and more power to protect the people."

"......"

Jin could not say anything as these words were squeezed out from the depths of his heart.

But the old man, with the help of Reiko, who was there with him, was listening to him carefully.

The hot-air balloon landed safely at the plaza in front of Miyagi Castle.

The Prime Minister rushes to the Empress, who has stepped on the ground again, taking her by the hand of Jin who landed first.

"Your Majesty, I am so happy for your safe return."

"Yes, thank you. The flight was very comfortable and without any danger.

The Empress turned around and smiled at Jin.

"Thank you, Sir Jin Nido.

The group returned to the meeting room in the palace.

Stearina and Vivian were waiting there.

"Mr. Jin, she, Vivian, is the second registered foreigner living in the Shoro Kingdom," the Empress herself explained.

The queen herself explains. She is so friendly that the Prime Minister is standing beside her with a puzzled look on his face.

"Oh, that's good. Will you continue to accept asylum?"

The woman emperor laughs and replies to Jin's casual question.

"Yes, I do. If the person is really in trouble, that is.

Jin remembered that there was a rumor that Her Majesty could discern the true nature of a person.

If they are in fact in a false exile, and if they are actually trying to find out the inner workings of the Shoro Empire, or to infiltrate the government in times of war...will He be able to see through that? If so, I would be relieved.

(After all, I have many friends in the Shoro Empire. ......)

) It is understandable that Jin would want to support them.

"It's ......."

Thinking about that, I missed a part of what the Empress said. It is a great disrespect.

However, perhaps sensing Jin's inner dismay, the lady emperor changed the wording and explained again.

"In other words, the Randalls, Reinhardt's family, will be taking care of the exiles for a while from now on. Taking into account Reinhardt's experience as a diplomat, you know."

Stearina, and Vivien. The Shawroe Kingdom has accepted two exiles in a short period of time.

Considering the instability of the Kingdom of Cerroa, it is hard to imagine that there will be no more defections in the future. Therefore, the Randall family is to be the first to receive them.

Jin was relieved to hear about the state of the Shoro Kingdom. The Shoro Empire had the option of not granting asylum and sending them back home.

It seems that the Shoro Kingdom prioritized securing human resources over friendship with the Kingdom of Celuloa.

Indeed, it is hard to imagine that normal diplomatic relations can be maintained with the current Kingdom of Cerroa," Jin honestly commented.

"That's why. Reinhard. I will send a letter of appointment to your family, Count Randall, in due course."

The Prime Minister concluded.

After spending the night in a guest room in Miyagi, Jin and his crew left early the next morning. Thanks to this, they arrived at Koju well before noon.

"Wow, three ocean liners, huh?"

Jin said in amazement.

Now, in addition to the that Reinhardt had built, there were two other ocean-going vessels of the same type floating in front of Jin and the others.

"Yes, they will be responsible for the water transportation of Lake Tosmo in the future. As a magical engineer, I am very happy. But I must apologize to Jin.

"Apologize for what?"

Reinhardt said with a straight face to Jin's doubtful face.

"For mass-producing the outer ring ships, you know."

But Jin laughed off the line.

That's exactly what you just said. Reinhardt just said that. "It's an engineer's pleasure to make something useful for people.

I'm relieved to hear that.

"But then I have a suggestion for you."

"Oh, that's good!　Let's hear it on the boat to Vanneh!

Stearina and Vivienne looked at them with a mixture of envy and dismay.

"Mr. Reinhardt, we are ready to leave."

"Oh, thank you. Well then, let's all go.

Reiko, Jin, Stellina, Vivienne, Noir, and finally Reinhardt get on board and the <> is launched.

The mermaid golem <> propelled the boat, making it even faster than other ocean-going vessels.

Even though it is summer, the breeze across the lake is cool. Stearina and Vivienne enjoyed the ride on the lake with the wind in their face.

And what about Jin and Reinhardt?

"...... and put the deck up and cover the front and back of the outer ring with ......."

"Hmmm, that will make it easier to get in and out of the boat. ......"

"I'd also like to see a splash cover."

"Yeah, and ......"

That's really all we talked about on the boat from Koju to Banneh.

"...... you are so close."

Vivienne's face was already beyond disgusted.

"That's good. It's a sign of peace."

Stearina replies with a smile.

The future is uncertain and dark. But the light that shines through it is definitely here.
