Magicraft Meister Part 1

"By the way, Mr. Bafrosque..."

Anne opened her mouth.

"What?　What is it?"

"I'm sorry, but could you please gather the remaining members of the clan?"

What do you mean?

"Yes, actually. ......"

The old man's instructions. It was to see if any of the <> clans might have a transmigration marker.

"Nonsense!　Are you saying there is a traitor?"

Bafrosk was furious, as expected. But Anne responds in a nonchalant manner.

No, it's not like that. No, it's not that. It's just that some people may be using it unintentionally. is cunning."

"......"

Bafrosque could make no further protests, so he called all the surviving members of the clan together. There were 18 of them.

Is that all of them?

"Is that all of them?　...... hmm?　Hey, where's Donaisia?

What?　She was supposed to be there a minute ago. ......

Find her!

By order of Bahrovsk, the eighteen men scattered to the four winds in search of the clan member named Doneicia.

"......muu......"

Bafrosque with a difficult look on his face. Anne's words seemed to have taken on weight.

Meanwhile, Jin had finished analyzing the gargoyle.

"This seems to be the core of magic power to cause an "ether stampede".

It is half collapsed after releasing all of its free magical element (ether), but there seems to be no mistake.

"This must be the operational core. With this, we should be able to locate No. 13.

Bahrovsk reacted to this muttering.

"Jin!　No, Jin-dono!　Is that true?　Where the hell is he?

He was about to snap at me.

"I'm looking for him right now, but so far all I can tell you is that he's up north of ......."

"I see. ......"

Then one of the clan members returned.

"Clan leader!　We found Donaisia!　She's running north."

"What?"

Bahrovsk's eyes flashed darkly.

"After him!　But we'll catch him last. Find out how far they're going.

It was a simple idea: if Donatia was being controlled by No. 13, then No. 13 must be where she was headed.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Donecia cannot use transfer magic. Therefore, it seems that she is running with only physical reinforcement, and three people who can use transfer magic are chasing after her.

(...... how far is she going to go?)

(Oh...) I've been running for an hour now. (Yeah. We've been running for an hour now.)

Donaisia runs at a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour. That means we've run 40 kilometers.

And after another 10 kilometers or so.

Donacia stopped.

（Oh, it stopped.)

（In the middle of the middle of nowhere?)

There was nothing but plain as far as the eye could see. It was nothing but a plain of grayish-brown wilderness. Dead grass and shrubs added a slight accent.

Donnyshia turned around.

"...... you think you've been following me?"

That's what she said to the three of us.

An empty plain. Nothing to hide behind. Naturally, their pursuers were in full view.

"...... Are you stupid?"

Donatia is 92 years old. A human would be 18.

Long black hair and golden eyes. She had good style and was popular among the clans. Lardus seemed to be a little concerned about her. Such a female demoness.

But what was on her face now was an evil smile.

"Aren't you going home yet?"

Three hours have passed since we sent them off. Bafrosque was frustrated that he had not heard from them.

In case the three ...... and Donaisia did not return, the clan would be down to sixteen members. The clan had counted 10,000 members.

On the other hand, the old man had already identified the place where he thought No. 13 was hiding.

At the same time, he wonders if he should tell Bafrosk the information. In the end, Jin decides to tell them, because if he doesn't tell them, they might resent him later.

"We found out where the base of No. 13 seems to be. It is about 100 kilometers north-northwest of here. It's underground, on the banks of the river.

< told him this, Bafrosk stood up, as expected.

"What are you going to do?"

Jaralldos, who was also present, called out to him. Bafrosk turned his bloodshot eyes on him and replied, "It's obvious.

"It's obvious. We are going there.

Jaralldos wanted to ask, <>, but when he looked into Bahroosk's bloodshot eyes, he could not say anything else.

"The rest of the clans!　Gather!"

Fifteen men gathered in front of Bafrosk.

"We will now attack the enemy's stronghold to avenge our clan!"

There was a roar of approval. It seemed that the resentment had built up.

In the next ten minutes or so, the <> clansmen were all gone.

And some people from the <><>> clan seemed to have followed them.

"...... old man, are you sure?"

Jin was talking to the old man on the island of Horai.

"But they're not the kind of people you can handle, are they?"

<

"Hmmm...... you mean to raise their awareness?"

<<

The old man was saying radical things, but he was going to support them so that no one would die, which Jin hated.

I would like the extremists who believe in the supremacy of merit to know that they are not as strong as they think they are, and to keep quiet for the time being.

Lando and the others will be returned to Horai Island by the transporter of Capricorn 1, and sent out by the transporter after taking turns. This will take more time and effort, but they will be able to reach their destinations faster.

In this case, I sent out 20 pieces from Land 11 to 30.

"Old man, the place where No. 13 is located has nothing to do with the base of No. 001, right?"

<

Jin crossed his arms and made a difficult face.

"So the place where the 13th is located is another one?"

"So we don't even know what kind of facility it is."

<<

"I don't think that's all."

At that moment Reiko appeared. She had come to see Jin's face before going to the base of No.13 again by transporter.

"Father..."

"Oh, Reiko. I'm sorry for all you've been through.

No, it's nothing like that.

Reiko squints at Jin's hand patting her head.

You'll have to hang on a little longer, won't you?

I'll leave it to you.

"Please."

Jin then replenishes the aethenol in his , which he has already used once. Now the number of usable times is back to two.

I should have made it a cartridge type, he thinks now, but there is no time now.

"I'll be off then."

Reiko receives the transfer gun, bows to Jin, and leaves the control room.

At the same time, Jin was thinking about how to settle this mess as soon as possible.
