Magicraft Meister Part 1

Unexpectedly, his physical problem was resolved, and Jin decided to take this opportunity to consult with the doctor to resolve another matter that had been bothering him.

"One more thing, do you know anything about <>?"

"Magic overload syndrome?　...... from the meaning of the word, is it a physical disorder caused by too much magic power?

Yes.

"Yes. It is the disease of Erza, who is now settled in Jin's sisterhood.

Thanks to the bracelet that Jin made to absorb excess magic power, she is able to live without problems, but it is only a symptomatic treatment, not a complete cure.

Jin has been searching for a solution for a long time, along with the "ether stampede.

"Hmmm. ...... has an idea."

Really?

"Really? You know how ...... free magic element (ether) can be converted into magic element (mana), don't you?

"Yes. By means of the magi-mitochondria within the cells, is that correct?"

"You call them magi-mitochondria. ...... Yes. Inside the cells of a mage coexist microorganisms that transform free magical elements (ether) into magical elements (mana)."

As if in review, No. 700672 spoke. Jin nodded silently.

"When using magic, it is the mage himself who draws free magic element (ether) from the air. It is also the mage himself who switches to non-interference with the free magical element (ether) when it is not needed.

The explanation so far had given Jin a flash of inspiration.

"...... I see!"

"I see. < take in free magic element (ether) even when they don't need it. In other words, they are not good at controlling free magic element (ether).

Now we know the reality of <>. Now we need a cure.

"What did I need to control the free magic element (ether)?"

"......<>......?"

"Correct. Perhaps there is not enough <> in the body ...... especially in the brain. To the extent that you can use magic, but you can't control the free magical element (ether).

Jin pondered. Erza is a top level magician in engineering and healing magic. Even so, could she not control the free magic element (ether)?

When I told this to No. 700672, I received a clear answer.

"You forgot about the frequency.

Yes, the frequency of magic power to use magic is different from the frequency to control free magic element (ether). Jin remembered that immediately.

"That's right. I had forgotten about that."

The 700672 looked at Jin with a smile.

"Then do you have any idea how to treat it?"

Jin replied immediately.

"Yes. The key is a , isn't it?"

"Yes. <, it will cure 99% of the patients.

There is hope. But there is one problem. <

There is a substance that looks like it, which he found underground, but he is a little hesitant to prescribe it to Erza out of the blue.

Jin judged it to be a , but he was afraid that something might happen to Erza if he used it on her.

However, a little thought reveals that my fears are unfounded.

"You only need a trace amount for ...... prescription, right?"

No. 700672 nods.

"You said you need a million units from the brain of an organism, right?　And vice versa. If I were to prescribe it to a human, a millionth of a gram would be enough."

On the other hand, it would be difficult to accurately make a solution that dilute.

"What happens if there is too much?"

"<> affects not only free magic element (ether) but also magic element (mana). In other words, the power of magic will increase dramatically or even explosively. The results can be found at ......"

"The depletion of mana in the body."

It's a symptom commonly known as "running out of mana".

"That's right. That's a problem.

I understand. Thank you.

Jin was relieved to know that he could cure Elsa's illness.

He still had about 0.1 grams of the that he had received from 700672. That was more than enough to cure Elsa's disease. That was more than enough.

"Are you saying that I should drink the <> solution?"

"Yes. < should be absorbed immediately from the stomach, travel through the body, and eventually accumulate in the brain.

With this, Erza's illness could be completely cured. Jin let out a sigh of relief.

"Hmm, from the looks of it, the patient must be someone important to Jin-dono?"

"Huh?　Yes. A good apprentice, an excellent healer, and an important ...... family member."

Jin answered, thinking of Erza's face. Reiko was the only one who noticed a slight blush on his cheeks.

With his concerns resolved, Jin decided to take this opportunity to make a proposal that he had been thinking about for some time, 700672.

"......Will you come to my place?"

He said.

"Jin-dono's place?"

"Yes. The previous generation laid the foundation and I have developed a base there. You may be able to get better medical care there.

He did not mention the name of Horai Island.

"Well, I think he was thinking of me. But I need ......

"But I also know that I need free magic element (ether). I have the means to do that as well."

Jin looks at the 700672. But the 700672 shakes his head.

"...... thank you, but I still don't want to do it."

Why not?

"......This is... This is where my husband used to live. I'm attached to it. And I have decided that this is where I will die. I do not know how many years or how many decades it will be, but when I reach the end of my life, I want to stop operating in this place full of memories."

"...... I see. ......"

"Your offer and thoughtfulness are truly appreciated. But please forgive me for my selfishness."

The 700672 bowed.

"How could I be so selfish?"

Jin then spoke up with an alternative idea that had just occurred to him.

"In that case, let me do a little more work on the surroundings."

< had been using it as a base, it had become distorted in many places.

"Hmm, yes. I'll take your word for it, if that's all.

"Yes, sir."

First, Jin had one of the same free-magic condensers that he had found the other day in the basement transferred.

Rand brought it in, Reiko received it, and placed it in front of No. 700672.

It is about the size of a tissue box. Jin placed it on the bedside of No.700672.

"What do you think of this?"

The 700672 seemed unusually a little surprised when he saw it.

"What is this?　Where did you get this?"

Jin then explained briefly how he had found it in the basement of his own territory.

"I see. ...... that your husband's descendants installed it. But that plan was abandoned in the middle of the project, I see. ......"

"Probably so. But there was an outbreak of giant centipedes that may have been the result.

"Hmm. ......"

Free magic element (ether) does not cause organisms to grow to gigantic sizes, says 700672.

"There must be another factor for the gigantism. ...... No, it is possible that the size is innate and that the individuals we see are small because they simply cannot grow fully."

"I see, so that's what you're saying."

According to No. 700672, an environment rich in free magical element (ether) prolongs the life span of living creatures.

It seems that the long life span of the demon tribe in this land is due to the effect of the free element of magic (ether) in addition to their original constitution.

This is off topic, but Jin installed and operated the free magic element condenser (ether capacitor) made in Horai Island.

"Oh ...... this is comfortable."

The new type of free-magic condenser (ether capacitor) improved by Jin collects free-magic elements (ether) from a wider range than the old type.

"Magecraft Meister," you say. ...... people are changing."

The 700672 took a few deep breaths as if to check the concentration of free magical element (ether), which had become so thick that he could almost feel it.

"Mmmm ...... reminds me of Hale once. Jin-dono, I'm sorry."

Jin replied with a laugh.

"It's okay. In your words, I did it for my own good.

"I see. You've got me there.

They smile at each other. Jin then decided it was time to leave.

"Jin-dono, you've helped me a lot. Please come again. I'm always here to help you.

"Yes, thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Jin promised to visit again and left the white room.

After this, Jin gave instructions to the RAND team and the Smith team to improve the facilities around the <> and to install a warp gate.

And No. 700672 will continue to assist Jin from time to time as his advisor.

Thus, the disturbance involving the entire demon tribe came to an end.

"Oh, Onii-chan, welcome back!

Hannah welcomes Jin back to the village of Kaina for the first time in three days.

Her missing front teeth had grown back in, and a beautiful row of teeth peeked out.

"I'm back, Hanna. Here, I brought you something."

In the kitchen of Martha's mansion, Jin offers cookies made from buckwheat seeds. Buckwheat cookies, to be exact.

Buckwheat flour is mixed with sugar and eggs and baked. The taste of buckwheat is delicious in a crispy texture.

Sarah, a golem maid exclusively at Martha's mansion, brewed a pot of tea. It tastes just like the tea.

"It's delicious, isn't it, girl?

"Yes, it's really good, Jin."

"Good."

After hearing their impressions, Jin thought it would be a good idea to grow buckwheat in Kaina village and make it a specialty of the village.

Autumn clouds were moving across the sky in Kaina village, and the ears of wheat were turning golden in the fields.
