Magicraft Meister Part 1

The morning of October 29th was clear and sunny.

"Ah, I slept well."

"Good morning, Father."

"Good morning, Reiko."

Jin stretched out and got up from the futon. He was dressed in his underwear because he had not prepared his nightgown. He dressed quickly and went to the bathroom.

"Well, I'm going to get ready for breakfast.

Reiko went to the kitchen.

"You slept well last night, probably because you were tired. ......

For Jin, remodeling the house was a more engrossing and tiring task than repairing the giant golem, an ancient artifact of the Shoro Empire.

"Brother Jin, good morning."

"Oh, good morning."

Erza wakes up and they wash their faces together. He realizes that he has no towel, so he dries his face with engineering magic < and wind magic <>.

"...... this can be used as a warm air dryer."

Jin and Erza headed for the kitchen, thinking about the new magic tools for daily life.

Since they had not yet purchased all the ingredients, they used what the old man had sent from Horai Island, and Reiko prepared bread, citran marmalade, bean soup, bacon and eggs, salad, and fruit juice.

Both Jin and Elsa were familiar with the taste.

"Brother Jin, what are you going to do today?"

Elsa asked as she sipped her fruit juice.

"Yes, I'm going to invite Barrow and Behrle over, and Hannah too.

Nodding, Elsa put down her glass of juice,

"In that case, I'd like to have a landing place for the airship in this house.

She then says, "I'd like to have a landing place for airships in this house.

"Ah, yes, that's true. If we are going to make ......, we should make it ......."

Jin thought that the rooftop would be the best place.

"We can take off the existing roof and make a flat roof, or we can ...... make a proper rooftop."

After thinking about it, he decided to build a rooftop.

"I think it would be a bad idea to ask for permission for the arrival and departure, let alone the remodeling. ......"

Jin planned to get the permission while going to Miyagi to pick up the airship.

"......I think I'll make and offer the < magic tool I was thinking of last time."

Jin thought this would be a good idea, since the royal family and government officials would need it.

He immediately ordered magi crystals from the island of Horai.

"Erza, what shape would you like it to be?　A ring?　A bracelet?　A pendant?"

Erza thinks about it for a while.

"...... I think it is better if it is close to the center of the body, considering the detoxification. A bracelet rather than a ring, a necklace rather than a bracelet."

"I see. I see. Then, I'll use a pendant top."

Jin explained how to use the pendant and said that it would be better if the length of the chain was adjusted so that it was placed in front of the chest.

"Hmm. I think that's a good idea. The chain should be mithril silver."

"Okay. I'll leave the design to Elsa. I'll make the chain first.

Jin ordered mithril silver and made a chain for a necklace. The design is called a kihira chain. It is made by twisting a piece of ordinary chain 90 degrees to make it flat.

Jin only knew the name of this chain.

Mithril silver is 925 mithril silver mixed with copper because solid mithril silver is not strong enough. It is the same material as the dagger he had given to Erza for her birthday.

After making a regular chain, I twisted the chain to make it flat. When I had made about 10 meters of chain for the time being, Elsa gave me a look of dismay.

"What are you going to do with that many?

"No, we're going to distribute them to at least 10 people, aren't we?"

Erza was even more astonished by this comment.

"Brother Jin, the first thing is to make it an offering to His Majesty. In other words, we must emphasize its value as an item.

Erza tells Jin that the value of something made by a Magecraft Meister is such a thing.

"I see. ......

I understand what you are saying. Jin nodded his head.

"But it won't go to waste, will it?　We can use Erza, Meane, Martha, Hannah, Saki, Stearina, Vivienne, ......, oh, and Bina and Licia."

It's not just my imagination that Erza's eyebrows twitched at the mention of Licia's name.

"......I realized once again that my brother Jin is that kind of person."

"?"

The words muttered by Erza, who let out a small sigh, did not seem to have caught Jin's ear.

"......Anyways, the first thing we need to do is to make a dedication."

"Okay."

At Erza's suggestion, a diamond-shaped base was made from mithril silver for the pendant top, and the processed magic crystal (magi crystal) was inlaid into it.

At 9:00 a.m., Jin and Erza first went to the palace with the gift.

The Magecraft Meister, Jin Nido, was already a well-known figure, and they were ushered into the waiting room with a near face-pass.

Elsa and Reiko, who were with us, were also well-known to us, so there was no problem.

We waited for 20 minutes.

"Jin-kun, what can I do for you today?"

Jin and Erza are ushered into the office of the female emperor, thinking that meeting the prime minister would be good enough.

"If the Magecraft Meister wants to talk to you, I'm ready to listen, aren't I?

The Prime Minister beside them looks a little tired, but Jin pretends not to have seen him and tells him his purpose.

"The magic tool of detoxification: ....... It's wonderful!"

"Erza designed it and I made it."

He placed it in a box made of black wood similar to ebony and offered her the pendant top and chain.

"Wearing this, it has a detoxifying effect, right?"

"Yes. Just wearing it has a mild effect. For example, it can prevent you from getting drunk. ......"

Jin explains the benefits.

"So, for example, even if you take a fatal poison, you will not collapse immediately, but you will have time to function as you should.

This is because it may be too late to activate it after the poison has taken effect.

"If you think something is wrong, tap the pendant top hard. It will activate."

This is in consideration of the case when the poison makes a person paralyzed and unable to speak.

"There is a light antidote effect that is always activated, so it is unlikely that your hand will become paralyzed.

He added that even if he hit her by mistake, there would be no harmful effects if her body was normal.

"Thank you, Mr. Jin. I appreciate it."

The emperor smiled and accepted the pendant top,

"Is that all?　Is there something you want me to do for you?"

She showed her sharpness.

"Oh, yes, there is one thing I would like your permission for."

Jin then explained that he wanted to set up a landing place for airships on the roof of the house he had received.

"I see. ...... Prime Minister, I think that's a good idea."

The Empress pondered and then asked the Prime Minister for his opinion as well.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you're right. I think it would be a good idea to have Sir Jin Nido, the Magecraft Master, set an example, as he will be the one to give permission to anyone who possesses a hot air balloon in the future.

In other words, we would like to see how Jin Nido does it and use it as a reference for the future.

"Thank you very much for your immediate permission.

Jin thanked him and left the room. As expected, the emperor did not have time to chat with her.

"Brother Jin, I'm so happy for you.

"Yes, thanks to Erza.

Holding a piece of paper with the permission, Jin, Elsa, and Reiko arrived at the airship's mooring in high spirits.

"Reiko, tell the waiting craftsmen (Smith) to start work.

"Yes, sir."

I knew with absolute certainty that permission would be granted, and we had already discussed how we would remodel.

The 10 craftsmen (smiths) received the instructions and immediately started the remodeling.

The production capacity of the Craftsman (Smith) Golem is about one-tenth that of Jin. The number of ten Golems is not equal to that of Jin's. Because of the advantage in numbers, the number of Smith Golem is about one-tenth of Jin's.

Because of the advantage in numbers, the following tasks are required for this project: demolition of the roof, removal of the demolished roof, re-erection of the attic, construction of the rooftop, and maintenance of the tarmac.

Even if we omit the details of the work, it is significant to be able to share the work of such a large number of processes.

The renovation should have been completed in the time it took Jin and Elsa to fly to the village of Maggiroots on the airship and bring Barrow and Behle with them.

The distance from the capital, Leusert, to the village of Magirutz is about 130 km.

Jin, who was running out of time, flew to the village of Magirutz at high altitude. He is an impatient person when he has something to do.

He arrived at the village in less than an hour. This time, no one was surprised, only curious eyes greeted him.

"Jin-dono, welcome to the village.

We landed in a vacant lot on the outskirts of the village and were greeted by the village chief.

What can I do for you today?

I'm here to pick up Barrow and Behré.

Jin explained that it was time for him to get back to work.

"Of course, as long as you're working for us. Please take good care of them.

With these words, the village head bowed his head to Jin.
