Magicraft Meister Part 1

A few days before Jin and his friends left for the Kingdom of Klein.

Asund, the capital of Egelea.

A hot air balloon with a golden air sac flew over the sky.

The name <> was written in large letters on the air sac, and it was a more prominent statement of affiliation than ever before, even if only in design.

The Knights of the Kingdom, who had examined the hot-air balloon presented by Jin and had built two of the same type, immediately approached the golden hot-air balloon.

Then a voice came from the golden hot air balloon.

I am Elena. I am a diplomat of Nostalgia. I bring a gift for your country. Permission to land, please."

This is a spell that uses wind magic to give directionality to the voice and transmit it to a specific person at a distance.

It was often used before the Great Magic War, and is called <>.

The kingdom of Egelea is the furthest from the Nostalgia stronghold.

Since Elena does not need to eat, drink, or sleep, she decided to visit this kingdom first, which is the farthest from the Nostalgia base.

Incidentally, the Kingdom of Elias was not the recipient of the dehumidifier this time, since its climate and food habits are quite different from those of Elena's. Elena plans to give the dehumidifier to Elias in due course. We plan to give it to them at some point in the future.

Sandwiched between the hot-air balloons of the Kingdom of Egelea, Elena landed in the courtyard of Asunto Castle.

She is surrounded by 20 Kingsguard knights with swords, though they have not drawn their swords.

Elena, who knows that the Unifilers once attacked this castle with a , smiles inwardly.

"Hello, my name is . I am . I am a diplomat of the Nostalgia Party.

Elena introduced herself once again. A knight steps forward.

"Welcome Elena, I am Bruno Thales Bright, vice-captain of the Kingsguard. I am here today to present you with a dehumidifier, is that correct?

Elena smiled glamorously. Her smile made some of the knights frown.

Yes, that is correct. Could I please see the person in charge or the person in charge?

Of course, of course. Of course. Minister of Magic Kellichdoré and Minister of the Interior William will take care of you.

Bruno said and the other knights turned on their heels and left.

Elena takes the small package and follows Bruno's lead across the courtyard, which still bears the scars of the Golem Party, to the building on the left side of the outer palace, the guest house.

Elena is welcomed into what appears to be the main conference room of the guest house.

Two knights of the Kingsguard were present and began to explain the situation.

"We remove moisture by lowering the temperature, causing condensation, draining the moisture, and then returning the temperature to its original level. ......That's it for the principle of operation. Do you understand?"

The attendees were puzzled by the concise explanation.

"U...... well, the mechanism is simple. Can we make one?"

"Yes. Yes. Please try to make it.

Elena smiles.

"The drained water will accumulate, so you will have to drain it regularly. Is there anything you don't understand?

"Why does condensation form when the temperature is lowered?"

Kerichdole asked. Elena looked puzzled.

"...... can't explain it in such a short time. For now, you can take it as a given.

But Elena could see the look of frustration on Kerichdole's face.

"...... The upper limit of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. This is called the saturated water vapor content. When the temperature is high it can contain more and when the temperature is low it can contain less. How about ......?　After explaining it like this, you must have found something you don't understand again, right?　It means that the foundation has not been laid. That's why I said it's not possible in a short time.

Elena's red eyes showed no contempt and the Minister of Magical Technology Kelihidole could not help but back down.

"...... You see the droplets of water on the outside of a glass of cold water?　That's what that's all about."

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

Elena kindly explains the rest. This explanation seems to be accepted.

"Is there anything else?"

Everyone is silent. Perhaps they have given up.

"Well, I think I'll take my leave now."

Elena bowed and stood up.

Once again, Bruno accompanies her back to the hot air balloon.

There was a figure staring at them from afar.

It is Ernest, the third prince. He looked at Elena and sometimes tilted his head.

"Prince?　Is something wrong?"

Lila Solyus, the prince's lady-in-waiting, asked curiously when she saw the prince.

"...... Hmmm, it's a strange automaton, isn't it? It seems so different from the ones Jin made."

Laila was surprised at his words.

"What?"

"I'm talking about that automata called Elena. She is different from Reiko. But there are similarities. But different. Hmmm... ......"

"Oh, um, is she an automaton?"

"Hmm?　Isn't she?　Can't you see it?"

"I don't know, ......!"

Intuitively, the prince realized that Elena was an automaton.

The only other person who knew she was an automaton was the magic minister, Kerichdole.

None of the knights who were watching her from a distance noticed her.

The knights who were watching her from a distance did not notice her at all.

Elena then headed for the Kingdom of Klein.

The response was similar here.

She was met by Prime Minister Powell, Minister of Industry Delight, and Viscount Bernard Nephra Foster, Commander of the Second Order.

They could not understand the principle of the dehumidifier as explained to them.

"I will take my leave then."

Elena bids them farewell and leaves. Her eyes widen for a moment as she is about to board the hot air balloon.

(Blue hair......Adriana Barbora Zetsi's automata......?

Princess Rieschen and her nanny automata, Tia, stare at us from afar.

Elena's blue hair is seen, and for a moment, a feeling of uneasiness is almost born in her heart, but it soon subsides.

And the hot air balloon floated up into the sky.

* * * * * *

And so did the Kingdom of Franz.

(......Their stares are depressing. ......)

But the knights and soldiers were not well trained, and the people in charge had little understanding of what they were doing.

(The future of this country is bleak. ......)

In the Kingdom of Selroa, there was even an attempt to secretly kidnap Elena.

After the transfer and explanation, Elena was about to return to the hot air balloon when...

"Lady Elena!　The golem has gone out of control!　It's dangerous, please run away!

This was a deliberate <.

Two golems, which appeared to be for combat use, were rushing toward us at a high speed.

One of them is clearly on a course to hit Elena and the other to hit the hot air balloon if it is avoided.

(What should we do? ......)

Elena is now detuned so that she can only produce human-like power.

However, her reaction speed and learned skills are still the same.

In the event of a malfunction and the control core is about to be analyzed, it is programmed to destroy itself, so there is little danger of the enemy stealing its secrets, but self-protection is still necessary.

Without time to think further, Elena intercepted the onrushing golem.

Just before she is caught, she moves to the right side of the golem with a light step, and pushes off the golem's leg. The logic is the same as in the judo technique of de-azuke-barai.

The upper body, unable to keep up with the shift in the center of gravity, can easily lose its balance and slump forward.

Since she might be hit by the hot air balloon, Elena takes the golem's left arm and swings it with her own weight.

Even though she weighs less than half of the golem, it is enough to change the direction in which the golem is moving when it loses its balance.

Releasing her grip on the arm, Elena quickly left the scene.

This is because a second runaway Golem is approaching.

The first Golem was turned around, and the second Golem that came running into it collided with the first Golem.

The two golems became entangled and rolled on the ground in a heap."...... I'll leave the rest to you. "I'll leave the rest to you. Good day to you all.

Elena quickly undid the mooring line, jumped into the hot air balloon, and used her fire magic.

The air sacs were expanding and the gondolas were floating up. The balloon's ascent is rapid since there is no more cargo on board.

Elena continued to gain altitude while the soldiers were stunned.

(......I don't know if humans are smart or stupid. ......)

With these thoughts in her mind, Elena flew the hot-air balloon to the headquarters.
