Magicraft Meister Part 1

65 - 03-04 Rivalry

Jin and his teammates made a small toast to the formation of the team during dinner at .

"Well then, let's celebrate the formation of team .

Glasses were raised and lightly touched to each other. And then,

"Let's do our best to win the championship!

MJR, by the way, are the initials of Marcia, Hitoshi, and Reiko. Of course, the naming of MJR was left to Marcia.

After a friendly meal, the meeting begins. At that time, Hitoshi said as if he remembered something,

"By the way, what happened to that disturbed man during the day?"

"......"

Marcia looks like she doesn't want to say anything. Jin sensed this and said,

"I won't force you to say anything."

But Marcia is determined to say it,

"No, I don't want to keep secrets from my teammates.

She began to speak.

"This is Valentino, the third son of the Marquis of Hudson of the Kingdom of Elias, who is the assistant to the Lord of Potlock here, and he has no hesitation in asking me to be his concubine.

"What?"

He has three wives and two concubines. He says he wants the same number of wives and concubines.

"He's a ridiculous guy. ......"

As you can imagine, Jin was appalled.

I don't know why he likes me so much.

Marcia was not very pretty, but she was in the category of a beauty, Jin thought. But she did not say so,

"So, is she going to participate in the competition?

"Yes. He is going to compete. Bored with his family and money, he hires good shipbuilders (shipwrights) and skilled magicians (magecraftsmen). The magecraftsman in particular is rumored to have been invited from the Kingdom of Celluloa, the home of magecraft.

"There is no way my brother can be defeated by such a man."

Reiko, who had been silently listening until then, couldn't resist and interrupted.

"Oh, yes. I believe so too.

"So, what are your plans for the future?"

Jin tried to change the subject somewhat forcefully.

"Well, anyway, tomorrow we need to buy materials for Jin to make a golem. I'd like to say that money is no object, but as you can see, don't get your hopes up.

"Yeah, the ingredients are usually good enough."

"Well, I'll be helping with the fishing in the mornings until the day after tomorrow, so I won't be able to go to the market until the afternoons. So you can do whatever you want in the morning.

"Helping with the fishing? Why?"

Marcia looked a little embarrassed,

"To get used to being on the boat a little bit, but I'm ashamed to say that I need to earn some money," she said.

"I see. I'll see you at lunch. Then let's go back to the cafeteria for lunch.

Jin liked it because the food was good. Meanwhile, Reiko is getting to know what Jin likes.

"Yes, let's do that.

Marcia nods her head.

The night ended with other news: the lords might come to watch the competition, and there would be prizes not only for speed, but also for design and ideas.

"Your father is very fond of things, by the way. Helping people again?

He must have been referring to his time in the Blue Lands.

"Yes, well. But I'm interested in the race, it sounds interesting."

"I hope it's all right with your father, but I'm afraid he's using you for his own gain.

Jin was used by his bosses and seniors in his previous life, so he is somewhat aware of it, but it's his personality and it's hard to fix.

"Well, I'll be careful."

It was all I could do to answer him now.

"Well, I'm going to take a shower and freshen up.

The sea breeze had been blowing all day and I felt sticky.

"I'll go wash myself off."

Jin said to Reiko and went to the common bathroom with a change of clothes and a towel. He came back as soon as he thought .......

"Father? What's wrong?"

"No, no, no. There was only water, and I had to pump it up myself and fill a tub on the shelf before I could bathe in it. And the well water is muddy because of the proximity to the ocean."

Jin reminded us that water is precious. A pump has been built in the village of Kaina, but it does not seem to be widely used here yet.

"Tomorrow, I will go back to Horai Island and take a bath.

Having given up on taking a bath or a shower for the day, Jin was planning various ideas on his bed at the inn, but he fell asleep before he knew it.

The next day. Jin and Reiko returned to the laboratory using the warp gate to bring the materials.

Reiko is carrying a barrel of fish sauce. Since she could not find soy sauce, she had bought it as a seasoning that tasted similar to soy sauce.

Jin got out of the morning bath that Reiko had boiled for him and immediately started to prepare.

"Well," he said. Reiko, I found a leather of a pseudo dragon (Siamese dragon), didn't I?"

The feather membrane is used for Reiko's skin, thin and tough. In contrast, the leather was thick and elastic.

"Yes. I hunted it during the fourth transition and kept it as an ingredient.

Reiko says casually as she hands the fish sauce to Perido, who is in charge of the household chores. <, it usually takes more than ten people to defeat a demon named "dragon".

"Okay. I'd like some of that. And some wind elemental magi crystals.

"Wind attribute? Wouldn't water be better?"

It was a natural question, but Jin simply said,

"The golem I'm thinking of has more speed than power.

He simply said.

"I understand."

Reiko replied honestly and prepared the items she was told.

"Okay. Let's make a swimsuit then."

"What?"

Reiko looked doubtful and Jin said..,

"No, there's a swimming beach there. I want to go swimming for the first time in a while.

"Is that what you mean?"

Then, the thread of the Grand Spider appeared again.

"Isn't it amazing that the previous generation even made a knitting loom?"

"Yes, your mother is great.

The previous Magecraft Meister, Adriana Barbora Zetsi, was a woman who developed various spinning and weaving machines.

One of them was a knitting loom, which could weave fabrics like so-called "merillas.

"Set the yarn dyed dark blue," she said. "Okay, start it up."

Once the machine was started, the fabric was woven at a speed comparable to that of modern earth machines. This time it is for a swimsuit, so he stops weaving after a certain length and takes out the fabric.

"I'll ask you to weave a little more in white, so I can dye it later," he said.

"Yes. ...... Luna, Soleil, I'll take care of it.

Reiko's two men were left to do the rest of the work, and Jin began to finish the swimsuit.

"Do this here, cut it back, fuse it here, and so on. Okay, it's done. Reiko, here's yours.

"Thank you."

Jin made a navy blue one-piece swimsuit. I hope it's just my imagination that it looks a lot like a school swimsuit. Jin continued to make a swimsuit for himself.

"Okay, there is still time before noon. < and change.

After returning to Potrock, the two changed into their swimsuits at Kainarutei and headed for the beach at the back of the hotel.

"It's so close and convenient."

Jin quickly entered the ocean. The sea water temperature seemed to be relatively high and did not feel cold. Reiko followed him.

Reiko's specific gravity is almost the same as that of a human being, so she floats on the water if she stretches her body. For a while, the two of us floated on the calm surface of the cove, basking in the tropical sun.

"Ah, it's so relaxing.

Jin said to himself.

"Oh? Is it possible that your daughter is not a doll?

Someone said.

"What? ...... is a blur."

Jin rushed to his feet, and drank some water, causing him to choke.

"Father, are you all right?

Reiko is concerned about Jin. And the person who called out to him was..,

"Ah, as I thought. It's a wonderful work of art! We don't have them in our country either. Could it be an artifact?"

It was a man who looked three or four years older than Jin. He was thin and lanky. Gray hair, gray eyes. His skin was white, though slightly tanned. He was wearing a bathing suit, so he must have been a bather.

Jin gets ready for such a man.

"Why do you think Reiko is a doll?"

The man shrugs a little exaggeratedly,

"I'm a Magi Engineer, or rather a Magi Craftsman of the Shoro Kingdom. Excuse me, my name is Reinhardt.

"...... Jin. This is Reiko."

Still wary, Jin also introduced himself. Reinhardt then says

"Jin-kun and Miss Reiko, huh? Are you going to participate in the golem boat competition?

He smiled.

"Yes. Does that mean you are too?

Jin answered in the affirmative,

"I'm going to participate. My golem is this one."

He then introduces the golem that suddenly appears next to him.

"This is the golem I put my heart and soul into, <>.

It was a mermaid-shaped golem with the lower half of its body made of fish.
