Magicraft Meister Part 1

Jin and his friends departed from Klein Kingdom and went to Horai Island by Condor 3 instead of going to Shoro Kingdom.

They plan to spend the whole day here.

Elsa! Help me out here!

"Yes. What are you doing?

I'm going to make a special automaton.

Special?　What does it do?

Well, you'll see. ...... Reiko, what do you have?

Yes, father. It's ready.

Okay.

In front of Erza's eyes, Jin begins to make the automata. Slowly, but not hurriedly.

In other words, 80% of the work was completed in about 30 minutes. As Erza looked at them, she realized that she was still not as good as Jin.

"...... female model?"

The skeleton, muscles, tactile sensors, and a temporary magical skin are all indicative of a female form.

"Oh, yes. And I was thinking of having Elsa do the finishing touches to her appearance.

Why me?

Why me?　Because ...... this automaton is a <>."

"Medical ......"

At that moment, Elsa remembered.

<

"......Thank you."

Then Erza thinks about her appearance.

"......Dr. Sally."

She decided to look a little like Sally, whom she admires as a healer. She named her .

At the same time, Jin creates a mini-golem for surgery. <.

Whether it is named after Tom and Jack or the legendary black doctor is not known.

A few days later, a mysterious female healer wanders up to the shores of Lake Manuse, cures parasitism and other diseases, cautions people against contracting them, accepts a small reward, and then leaves for someplace else.

* * * * * * * * * *

"Do you know what happened to the lady-in-waiting, old man?　And what about the family of the servant who was silenced?

In Klein's kingdom, he did not tell Jin and the others, and Jin did not ask, but as time went by, he became curious.

"Well, that's good to hear."

Rieschen had thought it over.

"The stipulation?"

<<

About one million yen. Jin could not decide whether it was too much or too little, but he thought that it was inevitable if it was a rule at the time of employment.

The next day, he asked for a rough estimate of the amount of money.

The next day, after calculating the approximate time, Jin and Erza returned to Shoro by airship.

In Leuthart, they were received by the Prime Minister.

Without any further ceremony, Jin, Erza, Reiko, and Edgar go to the Prime Minister's office.

There they found the female emperor,

"Welcome back, Sir Jin Nido and court-appointed healer Elsa.

I'm back.

"I managed to fulfill my mission ......."

The emperor looks at Elsa humbly and smiles.

"No, you did fine. King Klein himself thanked me in this morning's regular call. He was short, though, as he is not yet strong enough.

The emperor is in a good mood.

"This is a great achievement. Even with Jin's help, you were able to clarify the cause of the unknown disease and successfully cure it.

Then the Empress turned serious and looked at the Prime Minister. Then the Prime Minister realized and opened his mouth.

"For this achievement, I grant permission to Elsa of the former House of Randall to rebuild the House of Randall. You may rebuild the House of Randall or start a new one. Her title shall be Baronet."

"......"

Erza was startled and speechless at this sudden announcement.

A junior baron in the Shoro Kingdom is above a baronet. In other words, higher than Jin, who is an honorary baron.

Jin is a Magecraft Meister and an honorary advisor to the Imperial Household, so in that sense he is far superior to him. This is an internal matter within the Shoro Empire, and Erza is considered superior to Jin in this sense.

As a side note, in England, barons and below are commoners and not considered as nobles. In this respect, it differs from the Shoro Kingdom.

"Since this is an urgent matter, you should think carefully about what you are going to do and give me your answer. You have five days. If I do not hear from you by then, the House of Randall will be reinstated.

"......I understand."

Jin then continued with a report on the series of disturbances caused by former Industry Minister Delight, the reaction of the Kingdom of Klein to the desiccant, and the food situation.

"......It's been harder than we thought, thank you for your hard work."

The empress thanked them for their hard work.

"We have received another order for desiccant, so we have just sent out 10 tons to start with. We'll have five of those carry it.

It seems that Goliath, a giant golem, can carry about two tons of cargo by itself. They left Loisart the day before yesterday, as it would be a demonstration of the Shoro Kingdom's magical technology.

"Has the Kingdom of Cerroa agreed?"

It is necessary to pass through the Kingdom of Celuloa to get to the Kingdom of Klein from the Shoro Kingdom. Jin couldn't believe that that kingdom had given permission so easily.

"As you can imagine. There was a lot of diplomatic communication.

The emperor did not seem to want to tell Jin and the others about the various exchanges. It is not something that Jin is eager to know.

When all the reports were finished, it was already dusk outside.

In the twilight, Jin and the others take a quick flight in the airship and head for the mansion.

The house's rooftop was lit up by a magic lamp, and they were able to land easily.

"Welcome home, Jin-sama, Erza-sama!

Barrow and Behrle greeted Jin and the others.

"I'm back... you're both back..."

You're both back, aren't you? Yes. Yesterday afternoon we received word from Reinhardt-sama that Jin-sama and the others were returning, and we were waiting for them here today after noon.

Congratulations on your safe return and on your great performance.

Thank you.

Jin was happy to see that the two of them had grown up a little after learning many things at Reinhardt's place, even if it was only for a short period of time.

* * * * * * * * * * * *　

By the way, at this stage, Barrow and Behle were given further explanations about the Warp Gate by Reinhardt.

This is the result of consultation between Jin and Reinhardt. The reason why it is not from Jin is that Reinhardt is able to explain the details in a blurred manner by <.

It was November 15.

It was the day before Jin and Erza returned from the Kingdom of Klein.

"I think it's about time you guys knew about this.

Reinhard explained again from the beginning.

"Jin has several warp gates, which are <>. They are not placed everywhere, but they are placed near his strongholds and the strongholds of his close friends."

So far, so review.

"Those who have been approved by Jin can pass through this warp gate. From now on, you can too.

Reinhard remembers how surprised Barrow and Behle were when he explained this to them.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Barrow shouted in surprise. And what about Behle?

"Are you sure?

At first glance, he did not seem that surprised, but I could see that his eyes were swimming.

Their excitement reached a climax when they were about to make the jump from the basement of Reinhardt's house to the Reuthert house.

Perhaps because I had explained to them that only authorized people could pass through, or that if they failed to make the transition, they did not know where they would end up, they were nervous, and the excitement and tension seemed to have put them in an unintelligible state of mind.

"La, Reinhardt-sama, are you sure you're okay?"

"...... can you move around properly?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Let's go."

Since their magic patterns have not yet been registered, Barrow and Behle step into the warp gate while holding on to Reinhardt.

They emerge not into Reuthert, but into . There, they find Butlers 49 and 50, who are in charge of security.

"Uh, sir, what is this place?"

"You didn't fail to ...... move, did you?"

Reinhardt explains to the two anxious people.

"This is the halfway point. Anyone who looks suspicious will not be able to go anywhere from here. They say this is the bottom of the ocean. If they are marooned here, there's not much we can do about it.

"Hee,hee,hee,......"

"U, is it at the bottom of the sea? ......"

Now the two are pale. Reinhardt quieted them and they stepped into the warp gate to Leuthart.

The three arrived at the basement of Jin's mansion in Leuthart. When they reached the surface, Barrow and Behrle let out a sigh of relief.

"Wow, this is amazing!　We are really in Leuthart!"

"We've been here for such a short time ......!　It's like a dream!"

Now they are blushing with excitement. Reinhardt remembers to nail them both.

"...... Listen, this is a secret, okay?　Don't talk about it to others lightly.　If you can't keep it, I don't care what happens.

Yes, yes!

I will definitely protect you!"

So, when Jin suddenly arrives at the house, the two are no longer in a panic.

Jin is relaxing at Reuthert's house for the first time in a while. But Erza is not in good spirits at all.

"......Erza, what's wrong?"

When asked, Elsa answered honestly.

"...... I was thinking about the revival of the family.

"Well,...... I can't really say anything about that,...... so why don't you go to your parents' house and talk to your mother about it?"

"...... is that okay?"

"Yeah. Of course. You can use the warp gate to fly to Reinhardt's place in no time.

At Jin's suggestion, Erza thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, I'll try that. ...... Thanks, Jin."

Jin then called out to Erza.

"Yes, Erza, here.

Jin stopped her and held out a ring.

"A guard ring ......?　I have it, but..."

"No, this is ......

"......Ah."

Jin quickly took Erza's left hand and put a guard ring on her ring finger.

Erza stared at the ring intently. It was made of rainbow-colored magi crystals, just like the other guard rings, but with a small light blue aquamarine accent.

"Brother Jin, this is ......."

"That's how I feel. You can go to ...... your parents' house and relax. You must be tired after everything you've been through."

Jin says this while turning away from me. His visible ears are red.

"Thank you, Jin. I'm off.

Erza turned away with a blush on her cheeks.

Edgar, let's go.

Erza then disappeared into the basement where the warp gate was located.

"......I'm on Erza's side no matter what conclusion you come to."

Jin's voice did not reach Erza as he muttered quietly, "I'm on your side, no matter what you conclude. .......
