Magicraft Meister Part 1

The meeting between Jin and the others was still going on.

"There is a possibility that there will be a faction that will promote another prince," Anne suggested.

Anne suggested a possibility.

The old man continued.

"Therefore, the sooner the crown prince is crowned and order is restored, the better.

Anne concluded again.

"...... understand."

Jin listened to her explanation and was able to reaffirm his understanding of the current situation.

The old man added.

"I see. It would be better if that does not happen. ...... Just be prepared for that."

Then the conversation turns to homunculus.

"Well then, old man, how were your memories of the homunculus similar to Archel that Erza copied for you?"

The old man must have analyzed the homunculus that Makina had given to him when she returned to Horai Island.

"What?"

"hmmm ......"

She doesn't even know if she had no memory from the beginning or if she lost it in an accident.

"...... Jin, I'm pretty sure that she is not the sister you are looking for, Mr. Belials.

Erza says the same thing, but Jin is not quite sure.

"I wonder how she compares to Archelle who led the Gigantor Avrum to attack Gloria?"

<>

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

Jin mutters as he folds his arms.

"Even if she's not Belial's sister, who made her, that's the question."

"Hmm, sure."

"I see. I guess we'll have to wait and see what they have to say.

Jin said, "We don't have enough information right now, so it would be a waste of time to think about it. Jin moved on to the remaining issues of concern.

Namely, the golems of the Kingdom of Selroa.

"It seems that most of the battle golems obey only King Richard, doesn't it?"

"Yes, Goshujin-sama. In the past, there have been examples of golems customized for personal protection, but they are few and far between. It is somewhat unusual for a golem like the one in this country to have all but the first place in the order of precedence left blank.

"I agree."

I guess that king Richard really didn't trust anyone but himself.

"...... is a lonely life, isn't it?"

"......"

Only in this respect do Jin and Erza sympathize.

"......But that doesn't mean she can't have that attitude."

"......Yes, it is unforgivable."

Jin and Erza nodded at each other, but the old man interrupted to bring the subject back on track.

>

"Oh, yeah, I guess so. ......"

Jin was planning to rewrite the control core of the deactivated golem once the crown prince's coronation had been decided.

"Tomorrow is going to be a busy day."

It is not forbidden to go back and forth between each other's rooms, but it is somewhat troublesome since the rooms are assigned to each country.

And after dinner, the corridors are packed with soldiers sent from the Kingdom of Celuloa to guard the guests, making it a little, or rather a lot, more troublesome to move from one room to another.

Hence, yesterday's <> was held in the common spaces such as the common lounge and the recreation room.

The same was true for the Shoro delegation.

"Gehlen, what is your opinion?"

Yes, Your Majesty. I think it would be best if the Dauphin Cesar ascends the throne and for the time being our Kingdom of Shawlo takes over.

The Empress, the Marquess Gehlen Theodoric, the Minister of Magic and Technology Degaus, Lieutenant Colonel Fritz, Captain Matheus, and Baron Reinhardt were discussing the matter.

"As for the guardianship, I think it would be best not to push for the idea that our country alone will take care of it.

This is Reinhard.

I don't think there is any need to be concerned about it. We could send the same number of auditors from each country.

"In any case, we should try to suppress rebellions and uprisings that might be triggered by the change of king as much as possible. There is no guarantee that the riots will be contained within the Kingdom of Selroa.

Fritz said with a difficult look on his face. Borders are meaningless to the rioters. There is a good chance that they will storm into neighboring countries.

He was speaking from his knowledge of the dangers of the regional cities of the Kingdom of Cerroa.

"Yes, I agree. For that reason, it will be necessary to send troops from each country and food aid. ......

The emperor could not help but grumble with a tired smile on his face, saying that it was all a headache.

"Oh, yesterday's meeting was fun. ......"

* * * *

The morning of February 23rd arrived.

After breakfast, Jin and the others gathered in the main conference room of the guest house.

Gerhard Hilde von Rubies Shoro, the empress of the Shoro Kingdom, called for all the participants.

"...... is this all of them?"

For the time being, the chairwoman, who was the highest-ranking person among the participants, made sure that she was in the room.

"Your Majesty, it seems that Prince Oranje of Franz is missing."

"...... I'm in trouble. I was hoping to have a discussion with all the countries today.

But the fact is that we don't have much time.

"It's no use. Let's talk among those gathered here. I will give the minutes of the meeting to Prince Oranjee later.

The Empress then took out a piece of paper and handed one to each of the delegates.

"Before the meeting, I would like you to look at this."

<

"Wow!　This is the paper we presented to King Cerroa!

"It is indeed a very pleasant paper to the touch!　And it is so thin!

"This is called , and it is made from wood. I won't go into details now, but I am planning to record the minutes of the meeting on this paper. I would have liked to give it to you at ...... in a more relaxed setting."

The last words were probably the last thing that the empress could not help but say.

And so began the extraordinary world congress. This time it was not a temporary meeting, but a discussion of urgent issues.

The topic of discussion was how to choose the next king of the Kingdom of Cerroa.

The representatives of each country seemed to have thought about this issue, and they all nodded their heads in agreement.

"First of all, we will request the court-appointed healer (Reichsartz), Elsa Randall Ehime. Please explain the condition of the current King of the Kingdom of Celluloid, Richard Valois de Celluloid.

"Yes. Yes, I understand. King Richard was poisoned by a drug found in the wine. ......"

Elsa explained the same information as she had given Jin last night, but without the jargon.

"The brain cells ...... have been damaged and it will be very difficult to recover even with magic. ......"

Everyone listens with a difficult look on their face.

"That's ...... all."

"Thank you. ...... you have heard it all. King Richard is not expected to recover. Please take a look at this and share your thoughts. And don't worry about being bugged. In any case, the results of the meeting will be officially notified to the Kingdom of Cerroa."
