Magicraft Meister Part 1

The next morning, in the brightening sky, was flying toward the Pazdekst isthmus.

"Wow, wow!　Wow, wow, wow!"

Archelle, flying in the sky for the first time, is full of excitement.

"You're so excited, even though you said you'd just use the transfer magic to get home.

Belial muttered to himself in a low voice so that Archel couldn't hear him. Belial knew exactly how he felt.

"What do you think, Archelle?

Belialus also went next to Archelle and looked down at the ground through the window.

"Yes, I think I know what my brother is talking about.

Looking at the siblings, they are no different from humans.

Jin once again ponders how to reconcile the demons and humans.

At that time, Jin suddenly thought of an idea and asked about the homunculus that had escaped. The answer was .

The second homunculus is under 700672 as , but the first one is still there. Jin wondered in many ways if the first one was still wandering around somewhere with its madness in its heart.

Capricorn 1, near the Paz dextro isthmus.

Erza had returned using the warp gate and greeted the group with a look that said she had been away from home for a long time.

"Welcome home.

"Erza, thank you for staying at home.

"Erza, thanks to you, I've been reunited with Al-shell.

Nice to meet you. I'm Alshell."

With these words exchanged, we all board the Capricorn 1. This time, Jin double intends to let them go straight to the demon territory.

Jin himself was going to go to 700672 first to report what had happened and to ask for advice.

He would also remember to pick up the crystal cube to return it.

is returned to Horai Island.

Half a day later, in the territory of the demon tribe, the clan territory of the <>.

"Hey Jin, thank you for your hard work.

It looks like everything went well."

Saki and the rest of the group greeted them.

We had a very productive time.

Toa looked satisfied.

Vivian looked a little sleep-deprived. She had been up late talking to the group all day.

"Alchel!　We were worried about you."

"......Sorry, Chief. ......"

Archelle apologized to Maximus, the clan leader.

He said he was sorry enough, so he did not complain too much.

After that, he went back to his parents with Belial.

Nidouble looked a little envious as he saw them off, perhaps reflecting Jin's heart.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Well..."

Jin, who is in Horai Island, leaves the operation of Jin-Double to the old man, and decides to go to No. 700672.

>

Reiko is now in the demon territory with Nidouble.

"Well, I guess I'll take Lol with me."

Lol, an automata with blue hair of the same lot as Anne. Since the old man has continued to educate her, she is considered to be close to Anne in knowledge, if not experience.

"Master, will you allow me to accompany you?"

"Yes, let's go."

Yes!

The basic order against demons is probably weaker than the other blue-haired automata, Refa, but Jin was worried about letting her meet demons suddenly, so he thought he would start with first.

< are not demons, but they are not human beings either. Not knowing how Lol would react, he decided to have come with him just in case. What about Jin?

（I guess I'm relying on Reiko, after all.)

(I guess I am relying on Reiko, after all).

"Oh, Jin-dono, welcome!

No. 700672 greeted Jin as usual.

"Welcome, Mr. Jin."

"Welcome."

Rouge, a homunculus modeled after Archel, is looking well. Neige, a homunculus modeled after Archel, is smiling next to her.

"And you?　I've never seen an automaton before."

Yes. This is Lao Tzu. And this is the recently discovered Rolle.

"Well. I see you've had a lot of trouble with .......

"Yes. ......"

In a small talk way, Jin told them about the <.

"Oh, there was such a fortress against demons?"

"Yes. Yes. But we managed to get away without causing any human casualties.

That's great news.

So, what can I do for you today?

Jin pulled out a crystal cube from his pocket.

"First of all, I would like to return the crystal cube that was entrusted to me."

"Hmm. Is it useful?

The 700672 asked as he received the cube.

"Yes, I will explain about that.

You entered the underground facility via the warp gate from the top of Mt.

Two automata called themselves "600012".

As soon as the two automata were shown the crystal cube, they fulfilled the will of their <> and stopped moving.

After that, the facility collapsed. At that time, the bodies of the five homunculi modeled after Archel collapsed. .......

"Hmmm, interesting story. ...... First of all, about the number 600012, I guess it is a servant even older than I am. You have kept your master's will for a long time, and now you have fulfilled it. I hope you can rest in peace.

At 3,000 meters below the surface, Jin thought, he would be able to sleep undisturbed.

"But I didn't think you would react that way just by seeing the crystal cube ......, or rather, feeling its vibrations."

"I'm sure you did."

Jin nodded, "If you could have predicted it, you would have warned me when you gave it to me.

"It may have something to do with the malfunction caused by the , but since it's already been done, could you give him a break from digging?"

700672 is just a 600 No. 700672 seemed to want to let No. 600012 and the others sleep as they were. Jin sensed this and nodded silently.

"But what is this knowledge they entrusted you with?"　

"That is ......."

Jin heard this and drooped his head, explaining the reason.

"So, your countermeasure against the <> backfired and you didn't receive it properly?"

"Yes, I will try to analyze it now. Do you have any idea what it is?"

Clutching at straws, Jin asked 700672.

"......"

700672 meditated and thought about something, then opened his eyes and gave a reply.

Jin-dono, I can't imagine what it is.

"I see. ......"

I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do.

"And as for those five half-baked homunculus, they must have been left unattended without the use of a . If that's the case, I don't think they'll become proper homunculus in the future."

Is that so?

"Is that so? The part of him that corresponds to the brain must have atrophied. There's nothing we can do about it. If you're worried that I've left him to die, I'll tell you that you're wrong.

"I see. ......"

The fate of the five was already decided when the 600012s gave up on trying to reanimate themselves in Archel's body. I guess.

"Don't look at me like that. It's not your fault. ...... isn't much consolation, is it?

I'm sorry.

"Master, I'm sorry. ......

Lol, who had been silently standing diagonally behind Jin, grabbed him by the sleeve. Jin patted Lol's head.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm all right."

Then, after exchanging a few details, Jin left the 700672.

Saki and the others also left the demon territory aboard Capricorn 1. They promised to meet again.

Thus, the series of events that took place underground in the El Lado Mine came to an end.
