Magicraft Meister Part 1

"Oh, Jin, it was delicious!"

After eating something sweet, green tea goes well with it.

Jin and his friends were relaxing over a cup of tea that Reiko had brewed for them.

"I've never had it before, since we don't have it in the village, but it's delicious!

Hannah was also in a good mood.

We could have stayed a little longer, but the clouds were starting to come in, so we decided to leave soon.

It was about 20 km from the uninhabited rest house to the village of Kali.

"I hope we can get there before it starts to rain. Edgar, fly." "Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

The car they are driving is a prototype 1. In other words, it is equipped with an engine capable of reaching a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

However, the car is equipped with a limiter, so it usually goes up to 40 kilometers per hour.

The well-trodden road was easy to drive and we were able to reduce the distance steadily.

After driving 20 kilometers in a little over 30 minutes, the village of Kali appeared in front of Jin and the others. No rain fell.

Houses made of stone and clay. Some of them are new, indicating that the population has increased.

As the car approached, the residents noticed it and gathered around.

"What's going on here without horses?"

"Is it like a bicycle?"

"Is it like a bicycle?" "There is something like that in the east. ......

A mature man in his early forties stepped out of the crowd.

He was solidly built, with sharp eyes. He had dark brown hair and gray eyes. He had a short beard.

(The color of his skin is ......)

Jin sensed, though he did not say it out loud, that the man had the same blood as the followers of the demon tribe, such as Lucas and Netros.

"Welcome, my guest. I am Darrow, head of this village."

Jin had heard that name from John Dinny.

"My name is Jin. This is Elsa, the court-appointed healer of the Shoro Kingdom. This is Saki, an alchemist also from the Shoro Empire. This is my sister, Hannah.

Erza.

Saki.

Hannah.

And this is my automaton, Reiko. Over there is Saki's automaton, Aal. The one driving is Elsa's automaton, Edgar.

As soon as I explained that it was an automaton, Darrow's eyes widened.

"My God!　An automaton!　I have never seen anything that looks so much like a human being!　You must be a wonderful magical engineer, Jin-dono.

"No, I am not. Your father is a Magi Craftsman. He is the one who stands above all Magi Engineers.　

Reiko added to Darrow's words. Jin was a little flustered. He had not expected Reiko to say something so boastful.

However, the explanation was not so bad. Dallow was completely convinced.

"I see, so you're the one..."

"Here are the documents.

Jin held out the permit to visit Mitsuho and the ID card given to him by the queen. Dallow took them, looked them over, and bowed again.

"<>, Sir Jin Nidor, welcome. Welcome."

A letter from the emperor has a lot of weight, Jin thought.

"What?　Another visitor?

A woman emerges from the crowd. She had a peculiar accent. Jin had an idea.

She was in her early twenties, with dark brown hair, light brown eyes, and slightly dark skin. Medium height, medium build, good style. The person who fits this description is...

"Uh, Maya, is that right?"

The woman looked surprised when her name was called.

"What?　Your brother knows me?"

"Oh, yes. Mr. Oliver told me."

Actually, through John Dinny. Maya was glad to hear that.

"Oliver, how are you?"

"Yes, he's been telling me all about this place."

"I see. I see. ...... Mr. Darrow, are you sure you want me to take charge of these people too?"

"Yes, please, Maya. They're important guests.

"Yes, sir."

Maya replied in a playful tone and turned to Jin and the others.

Maya turns to Jin and the others. I'm a guide of sorts here in the village of Kali. Please come and visit us.

"It's nice to meet you, too. I'm Jin, this is Hannah, this is Erza, that's Saki, and these are automata Aaru, Reiko, and Edgar.

"You're a lot of people, aren't you? I wonder if we can stay in one big room?　It's such a small village that there aren't many places to stay. There are only two single rooms.

Interesting accent, Jin thought as he listened to Maya's words, and Elsa pulled his sleeve.

"Shall we go to ......?"

"Oh, yeah."

Before he knew it, Maya was leading the group on foot. It was a narrow village, however, and after two minutes of straight walking, we soon arrived at our destination.

"This is it. I'm sorry, but can you cook for us?"

"Yeah, no problem. Okay, I'll bring the car over here. Edgar, please.

"Yes!"

Edgar replied and ran to get the car. Maya saw him,

"You're an amazing automaton. It's not at all different from a human being.

She was impressed. Maybe that's why,

"Hey, you guys have any plans for later today?

Jin asked me, "What are your plans after today?

When Jin replied, "No, not really.

When Jin answered, he laughed happily,

"Well, I'll show you around the area," he offered.

He offered, "Well, I'll show you around.

Having no reason to refuse, Jin and the others decided to accept the offer.

"The first person I showed you around was a magical engineer named Tenkun-han, about five years ago," he said.

"I've only heard of him.

Jin recalled that there was an avant-garde figurine in the garden of an inn in the town of Hatta that Tenkunhan had made.

"But I heard he was a craftsman."

"Yes, that's right. I've heard that too.

"Me too."

All but Hannah knew who Tengkunhan was, and when he told her that he was more of a craftsman than a magi engineer, Maya looked convinced.

"I knew it. I knew it...he wasn't very helpful.

Then she said,

Then she said, "Then, last year, there was a guy named John. He was a great guy. He fixed my bicycle.

He said nostalgically, "He fixed my bicycle.

"A bicycle?"

When Hitoshi said the nostalgic word, Maya looked at him as if to say, "Oh, really? Then she asked Jin.

"Oh, you know what a bicycle is?"

"Yes, I do."

Jin answered honestly. After all, he wanted to see the bicycle in person.

"I see. I'll show you later. ......And then there were two delegations from the Shoro Kingdom this year. We will soon be able to establish diplomatic relations.

As we talked, we came to a small rocky hill standing alone on the outskirts of the village.

There is a path leading up to it, and it is easy to climb. It is, so to speak, a natural observatory.

Look, look. You can see the Hariri Desert clearly from here.

"Yes, that's right."

Looking north from Kali settlement, we could see the Harihari Desert beyond the bushland. We could see that it was not a sand desert but a gravel desert. Large rocks were sticking out in places, which was quite different from Jin's image of a .

Looking to the east, we can see a road winding its way through a gently sloping valley.

There were shrubs, grasses, mosses and other greenery.

<>, but seeing them from my own perspective gave me a different impression.

"The sunrise and sunset from up here are beautiful, too.

Maya explains proudly.

"After all, it was renovated this year. You guys are the first to climb up here and enjoy the view.

(No wonder John Dinney didn't report this.)

Jin was convinced inwardly.

"Well, let's go next."

Maya started down the rocky hill ahead of Jin and the others. Jin and the others followed her.

"Next up is ...... for some fun!"
