Magicraft Meister Part 1

919 - - 26-39 Adriana

"<>...... and the rest is too faint to read?"

Jin went closer to check the letters, but was unable to read them.

"I wonder if your predecessors have been here before? Reiko, do you know?

"No, I don't think so.

"I see, Reiko doesn't know either. ......"

And then...

"<>? I've heard a legend that there was a woman with that name near <>.

Goose whispered, but excitedly.

"A connection between the wise man (Magus) and Adriana? ...... No, but first, Goose, tell me what you know about Adriana."

Jin bit his navel as he realized that he had been so preoccupied with the wise men (mags) that he had not heard anything about their predecessors since he had come to Mitzvah and Huso.

"No, so it's just that there was a woman by <> with that name. ......"

Jin was disappointed, however, as Goose seemed to know little useful information.

"Father, would you like to proceed?"

Reiko called out to Jin, who was deep in thought.

"Ah, yes. Let's go ahead.

"This way, then. The air is clean, so don't worry.

There was a door next to the wall with Adriana's name on it. Reiko opens it gently and quietly, without making a sound, and leads Jin through.

Jin and the rest of the group followed solemnly, without saying a word.

"This is ......."

The place looked like a neat and tidy living room.

"I guess this is the living room.

Reiko said in a small voice.

The air here is very clean. There seems to be almost no dust.

Indeed, there is no dust in the air, even though it has been here for a thousand years.

"Besides, it looks like there's someone here to clean it."

"What?"

This time Reiko pointed to a corner of the room.

There was a doll about Reiko's size holding a broom and a whacker.

"It's not much of an automata (automata)......, but it seems to be cleaning the room on a regular basis."

"Hmmm."

The automaton has spent a thousand years in this room, the materials used must have been carefully selected.

"It would not have been degraded by ultraviolet rays.

Jin mutters to himself.

The Reiko in front of Jin now has been broken at the end of her 1000 years of existence.

"There is something deeper..."

Reiko led Jin deeper into the house.

The door at the front end of the living room opened into a hallway.

"It's at the end of the hallway.

Reiko seemed to know that there was no danger, and she led Jin deeper and deeper into the hallway.

"This way, sir."

Reiko opened the door and Jin stepped in without hesitation.

"Oh ......"

The room looked like a study.

A desk made of metal and wood sat in the center of the room with what appeared to be a vase on top of it. There was no trace of the flowers that must have been arranged there.

"There was a book on the bookshelf with a name written on it.

And it said...?

"...... Yes, it had your mother's name on it."

"I see. ......"

There seems to be no doubt that Adriana has lived here before.

However, Jin could not help feeling a little uncomfortable.

"...... Hey, Reiko."

In order to clarify this feeling of discomfort, Jin decides to talk with Reiko.

"Yes, father.

"Do you think your father was here?"

There is no reserve between Jin and Reiko, in the best sense of the word. Jin directly asked Reiko the question he felt.

"...... Yes. I can't ...... say for sure, but I feel something different."

"I see. I knew it.

Does your father know?

No, I don't know. But I can tell you this. But I can tell you this... there's not a trace of the previous generation in this place.

Reiko understood what the discomfort was, and her doubts were confirmed.

"Yes, there is no ...... scent of your mother here!"

"Right."

Jin gently opened the drawer of the desk in the center of the study. There was a book in it.

"A book. That reminds me.

The day Jin was first summoned to this world of Ars and awakened. In other words... the day he became the successor to the Magecraft Meister.

"When I opened the book filled with the knowledge of my predecessor, I found ......."

The contents of that book became knowledge that avalancheed into Jin's mind.

But the book in front of Jin's eyes now is not like that.

"Is it an academic book ......?"

It appeared to be a handwritten academic book.

"It describes the technology of ...... back in the old days."

Jin flipped through it.

It was made of a tough leather paper, which seemed to be the leather of a magical beast, and it was of a quality that would have lasted for a thousand years.

"...... hmm?"

The name <> was found here and there.

It was mentioned that the technology described there had been perfected with the help of <>.

"I wonder if it was Adriana who wrote it?"

There was no mention of the author.

So Jin put the book on his desk. It was an old book and he was afraid that it might fall apart if he handled it too roughly.

"Reiko, is there anything else in the room that might give us a clue?"

"Yes, there is. Yes, there is. ......

It was the next room connected by a door.

"Is this ...... the guest room?"

No wonder Jin felt intuitively that this was the guest room.

There was no sign of life in the room, although there were some luggage.

"There are books here, too. They are thin.

It looked more like a notebook than a book. It was also made of leather paper.

Jin gently picked it up and opened it.

"...... what?

Jin shouted out loud at the contents of the book.

Hearing this, Erza and the others, who had been quiet until then, jumped in.

"Jin, what's wrong?

Jin, what on earth did you find?

What happened, Onii-chan?

Jin, tell me what you found.

Jin nodded slowly as the others asked him.

"Yeah. It's nothing to keep secret. It's just that I was a little surprised.

Jin then slowly said what was written on the back page of the book.
