Magicraft Meister Part 1

"Ummm ......"

Adriana's father, Uweit, pondered, then spoke up.

"Adriana, Shuki, you are not a ."

Adriana's voice rose at these words.

"Father!　Why not?

But Uweit calmly quieted her daughter.

"Well, hear me out. When we speak of the we are talking about the aliens who come from the north.

Adriana's anger subsided at this point as if she had just spoken out of turn.

"From the north ......?"

"Yes. There is an ocean all the way north. Beyond that there is another continent, and it is said that the Rare Ones come from there. They are skilled in magic and physical prowess."

"......"

"So, Shuki, you are not a . ......I would say that he is a ......<>."

"Etranssept ......."

Adriana muttered over and over again, as if she were chewing on her words.

"In the first place, we are the descendants of the , you know?"

Then Uweit made a shocking revelation.

"What?　What is that, father?　I've never heard that before!"

"Of course you have. I'm supposed to tell you this for the first time when I turn sixteen.

"Sixteen ...... years old?"

Adriana looks surprised. Then her face turned surprised.

"Ah!　Aah!"

"...... remember? It's your birthday today, March 20th.　From today you're on your own."

I forgot. ......

"Hey, hey, hey. I thought you came back because of your birthday, but you surprised us all by bringing a guy with you, didn't you?

Adriana turns a little red and looks down. Her brother Donnavagh looks at her with a wry smile.

Uweit then turned to Shuki and spoke to her again with a different expression.

"Shuki, I have reacted a little too sensitively. I apologize for that.

"No, no."

And I have one more thing to apologize for.

At this pause, Wuweite bowed to Shuki.

"I have a <>. Well, you can think of it as a magical skill.

"Yes, yes..."

Shuki, who did not have much knowledge about magic, could only give a vague reply.

"There are several types of magical eyes, but I'll leave the detailed explanation for another time, my magical eye is called .

"......"

"I think you can get a rough idea by the name. Yes, I have just confirmed your statement."

Shuki was convinced that this was the reason he had felt a momentary blackout.

"I apologize again. But I am also a parent of a human child. If my daughter Adriana had been deceived, I would have had no choice but to use it.

"Father!

Adriana reacted to this question before Shuki did.

"That's why!　I'm not fooling you!　Shuki is really teaching me about the other world!

How can someone who is being deceived say that ?

"Well, yes, that's true, but..."

Adriana rushes to complain to her father, but she is easily defeated.

"Anyway, I'm sorry both of you, now let's eat before the food gets cold.

"Father, before we go, we have to celebrate Ado's sixteenth birthday..."

Donavaag pointed out and Uweit scratched his head as if remembering.

"Oh, yes, of course. ...... Rahliana!"

She had already risen from her seat and was ready to go when she was called.

"Yes, yes, dear, I know what you mean.

She then prepared cups of what appeared to be silver for the number of people and passed them out in front of each person.

She then poured liquid from a bottle into it and passed it around.

"Yes, Adi."

"Thank you, Mother."

Please, Shuki, come in.

Thank you very much.

Come on, you too. ...... Donna, give me your glass."

Finally he poured himself a glass and Lagiana returned to her seat.

"And now I would like to congratulate my daughter Adriana on her sixteenth birthday. Cheers!"

The cups are raised and everyone chants <>and everyone chants <<

Shuki thinks that the customs here are not so different from those on Earth, but he chants <> and sips the liquid.

"......"

The liquid was red wine.

In Japan around 1963, red wine had not yet penetrated the general public, and Shuki was no exception.

Red wine is fermented by crushing the grapes with their skins, so it has a peculiar astringent taste.

It was no wonder that Shuki, who was not accustomed to drinking red wine, frowned.

"Hmmm, is this your first time drinking wine, Shuki?"

"Yes, I've had a few sips of sake before.

"Oh. Is that sake from your hometown?

Yes, it is.

The meal proceeded as we exchanged such stories.

The rice, which looked like Indica rice, was cooked and served with a thick soup that seemed to be Chinese-style, but to Shuki, this was surprisingly delicious.

Shuki was surprised at how delicious it was.

I guess this kind of rice is suitable for this kind of dish, because it is a kind of indica rice with little stickiness.

Perhaps because the misunderstanding had been cleared up, the meal proceeded in harmony.

"Now, now, Mr. Shuki, please try this one, too.

"Yes, thank you."

At first Shuki looked a little embarrassed, but thanks to Adriana sitting next to him and her mother, Rahliana, he was able to relax and unwind.

The tension was broken by Adriana and her mother, Laryana, who were sitting next to her.

"Well, Shuki..."

After lunch, we had another discussion with Adriana and her family.

What do you want to do now?

"Father!"

Adriana's voice came out in reproach,

"Wait a minute, Adriana. That (・・・・) is not what I meant."

He then turned to Shuki and asked the question again.

"My daughter has told me that you have an unusual knowledge of other worlds. Are you willing to make use of this knowledge in this world?

Shuki answered without hesitation.

I do intend to do so. I would be happy if I could use it to help people's lives.

"Oh?"

"But I can't give up my feelings for my hometown. That is also an honest thing."

Adriana looked a little sad when she heard this.

"Shuki ......"

After a short silence, Uweit spoke up.

"Very well. Then, as the Tierra family, we will back you up. And I promise to study the magic of connecting space. In return, you must promise to use your knowledge for the good of this world."

"Yes, with pleasure."

Shuki answered without hesitation.

Thus, Shuki Tsutsui took his first step as Shuki Tsezi.
