Magicraft Meister Part 1

With the backing of the Tierra family, Adriana and Shuki's research progressed rapidly.

"You've done it, Shuki!"

"Yes, it's the first prototype."

After six months of continued research at Adriana's parents' home, the first of the new was finally completed.

"Master, I'm looking forward to working with you.

The Magi doll speaks and moves at its own will.

"Ummm, this is already a different thing from <>."

Adriana's father, Uweit, who had seen the doll, sounded impressed.

"Shuki, can't we give her another name?"

"Yes, Shuki!　This is a new work of art we have created!

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

Shuki thought for a moment as if searching his memory,

"Auto ...... is the best."

He mumbled, "Auto mata?

"Automata?"

"What do you mean?"

"It means the mechanical automata that existed in the world where I lived."

Automata, huh?

"That's good, Shuki!　Let's do it!"

Thus, the newly created new type of magical doll (Magi Doll) was named <>.

I would like to add, however, that <> is a plural form, and that it did not occur to Shuki, who is not an expert, that the singular form is <>.

The following is a list of the examples of the "Automaton".

Starting from this, Adriana and Shuki created various magical tools and machines.

< was created by applying wind magic, since sound is the vibration of air.

< and were created by the application of light magic. Of course, the image is that of a TV camera and a television.

Along with the systematization of magic, the two also created new magic.

One of them is <. Shuki is the one who named the <, which compresses fire magic into small pieces and launches them at high speed.

"This is amazing!　Shuki's idea is outstanding."

"I'd say it's an ad. "I'd have to say ado, because you can turn an idea into a reality.

As time went by, Shuki and Adriana grew closer.

In this world, the first thing Shuki was concerned about was the time.

Shuki was wearing a wristwatch that was given to him as a gift for passing a college entrance exam, but it was broken by the impact of an accident and could not be repaired.

He always wore it on his wrist as a connection to the original world, but he could no longer stand the fact that the time display was still too rough.

"...... displaying the time?"

"Yes. It only shows sunrise, midday, and sunset, right?

"Yes, well. And you can tell by the approximate position of the shadows, can't you?

And that's Adriana.

"That's fine, but I'd like to be more precise."

There was already a prototype sundial.

It was simply a stick on the ground.

"The sun is moving around in the sky at a constant speed," he said.

Shuki had made a simple sundial when he was in elementary school, so he had a rough idea of what a sundial was.

The one Shuki made as a reference was called an equatorial sundial.

If the dial is oriented not horizontally but vertically toward the North Pole, that is, perpendicular to the earth's axis, the sun will travel around the dial at a constant speed.

If the dial is divided into 24 equal parts, it can be used as a sundial to easily tell the time.

A simple version of a sundial that can be placed horizontally can be made by using this formal equatorial sundial as a standard and marking each time of day (in that case, the sundial will not be equidistant from the sun).

Many of these simple sundials were made and distributed to the town of Naminthe and other towns and villages.

"What?　A sundial?"

"How do you know exactly what time it is?　What does it do?

At first, few people understood the concept, but as time went by, it became a part of their daily lives.

"It's useful to know exactly when to meet, when to work, etc."

Gradually, the realization of how beneficial it was to share values took root.

They also decided on a scale.

"I think this book is B5, so it's 257mm and 182mm.

I decide the length from a book I have.

"Is it called a meter?　Is that one of the units in Shuki's world?"

Until then, different towns and communities used different units of measurement.

After deciding on the meter, centimeter, and millimeter, Shuki also decided on the liter as a unit of volume and the unit of weight, with one liter of water weighing one kilogram.

Shuki thought that it would take many years for this to spread, but it would have an effect one day.

"...... I won't be around by then, though."

But that's okay, I guess. If it is for the sake of this world where Adriana was born and raised.

I'm going to give my diet a new lease of life.

"It's done!"

I've been missing something for a long time.

Shuki, who was born in a bonito broth wholesaler and grew up there until he graduated from elementary school, could almost memorize the process of making bonito broth.

It took him 10 years to complete the process, starting with obtaining skipjack-like fish and selecting the molds.

Of course, I was working at the same time as other jobs. I did not work only on this.

I also managed to reproduce tea. I searched for a plant that I thought belonged to the camellia family and tried to pick the shoots of the plant to make tea.

As a result, we were able to make a satisfactory tea.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Adi!

Congratulations, Adriana!

"Shuki, take care of my daughter.

And when Adriana turned 20, they were married.

By that time, Shuki and Adriana's relationship had become official.

Their new home was the old laboratory at the foot of Mount Funicis.

The road to their new home had been improved, making it easier to get to and from the institute.

They lived together and continued to create various things.

It was around this time that the bicycle was recreated.

Even though it was broken, it was possible because they had an example to follow.

This made it easier to go back and forth between the institute and the nearest village ...... Battaruf.

The structure was also used to build horse-drawn carriages, which improved the transportation.

The number of apprentices increased.

By this time, Adriana, the greatest mage of her time, and her husband, Shuki, the Wise, were well known throughout the land of .

Their life together was full, but their only complaint was that they were not blessed with children.

"...... Sorry, Ad. It's my fault, isn't it?"

Shuki's body had been supplemented with magical elements, with the exception of his brain and some of his internal organs, making him biologically incapable of having children.

"No, I am happy just to be with Shuki. Besides, I have a lot of disciples. They are our children in a way, aren't they?

Adriana smiles brightly.

However, another tragedy befalls the couple.

"Shuki, I'm sorry ...... I'm not going to walk with you anymore ......".

Sixty-odd years had passed since they had met, and Adriana was getting old.

And Shuki is almost as young as he was.

"Your body is supplemented with magical elements, so it doesn't change much. I ...... envy you just a little bit."

"ad......"

"Don't look at me like that. I was happy to have met you. If I ...... have any regrets, it's that I didn't get to send you home."

"It's okay. Ado. I'm ready to bury my bones here, in this world where you were born."

"......I knew you'd say that. But I'm sorry ......."

Adriana's eyes closed.

"I love you, Shu,......Ki,......"

"......Adriana......!"

And then her eyes were never opened again.

There was still no magic to transfer her personality, including her memories.

After this, Shuki will continue his research to perfect such magic.
