Magicraft Meister Part 1

"...... and that's the half-life of Shuki Tsetsi that was written here."

Jin closed the notebook and placed it gently on the desk.

The notebook contained the life story of Shuki Tsezi in .

"After burying his beloved wife, Adriana, in the basement of the institute, he left on a journey with his disciples.

Nothing more was written about him.

"So the wise man (Magus) had such a past. ......"

"That family must have inherited a lot of blood from the ."

Saki mutters in a voice that sounds as if it is filled with emotion, and Jin also speculates.

Reading the life story of Shuki Tsetsi, a wise man (magus), some of the mysteries were cleared up, but others were deepened.

"...... but father. Adriana, your mother died in the laboratory on Horai Island. I'm sure of it."

Reiko said in a quiet voice. Jin nodded.

No matter how you look at it, the <> mentioned in the story now seems to be a different person from the first Adriana Barbora Zetsi, the <>.

"I am sure of it. Here it says, October 22, 2231. If this is the date of Adriana's death, it would be over 1200 years ago."

"...... Adriana Barbora Zetsi was 1000 years ago."

"Yes, as Elsa just said, there is a 200 year difference."

"...... probably, or rather, definitely a different person with the same name."

"I'm sure."

After a short pause, Erza spoke up.

"......You mean that my brother Jin had the same body as Shuki's?"

"Yes, that may be so. ......"

<, No. 700672, has discovered, Jin's body at the time he was summoned to this world was the same as Shuki Tsetsi's, As Shuki Tsetsi, a follower created by the Origin, No. 700672, has pointed out, Jin's body at the time of his summoning to this world, like Shuki's, had been mostly supplemented with magical elements.

"If that's the case, it means that I won't be able to have children either."

"......"

But now, thanks to the advice of 700672 and Erza's treatment, Jin's body has returned to normal.

"......Good."

Erza muttered with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"I want to have children after all, don't you, young mistress?"

"......Yes. ............Wow, young mistress!

Erza nodded at Saki's joke, but as soon as she realized what it was, she turned bright red.

"Oh, come on, Saki, don't make fun of me so much."

"I'm just amused by your reaction."

Everyone was in a frenzy of laughter.

"I don't know, but did you find out something amazing?

Hannah is the only one who seems to understand only half of what's going on.

No, another one.

"...... Jin, I hear you're ......"

"Oh."

Jin and the others realized now that they had been talking about a lot of things, forgetting that Goose was there.

"That ...... Reiko said <, didn't she?　And Jin's body was the same as Shuki Tsetsi's? ...... eh?"

"......"

After all this time, Guth's mood was so natural that I had the feeling that they had been friends for a long time.

* * *

"...... and, well, that's how it is."

After all this had happened, it was impossible not to divulge a certain amount of the story.

Jin is the Magecraft Meister, the successor to Adriana Barbora Zetsi.

Well, this is not too much of a problem to tell.

The fact that I come from the same place as Shuki Tsetsi is also accepted in the course of the story.

As for the future ...... of Horai Island and the <>, it was still to be explained in a vague manner for now.

"Yeah, well, we haven't met each other very long. I don't expect you to tell me everything, so I'll leave it at that for now.

Goose looked a little disappointed.

"However, I now understand a little more about who Jin is and why Reiko is so great.

Goose nodded his head in agreement.

(It seems like Guth and I have been friends for a long time. ...... I guess one day I'll tell you all about it.)

We decided to stay in a tent outside that day.

We put up a barrier around us against solids, liquids, and magic.

Gases are allowed to pass through so that we don't run out of oxygen and the humidity doesn't skyrocket.

Now, what are we going to do?

According to the schedule, it is time to go back to Horai Island, but I think it is a waste of time since we have already learned so much about <>.

"Why don't we go a little further north?"

Jin suggests.

Shuki's record contained a handwritten map.

According to the map, there should be a town called <> where Adriana ......, whose maiden name is Tierra, lives.

It seemed to me that there might be more clues about the <> there.

"Hmmm, yes. I think I agree with that.

"Hmm, me too."

I'll go where you go!

I'm interested too. <

The group agreed to go.

"It would be a one-day trip," he said.

Since it is only a hundred kilometers or less from here, we could easily make it to Battaghtaluf in a day.

"I hope the town is still there.

"Yes, I hope so."

Jin remained silent, but his <> had informed him that the towns and settlements north of Battaruf still existed, so he was relieved about that.

In addition, I have copied the map from Shuki Tsetsi's record.

The night passed with great anticipation.

Early the next morning, the group departed.

The entrance to the laboratory in Adriana was covered with soil and backfilled as before.

Just to be safe, we have placed only a marker for the transition inside.

"...... another time."

Jin said goodbye to the laboratory in Adriana in a voice so quiet that no one could hear him.

The car drives on at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour.

After about seven hours, with a short stop every two hours for lunch, they came in sight of what appeared to be the town of Battaghtaluf.

"It's a town, not a village.

"Yeah, it's big. It must have developed since then.

As we got closer, the town finally became clear.

"...... It's more than just a small group of countries."

The neat rows of buildings look like those of a modernized city.

Most of them, however, are two-story buildings. No skyscrapers or buildings.

"...... they're stone houses," he says.

And then, when we were about 50 meters from the outer edge of town.

"Look out!　Edgar, stop!"

Reiko shouts and Edgar brakes hard.

But the inertia of the car drives it a few meters and it comes to a stop when it lightly hits something .......

"What the ...... is going on?

Goose falls out of his chair, shaking his head.

The others managed to hang on to their chairs.

"...... barrier?"

Jin mumbles in a low voice, and Reiko answers him.

"Yes, father. A barrier has been deployed to cover the entire town.
