Magicraft Meister Part 1

After breakfast the next day, Jin took Erza, Saki, Toa, and Goose to Miyagi in <>.

She was accompanied only by Reiko. Hannah is staying at home this time.

"Goose, are you sure about this?"

Jin made a last check on his application for naturalization.

"Yes. I talked to Mr. Toa yesterday and we decided that I belong here. I don't have any more encumbrances over there. ......"

"I see. Good.

He said that there is no such thing as a family register in Fuso, so there is no problem there.

"Look, I'm already in Miyagi."

After a brief flight, Conlon 2 descended to its own landing pad.

The usual guards arrived and greeted Jin. The knights of the Kingsguard and the Prime Minister, Jung Forss von Köbsler, also flew in.

"<>, welcome!

"I have much to report to Your Majesty, how are you?"

This is for the Prime Minister.

"Since yesterday afternoon, Your Majesty has refrained from holding office in case the Korun-kun arrives at any time. ......"

"Yes. ......"

Jin was at a loss for words for a moment, but when he saw the smirking Prime Minister's face, he realized that he was joking.

"Prime Minister, your joke is too harsh.

"No, I'm sorry. But, please put yourself in the shoes of someone like me who has heard more than twenty times during the course of my duties.

The prime minister looks tired,

"I'm sorry to hear that ......."

He could only say, "I'm sorry to hear that .

Once there, Jin and the others were taken to a small reception room. Only Jin was called there first. Of course, Reiko went with him.

"Jin-kun, welcome back. Did you have a good trip?

When he was shown into the office, a question from the emperor came out of nowhere.

"Yes, yes. "Yes, yes. It was a trip with a lot of rewards," she replied.

Jin replied, submitting his report. Of course, it was written on a piece of paper, which he had compiled in a hurry last night.

"Oh, you're good. You're good. I'll take my time reading it later.

After receiving the document, the queen handed it to the Prime Minister.

"And here is a reproduction of a tool I found on my journey.

Jin presented the clock. It was made of wood and fitted with the same movement as a pocket watch.

"Well, what is this?"

It's called a wall clock. The short hand indicates hours and the long hand indicates minutes.

After listening to the explanation and looking at the clock, the emperor broke into a smile.

"That's wonderful!　Thank you, <>."

Jin explained how to wind the mainspring that powers the clock, and that the clock needs to be corrected from time to time because it has an error.

"You didn't use any magic at all. That's amazing."

Although it is not a product of magical engineering, it can only be made in Horai Island so far.

"Well, don't you have some kind of favor to ask me today?"

The emperor is a woman with good intuition.

"Yes, actually. ......

Jin explained briefly about the goose.

"I see, I understand. I'll allow him to become a naturalized citizen, with Toa as ...... Guth's guardian.

"Thank you very much."

I was very happy to hear that, since I had originally followed Toa with the intention of asking him to do so.

"So, you called me into the next room, didn't you, Prime Minister?"

"Yes. Thore Eschenbach, his daughter Saki, and Goose are here.

Prime Minister Jungfrau answers.

"Call all three of them!"

Thus, Guth is granted an audience with the emperor and is allowed to become a naturalized citizen.

"......I was very nervous indeed."

Guth had not expected to be summoned out of the blue by the empress.

"Mr. Toa, I am looking forward to working with you from now on.

Still, he greeted her with a firm greeting.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Goose.

Dad and Stearina are newlyweds, so leave it to me.

Saki says, taking care of him.

"Oh, you don't mind, do you?"

"Yes, Dad. "Well, it's okay, Dad. Aal will be there too."

Jin, who was listening to the conversation, thought that the last part of the conversation was ruined, and Goose showed an unusually embarrassed face and said the line.

"Saki, please take care of me from now on."

I think I have a lot to learn from you."

* * *

After the Goose incident was over, Jin took Hannah, Erza, and Reiko to the village of Kaina.

Of course, they moved to Kaina village with Hanna, Erza, and Reiko.

This was the first time he explained to Hanna about the warp gate in detail.

"Hmmm, you can use this kind of magic tool!　That's amazing!

Hannah is excited. However, she also understands that this technique is not something she should talk about with others.

"You can only talk about it to people you are allowed to talk about it to, right?　I'll keep my promise!"

This before Jin could say anything. Jin thinks that the day when Hannah will be officially welcomed into the may not be far off.

But that's about it.

"Grandma, I'm home!

As soon as she stepped out of the warp gate in the basement of Jin's workshop, she ran up the stairs like a rabbit and jumped into Martha's arms.

"Hannah, welcome back. You look good. You've grown a little taller, haven't you?

Jin, Elsa, and Reiko had been by her side the whole time, but she was only 10 years old and must have missed her own grandmother.

"Welcome back, Jin-sama. Welcome back, Elsa."

Erza's mother, Meene, also welcomed them.

She teaches children to read and write in the village of Kaina.

"I'm home, Mother."

Jin went upstairs to his workshop so as not to disturb his grandmother and grandchildren, mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for a long time.

"Father, would you like me to make you some tea?

Reiko asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, please."

The village of Kaina is Jin's second home.

Sipping the tea Reiko made, Jin looked out the window.

The ears of wheat had come in and would be harvested in less than a month.

Then we would have to decide what to do with the girls from the village of Lalio that we had taken under our protection.

Some of them, like Ru, have been adopted, and others, like Kana, have offered to be Rick's wife.

Most of these children are orphans, and those who have expressed a desire to return seem to be those who have parents.

Either way, Jin wanted to respect their wishes.

"Besides, there's a spaceship or ......."

Tomorrow, they will move to Horai Island, where they will be occupied for a while.

The approaching long-period planets, the mysterious , and Hale, the home of the .

There are so many things I want to see when I can go to space.

After all, we still don't know much about our predecessors."

As for Jin, this trip has made him wonder if there is a grave of his predecessor somewhere in Horai Island.

Because Reiko's predecessor, Automata, would have buried her there.

However, Reiko just does not remember where it is now.

With the magic that summons her across time and space, Reiko has lost that memory.

"If we examine that missing control core, we might be able to find out something. ......"

The control core was carefully handled and stored in a safe place, just in case.

"We still have a lot of work to do. ......"

Still, Jin has his friends, his family, and the children he has created.

The craftsmanship of the < will continue.
