Magicraft Meister Part 3

The automata, whose hair color was a light purple, or , was quite splendid.

"It looks good."

Jin complimented,

"Yes, I am relieved to hear you say so. Now we can move on to the next stage!

"Next?"

"Yes. This is the original body. Normally, it will be an automaton, a valet for me and Bertsch. And ......."

Reinhardt pointed to a piece of material in the back of the workshop.

"I'm going to wear armor made from this and become a !"

Reinhardt seemed to be obsessed with the .

"I see...so that's how it is."

Even if we make a black knight, it would be uninteresting to make it with the same concept as before, so this time it will be a female type. And when the time comes, she will become a black knight wearing armor.

"That's quite interesting!"

Jin doesn't dislike this idea. In fact, I love it.

"So, this material. ......

Black and shiny, it was the shell of a gigantopod.

It is light and tough. It would make a good suit of armor.

"This is the shell of a smaller gigantopod, isn't it?

Jin guessed that it was not a 50-meter class but a 10-meter class, judging from its thickness.

"Yes, that would be it. As expected of a 50-meter class, the weight is not so great, but the thickness is.

Reinhard continued.

"Here's the other thing I wanted to talk to you about. It's fine to use the shell of a gigantopod, but we want to change some parts of it. ......

A single material for the whole body would be nice, but I'd like to change the material in some areas," said Reinhardt.

"And maybe gauntlets."

The gauntlets are armor that covers the hands, so if they are removable, he wants them to be flexible.

"Oh, I have a good material for that.

Jin recalled the composite material that he and Saki had discussed yesterday.

So Jin and Reinhardt went to the laboratory at Saki's house together.

"Well, that's unusual."

Saki said when she saw that Jin and Reinhardt had appeared together.

"I'm interested in the composite materials that Reinhardt mentioned yesterday," Jin said.

Saki pulled Reinhardt's sleeve and pulled him to the back of the laboratory.

"Oh, yes, yes. Look, look, this is it!"

Saki held out a slightly translucent black mass.

Looking closely, she seemed to have changed the ratio of the mixture, and there were about ten lumps scattered on the table.

This seems to be the best mixture," she said. I'd be glad to hear your feedback after you try it.

"I see...this is it."

Reinhardt knew exactly what Saki was offering since Jin had told him about it on the way here.

"<>"

The mass changed its shape and became a thin sheet about 30 centimeters square.

"Hmmm, it's soft in this way. ......I strengthened it through magic power......<>......Oh, this is..."

Reinhardt's engineering magic made the new sheet-like material harden.

"Reiko, could you check its strength for me?"

Jin was curious to see how much it had been strengthened, so he asked the mini Reiko on his shoulder,

"Leave it to me, father.

She jumped down from Jin's shoulder.

"Mr. Reinhardt, give it here."

"Oh, oh."

Reinhardt did as Mini Reiko requested and held out the sheet.

"Thank you very much."

Reiko took it and bent the sheet.

"...... is very sturdy."

Next, Mini-Reiko held the sheet with her left hand and hit it with her right hand.

The sheet still did not tear.

"I think the hardness and strength are enough for the gauntlet."

Mini Reiko tells Reinhardt that she knows what it is used for.

"Oh, well!　Thank you, Reiko!"

Then she turned to Saki,

"Thank you, Saki. You're just in time. Give me the recipe for this stuff!

"Sure, Reinhard."

Saki is also happy that her newly developed material is used immediately.

Jin was relieved to know that the consultation from Reinhardt was now over, and he also wanted to try to make something with the materials.

So Jin said to Saki,

"Saki, give me the recipe too," he asked.

Saki looked a little puzzled,

He said, "What?　...... is good, but maybe it's not 100 points perfect yet.　I think there is a little more room for improvement.

I replied.

"Well, ......, me and Reinhardt will help you, so let's get this over with!"

"That's a good idea, Saki, let's do it, let's do it!

Jin said, and Reinhardt was very enthusiastic.

Thus, by noon that day, a new composite material combining <> and <> was completed.

"Ah, it's nice to have a meal after all the work we've done," said Reinhardt.

Reinhardt is sipping his lunch of zaru soba (buckwheat noodles) with relish.

Some people say that soba is better with morisoba to enjoy its aroma, but many members of the "Jin Family" also enjoy various condiments.

Jin, too, has come to enjoy the first piece of soba with mori, the second with nori and wasabi, and the third with grated daikon.

Therefore, the amount of each piece is small. This also made it possible to enjoy the freshly boiled soba when refilling your order (soba loses its aroma and stretches if it is left to boil).

The sauce can be as sweet or spicy as you like.

Saki, on the other hand, adds shichimi (seven spices) and ginger to her soba, and Reinhardt makes chilled tanuki (Kanto style) by adding deep-fried eggs.

Erza had tempura of wild vegetables, Licia had prawn tempura, and Bertsche also had prawn tempura. Hannah prefers grated nameko mushroom soba and Martha likes it with a lot of Momi Nori (dried seaweed).

Guth has only one bowl of hot kakesoba, and today Marcia had it with yamakake, or grated yam.

Rodrigo and Toa had chasoba, and Bina had chilled tsukimi with an egg in the sauce. Luis had mori-soba with a lot of charoto (green onion).

Meine and Vivienne had another bowl of zaru soba, and Maricka had tempura soba with itoto (sweet potato) and naturi (pumpkin) tempura.

Milowina ate one mori-soba and one chasoba gracefully.

She drank soba-yu (buckwheat water) and finished with soba-cha (buckwheat tea).

"Oh, it was so delicious!

Marikka said with satisfaction. And that was the feeling of all of us.

Marikka said with satisfaction, and that was the feeling of everyone.

"You all make a lot of things, don't you?

Milowina said with her characteristic air of softness.

"Yes, we do. ...... but maybe this is the way the previous generation ...... Adriana Barbora Zetsi dreamed of Hourai Island."

Jin answered as he sipped his buckwheat tea.
