Magicraft Meister Part 3

The distance between <> and the village of Kawaha in the Kingdom of Franz is about 600 kilometers.

At present, <>'s airships can reach a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, so they can make the flight in four hours.

After a smooth flight, the two <> airships arrive at Kawaha Village before sunset.

Since there is no suitable landing site in Kawaha, they have no choice but to land on the street.

"Thank you very much for your hard work.

Naturally, they were greeted by a . The cavalryman Rei is next to them.

He was not in Kawaha at the time of the attack, but had arrived by transporter before the <>'s airship arrived.

"Thank you for contacting us, Makina-sama.

The person from <> is Jorda Carter, captain of the <>'s second airship squadron.

"Ah, we have met before, on the continent of Pandor."

I am honored that you remember me.

When Guillermo Malkitas once led a rebellion on the Pandor continent, it was he, Jorda Carter, who led a squadron from <> to suppress the rebellion.

On that occasion, they had met briefly.

"This time, I was investigating the Tromm mine cave-in accident in the Shoro Kingdom on my own after hearing about it from Jin-dono, and I noticed the existence of the <>. I followed the traces of them and ended up here.

"I see, you are indeed, Machina-dono."

In a manner of speaking, since <> also has a qualification equivalent to <>, it is free to enter and leave countries belonging to <>.

However, being "equivalent" means that they are not the same.

In other words, Makina cannot take out a criminal or a suspect without the permission of the country.

It is actually the request of Makina himself that individuals should not be given such extra-judicial authority.

So this time, he wants to hand them over to the .

With the airship landing on the street, there was no time to relax, and Jorda Carter was to pick up the terrorists,

"Well, I'll leave you now," she said to Makina.

She said goodbye to Makina.

"I hope you have a safe trip."

"Thank you, sir. Good bye."

Thus, the Tromm mine cave-in accident in the Shoro Kingdom was settled.

In Horai Island, Jin received such a report from the old man.

"After all, why did the incomplete cause the cave-in accident?"

That was the only point that Jin could not agree with.

As a result, he felt that although it was an obstacle to Jin's project ......<>, it was done too poorly.

"I don't know, huh?"

<

"Yeah, that's good. Let me hear it."

Jin was just hoping to hear an explanation that made sense to him and cleared his head.

<< of the .

"Yes."

<<> but <>.

<<> is the earthly equivalent of a raccoon dog. They are omnivores, like a badger, a raccoon and a civet divided by three, and are found all over Ars, although in smaller numbers.

The biota of Ars has been poor since it was converted by <>.

"<> or ....... Do they prefer to live in caves?"

<

"Huh?　Then, what happened to the escaped <?"

It seems that <<<<< force-operation>> made it dive deep into the tunnel and damaged the reinforcement, then called it back and retrieved it>.

It seems that they did not live in the hole.

"Is it like a dog whistle?"

A dog whistle is a whistle that emits a sound in the ultrasonic range that can be heard by dogs but not by humans.

In fact, it also emits a sound in the frequency range that can be heard by humans, but this is not to let people know that the whistle is being played, but because the sound in the ultrasonic range is highly attenuated and difficult to reach far.

It seems that one of the magic tools we confiscated in Kawaha Village was such a tool.

"Well, I suppose so."

<, it must be controlled by magic power. < or .

"So, it seems that there were ten <> in Kawaha village, but what about the rest?"

"That could be the case. ......Yeah, you've heard all you need to hear."

On the other hand, Doright Coates-Part was transferred to the capital, Leuthart, on the 5th, the day after he was arrested.

He is treated as a person of interest, not a criminal.

"Well, what about me?

He looked as if he was about to be taken to the place of execution.

In fact, it is said that the crime will not be so serious.

"Well, they'll probably keep us in a cell for a few years."

The leader of the accompanying agents, No. 0, said to the other members of the group.

"What do you mean by enclosure ......?"

At the unfamiliar word, No. 8 asked back.

"Yeah, enclosure is, in short, a punishment to make them produce what we demand, while restricting them from going out and meeting others as much as possible."

"I see. So you want to use his skills to help us."

That's what I'm thinking.

If he can make a contribution to his country, he will be detained for less time, and he can even work in a state-run workshop.

"That's what I think is reasonable."

I think that's reasonable," No. 0 concluded.

"So, you have a mastermind in the Franz kingdom, you say?

And the Emperor of Shoro, Ernst II, had also received word that <> had captured the terrorists.

"I guess we're almost done here."

"Yes. We can continue the construction of the memorial without any worries.

Ernst II said that the guards who had been stationed at the construction site because of possible dangers could be withdrawn.

"If anything should happen to the construction site, we would have no face to show to His Highness," he said.

"Indeed."

Ernst II and the Prime Minister looked at each other and smiled.

It was a warm, sunny day, and it seemed that spring was just around the corner.
