Magicraft Meister Part 3

Even though he is out of control, <> seems to be able to talk with him. However, Jin guessed that <> would only accept what is beneficial to his side.

Therefore, Jin decided to leave the control of Jin D to Lao-kun, because he had to be more careful in his future negotiations with <>.

"Please, Mr. Lao.

* * * * * *

The old man, who had taken Jin's place, began to talk with him, making full use of the data he had accumulated so far on how to negotiate with the magical brain of the .

"<>, are you in need of an engineer over there?"

"Yes.

<> seemed to have calmed down a bit, and his speech was becoming more reasonable. Jin D. continues the conversation.

"I see. ...... then I'll go."

"......mmm. You are the right person for the job. Very well. I'll only allow you first."

"...... Reiko?"

No. Only you can do it.

This was unexpected. Until now, there had been few cases in which Reiko had not been allowed to accompany Jin.

"...... understand. But will you allow me to bring my own tools?

"Yes, that's fine."

Okay, give me three minutes.

Jin D pretended to go to get his tools and went to .

Reiko goes with him and the old man transfers the mini Reiko.

Mini Reiko will hide in the bag with the tools.

If she is found in the bag, she will be let through with <>.

Then three minutes, Jin D. returns under <>.

"We are ready."

"...... Let's see what's inside, just in case."

"Okay."

In addition to the mini Reiko, the contents of the bag include clamps, supports, cutters, a dozen or so Magi crystals, a ruler, a rag, etc. And as for the mini Reiko, there are no problems.

And as for the mini Reiko, she was allowed to bring it in with no problem.

"Well, let's go."

"Okay."

The open cellus stood up, and Jin D. followed him.

"Okay, I'm going.

"Take care, sir."

"Jin-dono, you're in good hands."

Marikka and <1> sent Jin D. away with <.

As they walked away, <> said, <> could not follow them, because <> had told them that he would not allow them to follow them and that he would not guarantee the safety of Jin and the others.

* * * * * *

The same sequence of events was observed on the island of Horai.

"Well, this is a new pattern..."

"Ah. <, it seems to have a very different way of thinking.

"Indeed. The self-destructing golem is a very elaborate way of preventing them from realizing where they are based.

Jin and the others agreed that they had to consider the situation as completely different from that of the previous .

Then Hannah spoke up with a thought.

"......Why do I feel a little ...... unconnected?"

This was answered by Jin.

"I think it's probably because ...... some part of is out of control."

"Onii-chan, does that mean that there is no unity of thought among the units?"

"I think that's very likely. That's why I think we have to fix it."

"Yes, I understand that. But I have a bad feeling about going to <>."

"Well, that's what the doppelganger is for."

"Yeah. ......"

Jin and the others heard the old man's voice and looked at the large magic screen. .......

* * * *

"Come on, follow me."

"Okay."

Jin D follows <> and walks for about 10 minutes.

No one seems to be following them, but the <> is following them.

The <> were also watching.

"Get in here."

pointed to a magic circle.

It is different from the one that destroyed by blowing himself up earlier.

"Okay, let's go!"

After Jin D gets on, gets on too, and the two of them shift at the same time.

Unfortunately, this makes it impossible for the Shinobi Forces to pursue them.

If this was intentional, <> was a clever man, but it was probably just a coincidence.

The place to which we have been transferred is a small, spacious room. Jin-D guesses that it is a relay point.

"This way!"

calls Jin-D to a corner of the room.

There was an ingeniously hidden hatch. It was just big enough for one person to fit through.

"Go ahead."

lets Jin-D through the hatch.

Just when Jin-D thought that would not be able to get through the hatch, he felt a shock on his back.

<.

The end of the hatch was a dark vertical hole.

"What?

Since the old man was in control, he could have reacted instantly, but he decided it would be best to play the role of Jin and continued to fall down the hole.

Of course, he activated his night vision function and, in case of emergency, he planned to mitigate the impact with a .

But there was no need.

Perhaps there is some kind of gravity magic inside the pit, so the speed of the fall is slow and constant. The speed is so slow and constant that even if the object were to fall on its head, it would not suffer serious damage.

After about 30 seconds of falling, Jin D arrived at the bottom of the pit.

By that time, he had regained his body posture and landed on his feet without any danger.

As soon as he landed, the lights came on.

"Oh!"

The room was like an airlock.

The door was opened from the outside, and standing there was .......

"Serius?　No, no..."

It was a golem of the same type as the one that had pushed Jin D away.

"That's a good eye you've got there. But I am also Seruus.

I see... Seruus is the name of the magic brain that controls that type of golem.

That's right. Come on, pick up."

Jin D., satisfied, followed <> out of the airlock-like small room.

Jin D. then followed the guide down the corridor.

On the way, he passed through three rooms with heavy shutters.

Jin D., suspecting that they are for security purposes, walks down the hallway as he is led.

After about 15 minutes of walking......, which means about 1 km away from the pit,...... we finally arrived at a place that looked like our destination. He finally arrived at a place that seemed to be his destination.

"Is this ......<>?"

Jin D asked,

"Yes. Yes, it is one of them.

Serus answered, "Yes, it is one of them.
