Magicraft Meister Part 3

When Jin heard that the responsibility for the horse-drawn carriage accident was to be clarified in front of the prime minister, he guessed that it would be a trial.

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow,......, who will be summoned, Daikie or ......?"

"It will be those who were there, so I think it will be everyone except Marikka-sama, Hanako-san, and Cocona."

"That's right."

Jin nodded in agreement with Daikie's answer.

Both Jin and Erza were involved in rescue activities at the site.

"If we participate actively and accurately report the situation at that time, the trouble will be over sooner, won't it?"

"You could say that."

Jin wanted to get the troublesome things done first.

After all, he had a policy of finishing as much of his summer vacation homework as possible in July.

"Let's go over to Miyagi (Kyu-jo) from this side ......"

<

"No, I'll call the trial ......, but I'm afraid it would be a waste of my time if you come to me unprepared for the trial."

"I see."

While we were discussing this, we received word that a courier had arrived from Miyagi.

It was, as expected, a letter instructing all concerned to come to the castle for a meeting to discuss today's accident.

"I don't have any specific names, what should we do?

"It's too much trouble, let's all go. ......Oh, I don't want Marikka to get into trouble."

"Yes, that's right."

Aside from Daikki, Jin, Erza, Reiko, and Hope were working on the relief efforts, while Goh, Rubina, and Cocona were watching from nearby, as was Hanako.

Marikka was the only one who stayed at home in the carriage, so she had nothing to do with it.

Before that, it was decided that it would be better for Marikka to keep her face out of the public eye.

Jin thinks that Goh and Rubina should take this opportunity to attend the as a social study.

And not only to observe the meeting, but they may have a chance to testify.

"I think there are too many things happening in a short period of time, but I'm sure those two will be able to digest it ......."

Anyway, that was the reason why I was to go to Miyagi at 9:00 a.m. the next day.

Unexpectedly, the newly made formal wear came in handy.

By the way, Rubina will also wear the dress she just made.

Jin and Erza were sent to ...... from Horai Island by the old man.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Hey, Jin-sama, what's the council like?"

Rubina, curious, asks, but Jin is unable to answer.

"Well, I don't know much about the current laws of the Shoro Kingdom. ......"

"Oh, I see. ......"

But Daikie is the Count of the Shoro Kingdom, and he knows more about it than Jin.

"What is the council, Jin-sama? Whenever a major problem occurs in the castle, it is a meeting where the reasonableness and wrongdoing of the problem is examined, black and white is determined, and measures are taken to deal with the situation in the future. ......

"I see. ...... Rubina, do you understand?"

"Yes, I think so."

And the Prime Minister is the one who decides?

"Yes, I think it depends on the size of the problem. The Prime Minister will rule on it? - It depends on the magnitude of the problem.

When it's a matter of state, it will be decided by the Emperor himself.

If it's a matter of state, it's the emperor himself, and if it's not so important, it's the ministers or vice-ministers.

"There are no judges or magistrates, are there?"

"We have a Minister of Justice, but his role is to make and revise laws.

Jin thought to himself, "This is very different from the Minister of Justice that I know.

And .......

(I wonder if the role of the Ministry of Justice is a little different from other countries, because Her Majesty the Empress was a person who could see through the truth of things with her <. ......)

I remembered the old days a little.

Then I explained to Goh and Rubina about the precautions for tomorrow ...... mainly about the etiquette ...... and decided to take a rest for the day.

* * * *

The next day, February 5th.

After breakfast, Jin, Reiko, Elsa, Daikie, Cocona, Goh, Rubina, and Hope went to Miyagi.

Marikka and Hanako stay at home.

The , with Hope as its driver, arrives at Miyagi without trouble.

They park the carriages at the designated parking lot.

After that, everyone enters the palace. Goh is the heir apparent of Count Nido, and Jin and the others are considered to be acquaintances of Count Nido.

However, they are sure to be exposed when they meet the Prime Minister.

"Sir, please wait here."

A senior soldier led the group into the reception room. The room had a calm atmosphere.

However, Goh and Rubina seemed to be restless and fidgety.

"Are you two okay?　You might want to go to ...... the restroom."

"Uh, yes."

I'm going to go to ......."

I guess he is not used to this kind of situation. Goh and Rubina, who seemed quite nervous, went to the bathroom together.

"How can I calm them down in a situation like this?"

"It is difficult. It's hard to do anything other than to be there for them,......."

I guess that's ...... true.

In a sense, Jin thinks it will take some getting used to.

However, he has only one piece of advice.

When they came back, Jin said to them,

"Have confidence in yourself.

He tells them to "have confidence in themselves.

Confidence that you can handle anything. Confidence that you can handle anything that comes your way. Confidence that you can handle anything. Believe in yourself that you are ...... trying."

It's okay to be nervous. You are in an unusual situation.

But don't let the atmosphere get the better of you," Jin said.

"Neither Goh nor Rubina did anything wrong. So this time, just tell the truth about what you've been asked. I'm with you, Erza and Reiko, and Daikie and Cocona are with you."

"...... Yes, Jin-sama."

I understand.

The two seem to have been satisfied with the situation and seem to have regained some composure.

* * * * * *

"Count Nido and his party, thank you for your patience. <."

The senior soldier comes and leads the group to another room.

< was the .

"Thank you for coming, Count. That's my acquaintance .......　What's this, Mister Jin?

Waiting inside was the Prime Minister of the Shoro Kingdom, Roderich Barberas von Heizer. Of course, Jin and I are acquainted with each other.

"Countess Nido and ...... I see, so you are related to the Nido family, is that it?"

is the <<3rd generation Magecraft Meister>> and is considered to be a different person from <<2nd generation Magecraft Meister><>, the founder of the <>.

However, it is not surprising that he is related to the Nido family, since there are hints of some kind of connection ...... including blood relatives.

"That boy over there is your adopted son Goh, isn't he? And his friend, Miss Rubina."

The Prime Minister assured them that there was nothing wrong with the Nido family.

The door opened, and two people entered the room, led by a senior soldier.

The faces were familiar to Jin.

One was Viscount Yohia. The one with him must be the governor.

Bring the witness and the witness.

Yes, sir.

The senior soldier left the room three times and returned a few minutes later with five commoners and three guards.

Now it was time for the .
