Magicraft Meister Part 3

Goh's work on his automata has reached its climax.

He is now working on the head ......, or .

"Märze, do you have any hope for the face?"

"Is it a face ......?　Let's see... ......"

You don't have to say, "Do you want to look like your mother?　Goh had the self-control not to say, "I'm not going to try to look like my mother.

"You can try to look like someone else, or you can try to make a ...... montage."

Montage is a film term originally used to describe a technique of combining multiple cuts.

It was also used to create the desired face (usually a criminal) by cutting and pasting various eyes, noses, and so on.

The usage of gou is quite a misnomer, but in essence it means <>.

"Can you do that?

"Yes, I can. ...... look, magic resin."

Mix pigments with Magi Resin and make a model of the head to approximate the color of the skin, and let's get started. The lack of hair is not surprising.

"Round face, long face, what does it look like?

"Slightly long face, I guess."

Yes. ......<>...... how do you like it?"

"Well, I like a little bit longer face."

"Okay. <

"Oh, about that much."

"Yes, you can change it later. Okay, now let's move on to the eyes. ......"

Like this, little by little, we are getting closer and closer to the face that Mertze likes.

"......It's frustrating, but Goh is really good at this kind of thing, isn't he?"

"Rubina is right. Goh is logical and good at visualizing information. ......

Just as some people can draw a portrait of a person while listening to his or her features, Goh seems to have such a sense.

This is a feat that Rubina, who acts on her intuition, cannot do.

Jin, by the way, is somewhere between Goh and Rubina. It can be said that they have a good balance, but it can also be said that they are in the middle.

But aside from that, we are almost at the end of the face-making process.

What about the mouth?

"I don't want to have full lips."

"Yes."

I don't want them too big.

"Yes. ......<>"

Yeah, that's about right.

"Okay."

And the completed <.

"............"

"What can I say, it's <>."

"Hey, Rubina!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mel."

"......"

"Mel?"

"...... Oh, I'm sorry, Ruby, what?"

"Nothing, nothing. What were you thinking, Mel-chan?"

"This face. ......"

What face?

"......, it's like my mother's."

"Like your mother?"

Jin overheard this and thought that Merce was unconsciously following the image of his mother.

While Jin was thinking about whether it would be appropriate to point this out in direct words, Elsa spoke up.

"Ms. Merze, it is normal for children to follow their parents' shadow. It is nothing to be ashamed of.

"Miss Elsa, ......"

The face you want without knowing it, it's not disgusting, is it?

Of course not!

Then have this face made.

"Yes!

"....... So, Goh, please."

"Okay, sure."

Erza then withdrew and sat down next to Jin.

"That's great," she said.

"Well, this is about as good as it gets."

Jin was a little relieved to know that Elsa understands the girl's mind better than he does .......

Her hair was green, semi-long. Her eyes are also green.

Now the impression of the automata seemed to be quite different from that of Merce's mother.

And that's all right, she said.

* * * *

"Uh, ...... can you ask Rubina to do the covering for me, please?"

"Sure. I mean, if Goh hadn't suggested it, I would have kicked her out."

"......"

Covering a female automata means covering it with .

In other words, by covering them, they become more human.

This is why Goh, who was on the verge of puberty, was a little ......, or rather, quite embarrassed.

"I'll make you some clothes.

And Elsa offered to help.

"That would be great."

Thus, in the end, with the cooperation of Rubina and Erza, the automata for Meltze was successfully completed.

* * * * * *

"You did a good job, Goh. Rubina, thank you for your support. Thank you for the clothes, Elsa.

"Thank you very much.

I learned a lot. Thank you, Jin-sama.

"Yeah. Check out ............ and you're good to go. You can start it now.

But first, let's get Mertzsche to give it a name.

Wow, I do?

Yes. Yes. This is her automaton.

This is my ......

So I want you to give it a name.

"Okay."

Merce tilts his head and thinks hard.

"Well, how about <>?"

"Yes, that's a good idea.

"That's a good name, Mel."

"I think it's a good name."

Thus, the name is decided.

"Okay, then, Goh, start it up."

"Yes. ......<>"

"Yes, <>"

"Kya!"

Meltze let out a small cry.

Even though she has a tolerance for grotesqueries, she is still surprised to see an automaton suddenly start moving.

"Your name is .

"Yes, my name is Lara."

"Lara, how are you doing?"

< checks herself and reports that everything is fine.

"Good. Then your master is Merce here.

"Yes. Mr. Merce, I'm looking forward to working with you.

"It's my pleasure."

Thus, Meltze's own automata <> was completed.
