Magicraft Meister Part 3

The underground facility under Fort Rutgula is a dangerous place.

Our first priority is to persuade and detoxify the magical brains there.

"Can you persuade ......?"

Seriin Kokdan Memento, Minister of Magical Technology, muttered.

Deus ex machina III answers the question.

I honestly don't know. No, maybe I can't."

"Not even you, Lord Machina?"

"No, not even me, but maybe <>. I think ...... that the level of technology in the old Dinaric kingdom is not low, but the magic brain is not so good.

"What do you mean?"

The Minister of Magical Technology asked.

"What I and Jin have learned is the system of created by . From my point of view, that is too incomplete."

"What is ...... about it?"

Well, ...... you are the Minister of Magical Technology, aren't you?

Yes, sir.

Cerin Coqdan Memento is 28 years old. She wears round silver-rimmed glasses because she is nearsighted.

She is of medium height and good shape, which makes her popular with the ladies, but she is a tight-fisted man.

"You are not from the Kingdom of Cerroa, are you?

Do you know where you're from?

Yes. By name.

Yes, I do.

In the Kingdom of Cerroa, commoners have only a first name.

Honorary positions are . Special honorary positions are . The names of these ranks are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Theta, Theta, Iota, Kappa, and the tenth rank is decided by a selection committee once every ten years.

The nobility is .

Royalty, by the way, has . Lineage names are like family names, such as Valois, Boulogne, Dru, Conti, Chatois, etc. It is like a family name in Japan.

The absence of the <> in the name led Makina III to suspect that he was from another country.

"My father is from the Kingdom of Egelea.

"Oh, I see.

In the Kingdom of Egelea, nobles have .

That is why her daughter, Selene, is named in the style of the Kingdom of Egelea.

"If I were to take the name in the style of the Kingdom of Cerroa, I would say , wouldn't I?

"Yes, it would. ...... but Seriin, I would like to proceed."

The Prime Minister complained.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry... I'm reminded of a friend of mine from the Kingdom of Egelea. Let's continue the ...... story."

Makina III chuckles and resumes his explanation.

"You're too tied to the first order ...... base order. Your poor judgment may be the reason for such a situation, but this would be better as a mere information processor."

The < who is piloting the Machina III is < and is based on Jin's knowledge.

Therefore, it is different from the magical brain made by someone other than Jin.

"You have no imagination. I want to ask him if he can't even develop logic.

A harsh assessment.

But that's how incomplete the magical brain of Fort Lutgra is.

"It's been more than 600 years since the end of the <>, so they probably don't have the thought process that there must be some kind of change."

"Ah, it's true as you say, since you can't even imagine the possibility that things might have changed in 600 years.

"That's why I'm tempted to say that a mere information-processing device would be better.

A mere information processor, Makina III imagines, is the computer of Jin's memory.

Machina III said that as long as it faithfully carried out the orders it was given, it did not need to make unnecessary decisions on its own.

"Well, please listen to me on that assumption. That's the reason why you can't convince the magic brain, isn't it?

"Oh, yes.

"It seems to me that the base order can't be changed."

In other words, a magic brain made for the purpose of <> can't be used for any other purpose.

I see. So that's what you're saying.

"I see. I can't help but be concerned that persuasion may be completely meaningless, like trying to make ice with fire.

"Well, if you say so, it is quite probable, isn't it?

The Prime Minister looks at me with difficulty.

"It wouldn't be difficult to simply destroy it, though."

"It's not difficult, is it? ......"

Seriin heard Makina III's comment, and was a little taken aback.

"No, that's why it's , isn't it?　I'm saying that it's difficult to do it without causing damage to the surrounding area, or without destroying the fortress, which is the upper facility, because those conditions are usually attached.

"So it's not that it can't be done, it's that it's difficult. ......

"Well, if you have any means at all."

"......"

Leaving the Minister of Magical Technology in the background, Makina III spoke up with a pragmatic proposal.

"A magical brain that still considers the demonic ......<> as enemies will do a hundred harms and not a single good. It would be better to extract the information and destroy it.

"But how to get close to the magic brain, do you have a plan, ...... Machina-dono?"

"I'm thinking of ...... working with Jin."

"Oh, with the Magecraft Meister, the Magecraft Master!　I see, that would be the most powerful tag-team ever!

The Prime Minister is delighted to hear this idea. Jin and Makina III are considered to be the best magical engineers in the known world, and Makina III is known to have a powerful private army.

"That's why I'm going to meet up with Jin after this to plan a strategy."

"Well, Makina-sama, I'll leave it to you. It is frustrating that we cannot solve our own problems within our own country.

The king of the Kingdom of Selroa also expressed his intention to leave the matter to Makina III.

"I accept.

Makina III then left the room.

On his way to ......, he stopped, turned around, and said

"I will keep you posted on the progress as best I can. ...... to the Prime Minister, is that correct?"

I'll take care of it.

I'll do it.

And this time, Makina III left the room.

in the Kingdom of Cerroa.

"I see, I understand."

On the island of Horai, the old lord and the <> were reporting to Jin.

.

"So it was that way, not Groma. ......"

<<

"I see. I see. ......They may have been trying to break her brainwashing when they knocked her out. ......"

Jin remembered that Eira did not want to talk about her past or her family.

"What about Eira's report to <>?　Does it say anything to back it up?"

<>, he said.

"Did you check?"

<>

The old man was a fast worker.

"Well then, I'll take care of the magic patterns. Please prepare the ......<."

Finally, the tag team of Jin and Machina III begins to work.......
