Magicraft Meister Part 3

The old man's efforts to persuade Cher have been largely successful.

The <>, , will be made more concrete by the , and the freedom of action will be expanded.

What is the <>.......

First of all, <>. This is an important point in raising a person.

Second, <>. This is also an important ethical point.

Furthermore, <>. Depending on the education, there is a possibility to make them do useful work for the society.

And .

With these three things, it will be possible to punish the criminals <>.

Until now, the <> part was too vague to act on.

By the way, there is a < in the design of AI (Artificial Intelligence).

In a nutshell, the problem is how to make decisions necessary to achieve a goal.

In this case, if we aim for perfection, we will have to simulate every possible event that may occur, and eventually we will not be able to act.

Of course, if we only focus on achieving the goal, we will not be able to cope with troubles that may occur in the process of achieving the goal.

In the case of Chelle, a problem similar to this problem occurred, and she was unable to take action against the criminals who stole <> and <>.

Is it a good thing to punish the criminals or not?

Punishment is a reward. Those who do wrong will be punished.

Then, on what level?

Respect for human life. Cher, the automaton, should avoid murder and hand over the criminal to the proper authorities.

The greatest happiness for the greatest number.

The murderer may be unhappy. But it is acceptable if the well-being of more and more people is protected.

Moreover, it is even better if the criminal is rehabilitated.

And so on.

And since <> is an afterthought, it can decide for itself.

In other words, at this moment, Chell has been reborn.

"Thank you, <>."

Chelle, no longer hesitating in her actions, thanked him frankly.

<

"That's what I'm hoping for."

<<

"I see. <

The old man let go of the control and Anne came back to herself.

However, she remembered everything she had said to him as the old man.

"It's over, isn't it?"

"Yes. Yes. Thank you, Anne. I'd like to meet you more and more,...... but you're the one who can create such a magical brain,......."

"We will meet again in the near future."

Yes. ......And you told me that I should get to know the current times a little better, didn't you?"

"I see. So, shall we put the matter of the Sorikyokai on hold and go to the magic shop and workshop as originally planned?

"I think that would be a good idea. <

"Yes, sir."

It is still 10:00 a.m., enough time to see the town of Kupu.

Once again, Chell, Anne, Hahn, and the others moved to the town of Kupu.

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

"It's very lively, isn't it?

"It was still early in the morning, so the flow of people was still very small.

The roles of each person are the same as before.

Chelle is the merchant's daughter, Anne is the maid of honor, and Hearn is the escort golem.

First, they went to the magic shop.

It is the biggest magic shop in Kupu, with a wide frontage and a thriving business.

The store is open to the public, and you can look around the show windows and showcases. When you want to pick up a piece of equipment, you have to call a clerk to take it out of the showcase.

It is no wonder that many of the magic tools are expensive.

"Hmm, a lighter, a water heater, a refrigerator ......, these look useful."

Chelle was impressed by the series of daily necessities,

"Portable lighting fixtures ......?　A magical device for heating?　Why is ...... so big?"

She frowned at another category of commodities.

〈......Ah, most of the things you have over there were developed by Goshujin-sama and his friends.

I see. Then, this is .......

Yes, it's an area that has existed for a long time, but that you and your friends haven't touched yet.

It's a very different level of perfection.

These conversations are conducted in the ultrasonic range, and the customers in the store do not hear them.

The store also sells materials, which Chell also checks.

"The quality of the material is so-so, I guess.

This is supposed to be a new material.

Oh, yes, that's right. What's this?

It's a subterranean spider resin. It's a resin made from the threads spit out by demons that live in the depths of the earth and feed on free magic element (ether).

It's a highly durable material.

That's what it is. This was also discovered by a friend of yours.

It's only possible with your friend, the Magecraft Meister.

And this is...

Magi plastic. ......

Take a look at this.

What is it?　......

Anne showed Chelle the Magi Crystals.

They are displayed for each attribute.

"It's a feast for the eyes just to look at them, isn't it?"

"Yes, my lady."

Red for fire. Light blue for water, green for wind, yellow for earth.

A large number of colorful magi crystals were on display.

"The price is ...... very cheap."

I'm sure it's because materials were in short supply at the end of the war.

I can't ...... deny that.

While exchanging these conversations, Chell looks around the store.

There are advanced and inferior aspects,......, it's a bit of a muddle.

Most of the more advanced magic tools have a master mind, don't they?

So that's what a "Magecraft Meister" is?

I'm impressed, Chelle.

And then, having finished looking around, Chelle leaves the store quickly.
