Magicraft Meister Part 4

"Well, what are we going to do now?"

Jin D asked Arnold after checking the underground facilities.

"Well, I think I've made my mind up.

"I see. Well, let's go back to the hurricane.

"Yeah, that's fine."

So the group takes the reverse route to the rocky chasm. Of course, < and are with them.

By the way, the old man has already confirmed with his <> that there is nothing more to see in the underground facility.

"This is the entrance/exit here, shall we bury it a little deeper?"

Jin D suggested before leaving the crack in the rock. Arnold nodded.

"Yes, that would be better."

"Good."

Reiko did most of the work.

The work was done in about 5 minutes.

"Now it's going to be more trouble than it's worth to go underground.

"Well, I guess we can rest easy now."

The risk of being found by accident has been greatly reduced.

Jin and the rest of the Horai Islanders can use the to transfer to the inside, so there will be no problem.

And Jin plans to confide in Arnold and the others in the near future.

* * * *

< and takes over with Jin. He temporarily took over the control from the old man and came back from Horai Island through the warp gate.

Jin D was left in the just in case.

"Oh, you're back as Jin himself.

"Yes. You're safe here."

Trying to calm down a bit, Jin decides to have some tea. Reiko made it, of course.

"This green tea is delicious.

"I'm glad you like it."

After relaxing for a while, Jin said.

"It's almost evening, let's go back to the royal castle to report.

"Yes, I suppose so."

Since this investigation was commissioned by the king of the Kingdom of Celuloa, it is appropriate to report at the end of the day.

Therefore, < set out for the capital city of Esia.

The distance to the capital, Esia, is approximately 200 kilometers.

The distance to the capital, Esia, is about 200 kilometers, and <> arrived at the royal castle at 4:30 p.m. local time.

Having visited the castle many times recently, the airship squadron guarding the sky seems to be getting used to it, and the <> landed smoothly inside the castle.

"Jin-dono, Arnold-dono, thank you for your hard work.

Prime Minister Dine greeted the group.

"I have just finished my investigation and have come to report to His Majesty," said Jin.

Prime Minister Dayne looks surprised.

"My God!　You have already finished!　You're very good!"

He then told them that the King's office hours were already full for the day, so he would ask them to come back first thing tomorrow morning.

"Yes, that's fine.

"Yes, that's fine." "I don't mind either."

Jin and Arnold agreed, so the Prime Minister took the group to the same guest room as before, told them to take their time, and left.

The guests of honor were Reiko and Chel, respectively, so they were not accompanied by a chamberlain from the royal castle.

"Well, let's take it easy until tomorrow."

"Yes, father. Do you want to take a bath at ......?

"Yes, of course."

"Yes, I would like to wash your back."

Arnold and Chel were relaxing ...... at the same time Jin and the others were relaxing.

"I had a good time today, too.

"I'm glad you're having fun, Arnold-sama."

"I see."

"Yes. I don't need anything as long as you're happy.

"Thank you, Chelle."

I was taking a bath while having such a conversation with .......

* * * * * * * *

The next day, that is, the last day of February, the 30th.

At 8:30 a.m., Jin and the others were in a familiar small conference room.

In attendance are King Beaux-Arts, Prime Minister Dine, and Jin and the others (Jin, Reiko, Arnold, and Chelle). is not present.

"First of all, Jin-dono and Arnold-dono, thank you for your quick investigation and report.

Prime Minister Dine announced, and the debriefing began.

"First of all, the underground facility that was supposed to be located just west of <>: ......"

Arnold was the spokesman.

"Hmmm, the magic circle to get to the facility is gone, but you can't just ...... do it that way, can you?"

"I'm sorry, sir," said Arnold. I'm very impressed with ....... The underground facility we visited had only a piece of machinery that appeared to be used for civil engineering work."

Is that so?

"Yes. I found another important discovery at .......

What's that?

Information on a facility that may have been used to make the ultimate weapon.

<

"What?

What?

"Oh, no, I think that <> is the name of the development. At the time of ......, it was popular to give development projects such daring names as <> or <>.

"Really?　...... Well, that makes sense."

Yes. ...... and it turns out that the location seems to be of the ."

At this point Jin temporarily takes over the explanation.

"So, since there was still time, I went to the place by <>."

"I see.

"And I found the facility, in the meantime.

"Oh!　That's what I'm talking about.

You two are the real deal.

"What I found there is ...... an arrow that flies and explodes when it strikes an opponent, something like a ballista that can attack at long range, something like a spear that flies after its target and explodes when it strikes it.

Jin described the <<<> in these terms.

"Ummm ...... what is that extraordinary weapon?"

"Probably unfinished, but it was developed at the end of the <>."

"Mm......"

Jin makes a suggestion.

"I think it would be better to transfer these weapons to <>."

"Mm...... would be right. We have no use for them in our possession, and we do not want to arouse suspicion from other countries.

King Beaux-Arts decided easily.

"That would be a good idea.

And Prime Minister Dayin also agreed with the king's idea.

"Well, I'd like to at least request a little bit of inspection to see what kind of thing it is.

"I'm sure you would."

Jin smiled and nodded.

"If you do, I and Arnold will accompany you.

"Oh, that would be great."

This was not the end of the report ......, but there was one more thing.

"Also, I'd like to report on the ledger we found."

"I didn't know there was such a thing. ......"

The king and the prime minister were a little curious.
