Magi Craft Meister

73-26, if you think you've solved one mystery,

After all, the Shinobi troops opened all the doors in the aisle and checked inside.

There were a total of 10 doors, all of which contained "immobile automatic dolls (automata)".

And the appearance of the automatic doll (automata) varied from room to room.

The number of automatic dolls (automata) placed (or left) in one room averaged 50.

I could guess what this meant, but it was lacking in decision-makers.

The answer is probably "the magic brain of general management".

The "Shinobi unit" aimed to reach the entrance of the passage.

There's a door in front of you.

Is there a "Magic Brain of General Management" over there?

It's highly probable.

And in front of the door that arrived.

<... white, right?

Only the door was white.

Does it still have anything to do with the First Generation?

<... now, that's... >

At that time, someone interrupted the line of magic waves used by the "Shinobi unit".

Welcome, visitors. Come on in.

The "white" door opened automatically.

[... we have to go in.]

Shinobi stepped carefully into the door.

Welcome, customer.

……

They were greeted by a maid dressed in antique clothes… an automata.

Behind it is a "tank" about 5 meters in diameter and 5 meters in height.

An ultra-compact golem. Isn't it wonderful?

Moreover, a voice different from that of a maid... no, the words through the line reached three "Shinobi troops".

Who said that...?

When Shinobi Yi answers, a mysterious voice answers.

Me? If I were you, I'd be right in front of you.

What?

Right in front of them, or in front of them, are the maid auto doll (Automata) and the silver 'tank'.

<... that "tank" over there?

Fufu, that's pretty sharp. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a container in front of you in which is' I '.

What the fuck!?

Silver tank.

Probably made of light silver, it also looks like a pressure vessel to store liquid.

<... no way, there's a brain inside...?

Fufu, hahahaha! Don't think about anything funny!

The mysterious voice laughed joyfully.

Cerebral medulla immersed in culture solution. That's interesting, but I'm not. The liquid in this container is "* @ +, > & $#"

What?

Hmm, was that a word that wasn't in your vocabulary?... in short, it's a liquid that contains a lot of 'Liberty Magic (Ether)'.

<... I see. I know what it looks like. It's called "ethenol."

Oh, ethenol.... interesting. It may not be exactly the same, but let's call it that for now.

The container is said to be filled with ethenol. But that's not the only way to think like this.

<... what's in that ethenol?

...... Huh.... can you guess that much? This is really interesting.

So, what's the answer?

Fufu, let's just say it's still a secret...

It's a waste of time.

Fufufu, what an interesting existence you are.

The mysterious voice laughs.

<... but at least let me know your name. My name is Shinobi.

First name.... but let's call it "Jedoev."

Jedoev?

The name sounded familiar.

<... maybe it's the name of the "Origin" of the "First Generation"?

Yes, it is the same name that was engraved in the tomb that Reiko discovered.

Huh? … Looks like you know a lot of things.

No, there's a lot I don't know.

For example?

< Mu...... >

Thinking a little, Shinobi talked about the word here.

(... about "Mentas", etc.)

Ho... do you know that word?

Coincidence.... can you tell me what "Mentas" is?

Very well. "Mentas is me."

... surprised?

Oh, my God.

It was supposed to be the name of the magic brain, but I didn't think it existed in front of me.

But "Mentas-Jedoev" was also surprised.

I see.... you can be surprised.... whoever created you is alive?

Of course I did.

Oh, I see! That's a good thing I heard.

Apparently, the tone of voice changed. Apparently, "Mentas-Jedoev" also has feelings.

But that's it. The other question was asked carefully.

<... what do you mean, good?

I want to see you.

<... what should we do when we meet?

I need to ask you something.

What's that?

Umu........................

"Mentas-Jedoev," he says.

What's going on? Hard to say?

Not really, but... well, look.... I was hoping you'd make an automata doll.

Automata? Why?

You must have seen the abandoned Automata doll on your way here.

<... hmm >

I wondered if it was still a waste.

I sorted out the best of the many I made, but I'm really not convinced.

<... so you want to meet my producer?

That's what I'm talking about. Can I talk to you for a second?

……

Shinobi thought about it.

This magical brain called "Mentas-Jedoev" makes sense.

I should report this to Jen and ask him to send me a "Doppel".

But suddenly things changed.

... what do you think? Answer me!

Suddenly, the attitude of "Mentas-Jedoev" changed.

Please respond!

<... what's wrong, 'Mentas-Jedoev'?

Shinobi calling...

I am "Felhete." It's not "Jedeev."

<... that's... that's also the name of the Original (Origin)... >

Do you know that? Hmm, you read the inscription "Oeste 2"? Well, I'm asking you to call the engineer who built you.

<... do you have two personalities?

I'm not obliged to answer your questions.

"... unless you guarantee my safety, I can't call your husband."

You're a tough guy.

You must be worried about your husband's safety.

Hmm, sure.

"... if you can guarantee my safety, could you disclose a little more of your information as evidence?"

Thus, the negotiations between the mysterious magic brain "Mentas" and "Shinobi" continue....
