Magi Craft Meister

"This place is cheap and delicious."

Jen once again observed Marcia speaking that way.

You can say the appearance is beautiful, but the face without makeup is sunburned in wheat, just like the hands and feet, and blackened either for the shipbuilder's (shiplight) job or between the nails.

If you do, it seems that shipbuilders (shiplights) are not magically processing materials, but the types of jobs they assemble by hand.

Normally, he wears hemp up and down and hangs a dirt-proof apron-like thing from his neck.

"Um, what do we talk about?"

Jens was surrounding the table drinking a cuhe called the specialty of the region. Because of this, I also drink Reiko to pretend to be human. Just because you don't need to eat and drink, you can eat and drink.

After a sip, Jen felt that the taste was close to cocoa even though it was a similar name to coffee, and decided to go buy it later.

Marcia also took a sip of that kuhe,

"This country, the kingdom of Elias, is a country where ships have developed."

I cut it out like that in a manly tone. Jen, too,

"Oh, I know that"

"So, every year or every other year, there's gonna be a lot of competition for ships."

"Heh."

Again, they have something like a race. Effective in polishing technology.

"So, five days from now, there's going to be a highway competition."

"That sounds interesting"

When Jen hits the hammer like that without any concern,

"Sounds interesting, doesn't it? Huh?"

Marcia rides herself out and says so. And

"So join us! Money will do everything I can."

"Hey, wait a minute"

Jen stops pushing excited Marcia.

"The story flew. Explain to me from the fact that there is a fast boat competition."

Marcia, who sat back down, drinks up the remaining cuhe in the cup,

"Bad, bad. So, there are some restrictions or conditions on the competition of that high-speed boat."

"Yeah."

"The size, the length, the width, the number of passengers, the condition that the golem moves."

"The golem?

"Yes, to be more specific, the pilot is a human, and the golem is the one who rows the ship."

"Oh, I see"

I'm beginning to understand. In other words, it is a race of ships powered by the Golem.

"So I want Jin, a magician, to make a golem! Please!"

Jen, who scorned Marcia, who was getting excited again,

"I got the story. So, the benefits of the competition...... what are the advantages?

"Of course, honor! It's a great honor for a shipbuilder to be number one, isn't it? Well, I can get you a prize."

Jen knows how that feels. Making a moving model is what makes you want to compete with others.

"So, why me?

It is the key point. Why do you stick to Jen the first time you meet him?

"There aren't many free magicians (Magicraftsmen). And no matter what I say, how I reacted when I saw the ship I built."

"Oh, that two-torso ship."

"Yes, that! I thought you said" double-torso ship. "That means there are other ships in that shape, right?

"Well, sort of."

To the rest of the world, I can't say.

"In other words, Jin is a magician (Magicraftsman) who is free and has knowledge of ships. That's why I need your help."

Having said that, Marcia goes on to say the words after a few words.

"... my house has been a shipbuilder (Shiplight) for generations, but my father broke into the fray and crushed the store. At the end of the quote, I made a woman elsewhere and she went missing. But I want to set up another shop..."

After a few words, Marcia goes on with her words.

"... Honestly, there's no more after. If you don't sell your name in this competition, your father's shop will be completely in the hands of others."

I'm not going to ask you in depth about what's going on around there, Jen.

"I see. But why would you trust me when you first met me?

"I've been struggling with this since I was a little girl. If we meet a little and talk, we'll know more or less about the other guy. Jin, you can be trusted."

Jen smiled bitterly,

"You can't say no if you're expected that far."

Next door Reiko had, after all, such a look.

Because Jen understood, Marcia said,

"That's it. I got to go! All right, that's settled. Until competition day, Jin and I will team up. The reward is... yes, Jin, what about your inn?

"It's called the Sea Ringing Pavilion."

"Oh, I'm there, too. That's odd. My room is called" Herrin "upstairs."

"We're 'Bonito' upstairs."

"It would be easier to meet at the same inn. Shall we talk about the rest?"

"Right."

So, from there on, I decided to do it at the "Sea Ringing Pavilion".

We talk over lunch in the dining room of "Sea Ringing Pavilion". It was a fish-centered menu and Jen's favorite.

"Well, that's a reward, but is there hope?

That's what Jen was told. After thinking,

"What's half the winning prize?

When I said that, Marcia was out of line. My face is also cramped.

"I said I'd do whatever I could... Jin, are you surprised?

"Uh, why?

"'Cause a winning prize is a million torres, right?

It is about 10 million yen.

Half the winning prize appropriately, when I said it, they thought I told them to give it to me even at the bottom. So rush to deceive.

"No, if you win, yes. Unless you couldn't win."

You seem confident.

"Oh, it's natural to go for the win, isn't it?

Marcia laughed, too, when Jen said that, laughing not to be enlightened by her inner impatience.

"Oh, nice! Aim, winner! If you win, I'll be happy to give you half!... So, what's the truth?

"Yeah, well, Marcia's gonna have to look at my job and make up her mind."

"Is that all right?

"Oh. I'm not having any trouble eating at the moment."

That said, Marcia softened her expression, too.

"Yeah, that's unusual, Gin. But if that's all right with you, I'll let you."

That brings the contract to an end. to be documented later, Marcia added, looking at Reiko,

"By the way, Laeko, you're silent."

Marcia said that.

"No, and... if your brother enjoys it, that's fine with me."

For once, the setting of siblings is still valid in public.

"Yeah, you're a sister who did. But, you know, if it's not funny, you can go play somewhere, okay?

"No, I didn't notice"

still said something. Jen turned to Marcia, who said

"For once, Reiko is my assistant, so I want you to listen to me."

That's what I said. Marcia was surprised,

"Oh, yeah. It's unusual to say that you're siblings and magicians. Well, if you say so. Shall we continue?"

That explains the competition.

"The total length is within four meters and the width is also within four meters. Well, normally, if the width increases, the ship slows down, but..."

"A double-torso ship won't slow you down if it increases in width. So, stability is good."

"That sort of thing. So, the crew is limited to the operator and the golem. The ship operator is limited to women. Well, I'll ride. And rowing a ship is a golem."

That's where Jen puts the question.

"You got a minute? How does the Golem move the ship?

"All or paddles, right?"

"Shouldn't there be any other way to drive it?

Marcia, who for a moment did not understand the meaning of the question, but immediately saw it coming to light,

"Is there a good way?

"Yeah, but it's not a good idea to get caught up in the policy."

But Marcia...

"That's not true. For example, let the golem swim and pull it off, but it should be okay."

Jen, who heard that,

"That's good. So, what are the regulations about the golem?

"Oh, within two meters of height. Weight unlimited. If it's heavy, it's bad luck."

"What about ingredients?

"There must have been nothing."

That's what I heard. Jen was just starting to put blueprints together in his head.
