Magi Craft Meister

03-22 When the mystery is solved

"Now, praise each other for our good fight, cheers!

Now five (four and one) Jen, Reiko, Marcia, Reinhardt and Elsa were celebrating at a fancy restaurant the other day.

Both Jen and Marcia were solicited and pioneered by the aristocratic and rich merchants after the tournament, so they were happy to ride the invitation from Reinhardt.

"Hey Jin, I lost to you! I didn't expect Lorelei to lose."

"Really. I couldn't believe it when Lorelei overworked the final stage"

Both Reinhardt and Elsa honestly admitted to losing.

"Jin, just tell me one thing"

In the meantime, when I see what you're saying, he wants to hear a lot about it.

What is it, Jen says,

"You've come to this continent, the Transition Gate."

Jen thought to himself that the story had come out.

"Yeah, but I don't really want to tell you. In case it breaks, we'll lose the means to go home."

Jen, who says no in an easy way. And Reinhardt, when he heard it, beckoned,

"Um, well. I wanted to check it out, but no..."

"Brother Rai, there's one or two things that anyone can't tell others"

That's what Elsa said. I also feel slightly unworthy in this case, but Reinhardt pulled back with it.

"I'm sorry. But one day, I'm sure, I'll invite you to my home office."

When Jen said that in a half diplomatic decree, Reinhardt ate it.

"Oh well! That's exciting! Tomorrow I have to travel to the capital of this country as a diplomat. Unfortunately, sooner or later, I'll be sure to ask!

"Oh, oh."

Jen regretted it for a moment.

From then on, the meal proceeds with a buzz about the competition.

The topic turned to the Golem that Jen and Reiko have captured.

"In the end, no wrongdoing was found on the operator's leache, so you weren't arrested. Valentino is in custody and under investigation."

"Hmm, reasonably agreeable, is it?

Marcia has a complicated look where Valentino has a lot to offer.

"Marcia's been through a lot."

Jen knows how Marcia feels like that.

Seeing those two, Reinhardt asked me to give him a hard time.

Normally, I don't even want to talk about it, but the fact that I was floating around winning, drinking wine and getting drunk, Marcia started talking about the struggle to get out.

"What? Talk to me in a little detail, in an orderly fashion"

And it was not long before Reinhardt listened back with a serious look on his face.

So Marcia started by not finding a magician (Magicraftsman) until the end of the day, and the magic stone (Magistone) had been bought up.

He also tells us that bronze was doubled in price and sold poor quality bronze.

"Hmm, after that, or that arson noise"

There was also a fire that Reinhardt put out for me. That one was totally after the ship.

And, at that time, Jen also decided to speak out that she would not have the opportunity to put this time aside and talk now.

"You know, actually, it's the night before the qualifying..."

Reiko repelled and talked about an intruder who had dumped him far away.

"What, so. Hmmm......"

Reinhardt putting his finger on his forehead and thinking.

"Brother Rai is smart even when he looks like this"

Elsa gives a subtle compliment.

"It's not like Dada has a diplomat in charge."

That Reinhardt seems to have gathered his thoughts after a while, looking up,

"The first thing I can say is that I didn't want to put Marcia on the field."

Jen agrees with it,

"Oh. But I don't know why. Why is Marcia exclusive? Other participants would be ignoring it, wouldn't they?

Reinhardt finally laughed at

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe Marcia wasn't the target, but the ship?

"What?"

In other words, Reinhardt went on to explain that he wanted to erase the double-torso ship.

"Who wants to turn it off?

"Of course, Valentino."

If I can't get into the competition, from Marcia's story, I'll have to let go of the double-torso ship. That way, Marcia will sell it to herself (Valentino) if she accumulates some money. Reinhardt deduces so.

"Well, you didn't have any money, and you have maintenance until next year, so depending on the amount, you would have sold it, even if they were in that Valentino"

Marcia backed Reinhardt's reasoning.

And his reasoning still goes on.

"Marcia can't buy a ship until the end of the competition because she is eligible to compete. The means taken there is arson."

This tells me that they don't want a ship, but that they have trouble with a ship, Reinhardt explained. So he takes a sip of wine and moisturizes his throat, continuing ahead.

"Arson failed. The ship carries an autonomous golem made by Jin. Poor hands could lead to the killer being identified"

Together, he listened to Reinhardt's reasoning without pinching his mouth.

"So I went out to the last resort. Hands that make it impossible for Marcia to compete by causing harm or kidnapping her. But it also failed."

Reinhardt, who explains with a different face than usual, was like someone else.

"The last resort is that underwater golem. But the plot was also attributed to blisters due to Miss Leiko's activities. How dare you interrupt other ships to win the championship?"

I mean, and Reinhardt put a breath there,

"Check the double-torso ship and you'll know what it is."

and concluded.

Ships from first to third place are now under the control of the Competition Commission. Come on, it's not something I can get my hands on, but I can't feel safe looking at previous M.O. 's.

Well, Valentino is an assistant lord. Well, I might be under a lot of investigation right now.

"If you're going to investigate, you better hurry."

To Reinhardt's words, as soon as they had cleaned up the leftover dishes, they took him away from the restaurant. It is already dark outside.

Walk down the streets illuminated by demonic guidance lamps and head to the harbor. The sea breeze at night was soothing and pleasant on his brooding face.

Reinhardt throws Marcia a question as she walks.

"When did you build that double-torso ship?

Marcia thought a little,

"Two years ago, I guess. Then I did a little rework. Oh, I did a major remodel last year."

"Last year, or... what did Valentino say he wanted Marcia to be his concubine?

"Last year...... Ah!

Again, something seems relevant.

Eventually the line reached the public dock in the harbor. One guard is at the top of the list.

"Thank you. I'd like to see the ship for a moment, okay?

He is the owner of the second-place team, Blue Sea (Blue Marine), and the intention of the guest Reinhardt. The guard nodded one thing, unlocking the dock passage.

Easily thank you and go inside. It was dark, but it was bright enough because Jen, Reiko, Reinhardt and Elsa used the magic of the light.

"Well, Marcia, will you check the ship?

It was Marcia who built the ship, and it was just investigated.

First, examine the entire boat hull. Even so, I can't find anything in particular because Jen is bleaching with surface treatment (saff treatment).

Then the right boat body. The interior was cavity, except for the structural material, which should have been.

"What is this?"

An invisible parchment was pushed into the gap between the right boat body and the girder material in its rear corner.

"If you're in this gap, you can't have never noticed it before."

Marcia took it out. It has something like a crest and letters on it, and a picture on it. Marcia reads it out.

"Yeah, what, a deal for four Elladorites, a contract certificate?

I heard that. Reinhardt and Elsa's eyes were opened.

"It's..."

"What," Elladolite "?

Two people who give surprised voices. But Jen,

"What, that?

It was a gem that Jen didn't even know about.

"Oh, that's..."

Reinhardt explains. said that it is a gem discovered about a hundred years ago and is very rare.

that, in many countries, distribution is regulated because of its characteristic of amplifying magic.

Even here in the kingdom of Areas, it should be the exclusive preserve of the country.

That one would probably not put down 10 million torres. Four would cost 40 million torres, equivalent to about 400 million yen.

An individual trades that stuff. That is smuggling.

"Oh, I don't know anything like this!

Marcia screamed. I can't wait to be assumed that I was involved in such a valuable gem deal.

"I know, it's not the kind of jewel that ordinary people can get"

You didn't want to see this contract certificate, when Reinhardt said it.

The front door of the dock opened with a flashy sound.
