Magi Craft Meister

07-05 Loneliness

I stayed in a luxury inn there in the town of Delhi. Stone disappointing three-story building, built like a rooftop.

At night, Jen, who somehow couldn't sleep and left the room, went up the stairs and tried to get out onto the roof. The little lights are on and I manage to see my feet.

The stars were blinking in the spring night sky.

"Uh, that's a beautiful night sky. I don't know about this constellation or anything."

Jen looks up at the starry sky and feels centimetres without a pattern. So,

"Reiko, you're here, right?

"Yes, Father."

Reiko, a loyal automatic doll who always defends Jen (Automata), revealed herself by unraveling the magic of "Consumer (Stealth)".

"Come here."

"Yes."

Jen, who was somewhat lonely, calls Reiko aside and strokes her head.

"Your father?

Reiko raised her voice in surprise at how Jen looked a little different than usual.

"Mm-hmm. You've always been there for me."

"Yes, because that's why I exist"

"Hehe, don't you always say that. All right, stay close."

"Yes, of course."

It's dark and doesn't look good on Jen, but Reiko had an extraordinary smile on her face at that time.

Suddenly the song zeroes out of Jen's mouth. I've always forgotten the song for some reason now.

A line of stories going west to find Sutra, its ending theme. This is one of the songs I heard in the Dean's collection on videotape, not cassette tape.

"Father..."

Reiko holds Jen's hand. Hopefully that will lead to some confusion of loneliness.

Jen finished singing, then.

I heard footsteps behind my back. Reiko turns quickly and takes a combat stance......, but.

"Jin, huh?

That was Elsa. Elsa's room was on the third floor and she came up because she heard Jen.

"Elsa? What's up?

When Jen hears that,

"That's dialogue over here. Jin, what's wrong with you?

"I don't care what you ask me. Somehow, I couldn't sleep, so I came out."

Answering that, Elsa looked like she was going to explore.

"Yeah."

and reacted as if convinced at once.

"So, what's the song now?

"Somehow."

He wasn't convinced by that reply, and Elsa was showing a bare gesture to think about.

"Jin, do you miss me?

Didn't you mention the inside of Jen's chest?

"Huh?"

It seemed like it was dark and I didn't need to be seen in a hurry, but Jen was obviously a werewolf. Sometimes I didn't think Elsa would tell me.

"Hey, why?

If you ask that in a somewhat elevated voice,

"Because I was"

Elsa said that.

"My father rarely stays home because he is a soldier. My mother is weak and doesn't get out of the room much. My brothers and I are too old to talk to each other."

Elsa's family composition I've heard before, I still also want to sympathize when I ask her in advance.

"Brother Rai doesn't always play that way either. Especially since I became a diplomat."

I must not have had many friends my age either. I guess there's also a reason around that I'm not very good at conversations, Jen thought.

"Sometimes when I'm rushing, I want to be alone instead. And I remember when it was fun."

"When Elsa had fun, that means..."

"When I was little. I played with my brothers and my brother Rai, yeah, when they played with me."

After all, Jen once again thinks that childhood memories seem special. A young day I could just play with without knowing anything.

In Jen's case, it was for a very short time, but it did happen.

"Jin, you're an amazing magician (Magicraftsman). But that's why you're lonely"

Elsa is somewhat sharp tonight.

"... and Brother Rai said"

But it actually seemed like a Reinhardt takeover and sale.

"Brother Rai said. Only those who know the same thoughts can bury loneliness."

"... Elsa"

Jen is surprised that those words came out of Elsa's mouth. but

"... what do you mean?

I knew Elsa was like Elsa.

Somehow serious feelings have gone somewhere, Jen. Look up at the night sky again, and see Elsa.

"Isn't it cold?

In the dark, if you look good, Elsa was dressed in her bedroom.

"Mm-hmm."

Still, Jen took off the jacket she was wearing and let Elsa weave her feathers.

"Thank you. Jin, you're always sweet"

Elsa gratefully matches the front of her jacket. Jen to Elsa like that,

"Hey, during the day, we talked about 'commoners' and 'electorates', but is conflict terrible?

"That's not true. There are many commoners in our country. Only some nobles are voters."

According to Elsa's description, some noblemen with magic engineers (Magi engineers) = magicians (Magi craftsmen) are trying to monopolize technology.

"I just want to immerse myself in a sense of superiority"

and truncate Elsa.

"But Jin, you don't like it."

"Oh. You can make whatever you want, but I'm glad people are happy after all. That's when I thought it was worth it."

"Brother Rai said something similar."

And Elsa cut off her words, and leaned down, and said something. And she was with her, but she lifted up her face like she had made up her mind,

"Brother Rai said not to say,"

Yeah, put it forward.

"I want Jin to come to the Empire of Shouro. And I want you to make a bunch of things that you like, things that are useful."

And just a little blush,

"... your face when you're making it, I like it"

When I say that, I turn around,

"Good night."

That's what I left out and disappeared from the roof.

"Favorite things, useful things,"

Being alone, Jen muttered to himself. I don't see Reiko for some reason.

"I'm not going to be lonely, that means I'm going to settle down."

Jen is alone now. I don't belong in any country.

"Well, I was going to live in some country sooner or later"

I originally intended to look around the countries on this journey and draw conclusions.

"Empire of Shouro, huh?"

Around that time, Saeko disappeared.

"Sister, there was a man like this"

He had received reports from the Penglai Concealed Mobile Force (SP), also known as the Ninja Unit.

"You're loud every night and night. It would also be annoying to bother to inform your father, so please dispose of it with you."

"Yes, I understand"
