Magi Craft Meister

"Come on, Magic Guide Puppet Competition (Gonkenz), the third event! The stage moves to the water!

Here again, Tosmo Lake is shown due to the combination of the Magic Eye and Magic Projection Window (Magic Screen), as was once the case in the Golem Boat Competition at Potlock.

"I guess you can't beat me this time..."

Viscount Georg Randall shrugged in the audience. Elsa, sitting next to it, had replied, "I can't do that" in her heart, although she wouldn't put it in her mouth.

"Look at that..."

"That kid...... automatic doll (automata), are you going to swim in that outfit?

"Keep your shoes on..."

Two automatic dolls (Automata) and three golems lined up off the square and above the pier. Except for Reiko, nothing wears clothes.

Unfortunately, Marcus Grimbault's automatic doll (Automata) wore something like a swimsuit.

"Lord Jin, are you sure about that?

Carefully, Christoph the referee asks Jen, but Jen lets him snort silently.

"Now, let's start the third event, a long swim. A board bearing the names of each participant is placed under the coffin opposite Lake Tosmo. I'll have you come back with that. Of course, it's the quickest thing to win."

It is an easy to understand and illegitimate rule that although it cannot be seen from here, a landmark is assembled, from which a board with a name is brought.

"Now about position... three, two, one, start!

Five jumped in simultaneously. And swim at a fierce speed. Later the trajectory of white bubbles remains.

It is a round trip to Lake Tosmo, about ten kilometres long swim. If you swim at 20 km/h, you'll be back in half an hour.

but there was only one automatic doll (automata) swimming at an uninterrupted speed.

Of course it is Reiko. He said he was dressed and kept his shoes on, but his speed exceeded 50 kilometres per hour. Even then, Reiko doesn't mean it.

Reiko once fell into the sea when she searched for the missing Jen and transferred to various parts of the world.

At that time it was Reiko, who gave out more than 100 kilometres per hour, carrying baggage exceeding 20 kilometres. Now that he had improved to more than double his performance then, Reiko had only produced very little output.

"Whoa!?

"Hey, what, that..."

"Lies, you know..."

Through the Magic Screen, the audience watching Reiko swim was speechless.

The swimming method is basically dive swimming. It's unique to automatic dolls (automata) that don't have to breathe.

Swimming in imitation of human beings can create waves. This is called wave resistance, and it becomes a great resistance.

Four bodies other than Reiko are swimming on the water, and their kicking waves are huge, with white bubbles behind them as a trail.

However, Reiko sometimes faces the water in order to check direction, but otherwise she pushed like a submarine just below the surface of the water.

"What an automatic doll."

Elsa cannot forbid sympathy from her father, who inadvertently leaks such a grunt.

(... If you only know the narrow world, this stuff. I know the wider world thanks to Brother Rai and Brother Jin)

While he saw it, Reiko swimmed to the opposite bank and brought up a board with Jen's name on it from beneath him.

That's a big plate with 50 cm squares, looks light. But saying it's light doesn't sink into the water, so you can see that swimming with it can be quite resistant.

but Reiko used the board like a beat board and swam away.

Not diving, but still quite fast.

Around a quarter of the way home, Reiko slipped away from Marcus' automatic doll (Automata). And midway through Lake Tosmo, it's not like three golems.

"Laeko, that's awesome..."

Reinhardt was sighing watching Reiko swim. Because I felt it seemed faster than Lorelei, who specializes in underwater.

"Fast, fast! Zinn Nido's Automatic Doll (Automata), Raco! He's back in less than fifteen minutes!

Moderator's voice is close to screaming. I guess I can't believe what I saw.

And it made a big difference below second place, with Reiko goaling in.

It is, of course, a new record.

Marcus' automatic doll (Automata) is ten minutes late from Reiko. And ten more minutes later, three golems returned back and forth.

"What do you mean..."

Seeing his father with his head, Elsa felt just a little pity. So I accidentally uttered my feelings.

"Father, the world is wide. To Jin... Jin, you are such a great magic engineer (Magi Engineer). Admit it."

But Georg doesn't have ears to listen to.

"Marcus! Win next!

That's all I say, flutter in my seat. Elsa, who saw that,

(Father, was he like this, huh?... even compared to Brother Jin, Brother Rai... yeah, problems before that. as a person, something is missing)

Now that I've traveled, met a lot of people, and had a lot of experiences, I know, Elsa thought.

My own father is too lonely. I don't try to hear my surroundings. To say that it narrows the world down itself and abandons possibilities.

(But back in the day, it's like it wasn't, and the chi...)

I remember you being so nice to me. Elsa was a little uncomfortable with the fact that her father in her memory and her current figure did not match.

The fourth event had begun while Elsa and her father Georg had such an exchange.

He said that he would find the hammer thrown at the weight throw earlier.

When this was announced, some humans breathed.

Because the hammer that Reiko threw earlier did not know where it had flown.

"Commissioner! Didn't previous rules throw balls of different colors in the water and look for them?

Reinhardt throws questions close to protest.

"From this time on, as a handler, I threw the hammer..."

And the venue.

"But then..."

"It's all right, Reinhardt"

Jen stopped pushing Reinhardt to continue protesting.

"Reiko, can you go?

To Jen's inquiry, Reiko nodded silently and showed him.

"So, three, two, one... here we go!

The water on Lake Tosmo is clear, the majority of the lake's bottom is rock or gravel, and the mud area is only near the shoreline, so it can be said that it is relatively easy to find it.

but the hammer that Reiko threw could not even be confirmed flew far away, and considerable difficulty was expected to be found.

"Jin, is Leiko going to be okay?

"Oh, I believe you."

As the saying goes, all audiences cheered enthusiastically when Reiko came to find a hammer weighing 30 kilos of his own throw in 15 minutes from the start of the competition.

"(Elsa, are you okay?

Since Reiko had found the hammer she threw lightly, Jen was free while awaiting the return of the four remaining bodies.

I care about Elsa, but I can't even go there myself.

So Jen decided to ask Reinhardt to see what was going on.

"Okay, I'll take care of it. I'm curious, too."

So Reinhardt heads to the side where Elsa is.

On both sides of Elsa were soldiers of the automatic doll (Automata), and there were also Viscount's men in the front and back, so they could sit right next to each other, but not far enough away to reach their voices.

Elsa, I'm here.

If so, Elsa looks back.

The color of relief spread over Elsa's face when she found a gentle but reliable cousin there.

In doing so, the competition goes on.

Marcus' automatic doll (Automata) is half an hour after Reiko. And the three golems were disqualified after an hour because they couldn't find it.

So far, Jen and Reiko have come first with no complaints.

Well, if you think the three golems are busy, you can call them a one-horse hit by Jen and Marcus. But it showed Jen's side of the one-sided game.

"Now for the fifth event! It's a mock fight! Final event to be done with two kinds of swords and handless fighting! First, a simulated battle in the sword!

Viewed as the most exciting event, the venue cheered more than ever.

At this point, the three golems have abstained, making them a one-horse hit between Jen and Marcus, or Reiko and the combat golem.

Jen equipped Reiko with the "peach blossom" he had prepared beforehand. 64 Can I say a Japanese knife without a blade, made of light silver.

The opposing Marcus combat golem is a two-metre tall full-body armor-shaped swordsman golem, equipped with a tower shield on his left hand and a great sword on his right.

When the two stand facing each other, adults and children literally. No, maybe I should say giant and child.

"Reiko, don't do the flashy destruction."

Jen also instructed Reiko to do just that and returned to her seat.

"Are you ready, both of you?

Two bodies nodding silently.

"So... here we go!

The referee's hand was waved down and a mock battle was started.
