Magi Craft Meister

It was the Minister of Industry, Delight Domus Hanks, who showed up on the balcony following Elsa.

"Why are you here?

Gu, wiped his face and Elsa heard.

"Yeah, my office was next to this balcony. I heard you rushing down the hallway, so I peeked, and it was you."

Normally, there's nothing like running down the hallway, and she thought something urgent had happened and peeked.

"... as long as I'm ashamed"

Elsa leans down and blushes. Though Delight looked a little strange to her like that, she spoke in a calm voice.

"It's cold here already in the evening. Maybe there's something complicated going on, but are you in my office for now?

Just a little calm, Elsa was sweet with the words and visited the office of Minister of Industry Delight. Edgar stands outside the door and is in charge of teaching Jen when he comes looking for him.

At the window there was a chic table set, and Delight recommended a chair to Elsa.

"You were just on a paragraph. Well, come on in."

"... Hi"

Elsa sits on a chair at the window. The balcony is right by the window. Elsa was ashamed to see if she was insane, but the crate got in the way and I also feel safe not seeing the balcony from here on out.

"Well, let's make some tea.... It's okay because it's not poisoned."

Trying to make Elsa laugh, who still looks a little hard, or Delight bringing up poison stories.

"... Look, these are my assistants."

"... ah"

The assistant to the Minister of Industry Delight was two golems, one with a stature similar to that of an adult male, about to brew tea now. It would be generic.

The other one is less than two meters of golem, for heavy work? That one was standing in the back of the room.

"Heavy work such as carrying luggage is the grain in the back, we ask this lecar for daily help"

"Really?"

When she saw it, Elsa watched a golem called Lecar, but noticed that the motion was sophisticated and a little impressed. It is a pretty good golem.

"Here you go."

What was served was a rose-scented herbal tea with a hint of acidity in the sweetness.

Take a sip, ho, and exhale Elsa. Delight drank the same tea and smiled.

"What do you say, have you settled down a bit?"

"... Yes, thank you, thank you"

"That's good. I owe you my life. I hope I can give you back a fraction of it."

Another sip of herbal tea and Delight opened her mouth again.

"... it seems like such an opportunity is rare, so may I talk to you for a moment?

"Uh, yes."

In a polite tone, Elsa also replied half reflexively.

"... this country is already melting..."

Ugh, an unusual, heavy tone Delight.

"... the king was ill, the nobles gave priority to their interests, and even to the weather"

……

"You belong to the Empire of Shouro. I would like to hear your opinion without abomination. … Do you think there is a future in this country?

It was a terribly heavy question for Elsa.

But anyway, two years ago, after traveling with Reinhardt to see the countries and gaining a lot more experience with Jen, I can answer.

"Yes, I think so."

Apparently it was an unexpected word, and for a moment Delight's eyes seemed to open to surprise. but soon to calm down.

"Well, what makes you think that?

Elsa answered, choosing the words.

"A country is a person. The ruling class of the Klein kingdom may have, in part, a vain person. But some people try to rebuild their country. And the inhabitants live hard. As yet, this country will not die. If you don't die, I think,"

……

…………

Delight was listening to Elsa's words with her eyes closed.

Elsa's head went cold to unexpected questions and conversations. Delight seems to think the future of this country is dark.

In her brain like that, different events so far were remembered and connected. Slightly incomplete, but mystery solving puzzles come together.

Position of industrial minister, weak poison, king's disease, food problem, successor….

There are still a few pieces missing and I don't see the whole picture.

Meanwhile, Elsa looked inside the room without any concern. Second, that gaze stops at the window.

What was left by the window was a qualitative vase. Flowers were kept alive in the vase. It is purple and has several flowers like elongated (kabu). However, the leaves were not attached.

"Aconita?"

Delight, having heard the word, opens his eyes. The eyes were running a little blood.

"Mr. Elsa, because you know these flowers?... Around here... No, I don't think there are any flowers in the Shawulo Empire either"

"... Yes. I know a little about medicines and poisonous plants."

Elsa spins her words out as she slowly returns her gaze from the vase.

"... the poison that Mr. Delight drank the other day is probably from this plant, the leaves"

……

"Mr. Delight, how come not a single leaf of this flower is attached?

I said an extra word about trying to derive an important piece.

As soon as I heard the word, Delight's shape changed.

"... well, you know that much"

"Huh?"

Jen was looking for Elsa, who jumped out.

Ask the knight who was in the hallway, he broke through the hallway and went towards the stairs.

Jen will also try to get to the stairs. Did you go up or down? Jen thought about it and decided that he couldn't take much time.

Though they have popped up, Marlon and Plum of the Covert Mobility Unit (SP) are guarding them while hiding themselves in a visibility (Invisible). Edgar is with us.

So find out where Elsa went right away via Old Man.

I didn't do that from the beginning because I didn't rely on Reiko and wanted to find her myself, but there were limits within this royal palace.

"Reiko, check with your old man where Elsa went."

"... ok"

With a slightly dissatisfied face, Reiko contacted you. The answer will be back soon.

"... looks like he's upstairs in the office of Minister of Industry Delight"

"Why are you here..."

That's when Princess Rieschen arrived.

"Jin, what do you say? I thought it would be hard to search around the royal castle by myself, and I came after you... have you found it yet?

"Reese.... no, not yet, but everything, they're in the room of the Minister of Industry Delight"

"Delight's? Right. Let's go."

Guided by the princess, Jen began to climb the stairs.

"... Speaking of which, I just remembered, Delight is also from the Kingdom of Cellular... I've heard he joined the Hanks family as a son-in-law most of the time. She died a few years ago and is now single."

Jen, who heard it, remembered the words leaked by Minister of Industry Fu and Delight, without context.

(Speaking of which, you said Elena was an automatic doll (Automata)... something you've seen before?

I don't think Elena speaks from herself. And I don't think the Minister of Industry Delight is good enough to tell she's an automatic doll (Automata).

If so, you will have seen about Elena in the past. Jen had a bad feeling.

"The second floor is not the floor I've been on, and the third floor is the office of the ministers."

At that time, Reiko pinched her mouth on the conversation between the two of them.

Father, Mr. Elsa is in danger.

"You are excellent. Very good. I wanted to convince you to come with me if you could."

"Yes, what the hell, what?

The risen Delight stands in front of the door and turns off Elsa's exit.

"You know that, don't you? That that poisonous noise was a madness?

"... people don't die from Aconita poison, I know that"

"Yes, if everyone on that spot falls poisoned, your credibility falls to the ground, too. Then the king won't be long either. That's what I thought. I didn't know you even knew about Aconita."

"That poisoned tea caddy, you brought it, you mean?

"... smart thing. If I made you a souvenir, I'd make it up to you for not being able to give instructions."

"What, instructions?

I had a bad feeling Elsa got up from the chair. Edgar is outside the door.

"This country is no longer long. Just like the neighboring kingdom of Franz. Then you should be absorbed by the Kingdom of Cellulosia and let it govern you."

Delight, whose tone changed dramatically, had eyes like she was pregnant with madness.

"... that's different, I think. The government of the Kingdom of Celluloa, once it occupies the Kingdom of Klein, will treat it lower than their own, should"

Elsa, who has seen many different countries. Before this, etc., I met my brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of Celluloa directly and saw them terribly. Stearena and Vivian have also told us the story.

Whatever you think, I didn't think there would be fair governance.

"... well, it doesn't matter what the common people are like. The crux is whether we... can get a better job than I do now.... Leker, don't let that girl get away with it."

Golem instructed by Delight, Lecar approaching. Elsa shielded the table aggressively.

"Hmm, for nothing. Why don't you be honest with me? I don't want to be ridiculous. He's a benefactor for detoxifying me, even though it's crazy."

"... do you think you can do this and get away with it, safely? If you make a loud noise, someone will rush you"

"Hehe, is that what you want to buy time for?... grain!

The golem that stood in the back with that one voice also began to move.

"There's the same golem in the hallway as this guy. Can anyone come?"

"Still, there's no way you can get away"

"Huh, you think there's a drain?... What if I told you I had a hot air balloon too?

"... No way"

"The technology of the Kingdom of Celluloa is great. In exchange for 300 tons of wheat, he gave me one hot air balloon and five golems."

"... you shed important food and did?... you suck. Sell your country, I can't believe it."

"You're young, you don't seem to understand how attractive power is. I guess you don't know how great it is to be able to move your country the way you want it to be. Besides, my country... is the Kingdom of Celluloa."

"... I don't even think I want to know. Power stinks, just"

Elsa, who has also been stained with Jen's thoughts, slashed and abandoned Delight's lust for power.

"It stinks, huh? You're still a woman. I didn't know you couldn't understand the joy of dominating people."

"I'm a man, but I don't understand such joy."

"What!?

"Brother Jin!

Jen stood there, wondering if the door of the room had been opened from the outside.
