Magi Craft Meister

21-42 Then......

Deus Ex Machina and Ray were nowhere to be seen when Fritz and the others managed to collect the escaped horses.

"Makina... who the hell are you"

It is not time for the line to finally regain its calm at 2pm, when it can travel a lot anymore.

But it is also true that no one wants to stay long in this place, where rock wolves (Rockwolves) and tooth pigs (Servelboa) have surrendered and been attacked by monsters.

"We're gonna move a little!

Bernardo, captain of the Klein Kingdom Investigation Team, and Bruno, captain of the Egerea Kingdom Investigation Team, were so grumpy that Fritz was forced to lead the line.

The most damaged 'Goliath 4' seems to only manage to walk, so I decided to let him walk as far as possible.

Tent and rest about ten kilometers traveled that day.

No one and he were tired, but Fritz took the initiative and bought the night police out.

"... Dear Fritz, aren't you tired?

A short while before midnight, which was almost time for a change, came Cynthia, the replacement personnel.

"... as much as this, nothing"

"But you look pretty pale."

"... do you? Probably because it's dark."

"It's a little early, but we'll take turns. Rest."

"... sorry. Let me do that."

When Fritz nodded to Cynthia's worrying remarks, he returned to his tent.

Staring at her back, Cynthia sighed small.

"Brother Jin, thank you"

Elsa, who was staring at the Magic Projection Window (Magic Screen) in the Penglai Command Room, said to whine after exhaling with relief.

I was looking at where my real brother Fritz was in danger, where Deus Ex Machina saved him.

"Yeah, I'm glad you made it"

Jen nodded.

"Your husband (My Lord), Makina and Ray, you are back."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work"

Machina and Ray showed up in the command room.

You manipulated Makina this time. [M] And Ray said.

"Father, I'm home now."

Reiko was inside and manipulated.

"Welcome home. How'd it go, Ray?

"Yes... I'm hard to say... it's not very good"

"Well, I knew it..."

The identity of 'Ray' is Reiko. He is wearing an "extended" caged hand (gauntlet) on both arms and an "extended (secret) shoe (boot)" on both legs, wearing a full-face helmet and wearing armor.

This is how I misled my physique by about 20 centimeters, but this means that it would be weirder if it was easy to move.

"But you can act without knowing who you are, so bear with me. Next time, I'll make it a little bit more."

"Yes, I hope so"

Everything Jen prepared in time. We learned about the investigation team's crisis, created it all in roughly five minutes, and sent Makina and Ray to the scene in a 'transporter'.

And I managed to make it to the Fritz crisis.

Return is a procedure that sends Pelican 1 with a transfer gate (warp gate) a short distance away and returns to Penglai Island.

"Old man, Ann, so, what do you know about that monster?

"Yes. Relics from the Magic Wars...... I'm pretty sure it's a failure"

"Is it like a subspecies of 'Giggers'"

Ann agrees with Jen's whining.

"I think so, too. Like" Giggers, "I tried to make it but it was too user-friendly, it's a shame to dispose of it, so I thought I'd keep it until I could find a use for it."

After considering the various possibilities, it is that we have come to that conclusion.

I guess what looked like stone was a special 'magic nucleus (core)'.

Jen nodded that it seemed likely.

But you've lost all trace.

"Yes, in that case I didn't know what else to do."

It appears to be an engineering magic "heating (heat)", but in fact it opposes "supercooling (zero absorbent)", "superheating (overheating)." It is a magic that raises the temperature of an object until the atom is in a plasma state.

For this reason, no matter what kind of substance the subject may be, it becomes harmless without decay.

"... it is possible that such relics are still sleeping in the old kingdom of Leonard"

Ann added.

"Right. Old man, there's still something left to investigate about this ruin."

'Okay. Based on this incident, we will also investigate known sites.'

Using the fifth row (Quinta), the old gentleman is in the process of investigating the ruins of the former Kingdom of Leonard, but the ruins known to the inhabitants were left behind, giving priority to the search for the unknown ruins.

Because of this, things like this have happened, and Old Man wants to change his ways.

"I'll take care of it"

Jen nodded. Furthermore, Anne speaks of advice.

"Besides that, I think you should also pay attention to the trends in the Kingdom of Celluloa. There must be plenty of artifacts in that country, so there's no guarantee that we'll be studying them and not having an accident."

"Okay. Old man, tell Row 5 (Quinta) in the Kingdom of Celluloa. You can increase the number if you need to."

"Okay."

And Jen asked what she cared about.

"Oh, and what's going on with Gloria?

'Yes. After the first aid, we don't track (trace) after we've transported it to the nearest town with a hot air balloon. Do you want to find out?

"Right... don't panic if it's not urgent. There doesn't seem to be anything else in my life, does there?

I also get an optimistic answer about that.

'Yes, it's like a burn caused by corrosive liquid, so it's supposedly cured by advanced healing magic'

"Then just know where you are so you can visit at any time"

"I'll take it back that way."

The investigative team, who spent the night, will break up with the North and the South as planned.

The Klein Kingdom Investigation Team goes south, that is to the Kingdom of Egerea.

The Egerea Kingdom Investigation Team went north, that is, to the Klein Kingdom.

And they shall go each unto the capital, and shall see to each king.

"Lord Fritz, thank you for your help. I hope to see you again someday."

"Thanks to you, the path to the Kingdom of Klein has been paved. Thank you."

"Be well. I'll see you."

There have been no major incidents since then, and the Egerea Kingdom Investigation Team is northbound.

And the Klein Kingdom Investigation Team also crossed the border two days later, on January 18th, to the village of Lyton through the York Jam mine.

"Is this the end of the role..."

Fritz whining alone.

The role of cooperating with the Klein Kingdom Investigation Team is also over, although it may not be safe.

"... Dear Fritz, thank you very much"

"Oh, Lord Cynthia. It must have been a tough expedition you're not used to."

"... yes, that's right, because I've only had an expedition of about a night. Unlike Deputy Gloria."

When Gloria's name came up, Fritz looked slightly down.

"Lord Gloria? Speaking of which, I have to return this sword."

Two short swords were raised on Fritz's hips, one of his own and the other of Gloria's sword.

"I wonder where Lord Gloria is being cured?

"... do you care?

Cynthia asked a little lonely.

"Yeah, I guess I still care"

"... Really..."

leaning Cynthia. I blamed her for that and Fritz asked in surprise.

"Hmm? What's wrong? You don't seem well."

Cynthia replies with a bitter smile.

"... you really don't know if you're comfortable or not."

"Huh?"

"No, it's nothing. I'm the deputy captain, but I think he was probably transported to the town of Grouli. And I think you went from there to Asunt, the capital."

"Hmm, well. I have to go to the King's Capital. Then you will return your sword, and you will be able to visit."

"... then you can stay with us for a while now"

Cynthia seemed somewhat happy when she uttered the word.

"Oh, right. I'm not an 'investigation team' anymore, but please send my regards to Asunt"

"Welcome."

Just a little bit more, it looks like the two-state mixed forces are going to make strides together.

The season is a cold January. I haven't heard any spring footsteps yet.
