Magi Craft Meister

005 mother

Salted large fish was the main dish for dinner that day.

"Wow, big fish"

Adriana is also the first fish to see.

"This is a fish called Leteola."

Byse, mother of the Krulls, taught me.

"You get fat and greasy in the summer. And it's delicious when you shake the oil and salt and cook it."

It looks like a village by the sea and is a sumptuous dish.

"Ah, delicious"

Take a bite. Adriana liked the taste.

"... this salt is delicious too. Is that it? Not just salt?

As Adriana shrugged like a solitaire, Marul told me with a smile.

"Ado's tongue is definite. You know, this salt has a mixture of vanilla-crushed powder."

"Oh, yeah!

It is a precious salt inland, but a common condiment in seaside villages like here.

"Hmm? Salt?

(sea...... sea water...... maybe!

Adriana came up with something and almost took a seat in jeopardy, but it seemed she managed to restrain herself.

(Danger. Danger. Anyway, tomorrow, right?)

The village chief family didn't know such Adriana had an inner grip on her, and she continued to have a soothing dinner.

(Family, huh?... hey, I envy you...)

I wouldn't even have noticed that in her heart, but Krull has turned a smile.

"Hey, Ado, if Ado had the fork he was saying, would it make this Reteola easier to eat, too?

"... yeah, I think it will"

The reaction was delayed only for a moment, but Krull did not care, but rather ate into the contents of the answer.

"Really? Looking forward to it!

"This, Krull, be a little quieter when you eat."

"That's right. Have a nice day."

Because it was too shabby, it was a cruel to be embarrassed by my mother, Bisse, and my sister, Marul.

After dinner, under the still thin bright sky, the village chief's house begins to prepare for a bath.

Around here, there was a small but bath for each household, as if digging a well would yield luxurious water.

Adriana thought it would be a popular factor for the bath to be humid all year round because it is near the sea and her body sticks with the sea breeze, just looking at the preparation.

It's subtly salty when I lick some water. Close to the sea, so salt must be blending in the groundwater.

Will it be a bath close to salt fountain......?

Adriana offered to help here when she saw Meut, the village chief and the family's big black pillar, start preparing firewood.

"Oh, if you want to warm the water, I will"

"Huh?"

"'Heating'"

Engineering magic 'Heating'. It is the magic that warms the object.

This caused the hot water to get to the right temperature in one minute.

"Ado, wow!

Krull jumps a little and feels excited.

"Thanks, Ado. That's amazing."

Mallu is seemingly calm, but his face is slightly reddish.

"Thanks, Ado. A magician is amazing."

Bise thanked him in a quiet tone.

"Thank you, Mr. Addo."

Finally, Meut thanked him.

"No, I'm looking after you."

Adriana replied with a little light.

"Oh, nice hot water"

Again, soaking in hot water is comfortable.

Though efforts were made to keep the body surface clean with engineering magic such as "Purification (Cleanup)," soaking it in hot water in this way also removes a lot of tiredness and relaxes it mentally.

"Thank you"

Adriana thanked me for letting me use the bath the most because of the customer.

"It's okay. You're the one who warmed up the hot water."

That's what Vice said and chuckled fluently.

While the Murakami family was taking a substitute bath, Adriana ordered F0002 to go to the ship to pick up a set of what she thought was needed to make the magic equipment, such as the magic crystal (Magi crystal) and the magic guidance connection board (link board).

"It's gonna be tomorrow."

So alone Adriana looked up at the night sky, when the stars began to blink.

That night, I had a lot of conversations with the village chiefs.

"Well, Ado's father was a great teacher."

"You were teaching in the King's Capital. So Ado can do a lot of things, too."

Even when it comes to the family, it is a conversation between women alone, without the village chief.

"... but you're dead. Ado, you must miss me, right?

To the gentle voice of Bise, Adriana wondered in a corner of her head if she was like this with her mother.

So without knowing, my gaze turns to Bise.

Forced to divert such a gaze and reply.

"Yes, no... I'm used to it"

Half is true and half is a lie.

I accepted to be alone, but I still miss what I miss, and that's not how I get used to it.

But Adriana doesn't like to show people her weaknesses.

Forced to make a smile,

"... I went on a journey by myself to look for magical engineering possibilities that my father wanted."

I said.

"Heh, wow!

"Ado, don't be ridiculous"

However, it was Adriana herself who was most surprised by its content.

"Look for Magic Engineering Potential".

I didn't travel with that in mind. But when I think about it, it comes oddly tight.

My father's thoughts, what my father told me, the thoughts of someone who was my father's 'favorite'.

What Adriana should do to inherit it it.

Now that magic engineering has seen its completion, it has become clear that the search for new possibilities is the only thing that should be done.

"Good luck."

"... Yes"

Bise's gentle voice struck Adriana in the chest.

"Is that it? Ado, are you crying?

"... Huh?

When I noticed, a drop of tears was spilling out of Adriana's eyes.

Adriana doesn't know her mother.

The women of my father Shuki's disciples adored me, but that's still not like my mother's.

Growing up unaware of her mother's affection, Adriana felt a 'mother' in Bise's voice that she had never met.

"Uh, aha, no, this"

I wiped it with the back of my hand, but new tears flood me again.

"... that's crazy..."

At that time, there was something wrapped around Adriana's body, fluttering.

"You can cry when you're sad."

Bise's gentle voice decimated Adriana's tear glands.

"Ugh, uhh..."

And Bayse, who slaughtered her voice and softly held Adriana to her tears, stroked her back gently.

That night, Adriana slept in the room with Bise.
