Magi Craft Meister

At 9 a.m., as promised the day before, Cesar, king of Celluloa, called Jix.

The location is a small meeting room in the second reception hotel.

Attending are First Military Ministry Secretary LaGade, First Technical Ministry Secretary Rattant, and SS Captain Kirk Att.

And Donald Currow, formerly of "Alpha," and Jen.

Elsa is indulgent in the separate room. That said, both Jen and Elsa are 'Doppel Dolls'.

"Well, Jix, as promised, why don't we take our time today"

Behind the front, King César, sitting at the top, opened his mouth.

"Ha.... my only wish is for you to adopt a golem of the same type as' Phantom ', all of which is to get rid of human soldiers"

"Hmm. I'm not too shy about hiring a high-performance golem, but I can't promise to lose a human soldier."

……

Jix was silently thinking of something, but he stood up and shouted.

"That's a word I don't think of as a brave and resolute Cellular King. I think my golem is necessary to swallow the surrounding countries and further expand them, how about that?

"What?"

"Besides, my golem, as you can see, allows me to master their martial arts in a short time. And you can increase that by as much as you want with the magic of 'Copy'!

"'Copy'?

Jen was also the first magic to hear.

"That's right. We can replicate the control core of the Golem."

Jen understood that it was a degraded version of Knowledge Transcription (Transinfo). There seems to be other constraints.

but don't pinch your mouth here.

"O king! Please use my power! And swallow the kingdom of Egerea!

Jix's words have become even more noisy.

But both Jen and Elsa have to be uncomfortable with the language.

"Wait, Jix. I'm not thinking about swallowing the kingdom of Egerea, am I?

But it seemed King César was the one who felt it the most.

"But Your Majesty! Until last year..."

King César raised his hand to block Jix, who had opened his mouth so far.

"Apparently, that was a mistake. Unlike my predecessor King Rishar, I do not have the idea of expanding the country, etc. It enriches the country, there is no shake in its will."

This word seemed like a blue-hearted thunderbolt to Jix.

"Oh, no..."

Where did the momentum go earlier, it collapsed into the navel and into the chair.

"Well, you came here to sell into this country with the intention of your predecessor, right?

It was because of the discomfort, and I finally found the answer to the question.

"... why do you want to fight so much?

King César asked Jix, who seemed weak.

"... revenge... is it?"

Jix answers blush.

"... me and... my brother's family... no, the village where I lived was engulfed in a conflict ten years ago and wiped out. It was a small village, near the border with the Kingdom of Egerea."

"I see."

King César nodded. Around ten years ago, he did remember many skirmishes near the border.

"My father was driven out as a soldier and out on the battlefield. And he didn't come home."

"Did you?"

"If you're going to war, you just have to do it with the golem without driving the humans out, that's what I thought."

That's it, Jix looked up kickingly.

"For that! Me and my brother! Investigate the ruins! Apprentice to a technician!... I dreamed of this day today...!

Reddening the face, Jix just biting.

"Sire! My golem can mass produce it! You can overwhelm the countries around you! So......!

Turning to him like that, King César told him in a quiet voice.

"... I sympathize with your past. But it doesn't go my way. I don't need to. I don't like fighting."

……

Jix eats his teeth off and squeezes his fists hard enough to bleed.

"Besides, the purpose does not justify the means. The way you did that sounded a little too violent."

King César took one piece of skin paper out of his nostalgia.

"I was a little concerned, so I looked into it.... Not long ago, in the kingdom of Egerea, a one-of-a-kind golem seemed to have broken the guard's golem or hurt the rogue"

"That's a story in the Kingdom of Egerea! That country is an enemy...!

Even though King César didn't say whose work it was, Jix admits it was his own.

"It's a friendly country now. Did I tell you? We don't have time for war. Because the world is about to change."

"How are we going to change!

Jix hasn't convinced me yet. The excitement didn't cool down either, his eyes were running blood.

"" Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz, "" You. "And he's not the only one. There is also an organization called the" Nostalgia Party ". Both are aimed at leading the world to peace and a better life"

"Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz! Ancient Party (Nostalgia)! What does that mean! Me and my brother got (...) technology is way ahead of us now!

King César grinned unfortunately and shook his head beside him.

"Can you understand... I'm sorry"

"What is Magic-Craft Jazz, a magic engineer? I drew yesterday, because that was a mock fight! You won't lose a battle for anything!

"Jix, the role of the golem isn't just combat. You saw the samurai golem he showed us on day one, right? They do their chores and cook well. It must be in the world to come."

But Jix is not convinced.

"No! No! No! The Golem's raison d 'être is combat, and its essence is the annihilation and destruction of the enemy!

King César sighed.

"... that's a parallel line no matter how far you go. Is it no use discussing this any more?"

Here Jen opened her mouth.

"Isn't it great technology to take the engineering magic of 'copying'? Wouldn't you like to use that to benefit people broadly?

But that seemed counterproductive.

"Shut up! What do you know! You don't know how I feel about destroying my family, my friends, my hometown!

……

"Blessed you for everything, you see the despair with which my previous bitterness has become a bubble of water!

Jix was quite excited and Jen (Doppel) also stopped pinching his mouth.

"... Your Majesty, how are you doing?

A little, no, I can't hide my confusion that it's quite different from my original plans, First Military Secretary LaGade and First Technical Secretary Rattant.

"Well, as far as my country is concerned, a high-performance golem wouldn't have been a rush to introduce it."

King César groaned unfortunately.

And when he heard it, Jix turned again to the king,

"Your Majesty! For once now, please order a mock battle against the golem of Magic Engineer Magicraft Jazz!

"Fight, do something"

"I'll show you how powerful the 'Phantom' is golem! That would change His Majesty's mind!

"Hmmm..."

And king César, who was troubled, saw and asked Jen.

"What do you think?" As far as I'm concerned, you can't force me. I leave it to your discretion. "

"Right......"

I didn't expect this to happen, but in Jen's ear I thought about it, I have your advice, old man, and I'll tell you a word based on it.

"... Lord Zix, the offer is of no benefit to me."

"... So what do you want?

"If I win, I want you to tell me what your golem was made with reference to"

I heard that request and for a moment only a surprise appeared on Jix's face, but it quickly disappeared.

"... fine. But if I win, I'll break down your golem and see what's in it, okay?

"Fine."

Thus Jen and Jix were to rematch.
