Magi Craft Meister

"I am Gigelmo Marchitas. Well done, Lord Intruder. Can you tell me your name?

Guigermo Marchitas spread his hands as if he had no will to fight and welcomed the two into the room.

It's Jin Nido.

"My name is Reiko"

Marchitas was surprised by this answer.

"Jin Nido! Are you in person!?... No, no, I know that body is an advanced puppet doll (Slavedor). Because so is this body of mine."

"I see."

When Jen thought about what to say next, he started talking to Marchitas.

"I've been wanting to see you for about 360 years."

And

"Are you also drawing the blood of long-lived species? Or is there another way?

And he asks.

"No, I'm probably just a normal person. Just by chance and luck, I'm here now, doing this."

Jen D returns a somewhat blurred answer.

"Hmm. As much as I envy that. I wasn't lucky enough to think."

Marchitas, who said so with a blush, mumbled. Now Jen asks a question.

"How could you do such a useless thing?

"Unbeneficial, what?

"The destruction of civilization will not advance humanity, will it? You can see that from The Magic Wars. History proves it."

I see. Is that your argument?

Marchitas does not make a fool of himself, but listens to Jen's words.

"-- What do you want humanity's 'evolution' for in the first place?

Jen's question. By 'evolution' we refer here to the liberation from matter.

That Marchitas answered with confidence, knowing too.

"For what? Isn't it decided? For the happiness of a species called mankind."

"Happiness, huh? So what is happiness?

Even as Jen, I had never had such a rational, or philosophical, question. It was originally a case left to you.

But he was telling this opponent he couldn't do it unless he was relative.

You're in a state of mind.

"So, what kind of condition did you meet? Happiness?

Jen goes on to ask more questions.

"In short, 'satisfied'."

Let us say that the words of Marchitus contained a piece of truth. Indeed, a state of contentment would be happy.

"Being 'satisfied', or 'satisfied'. Full of what, enough"

Marchitas' tongue continues.

"As long as there is flesh, reliance on matter is inevitable. And matter is not eternal."

……

Jen is listening in silence.

"I mean, you can't ask for eternal happiness for things in this world, things that matter, etc."

"So we should be spiritual beings," he said?

"Exactly."

But Jen denied the theory.

"You can't. It's no use."

"What!?

"You don't get satisfaction where you become a mental life form. Always thirst and look for things that attract interest. Besides, it never ends forever"

Jen was remembering the 'mental life form' we met in different spaces.

"Hey, what?!?

"It's a delusion to be happy if only the spirit exists"

"Why can you say that!

'Cause that's what I've come across before.

"WHAT!!!

Marchitas just seemed surprised by this statement as well.

"It was about 400 years ago. Contact with different spaces occurred, and this world was put at risk. I flew around trying to figure it out... and for a while, I got caught in a different space. That's when I met" The Mental Life Form. "

"What... and..."

Marchitas (the puppet doll (Slavedor)) held his head. Jen goes on to say more.

"They were an old race. From what I saw, there was nothing. There was nothing in the world."

……

Marchitas kept his head in his arms, but Jen continued the conversation.

"They were getting tired of 'being' and expressed interest in the skill of dealing with free magic (ether), or the phenomenon of 'magic'. And I thought you said you got a theme to study for the other 100,000 years or so in their time."

……

Marchitas still held his head.

"If you look at them, you'll see. 'Satisfied', if you can do that, it's a happy thing. But more than that, 'peace of mind', I think we should ask for it."

"Peace...... you say?

Finally, Marchitas raised his face.

"Oh. You said 'state of mind' yourself. 'Peace' if you mean in the state of mind. You should go for it."

"Peace..."

"That's right. You say you're a substance or a spirit, but in the end it seems like you're trapped in a substance."

"Me? You think you're trapped in matter?

"That's right. I thought you said" obsessed. "

Jen uttered words he heard from the dean during the institution.

"Obsession...... you say?

"That's right. As long as it's there, there's no peace."

……

Marchitas seems to have conceived, and the puppet doll (Slavedor) becomes silent.

Furthermore, Jen continued his words to fold.

"Humans are sometimes called 'accustomed'. Even if you are satisfied today, you may not be satisfied tomorrow. So I think it's more about peace than satisfaction."

……

"I don't know what you're talking about, but it's hard. I didn't even get to that point."

……

"But it's important to work hard. Don't you think?

……

But Marchitas was silent.

"Father, what are you going to do?

"Right..."

Somehow, Jen, I've been distracted.

I was hoping it would stay that way.

"... Jin Nido, you're a man to be afraid of"

"Huh?"

Soon, Gigelmo Marchitas (the puppet doll of (Slavedor)) was awake in his body.

"I almost got rounded up."

"No, I wasn't going to round it up."

But Guigermo Marchitas had no ears to listen to.

"Weird!"

The atmosphere has changed since then.

"A mental life form? Talk to Yotai..."

Jen felt disturbed through Jen D.

"Marchitas......? No, who are you?
