"Jin-kun!"

Erza cried out for the first time.

Finally Jin looked up.

"Erza, Reinhard, I'm sorry for bothering you. Valentino, let's finish this."

"Are you ready for this?"

Valentino is proud of his victory, while Jin is just standing there, looking natural. Reiko does nothing.

"All right, <>, twist his neck."

Valentino orders ruthlessly.

"No!"

Reinhardt tries to stop <>, but the flesh-and-blood man is no match for him and is swept away.

I won't let you get hurt, Jin-kun!"

Erza stood to defend Jin, but Jin gently pushed her shoulder away,

"Thank you, Erza. Thank you, Reinhard. But I'll take care of this."

With that, he takes a step forward,

"Come."

and invited Albus to join him.

"Die!"

Valentino shouted, and at the same time <> attacked.

"Kyaaa!"

Elsa closes her eyes. Reinhardt tried to look away, but then his eyes widened at the sight that followed.

"Barrier!"

"What the ......?"

's arms were trying to grab Jin's head, but they remained about 50 centimeters away, unable to touch him.

"What!　You!　What did you do!"

Jin's voice was indifferent,

"It's just a physical barrier."

But Valentino smirked,

"Hmmm, I heard they used some kind of magic tool to protect it, but how long do you think it will last?　 can move for two or three days without refueling!"

Jin heard this and laughed,

"What? You don't have an ether converter after all?

"What?"

Jin then turns to Reiko.

Reiko, when I disable this thing, don't let Valentino escape!

"What are you talking about, ......?"

Valentino, who did not understand Jin's attitude and words, was confused.

He did not care, but said the application of the Magi language he had just analyzed.

"Erase."

A moment later, <> stops moving.

"Write-in".

<> begins to move again. However, the destination is not Jin, but Valentino.

"What, what's going on?　<

No matter how much Valentino orders him to stop, <> doesn't stop and finally catches Valentino.

Valentino's arms are shattered when he is caught by .

Albus also stomped on Valentino's right foot.

"Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Oh, no!

Jin panicked,

"Standstill!"

If he had not said the key word "standstill," his arm might have been ripped off.

Still, Valentino was foaming and blacking out from the pain of having his arms and right leg shattered.

"I'm a little tired.

Jin breathed heavily,

"Erza, I'm sorry, but could you cast a simple healing spell on him?

He asked. But Erza said,

"Why?　She tried to kill Jin-kun. So I can't complain even if Jin-kun kills me.

But Hitoshi said,

"Yeah, it's just my opinion. Besides, I don't want him to die just because of this. I want him to pay for his crime."

I want him to pay for his crime. Erza tilted her head,

"Okay. I'll heal her and hurt her again. If you do it again, you'll be punished."

She said something terrible like that.

Jin heard this and thought, "Ah, she is from this world after all,

"Erza, a pretty girl like you shouldn't talk like that.

When I quieted her down with these words, I felt her face turn red for a moment,.......

"...... okay. I'll give you some painkillers for now. Painkiller (schmelzmittel)."

For the time being, she felt no more pain, but her arm was twisted in a strange way.

Reiko, put a brace on his arm and tie him up.

At last, it was her turn, and Reiko was eagerly carrying out the instructions.

Valentino moaned in pain despite the painkillers (Schmelzmittel), but she was too overzealous and forcefully moved his broken arm.

He even gagged him, and Valentino's captivity was complete.

"Now, what are we going to do with him?"

Reinhardt was in charge.

"Since he's a wanted interstate fugitive, I think we should escort him back to the Kingdom of Elias.

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

However, since the group could not afford to do so, we decided to leave the matter to the appropriate authorities in the Kingdom of Egelea for the time being, which was the next best thing.

"Ah, one of the wagons is broken up..."

The golem had destroyed the wagons carrying food and water.

Of the scattered food, the ones that were safe were recovered. Most of the water was ruined.

"I was going to go to Phantol today, but I don't think I will be able to make it. Today we will go to the village of Rufaart, which is just a short distance from here, to get some water.

The black knight (Schwarzritter) cannot fix the problem here, so the captured carries him to the village of Rufaart.

There was room in the wagon that the Black Knight (Schwarzritter) was riding in, so we loaded the food that was still intact into that wagon.

That's how it was.

Finally, we were about to discuss what to do about the rocks that blocked the road,

"Oh, it's too much trouble. Reiko, smash it!"

Jin ordered somewhat bluntly,

"Yes, father!"

Reiko, who was not able to play an active role this time, walked joyfully to the rock and hit it silently.

The rock, which was about three meters across, shattered. Needless to say, the faces of everyone except Jin, who was watching the scene, scrunched up.

Reiko grabbed a piece of the shattered rock and began to throw it over the cliff as if she were throwing a piece of paper.

While Reiko was cleaning up the broken pieces of rock, Reinhardt turned to Jin,

"Now, Jin, tell me more about that magic."

Then Erza came up to him. It's not something that should be kept a secret, but rather something that needs to be spread around so that we can take countermeasures against it in the future,

"Okay. First of all, that used a kind of engineering magic, overwriting.

He explains that the purpose is to overwrite the control core so that the original command is not executed correctly.

And furthermore, the results of the analysis of the method are the and .

"But, but how is it possible to do that without touching the Magi Crystal?

No wonder Reinhardt was surprised. It was common knowledge that writing a magic formula on a magecrystal was so precise that it could only be done by touching, or in other words, holding the crystal in one's hand.

"Yeah, that's strange. Let's check it out, shall we?"

In cooperation with Reinhardt, I decided to check <>. Then..,

"Hey, Jin!　Here it is!"

Reinhardt found a light blue gemstone. No, it was a magi crystal.

"This is Elradorite!"

It was a gemstone that amplifies magical power. It is thought that he used this characteristic to create an intensity of magical power that would normally be impossible, and overwrote it without contact.

"I see, so this is how it's used."

The two were convinced. But Reinhardt said,

"I wonder how Jin was able to do a trick that is only possible with amplification.

"It wasn't easy," Reinhardt said.

"It wasn't easy. We had to analyze the method and accumulate a lot of magical power.

I explain what happened when Jin was muttering something.

I told him that the barrier provided by the bracelets allowed us to buy time without worry,

"But I was worried."

Erza, who had come nearby before I knew it, said so, and Jin apologized to her.

"So, I figured out how to do it, so I did it backwards to <>. First, I erased the magic formula by erasing it, and then I wrote in the command to catch Valentino by writing in the magic formula.

He concluded by saying that the distance between them prevented him from writing a detailed formula, and as a result he had to break the bones.

"Well, as for the bones, I guess I got what I deserved."

Reinhardt says, implicitly telling Jin not to worry about it.

"Father, the rocks have been cleared."

Reiko had just finished clearing the rocks and the road was passable,

"All right, let's go."

We are now in the Kingdom of Egelea.

The group set out for the village of Rufaat.

The sky was covered with thin clouds, indicating that spring was near.
