Berrich Becker visited another agency.

A mature man ...... who seemed to be the manager ...... came out and answered him.

"Oh, you know him?"

"Yes, well..."

What is this all about?

What?

One of our employees is missing!

What?

He went out the back of the store with someone you said, and he never came back.

"......"

"I've filed a missing persons report. Please let me know if you know anything!"

Berlich realized that the shopkeeper had apparently disappeared as well.

"No, I'm sorry, but I don't know anything either. I was supposed to arrive in town today and meet up with the girls.

Berlich Becker also explained that he did not know what was going on.

"Was there anyone else there at the time?　Any witnesses?"

"I asked one of the other clerks, and he said there was a carrier who came to deliver the goods.

"Wasn't that person suspicious?"

"He's the one who always comes to our store. ......"

"That's not a reason to rule him out as a suspect."

Being an outsider, Berlich was able to pull the strings without preconceptions.

"I don't know," he said.

"At least you know something."

The manager finally nodded in agreement.

"I understand. The shipping company is in the town of Fleck."

"That's the next town over. I'll go there.

I'll go with you.

It would be very helpful for Berlich, who did not know the area well, if the manager was with him.

So he hurried to get ready and together they started walking to the town of Fleck.

The manager asked, "Is there a reason why you are walking?

The manager asked Berlich,

Berlich answered, "Because a horse-drawn carriage is conspicuous.

Berlich replied.

"I see."

Besides, it takes about an hour on foot, doesn't it?

"Yes, that's true."

Thus, Berlich Becker, his golem, and the agency manager and one other person walk toward the town of Hulek.

>.

"Oh, you did it!"

In exactly five minutes, the old man had finished using the sub-free ether wave.

"Well, that's good to know."

<

A magic brain?

"How is the performance of this magic brain?"

"I see... I see..."

Incomplete?　It's running, but it's incomplete......, so the formation of the <> is ambiguous?"

<

If you start up with less than the minimum necessary information, it will be difficult to form the <> as expected.

It is like assembling a plastic model without enough parts.

And in most cases, even if you try to install the missing parts later, you cannot assemble them because the parts that have already been made are in the way.

>.

"Hmmm, that just makes it more and more distorted, doesn't it?"

<>

In the previous plastic model example, imagine a situation where you have ...... after attaching optional parts one after another.

And this includes all the options that are never used at the same time, and even those of different versions.

Even in the case of car modification, if you install all the optional parts for rally, drag racing, touring car racing, public roads, etc., the performance will not be improved.

"......<> would not work either."

<<

"I guess so."

Jin let out a small sigh.

How could this have happened with the technology to create an advanced magic brain?

"No, that can't be helped."

>

Jin thought that as the < Magecraft Meister, he would have to settle this case ......, and denied it.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Reiko asked Jin, who had been thinking about it for a while.

"No, I'm just ......".

Reiko looked at Jin, who seemed to be wondering what to do, and said what she thought.

"Your father can do as he thinks best. I will do my best to support him.

"Ah, yes, thank you, Reiko."

Reiko's words relaxed Jin's shoulders a little.

The old man also said to Jin, "I'll do my best to support you,

, Reiko-san.

She said, "That's great, isn't it?

"That's great, old man."

<

"We are not omnipotent either. We don't think that we can know everything about this world and manage it properly, and in fact, we can't."

The old man admitted it.

"Perhaps because we were too much involved 400 years ago, the level of magic technology dropped very quickly when the <> interfered with it.

The level of magical technology that had been raised to a level close to the level before Jin's appearance has dropped.

"I think that's because the technology was not really rooted in the community."

"I see."

"So this time, ......<, I was going to stay out of the way and let the people living in the <> take care of things.... ..."

At this point Jin breaks off and takes a breath before continuing again.

"It's not going so well. I can't just do nothing and help out in a friend's ...... crisis."

"Well, thank you, My Lord."

Thus, Jin once again made up his mind to tackle this case head-on.
