Jin looked around the again.

The small, wide canyon had been cleared, and there was a vegetable patch in a sunny area near the center of the canyon with fruit trees.

It is enclosed and there are capris (goats) kept inside.

The entire area is about the size of three soccer fields. It is larger than Jin had expected.

On the north side of the rock wall, there is a building that appears to be a research institute.

Buildings that look like private residences are scattered in various places.

（It's a bit like a hidden village.)

The place looks like a peaceful countryside.

It seems to be a reasonably comfortable place to live, Jin evaluated the base of the .

"Well, come this way."

"Ah, yes."

Jin, who had been gazing at the scenery, is roused to his senses by the voice of Rozoh Chiyoda, and follows the directions to a building that appears to be a laboratory.

<

It drove slowly and stopped in front of the institute, followed by Jin and the others.

A group of what appeared to be were standing in front of the institute, welcoming Jin and his group.

"Welcome, Jin-dono!

Mighty Kouno was the first to speak.

"No, should I call you 'MagiCraft Meister'?"

"Yes. ......"

Jin was absolutely stunned by the sudden revelation of his true identity.

"Oh, so that's what you are."

"What?"

"I was 90% sure you were, but for a minute, I wasn't sure, so I had to put up a false front."

"......"

"I apologize again and again for that."

Even Lozo Chioda apologized to me.

Jin had no intention of getting angry when his true identity was discovered.

"No, it's fine, but ...... when did you find out?"

Jin is ready to ask what went wrong.

"I'd like to know what went wrong... if your wife is Lady Elsa, or if the automaton she's carrying is Miss Reiko..."

"......"

"And when we were talking, I felt it in every word you said."

"...... I see. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to deceive you.

Jin also apologized for his attempt to disguise his identity.

"No, no, no, it's my pleasure, thank you for your concern. You are aware of the fact that we have split from the descendants of the <<2nd generation> in the past, right?"......

...... Yes, that's right.

You are here this time because you care for us?

Uh, ......."

At this point, one of the other members called out to him.

"Master, would it be better if you came inside?"

"Uh-huh, yes. ...... Jin-dono, everyone, please come in."

So we all headed inside the institute.

There, in the conference room, we will start all over again.

The laboratory is located on the first basement floor.

The institute is a two-story building with one basement floor, and the conference room is on the first floor.

Once everyone is seated, MS-081 distributes tea.

"Now, let me introduce myself again. I am Rouzou Chioda, the elder of the .

I am Jin Nido, the third generation of Magecraft Meister.

They then introduce their friends to each other.

On Jin's side are Elsa, Reiko, Goh, Rubina, Merce, Goose, and Saki (......).

On the Magi Seeker side were Rouzou Chioda, Maitai Kouno, Leo de Simo, Zinnia Ender, and Sean Denisque, among others.

Leo, Zinia, and Sean were younger in order, and Maitay seemed to be the youngest. However, Leo is about 30 years old, so all the younger brothers are young.

Zinnia was the only female engineer in the group.

"First of all, I would like to greet the of this generation.

LOUZOU CHIYODA stood up and bowed reverently to Jin.

Jin also stood up and bowed.

"Now, let me begin by explaining who we are. As you may know, we began as a ," he said.

"............"

Jin listens in silence.

"It is said that they fled to this remote area because of the rise of the <> and its influence on magical technology."

"......"

"And so, over the years, unfortunately, the second generation of magical engineers, the "Magecraft Meister" and those who were related to him, have disappeared.

"......"

"We have taken up residence here and call it home."

He also spoke about the village of Quent.

When the first of them settled here, the village of Kuento began to be established.

They were helping out in the shadows and in the sun.

They hope to protect this village like that the second generation helped.

"Our motto is

He also said that because of this, some of his comrades had parted ways with him 10 years ago.

"Wasn't that <><><>?"

At this point Jin opened his mouth.

"How did you know that name?　I do not know ......<>, but Tashima and Tomoshide are my disciples. No, it was ......."

"Oh, you are right. Actually, it was ......."

Here, Jin gives a brief account of the events in the town of Hulek.

"Oh, my God, that's not possible!

As expected, Rouzou could not help but be surprised when he heard this story.

"Tomoshide was an expert in magic brains and Tashima was an expert ...... in making golems. Why would they be such ...... experts?"

Jin explained to Rouzou, who frowned, "It seems that Rinou is an expert at making golems.

"It seems that a man named Rinoura was behind it. He seems to have infused the ...... magic brain with some nonsense."

"Ummm ......."

"But now, they ...... are all in , except for Rinoura, who is supposedly in charge of giving technical guidance."

"I guess you could say that's ...... a good thing."

Rouzou Chioda was relieved to hear that his former apprentices were now living peacefully.

"I think we can say that it was good for them ...... Tomoshide-dono and Tashima-dono," he said.

"Yes, I suppose so."

Luzo Chioda looked at him for a moment.

Jin imagined that he was probably thinking of his former disciples who had now gone the wrong way, and stared at him silently.
