<2>After the death of the second Magecraft Meister, Jin Nido.

In the year 3748 of the continental calendar, Golbert Malkitas split the Nostalgia into two and founded the <.

And he started to target the best magical engineers and ...... various things related to Horai Island.

In the year 3763 of the continental calendar, Golbert Markitas completed the Magi Emulator.

Using it, he reproduced the magic pattern of Jin and captured Melda and Lili of the 5th Quinta. He analyzed and learned the position of Horai Island.

In the year 3764 of the continental calendar, Malchitas made a move to take possession of Horai Island. Sensing the approaching danger, the old man with the magical brain of Horai Island first evacuated Akitsu to the underground of the Great Sahara Desert.

This was to prevent him from being captured and used by Markitas.

In the year 3765 of the continental calendar, Laojun prepared a capsule for the evacuation of Reiko. He also evacuated the descendants of the Jin family to the island of Onogoro.

And Horai Island is sealed. .......

* * * *

However, there was a faction that did not dare to evacuate to Onogoro Island.

They refused to be sheltered, claiming that they would resist the interference of Malchitas by their own power.

The old lord tried to protect them as well, but this was no longer possible since he had sealed off the island of Horai.

They went their own way .......

The name of their < has not been handed down.

The < moved to the eastern part of the Kingdom of Selroa with five of their companions and family members.

The eastern edge of the mountainous region known as the <>.

A little north of the easternmost village <>.

The valley is open to the southwest, with a small stream that is not depicted on the small-scale maps (which show a wide area).

They settled in a place with good access to water and with the mountains to the north to shelter them from the cold winds.

The construction of the house was done by the golem who accompanied them. Since they were golems that were close to the specifications of Horai Island, there were no problems at all.

They also deployed a <> to avoid detection by Malchitas.

We were self-sufficient in food. This was also done by the golem.

However, we had to go shopping for seasonings and some other necessities.

Such < was left to Golem, whose specs were reduced.

The specs were deliberately lowered so as not to be conspicuous.

The specs that are based on (but not the same as) the specifications of Horai Island would be too conspicuous in such a remote area.

Fortunately, we have plenty of money, so we are able to purchase some expensive items without any problem because we are in the remote area.

However, if they are used, they will eventually run out, and to avoid this, the five of them have decided to sell their skills, albeit in small quantities.

"We should make a small contribution to the village of Quent, just as Master Jin did in the village of Kaina.

"That's a good idea."

"That's a good idea." "I agree."

The five of them agreed and began to help the village of Quent a little with their magical engineering.

The rough mountain roads were cleared and paved with crushed stone.

Rocks in cliff-prone areas were fixed using < and .

<

They repaired the houses and made them able to withstand the heavy winds.

"Oh, thank you!

The villagers are grateful.

In return, they asked them not to tell others about them.

The promise was kept for more than a hundred years.

They called themselves .

In the year 3900 of the continental calendar.

There was one leader of the <>, three high disciples, and seven ordinary disciples.

Unfortunately, the bloodline of the current leader no longer includes any descendants from the <.

It has long since ceased to exist.

Nevertheless, the ideas of the first generation have been passed down from generation to generation.

These are the two.

The philosophy expressed in simple words, without using difficult words, was accepted by the villagers of the village of Quent, and many of his disciples came from the village.

Well, there have been only five so far, but that is about all.

The rest of the disciples are those who came all the way from the village because they heard the rumors.

have continued their activities under the motto of "Never reject those who come, never chase those who go.

The year 3902 of the continental calendar.

<

Rumors of the collapse of the had reached this remote region.

"It seems the world has returned to normal, Master."

"Yes."

One of the disciples spoke to their leader, Rouzo Chioda.

"I have heard that the third generation of magical engineers, the MagiCraft Meisters, have taken care of the ."

I'm impressed.

Yes, sir.

Another disciple also asked Rouzou Chioda.

"Master, are we allowed to stay here?

"What do you mean?"

"Yes. I was wondering if it is not necessary to tell the Magecraft Meister of ...... the technology we have inherited and improved.

But at this question, the leader, Rouzo Chioda, shook his head.

"Hmmm. I don't think ...... is necessary."

"Is that so?"

"It has been a long time since we parted company with the descendants of the second generation. We are no longer related. We are us.

I understand.

But...

What's wrong?

I'm a little concerned about some comrades I lost 10 years ago.

"They or ......"

<

Ten years ago,...... in the year 3892 of the continental calendar, before Jin reappeared in our time. Before Jin reappeared in our time.

Two of his younger brothers had opposed the policies of Rouzou and Chioda, and had left.

<

The two were considered to be the next leaders of the Magi Seekers, so it was not a small blow to them.

I wonder where he is now.

Don't say it.

...... yes?

Luzo looked up at the blue sky that stretched on forever, and wondered if the two who had left were looking up at the same sky somewhere else.
