I tried to go further down the hierarchy, but .......

>.

It seemed that the lowest level, perhaps the most important facilities such as the magic brain, could not be seen.

"But isn't there a barrier there, too, from underground?

<

"I see. ......"

The magic barrier does not protect against physical attacks. That is, it is not affected by solid matter = it does not matter if there is solid matter, so it is possible to put it up even in the ground or in rocks. Theoretically.

I wonder if they were thinking of these situations?"

<>

Anyway, this is the end of the information gathering on <>.

* * * * * *

"Well then, Zion, Marikka, keep in touch.

See you soon.

The party was originally a welcome party for Zion and Marikka.

The members of the who had attended the party returned to their respective homes.

The remaining members are Jin, Erza, Zion, and Marikka.

Erza's real mother, Meene, usually helps Martha in the village of Kaina.

"Hey Jin, I wonder if that is safe.

Theon said a little anxiously.

"Danger ......? I think there is. I don't know what they're thinking in the first place. The last time we caught an automaton they might have sent, we didn't know anything about it."

"So ......"

"So we want to be prepared to deal with whatever they do to us. I feel bad that I called you here at ...... such a hectic time, though."

But Zion shook his head.

"No, I'm rather glad. It's just that I'm horrified to think that those people are in the same world as us."

I can't believe my ancestors made this," Zion retorted.

"I hope you can get rid of the threat as soon as possible. I'll help you.

The statement was a bit extreme.

"Remove it, huh? Whatever form it takes, we have to get rid of it.

Jin declared again.

"Yes, that's right.

Jin is thinking of taking measures so that the old man and the institute will not be < by any chance.

* * * * * *

Hey Jin, I have a favor to ask you.

What is it?

While taking a break in the cafeteria, Zion asked Jin for a favor.

"I want you to tell me about Jin's predecessor, ...... the first generation of Magecraft Meisters.

"Oh, I want to know too!"

Marikka raised her hand.

"Sure."

Jin thought for a moment about what to say.

Then Elsa brought him some tea.

"Thank you."

Jin quenched his thirst with the tea and began to speak.

"First of all, I have to talk about . What is <<> ......?"

Jin began by telling them about <> Shuki Tsetsi.

"He developed various magical tools and laid the foundation for engineering magic."

Zion and Maricka listened with bated breath.

"...... And in his old home, Shuki Tsetsi took care of his beloved Adriana Tsetsi."

Jin gulped down the warm tea.

"Yes! ...... that person was also from the same world as Jin. ...... fate, I wonder."

"......"

Zion admiringly, Marikka exclaiming.

"Fate, huh? I don't know. ...... and ......."

Jin takes a breath and continues.

"Soon, <> goes on a journey and is entrusted with a baby girl ....... The child is called . <> continues his journey and ......"

Now he tells the story of Shuki Tsetsi's journey and Adriana's growth through the journey.

"And then Adriana started making her own golem: ......"

"I knew she was great even when she was young..."

Zion and Marikka listen to the story with a little help.

"...... and finally the day came when we had to say goodbye to Shuki Tsetsi. ......"

When I told them about Shuki's last days. Zion's eyes were moistened and Marikka was shedding tears.

"Giggle......Genjya-sa-atta......."

"Yes, yes, Marikka, wipe your tears and blow your nose."

Zion takes care of Marikka as if she were his sister.

"Uu...... are you okay?"

"Now, do as you're told."

She wiped her tears and blew her nose. Marikka's eyes were still a little moist, but she seemed to straighten up a little.

Jin smiled and continued.

"When he was alone, he buried Shuki Tsetsi and set out on a journey with a retinue he had created himself.

Jin tells the story of his predecessor who sailed out to sea from the kingdom of Leonard and traveled northward.

"...... and he ended up in the demon territory."

That's where your ancestors are!

"Yes. First, they went to the clans of the Azure Sky. There they learned form drive, and then they visited the clan of Shinra.

"Wow!　Our clan?

"Oh, I didn't know that!"

Theon and Marikka were even more intrigued when they heard that their predecessors had visited the clan earlier.

"So?　Jin!"

Jin laughed and continued.

"...... when my predecessor visited the Morura clan, he was shown the village storerooms. He also analyzed your and repaired the ones that had stopped working."

"Oh, I knew it. I knew there was a legend about that.

Zion corroborates Jin's story. It seems that such events were also handed down to the Morura clan.

"Adamantite, which was called 'immortality metal,' was processed by engineering magic, and as many as 38 ancient relics (artifacts) were analyzed and made usable."

"......The first Magecraft Meister, the first magical engineer, was amazing, wasn't he?"

Right?

She's your mother.

Jin and Reiko are proud of themselves.

"But even Jin has done many more amazing things. A Magecraft Meister is an amazing thing.

"Ha-ha, thank you."

"....... And beyond that?　How long have you been in the demon territory?

Yes, I guess.

Jin, Erza, Reiko, and the old man had read the diary of their predecessor, but they had not told the rest of the group yet.

The reason was that the contents of the diary were not very pleasant and the descriptions were more clerical than in the past.

Nevertheless, Jin decided to speak.

Theon and the other believed in and respected Adriana Barbora Tsetsi more than the human race.

And it was undoubtedly thanks to them that she was able to achieve great success.
