Magi Craft Meister

Now, the scene changed, after rescuing Merze, outside the town of Banyu, the abandoned factory.

An investigator has been dispatched by you because the Dagger of Evidence has not been found. [M]

Legules 48, commonly known as "Alfredo" and Deneb 22, commonly known as "Kleine" in "Column 5 (Quinta)."

Both were in charge of the eastern part of the empire and were familiar with the topography and town.

"Looking at this footprint, it looks like there was another kidnapper or his associate."

I see.

Kleiner apparently found a small footprint.

The other two are about 27cm to 28cm, but this one is about 25cm.

The shape of the sole of the shoe was also different, so I was able to determine that it was definitely a "third person".

It may be a completely unrelated third party, but given the age of the footprints and the location attached, there is a large public budget for being a companion or related party.

"Were you acting differently, or..."

"... is it possible that the aim was a dagger?"

Maybe that's it.

The "Dagger of Evidence" is also a testament to the emperor's family.

If you are willing to shake the empire, it is an important element along with Merze's identity.

"So you did something else?"

"Is that possible?"

Yeah, sure.

"So... you split up?"

That's possible.

Now, what are we going to do about it?

"In the first place, what kind of dagger is that?"

It was you who answered this question.

They say the Emperor's family glows when they put magic into them.

Hikaru?

"Is that all?"

"Yes... and I know something about it."

Around the same time, the Imperial Palace of Sholo (Cucumber).

"... that's why I rescued Miss Merze and brought her home.Right, Reiko? "

"Yes"

Jin explained the rescue to the Emperor with Reiko.

"I see... Thank you again, Lord Jin, Lord Lake."

Emperor Ernst II lowered his head lightly to Jin and Reiko.

"But it's hard to find the Dagger of Evidence."

"Sure."

"If you don't mind, could you tell me what kind of dagger it is?"

When looking for it, Jin said that it's hard to find something that you barely know.

"That's true.... I saw it once when I was little, but it's a kind of ritual sword. "

"I mean, it's not about chasing sharpness?"

"Yes, because it's a dagger, it's about 20 centimeters long.Then the pattern is about six centimeters. "

It's small.

It may be just right for a child, but Jen felt that.

"So it must be a ritual.There is no sharpness. Rather, the blade is not metal. "

"What about it?"

"It's made of semi-transparent material.It seems soft and won't break.It's not hard, so even if I cut it with it, it doesn't feel as good as being beaten. "

……

"And when the Emperor casts his magic, the translucent blade shines in gold."

"Hah...."

Jin is somehow, but the image of the dagger has hardened.

"What does it look like... decorating it?"

"Hmm. The sheath is white based and reinforced with gold.There are seven colors of jewelry scattered there... I think. "

"Hahaha....."

"The pattern is also based on white, and there are clear crystalline stones embedded in the handle.And Tsuba is silver. "

……

"Um, do you know the maker?"

"Hmm. The second generation... is said to be the ancestor of Magic Engineer Magikraft Jazz."

"... I knew it."

"That's right. Exactly the work of" Magic Engineer Magikraft Jazz ".It is an exquisite dish that cannot be imitated by others.I don't suppose it's impossible for someone to steal a dagger and run away.I can't forgive you. "

"... that's right."

Jen somehow imagined that it was something he had made in the past, but he was convinced after hearing a detailed explanation.

(It's probably a toy dagger....)

It is made of resilient soft resin… 'Foamed Underground Spider Resin (GSP)' to avoid danger and injury.

The effect of the golden glow is the playful heart of Jen, who thought the child was going to be happy.

Perhaps the benevolence of the past was a gift for the children born to the Emperor's family.

I wonder if it has become a treasure after all this time...That's what Jen thought.

As Jin imagined, what is called the 'Dagger of Evidence' was given to the Emperor's house by Jin in the past.

Specifically, to Ernst I, Emperor Weissberg Ernst von Schauro.

To celebrate his fifth birthday, Jen gave it as a toy sword.

'Now' Jin doesn't know about it, but you remember clearly. [M]

And then...

If that dagger had been from that time, he would have had his master's magic pattern.

I think so, and I will conduct a search based on it.

"Magic Detector (Magirader)."

However, I decided to change the operation method.

They realized that concentric circular searches, centered on specific points, were inefficient.

First, we will search for Penglai Island or a fan-shaped area centered on relay points.

It is a fan type because the approximate orientation is known.

At this time, the sensitivity should be maximized.

Then, if there is a reaction, you can narrow down the range and identify the coordinates.

With this procedure, searching wasted areas is a very short process.

Because of the "radar", what Jin imagined was concentric circular searching, and until now, the subject could be discovered in a short time, so there was no improvement.

"Start searching... response... range refinement... further refinement... discovery"

We found the dagger's reaction less than two minutes after the search began.

Next is confirmation of the subject by "peeping telescope (Peeper)".

"... target discovery.... hmm... looks like a normal person.You started another operation in the town of Banyu. "

From your point of view, we were working together until the town of Banyu, and then we started taking separate actions at the abandoned factory. [M]

It would not have been a hassle if I had discovered it before the town of Banyu, but I was a little disappointed. [M]
