Magicraft Meister Part 4

April 29th is Lorona's birthday.

The gathered at Horai Island to celebrate.

"Happy birthday, Rorona-san. Cheers!"

Jin leads a toast on behalf of the family.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Everyone in the room joined in.

"Well, thank you very much, everyone."

Rorona looks happy.

< is having a celebration tonight, so they are having it during the daytime on Horai Island.

That is why Rorona, Sion, Rhodoth, Ludmilla, and the others are drinking non-alcoholic carbonated drinks.

"Congratulations, Mother!

Of course, Zion is also present, and they are celebrating later that evening in the clan's territory.

"Thank you, Theon. ...... I think the best part of the celebration for me is that I am now in your company.

Rorona laughed.

By the way, since this was Rorona's first birthday in the family, everyone had prepared a present for her.

"Well, well, well, everyone, thank you very much."

The gifts from everyone piled up like a mountain.

Jin gave a massage chair, Erza a mattress for a good night's sleep.

Reinhardt got a top quality wine set (red, white, rosé, sparkling).

The other members also received various gifts, such as clothes, shoes, accessories, and bouquets of flowers.

The birthday party was a happy one, but unfortunately the guest of honor, Rorona, had to return to the clan territory soon.

The same goes for Theon, Rhodoth, and Ludmilla.

Maricka was not so demanding, since she usually stays in her workshop and does not go out, but this time she had to go back with them.

"Well then, thank you all very much for your help today.

"Jin, guys, see you soon.

"See you again."

"Thank you very much, it was a lot of fun."

"Jin-san, I'm going to leave you for today."

And then the five of them moved on.

Arnold, Chelle, Filius, and Delfina also had to return to . .......

"Jin, I need to talk to you for a minute.

Arnold said to Jin.

"What's up?"

"I just thought I'd let you know."

Is something wrong?

No, not really.

What do you mean?

Arnold explained to Jin that Eira, Caciea, Gromma and others had gone to the Kingdom of Celuloa via the Kingdom of Klein to look for the manufacturer of the .

The reason, they explained, was that the quality of the control core was astonishing.

"Control core (control core)......?"

"Is there something on your mind?"

"Yes. I'm a little concerned because the golem of the Shoro Empire also had a control core of such a high level that it was mismatched with the body.

"I see. Do you know where it came from?

Yes. A town called Ulaue in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Celluloid. It is a store that deals in them, but the maker is said to be in the next town.

The reason why Jin knows so much is because the day after he submitted the report on the repair of the golem, he went to Miyagi once again, asked the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, and had him check it out.

I thought that they were probably the descendants of the descendants of the who had moved there long ago for fear of being harmed by the , so I wanted to know at least where they were, if I could find out at all.

"I see, so Eira and Groma are going to talk to the creator of the control core. What about ...... Cachea?"

I went with them because I didn't feel comfortable with just the two of them.

Well, I can see why.

Jin then explained his guess about the makers to Arnold.

"I see, a faction that inherited the Adriana method," he said.

"That's just a possibility.

No, it was helpful.

I'd like to hear what Eira and the others have to say when they get back.

Yeah, I'll let you know.

I'll let you know.

With this exchange, Arnold returned to .

The same day, in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Selroa.

Eira and Gromma had left the town of Urau and traveled north to the town of Hulek.

"There are a lot of people out here today, aren't there?"

"Indeed."

The other day, when we passed by the town in the carriage, it looked deserted, but now it seems to be quite lively.

"Maybe there just happened to be some kind of gathering going on then and there weren't people in the area visible from the street?"

"Possibly, but I don't ...... know."

"Well, what should we do?"

Groma wonders if he should go to the town openly or secretly.

But Eira said..,

"Do you think Gromma and I are capable of sneaking into the city?

Eira says, "Do you think Gromma and I are capable of sneaking in?

Gromma stopped him in a hurry.

"Wait a minute. ...... then, you should have insurance."

What insurance?

"Well, that means one of us has to stay here."

That's assuming we don't get caught?

Yes.

Gromma explained to Eira that if the two of them were caught here, there would be no way to notify of the situation.

"I left a note at the inn, didn't I?"

"I left a note at the inn," he said, "but someone will probably see it after they confirm that we haven't returned. That means after tomorrow. If one of us makes it back without getting caught, we might be able to report back to ...... by the end of the day."

"Hmmm, I see what you mean. Well, then, which one of you is going to stay?"

"That would be Eira."

Why?

"Because I think I'm a little more suited to this kind of thing, if not by a long shot."

"......Maybe that's ...... true, but..."

Eira is straightforward, honest, and not ...... very good at playing tricks.

He is a good researcher, but he is not suitable for this kind of undercover work.

"So I'll go myself. It's ...... about 11:00 a.m. right now. If he is not back by 3:00 p.m., assume something has happened and return to the inn and report to <>."

"...... Okay, but Groma, you can't do that. But, Groma, don't take it too hard, okay?"

"Yeah. I'll see you later.

So Eira waited in a suitable rocky hollow, and Gromma went alone to the town of Hulek.
