Magi Craft Meister Vol 10 Chapter 25

Chapter 25Chapter 296 – Progress

 

After lunch, Hannah went to play since she hadn’t been to Kaina village in a while.

Elsa was telling Mine about their journey.

Jin had started planning to protect Kaina village, just in case something were to happen. And to implement those plans, he went back to Hourai island.

 

“Welcome back, master.”

 

Butler 1 welcomed him.

And then Jin went to the workshop.

 

“Welcome back, master.”

 

Ann also came. Jin thought he would tell her later about how he met a similar-shaped automata, Tia.

Jin sat down on his usual chair and started discussing with Laojun through the equipped mana cam.

He explained that now that Kaina village was his leasehold land, he was thinking of increasing its security.

 

“I would like to install magic eyes in several places and increase bodyguard golems.”

 

Laojun also agreed with Jin.

 

[Right. I agree with equipping magic eyes for monitoring along the highway, the Elme river, the northern mountains, the eastern and western forests, etc.]

 

“Master, I think it would be good to also prepare barriers.”

 

“Alright, let’s install barrier-generating devices below the Elme river bridge and the village’s fences.”

 

They made it so that only Jin, Laojun and Reiko could control it. Jin held the most priority, after him

was Laojun, and after Laojun was Reiko.

 

“We will have 26 golems. Same type as army golems, naming them from Land A to Land Z. Let’s make the golems grey so they don’t stand out. Stealth should be installed in all of them.”

 

The army for Hourai island is named after numbers so this is to differentiate between them.

 

[Understood, I will get on starting production immediately.]

 

As they would be of the same type as army golems, even Laojun is capable of making them.

 

“Master, I think it would also be better to equip them with arms.”

 

Another suggestion from Ann. That is true.

 

“Alright, paralyzers against humans. Vibration swords against close range golems. And how about induction radiator against long range types?”

 

“Hmm, right, but since the opposing party might also not be golems so I think it would be better to go with laser guns.”

 

“I see. Then let’s go with both of those.”

 

Exactly what were they planning to fight against?! — There was no one in Hourai island who would retort like that.

 

“Lastly, it would be good to have a proxy for when I am not present.”

 

[That is true. I shall station a Butler there permanently.]

 

And so, one Butler was stationed

stationed at Jin’s house in Kaina village.

 

“That is fine and all but how many Butlers do you plan on making?”

 

When Jin asked, Laojun replied ‘50’.

 

Afternoon of the same day, Jin was checking up on the magic eyes which were set up within last night.

 

“Hmm, hmm. With this, even if humans were to come attacking, we would have ample amount of time to prepare.”

 

They were able to monitor a maximum of 10 kilometers and at least 2 kilometers away from the Kaina village area.

 

“I guess I will make a support intellect exclusively for monitoring.”

 

Something like a small-scale Laojun. In terms of efficiency, it will be about a hundredth of Laojun but should have enough processing power to rival 100 men.

Since he had experience making Laojun, it only took him about 30 minutes to complete.

 

“Activate.”

 

[Pleased to meet you, master.]

 

“Alright, your name will be Koushin.”

 

 

 

These namings also have a complicated backstory.

In a manga Jin had read long ago,

 

–Insects within the human body leave the host on the “Kanoesaru’s” night and tell the Lord of their hosts’ evil deeds. The Lord would then reduce their lifespan depending on those deeds and so the humans would not sleep on the Kanoesaru’s night.–

Jin

Kanoesaru’s night.–

Jin remembered reading such folklores there. It was a faint memory but from that one point of monitoring, Jin named it Koushin (Kanoesaru).

 

[Understood. I am Koushin from now on. I will do my utmost in monitoring work.]

 

“I leave it to you.”

 

Jin returned to Kaina village after 3 PM.

When he went to the library on the 2nd floor, he found Hanna there, waiting for him.

 

“Onii-chan, welcome back.”

 

“Mm? Did something happen, Hanna?”

 

She cast her eyes downwards and was being hesitant but after a while, looked up to face Jin, and said with a clear tone.

 

“Onii-chan, it is fine if you want to go travelling somewhere, okay?”

 

“Eh?”

 

Jin was confused by this sudden event.

 

“When we went out before, it was really fun. Onii-chan, you also have some place you want to visit, right? Then it is completely fine if you go visit. I will be a good kid and wait here.”

 

“Hanna…”

 

Certainly, his desire to go to Shouro empire swelled up after having that conversation with Reinhart.

But was it really so obvious that even Hanna realized it? — Jin thought, but soon understood that it was probably Elsa. After all, the only ones who knew of this were her and Mine.

But he

and Mine.

But he didn’t say it out loud. Instead, he just stroked Hanna’s head.

 

“Thank you. Then, I might head out sometime soon. But I will return from time to time, I promise.”

 

“Okay!”

 

Jin promised to return. Hanna was happy with just that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That night, during Reinhart’s regular call.

 

[We finally reached Bololon.]

 

“Glad to hear that. I also might head there sometime around tomorrow.”

 

[What? Jin, you okay?]

 

“Ah, only me, though. It’s still impossible for Elsa, right?”

 

[Hmm. Fritz is back to normal but we don’t know about his home, after all. Ah, right. We also found Adburgh and Herman.]

 

“Adburgh was the butler and Herman was the guard, right? What about the other one?”

 

[We are unsure about the manservant, Otto. As far as I have heard from Herman, after the dismissal, he went away on his own. So he won’t probably be returning to Shouro empire.]

 

“I see. I guess we can’t help it.”

 

[Elsa is doing fine, right?]

 

“Yea. This time, I will be coming alone.”

 

[Got it. We will probably reach Ganiz by tomorrow and Toskoshia the day after. Catch up to us by Toskoshia, alright?]

 

“Yea, leave it to me.”

 

[Haha, I thought you would say that. Alright then, I will be looking forward to our reunion.]\n
