Magi Craft Meister 636

18 King Klein’s Treatment Arc

19-23 Crisis Averted

Jin was thinking about how to analyze the Magi Crystal, which was loaded with the maid’s memories.

Laojun would be the one most suitable for analyzing the Magi Crystal. However, there was no way to send it to Hourai Island without it taking too long.

“Is that something I can do, Father?”

Reiko asked Jin.

“Hmm, you, huh… that’s right, you might be able to do it.”

“Really!?”

Reiko was happy to learn that she might be able to help Jin.

“Link this with your backup Control Core. Then you should be able to read its contents without any risk.”

Jin came up with the idea of ??using a backup Control Core, since linking it directly with Reiko’s main Control Core could interfere with its memory area.

This is possible because both are written with Jin’s magical pattern. When Reiko received the Magi Crystal, she immediately linked it to her backup Control Core.

“…Father, she’s clean.”

Since Jin had shared his knowledge with her, she used a colloquial term instead of saying that the maid was “innocent”.

“Really, I don’t know anything. I was just doing my normal job.”

“I see.”

This conversation took place in a corner of the room. Only Elsa was listening.

Princess Lieschen was hugging Hanna as if to protect her, and both were sitting on the sofa.

The chancellor, Prince Arthur, and Jessica were in the middle of a discussion.

“Anyway…”

Prince Arthur seems to have reached a conclusion.

“Liese, Miss Elsa, and the guests should be moved to the royal castle instead of this villa, and the security around them is to be increased. At least until our culprit is identified.”

“…Very well.”

The chancellor had no choice but to nod to Prince Arthur’s opinion. If something were to happen to Elsa or Jin, who are state guests, it could turn into an international problem.

Things progressed quickly after that.

Jin, Elsa, Hanna, Reiko, and Edgar were moved to the rooms reserved for special guests in the royal castle.

Princess Lieschen also goes to the royal castle, joined by Tia.

And as for the maid that Tia had been detaining – apparently her name was Amelie – it was decided that she’d be put in prison for the time being.

The “Transinfo” that Jin secretly performed was not a common spell, and even if he were to explain that such magic existed, it would take time to prove that the information it collects is actually true.

In addition, if the knowledge of such a spell were to be spread out, it could become a worldwide threat, so it’s not something that can be made public.

That’s why Jin had investigated the maid’s memories in secret.

Jin was convinced she is innocent, but whether he can convince a third party of that is an entirely different story.

He was barely able to postpone her punishment by reasoning that the possibility of the maid Amelie being the culprit was low, and that she could be at most just the perpetrator, so it would be better to keep her alive so that the true culprit could be revealed.

Still…

(Reiko, how about the Covert Units?)

(Yes, they have already been deployed inside the royal castle.)

Since it was not possible to have them board Jin’s blimp, they were momentarily returned to Hourai Island by transfer machine before being sent to Alban.

Now, they had crossed the castle walls, entered the castle, and were ready to protect Jin, Elsa, and Hanna without showing their presence.

(Alright, let’s make it so that Amelie won’t be silenced by the real culprit while she’s imprisoned… Right, let’s have Lily and Rose watch over her.)

(Understood.)

Several items for testing food for poison were lined up on the table for that day’s dinner.

In addition, Jin and Elsa would use their “Analyze”, and Reiko would also taste the food for poisoning herself, so they were perfectly prepared.

However, nothing actually happened during that dinner that would warrant such measures.

The food contained no poison.

“I shouldn’t have brought Hanna with us…”

Jin regretted putting her in danger.

But now that things have turned out like this, he had no choice but to do everything he could to protect her.

Would she be safe if the culprit’s target is clear?

In other words, it is unlikely that Hanna would be targeted directly. But he still had to be careful about her getting involved in this.

“Reiko, please instruct Iris and Azalea to be extra cautious.”

“Understood.”

Even though it may look like taking extra steps to do the same thing, the reason why Jin asks Reiko instead of him giving the instructions himself was because Reiko is more suitable for the job. Reiko has a built-in Mana Comm, which she can use to pass on Jin’s instructions without speaking out loud.

The night in the Klein Kingdom progressed without any other events.

? ? ?

The next day, breakfast was also inspected rigorously.

Since it had to be carefully tested for poison, it naturally got cold. Being so bad at taking in hot foods and drinks, Jin enjoyed his breakfast without any complaints.

“…Brother Jin”

After breakfast, Elsa started talking while drinking her herbal tea, which had of course also been tested for poisoning.

“I think we should send Hanna back to Kaina Village.”

“…Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that too.”

Even if Jin could ensure her physical safety, there was no way a place like this, where a dark scheme taints the air, would be a good place for her education.

“Huh? Return to Kaina Village? Yeah, okay, but what about you, Big Brother, Big Sis?”

After Jin and Elsa explained to Hanna that it would be better for her to return, she nodded obediently, but was still concerned with Jin and Elsa’s safety.

“I have to cure the king’s illness.”

“And if Elsa stays, I have to stay with her.”

Elsa’s cheeks blushed slightly at Jin’s words, but her face quickly returned to a serious expression.

“Brother Jin, I won’t be conducting any treatment on the king today nor tomorrow, so I think it’s best to send Hanna back to Kaina Village as soon as possible.”

“You’re right right”

Jin immediately decided to consult with the chancellor.

Luckily, there was still a little time before he had to start with his official duties, so they were able to talk about this right away.

As chancellor, it was in Powell’s best interests to avoid a situation that would displease Jin as much as possible, so he granted him permission immediately.

And Jin moved quickly. By 9:00 AM he was already preparing his blimp for takeoff.

Considering the current circumstances, he conducted a thorough search on its hull.

He considered the possibility of it having been sabotaged in some way, but since Steward had been in charge of protecting the blimp, he found nothing worthy of note.

“Okay then, I’m leaving.”

“See you later, princess!”

“Yeah, you should come visit again sometime, Hanna.”

“Take care, Brother Jin.”

“I’m going to be away for only a while, but you take care too, okay, Elsa?”

“Lord Jin, take care.”

The blimp carrying Jin, Hanna, and Reiko floated in the Alban sky, seen off by Princess Lieschen, Elsa, and Jessica.

This day was also cloudy.

Jin has no intention of going to Kaina Village like that.

They took the blimp above the clouds. There, the Condor 3 that Jin had called in advance was waiting for them with a Warp Gate that would take them to Hourai Island.

After getting off the blimp there, they once again transferred themselves to Kaina Village.

Jin had the blimp undergo another thorough examination and maintenance while in Hourai Island, as well as some modifications.

In addition, he also had an ultra-small Golem prepared for intelligence gathering purposes. Being five centimeters tall, it has the exact same specifications as the “Finger Golem” that Laozi has at his disposal.

“Granny, I’m home~”

Having come out of the other side of the Warp Gate in the basement of Jin’s workshop, Hanna went straight to Martha’s place. She was followed by Reiko, who was carrying her baggage.

“Good morning, Hanna. You’re back early, aren’t you?”

“We’re back, Martha.”

“Ah, you’re here too, Jin. Did something happen?”

“Well, actually…”

Jin explained the incident that happened in the royal castle.

“Hmm, you’ve been through some trouble. But I see, if that’s what happened, I’d feel much more at ease if Hanna was back home too.”

Then Martha goes on.

“…Jin, you should be careful too, you know? You can certainly do a lot of amazing things, but you can get hurt, and in case of emergency…”

With Hanna around, Martha avoided using words that sounded too drastic, but Jin understood what she was saying and the feeling she was trying to convey.

“Yes, thank you, Martha. I’ll be careful.”

“Yeah, really, you have to take care. And not just of yourself, you have to take care of Elsa as well.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Martha nods.

“Yeah, that’s more like it. …So, I don’t know if this’ll help at all, but that poisonous plant? It sounds like when someone eats ‘Aconita’…”
