Volume 0 - Chapter 1 – EPILOGUE OF TWO WORLDS (1/2)

Nidoh Jin was an orphan. As a child, Nidoh was abandoned in front of an orphanage and from then on raised in the orphanage.

His hobby is handicrafts. His specialty is also handicrafts. However the orphanage did not provide the satisfactory environment he wanted, so he decided his own path.

「Jin-nii, make an airplane~!」

「Okay~」

From the top, for the young boys he started with a bamboo-copter, then stilts, a boomerang, a kite, and then finally the model plane.

After graduating from middle school, he worked part-time while attending high school part-time.

「Onii-chaan, I want a doll~」

「I got it, I got it, just wait a little bit」

And for the girls, he made origami and stuffed dolls. Thanks to learning how to make detailed dresses, he was also able to sew normal clothes.

「You’re so skilful Jin. You’ve been a great help.」

Jin’s foster parent, the director praised him for every little thing.

「Jin, it might be troublesome but could you repair the roof leak?」

「Leave it to me」

He handled the carpentry jobs in general, from the repairs of the house to making the chairs and tables.

After graduating, he found employment at a certain company. He entered the company’s dormitory and left the orphanage.

All the children cried, reluctantly parting from him,

「Everyone, this won’t be the last time we see each other. On my days off I’ll come visit with a gift and play with all of you, okay?」

And according to his word, when Sunday came, he visited the orphanage with a gift he bought with his pay.

Another space, another time, another world that was not Earth.

There, one witch… a magic user’s life was ending.

「… listen… this laboratory… everything of mine… entrust it to someone… that someone… somehow… find… them… I’m counting on… you…」

「Yes ・ Mother」

She was a 《Magi Craft Meister》. She entrusted her successor to the 《Automata》 she poured her everything into to construct and died silently.

The company Jin joined was not a so-called black company, but it was still a considerably harsh place. The occupation was not particularly written, the only day off is Sunday, there was no unpaid overtime though, but people at the dormitory were often abruptly called in. ⚑

Being a high school graduate, Jin was worked especially hard, resulting in his fatigue accumulating.

「Jin-nii, you don’t seem well」

The children at the orphanage were also worried.

「Work must be demanding right? Don’t push yourself, you should at least take a rest on Sundays」

But even though the director had said that to him, he considered playing with the children his rest and ignored her advice.

＊　　　＊　　　＊

The 《Automata》 continued to search for its new master, the 『Successor』. Its only lead was the 『Wavelength』 and 『Waveform』.

Able to identify a human’s individuality by their 『Wavelength』 and 『Waveform』, the 《Automata》 continued to search for a human with a 『Wavelength』 and 『Waveform』that closely resembled its master.

「This world ・ probably ・ not it」

The probability of finding someone the same or very similar was extremely small, the 《Automata》 could not find the 『Successor』 even after 100 years had past.

「Nidoh, sorry, but can you take care of this」

「Okay」
