“…, and that’s why,”
Jin was desperately trying to explain to Elsa. It seems that Elsa finally understood that it was a misunderstanding.
“Ok I understand, but an automatic doll that is emotional instability … I have never heard about such a thing.”
“Reiko is a really special”
heaving a sigh Jin looked up at the sky. The stars were already beginning to appear.
“Well we should soon go inside”
Elsa also consents when saying so, two people then return from the garden to the room.
“Oh, did you go for a walk?”
There was Elsa’s nanny. After throwing a cold eye toward Jin,
“It seems that dinner is ready.”
So Elsa headed to the cafeteria with the nanny. In returns to their room and collects Reiko once.
Reiko says that she doesn’t need a meal but only Jin heard her say that,
“But well, I didn’t tell anyone that you were an automatic doll.”
It was told so, so Reiko nodded obediently.
By the way Reiko can eat the whole meal. It has to discharge secretly later though.
As well, if the discharged food is further compressed it will turn into a beaded or needle-like shape, which can be taken out by the mouth, because of that it can also be used for attacks, it is stored in the body to some extent.
In addition, there is an analysis function in the mouth, it analyzes the taste of Jin’s preferences, and it can be made use in cooking. Originally it is a detection function for poison, but this is the result after being strengthened by Jin.
Dinner of that day was gorgeous. Clearly Jin is the only one to eat such a dish for the first time.
I didn’t understand exactly what it was when I heard the dishes name because it wasn’t clearly rounded to fine cuisine. “Sharif ‘s Bruschetta”, “Gekuburu’ s Ajejo” or “Aufrauf”.
I don’t really have any likes and dislikes, so I didn’t have to worry about eating, but I did not understand the manners, because I ate with Elsa’s who’s look looked like it seemed somewhat tired, it was Jin who didn’t feel like eating.
* * *
That night, Jin was relaxing in the room and the door was knocked.
Reiko had got to get rid of the food that she had eaten so she was absent, when Jin opened the door, Elsa’s nanny was standing there.
her chestnut hair is collected at the rear of the head, she had brown pupils
“excuse me ”
The nanny cut off the invitation to come in,
“Mr. Jin, I will tell you as a milady of lady Elsa, just because the lady allowed you to ride the carriage with her, Never misunderstand it. Because it is very rude when you do impolite mimicry”
“Ha haa”
It was Jin who didn’t know what he misunderstood, what was he being rude about, but he knew that he should never talk back to a woman who speaks like this from past experience
“You only have to understand. Then.”
That’s when she went away and left.
Closing the door, I did not know what it meant, so Jin stopped worrying and go to bed.
Reiko also came back so he turned off the light of the magic lamp and was indeed tired when lying on the futon, Jin immediately fell asleep.
* * *
The next morning was an early departure. It seems that it is a bit far from the mof [mofuto] [mohuto] village which will be the next lodging place.
For breakfast they had Milk of a domestic animal, freshly baked bread, and after lightly salting of the vegetables they were finished. They left Flathead village while being waved off by the village head.
The flat head mountain which shines in the morning sun was beautiful.
“Ah, I couldn’t make a damper after all”
Jin was busy trying to solve the unstable Reiko and Elsa’s misunderstanding, and it was impossible to develop the damper. But Reiko,
“its okay Father, I will heal you this time”
As Reiko said so, Elsa’s eyes became round.
“Oh, maybe, Reiko, did you remember the healing magic?”
“Yes, thanks to you”
“… ….”
Elsa who finds no word to say. That would be so. It’s not a common thing to be able to reproduce the magic that was recited after only hearing and watching it once.
* * *
Talent and spiritual power to connect to the “data repository” which usually plays “chanting, image, magical power, what is also called” magic catalog “in addition to that.
If all these are not appropriate, magic will not be activated.
To say “you can not use magic” means that one of them is missing.
Jin can hardly use attack magic because He can’t connect to the “magical archive of attack magazine”.
On the contrary, it can be said that he has nearly unlimited access to “engineering magic data repository”. It was incomprehensible for a person born with just this.
Speaking of magic as a computer program, it can be said that a calculable function exists in the “repository”.
Instead of calling the function y = sin (x), can we talk about whether or not trigonometric functions can be solved with only four arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)?
(Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships involving lengths and angles of triangles.)
Then, that’s maybe why Reiko who is an automatic doll can use attack magic of more than Jin, I think that it is in doubt whether there is a limit to engineering magic though.
This is easy to imagine because normal magic including attack magic, in consequence is simple. There are only really many relatively simple “functions” that activate at the same time.
On the other hand, engineering magic chooses who can use it because it is necessary to image not only the result but also the process.
