Chapter 369 (2/2)
“I see…”
Jin saw the very weak flow of magic that emitted from Reiko’s skin and analyzed it.
She repeated this for fifteen minutes.
“Alright, I understand it now.”
Through this inspection, he realized that the difference was apparent not in the ‘flow’ but in the ‘potential.’
The larger the ‘forming,’ the higher the magical potential. If he could read the magical potential, he would know the ‘forming’ amount, and he could calculate the power in it. That’s what it meant.
Jin imagined thermographic footage. It separated things by color depending on its temperature, but here, it appeared depending on how high or low the magic potential was.
“In that case, I will need a Magi Device to read the distribution…”
Up until now, he only needed to read the ‘forming’ of the body.
He was able to do it by imagining the ‘forming’ of the magic current in reverse, but there had never been a machine that read the distribution of magic potential.
It was something that Jin would take on for the first time, and it would bring a revolution to the automatas.
He carefully considered the Magi Sequence and constructed the Magi Formula.
“Trace and Inspection are the basics. After using them, and incorporating them once, add weight and location and calculate backwards…”
Jin muttered to himself as he slowly completed the new Magi Device.
It was a Magi Device that came from a Magi Formula that was about as complicated as a Control Core.
“…It’s complete.”
As if very tired, Jin muttered to himself before leaning heavily back into his chair.
“Father, you must be tired. …Um, it is already night time. I think you should go to bed now.”
Jin was surprised at her words and quickly looked out of the window. It was very dark.
“It is already seven o’clock.”
Thank to the AL that emitted light automatically, he had not realized that it was dark outside.
“Alright. But let me put this on you first.”
“Yes, I understand.”
It took about one minute to integrate it.
“It’s not linked to your movements yet, so it should not be difficult to move in. In any case, I want you to gather some data for me.”
“I understand.”
Reiko nodded modestly. Then Jin remember the time.
“Oh, right. Where’s Elsa?!”
He rushed down the stairs and saw the Elsa was continuing to work obsessively on her doll.
“Hey, Elsa.”
Jin called to her rather loudly. Elsa stopped as if she had suddenly returned to herself, and she raised her head.
“Oh, brother Jin.”
“I just realized it now, but it’s already seven o’clock. You should stop for today and have dinner.”
“Yes. …I am hungry.”
Elsa said with a slightly reddened face. She brushed the dust off of her hands and body and got up from her chair.
“…I feel like I understand you and Reinhart a little better now.”
She muttered, and then her face became even more flushed.
“Haha. That’s great… I think it is, anyway.”
She was saying that Jin and Reinhart often became so engrossed in what they were making that they forgot to eat dinner. And it had not been very long ago that Elsa had admonished them for this…
Jin and Elsa used the warp gate to return to Kaina village.
There was about a two hour time difference between Kaina village and Hourai Island. And so it was just nearing dinner time in Kaina village.
“Welcome back, Master Jin. Welcome back, Elsa. We have just finished with the preparations.”
It was Mine who came out to greet them.
“…Ah, I understand. This is time difference.”
Elsa was able to understand it now that she had the basic principles of science down.
Jin was sure that Elsa would be able to make use of this new knowledge, and he looked forward to seeing it.
“Brother, welcome back.”
Hanna also greeted them with a smile.
While it was a little different than Reinharts, there was also a ‘family’ waiting for him here. And thinking about it made Jin’s heart feel warm.
