Chapter 395 (2/2)

Reinhardt asked, a little red in his face.

“I’m planning on the 18th.”

Jin promised to return eight days from now.

“All right. I’m looking forward to it. ”

Smiling farewell, Jin and Reinhardt went their separate ways.

Jin checked on the carriage at Saki’s house and the warp gate installed there.

“Oh, Jin, are you heading back already?”

Saki appeared and spotted Jin.

“Yeah. I’ll be back again on the 18th. Oh right, I asked Reinhardt, and he put in an application for the technology expo for both of us. ”

“That’s great. I’ll have to get to work completing my essay then. ”

Saki planned to publish a paper on the natural magic on Horai Island she had been investigating the other day .

Because essays were considered a bit bland, there were few who took the time to publish for this reason, and so the lack of contemporary magical theory was said to be a problem.

“I’m titling it ‘About the Workings of Magic and Engineering Magic.’ If I don’t understand something, I may come and ask you for help. ”

“Yeah, come anytime. You’re a part of my family, Saki. ”

“Kufu, I’m glad. See you again, Jin. ”

“Yeah, see you soon.”

Jin transferred to the shinkai.

The shinkai’s warp gate was actually quite special.

Normal warp gates could only send people from one location to another and back the other way, but the shinkai’s gate could warp to multiple gates and receive warps from multiple gates.

The secret to this was its link cores.

Link cores usually connected warp gates one-to-one, but the Shinkai’s warp gate had a plurality of cores.

By switching to the link core corresponding to each warp gate, transfers from multiple warp gates could be received and sent out.

“With this, everything is certain, so I’m ready to go”

Jin once thought that he could switch the image of the corresponding warp gate by changing the frequency of the core using magic, but he made a mistake, and the really bad experience that followed was something Jin wanted to avoid repeating.

It was natural to focus on certainty.

Jin arrived at Horai Island to hear Ann’s calls.

“Yes, Master”

After asking Ann several questions, Jin began synthesising some complicated magic tools with Reiko and Anne assisting him.

“Yes, that pump there…”

“Make sure it’s airtight, kay?”

“This part is essential”

When the shape was completed to some extent, Jin prepared a large amount of ground spider thread and integrated it using the original engineering magic “melting dissolute” he created the other day. After this, he shaped the thin sheet he had formed into a large bag.

Beside him, Elsa was deep in thought

She was thinking about what Jin had asked her to make for the exhibit.

“Hmm, here, then like this …”

She seemed to be doing trial and error at this point, but Jin decided to let her keep going on her own until she asked for help. The struggle she was experiencing was something he had in the past as well.

“Okay, it’s done!”

Meanwhile, Reinhardt completed his golem in his studio.

“Love, did you make two golems?”

Berthie, bringing some tea in for Reinhardt, saw the finished golems and asked.

“Oh, these two are twins. ”

“They’re Twins?”

“Yeah. Each is responsible for the right and left outer wheels of the paddle steamer. We had a hard time synchronizing the movements, but it worked fine with the ‘Linkage’ that I learned on Horai Island. ”

Reinhardt’s magic had advanced a fair bit.

“So what are their names?”

“Names … Would you mind naming them Berthie. ”

Reinhardt smiled. After thinking for a while, Berthie uttered two names.

“How about Mac and Mick?”

Reinhardt agreed with both of the names.

“Yeah, that’s good! Let’s go with Mac and Mick!”
