Magi Craft Meister Volume 8 Chapter 04

08-04 All at Once, No Elsa

The next day, Jin was woken up by the hallway being noisy .
He put on his clothes in a hurry, went to the hallway to see what’s going on, and there were several men in military uniforms going back and forth .
One of them noticed Jin and approached .
“Excuse me . But I’d like you to show me your room . ”
“Huh?”
Suddenly getting asked to show his room, Jin was surprised . But the man continued,
“Okay? If you’re not going to say no then I’ll go see it by myself . ”
He said and pushed Jin aside, then entered the room Jin was staying in .
“…What . ”
Jin didn’t have anything to feel particularly guilty about in the slightest, but the man’s attitude displeased him a little . The soldier soon came back out and,
“Hmm, nothing unusual . Sorry for the trouble . ”
He said and walked back into the hallway .
“Really, what . ”
Jin returned to his room . There Ann said,
“Master, I got the feeling that he was looking for someone . ”
Jin listened to Ann’s report while thinking about pointless things like that Ann pronouncing the word ‘master’ with an extreme lisp could’ve been to the original creator’s tastes .
“He ignored places like the built-in drawers of the desk, while searching under the bed and in the wardrobe, and so he must’ve searched for something large, most likely a person I think . ”
Ann’s report was rather outstanding in its insights .
“Someone, but who?”
“Well, to that extent I–”
At that moment there was a knock on the door . Jin told them to come in, and it was Reinhardt .


“Good morning, Jin . ”
“Good morning . ”
Reinhardt said and looked around the room . Jin noticed that and,
“Even you’re involved, what’s the matter?”
He asked . With a complicated look on his face, Reinhardt then said,
“Elsa is…gone . ”

“What’s that you say?”
Jin was astonished . In that case, the earlier soldier must’ve been Fritz’s subordinate or something, looking for Elsa .
“Elsa didn’t seem to wake up and get out of her room even though it was morning . Mine who’d usually be awake by then couldn’t be found either . I tried going to her room, but somehow the two seem to have disappeared . ”
“And so Fritz is going around looking for her . ”
“That’s right . Did they also come here?”
“Yeah . ”
Jin looked out of the window . The soldiers who appeared to be Fritz’s subordinates seemed to be splitting into groups to search . They must’ve been all together looking for her through the whole town .
“What a mess . ”
Jin muttered but he could somehow sympathize with the reason behind Elsa’s disappearance .
“If we assume she’s together with Mine, those guys probably won’t find them . ”
Reinhardt said subduedly .
“In the first place, Mine is from a town near this Ikasanaato . She must be familiar with the terrain, and probably has acquaintances too . If Mine’s seriously running away with Elsa, then there’s no way they’d be found just like that . ”
The tone of his voice carried the feeling that it would be better if they weren’t found .
“How do you feel about this, Reinhardt?”
Jin suddenly wanted to ask .
“About what? About Elsa’s marriage? Or about her disappearance?”


“About both . ”
Jin said, and Reinhardt began to speak with a low voice .
“I don’t think that marriage is a particularly bad thing . Bear in mind when thinking about it that in the case of a marrying a noble who manages territory, he’s got butlers and stewards to assist him . For chores he has maids, so to put it bluntly being a decorative figure is enough . That’s a nobleman’s wife . And for children, it’s enough to hire a wet nurse . ”
After all that, he grinned widely and,
“But that’s just in the case of old nobles . ”
He said and carried on .
“It’s much different for Elsa, who wants to build a warm home . Her ideal is to marry a partner with mutual liking for each other, although there’s also people who say that love grows after marriage . ”
After saying that, for a brief moment Reinhardt had a lonely look on his face . But the next second he returned to his normal expression and continued talking .
“Well, I can’t say I don’t understand their running away . Jin, have you noticed? Mine’s and Elsa’s relation . ”
“Mmh, a little . So that means you have too? Well, I guess that’s obvious . ”

“Yeah . It’s just a guess, but Mine is probably Elsa’s real mother . It’s a guess because that’s something that even if I asked no one would tell . ”
That was probably the case . There’s no way you could hear about it from Elsa’s father . Much less the from person in question herself .
“Mine’s way of talking to, her attitude towards Elsa, and the time she became her nanny, I thought about it a lot and I came to the conclusion she’s likely her real mother . ”
Jin also shared his own opinion . Then,
“Well, I still can’t say I agree with things like her method of teaching . ”
He added . Jin too had seen a lot of troubled children, and because of that he thought no matter how much time passed Elsa couldn’t become independent .
“However, the question is what are we going to do now?”
Jin had a place in mind . Mine’s parents’ home should be around here, and if Elsa and Mine returned there they’d surely be found . Having said that, they could hardly wander around forever .
“Mine is in some respects broken, you know . ”
Reinhardt said . In this world, the expression ‘broken’ was used when a person had a mental illness, a trauma, or something like that . In addition it was used with personality flaws .
Hearing that, Jin thought that that was for sure . He had felt that Mine’s attitude towards Elsa was strange in some parts .
“I wonder why Elsa’s father hired Mine as her nanny . ”


Jin unintentionally spoke out his mind . Reinhardt replied to that,
“Elsa’s body wouldn’t last without Mine . ”
“Eh?”
The shocking truth made Jin lost for words .
“Actually, to be accurate it wouldn’t precisely have to be Mine . However, I think it unlikely that a person similarly good with her circumstances could be found . ”
Reinhardt was about to continue but Jin interrupted him in confusion . He seemed to have been told something unexpected .
“Ho-hold on, Reinhardt . This is the first time I’m hearing about this, what would happen if Elsa didn’t have Mine?”
Reinhardt tilted his head in confusion but,
“Ah, so I had not told you yet, Jin . I thought for sure I had talked about it, sorry . ”
After a word of apology, he began explaining .
“I told you that Elsa’s been tomboyish since way back, right? One of the reasons was because of the ’emissions’ she had . Elsa has a, it’s not a disease but, she has a flaw . It’s called the ‘excess Magic Energy disorder’ . ”
“excess Magic Energy disorder?”
Jin had never heard the expression before .
“Yeah . The Magic Energy that magi possess varies from person to person, but each one has their upper limit, right? Elsa’s limit isn’t very large . It’s just a bit higher than a regular magus’s . ”
“Is that bad?”
But Reinhardt said,
“No no, here’s the point . ”
He appeased Jin who seemed to want him to get to the point quickly .
“Magic Energy decreases when you use magic . That’s correct, right?”
“Mh-hm . ”
“So, by resting the decreased Magic Energy naturally returns to normal . ”
“Certainly . ”
“In Elsa’s case, it returns to more than usual . So, the abundance of Magic Energy eats into her . ”
In this case rather than Magic Energy he must mean Mana .
In the case of eating too much and getting excessive nutrients, one grows fat, and then problems like diabetes appear . The case with Magic Energy is similar, there’s no general rule what happens but the fact is that one’s physical health becomes poor .
Jin tried imagining it . For example, if a golem’s Ether Converter created large amounts of excess Mana while operating, the Mana Driver would be unable to deal with it .
The excess Mana would be stimulated and transform because of small amounts of magic entering from the outside, and it would probably have a negative influence on the containing body .
Would the same thing happen within a human body? Jin could understand Elsa’s problem . And so, that was likely the reason why Mine tried to have Elsa not overexert herself much using magic .
“Her symptoms can be held back if she has a person nearby as an adequate safety valve . ”
Jin understood . It was sure that blood relatives had a similar Magic Energy wavelength, and in the same way a person whose wavelength of life was similar could become a path for Mana and as such hold back the symptoms .
“Are there no other remedies? If Mine were not there, what would happen to Elsa?”
“If it’s not more than for seven or ten days, being apart from her isn’t a problem . Also, during that time by releasing Magic Energy using magic there wouldn’t be a problem . Unlike in her childhood, Elsa can understands that herself . ”
Reinhardt saying so wiped out Jin’s worries .
“Hey Reinhardt, couldn’t she carry a Magi Tool to release Magic Energy?”
Jin asked in curiosity . But Reinhardt made a lonely smile and,
“Yeah, in theory it would be settled with that . But there’s one large problem . ”
He said with a strained voice .
“That is?”
“In the form of magic it can be done, but there’s no such person who could build a Magi Tool that releases Magic Energy before invocating magic . ”
“Eh?”
“Eh?”
Hearing that Jin knit his brows in wonder, and after seeing Jin like that Reinhardt’s expression turned to surprise . Their gazes met .
“There’s no one who can make one?”
“Don’t tell me, Jin, you can?”
Reinhardt timidly asked Jin who replied with a large nod .
“I think I probably could . ”
