Magi Craft Meister Volume 9 Chapter 29

09-29 Moving

After finishing building the icehouse, Jin returned to Martha’s house .
At lunchtime, he was told that Mine had something she wanted to talk to him about .
“So, what is it?”
Jin, Mine, Elsa, Martha, and Hannah were sitting around the table in Martha’s dining room .
“Yes, to tell you the truth, me and Else thought we’d like to live in this village?”
“Pardon?”
As you might expect, this sudden thing surprised Jin .
“I had a talk with Martha-san and the outcome was that we could live in this house . ”
Martha then continued explaining for Mine .
“We talked about many things . Mine-san said she can read and write, can’t she? Once she gets used to the village she could someday teach the children how to read and write, I think . ”
Jin understood .
“Ah, that would be good, wouldn’t it . It’s never a bad thing to know how to read and write . ”
“I’m also good at patching up clothes, and also I think I could somehow make a living by sewing western-style clothes . ”
There was also many things she thought she could help at, said Mine and brought the explanation to an end . Then right after,
“I’d feel sorry if we forever stayed in your care, you see?”
“Ya~y! Auntie, you’re going to stay here?”
Hannah who had been silent until now spoke up .
“Yes, that’s correct . Is it alright?”
“Yeah! I’m glad! Onee-chan too?”
“Yes, that’s correct . Right Elsa?”
“Mm, of course . ”


Perhaps they had discussed it beforehand as Elsa’s reply was also immediate .
Jin smiled and watched the two .
“I see, if you’ve both decided then there’s nothing for me to say . Instead I’ll support you . ”
“Thank you very much, Jin-sama . ”
“Thanks, Jin-nii . ”
“In that case things are going to get busy . First of all, we’ve got to bring your luggage . After that tidy up the room, I suppose?”
Jin said, then Martha spoke while smiling .
“Jin, I’ll take care of the room so you just bring the luggage here . ”
“Got it . ”
Then Jin and Mine decided to return to Kunlun Island to pick up the luggage . Of course Reiko followed them . Elsa ended up waiting with Hannah .

Using Koma and another golem horse they went to the shelter, warped to Kunlun Island through Hourai Island, then Mine quickly began packing .
Although that didn’t mean they had a lot of items to begin with . Perhaps roughly enough to fill three suitcases .
“Sorry for the wait, Jin-sama . ”
Seeing her carry large luggage in both her hands and on her back Jin said,
“Reiko, please carry one of them . ”
He also carried one, having to half-forcibly take it from Mine .
“Sorry, and thank you . ”
Mine apologized but Jin smiled and kept carrying the luggage . It was rather difficult but his pride didn’t let it show .
Returning to Kaina Village was comfortable as the golem horses were waiting at the shelter .
They returned to Martha’s house where the room had already been cleaned . It seemed to be the room which Martha’s son and his wife had used .
Incidentally, the room Jin was using was the guest room . As Hannah had lost both her parents she lived in the same room with Martha .
With Reiko also helping, putting the luggage in order was soon over .
“If you need anything then please tell me . ”


Jin said and Mine nodded happily and,
“Yes, when that time comes we’ll be relying on you . ”
She said . Elsa also looked vaguely relieved .

Because the number of family members suddenly increased there probably wasn’t enough wheat, barley, and such stocked up, Jin thought and this time returned to Hourai Island by himself . Of course, Reiko was with him .
“Hmm, I suppose I’ll have golems dedicated to following them too in case anything happens . ”
Slowly Jin began his normal operations .
He made a golem with the same specifications as the golem maids . But he decided to add a bit more customisations to it .
As for the details of it, they were things to increase combat strength when the situation calls for it . Specifically, he built in a Paralyzer in the left hand and a Magi Jammer in the right one .
Besides them, it could also use [Shock] which Jin had thought was [Stun] all this time and [Induction] .
He also equipped it with a [Stealth] function and a [Magic Barrier] . Of course, it had an internal ManaCom .
Its clothes were the standard clothes of Hourai Island’s maid golems . That is, they were made out of a Ground Spider’s woven silk .
He gave a go to making its eyes out of the same Magi Obsidian as Reiko’s eyes were .
“Reiko has them also like that, but Magi Obsidian has the light and dark attributes . The part biased towards dark is the best for absorbing light, or ‘seeing’, huh~”
While having a soliloquy like that with no one in particular, Jin finished the customisations .
“Activate, naming, …’Sara’ . ”
“Yes, Master . I’m ‘Sara’ . ”
It didn’t seem like a bad name for female-type golem, but the secret only Jin knew was that he named her after the word for a plate, sara .
“Alright, it may be hasty but Sara, please fetch one sack of barley and wheat each from the storehouse . ”
“Understood . ”
Thanks to the transferred information Sara knew where to go for the storehouse on Hourai Island .
Recently Laojin had ordered a portion of the Quinta to make an effort for stockpiling food, so wheat and such were stocked rather plentifully .
And then there was something he remembered while building Sara . It was that he hadn’t added protection against the [Subordination Rewriting Magic] to Hannah’s favorite horse Mint .


At the same time he prepared the necessary materials for that too .
“Master, you’re back?”
Ann then came along .
“Has Laojin reported to you?”
When so asked Jin shook his head .
“Nope, not at all . ”
“Is that so . It’s not urgent but there are a few things to report . Would you like to hear them?”
“Hmm, let’s see . If they’re not urgent then I’ll listen after I’ve gone to Kaina Village and come back again . ”
Jin said, then Ann nodded and,
“Understood . Then I’ll be going to review the data and such . ”
She said and left the room . Jin looked at her as she left and said,
“Mh-hm, please do . ”
Just then as Ann’s replacement Sara came back . She was carrying sacks of wheat and barley on her shoulders .
“Alright, shall we go then?”

In her house, Martha had a wry smile as Jin expressly brought them wheat .
“You’re too kind, Jin . But I’ll accept them as you went through the trouble . ”
Martha didn’t particularly want to, but she judged that by accepting the sacks Elsa and Mine didn’t need to feel ill at ease .
“So, I thought I’d also give a go at building you a personal maid golem . ”
Jin said and introduced Sara .
“My name is Sara, pleased to meet you . ”
“Oh my goodness, what a thing . Aren’t you getting carried away, Jin?”
“Mu-much obliged . ”
Martha’s smile got even wryer . Even Mine didn’t seem to have expected that one day she –who was originally a maid herself– would have her own maid, albeit a golem . Hannah also stared in wonder .

Well, a lot happened but they eventually decided on the priority of their command authority . The manufacturer Jin was another thing, but the result of their talk was the order of Martha, Mine, Elsa, and Hannah .
“But a maid just for us, it’s really something only Jin would do, isn’t it?”
Martha was still talking .
“Well, she’ll be useful with physical labor and such too . ”
Because of the customisations she was stronger than the five-colored maid golems by a half . Usually it kept itself at the strength of two people, but it could be as strong as about ten people if needed .
It seemed unimaginable from the outward appearance .
“Well, I suppose I can have her take care of the house-sitting too . ”
Martha smiled and said . She must’ve thought that it’d be convenient if guests came when she was working in the fields or otherwise absent .
You could say that her not relying on it even if it proved to be useful was one of Kaina Village’s virtues .
“I suppose you can just think of it as a housewarming present from me . ”
Jin said and also smiled .
He then went on to remodel and do maintenance on Hannah’s Mint . Elsa was looking at his work very interestedly . Hannah was looking at Sara together with Mine .
“Is that the countermeasure against [Subordination Rewriting Magic]?”
Elsa asked .
“Yes, that’s right . Well, it probably won’t be seen here but just in case, right? . ”
“Mmh, it’s a terrible thing . The countermeasures are a must . ”
Elsa who had witnessed the harm it caused firsthand strongly agreed .
“Alright, it’s done now . Next, I’ll leave a golem horse for you to use here Elsa, so please give it a name . ”
Jin said and pointed at a golem horse made out of cupronickel .
“Eh? For me?”
Jin nodded . Elsa’s face slightly blushed and,
“In that case, ‘Snow'”
She named it .
