"Don't scold her too much. It's my fault too. I didn't mean for it to happen.

 Amanda said in an apologetic tone, "I didn't mean for this to happen.

 I didn't think Rubina and the others would make such good progress, and it's my fault for not telling them that I would have said <>," Jin said.

 Rubina was finally released.



 Meanwhile, Neige and Rouge were also warned by 700672.

"If you find something you don't know, report it first to me or to Jin-dono.

"......Sorry, Father."

"I admit that we tried to do this on our own. But you shouldn't have done it in such a stubborn way.

"I'm sorry, Father."



 Marikka and Tsukino had restored the ruined tent and some of the materials.

"Jin-sama, is this all right?"

"Yes, thank you."

 When the sun had completely set, the cleanup was finally complete.

"So, I already have a general idea, but I'd like to ask you something.

"...... understands."

 Rubina began to explain in a halting manner.

"I see, you finished modifying the drive system earlier than expected, so you wanted to add the control system as well," she said.

"...... yes."

"That's why I wanted to put it together with the others."

 That's why I didn't have the magi crystals ready," Jin said.

"...... sorry."

"No, that was my mistake. I should have explained the remodeling plan to you first, and more importantly, Rubina's work speed was much faster than I expected. That's impressive. You can be proud of that."

"...... Really?"

"Yeah, really."

"......, that's great."

"Come on, cheer up."

 Rubina is not the kind of person who stays in a drowsy mood, Jin said and patted her head.

"Well, it's late, but let's go home and have dinner first.

 Since Rubina, the mood-maker, was quiet, the dinner was somewhat quieter than yesterday.

 After dinner, I took a bath for a change.

 After getting out of the bath, Jin drank some fruit juice.

 Then we went out on the porch to enjoy the evening breeze of a spring evening.

 It is a warm enough night even in late March, since the house is located on the Tropic of Cancer.

 Meanwhile, Marikka, Amanda, Rubina, Neige, Rouge, and the others seemed to have gotten out of the bath.

 Jin called to them and they sat down on the porch to cool off.

 Reiko brought some cold barley tea.

"It's cold and delicious!

 Seeing that Rubina is finally feeling better, Jin decides to continue the conversation.

"The Magi Crystal that Neige found, I call it .

 The name of the crystal is <, but Jin did not dare to talk about it.

 Jin did not dare to talk about it, because he thought that if he talked about <>, he would have to talk about the fact that Rouge was created by him.

 Rouge now has no such memories and considers <> 700672 as his father, and he did not want to disturb his feelings. She did not want to disturb his feelings.



"This <> looks like a high-performance magi crystal, but as I said before, if you use it as a control core, it tends to go out of control.

 Jin explained that this was probably why the had also sealed it.

"However, just as a poison can be a medicine if used properly, there might be a good use for this . Perhaps the thought so and kept it."

"I see, that's a good idea."

 700672, who had been listening silently, agreed with Jin's guess.

"<> itself is a rare magical crystal (magicrystal), and we don't really know where it can be found. So there is no established method of using it even in the system of magical engineering. No wonder Rubina used it without knowing it."

"Is that what you mean?"

 Marikka now understood why there was no more information.



"Elena used this as a and used to go around destroying Adriana's automata.

"Uh ...... uh, wasn't <> an honorary advisor of the <> or something?"

"How do you know so much?"

I know the history of magical engineering.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



...... I didn't know there was such a thing.

 According to Rubina, the history of magical engineering is divided into seven periods: the pre-Adriana period is called the dawn of magical engineering, the Adriana period is called the golden period, the period after that until the Magic Wars is called the mature period, the period from the Magic Wars to Jin is called the decline period, the period from Jin's time to the rise of the Magic League is called the middle period, and the period when the Magic League is at its height is called the dark period. The seventh is now called the <.

 The seventh, the present, is called the .

"Who put that on ......?"

 Jin, feeling a little embarrassed, mutters unintentionally. Rubina hears this and replies.

"I think it's Mr. Zion and Maricka, isn't it?"

"What ...... Marikka?"

 Jin looks at Marikka, who is sitting on the porch a little further away. Marikka smiled and replied.

"Isn't it nice?"

"No, it's not that bad."

 Jin agreed that, despite the name, the history of magical engineering can be categorized in that way.

"......It feels strange to think that I'm a part of history."

"Is that what it is?"

 Marikka tilted her head as if to say, "I don't know.



"...... Well, whatever. Anyway, that's why.

 Anyway, that's the way it is.

"I guess it would have worked if we hadn't used <>. Let's fix it again tomorrow.

"Yes, yes!"

 Rubina smiled broadly at Jin's words.



"By the way, how did Neige find the warehouse ...... where the was stored? I wonder how she found it?"

 asked Neige, who was sitting on the other side of Rubina.

"Well ...... and I was looking in the corner of the warehouse. I found a wall with a mark on it, so I played with it. I did that and the door opened."

A mark?

"Mister Jin, it was put there by the , perhaps it was a mark like this?"

 <
 He said that the markings looked like natural protrusions to an uninitiated observer.

"You would have to know it was there and be willing to look for it to find it, but Neige must have found it by chance."

 And Neige, who is related to the Origin, was able to open the door.

"It is as you said, father."

 Neige affirmed.

"I had a feeling that something was wrong.

 Was it instinctive, or was it a feeling that only homunculus created with the technology of the origin? Jin did not know.

"Can you take me there tomorrow?

"Yes, I can.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Nee-chan, Roo-chan."

Good night.

Good night.
