Magi Craft Meister

Deus Ex Makina III and Knight Subordinate Ray, who resigned from the royal castle of the kingdom of Celluloa, returned to Aristotle.

Immediately return to Koh Phong Rai via the built-in transfer gate (warp gate).

Aristotle sends the crew back to Arkadia, the base of Makina.

Incidentally, Arcadia, which can travel by sea at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, is now about 200 kilometers east of the Elias Peninsula.

Makina, who returned to Koh Phong Lei, was slightly re-equipped and transported in a "transporter" with Knight Squirrel to the southern town of Kup, the kingdom of Serroa.

One of them, Deneb 25, also known as Mia, was waiting there.

"Welcome, Makina, Ray."

"Mia, are you glad you're here? I'll take care of you."

Mia is currently working as a fisherman for women in Kup.

I live alone, so I intend to use her house as a base.

Mia's house was closer to the coast than to the outskirts of Kup.

After all, it is a house built in a slightly higher place.

It is made of stone to withstand the tidal wind.

"Is this the Great Valley?"

The official name is Pumice Limestone.It is an architectural style commonly found in Potroc at the southern end of the kingdom of Elias.

"Yes, we can pick a little around here."

Mia explained while inviting the two into the house.

"I've been a fisherman here for two years."

Well, then, you know the situation.

"Now, let's briefly explain the situation."

Mia used the built-in Magic Communication Machine (Mana Cam) and exchanged information in less than two seconds.

It seems that the "Association of Investigators" has been in existence for about five years.

I see. What about the Fair Party?

Looks like you're at the same time.

What's going on with the call for believers?

Should I say the target is the middle class?You're not a rich man, you're a small rich man.

Huh?

No contact with the poor.

I see. What about Mia?

There's no contact at all.

Mia lived here, pretending to be a fisherman and finally be able to eat.

I mean, the people who can't suck up the money aren't going to take them.

That's the way it is.

It's obvious.

Yes, sir.

Therefore, it can be said that "Deneb 25" -Mia was able to observe two organizations from outside.

So, what do you think?

Looks normal to me.

What's normal?

Specifically, we gather believers, educate them, and show them a little routine welfare activities.

What are the contents of welfare activities?

(The treatment of sick and injured people is 80%, support for the needy... cooking out... 20%, etc.)

I'm sure it's normal.

So, as for drugs, I don't really know from the outside.

Is that so?

Yes, it appears to be used only inside the organization.

But aren't they leaking out?

So far, so good.

Apparently, the believers don't realize they're using 'drugs', Mia said.

I've been focusing on these two groups since three days ago.

Yeah, that's right.

If he had been so clever, it would not have been impossible under normal intelligence operations to obtain "column 5 (Quinta)," even if he could only get the information once and for all.

But I've learned a lot in those three days, especially today.

What happened?

There was a massive rally.

[... where?]

I'm sorry, I didn't explain.... a cathedral built four years ago just south of Kup.

That's a very generous name.

Yes, but there are all kinds of gimmicks, and I can't be a fool.

What is it?

There are sound-insulating boundaries, initial magic barriers (magic barriers), and intruder traps.

I'm sure it's not normal.

"Yes... there was a big gathering in that cathedral today."

It is said to be a gathering where the majority of the faithful gather.

It seems that the "priest", equivalent to the Patriarch, will teach, and the "Virgin" will shine a healing light.

It seems that only the founders are called "Patriarchs."

Well, you don't have to understand.

<... so everyone who came out after the big gathering looked happy.Before entering, there were all kinds of spicy people, people with dark faces, people who were frustrated.

Do you think it's the drugs?

Perhaps. But the initial magic barrier prevented us from grasping the rally. Unfortunately.

So far, the instructions from the old man are, "Don't be impossible, keep investigating for a long time."Intense investigations that reveal who you are are are are not yet permitted.

I don't know what to do with that.They're not the only investigators in the Fifth Row.

That's why we're here, Makina.

Tomorrow, we'll see if we can get in.

Oh, then maybe not.

Why?

Currently, we need a recommendation from a member to receive incoming calls.

You're being careful.

I can tell you that.

< Hmm... then what should I do? >

Here, Ray speaks.

Are there no ordinary people against you?

No, that's not true.As I said earlier, we also treat sick and injured people.

<... but I'm not going to use it... >

Because Makina, Ray, and Mia are not human.

If you use the magic of the examination system, you'll find out who you really are.

No, not necessarily.

Huh?

You should prepare magic equipment to return false results for the examination magic.

I see.

And Jin-san is the only one who can make such a thing.

That's right.

That's why Makina conveyed this idea to you. [M]

And I asked Jin to consider it.

So far, about two seconds.

Compressed data exchange provides dozens of times the efficiency of information exchange over audio.

And you made sure Jin was in the bedroom and contacted him. [M]

"What's the matter, old man?"

Yes, Master (My Lord). In fact, this is the request from Makina who went to investigate the Fair Party (Ekita) and the Investigation Association.

"Hmm... I see... okay"

It was still 9: 00 p.m., and Jen, who was in the Loizat Mansion, decided to consider the magic equipment that Makina wanted.
