Chapter 369
Elsa is also Obsessed
“…Brother Jin, that’s amazing . Thank you . ”
While it was only the beginner’s level, Elsa had absorbed Jin’s knowledge and was now uncharacteristically excited .
“…The structure of matter, the reason that things fall, how planes fly . I finally understand it . ”
Elsa had acquired an elementary to junior high school level of knowledge in science . So many things she had wondered about before were now known to her, and she was so happy and excited .
“And with that, you are officially my apprentice . But I must warn you, don’t go around announcing it, alright? You must be cautious . ”
“Cautious… Should you really be telling anyone to be cautious?”
Elsa joked, which was also unusual for her .
Jin laughed and scratched his head with embarrassment before returning to the matter at hand .
“Now, the bed and blankets are ready . But we can’t carry them…”
They were too big to go through the carriage warp gate .
“Father, I think we have no choice but to wrap it up and smuggle it in quietly . ”
Reiko, who had been silent up until now, said .
“Hmm, I see . I suppose there is no other way…”
And so he decided to carry it at night with an invisible aircraft .
“I might have to make a floating base near Lake Tosumo…”
Laojun heard Jin’s muttering and would later go on to make it, but that would happen later on .
“So, is this alright?”
Jin said as he looked at the blankets and bed that were to be a gift to Reinhart . Elsa looked at him and decided to ask him a favor .
“…Jin, I too want to give a present to Reinhart . ”
“Yes, I see . Of course, you would, Elsa . So, what will you give?”
Elsa answered immediately .
“A mascot . ”
“Mascot?”
Jin asked, and so Elsa explained .
Apparently, there was a custom where dolls were given as gifts . They were meant to protect the houses of newlyweds . Reinhart’s mother had sent one when her brother, Moritz Randol von Amber had gotten married .
“I want to make a doll like Non and give it to them . ”
Non was the Japanese doll that Jin had given to Elsa on her birthday . Elsa liked it very much and still kept it in her room in Kaina village .
“I understand . You should do it then . You can use any materials that you like . ”
Not that it would require that much .
“I will help you if there is anything you want to know . ”
“Yes . I will try it . ”
And so Jin left it to Elsa to do it on her own, and he finally went to work on the other thing he needed to do . Modifying Reiko .
“Reiko . You were watching Ehr, weren’t you? I would like to add that same ‘sense of touch’ to you . What do you think?”
Reiko nodded .
“Yes . I have no objections to what you believe is good for me, father . ”
“Great . ”
And so Jin informed Elsa, who was busy at work, and then headed to his laboratory on the second floor with Reiko .
The materials he would use for the sensors was the flying membrane of a sea dragon .

What moved the flying membranes of dragons was not muscle, but magic . In other words, you could freely control them with mana .
Once the flying membrane was spread open, it was no thicker than one millimeter, and yet it was stronger than steel . But on the other hand, it was soft and could be easily folded without resistance .
He could use this characteristic to make Reiko’s skin harder than steel and yet as soft as a baby .
Furthermore, it was known that the stretching and bending of the material caused magical energy to be released .
This was not only true of dragons, but any monster or beast that had wings .
However, the material that was available at the time was much worse than the wings of a sham dragon or sea dragon, and so the magic that came from it was weak . And so his predecessor had not thought to use it for anything .
But Jin believed that this skin could be used as sensors .
“Hmm . In that case, it will be necessary to differentiate between the magic from the wings and magic from Reiko . ”
Jin thought about it for a while, before wondering if the pattern for the magic from Reiko and the skin might be different .
“Alright, Reiko . Sit over there…yes, try opening and closing your hands . ”
“Yes, father . ”
At the same time, Jin used ‘Trace’ and ‘Inspection to chase after the flow of magical energy .
“I see…”
Jin saw the very weak flow of magic that emitted from Reiko’s skin and analyzed it .
She repeated this for fifteen minutes .
“Alright, I understand it now . ”
Through this inspection, he realized that the difference was apparent not in the ‘flow’ but in the ‘potential . ’
The larger the ‘forming,’ the higher the magical potential . If he could read the magical potential, he would know the ‘forming’ amount, and he could calculate the power in it . That’s what it meant .
Jin imagined thermographic footage . It separated things by color depending on its temperature, but here, it appeared depending on how high or low the magic potential was .
“In that case, I will need a Magi Device to read the distribution…”

Up until now, he only needed to read the ‘forming’ of the body .
He was able to do it by imagining the ‘forming’ of the magic current in reverse, but there had never been a machine that read the distribution of magic potential .
It was something that Jin would take on for the first time, and it would bring a revolution to the automatas .
He carefully considered the Magi Sequence and constructed the Magi Formula .
“Trace and Inspection are the basics . After using them, and incorporating them once, add weight and location and calculate backwards…”
Jin muttered to himself as he slowly completed the new Magi Device .
It was a Magi Device that came from a Magi Formula that was about as complicated as a Control Core .
“…It’s complete . ”
As if very tired, Jin muttered to himself before leaning heavily back into his chair .
“Father, you must be tired . …Um, it is already night time . I think you should go to bed now . ”
Jin was surprised at her words and quickly looked out of the window . It was very dark .
“It is already seven o’clock . ”
Thank to the AL that emitted light automatically, he had not realized that it was dark outside .
“Alright . But let me put this on you first . ”
“Yes, I understand . ”
It took about one minute to integrate it .
“It’s not linked to your movements yet, so it should not be difficult to move in . In any case, I want you to gather some data for me . ”
“I understand . ”
Reiko nodded modestly . Then Jin remember the time .
“Oh, right . Where’s Elsa?!”
He rushed down the stairs and saw the Elsa was continuing to work obsessively on her doll .

“Hey, Elsa . ”
Jin called to her rather loudly . Elsa stopped as if she had suddenly returned to herself, and she raised her head .
“Oh, brother Jin . ”
“I just realized it now, but it’s already seven o’clock . You should stop for today and have dinner . ”
“Yes . …I am hungry . ”
Elsa said with a slightly reddened face . She brushed the dust off of her hands and body and got up from her chair .
“…I feel like I understand you and Reinhart a little better now . ”
She muttered, and then her face became even more flushed .
“Haha . That’s great… I think it is, anyway . ”
She was saying that Jin and Reinhart often became so engrossed in what they were making that they forgot to eat dinner . And it had not been very long ago that Elsa had admonished them for this…
Jin and Elsa used the warp gate to return to Kaina village .
There was about a two hour time difference between Kaina village and Hourai Island . And so it was just nearing dinner time in Kaina village .
“Welcome back, Master Jin . Welcome back, Elsa . We have just finished with the preparations . ”
It was Mine who came out to greet them .
“…Ah, I understand . This is time difference . ”
Elsa was able to understand it now that she had the basic principles of science down .
Jin was sure that Elsa would be able to make use of this new knowledge, and he looked forward to seeing it .
“Brother, welcome back . ”
Hanna also greeted them with a smile .
While it was a little different than Reinharts, there was also a ‘family’ waiting for him here . And thinking about it made Jin’s heart feel warm .
