Volume 0 - Chapter 1 – EPILOGUE OF TWO WORLDS
Nidoh Jin was an orphan. As a child, Nidoh was abandoned in front of an orphanage and from then on raised in the orphanage.
His hobby is handicrafts. His specialty is also handicrafts. However the orphanage did not provide the satisfactory environment he wanted, so he decided his own path.
Jin-nii, make an airplane~!
Okay~
From the top, for the young boys he started with a bamboo-copter, then stilts, a boomerang, a kite, and then finally the model plane.
After graduating from middle school, he worked part-time while attending high school part-time.
Onii-chaan, I want a doll~
I got it, I got it, just wait a little bit
And for the girls, he made origami and stuffed dolls. Thanks to learning how to make detailed dresses, he was also able to sew normal clothes.
Youre so skilful Jin. Youve been a great help.
Jins foster parent, the director praised him for every little thing.
Jin, it might be troublesome but could you repair the roof leak?
Leave it to me
He handled the carpentry jobs in general, from the repairs of the house to making the chairs and tables.
After graduating, he found employment at a certain company. He entered the companys dormitory and left the orphanage.
All the children cried, reluctantly parting from him,
Everyone, this wont be the last time we see each other. On my days off Ill come visit with a gift and play with all of you, okay?
And according to his word, when Sunday came, he visited the orphanage with a gift he bought with his pay.
Another space, another time, another world that was not Earth.
There, one witch a magic users life was ending.
listen this laboratory everything of mine entrust it to someone that someone somehow find them Im counting on you
Yes Mother
She was a Magi Craft Meister. She entrusted her successor to the Automata she poured her everything into to construct and died silently.
The company Jin joined was not a so-called black company, but it was still a considerably harsh place. The occupation was not particularly written, the only day off is Sunday, there was no unpaid overtime though, but people at the dormitory were often abruptly called in.
Being a high school graduate, Jin was worked especially hard, resulting in his fatigue accumulating.
Jin-nii, you dont seem well
The children at the orphanage were also worried.
Work must be demanding right? Dont push yourself, you should at least take a rest on Sundays
But even though the director had said that to him, he considered playing with the children his rest and ignored her advice.
The Automata continued to search for its new master, the Successor. Its only lead was the Wavelength and Waveform.
Able to identify a humans individuality by their Wavelength and Waveform, the Automata continued to search for a human with a Wavelength and Waveformthat closely resembled its master.
This world probably not it
The probability of finding someone the same or very similar was extremely small, the Automata could not find the Successor even after 100 years had past.
Nidoh, sorry, but can you take care of this
Okay
Jin was passed various jobs to settle. Sorting documents, contract confirmation and so on were the good ones, and then there was dealing with customer claims as well as defective product servicing and withdrawal. This time, Jin is repairing the internal LAN that ran into some trouble.
All of this was because Jin had knowledge in a wide variety of fields.
Insufficient Mana Available To Access Other World
The Automata was given an enormous amount of knowledge, and knowing it had insufficient magic power to access the other dimension, it developed a way to compensate for that.
Aah, I guess Im a little tired
Jin walked around with dark circles under his eyes. It was understandable. This was the 3rd day that he hadnt slept.
Todays job was a system check for a certain iron manufacturer.
World 2367 Failure. Continuing World 2368 Scan Starting
With the perseverance only an inorganic being could have, the Automatic continued to search for the Successor.
Umm temperature control, error This must be it, the wire must have been cut somewhere.
Jin followed the sensor wire that led to the electric furnace.
World 3601 LOCATED!
The search that lasted for 1000 years had ended, finally the Automata had found the Successor.
Summoning Ritual Activation Commencing
It sure is hot. Even though the furnace is stopped, the melted iron below is still hot.
Although the electric furnace doesnt operate during the occasional check, the large amount of melted iron wouldnt cool down so easily.
Aah, here it is! The iron scraps must have collided with it
The electric furnace melts the iron using arc discharge, producing a number of raw materials and iron scraps. A section of the sensor wire seems to have been damaged from this.
Summoning Magic Circle Constructing. Bestow Special Characteristics Knowledge of Language
The means to communicate is similar for any world.
Activate!
Before the Automata, something emerged from the magic circle composed of complex magic language.
With this Im done!
Jin finished replacing the parts. At that moment, slipping out of his hand, his tool dropped.
Oh crap!
Reflexively he extended his hand out towards the ladle inside the electric furnace. In other words, the place where the melted iron accumulated.
Uwa!
Leaving behind a short scream, Jins body fell down towards the ladle.
At that time,
My life insurance, I hope it goes to the orphanage
was Jins last thought in this world.
