> You are Alice Margatroid, a magician living within the Forest of Magic. You've already dealt with the problems you faced the days prior. Things are more relaxed now.

> Joining you in such relaxation is Meiling, who's been allowed a vacation of her own. Though, things may be a bit troubled by Shinki's arrival. You're not quite sure yet. It sure seems as though she doesn't have harmful intentions, but the other residents of Makai may not act as proper...

> You are at the Moriya Shrine, having just finished showing off a brief spar and demonstration of the Spell Card rules with Sanae to Shinki, who has gone inside with Kanako to presumably learn more.

> "Robot. Its like a person created to perform a certain task. Like a technological puppet or golem."
> Technology... You could probably make such a thing with Nitori's help. She should be able to aid you, unless your incentive tips didn't work out.

> "Mechanical?"
> "Like a fridge. A heater or cooler. Toaster, rocket, phone... Oh, maybe that's the big difference. Mechanical things arent usually magical. They're like opposites. That kind of technology makes use of science and physics, usually."
