Reiko activates the manacam.

"Yes, this is Luna.

Reiko's sister, Luna, the support golem, immediately responds.

"Here I am, sister."

Thank you very much. I'm going to the laboratory now. I'll be back by morning. In the meantime, I'll leave you in charge of your father's safety. Can you do that?

Yes, sister.

Reiko then moved to Horai Island.

Reiko," she said, "I'll leave you in charge of your father's safety during this time.

Reiko, welcome back. How are you tonight?

Laozi, the magical brain in charge of Horai Island, greeted her.

"Lao Tzu, I need to talk to you about your father's safety.

"Let's go see him."

Reiko and Lao Tzu watch each other to make sure they don't run amok, but they are not on bad terms with each other. They are not on bad terms, especially when it comes to Jin.

Reiko explained to Lao Tzu in detail what had happened since the incident of the runaway Golem. Lao Tzu listened to her, but when Reiko finished her story,

I understand. Eladrite, and , that is indeed troublesome. I'll take care of all the golems here. Shield and magic recording stone (MagiRecorder) are fine?

I'll take care of it.

And as for the protection of the master (my lord)...

That is the most important issue.

For a while, Reiko and Lao Tzu had a detailed discussion.

"Then, we have decided to equip every golem with a manacam, is that right?

"Yes. I will ask your father to install the manacam on myself, but Lao-tzu will take care of the others.

"Yes, sir. Since there are so many, we will start with Soleil, Luna, Prane, and Satella, and modify them from the one with the smallest number to the one with the largest number.

"That will be fine."

Jin was also concerned about the built-in manacam, so he decided to take this opportunity to do it all at once.

"Then, as for your father's protection, have you decided to create a covert task force (SP)?

"Yes. However, if we are going to build such a sophisticated golem, it would be better to obtain the master's (Mylord's) permission.

"That's right. I will talk to your father about it tomorrow.

"Yes, please."

Finally, a detailed exchange of information takes place.

"The master (My Lord) has not contacted me recently, so I have a lot of reports. Would you tell him, Reiko?

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

"Sure.

Reiko was told about the map that was currently being made, that the approaching demons had been repelled, and that the materials for the map had been secured.

The meeting ended around midnight. Reiko decided to return to Jin.

Using the warp gate, she returns to the regional city of Degrand without losing any time. The rain had stopped.

"Welcome home, sister. This man was visiting your father's bed, so I took him down.

She pointed at the man tied with ropes. His face was swollen and he had fainted. Reiko glanced at him and lost interest,

"Thank you, Luna. I'll take care of the rest. I'll take care of the rest. You go home. I'm sorry you can't talk to your father.

Yes, sister. Please give my regards to your father.

And so Luna returned to Horai Island. The man they had captured was tied up behind the inn and left there.

The next morning, Reiko told Jin about the >. He said, "Ha, ha!

"Haha, I wish I could have made one too. Well, it would be a pity to leave Reiko alone to guard at night, wouldn't it?"

Reiko says, "No, it's not like that," but Jin had already thought of a plan,

"Okay, let's go back to the lab tonight and make it. ......Ah, I don't have anyone I want to use as a reference for covert action."

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the two of them have been in the same room together for a long time,

"Ah, father, I have just the person for you.

"What?"

Then Reiko told him about the man who had been tied up and left behind the dormitory.

"Hmmm...I knew that kind of guy would turn up. I guess we need a covert task force. Okay. Let's get his behavior pattern.

I went around to the back of the building, but the man was still unconscious. Since it was more convenient for him, Jin decided to use transinfo.

"<>Level 4".

Knowledge of covert action, behavior, actions, and organizational information are all transcribed at once into the magi crystal in his hand.

If we analyze it later, we should be able to find out where they were sent from.

It just so happened that a top-class man of the organization had been dispatched due to the failure of the tracker until the day before. Well, he was easily caught by Luna.

I should add, however, that thanks to this, we had obtained a considerable amount of data on covert activities.

On the night of the 23rd, it rains.

The group stayed at the guest quarters in the provincial city of Djeel.

At midnight, just as the rain was letting up, Jin quietly slipped out of his room and headed for the carriage yard. Perhaps they were alarmed by the death of one of the top members of the organization, but there seemed to be no one suspicious tonight.

Using the warp gate hidden in the carriage, Jin and Reiko were instantly transported to Horai Island.

The time difference between Horai Island and the regional city of Djeel is about three and a half hours. So it is nighttime here. But for the golems, there is neither night nor day.

"Welcome home, father, sister..."

Reiko's assistant golems, Soleil and Luna, greeted her.

"Ah, I'm home. Are you ready to go?

Lao Tzu answered.

"My Lord, welcome back. Yes, all the materials are ready.

"Well, thank you."

Jin then heads for the laboratory.

First, he adds the manacam function to Reiko. Since the basic device has already been built, this is easily completed.

The real work is to be done by <>.

Since it should be as light as possible for its function, the skeleton is made of hollow light silver, and the exterior is also made of light silver.

Now, what should we do for the exterior? The surface is to be colored black. That's a good idea, Jin asked himself in his mind, and agreed.

Masculine or feminine? Adult or child.

Eventually, the answer came.

We should have them all for any occasion.

That night and the next night, over the course of two nights, Jin's own <>, also known as , was born.
