"Yes, I know."
Makina-Hito, Reiko, Anne, and Land 70 stood in front of the hidden door they had found in the middle of the ramp that used to be a stairway.
"I'll open it."

Land70 pushes the door, but it doesn't budge.

Yes, sir.

So, following Jin's instruction, Land70 pushes the door with full force.
The door and the can opener held, but the hinges came off unbearably and the door fell into the room.
The room seemed to be small, but it was quite spacious. It was about the size of an elementary school classroom.

I saw an automaton standing at the front end of the room.
"You've come at last!
The automaton opened its mouth.

The automaton shakes its head in denial.
"That name was given to me by a slave. I am the queen. Queen of automata.

"So you are the Golden Princess of Destruction, after all.
The Golden Destroyer looked at Anne as she spoke,
"There is still one more survivor, isn't there? I thought we had destroyed all the dolls that carried Adriana's lineage.

She spat.
Jin was watching the images sent from the magic eye in Machina's eye, which was projected onto the magic screen of Pegasus 1.
Even through the magic screen, the automata was beautiful enough.

Her waist-length golden hair, porcelain skin, and crimson eyes. Her proportions were near perfect.
But...

The words leaked out of Jin's mouth as if to interrupt his conversation. It came from Makina's mouth through the manacam, a magical elemental communication device.
"What do you mean by that?"
The Golden Princess of Destruction, who had overheard him, turned to Makina. Her eyes shine with a bewitching light. <

Under normal circumstances, Jin, who has no resistance to mental attacks, might have been immediately taken captive.
But Makina is not Jin. The images through the magic eye and the magic screen could not deceive Jin.

"Of course.

Reiko and Makina said at the same time.

"Yes. I am the best. That means everything in this world should bow down to me!"
The Golden Princess of Destruction said so triumphantly, and I could feel the madness in her voice.

"Yes, my dear ...... Makina-sama."
Makina-Hito and Reiko nodded at each other.
Reiko then stepped forward.

"............"
Reiko's question renders the Golden Princess of Destruction speechless. The madness disappears from her eyes.
But it is only for a moment.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up! You don't know what you're talking about! I am your mother's masterpiece! I am the queen of automata!"
She screamed and leaped at him. She then clamped her hands around Reiko's neck.
"I'm going to twist off your neck like this.... And then I'm going to rip off her hands and legs. Just like I've done to all my automata."

And the Golden Princess of Destruction exerts herself even more.
But against her will, Reiko is unconcerned. And then..,
"What are you doing?"

She said to the Princess of Destruction, as if to say, "I don't mind at all.
A look of astonishment came over the Princess of Destruction's face.
"Oh, oh, oh, you! You are the monster from the battlefield!

Reiko grabs both hands of the Princess of Destruction and easily shakes them off.
"I'm not a monster. I am an automata. My name is Reiko. I am at your service.
"You, you, you! You're Adriana's daughter!"

The Golden Princess of Destruction heats up even more. Reiko, on the other hand, remains calm.
"Yes. It was Adriana Barbora Tsezi's mother who made me. And Hitoshi Nido, my father."
"You have parents, huh? Are you kidding me? You said Reiko! I don't care about you, I don't care about you!"

he shouts, shakes his fist at Reiko and leaps at her. Reiko catches his fist.
"Stop wasting your time!"
But the Golden Princess of Destruction is unstoppable. Where is the swordsmanship and martial arts she has learned? She just swings her arms around and confronts Reiko.

She looks like a spoiled child.
"I said stop!"
"Kyaah!"

Reiko's fist blasts the Golden Princess of Destruction to the other side of the room. She slams into the wall, gets up, and with a dangerous gleam in her eyes, comes at Reiko again.
Her speed was a gale, but Reiko was faster.
The left fist of the Princess of Destruction collided with the right fist of Reiko.

The Princess of Destruction is blown away with a dull sound like "Gogan". Her left arm is almost torn off from the elbow.
"Ugh......! I knew he couldn't fix me completely!
Again, the Princess of Destruction comes at Reiko. Reiko meets her with a fist.

This time, her right arm was blown off at the base of her shoulder.
"Stop it already! You can't beat me."
Reiko says, but the madness of the Golden Princess of Destruction does not abate.

"Why, why, why! Why does Adriana always bother me! Why does she always torment me! Mother! Mother! Where are you!
Makina Jin whispered to her.

"Yes, it seems so..."
Reiko seemed to sense it too.
"I'll settle this."

Saying this, Reiko picked up the Vibration Sword.
And then,
"Rest in peace ......."

With these words, she slashed the Golden Princess of Destruction in a single horizontal motion.
The upper and lower halves of the golden Princess of Destruction rolled on the floor. But her mouth was still spewing words and she was trying to move with her only remaining left arm, which was missing from the elbow down.
"I am ...... the first. I am the ...... woman ...... king ....... I'm the mother......, the mother ......, the mother ......, the mother ......."

But his movements slowed, and finally the light faded from his crimson eyes.

Makina-Hito lets out a sigh.

For Jin, this was a very nerve-wracking act. It was even pathetic to see him spreading madness until the end of his life.
Would Reiko also be controlled by such madness if she made a mistake? It was Jin who made me think about such a thing.

"Yes, Ototo...... Machina-sama."
And the group left the room.
