It's that black box!
It has turned out just as Jin had feared. If this continues, it will either explode or melt down. Either way, the giant golem, an ancient artifact, will be lost.

Immediately, Reiko activated the magic canceller in her bracelet.
But the red heat did not stop.
"It seems the distance is too far!"

The disadvantage of the magic canceller, which forces the mana to be converted back into free magic element (ether), is that its range is rather short.
The one mounted on Pegasus 1 is equipped with a powerful magic source to extend its range, but Reiko's bracelet can only be used against enemies in front of her.
And the giant golem was a little too big.

"If I add my mana to it!"
Judging that the output was insufficient, Reiko immediately increased the output of the Magi Reactor in her body, and poured the large amount of mana she had generated into the bracelet.
The wave of the magic canceller, which had increased ten-fold, this time stopped the black box of the giant golem.

The red-hot exterior gradually darkens. It is a proof that the temperature is decreasing.
"...... Reiko, you did well."
"Jin-kun, your automata,...... No, thanks to your daughter, our country's treasures were not lost. I dare not ask how ...... you did it."

The exterior is turning black. Apparently, the mithril plating on the surface has been oxidized by the current overheating.
At that moment, Reiko's bracelet shatters with a crack.
Free ether is restored. Last resort: deactivation. Crisis averted. Self-defense level zero.

Upper arm 40% inoperable. Forearms inoperable 30 percent. Legs inoperable 20 percent. Progress is unobstructed.
The giant golem began walking slowly again.
"It still won't stop!

"Frequency adjustment ...... hmm?"
The magic power leaking from the control core of the giant golem is compared with the resonance, and Jin felt the resonance level slightly fluctuate during the process.
The problem is that the cause of this slight fluctuation is close at hand.

"...... Your Majesty?"
The unique magic power of the empress and the magic power leaking from the control core of the giant golem had something in common.
"...... or ......?"

A thought flashed through Jin's mind. If so, it would explain why the control device could not be found.
"Sire, I'm going to drop the airship a little more. After we do that, would you please order the giant golem to
"What? Jin-kun, is that ......?"

"Jin-dono! You're putting His Majesty in danger!
Flora, refrain!
But Jin had to concentrate on operating the airship and was in no condition to explain. The Empress, seeing his condition, put his questions aside and waited for the right moment to do what he asked her to do.

The airship descends to an altitude of 30 meters. The arms of the giant golem can barely reach it.
"Your Majesty, please..."
Standstill!

The command was truly the magic word.
Standstill order received. Standstill. Stand by.
The giant golem came to a halt just three meters from the city walls.

"...... was a close call!"
After confirming that the danger was over, Jin lowered the airship into the courtyard and landed with the emperor and the female knights.

After cleaning up the damage in the courtyard, he began to clean up the situation.
"It's no wonder there were no ...... maneuvering devices. Only the emperor's lineage can command a giant golem.
Jin explained that he had checked with a hastily made magic measuring device and had noticed that the unique magic power of the female emperor and the magic power emitted by the control core of the giant golem were of the same quality.

"I see. ......"
Her Majesty the Emperor, Prime Minister Jung, Minister of Magical Technology DeGauss, Magician Maestro Gebhard Ackermann, and Marcus all agreed with this explanation, They nodded their heads.
"I can't thank Sir Jin Nido enough. It was our decision to leave them out in the courtyard for the sake of appearances when he had advised us to return them to the basement in the first place.

The queen says in a regretful tone, and the Prime Minister nods.
"Indeed. I did not expect it to have such a function.
By such a function, I mean a self-destructive function that generates red-hot heat and then melts or explodes.

"I suppose it is a function for war, so that if it falls into the hands of the enemy, they will not be able to steal its secrets and cause as much damage as possible."
"That's a very advanced feature that is unthinkable with today's magical technology. ......"
"Can't we just remove or deactivate it?"

Prime Minister Jung muttered as he glanced at Jin's face.
The fact that only the emperor's bloodline can give orders means that the country itself would be in danger if the bloodline were to cease to exist.
It would be impolite to say

In other words, he had the right to enter and leave the palace without notification and to apply for a visit to the emperor without an appointment.
