It was late at night when everything was over.

Jin took a bath, washed off his sweat, and cooled his burning body by the window.
"...... Jin brother."
Jin heard a voice behind him. It was Erza. Her hair was wet, indicating that she had just finished bathing. Her skin peeking out from her magi-silk bathrobe was a cherry-red color.

"Would you like to sit over here?"
Jin pointed to a sofa by the window, and Erza nodded.
"Nice breeze."

She said and sat down next to Jin.
The warmth of Elsa's body felt comfortable to Jin, who had cooled down a little.
"......"

A moment of silence passed. Jin was the first to speak.
"The night wind is already cold. I'll close the windows so the water doesn't get cold.
"......Yes."

Erza replies shortly. Then there is silence again.
This time, Erza is the first to speak.
"...... Jin, daytime ......"

Hmm?"
"Daytime, thank you. I'm glad you told me ...... you were okay."
"Oh, yeah."

"...... but am I still my brother Jin's sister ......?"
Elsa spoke in an even more traceable manner than usual. Her cheeks are red, but it's not because she's just had a bath.
"......"

When Jin was unable to answer, Erza continued.
"Brother Jin, I'm the one who started it. I know it was selfish of me. But right now, I want to be ...... more than a sister ...... to my brother Jin. That's how I honestly feel."
After saying this, Erza got up and was about to leave the room. But her hand was held down. Of course, it was Jin who stopped her.

"...... Jin, my brother ......?"
"......Erza. I'm going to tell you something. I ...... don't care ...... about you."
"Father!"

Suddenly Reiko spoke up. Jin comes to his senses and lets go of Erza's hand. Elsa stood still.
"......What's wrong, Reiko?"
Jin answers Reiko with a bit of confusion.

The "Mere Old Man" has called you.
"Oh, I see."
...... what's going on?"

Elsa, who looked as if she had just woken up from a dream, must have been curious about the word "contact from the old man," because she sat down again on the sofa and asked with a doubtful look on her face.
"Oh, yes. I'll explain later. I'll explain in a moment. ...... What's wrong, old man?"

The old man's voice came from the manacam.
"Yes, what is it? Did something happen?"

So the old man gave a brief account of the last five days ...... which he had not reported ...... since Jin came to Klein Kingdom out of concern.
"I see, so this Oliver merchant wants to hire a magi engineer.

Jin ponders for a moment. I'd like to go there myself, but I think it's impossible. Then .......
"Okay, I'll use deus ex machina.

The second generation body that I used the other day. It has more advanced functions and is indistinguishable from a human being. And above all, it can be directly controlled by Jin.
The old man usually controls it, and Jin can take over when he is free.

"Yes, please."
I can't just call myself a deus ex machina, can I?

"Well, ...... Erza, do you have any good ideas?"
Jin, who was not confident about the name, was fortunate that Elsa was there, so he asked her for advice.
"...... John Dinny."

"What?"
"JIN NIDOH" I replaced "JIN NIDOH" with "JIN NIDOH"
"Uh, JOHN DINI, huh? I see."

It may or may not be a good idea, but it is a fake name anyway. Jin decided to go with it.
"All right, old man, I'll go by John Dinny.

With that, the communication was cut off.
"I'm looking forward to ......."
Jin chuckles to himself. He was excited to imagine what kind of materials and technologies the different peoples would have.

Erza stared at Jin's profile, and then sat up.
"Elsa?"
"......I'm going to rest tonight. Good night."

Elsa bent down and kissed Jin lightly on the cheek.
Then she turned bright red and ran to her bedroom.
"......Good night."

Jin, frozen by the suddenness of it all, was finally able to say just that.

On the other hand, the old man is changing the appearance of Deus ex Machina 2 a little.

Since she is an automata to be used as a versatile substitute, her physique can be changed a little.
A substitute doll (double) whom you will introduce to Oliver, a merchant based in the town of Ismar, as your master.

If he is Jin himself, there is a possibility that he will be recognized by his physiognomy, which is a problem.
Brown hair, brown eyes. The old man thought that it would not be noticeable since it is a common color.

Should it be a golem carriage or an ordinary carriage? But since I don't own a horse-drawn carriage, I have already come to a conclusion.

Just to be safe, I will detune ...... to reduce the performance.
We have added a mode to make the operation more awkward.
Normal mode is the previous behavior.

A new downgrade mode has been added for cloaking. The user can take measures to reduce the performance at his/her own discretion. This mode can be toggled by a simple command.
The old man has mixed feelings when he sees the awkwardness of the golem horse when he makes it walk.

Nevertheless, this would serve the purpose of meeting Oliver and introducing him to the Magi Engineers.
The carriage itself will be a conventional one. It is equipped with a warp gate, which should be useful in case of emergency.
Even if it is not used, there will be plenty of opportunities to use it again, so it will not go to waste.

What is waiting for us beyond the desert?
I am looking forward to the day when I will report to Jin.
