The only good news was the food reserves that Oranje had accumulated.

This was confiscated by the state, along with the food Oranje had stored in his estate. It will soon be returned to the Franzese people.

These events were immediately transmitted to the other countries by manaphone.

"......This is a great loss indeed."

"I didn't realize there was such an unexpected loss in human conflict."

It's a thought-provoking event.

In any case, this should quiet the continent down a bit.

"In any case, it will quiet the continent down a bit." "We should try to improve ourselves more," he said.

The reactions of the countries contacted are varied, but the common denominator seems to be a reaffirmation that fighting among one's own people is sterile.

Meanwhile, Lefort de Orange, the <>, was condemned in the newly born Kingdom of Franz.

The details of his execution, including his last screams, were reported to all the countries.

Others...... Dajour Harvey was sentenced to life in prison. However, because of his skills, he was placed under house arrest and put under surveillance while he developed various magical tools.

"Well, let him do what he wants, he's a harmless man. ......

This is what Chiharad Souto, whom I had known for a while, said.

Oranje's confidant, Bokker Ove, was executed along with his master at his own request.

"Even a man like that has loyal subjects. ......

the new king who witnessed the execution muttered with a complicated expression on his face.

......Finally, this is where our country begins."

After finishing the maintenance of the magic brain, Jin started to repair the two blue-haired automata. His assistants are Reiko and, unusually, Anne. Erza is observing.

"...... What a sloppy repair. Even if you don't have the materials to repair it, there are limits to what you can do.

From Jin's point of view, the repairs of Dajour Harvey and Bocker Ove were sloppy.

Another reason is that these two were not entrusted to the repair golem. However, it is questionable whether the repair golem could have done a better job.

"It's a little better than Anne's. It's probably a difference in the preservation environment."

"...... I suppose that's true."

Anne's expression is somewhat dark.

"There is less corrosion on the skeleton. Is this also a difference in the environment?"

Jin's eyes found a certain feature in the internal structure.

This automaton looks just like Anne. The other one is a little different, though.

Anne responded to his words.

"So you are right, aren't you?

"Anne, did you notice that?"

Yes, Goshujin-sama. This automata is from a production lot very close to ours.

Anne, who had knowledge from Jin, mentioned the term , but such a concept does not exist in this world yet.

"I see... So, in other words, we are really ..."

"Yes."

Anne said this, so Jin decided to finish first.

"Reiko, I need chromium and vanadium."

"Yes, father."

Chromium, vanadium, and other elements are added to the steel frame to make chromium-vanadium steel by alloying.

The base steel is slightly separated from the chromium vanadium steel so that the volume of the base steel does not change.

"Brother Jin, what are the properties of this special steel? What are the properties of this special steel?

came a question from Elsa, who was not an assistant but a visitor.

Vanadium increases hardness, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, and toughness.

Jin explains briefly. Jin has no idea how the metal atoms work to make it so. He just knows it happens.

"The muscular tissue is already in shreds. I guess they couldn't fix it because they didn't have enough material."

"Brother Jin, if I need anything, I'll get it, but..."

Oh, then I'll need the standard magical fiber.

"Yes, okay."

At the same time, Anne prepared some hexenbiest leather for the skin.

"Then we need to recalibrate the ...... ah, ether converter. ...... no, it would be quicker to replace it."

What was impossible for Dajur Harvey, Jin could do in a jiffy.

The reason for the exchange instead of readjustment is that the difference in the concentration of free magic element (ether) of one-third is too large to be caught up with by just an adjustment.

If it were the other way around, there would be no problem."

On the other hand, an ether converter adjusted for a low concentration of free magic element (ether) can be used at a high concentration without any problem.

"Reiko, please get me the magi crystals for the control core.

"Yes, I'll get it right away."

As was the case with Anne, the deterioration of the magi crystals for the control core could not be ignored.

We cannot afford to lose our precious knowledge of the past.

"<>"

In addition, by rebuilding the control core in this way, Jin is literally recognized as the <>.

Other repairs to the blue-haired automata, such as replacing the hair, eyes, and speech mechanism, and replacing the damaged clothes, were also completed.

Naturally, she also has a shield against <>.

"Thank you. I learned a lot."

Jin works slowly to show Erza. If he really tried, he could work five times faster than this.

"Okay, <>"

"......"

The blue-haired automaton woke up. Reiko moved diagonally in front of Jin to protect him, just in case.

"Nice to meet you, Master.

The automaton greeted.

How are you doing?

At Jin's question, the automaton bowed beautifully.

"Yes, I'm doing great. Thank you very much."

What is your name?

"My name is Lol. I'm looking forward to working with you.

"Yes, I'll be counting on you."

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



At that moment, Lol noticed an automaton behind Jin.

"...... are you by any chance?"

This question surprised not only Anne, but also Jin, Erza, and Reiko. They had thought it unlikely that mass-produced automata would know each other.

"Yes, I am Anne..."

"Yes, I'm Anne. Don't you remember me?

"Yes, unfortunately. ...... Actually, my control core has deteriorated so badly that some of my memories are missing."

"Oh, I didn't realize that."

Jin, who was listening to the conversation between the two sisters, made a smart suggestion.

"Anne and Lol, you can go over there and talk for a while.

"Are you sure, Mr. Goshujin?

"Yes, of course. I think it would be beneficial for us to exchange information verbally.

This was done with the understanding that if he did not say so, he would not be so reserved.

"Thank you very much.

"Thank you very much."

They bowed to Jin and moved to a corner of the workshop.

Jin decided to work on the other automata.

This time, Elsa and Reiko were his assistants.

Elsa, too, had seen the process once before, so she was less puzzled, and the repair was completed in a shorter time than Lol's time.

"<>"

"Yes, master."

This automaton was named Refa.

"Do you, by any chance, remember an automaton named <>?"

Jin asked, and the answer came back just as he had expected.

"Yes, it was an automata made at the same time as me.

"I see, I knew it."

Tia is an automaton that serves as a nanny to Rieschen, the third princess of the Klein Kingdom, and was once completely repaired by Jin.

Since the structure of Tia and Refa were similar, Jin wondered if she might be the same.

"...... Is there any reason for the naming?"

Elsa spoke up with an idea.

"Yes. I have heard that we have adapted our names according to when they were created."

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



"Anne and Lol, Tia and Lefa. ...... can kinda get the idea."

Ann, Rol. And TEAR and REFA.

Elsa's intuition was right when she imagined that the number of letters might have been changed for each lot.

"So Lol and Refa will be Anne's sisters.

Jin muttered with deep emotion. Refa heard this and responded.

"Who's Anne?"

"Yes, I'm talking with Lol over there. You should join us, Refa.

Yes, thank you.

Thus, three precious automata from the time of the Great Magic War were gathered under Jin.
