However, Reiko was adamantly opposed to the idea of Jin going there himself, so Edgar Aaru and the RAND team went there.

They will be contacted as soon as they have something to say.
Two Falcons float 30 meters above Jin and the others, keeping a watchful eye.

Waiting is tedious.

Two automata appeared at the place where Jin, Erza, Hanna, Saki, and Reiko were.
"Whoa!
Jin and the others were caught by surprise, as they had not expected them to appear here.

Jin guessed that there might be a warp gate or a magic circle somewhere.
"...... I won't let your father touch you."
Reiko stands in front of Jin and the others, or rather in front of Jin. The two Falcons in the sky have their flux cannons aimed at the two bodies.

But...
"......Oh, I knew it!"

"......, this is ......!"
Suddenly, two of them kneeled down in front of Jin and the others.
What?

Jin was puzzled. But the reason is soon revealed.
"Adriana-sama ......"
"Lady Adriana ......"

The two automata had sensed Jin's magic pattern, which was the same as that of Adriana Barbora Zetsi, so Jin assumed that this was how they recognized him as their
However, the male automata was looking in a slightly different direction from Jin's. It was toward Hannah.
It was Hannah's direction.

"Oh, I knew it. ......"
It was Reiko who said those words.
"Father, Hannah looks just like your mother when she was young.

I had heard this before, but after learning about the former Leonard's people, I thought about it again.
I wonder if Hannah and her ancestors might be the same.

Reiko also walked up to the two automata and said to them.
"You two are my brother and sister, aren't you?

Reiko knew that it was Adriana Barbora Zetsi who had created the two automata.
"And you? ...... you are ...... too, aren't you?"
The female automata turned to Reiko.

Meanwhile, the male automata knelt down in front of Hannah and Jin and only looked up.
"Your magical power is the same as Adriana's. Your appearance is the same as Adriana's. You look just like Adriana. You don't have to say anything, that's all I need to know.
He looked at Jin and Hannah alternately, then stood up.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.
The two automata beckoned to the group.
The Landes and Edgar have not returned yet, but Reiko is with them, so Jin and the others follow them.

Jin already knows that these two automata are definitely the automata made by his predecessors.
In other words, Jin is able to stop them because they have the same magical power pattern.
Therefore, we know that there is no danger.

In fact, we can see that Reiko is following him without saying a word.
The two bodies lead the group to the shadows of the island rocks.

"Oh ......"
There they found a familiar magi-machine,...... a warp gate.
"You can go to the inner room from here."

Probably, it can be used with no problem if you have the previous generation's magic pattern.

I hate being single at a time like this.

The hall was small and spacious. From there, a small passageway led out.

"This way, please."
The male automaton led the group toward the passageway, as if it were a matter of course that they would follow him.
"By the way, what are your names?"

"We automata do not have names in the proper sense of the word. My name is M-012, which was changed to M-03. I am F-015.
I am F-015 renamed F-03-6. F-03-6.
"Well, I heard that used to be the case."

"M" stands for "Male" and "F" stands for "Female". I guess "M" means "Male" and "F" means "Female". Jin thought that Adriana, who had been taught by Shuki, would have used this name.
Reiko did not have a name in the original sense either. Her predecessors had called her Ochibi.
Names like Anne, Lol, Refa, etc. were also used as names of identification.

Jin wonders if there was some kind of taboo against giving dolls and artifacts the same names as human beings.

While Jin was thinking about the not so large underground facility, he seemed to have arrived at the room he wanted.
Two automata, one on the left and the other on the right, took charge of opening the double sliding door.
Please come in.

The two automatons urged first Jin and then Reiko to step into the room. Erza, Hannah, and Saki followed.
