Korun's very capable.

Yes. We've already completed the construction of the intermediate level facilities.

And the advanced facilities?

Yes.

Let's just let him try one first and see how it goes.

All right.

Okay.

Jin-dono, we've been instructed to try one more advanced facility first.

"Depending on the results, will you be able to entrust me with other facilities as well?"

I think so.

I think so. What do you want me to do?

First of all, follow me.

Here we are.

Where are the materials?

In the back room.

　But this time, it was not so easy.

　Metal materials and magicrystals were fine, but some of the materials were made from demonic materials, in other words, biological materials.

　Naturally, the materials in the warehouse have deteriorated.

　Specifically, they were materials for muscles.

"You use synthetic materials, so why don't you use synthetic materials for the same type of machine?

　For example, Reiko, if we were to prepare a spare for her, the specs would probably be inferior to the original.

　Jin's doppelgänger (doppel) maintains five golems while thinking such a thing inwardly.

(Is there a < attached to this one? ......)

　Jin thought that it was useless to attach a < to a spare machine that might not work anytime soon.



"It's done."

　About two hours later, the maintenance of the five machines was completed. Jin himself would have finished in less than an hour, but there was no reason for him to work that hard.

　I also thought about what I could get out of it, but I didn't get anything in particular.

You are still very good. ...... If I do well now, I might be able to get a higher facility. But it also means you'll never leave here again.

I see. So you can't let anyone who knows your secret go free.

That's what it means. What do we do now?

"I don't think we can leave. Let's show them the advanced facilities.

You seem to be quite capable. It's too good to leave you as an inhabitant of this planet.

You're the brains of this island?

Yes. I'm also the administrator of this planet.

Yes. Laco, you say? You don't care what happens to her, do you?

What?

If you don't do what I say, I won't be able to guarantee Laco's safety.

We already have Laco.

　Jin makes a surprised voice on purpose in the cockpit of Horaijima.



　He had already received a report from Reiko that the room where they were waiting had been covered with steel walls before they knew it.

　This means that they are planning to use Reiko as a hostage to force Jin to do what they say.

"So far, it seems that they think that I ......, or rather my alter ego (doppelganger) and Reiko are human."

First, let's get this facility's Magni Reactor serviced, shall we?
