The mock battle was declared over.
The winner is, of course, .......
A draw!

What?
How is this a draw?
"It's a draw!" "It's a draw!" "It's a draw!" "It's a draw!"

The referee, Hugues Anlocq, the vice-commander of the Kingsguard, was unperturbed and bowed to the king.
"Hmm . ...... a draw for lack of a decision?"
King Adalberto Nimmo Elias I nodded knowingly.

"Heh, Your Majesty!"
Citranella de Zaus Firenziano, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic and Technology, was about to say something,
"Florenziano, the vice-commander of the Kingsguard is a professional fighter. You must not question his decision.

The king said to him, "You must not dispute that decision," and he swallowed the rest of what he said.
Meanwhile, Jin and Tomax Bartman said to each other

"Jin-dono, I think that the Volk won this mock battle!
Tomax responded, "No, it was the Volk that won,
"No, it was originally a mock battle to check the performance, so I think it's better not to assign a winner.

Jin is apparently unconcerned.
Jin-dono, are you sure?
Tomax said, and Jin nodded silently.

The ministers were divided into 20% in favor of the decision and 80% in opposition, with about three of the 20% in favor arguing for a draw.
In fact, Jin had an idea that this farce would happen.

However, I am at a loss to make a decision at this point.
（If so, the new king may be quite a raccoon.)

By the way, there is no animal equivalent to a raccoon dog in Arus. There is a related species, the tagun, which is an omnivorous animal that looks like a badger, a raccoon, and a civet divided by 3.
Of course, they don't beguile people, so you can't say <

I'll leave you to talk about it.
So, although Jin was somewhat, or rather quite annoyed, he was interested in what kind of attitude the new king would take and what kind of measures he would take.

I have indeed received the gift of my accession to the throne. Magecraftsman Jin Nidor, I thank you.
Once again, the king's words echoed through the drill hall, first in flurries and then in louder and louder thunderous applause.
Everyone knows who the winner is. Everyone knows whose golem is the winner.

And so did Fiorina de Dorante, Minister of Magical Technology, and Citranella de Zaus Firenziano, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magical Technology.
Only Hugues Anlocke, the vice-commander of the Kingsguard, had his face contorted into an ugly expression.
In fact, he was the lion's share of the kingdom of Elias. <

After the ceremony, the king and the royal family go up to the royal castle first, followed by the ministers and the guests. The general public is last.

Jin and Tomax Bartmann go to the castle, guarded by 10 knights of the Kingsguard. A party is scheduled to be held at the castle afterwards.
Jin and the others slowly make their way to the castle in the same car as before.

Just before the castle, the car suddenly stops.
The central avenue widens into a multi-purpose plaza in front of the castle.
"What is it?"

The driver shouted in impatience, but the car remained stationary.
"What's going on?
Why isn't it moving?

The knights escorting the car are puzzled by the fact that the car has stopped moving even though there is nothing wrong with it from the outside.
......That's why you can't trust such a thing as a "Magi Machine"!
A voice rings out from nowhere, and a deformed golem appears.

The figure barely resembles a person. It has no head, and its head rests directly on its shoulders.
Its body was as thick as a barrel, and it had three supporting legs. It had three legs to support itself and six arms.

It popped under the knights' feet. Pale sparks flew.

You stay back! It's the guests we want!
Don't be stupid! It's a disgrace to the Kingsguard to put our guests in danger!
I don't care if you get hurt in the process.

The misshapen golem unleashed another Thunderbolt.
It struck the lead knight's horse. The horse fell over, unable even to make a sound.
The knight on the horse is thrown to the street and does not move, probably paralyzed by the aftermath of the thunderbolt.

I have lessened the force of the bolt, so the horse is probably not dead. Heed my advice.
The misshapen golem said in an arrogant tone.

Two shadows stand in front of the car in which Jin and Tomax are riding.
"I wondered where they were going to attack us, but here they are."
One is the figure of a small girl, Reiko.
