　The town of Banne, in the Shoro Kingdom.

　It is the home of the Randall family, where Reinhardt was born and raised.

　Fried Randall von Reed, the head of the 2nd team at the headquarters of the Vanneh Guard, was furious.

　Of course, there had been a fraud in the town of Banne.

　He himself had heard from a magi engineer named Ludwig that he had purchased a golem for farming at a branch that called itself the six months ago, but that it had suddenly run out of control, which was an unbelievable problem.

　He tried to file a complaint, but there was no <> in Banne itself.

　This is clearly an act of fraud on the part of the <>.

　Just in case, we have received a message the other day that the broken golem has been preserved as evidence, so there seems to be no mistake.

Now, where should we start?

　Fried Randall thought to himself.

　His position is that of a team leader, which means he has four subordinates.

　Fried had just ordered them to gather any information they could find.

　And of course, he himself would be investigating, but he was a little unsure.

"Interviewing, or analyzing that golem: ......"

　Fried Randall, as his surname indicates, is of Randall descent.

　His ancestor was Fritz Randall von Grosch (the name of the noble family in the Shawlo Empire is first name, family name, (von, gift name)).

　He is a collateral descendant of the Randall family, which resides in Banne, but the two families are not on bad terms.

　However, Fried was not good at engineering magic, which is why he is now a member of the guard.

　In other words, we want to analyze it, but we don't have the means to do so.

"You said that the golem itself is kept in a workshop in Kaltz town.

　Fried decided to go there anyway.

"It's a workshop over there, so I could ask them to analyze it for me.



　The distance was only about 10 kilometers, so it would take about 30 minutes by horseback to get there.

"The Berlich workshop ...... and, yes, there it is."

　Fried visited the Berlich Workshop and asked for help with the analysis.

"I would like to help you, but we don't have a head or deputy head of the workshop ......."

　The head of the workshop, Berlich, was in and the deputy head, Ludwig, was out of town, so Freed's request could not be fulfilled by the apprentice who was on duty.



　And then..,

"Well, if you don't mind, could you let me do it?"

　I was in my early twenties.

　He was a serious-looking man in his early twenties.

"And you?"

Yes, my name is Artus, and I have been working as a temporary teacher here in the workshop since the day before yesterday.

"Are you able to do that, Mr. Altus?"

　The apprentice asked anxiously.

Yes, I can do it. ...... and I'm also very upset about this golem scam I've heard so much about. Please let me help you.

"Okay, I'll take you up on it."

　Fried decided to ask for help, since he was a competent, albeit temporary, lecturer and was outraged by the scam.

　There was a possibility that Altus had been sent by the fraudsters to destroy evidence, but Fried decided to trust his gut feeling when he said, "I am very upset about this golem scam.

"<><><>......"

　Altus ran the analysis over and over again while several apprentices came out to watch.

　And then.

"I understand a little. This was made a surprisingly long time ago. Roughly fifty years ago."

How did you know that?

"This material ...... is made partly of biomaterials, and judging by the degree of deterioration, I'd say it's about 40 to 60 years old. I judged it to be between 40 and 60 years old."

"So you're saying it's 50 years old."

Yes.

Then it was probably the League of Magic that created it. I've analyzed several of the golems they've made so far, and they all have one thing in common.

"I see."

　Fried was not familiar with magical engineering and did not ask what those characteristics were, but the apprentices did.

"So this is how you do it."

"......<< Analyze (Analyze)>> and << Read (Decompile)>> alternately have this effect: ......"

"A, Mr. Altus, what are the common characteristics?"

"That's easy. It's easy. ...... is how to use the Magi Formula here. I don't usually write in this way. At least, I don't know of any other golem in the <> that is written this way."

"I see. ......"

　Altus continues.

"Perhaps this golem was a prototype. Maybe a swindler or a group of swindlers found it and modified it a bit.

　It's a bit poor workmanship to be called a real product, concludes Altus.



"Well, that's very informative. Thank you, Mr. Altus!

　The three apprentices thanked him and went back to the office, probably realizing that this was an investigation by the security team.

　At the same time, they left Altus in charge of dealing with Fried.
