<...... and that was the way it went>.
The old man's report is still going on.

"This is ...... still a fully automatic magi-machine, isn't it?"

Victo found out that these magi-machines were not run by a magical brain, but were controlled only at the level of performing a predetermined action.
"So you just follow a program that makes fireworks for a year and then shoots them off on a predetermined date?
Perhaps the creators of the system did not have such a long period of time in mind.

"So, if something goes wrong, everything will stop, won't it?
For example, the system would run out of materials.
For example, some magi machines malfunction due to natural disasters such as thunderstorms or earthquakes.

For example, an intruder from the outside interferes.
It is naive to think that others cannot come in because you are also an intruder.

"Even though ......, it is a little bit strange considering the construction of this place."
If they can build a facility like this, why can't they build a magic brain or a golem, Victo thought.
So he stops moving and observes for a while.

One hour became two hours, half a day, a day passed. Still no change in the situation.
One day turned into two days, then a week, then a month.

Finally, the long-awaited change has occurred.
A golem with a human-like upper body but a cart-like lower body with four wheels appeared.
(What would a golem do? ......)

As Vikt continued to observe the golem, it inspected the hall, replenished its supplies, and disappeared again.
(I see, you have a maintenance system in place, albeit inadequate.)
From what I saw, the current golem for maintenance did not seem to have enough magical brain to make a self-judgment.

(That would not be able to cope with unexpected situations, let alone expected ones.)
It would probably reach its limits in about 10 to 20 years.

He decided that the old man should continue to observe the site with his <
"It would be nice to have a place where the maintenance golem won't clear out."

So we made a small hole in the floor in the middle of the hall, in an empty space, embedded the marker in it, and put the floor back to the way it was.
"That should do it."
Victo carefully walked out in the reverse order of his arrival.

Jin was satisfied because many mysteries had been clarified.

Since then, the old man said, he replenishes the supplies when they are about to run out.
"What, you knew all this from the beginning?"

"No, it's all right. It was fun to gather information to solve the mystery.
Although everything was at your disposal, in the end, you were the seasoning for the trip.

Neither Jin nor Erza were mature enough to criticize him for it.
Besides, Jin was not averse to taking over the wishes of the engineers who built the facility and maintaining it in this way. In fact, I would rather encourage it.
In that sense, I would like to give my compliments to the old man for a job well done.

"Where shall we go today?
They have no particular destination in mind.
"We could turn south at Lunark and go to the town of Loron.

Elsa suggested.
"Loron?"
The town we had once visited to save Istaris, Zion's sister.

"That sounds good, let's do that.
Jin agreed to the plan.

The distance from Coco to Lunark is about 18 km. The Golem car drove the distance in 30 minutes.
Instead of entering the town of Lunark, we turned left, that is, south, and headed south on the road.
It takes one hour to reach the town of Ramasa. From there, it took us two hours to reach the town of Trinthe, because we could not go as fast as we wanted because there were more people and carriages.

"It's a little early, but let's have lunch here.
"Hmm."
They parked the Golem car in a parking lot on the outskirts of the town, asked Hope to watch the car, and Jin, Elsa, and Reiko went out to the town.

The town of Trinthe is also a town on the highway, so it is quite busy in its own way. There were many travelers and many kinds of restaurants.
"Oh, ......<
Elsa spotted such a sign.

Erza says something like that.
Certainly, Jin could not deny that he was curious to see what kind of food would be served, so he decided to enter the restaurant as Elsa had invited him.

The time was 11:30 a.m. The restaurant was still empty, and Jin, Elsa, and Reiko were shown to a table for four in the back.
The waitress asked us to order "one Maggi Mai set meal, one daily recommended set meal, and one children's set meal".
Elsa placed her order.

Needless to say, Erza, who is not fond of coca-cola, had the Maggi-mai set meal, Jin had the daily set meal, and Reiko had the children's set meal.
