The Shinobi troop left the warehouse with the golem that had brought the materials, and headed for another room.

The fact that they brought the materials out of this warehouse suggests that they are most likely headed for the factory.
That's for sure.

So, with high hopes, the five members of the "Shinobi Unit" followed the golem carrying the materials.

The golem carrying the materials enters what appears to be a large factory.

The five shinobi follow the golem carrying the materials and sneak into a room that looks like a factory.

It was a factory after all, wasn't it?
Yes, but what are they making? But what are they making?

It was indeed a factory. But they weren't making golems, as I'd hoped.

The conclusion to be drawn from this is, of course, .......
They're probably trying to make an automaton that looks exactly like a human being.

I'm sure of it.
...... And they all look exactly the same.
That's what's so distasteful about it.

It's as if they're making a standardized product, mass-producing nails, teeth, and eyeballs of the same shape.
Any sane person would find this eerie.

Knowing that, we can predict the performance of the automata to some extent.

It is decided that the next target of the search is an assembly factory for automata.
So we decide to return to the materials yard and look for a golem heading for another factory.
