''Hmm, so that 'divine Demon Poison' is a poison that reacts to the person Fuyao-kun likes, right?
By the way, I heard that me and Elka-kun are in trouble. I may not die, but I'd rather be unconscious or in a coma.

　Grinning, the Doctor turns to look at me. Konnyaro. It's kind of annoying.
　There was no way I could explain God's poo-poo, so I had to tell him that 'divine Demon Poison' was like that.
　It's toxic to me and the people I like, non-toxic to the rest of us.
　It's a bit irritating, but the doctor is right, it probably works on these girls too. If I had to say "like" or "dislike," the scales would be tipped toward "like. Even though the sight of this grinning little Dr. Younger Girl would make me feel hateful like hot water.

'So, we can't act in Isengard anymore. We can't send people to explore the interior.
Oh, yeah?　You don't need Brunhild to move.　For example, if you could send someone from 'Black Cat' who you've never even been involved with at all, you could at least look into it, right?
"...Huh?　I see. Can you do that?

　Somehow I thought I had to fight the mutants led by the evil gods, so I had to do something about it, but I see, if you just want to check it out, you can do that too.

'But it's still dangerous, you know. It's not a good idea to have someone else do it.......it would be a disaster if something happened.
Well, I don't know how I feel about it. So?　Golem would be unaffected by that 'divine demon poison',
Yes. So I was wondering if you could make a reconnaissance or scouting type golem or if you knew of any such ancient aircraft, the Legacy.

　Engineer Elka, who had been thinking, looked up and held up two fingers.

The problem is two. If the factory-made or my golems are sent out, they may not be able to perform as well as they could if their master is not with them. If you've seen the Soldat, you'll know this, but to begin with, a golem that isn't even an ancient plane can't make such complex independent decisions without a master.

　Mu........indeed. The iron machine soldiers who operated at a distance in the Horn Kingdom were terrible. If they couldn't move by self-judgment, they could even end up not being able to deal with unexpected troubles.

''Second. In that case, there would only be an ancient aircraft 《Legacy》, but the only ones capable of such self-judgment would be Golems that had accumulated many years of experience. In other words, it's a plane that already has a master and has been in operation for many years. The fact that it has been in operation for many years means that you are that much attached to that golem, so to have that golem sent to a dangerous land or to be given to us....
Master will not allow it.

　Most of the ancient aircraft, the Legacy, had been dormant when it was excavated. Because they hadn't been activated for a long time, they had lost their memories of the past and were reset in a pure state. From there, she learns a lot of things through her encounters with the Master.
　The three sisters I got, Golem, Ruby, Saffa, and Emera, also learned many things as time went on and became able to make decisions for themselves.
　I have no intention of sending those children, who don't have the ability to fight, out to Isengard, but even if they had the ability to fight, there's no way I'd send those children out to a dangerous land because someone else told me to send them out.
　Of course, even if they asked me to sell them, etc., I would refuse.
　Even Norn, Elka Engineer's sister Norn and Nia from "Akaneko" would never do such a thing to their golems, Noir and Rouge.

''What's going to happen...''
Would you like to acquire a Legacy, an ancient aircraft suitable for reconnaissance, and teach it a lesson?
While we're lingering, the other side might take some action. I'd like to get some information from them as soon as possible, but...

　They also say "the sooner you get around, the better", so I guess that's it. Or should I still ask someone around the "Black Cat" to send someone to scout the area?　But there's a high chance of encountering mutants and such. And if you don't have at least the strength of a red-ranked adventurer, then....

As for the rest........we could try to steal the experienced ancient aircraft, the Golem of the Legacy.
No, no. That's just the way it is.

　That would be a crime, though. I'm not going to take things from people, you know.

Of course I'm not going to rob all the good people. Of course we're not going to rob the good guys. A lot of them are stolen. It's just a matter of taking it.

　Oh, I see. Then it's... well, it's an ant?

"Hmm. I think I know what the Master means. Wings of the Dead.

　The Elka engineer Golem and Fenrir, who were lying on the floor of the Institute, raise their heads. Wings of the Dead?

The Wings of the Dead are a band of thieves that run the gamut in the Holy Kingdom of Arendt. They are a ruthless gang that has repeatedly attacked and robbed many villages. I'm sure you'll find it hard to catch these guys because they have the Golem, the ancient plane that Fuyao-kun mentioned, which is excellent for scouting and scouting.
Oh, I see. You want me to take the golems from them?

　It's somewhat of a thing, but the golems themselves are innocent. I can't say that there's no abhorrence in using things that criminals have been using, but we should be able to divide that up. You can't just let those people spread around.

I'm glad to hear that. "I'm glad that you're doing that, because it's my brother who's working for them.
'What?　Really?

　Fenrir wagged his tail and said something like that to me.

I think it's 'Anubis' and 'Bastet'. To be more precise, they're not so much Fenrir's family machines as their successors. I think it's fair to say that they are younger brothers and sisters since they are the same creators.

　The same as Fenrir's, so you mean the animal type?　It's true that if it's a golem that doesn't look like an animal, it might be perfect for scouting. No, though, if it's a wolf type like Fenrir, it could be defeated.
　If Fenrir would go to Isengard, it would be a quicker story.
　But Engineer Elka isn't from Brunhild, he's just a guest. I'm not shameless enough to tell him to send your precious golems to scout out dangerous areas.
　As I thought, I'll ask the bandits to hand over their two ancient aircraft, the "Legacy", to me.

But we don't know where they are. If they're a group of thieves, they're probably hiding so that the knights and others won't find them, and even if we use search magic to find them, we don't have a clue...
'A snake's path is a snake. Talk to the bandits about thieves. You know anybody who knows anything about it?
Oh.

　I remembered the figures the doctor was referring to and I immediately went to them.




Wings of the Dead, huh? We haven't met them in person, but I know most of the rumors. They are the scum that raids villages and robs them of anything of value they can get their hands on, then kills all the men and sells the women and children to the black market.
''Even if they are the same bandit group, their stance is fundamentally different from ours. I don't have that much information about them since we don't have any association with them at all, but I can tell you what area they are based in.

　Saying that, Nia, the leader of the righteous bandit group "Akaneko" at the inn "Silver Moon", and Est-san, the deputy leader, showed me a certain place.
　North of the Holy Kingdom Arendt on the new world map I called up, in the desert area near the Flame Country Tauburn.

Rumor has it that they have their headquarters here. They raid all sorts of places, but there's always a stronghold to bring back the treasures. There's also an oasis, and I think it's somewhere around here.

　Nia fingered one of the larger oases that dotted the desert.

'Do those 'Wings of the Dead' guys have any kind of landmarks?　I mean, that banditry is something you can judge.
'I'm told the members have a tattoo of a winged reaper on their shoulders.

　Nice. It's easy to see.

"Search. The one with the winged grim reaper tattoo.
"Searching..... Displaying.

　Stot-Tot-To-The-Pin falls on the map. It's a little scattered, but I guess this place where it solidified and fell is the stronghold 《Hiding Place》.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm sure the banditry business will be out of business if this is used.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. It's just that the magic culture in Nia's world isn't developed, so there's no way to counteract it. I'm sure that this will be filled in as soon as the two worlds interact.

　Those of us who don't yet know what's going on don't know that our worlds have merged.
　I'm sure that eventually there will be conflicts and clashes between the two worlds (the other one). We need to monitor and investigate Isengard, as well as have a meeting with the leaders of the main countries as soon as possible.
　Anyway, I heard that this bandit group is doing some pretty terrible things, so don't hold back. I'll capture them all and turn them in to the knights of the Holy City.
　I'll be grateful for your golems......
　........it sounds like we're a bandit gang. Well, we're all doing the same thing.




　In the decaying ruins on the banks of the oasis, the base of the bandit gang, the Wings of the Dead, was located.

"Te... Te... Te... Te... Te...　A tour de force of the Holy Kingdom?
No, but it's pretty close enough. I'm here to get you guys.

　The bandits who had been beaten down are lying around with white eyes. The only one left is this man in front of me.
　From the demeanor of the other guys who fell, I think this guy is the head honcho. And he's wearing a fine looking leather armor and cloak.
　By the way, the objective golems have already been captured by 【Prison】 and stored in 【Storage】. It seemed to be Fenrir's successor, 'Anubis' was a black dog and 'Bastet' was a golem that looked exactly like a black cat.
　Certainly if they used such a thing to spy on us, the information of the knights who came to capture us would be out of the loop.
　They attacked in conjunction with each other, but their fighting ability is also quite high, so it could be said that they are suitable for assassination.

The only thing I can think of is that they are looking for our bounty.　Then I'll give you more money than that!　I'm not lying!　Most of the money I've earned so far is here................──.

　I give a lowly smile and feel free to shoot a paralyzing bullet at the head of the bandit gang who is trying to pity me.

'Thanks, but I'll donate that guy to an orphanage later. Wish the kids well in prison.

　He piles up the bandits he has defeated and, like the assassination group 'Claw' in the Horn Kingdom, he says, "These are the bandits, 'Wings of the Dead'. We've been captured," he wrote on a piece of paper and transferred it to the Knight's Mansion.
　If you offer it properly, you'll probably get a bounty, but it's a bit of a hassle to go through the formalities and it's a bit of a hassle for us too, so let's keep it anonymous.
　It's not like the king of one country wants to go to another country to destroy the bandits in search of Golem. There's also the Holy Kingdom's men and women.
　In the room at the back of the ruins, I found the treasures that the bandit group had accumulated, so I stored them all in 【Storage】. The bandit's treasures will belong to the one who defeated them, so there's no problem. I'm going to donate the money and other items to the orphanage in the Holy Kingdom, but even if it's just this, it's a fortune. ........surprisingly, crushing the banditry is good for money.......
　It might be a good idea to incorporate this into the training of our order. You can get a bonus, and it's good for the world, but isn't that two birds with one stone?
　Well, this time I was able to find it because I happened to have some tattoos or something to mark it, but it doesn't work out that way every time.
　The sun was shining brightly on me as I retrieved the treasures and stepped out of the ruins.
　Why is the sun in the desert so hot and stuffy... hmm?
　I see a small dot in the sun.
　He leapt to the side and ducked the swinging scythe strike. The stone pillar at the entrance to the ruins was cut sharply at an angle and fell flamboyantly on the sandy ground.

''Gi........''

　Emerging from within the dust smeared on the dust was a golem with a disproportionate scythe on a small purple body. A purple 'crown', Fanatic Viola. So that means...!

I don't know why the bandits we're looking for are there, but Luna is super lucky!　I'm so happy to see you out here in the desert, Toyan!　I knew the thread of fate was tied around their necks!　I want to cinch it up!

　On the pillar of the unfallen ruins, the fellow was standing with a parasol.
　A doll-like girl with long hair like purple crystal "amethyst", dressed in gothic style clothing and a tiered skirt. Her eyes, which smiled happily behind her glasses, were filled with obvious madness.
　Luna Trieste. She's the master of the purple 'crown' called the 'Lady of Madness'.

''........Why are you here?''
Hey, no. Of course they wanted to kill each other, those old bandit men. The other day, I found a village that had been burned to the ground and all the villagers had been killed. It looked like fun, so I thought it would be fun to have some fun too. But I don't care anymore because you're here!

　Luna jumped down from the top of the stone pillar and discarded the parasol in her hand.
　No, it's part of the umbrella that I threw away, and the thin blade that was planted in the curved handle end and the middle bar gleams in the sun as it appears.
　Like a wrenching whip, the silver blade strikes me. Fast. It's not as good as Yae or Hilda, but it's pretty good.
　I avoid the silver flashes that are unleashed in every direction with a single piece of paper.

''Hahahaha!　That's awesome!　I'm not hitting it at all!　But it's not enough!　Come on, Touyan!　Cut, stab, pierce, punch, kick, gouge, kill me!
'Sorry, but I have no taste for that!　[Prison]!
Check it out.

　An invisible wall surrounds Luna and flicks the fine sword.

'Huh?　What is this?　The magic of Toyan?
''It's a binding magic [Prison]. That wall will never break. Give up.
Viola, can you do it?
"Gi

　The purple golem thrusts its scythe at 【Prison】. It's useless. A little bit, but 【Prison】, which also contains divine energy, can never be torn.
　Geez!　And then Viola's scythe is played with a dull sound. 'See.

You're right. All right, Viola, get out of the way. I'm going to do the same.
It's useless. Don't be a fool...

　With a poi, Luna's right arm, which discarded the fine sword, was immediately enveloped in dark golden metal. The 'it' that multiplied crisply remade the tip of Luna's elbow into a golden spear.

''Se-no!''

　Luna thrusts his right arm out and gahhhh!　''And a sound like metal hitting metal echoed across the desert, and the [Prison] shattered into pieces.

''Broken, broken!　Hmmm, that hurts!　When I use this power, it hurts like my whole body is being cut up. It feels so good I feel like I'm going to leak... it's hard to hold back.

　Oh come on, you're kidding me........
　Shards of lustrous gold protruded from every part of Luna's body in front of her. It was as if it was the dominant species of Frase itself.
　And from that body, the divine air of that evil evil god was indeed leaking from that body.
