As for the golems, the sooner we call in the experts, the better.
　That's why I pulled an Elka engineer from Babylon. In addition, I even got the doctor to come with me, but I didn't have a choice. Fenrir was undergoing maintenance, so he's staying behind.
　When I took the two of them back to Leafreth's infirmary, His Majesty, the young Emperor of the Galdio Empire, Lucretion Boy, the Leve Frontier Count, and Emperor Leafreth were waiting for me. They are surrounded by their attendant knights.
　Mistress Imelda (and Golem, who looks exactly like her) is lying on a pure white bed. At first glance, she still looks like a human.
　Engineer Elka opens Miss Imelda's eyes, looks into them and pokes her throat with his finger.

I'm sure this is an anthropomorphic golem. It's also quite elaborate. Is it the "Fleurage" series?　Yeah, I knew it.

　When Engineer Erca rubbed a wet handkerchief between his collarbones, a faint, flower-like seal floated up. A foundation of some sort was used to keep it from being visible.
　Next, Engineer Elka took Miss Imelda's wrist. He stabbed a point on her wrist with what looked like a small needle that he had taken out, and with a crisp, small sound, the back of her hand opened like a lid.
　Inside, she could see several clear threads with tiny light flowing through them, and what looked like a round crystal. This must be it. She's Golem.
　In the meantime, the other participants also asked Amber and her family members to check it out, but there were no anthropomorphic golems. Golems don't have a human scent and they can be identified by it. I'm glad they didn't send more than one.

'I can't believe it was really a golem...'
What the hell is going on here?　For what purpose did you send a human-like golem into this hall?

　His Majesty Emperor Liefries crosses his arms with a difficult face with the Lucretion boy who remains startled and turns his gaze to His Majesty Emperor Galdio. Although His Holiness the Pope's Highness's magical eyes revealed that His Emperor's Majesty wasn't involved, but this Miss Imelda was still a participant in the Galdio Empire.

''We are currently investigating that in our home country. I have sent someone to the Count Trios family in the imperial capital, Garlesta, to investigate. We'll be in touch soon...

　I heard a call from the other side just as His Majesty Emperor Galdio was talking to me. When he moved away from us for a bit, His Majesty took out a smartphone from his pocket and started talking to the person who would be in his home country.
　The mass-produced smart phones that Dr. Wells has created are given to the representatives of each nation, their families, and their senior ministers. It's useful because it can be used for contacting people in cases like this, after all.
　I often hear that handing over the phone made the king and his senior ministers busy with their work, but that's just the way it is, so I hope they give up.
　His Majesty the Emperor returns after finishing the call.

''I heard that Miss Imelda of Count Trios' family has been found in the closet in her room. Fortunately, she appears to be in a non-life-threatening condition, but I understand she is still in a coma. We can't say for sure yet, but it's very likely that the golems have been replaced regardless of the Countess Trios.

　Hmm. But it's also possible that the Countess staged it to get away with it. Even if that's the case, I don't understand the purpose of it.

What kind of house is this Count Trios family?
A family with a long history of loyalty to the empire, and the current head of the family is a worthy man. The current head of the family is a worthy man, and I have entrusted him with one of the educational institutions in the Imperial City.
''Bo, I........no, I met Count Trios many times when I was the Crown Prince. He was a serious and kind person. Probably not related to this golem........

　His Majesty Emperor Galdio, who answered my question, gets a follow-up from the Lucretion boy. It seems that the Countess Trios family is White. Although all suspicions have not yet been cleared........
　Else takes a closer look at Miss Imelda's face as she lies there asleep.

''Is this just like her?　Can an anthropomorphic golem's face be reshaped to your liking?
To a certain extent. You can usually make a woman look better with makeup and stuff, right?　Unlike humans, we can deform our skeletal structure, shape, and fleshiness a bit.

　At Engineer Erca's words, Sakura and Else stared at Miss Imelda's two raised water nectar peaches with a jittery look.

''........It's not fair.''
It's not fair...

　No, I don't know if that's the same as you. Oh no. This is not a good trend. I tried to divert the topic from the subject and spoke to His Majesty Emperor Galdio.

'Seriously, though, couldn't you tell by the way he spoke or acted that it was a fake?
''Miss Imelda of the Countess of Trios is not a person who doesn't attend many social gatherings. I hadn't seen her in five years, and she's grown up, I can only assume she's grown up.... And I had a vague picture of her.

　Averse to socializing. Maybe that's another reason why he was targeted. It must have been better to replace him with someone who is not in the know, right?

"Well. Then we need to get the information from this Golem himself.

　Dr. Babylon looks at Miss Imelda as she lies there, twitching the aromatic pipe in her mouth.

'Is it safe to reboot this girl? Is she going to attack us?'
There's a possibility of that, but the anthropomorphic form of the "Flower Fleurage" series isn't that strong. If you're worried, do you want me to tie them up just in case?

　As the doctor let out an uneasiness, Engineer Elka took out a sturdy-looking rope from the toolbox he had brought with him. Why is that in there........

''Listen, why don't we override this kid's contractor [master] privileges first?

　I suggested what I had been thinking about earlier to the doctor and engineer Elka. If someone becomes the new contractor, there's no need to tie them up, and I can ask them why they did this.

''Hmmm. In other words, Fuyao-kun should take the G-Cube out of this girl.
'What?　Well, yeah, but....
I understand how you feel. I know how you feel, but I'm also very curious to see what happens to the tits of the anthropomorphic golems.
'No!　I'm not with you!

　In order to open Golem's chest hatch, he would naturally have to remove his clothes. But that's a means, not an end, you know!

Would you like to have a word with me over there, sir?
"No, Your Majesty, you can't do that in front of your wife and me...
Wait, wait!　Because it's not!

　He was gutted by his two wives from both sides and almost taken away.
　Seeing this, Engineer Erca gave the doctor a light chop to the head.

'Hey, Regina. Don't tease the newlyweds.
Well, I just thought I'd add a dash of spice to the marriage.

　It's not a joke. That's not spice, that's poison. Don't say anything that you wouldn't have done in time.

I'm going to make myself the contractor, as a provisional matter. You're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. See, the men are looking that way, they're looking that way.

　At the urging of Engineer Elka, only I, King Lefries, Emperor Galdio, the boy Lucretion, and the male knights in charge turn to the wall at once. I guess it's better than Dr. Pervert becoming a Contractor [Master].
　I wondered if I should leave the room, but it looks like it will be over soon, so it's okay.
　You can hear the sound of rustling clothes. The doctor and his men are probably undressing Miss Imelda. Oh, I knew I should have left this outside. The door is on the other side of the back, and it's a bit difficult to leave now.
　There is a sound as if you are removing something with a crack.

Wha........!
Wow. You've done some nice things. It's almost as big as a flora. Hmmm, it's very soft, just like the real thing. Come on, Else, feel it.
Wow, wow...!　What's this thing made of?　I can't believe it was made up...!
It's heavy...!　Ugh..... I can't win. We can't win this........

　I can't help but feel indebted to the women's conversation that comes from behind my back. Should we have left after all?
　It's still fine for us, but Lucretion's eyes...well, his ears are poisonous. Look, even his ears have turned red and he's looking down.

''I'm sorry, but make it quick. His Majesty and the others have to get back to the party.
Okay, okay, okay, I get it. [Open]

　Following Engineer Erca's words, there was a crush and a sound like air being let out. The chest hatch seems to have been opened.
　I could hear a clinking sound inside, and it's likely that he's taking out the G-Cube and overwriting the contractor's "master" authority.
　Even if I put the overwritten G-Cube back in place, Miss Imelda won't wake up until I open the nerve line that I closed with 【Cracking】.

''That's it. Now we just need to get her dressed. Hmm, it's too much trouble, so no bra.
Hey....

　I shove the troublesome Elka engineer with my back turned to him. The boy beside me, Lucretion, blushing, closed his eyes and mumbled something mindlessly. 'Don't disturb the boy's mind any more.

''Yes, yes. This weapon is a sight for sore eyes, you know. I'll be wearing it properly. Mmmm.........it's still heavy.......

　So I didn't need those impressions.
　When I turned around after receiving permission from the ladies who had finally finished their work, I saw Miss Imelda lying on the bed with the ribbons, necklaces, etc. removed from her chest, somewhat undressed, but still lying on the bed as she was.

''Well then, Fuyao-kun. Can you open the neural circuit, the Nerve Line?
Okay.

　I put my hand on the back of Miss Imelda's neck and activated [Cracking] to open the closed neural circuitry 《Nervline》.
　Miss Imelda Bikun, twitched widely for a moment, then snapped, and opened her eyes.
　However, there was no light in her eyes, and while she kept her gaze moving restlessly as she scurried around, she felt like she wasn't looking anywhere. His whole body twitched in fine detail, as if he was having some kind of seizure.

'Hey, you're okay, right?'
The closed nerve lines have suddenly opened up, and I'm just processing the information that's been stored. It will subside in time.

　It's okay, though. I'm a little worried when the human-like golems are in this state.
　Soon, Miss Imelda stopped moving and raised her upper body and a completely different mechanical voice came out of her mouth.

The model number FR-006, Hydrangea, has been deactivated. It's in working order. The master's registration has been changed and the previous master's record is...
'What?　Oh, my God!　Fuyu-kun, close that kid's circuits again!
'What?　Wow, okay!

　I hurriedly touched Miss Imelda's neck while panicking at the screaming Elka engineer and activated 【Cracking】 again. With a crunch, my head falls off and Miss Imelda stops moving again, as if she has lost her mind. What the hell, what the hell?

"Erase the record....maaaayyyy...

　There was still some interminable audio leaking out when he stopped moving, but it stopped too.

''We've been hit........ I didn't think they were working on the Q Crystal...!　If you think about it, she's a scout. If you're on a reconnaissance mission, it's only natural to have insurance in anticipation of this happening. I missed it.

　Engineer Elka clicks his tongue in frustration. Oh, what do you mean?

Basically, the memories of the ancient plane Legacy's golems are recorded in the Q-Crystal in its head. This brain, which is made up of fine crystalline blocks, has several layers of memory, and the basic actions of a golem, such as obeying the contractor master and defending oneself, are stored there, so that the basic I can't erase them. But who the Contractor [Master] is, what orders he received, and other daily temporary memories are stored in a different block...
''Haha. Does that mean that this child's contractor [Master] has made sure to erase it?　Perhaps it was supposed to be triggered when the master privileges were rewritten.

　Engineer Elka nodded at Dr. Babylon, who took over the words. What? That means he reset his memory!

Normally I wouldn't do that, because it would mean losing years of experience. The reason being that it would mean losing the experience you've gained over the years. To begin with, only a handful of people can tamper with the Q-Crystal of the ancient aircraft Legacy, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't.

　The golems of the ancient plane Legacy are sometimes excavated from ruins. Since most Q Crystals lose this part of their crystals when they stop functioning for several stars, it is common for excavated golems to have no memory of their past.
　However, high-spec aircraft, such as the "Crown" series, sometimes retain their memories. Youmina's white 'crown' albs is one such example.
　Well, even Arbus had a trap where if a non-adapted person opened the hatch, the "reset" ability would be triggered. It's the same thing.

...Does that mean that the clue to the mastermind is gone?
I'm sorry. It was my mistake. If I had thought about it for a minute, I might have realized it was one of the possibilities.

　Hmmm, I was the one who said we should rewrite it. I'm feeling a bit responsible.

But I think we may be able to narrow down the culprits to a certain extent, since there are really only a few Golem engineers who can tamper with the Q-Crystals. Well, it's also possible that they are being blackmailed into cooperating with you.
So it's still the Five Great Meisters?

　When His Majesty Emperor Galdio asked Engineer Elka, she gave a small nod. ''Five Great Meisters?　The Lucretion boy tells me as I ask him back.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to say that I'm not the only one. The Elka Engineer is also called the 'Restoration Queen' and is one of them. Oh, although it's the five greats, one of them died recently, so there are actually four of them.
Is that so?
What are you talking about? Fuyao-kun is the reason for that.
'What?　Me!

　I was truly surprised by the dumbfounded voice of the Elka engineer. Oh, what did I do!

'You see, the Mage King of Isengard. That old man was one of them.

　Oh, that kind of.... So he was one of the top five engineers in the underworld even for someone like that? It's true that, aside from his personality, he was able to resurrect the giant Golem the decisive weapon of war, Hekatonkeyl, in the modern era, and I have to admit that he has the ability. That old man also uses an artificial Golem as a shadow warrior.

Aside from the Magoo King and the Elka Technician, where are the other three?
"One of them is the 'Professor'. You've met Fuyao-kun, haven't you?

　Ah, that old man who was held captive by that group of Euron's assassins, huh? It's true that he built five simple golems with a few materials, but his skill is extraordinary. I heard that he went on a trip after the incident, but where is he now?　You're not gonna get caught again, are you?

I don't think the Professor has anything to do with this. I heard that he's staying in the palace of Panachez for routine maintenance of the Blau.

　Oh, you're at Pumpkin Pants'
　The blue crown "Distortion Brau" held by the Panachez royal family. It seems that I've been welcomed into the royal palace for its maintenance.
　Basically, when it comes to the ancient aircraft "Legacy", the highest level of the "Crown" series, there are only a limited number of meisters who can handle it. Is it natural? When the Rouge was broken, Nia also asked Elka engineer to repair it.

''What about the other two?''
This is why neither of them have been seen in the last two weeks. The Maestro is a misanthrope, and the other one... well, one person, or a group of people... but the Search Engineers Seekers couple are a bunch of windbags, so I don't know where they are. .....

　So either of them are likely to have been involved in the swapping of Miss Imelda. They could have been tricked or threatened into doing it, though.

'So that's all the clues we have.... I don't know what the purpose is, but maybe we should consider ourselves lucky that there was no harm done this time.

　Emperor Liefries murmured ruefully. In the meantime, I asked the Elka engineer for his characteristics and searched for them on my phone, but I couldn't find them. He said that they must have some sort of protective gear to escape the exploratory golems.
　They don't want to show off either of them. It seems that the arms of the five great meisters are what they want everywhere. I guess they're trying to avoid persistent solicitation.

'It's no use. We'll look into this later. We can't just leave the party hanging.
Oh, um...

　When Emperor Liefries was about to cut him off, the Lucretion boy timidly raised his hand. Hmm?

Wow. I, uh, you know, maybe I can get some more information.
"Information...?　Oh, right!
The Great Eye of Remembrance!

　His Majesty Emperor Galdio and I looked at each other.
　The boy Lucretion, formerly the Crown Prince of the Galdio Empire, has the magic eye. He has a magic eye called the Magic Eye of Remembrance, which can recognize residual human thoughts that remain on objects. He's a kind of psychometrist, a matter-sensitive person.
　Using this ability, you can find out who was involved in Miss Imelda's affairs. It seems that what I can see is fragmentary, but that's enough to make me grateful.

''You should have told me earlier...''
''Well, my magic eye doesn't easily activate unless someone has touched it with strong thoughts.......'' Here, in this case, I think I have to touch Miss Imelda, but then.......
'Oh, I see you have to touch your tits. I see. You're young, boy.
I don't need you to tell me that.

　Dr. Babylon, who is younger than he is if only by looks, grins at him, and Lucretiaon turns bright red to argue with him. Uh.........boy. That guy, in case you're wondering, is the oldest of these guys.
　If you're Lucretion boy's age, it won't be s*xual harassment just barely........ Well, before that, the other person isn't human. No, it seems that Golem also has feelings, so it would be s*xual harassment after all.
　However, His Majesty Emperor Galdio was showing some difficulty. Because of his position, he has been asked by the former emperor to take care of Lucretion boy, so he's a bit of an educationally unacceptable thing to do.... That's tough.

''Then we can do this.

　Else undoes the wide ribbon that held her long hair together and walks behind the Lucretion boy to blindfold him.
　Although it's called a demon's eye, it doesn't mean you're seeing with actual sight. The point is, as long as you can touch it, there shouldn't be a problem with the blindfold on.
　If this is the case, well, His Majesty the Galdio Emperor also gave me permission.

'Yes, yes. You men, face that way.
Not again....

　As we turned our backs, the voice of the Lucretion boy, who was probably led by the doctors to touch our breasts, arrived in our ears, ''Wow, soft.......''
　I wonder if this is good, really. I can't help but feel that the blindfold would have a bad effect on the boy, because I imagined all sorts of things.......

'Oh, I can see it. .........This is........!

　The boy Lucretion seems to have grasped something. The stronger the thought at that time, the stronger the residual thought burns there, so I don't think we can see the thoughts of the doctors just now...................no, wait. Maybe they were filled with evil thoughts. Will he be okay with such thoughts........

''Well I didn't see everything, but I did understand some of it.

　While I'm worrying about something I don't need to worry about, Lucretion Boy's psychometry seems to be over.
　The Lucretion boy removes his blindfold in front of Miss Imelda, who is lying there fixing her clothes.

'And what did you see?'
What I could see was a pile of golem parts and two intersecting hammers drawn on a flag...
What?

　The words startled Emperor Galdio, and the Lucretion boy gave a small nod.

''The hammer flag?''
''Hey......... Fuyao-kun, you're the king of a country, right?　You should at least learn another country's flag.
I'm sorry...

　I received a dismayed voice from Engineer Elka. Huh?　I remember taking a quick look at it, though.

"There is only one flag with a crossed hammer in the world. It is located next to our Galdio Empire, the second heaviest demonic industrial kingdom after the magical engineering nation of Isengard...
"Steel Nation Gandiris...

　The squeezing voice of the Lucretion boy echoed in the room as Emperor Galdio's words were carried on.
