Garik Ash jumps out and is followed by of the .

Garik untied the rope holding his carriage, jumped on, and hurried to leave.

It is already night. There are only a few streetlights using magic lamps, but it is already dark.

The speed of the carriage is a little faster than on foot, and it is not difficult for , who has good night vision, to keep up with it.

The carriage drove towards the outskirts of the city.

When the carriage reaches the castle wall, it continues to run along it. The direction is south.

Esia, the capital of the Kingdom of Cerroa, is a city surrounded by five layers of walls.

The innermost wall, the fifth wall, encloses the castle itself, and the fourth wall, which serves as a defense wall, lies outside the fifth wall, between which is the city of Esia.

The area outside the fourth wall, surrounded by the third wall, is large and has a military drill ground. There is also a town and people live there.

It is along the third wall that Garrick is now driving his carriage.

The gates are closed at night, so no one can go out without permission.

(I wonder how far they are willing to go?)

(How far do you think you're going?) As the following thinks this, the carriage comes to a halt in the dark, out of sight.

"......We're screwed!"

Garik looked up to the heavens as he muttered to himself.

"I never thought they would mention Ganno-Asher's name.

He looked around to make sure no one was chasing him and moved to the back of the truck.

"I don't know if I can meet up with my brother ......."

With these words, he pulled out a piece of armor.

The gesture showed that the armor was light.

"Well, it's not enough, but I'll make one."

Garik opens the lid of the barrel containing the pile of and pushes the armor inside.

As Jin had guessed, the armor was made of foamed metal, and was to be used by soaking it in the fluid metal, as was proven here.

<'s vision, the old man records the scene.

One piece of armor has absorbed half a barrel of fluid metal.

It turns a dull color.

"That's it. "

Following the key word, the armor begins to move, and he emerges from the barrel under his own power.

"I'm going to rest. Watch the perimeter.

With that command, Garik lies down in the corner of the back of the truck, wrapped in a blanket.

All that remains is silence.

remains still and waits for tomorrow.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

it is. ......

It is already midnight on Horai Island due to the time difference. Jin and Erza are sleeping.

But the old man does not sleep. He is recording and analyzing the information sent to him.

<>

As of now, Garik Ash is not a criminal. Especially here in the Kingdom of Selroa.

<, he cannot be charged with a crime in the Kingdom of Egelea unless he is wanted internationally.

Since it was not an emergency, the old man did not want to resort to strong measures. Mainly for the honor of Jin.

Garik is believed to have some kind of connection with Jix who is in the guest house.

The old man decided to wait for the next day.

The night dawned with mixed feelings.

After a night of mixed feelings, the morning of August 1st came.

It was already dawn in Horai Island, and both Jin and Erza had finished their breakfast and were watching what was going on.

In case you are wondering what is going to happen, the doppelganger had decided to leave the kingdom of Selroa to the doppelganger.

First, Garik made his move.

The time was approximately 6:00 a.m. The summer sun was already well up. The summer sun had already risen long enough.

"Ah, morning. It looks like no one was chasing us."

The road is cobblestone paved in many places, so it is difficult to make rut marks even when driving a heavy carriage.

"Now, how are we going to meet up with my brother?"

He pulls a piece of dried meat out of his baggage and begins to nibble on it.

"I think ...... it was a mistake to run away so early," he says. He ...... Lukor, you say, he's not a problem, but there was a guy helping him ......."

Gulik drank from his canteen, wiped his mouth, and thought again.

"...... Anyway, I'll have to be at the designated place to keep in touch with my brother."

He untied the rope holding the wagon and sat down on the dais with the golem.

Listen, you need to learn how to drive a carriage."

Without hearing any reply, Garik started the wagon.

After about ten minutes of driving, he decides that the golem has learned how to drive, so he moves to the back of the wagon and pulls a blanket over his head.

"Now he won't recognize me at a glance.

So the carriage turned 180 degrees and started to go in the direction from which it had come last night. The goal was the parking lot of the golem competition (gompetition).

The two sides of the road are the Kingdom of Selroa and the Kingdom of Sellore.

On the other hand, Jix, aka of the Second Guest House of the Kingdom of Selroa, is already up and getting ready.

He was already up and ready to go.

"Well, I wonder if Ganno's here as planned.

Declaring that he was going for a walk before breakfast, Jix went outside and went to the parking lot for the golem games (gompetition).

"Oh, you're here, Ganno.

"Brother. Oh, my God. I've gotten myself into a lot of trouble, but it's all going according to plan.

I see. Good. Did you make the ......1 body?

Jix asks, looking at the dull-colored golem playing the role of a guardian.

"Yeah. I told you it would be a hassle.　I had to make them for that reason.

"Well, that's okay. I think I can make about ten more.

"Yeah. The barrels and their contents are safe.

Garrick, who was called Ganno, tapped the barrel.

"Okay, everything is fine. I have a meeting with the king of the land at nine o'clock. He will call you here then or later.

"Okay. I will wait for you until then.

After this conversation, Garik......, or Ganno, said a word of caution.

"Okay. I'll wait until then. ......Oh yeah, watch out for that friend of yours..."

"Uh-huh. Okay."

After this discussion, Jix turned on his heel and returned to the second guest house.

Breakfast was just about ready at the Guest House No. 2.

Jin and Erza (his doppelganger) were already seated and half finished with their breakfast. Then Jix arrives.

"<>, good morning.

Jix-san, good morning.

After exchanging a brief greeting, Jix took his seat and began to eat the breakfast that had been brought to him.

（Finally, ......, it's time!)

His face showed some kind of determination.
