"Lotte's sister?"

The prince's face was strange. Lotte smiled and nodded her head, and reached out her left hand, which had been freed from her sword.

"Yes, over there."

Lotte points to the other side, and there is the service gate at the bottom of the hall. It was the place where the golems were swarming the most at the moment, the most chaotic place.

A girl in a light blue one-piece dress and a white apron dress appeared from there.

"<> This is my sister.

* * * *

Father!

Kicking away the golems, Reiko rushes into the hall. She blasts away any golem or knight golem that gets in her way, and heads for Jin.

"Oh, Reiko!　I knew you'd be here by now."

Reiko smiles happily at his words of trust,

"So, what shall we do first?

She asks for Jin's instructions. When asked, Jin has only one answer.

"Protect the humans and neutralize the golem that is attacking us.

"Yes, sir!"

Reiko kicks the floor forcefully and rushes into the swarming Golem. With a swing of her right arm, the knight golem is blown to pieces, and with a swing of her left hand, the guard golem slams into the wall.

Reinhardt sees this and says,

"Oh, Reiko's here!"

"What?　Reiko?"

Elsa and Bina also looked at him, and their eyes widened.

The golems that had been swarming around were visibly decreasing in number.

Not one or two, but five or ten!　Black Knight, rescue the remaining survivors!

Seeing this as an opportunity, Reinhardt decides to leave the golem to Reiko and focus all his energy on rescuing the survivors.

"Be quiet!"

The golem blows up.

Reiko had already defeated more than 60 runaway Golems, but there were still more coming at her, no matter how many she defeated.

Seeing this, Jin devises a plan, and gathers iron-based materials from the scattered Golem fragments,

"Fusion".

And then they were united,

"Forming".

They transformed it. The result is a striking weapon called a mace. It must weigh about 200 kilograms.

Finally, it is hardened to increase its durability.

"Hey, Reiko!

Reiko heard Jin's voice in the midst of the melee and came to his side immediately.

"I know it's a rush job, but try this."

She pointed at the mace she had made. Reiko immediately knew what it was for,

"All right, I'll use it.

With that, she lifted the mace with one hand,

"Then, I will continue the sweep.

With that, he plunged into the group of golems.

"............"

"......"

Watching the whole thing from nearby was Dominic, an envoy of the Kingdom of Celluor, and Stearina, a magecraftsman also of the Kingdom of Celluor.

They were absolutely amazed to see two out-of-the-ordinary things: Reiko's power and Jin's engineering magic.

Reiko swung her mace, and four or five golems were blown away.

"This is good."

To Reiko, it was nothing more than swinging a wooden stick, but it was very effective.

The golems are obliterated before the growling mace, as if it were blowing away scarecrows. 10, 20, 30.

Ten, twenty, thirty... and then another ten or so, and almost all the Golems are gone.

Reiko found the remaining Golem and took another swing.

But that swing was stopped.

"That's ...... Taurus!"

Tauros, the golem brought by Duke Bruu, was catching Reiko's mace with its huge tower shield.

"You can catch this? You seem to have some strength."

Reiko held the mace with both hands, and swung it widely,

"Can you catch this?

He slammed into the Tauros.

A roar went through the hall.

Reiko's mace was shattered, and Tauros's tower shield and left arm were shattered.

"It's pretty tough, isn't it?"

Reiko, having let go of her mace, confronts the Tauros with her slender body.

"This is for breaking the mace that your father made for me!

At that moment, Reiko increased her power to 30 percent for a moment. Reiko hits him with her body.

The laws of physics in this world are not much different from those on Earth, except for the phenomenon of magic.

When a light object collides with a heavy object, the lighter object bounces back. But that is when there is no friction or resistance.

And the strength of each object must be taken into account.

Tauros is made of steel and weighs 250 kg, and Reiko is made of rare materials and weighs 33 kg.

The speed of the Tauros is almost zero. In contrast, Reiko's speed is 50 meters per second at the time of impact.

The sound was even louder than the roar of the previous collision, and smoke reeking of iron filled the air.

When the smoke cleared, the Taurus was no longer there, but only Reiko who was brushing the dust off her body.

The silence that had come over the survivors breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it over ......?"

Someone muttered, and with that, the tension fell from the shoulders of those who were there, and some of them sat down on the floor.

In the midst of all this, Bruno, the second-in-command of the Kingsguard, whipped his wounded body and went to the king and the prince.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, are you all right?"

"Oh, Bruno, are you also safe?"

Please, come this way, we are gathering the survivors.

"Okay, okay."

And so at last the survivors were gathered in one place.

Your Majesty!

Prime Minister, are you all right?

Your Highness, I'm so glad you're safe.

Yes, Lotte saved me.

Lotte, whose wounded body was crouched behind the king and the prince.

The king and the prince, Prime Minister Galuelli, Minister of Finance Braurort, Minister of Magic Kerichdoré, and the ministers of defense, interior, and foreign affairs.

Nobles such as the Duke of Bruu, Count Kuzma, Count Galana and Viscount Guglieri.

Guests such as Reinhard, Elsa, Dominique, the envoy of the Kingdom of Celuloa, and Stearina.

Magical craftsmen (magi craftsmen) such as Jarlidare, Jade Nephroy, Gladia Hampton, and Botes.

Captains and sub-captains of the Kingsguard.

Some of them were seriously injured, but they are alive.

On the other hand, there were a few casualties among the soldiers and members of the Kingsguard.

* * * *

Reiko's heroic efforts have cleared away most of the golems in the hall, and there are no new golems coming to attack, so the leading figures of the Egelea nation are discussing the future.

Then, the Minister of Magic, Kellichdole, says

"Mister Reinhard, why didn't your Black Knight (Schwarzritter) and Count Lotte of Kuzma join the riot?"

This must have been what he wanted to ask the most.

In reply, Reinhardt told the story of the golem used by Valentino, a criminal in the Kingdom of Elias, and explained its modus operandi.

He said that he had already told this story to the appropriate authorities in the kingdoms of Elias and Egelea, and concluded by saying that his black knight (Schwarzritter) had been modified to be immune to outside interference by magic.

"I have not heard of such a golem. The report must have stopped somewhere.

With a hard look on his face, the Minister of Magic was silent for a moment.

Then Jin arrived with Reiko in tow.

"Oh, Jin!　And Miss Reiko!　Thank God you're here!

Reinhard greeted Jin. Count Kuzma too,

"Jin, your Lotte protected His Majesty and His Highness very well.

He expresses his gratitude. Hearing that, Jin said..,

"What?　Lotte?"

He looks around and sees Lotte in the back. In front of her are the king and the prince.

When the king hears Jin's name,

"Oh, you are Jin, the Magi Craftsman. Kuzuma tells me that you are an excellent Magi craftsman. You are to be congratulated for having created this wonderful golem called Lotte.

"Yes, thank you."

Jin bowed his head when the king said so. He did not know how to be polite in such a situation, so he just thought it would be good to be on the down-low.

"And you said, 'Reiko. You did a wonderful job. Was that yours, too?"

is an automaton.

"I see. I have many questions, but first let me thank you.

All those present were surprised that the king of a country would thank a single magecraftsman.

"You mean Jin. Thanks to you!　If you can, will you fix Lotte for me?"

Prince Ernest said.

Jin looked up and saw Lotte standing behind him.

All of the clothes she was wearing are gone. Her right arm is missing from the shoulder. Her left hand was missing the middle, ring, and little fingers, and her body was covered with numerous scars and dents.

"Lotte, come here."

Jin beckoned to Lotte, and she came with a slight limp.

Looking at her from the side, you can see that she is in even worse shape.

"Lotte, you did great. You did your best to protect His Majesty and His Highness. I'm proud of you."

Jin tenderly cared for the scarred Lotte.
