Jin is now seriously working on .

Eira is astonished at how fast he is working.

"What, what is this speed, I can't ...... keep up with it. ......"

<><>>, carving <>, assembling <>, and shaping <>. Eira's mouth dropped open as she watched Jin assemble and shape the <>.

"So this is ...... how serious Jin really is. ......"

In fact, it is about half. Jin can give his all in the laboratory on Horai Island, but he knows from experience that it is very difficult to do so in an ordinary workshop.

It depends on the purity of the material, the strength of the workbench, and its resistance.

When materials with low purity are deformed at ultra-high speed, parts with imperfect atomic and molecular structures, such as impurities and lattice defects, tend to deteriorate.

Magical engineering theory explains that such impurities and defects slow down the propagation of the magic force due to resistance, which may cause cracks when the deformation speed exceeds the deformation speed.

However, this is only a problem for <> or similar production speeds, and is usually not a concern.

You can also use or to the material in advance, but this is time-consuming and labor intensive, so I did not use it this time.

The strength and resistance of the workbench is also a matter of the aftermath of Jin's magical power ......0.000.000. It may be deformed or become brittle due to the aftermath ...... of the magical power of Jin's seriousness.

All of the workbenches and tools in the workshop on Horai Island are highly resistant to magic, so they are unaffected even if Jin exerts his full strength.

So, in about 10 minutes, Jin has completed <>.

The time was 11:30 a.m.

"Okay, I can spare another 30 minutes.

Jin decides to check the operation of just to be sure.

He didn't want to affect the surroundings,

"Reiko, put up a <>."

"Yes, Father."

This is a test after setting up a barrier against magic waves.

This is a rare use of warding to keep out the magic waves from the inside.

We are ready.

Okay, let's get started.

For a moment, the <> is activated.

"Whoa, whoa!"

Eira presses her ears. But since the modulation commander only works for a split second, she quickly regains her composure.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah, ah. I felt like my ears ...... or rather the back of my head was shaken ......."

"Hmm?"

Jin wonders if Eira is sensitive.

But he will not pursue that question until later.

"Reiko, did you feel it?"

"Yes, father. It seems to be working properly.

I see.

Reiko confirmed the operation of the Modulation Commander with her sensing ability while putting up the Magic Barrier.

"I think we can manage this. Now we just need to choose the right location.

Jin thinks it would be best to launch the device close to the center.

"This is close to the center hole, so we can use it on a high place.

"Yes, there is a control tower nearby.

According to Eira, there are control towers about 200 meters high in various parts of for aircrafts passing overhead.

"Okay, let's go there.

It was located about 100 meters away from the research building.

It had an elevator to transport workers and materials, so Jin and Reiko used it to get up to the top.

Eira stays behind. Rather, it would be better to have as many people as possible to search for enemy devices that would be revealed by the <>.

"Yeah, it's a nice view. This is a good place to be."

At 11:50 a.m., Jin and Reiko are ready and waiting for the scheduled time.

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

11:55AM.

<, there are 100 Machina Golems and <500> land troops. And the eyes of 1,500 inhabitants of <> were shining.

Incidentally, the Landes were secretly sent to the city by the old man using a transfer device. It is difficult to distinguish them from Machina's golem at a glance, and there is no way to know for sure how many there are in total, so the total number is being increased in the midst of the confusion.

What's more, the old man is quietly resentful of the cause of Jin's being unable to spend a leisurely New Year's day.

11:56 a.m.

Four minutes to go.

Tomax Bartmann muttered to himself as he looked at the clock on the wall. He is in charge of his office. His predecessor, Graham Darby, might have done something.

11:57 a.m.

"Three minutes."

Elena mutters. She can tell the time accurately with the built-in clock function.

She was in charge of the first floor of the guest house.

11:58 a.m.

"Two minutes to go."

Makina III muttered to himself. He and Ray are at the airport.

11:59 a.m.

"One minute left."

Jin muttered.

"......59......58......57......"

Reiko is counting down the minutes.

"......30......29......28......27......"

Part of is visible below. Jin himself is watching from this height.

"......11......10......9......8......7......"

Jin touches the . In this way, he could ensure that the surveillance under his eyes would not be interrupted and would be activated without fail.

"......3......2......1......"

Reiko's voice echoes.

"Zero!"

"<>!"

A moment later, the <> starts and stops one second later.

However, several things happened during that one second.

One, some of the golems in <> stopped working for about 0.2 seconds. This was due to by <>.

Two, a part of the magi-machines in <> malfunctioned for about 0.1 seconds. This is also due to the , but no one is panicking, as it was already taken into account.

And the third one. This is the reaction intended by Jin and the others.

In other words, there were reactions of unidentified magical tools or magical machines in several places in <> ...... four places to be exact.

* * * * * * * * * * *

One of them is in the green area adjacent to the commercial district.

The one we found was one of the Machina Golems.

It glowed faintly for only about 0.05 seconds. However, that much time is enough for the golem to react quickly.

One of the Machina Golems secured it, disguised as a lamppost set up in a green area.

The second was in a corner of an airfield ...... civilian airport, located directly opposite the <>.

It was Elena who found it.

"Here ...... is a place like this."

Elena quickly dug it up.

The third one was attached to the roof of the research building.

It was Hitoshi and Reiko who found it.

And the fourth one is .......

The fourth one, an unidentified magical tool or magi-machine, was found in the office of the Chief Superintendent Tomax Bartmann, at the back of a drawer in his desk.

One of the machina golems was found.

It was so cleverly disguised that a human could not have found it.

The board at the back of the drawer (......2cm thick) had a hole drilled in it, and contained a magi-machine about 1cm in diameter.

Needless to say, it was covered with an ingenious lid that matched the grain of the wood.

But the golem's eyes could not be fooled.

"This is where you hid it. ......!"

With a curse, Tomax Bartmann snatched up the magical tool and placed it on the desk.
