The golem that Jin and the others are making is 90% complete.

.

A message from the old man echoed.

"Oh, is it that time already?

"It's gone by so fast, hasn't it?"

Jin stretched himself.

"Well, I can finish it in another hour. ...... but it can't be helped.

He changed his mind and decided to continue tomorrow.

Maricka, Rubina, Grina, and Freddy were all very tired and let out a sigh of relief.

After a long and relaxing bath, dinner was served.

The menu was a Japanese-style set meal, and everyone tasted it with a satisfied palate.

"Freddy, how was your day?

"Yes, it was a fulfilling day. What about your grandmother?

"Lao Tzu showed me around."

Yes, Ellis was accompanied by Lao Tzu, Soleil, Luna, and others, showing them around the Horai Island.

"We climbed up to the middle of Mount Horai. It was a nice view.

Ellis, who had a heart condition, was glad to be able to do something that he had never been able to do before.

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, grandmother."

Freddy is also happy to see Elise enjoying herself.

(It's nice to see smiles like this all over Hourai Island. ......)

Jin recalls the old days in Horai Island.

* * * *

The next day, Jin, Marikka, Rubina, Grina, and Freddy moved to the workshop right after breakfast. And Ellis followed.

"Come on, let's finish it!

Jin is very enthusiastic.

"Yes!

And so were the other four.

All that remained was to install the exterior and test drive.

The exterior is already completed, so it is just a matter of fine-tuning and assembling it.

I think you're right, Freddy, go for it. And, Greiner, you'll support me.

"Yes, sir."

He instructed the two and Jin watched on.

"Well, uh, this one right here, I guess."

The exterior is basically the same as full-body armor, so it can be put on sensibly.

"Oh, that, the left and right sides are reversed.

"What?　Oh, it's true. Thank you very much.

"You're welcome."

At first things were a little awkward between the two, but as the fitting progressed,

"Here, this is your right arm."

"Thank you. ...... like this?" "That's OK.

"Okay, here's the left arm."

"Okay, here we go."

They began to work well together.

"Well, I can't believe he's working so well with the girls. ......"

Jin did not miss the whispered comment from Ellis, who was observing from a little distance away. He quietly approached her and asked in a whisper.

"Mr. Ellis, is that so?"

"Yes, that's right."

Ellis also responded in a whisper.

"I was pampered when I was a child because of my lineage as a Magecraft Meister, and people would come to me and call me their fiancee or fiancée.

"...... that's ......."

Indeed, perhaps it's the Randall bloodline, but Freddy has a well-defined face, and it's no wonder he's so popular with the ladies.

"But when they found out that he had no talent for magical engineering, they turned their backs on him and left."

"Oh, that..."

Jin thought, "I can see why he distrusts people and women.

"Yes, this is the last time."

"Thank you."

As Jin and Elise looked on, Freddy was working with Greiner to install the golem's exterior.

"...... Ugh, it's a little hard."

"In such a case, you can adjust it by forming."

"I see, let's try it. <

"Yes, yes, you're good at it."

"Jin-sama made me practice a lot."

And so, the exterior was installed.

"Mr. Greiner, please check it out."

He also showed his humility by asking Gulina, who was more skilled than he, to check the exterior.

"Okay. ......<>"

Since the magic circuits are also connected to the exterior, a <> will tell us a lot.

"It seems to be all right."

"Thank you. ...... Jin-sama, we're done."

"Yes, thank you, both of you, for your hard work."

By then Jin has left Eris's side and returned to check on the golem.

"...... Yeah, it's a pass. It's well done."

Both men were pleased to hear those words.

"Now for the final touches. This is a gift, so I'll do that part."

Not only because he was technically superior, but also because he was ultimately responsible for the project.

Jin finished the surfaces and <, and adjusted the gaps between the various parts.

"That's it. The old man, transcribe the sequence of operation."

>...... finished>>

"Thank you. Now you just need to play with the parameters. ......<><>......<>"

Rewrite some parameters. This will limit the output and wield power within a reasonable range.

"Okay. Let's give it a test run. Let's try a test run. ......Well, Gulina, you can be the temporary master.

When Hitoshi shakes her hand, Greena is startled.

"Me?

"Yes. I'll erase it when I give you ......, so don't worry about it.

"Yes, yes. ......<>1st place: me, 2nd place: Jin-sama, 3rd place: ...... Freddy."

(Hmm?)

Jin understands that he set the second place to himself, but he thinks of Grina's feelings that she set the third place to Freddie.

(It's a matter between them. ......)

Then, after setting Marikka in the 4th place, Rubina in the 5th place, and Eris in the 6th place, Grina finally gets ready to launch the device.

"<> Okay. <>Good. Emergency <> filled."

As a side note, this golem is not powered by Horai Island's standard <, but by < and <>, which is a technology one generation before that.

This is still the most advanced technology of this era.

Furthermore, at the risk of going off on a tangent, if the emergency <> is filled with mana in advance, it has the advantage of shortening the time lag until it starts moving when it is first activated.

When Jin assembled Reiko for the first time, she did not start moving for a while even after she was activated, because the time lag until the mana converted by the <> was sufficiently accumulated was large, and it took time for the mana to permeate into each part of the body and become familiar with it.

Now, let's talk about the next topic.

Finally, the <> new golem is activated.
