After the dinner that night, Jin and the others had a light meeting about the next day's lecture and went to bed early.

The time difference between Horai Island and was about 3 hours and 20 minutes, which made Rubina especially sleepy.

It is not surprising since she is only 10 years old.

"Children should not stay up late," she told Jin.

She was told by Jin, "I'm not a child,

I'm not a child. ......

Rubina's reply was completely unconvincing,

"......I'm going to bed after all. Good night."

She admitted defeat and disappeared into the bedroom.

Jin and the others also went to their own bedrooms.

The next morning.

"Father, it's time..."

Reiko woke Jin up. The time was 6:30 a.m.

"Oh, it's that time already. ...... I can't get enough sleep.

"It's unusual, isn't it, your father?"

"It's not ...... because of the change of bedding, is it?"

Jin usually sleeps well and the quality of his sleep is good, so it is normal for him to wake up comfortably in the morning.

"<>...... It's not that I'm not feeling well."

Just to be sure, Reiko cast a checkup spell on Jin, but nothing out of the ordinary was found.

"It's just one of those days. Well, I'm going to wash my face.

Jin rinsed his mouth and washed his face at the washbasin provided in his room.

After getting dressed, he opened the curtains of the window and saw that it was a beautiful day.

"Your lecture starts at 9:00 a.m., doesn't it?"

"Yes, it starts at 9:00 a.m."

Jin checked the schedule with Reiko,

"I hope you have prepared the materials for the lecture, right?

Jin checked to make sure.

"Yes, sir. Eight hundred copies were completed last night and he will send them to me this morning.

"That's fine."

True to his word, at 7:00 a.m. Avalon time, Sky 101's Conlon 3 landed at the airport.

After unloading the luggage destined for Jin, the aircraft immediately took off.

The package was immediately delivered to Jin.

"Oh, it is definitely a document.

"Oh, it's definitely materials," he said. It was thought that this would be enough.

At 8 o'clock, Jin and the others were in the auditorium, where the lecture was to take place, in the backstage area of the auditorium.

"Jin-sama, I'm so nervous.

"Oh, me too. I have to go to ...... for a minute."

Rubina and Freddy were very nervous because it was their first time.

"Yes, I'm very nervous.

But Grina, despite her words, did not seem too nervous.

She said,

"No, I am nervous inside. But since Jin-sama is with me, I think I'll be fine no matter what happens.

Gulina replies, "Ha, thank you.

"Ha, thank you. Well, I will give the main part of the lecture, you can leave it to me.

"You've been in front of the royalty of many countries before.

Marikka said.

Marikka was a little sorry to say that she was old ......, but she looked calm.

8:30. The doors to the main auditorium were opened and the room became lively as students and guests entered.

"Wow, there are a lot of people here.

Jin watched the scene from his dressing room and was impressed.

Incidentally, the auditorium has a capacity of 900 people. However, there were spare seats for such occasions, and about 1,000 people seemed to have gathered to listen to the lecture.

The materials prepared by Jin were handed out one by one to the participants as they entered through the four entrances.

"I'm looking forward to the lecture by <>."

"Isn't Marikka-sama of Shinra here too?"

"He's talking about a new type of golem."

"This is the material, isn't it?　...... Oh, it's easy to read with explanatory diagrams.

"Well, it's about 50 pages long. This is a free distribution. is really a wonderful organization.

Students and engineers from other countries were eagerly waiting for the lecture to start.

At 9:00 a.m., the bell rang to signal the start of the lecture.

The buzzing in the auditorium became quiet as if water had been poured over it.

6. question and answer session

The session was as follows.

Jin walked slowly to the podium on the stage. A voice condenser was set up as a microphone.

"I am Jin Nido. I have taken over the name and title from my predecessor. Today I would like to give a lecture on the new golem. Let's start with an overview. Please look at the second page of the ...... document."

There was a sound of flipping through the material.

"The method I am going to explain is called . Actually, I did not invent this method. It was developed by researchers in the past.

For a moment, the audience was in an uproar.

"But just before it was completed, the came to power and the research was buried. Therefore, the name of the great researcher has not been handed down.

Again the auditorium is abuzz.

"...... but!"

Jin shouted a little louder, and the audience fell silent.

"For various reasons, I cannot reveal the location, but the remnants of a golem found at a certain site was this method."

Jin then asked me to open the third or fourth page.

"There you will find a brief summary of the driving systems of golems. The most primitive <, as you know, is powered by .

Those who had created golems all gave a small nod at Jin's words.

"And the first , Adriana Barbora Zetsi, developed and perfected the . It is a method that has a skeleton and muscles similar to those of human beings. It is especially suited for automata.

Jin's lecture continues.
