Does Marcia need an assistant golem?　Jin asked,

"Well, yes. To be honest, I miss Arrow, Arco and Vale. Since you are ......, could you make me an automata instead of a golem?"

My own assistant golem is enough for Arrow and his friends. So if you're going to make me an assistant, I'd like it to be a different concept, Marcia said.

"Okay, here we go."

Jin then confirms his request about the appearance.

After all, his first assistant golem, Arrow, had been made to look exactly like Marcia.

"Well, you don't have to make it look like ...... me. And I think I'd like a female form."

Marcia said she might feel uncomfortable with a male automaton as her assistant.

"Okay. Then let's go in the direction of manon.

"Manon?"

"Oh, you don't know, do you Marcia? <. She's like Anne, Lol, Lefa..."

"I see. ...... Yeah, that's a good idea. But they should wear something comfortable.

Okay.

After listening to Marcia's request, Jin went to the workshop.

It was 6:30 p.m., so there was still plenty of time.

"This looks interesting. Let's take a look."

Reinhardt followed him.

"The template is already ready.

The process from preparation to basic assembly is fast. Reiko and the old man had prepared the materials, so the approximate shape was completed in 10 minutes.

"You're even faster than usual."

Reinhard is impressed with the speed.

"Well, now that it's for Marcia, we'll have to make some customizations."

We'll give it more knowledge of precision machining and more power for transport.

The <> will be made more powerful so that the entire ship can be transferred in case of emergency.

Although not for combat, they are equipped with <> for self-defense, and <> to kill <> in an instant.

"Jin, it would be nice if you could use <>."

Reinhardt, who was watching from the side, advises.

"Underwater demons are vulnerable to low temperatures, you know.

"I see, I'll do that."

Jin thought that it would be a good idea to equip them with weapons such as harpoons.

Naturally, they are tuned to be good at underwater activities.

"The last thing is the appearance."

Jin looked at Erza, who had arrived.

"Hmm, I'll leave it to you.

Hair green.

"Yes."

After saying that, Jin left the rest to Erza and sat down next to Reinhardt.

"What about Reinhardt and Bertsche?"

Neon was now owned by Edith Kuzma, a descendant of the Kuzma family and Reinhardt, and <> by Stephanie Randall.

"Well, I guess ...... there's no particular inconvenience."

Reinhardt would have built it himself if he had to.

"Well, yes."

But what about the other members?

Saki has a five-colored golem maid taking care of her,

Hannah seems to have no inconvenience, and so does Vivienne.

Beena and Stearina are likely to make their own golems if necessary.

Lycia, too, would not have had a specific follower 400 years ago.

"...... but <> or ......"

Jin recalled the members he had met in this period.

"Maybe we should let Rhodes and Ludmilla know. ......"

This is a difficult question.

To inform them would mean informing Sion as well. Theon is definitely a member of the .

"......I guess I have to make a decision now."

"...... Jin?"

"Oh, sorry. I'll think about it tonight, and I'll discuss it with you in the morning.

Before that, Jin went to help Erza finish the automata for Marcia.

"How does it look like?"

"Well, I made it like this."

"Well..."

Her hair is green and a little long, pulled back in a ponytail.

The face was Elsa's original, somewhat similar to Anne's. "I tried to put it together in a safe way," she said.

"I tried to make it look safe."

Jin thought, "That's true. Jin himself could make a good likeness if he had a model, but he was not good at making originals.

"Yes, it looks good.

Reinhardt was also impressed.

"It's not good for assistants and secretaries like this to have a very distinctive appearance," he said.

Reinhardt said, "It's better to have a safe, unremarkable appearance so that the master will stand out.

"And, well, that's the case with noble squires."

"That was helpful."

Jin thought that it would be a case-by-case basis for a squire to be more prominent than his master, even if he was not a nobleman, if he was always by his master's side.

In the case of himself and Reiko, it was fine for Reiko to be more famous, but a female owner would not like it if a squire of the same gender was more conspicuous.

As for the attire, Jin thought of wearing a jumpsuit, reflecting Marcia's request, but Elsa objected.

She said, "If it's the same work clothes, I'd rather wear a shirt and overalls.

"I don't know what you mean by that.

Overalls are also sometimes called "ties," and are a single-piece garment.

"You can change it up with the shirt part," Elsa told me.

Jin was convinced by Elsa's words, "Because you can change it with the shirt part.

It took about 30 minutes so far.

"So, I'll have ...... Marcia name it."

Jin checked all the parts of the automata,

"All right, let's call the others.

He then called the others with .

Within five minutes, everyone was in the workshop.

Jin and Elsa show off their new automata.

"Wow, this is my partner!　Just as ordered, Jin!"

Marcia seemed to like the new automaton at first sight.

"You name it, Marcia."

Jin said and activated the automaton.

Marcia was already ranked first, with Rodrigo in second, Elsa in third, and Reinhardt in fourth.

"A name or ...... I guess so ...... then <!"

It seems to be based on a word meaning << in the kingdom of Elias.

"Yes, I am <>. Marcia-sama, it is nice to meet you."

"Yes, it's nice to meet you too."

Thus, on this day, <> became Marcia's new partner.
