On September 12, Jin was summoned by King Mericolance I. He went to the king's office.

He went to the King's office. Corwin Raqqa Kiddo, Minister of Magical Engineering, was also present.

"Actually, Jin-sama, I have a request for ......<>.

"What is it?"

I have a daughter, Lizabeth, who will be ten years old this year.

Yes.

The others were all boys, and she's just so cute and adorable.

"Yes. ......"

Jin was a little defensive, but then he started talking about his love for his daughter.

"Your Majesty!"

The Minister of Magic and Technology gently chides him.

"Uh-huh. ......It will soon be my daughter's birthday. So, as a birthday gift, I would like to give her an automata ...... like Tia, who was once in our country."

"Oh, so that's what you mean."

Jin agreed. The blue-haired automata <> that belonged to this country went to the Kingdom of Egelea when Princess Rieschen got married. And now it belongs to Princess Mimir.

"Yes, sir. May I ask what kind of specifications you would like?

Jin answered immediately. He didn't care how much it would cost, since the king had asked for it.

"Yes. Of course. I would like to have an automaton like at ......."

The appearance of the doll would be that of a 17 or 8 year old, just coming of age, a girl on the verge of adulthood.

That is the most preferred appearance. This is because it is the appearance that is preferred by everyone from small children to adults.

"What is your main use? Housework?　Guarding?　Education?

"Yes, education."

Without a pause, Mericolance I answered.

However, this question was only a formality, since Jin was making an automata.

"Do you have any requests for hair style, eye color, etc.?"

"Hair straight, maybe to mid-back. Hair and eye color is up to you.

Okay, I'll take care of it. By ...... standard, I have green hair.

To distinguish me from humans," Jin explained.

"Yes, that's fine. Tia has blue hair too."

"Yes, that's good. What about the quality of the voice and tone of voice?

"Yes, ......."

It was not until this question that Mericolance I began to ponder. Although he had thought of the specifications beforehand, he had not expected to be asked such a detailed question.

"......I prefer a calm voice. The tone of voice should be polite."

"Okay. I'll adjust it to a mezzo-soprano, something like that.

Thank you.

Just when Mericolance I thought that this was the end of the specifications.

"Finally..."

There were still more questions.

"What about special equipment?"

"Special equipment?"

Merikalance I didn't know what that meant, so he asked back.

"Yes. For example, the ability to contact a specific person in case of emergency, or to use a specific magic.

"Oh, I see. Then, it would be nice to be able to use healing magic.

"That would certainly be nice. I'll take care of it.

Yes, thank you.

"I'll go back to ...... now to make the product, can you deliver it tomorrow?"

The biggest bomb was dropped in this contract.

"Oh, tomorrow?

Mericolance I was astonished, thinking that it would take at least a week at the earliest.

The princess's birthday was October 10, which was still about a month away.

"Mm-hmm. That's fine.

"Yes, sir. Then I will start working on it now.

Jin bowed and left the office.

"...... You've been full of surprises, Corwin."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I've read about the Magecraft Meister who existed 400 years ago, but ...... I have to admit, I thought it would raise some eyebrows. "I agree.

"I agree."

Can you really make an automaton in a day? ......

"No, Your Majesty, it takes time to get around, but I think it's less than that."

"Oh, oh......"

"...... Perhaps he has several units that can be used as prototypes for golems and automata."

"Units?"

Yes. For example, if we have several kinds of completed skeletons ready, we don't have to make them after receiving a request.

I see. That may be so.

If we can sublimate this unit concept, we can use it in our country as well.

"Yes, I'll consider it."

I'll consider it.

I will consider it.

Jin, taking advantage of this opportunity, turned down Zion and Machina, and took off with Reiko in the Aristotle.

They continued to gain altitude, and when they were out of sight from the ground, they used the warp gate to move to Horai Island.

"Welcome home, Brother Jin.

Jin looks at Erza's face as she greets him, and remembers last night's plan,

"I've received a request from the Kingdom of Klein to make automata.

He went to the workshop with Erza.

"Father, we are ready.

Reiko entered the workshop about a minute before Jin and Elsa and was ready and waiting for Jin.

"Oh, that's great, Reiko."

Jin praised Reiko, patted her on the head, and immediately set to work.

The material used was the standard 64 light silver.

The process had been done so many times already that it could literally be done with one's eyes closed.

The basic skeleton is made, and adamantite coating is applied to the joints. Three minutes.

In the meantime, Reiko has prepared magical muscles for us, and we attach the muscles to the skeleton while connecting the magical nerves.

This time, four magical nerves are used per line.

While working, Jin told Erza about his request regarding the appearance of the automata.

"Hmm, okay."

Erza started to prepare materials for hair, skin, and clothing.

"Let's see, the specifications of the power reactor should be <> and <>.

Jin puts it in a heavy-duty shield case, and connects the magical nerve wires to it.

"This is the way to do it."

It takes 10 minutes to finish all the connections. It took him 10 minutes to finish all the connections.

He then places the tactile sensors around his palms.

This takes 5 minutes.

"Now I guess I'll just have to assemble the head."

This was Jin's real talent, building the robot while having fun.
