"The group responsible for the abduction of Shoro's diplomat, Reinhard Reinhard, will be dealt with by Reinhard. .........oh yeah..."

Jin took out a magi crystal from the pocket of his reinforced suit as he remembered and approached the fainted members of the Unifiler party and used transinfo on the man who seemed to be the most important among them.

"I think I can get some better information now."

The last time I read this, the head of Branch 8, Purcell, did not have any good information.

And when he tucked it away in the breast pocket of his reinforced suit.

A shadow came out of the darkness and struck Jin. Jin's body was lifted into the air and sent flying five meters into the air.

Jin!

Father!

The one who hit Jin was the all-powerful golem that had sunk into the river along with Intact. Since its right leg had been destroyed by Reiko's railgun, it took a while to get out of the river.

Naturally, Intact, who was supporting her as ordered, had drowned and was no longer of this world.

However, the all-powerful golem was autonomous, though not as autonomous as Jin's golem, and it knew that once it was confirmed that Intact was dead, the command would be transferred to Marcello, the second-in-command, who would be the vice-chief.

When he saw that Marcello was unconscious and tied up, he attacked the enemy standing closest to him, namely Jin.

Hit by the blow, Jin was sent flying five meters to the ground, unable to move.

"How dare you ...... your father!

With those words, Reiko delivered a blow to the all-powerful golem. She swung the railgun in her hand and struck it from the top.

It was a force that bent even the barrel of the adamantite railgun, literally with all of Reiko's strength.

Somehow, the universal golem did not sink into the soil, but was flattened like an empty can trampled by a truck.

"Jin!　Jin!

Meanwhile, Reinhardt rushes to Jin and takes care of him.

"Uh......uh?"

Jin!　Jin!　Thank God!

Father!

Reiko, who had defeated the all-powerful golem, immediately rushed to Jin's side.

"I am sorry!　Please punish me!

Reiko kneels on her knees in front of Jin who regains consciousness. But Hitoshi gently calls out to Reiko.

"Reiko, I'm all right. So look up.

"Jin, Jin, are you sure you're okay?　The golem hit you and blew you up 5 meters!

But Jin smiles and replies.

"Yeah, this reinforced suit protected me from the blow. I think I was knocked out, but that was just from the shock of being blown 5 meters and hitting the ground.

Jin stood up and waved his hands and stamped his feet to show that he was safe.

"Oh, I'm so glad. I didn't feel like I was alive."

"Father, ......."

Reiko's face is crumpled. If she could have cried, she would have shed copious tears.

And all around her were the golems of the Secret Service (SP) who were following Reiko's example and getting down on their knees. It was surreal.

"That's enough, everyone. I'm fine.

The sea dragon-made reinforced suit withstood the blow from the all-powerful golem, even though its right leg was destroyed. Although not very happy, we were able to verify this in a real battle.

"Jin, I'm honestly glad you came to save me. But you should take better care of yourself.

"What?"

"Reiko and the other golems who are your children. If anything happens to Jin, everyone will be sad. You should understand that.

Reinhardt, knowing that the golems and automata Jin had created were capable of rich emotions, gave him this advice.

"I don't think you are suited to command in the field in the first place."

Jin gratefully accepted Reinhardt's blunt advice.

"So ...... you are. Okay, I'll be careful. Thank you, Reinhard.

"Yeah."

So, after consultation, Jin and Reinhardt escorted the captured Unification Party members to Lands 58, 59, and 60 and took them to the city of Dali. They took them to the city of Dali and handed them over to the Kingdom of Celuloa through the garrison of the Shoro Empire. As a diplomat, Reinhardt could not let his personal grudge take precedence.

Jin thought about what to do with Reinhardt and Stearina, who had not yet awakened from her stupor.

In the end, since it was still midnight, he decided to take them by Hydro 5 to the town of Dali.

"Oh, wow!　This is the ship Jin built!"

Reinhardt is excited to see the Hydro 5.

"It's not golem-driven!"

I'll explain everything later," Reinhardt says quietly, and we get him on the boat.

The boat has a capacity of four people, so it is fully occupied by Marine 5, Jin, Reinhardt, and Stearina, who is piloting the boat. Reiko, however, is not happy,

"I will never leave my father's side.

She would not leave her father's side. I have no choice but to carry her on Jin's lap. The bent railgun is put into the luggage space. The railgun is still light enough to fit in the luggage space.

"Then we're leaving."

With that, Marine 5 started the Hydro 5. The boat is going more than 50 kilometers per hour, even with four people on board, because of the current of the river.

The army golems except for Lands 58, 59 and 60, which were transporting Unified Party members, were recovered by Falcon 2. 2 retrieved. The pieces of the captured enemy golem are also with them.

"Reinhard, just so you know, the guards of the Kingdom of Celuloa are unwilling, right?　Reinhardt and Stearina were kidnapped and they didn't even make a move."

"Well, you know. I can sort of see that.

And the butler, Claude, right?　I heard he was shut out of the scene, too.

Jin explained what he had seen and heard when Sage and Cosmos of the Secret Maneuver Unit (SP) had stayed at the site to gather information.

"Well, is it that rotten?"

As we were talking, the city of Dali came into view. Hydro 5 pulls up to the shore, as it is not a good idea to get too close to the city. Here, a problem emerged.

The city of Dali is on the left bank of the Asr River, while the POWs are on the right bank.

"It's no use. There should be soldiers stationed in the city of Giron. Let's hand them over there."

Reinhardt said and Hydro 5 crossed back to the right bank.

"I'm sorry, but you're going to have to keep me in the dark. And give my regards to Mr. Stearina.

Now, having soldiers from the Kingdom of Selroa and the Shoro Kingdom asking me questions is a waste of time, and more importantly, it's a pain in the ass.

So, Jin, though he felt bad about it, left the cleanup to Reinhardt.

"Oh well, it can't be helped. You'll have to make it up to me later, won't you?

Reinhardt smiled mischievously.

And Jin,

"What, I saved you!"

Reinhardt laughs and says, "What, I saved you. Then Reinhardt says

"Ha-ha, I'm just kidding. Well, leave the diplomacy to me."

And he accepts the job.

Still concerned about Stearina, who had not woken up yet, Jin sent Reinhardt ashore, saying that he would deliver the recovery medicine later.

Sage and Cosmos, Reinhardt's personal guards, were already there waiting for him, and they took care of the unconscious Stearina.

He contacted Land 58 and the others by manacam, and was told that it would take about four and a half hours to reach them.

"Well then, Reinhard, I'm really sorry. Take care of the rest!

With these words, Jin turned the Hydro-5 towards the upper reaches of the Asur River again.

Just as the city of Dali was out of sight, Falcon 1 and 3 descended. Falcon 3 rests on the river to suspend Hydro 5. There is a spray of water.

Jin and Reiko board Falcon 1. As they do so, they take out an ampule of recovery medicine from the first-aid kit provided and ask Reiko to hurry up and deliver it to Reinhardt.

"Okay, but father, you must never leave the Falcon, okay?

Reiko reminded him. Jin smiled and nodded his head.

Then I'll hurry up and go.

With that, Reiko disappeared.

Reiko completed the three-kilometer distance in about one minute. She was traveling at nearly 200 kilometers per hour.

Mr. Reinhardt.

Oh, hey, Reiko, what's up?

"Here's your recovery medicine. It works well, so divide it into two half doses."

Reiko then presented an ampoule of the recovery medicine.

"Oh, this is it. Thank you for taking the trouble."

Reinhardt took it with thanks.

"Well, I'll take this."

Reiko turned and walked away like the wind.

"Father!　Are you all right?

"Oh, Reiko, you're early."

"...... thank God you're all right."

"Of course I'm fine. What do you think I am?

But Reiko didn't answer,

"Come on, come on, let's go home."

Jin said. Jin understood Reiko's sentiment and ordered Sky 11 to return.

Falcon 1 and 3 soared into the dawn sky.

Falcon 3, with Hydro 5 suspended above it, was as fast as Falcon 1. This is due to the application of wind magic to control the flow of air around the aircraft.

The same is true for the . All the thick fuselage models are equipped with the same function.

On the way back to Horai Island, Jin explained to Erza how he rescued Reinhardt with the manacam.

On the other side of the manacam, Erza was breathing a sigh of relief. Perhaps she was remembering the time when she had been kidnapped.

After that, Jin takes a nap for a short time. Reiko stares at his sleeping face.

Falcon 1 flew toward Horai Island in the direction of the rising sun on the horizon.
