The meeting continued until 6:00 p.m., followed by a dinner.

In attendance were His Majesty King Niestro Cirilo Jagus, Prime Minister Pringles Kubo, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ben Lurtraga, Queen Cacherina Leela Jagus and Minister of Internal Affairs Zain Meziebe.

Queen Kacherina Leela Jagusz and Minister of Internal Affairs Zain Meziebe were also present.

(The queen is also a good-looking woman. ......)

The King was measured by Manon as 6 feet tall and 138 kilos, but the Queen was even taller than that.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, 164 cm, 108 kg. B9W91H92...... and quite fat.

(I guess that means he's still ...... bored).

Gaju Tugga sighed inwardly.

The menu was a world apart from the one in the Principality of Norway.

Steak of cowbread, pork cutlet, fried chicken.

Pie of barracuda (pike), fried horse mackerel.

Risotto with barley and tomatillos (tomatoes), topopo (potato) soup, fried topopo.

Wine was also served.

Manon confirmed that no drugs were served.

Gaju Tugga was thinking about various things while eating.

（The taste is fair to good.)

The use of soup stock and spices is not so good, which is probably due to the skill of the chef.

(Maybe he has been brainwashed.) When people are brainwashed, their frontal lobes work in a different way.

When people are brainwashed, their frontal lobes become sluggish, and the functions of the frontal lobes, such as emotions, interests, and concerns, are inhibited, resulting in a lack of emotions, loss of interest in things, and a lack of interest in anything.

These symptoms are fatal to those who are engaged in creative activities because they are manifested to varying degrees.

(Someone once said that a brainwashed society loses its potential for development.)

Therefore, I have been thinking that the researchers are not brainwashed, but only the administrators are.

According to the etiquette of the Principality of Jags, conversation during meals should be kept to a minimum, and Gaju Tsuga and his group were able to enjoy their meal calmly.

However, the after-dinner tea was not limited to this, and the conversation turned lively.

"Tsuga-dono, we call this a rude party. ...... But you are quite knowledgeable, aren't you? What you said earlier about your expedition was very informative.

Thank you very much.

"...... Will we be receiving a peace envoy from the World Congress after this?"

Yes, probably.

Yes, probably. I'll let you know when ............... No, we'll talk more about it tomorrow."

I hope so.

I hope so, because it's not the kind of thing you can talk about in the presence of a rude audience.

Let's change the subject. What kind of golem do you have?

"A golem ......, I see. ...... Manon knows a lot about that."

"Well, that's surprising. Well, Manon, tell us.

Manon is his valet, neither legate nor deputy, so the Prince does not use honorifics.

"Yes. Then let me be presumptuous and explain."

"Mm."

"Basically, a golem has a body shape similar to that of a human. This is so that they can shoulder human tasks and use human tools as they are.

"I see."

"I see. But there are also derivatives. The golem car you know is one of them.

Since the Duchy of Jags also has a golem car, this explanation was accepted.

"Another exception is the golem horse.

"Yes, I have heard of them.

With that as a premise, Manon moved on to the next step.

"I have taken the liberty of determining that the you are asking about is a golem of the human type, and I will now move on to the explanation. It can be used for office work, housework, civil engineering, combat, general purpose, etc. ...... depending on its purpose. ......"

Manon explained in an orderly manner.

The contents of the explanation were only what was considered common knowledge in <, and there was no problem with disclosing them,

However, it was quite interesting. Manon, thank you very much.

The king was in a good mood.

After 9:00 p.m., Gaju Tugga and his party were finally able to rest in the guest room.

After confirming that there was no danger of eavesdropping, as usual, they had a meeting to review the day's activities.

"......I think it is safe to say that the meeting was a success. Thank you."

Gaju Tugga thanked Fiona Fias and Manon for their efforts.

"Now, let me ask you again, Manon, are you sure that Fiona and I are not brainwashed?"

Gaju Tugga was most concerned about this.

"Yes. There are no brainwashing vibrations. There were no drugs in the water or food.

"I see. I see. ...... that's a little surprising."

Gaju Tugga said, to which Manon countered, "Well, that's a little surprising.

"No, it could be that they know that if they do anything to us, there will be no next time."

The people who will be sent to the next are expected to be at the level of diplomats from various countries.

It would not be surprising if there is a plan ...... to brainwash these people and send them back to their home countries to work to the advantage of the Principality of Jags," Manon said.

"I see...I see."

Even Gaju Tugga did not seem to have thought that far ahead.

"Then how should the meeting tomorrow morning work?"

"It's difficult. ...... It's no good if they lick you, and it's no good if they rebuff you. Diplomacy is hard."

Fiona Fierce sighed.

"Good luck. If you make it through tomorrow, your mission is complete. I'm sure this experience will be a big plus for you."

"Thank you. ......"

"...... So, what do you want to do?　Do you want me to do the simulation again?"

By telling them that Manon is an automata, we can let them know how much technology is out there.

So far, so good, thought Gaju Tugga.

"But will the king be impressed?"

Tsuga expected that the king would be more interested in manon than impressed.

"As expected, we cannot take on the entire force of the Duchy of Jags.

Gaju Tsuga laughed bitterly at Manon's words.

"That's right. There is no such an automaton. ......Well, joking aside, even if they want Manon, can't we just say and turn them down?"

"That's a little weak as a reason, but I think it's a good one. One more reason would be a relief.

Then Manon himself comes up with an idea.

"...... Then I will declare that I was created by ."

"Will that work?"

Fiona Fierce said anxiously.

"Yes. < carries a lot of weight, and now that you've mentioned it, if you do something unreasonable, you'll be ......"

If you do anything unreasonable with the name, you're picking a fight with the Magecraft Meister," Manon said.

Actually, Jin was not belligerent, but humans tend to measure others by their own standards.

Manon said that the king would pull back there.

"Yes, that might be a good combination."

"Yes. Yes. Let's go with that.

And so it came to be.
