The match was to be held again at the same place where Manon had held a mock battle some time ago.

< and the combat golem of the Duchy of Jags.

"Rokou, which golem do you use?"

"Ha, they seem light, so I'll use a light-armored one."

"Okay, okay."

And this time, the game will be played with weapons.

Since swords are lethal, we decided to use an iron bar of the same length as the sword.

The weight was not a problem, as both were powerful enough.

The two stand about 5 meters apart, holding the bars. And then...

"All right, let's begin!"

The Lord King Niestro Cirilo Jagus announced the start.

The first to move was the Nostalgia Golem. It instantly closed the distance and began thrusting with a stick.

Jagus Golem, on the other hand, swung its stick sideways and repelled it.

Jagus Golem then tried to hit Golem with its momentum, but <> Golem jumped back to the side with enough time to dodge.

Nostalgia Golem jumped to the side and moved 3 steps behind Jags Golem.

Jagus Golem also turns its body and tries to deal with it.

But this time, <Golem was slightly faster than JagsGolem.

Just a moment before JagsGolem changed its direction, it hit JagsGolem with a side cleave with a stick.

JagsGolem jumps and dodges.

<<>Golem also jumped and chased after it......, but JagsGolem moved sideways in mid-air.

"!!!!"

Elena's eyes widened. She had not expected it to be able to change its position in mid-air.

But she soon discovers the secret.

(Can you change your position in the air by blowing compressed air? ......!)

) It's a simple method, but quite effective.

It's a wonder such a golem hasn't appeared before.

(It seems that the Duchy of Jags has some good engineers.)

Elena has a new awareness.

The ability to change its posture in the air to some extent is an advantage in such high-speed combat.

Jagus Golem dodges the barbs of the <> Golem and turns to attack in the opposite direction. It strikes a blow from the top.

The sound of a gun is heard.

<

The two stand on the ground, again keeping their distance from each other.

* * * * * *

"Hmmm, this golem is quite good, isn't it?

The king mutters in satisfaction.

"Yes, Your Majesty. It's the newest model in our laboratory.

"Well, it's doing well. Keep up the good work."

"Yes."

Yes.

（The latest model? So that's what that equipment ...... is for.)

Elena is Elena, a lip-reader who has been listening in on the conversation between the Prince and Rokou b. Shiharou.

(I'm interested in the lab ......, can you show me ......?)

Elena thought that it would be necessary to make the other party feel superior.

So, with great reluctance, she instructs the <Golem to lose by a narrow margin.

Since it is not the Horaijima Golem, he does not use the built-in manacam, but a hand-sign.

Even if it is hand-signing, it is so fast that human eyes cannot see it, because it only needs to be communicated between Elena and the golem.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Now Jagus Golem closes the distance.

The Juggs Golem now closes the distance. <<>Golem dodged it by stepping back diagonally. ......

"Whoa!

"Ah!"

JagsGolem stepped forward and, propelled by the compressed air, approached the <>Golem a moment too soon and struck it with a cleave to the side.

"That's it!"

This time the Prime Minister stopped the battle.

"......No, no, no, it was a great fight."

"I'm awed. You are indeed very strong.

Elena responded to the Prime Minister's pleasantries with a few words of diplomacy.

Elena also greeted the prince in the same manner.

"Your Majesty, I have learned a great deal from this match.

Prince Niestro Cirilo Jagus was in a good mood,

"Mmm. "No, your golems were quite good!"

He was so proud of his golem.

Elena immediately replied,

"Your Majesty, I would like to meet and greet the people who made such a wonderful golem.

I ask.

"Well, if it's just Lady Elena ......, I'll give you permission."

Elena is only 17 years old, and her title is , which means she is a representative in name only.

The other two are also technicians, so the Prince was a bit wary of them.

"Thank you very much."

Elena bowed beautifully in curtesy to show her gratitude.

Elena then went on to give a big thank-you to one of the guests.

Elena was now alone in the Golem car.

Of course, she was accompanied by people from the Duchy of Jaguar.

Rokou b. Shiharou and four soldiers.

"We'll be at the institute soon.

A tall stone wall loomed in front of us.

And one thing stands out in particular.

"......What is that tower?"

It is a huge structure with a circular cross section, about 10 meters in diameter at the base and more than 50 meters high.

"Hmm?　Mm ......"

Lokow b. Shiharo replied cryptically.

(Perhaps this is the tower where Master Rhodes was imprisoned, as the old man told me. ......)

) Elena understood that it was understandable that he could not give a clear answer.

Then the golem car entered the wall.
