Jin, Elsa D., Zion, Donasia and the others returned to to discuss the matter.

"...... what should we do about Lardus? Erza, he's not doing so well, is he?"

"Nah. His life expectancy is less than a year at best.

"Well, ...... I'm in trouble."

Jin's character did not want to punish Lardus or hand him over to such an institution.

"Human emotions are difficult ......."

Jin let out such a mutter unintentionally,

"Yes, I understand."

Theon agreed with me.

"A politician is not allowed to show favoritism, but when he does, he is always said to be , isn't he?

"But Zion and Belialus are neither ruthless nor cold-hearted, aren't they?"

When Jin said this to Zion, Zion replied,

"In our case, you see, the number of people in the entire clan is small.

If we knew everyone, we could treat them fairly," he said.

"Yes, in other words, it's <, not ......<."

"What's going on all of a sudden?"

Jin's muttering seemed out of context, so Zion asked back.

"No, I was thinking that it might be difficult to entrust Lardus to <> or <>, and then my thoughts jumped a bit."

"Oh, I see. Well, I guess the World Congress would be in trouble too."

The members are not emotionless machines, but human beings with blood in their veins," Zion chuckled.

"That's right,...... I know it's definitely not a good idea to let your emotions get the better of you. But I can't prevent my emotions from getting involved in my decisions. ......"

"Has Jin ever had such an experience in the past?"

Zion asked curiously.

"Jin is an engineer, so I don't think he has had many opportunities to do so."

"Well, that's true. But I'm nervous when I use my subordinates and subordinates ......."

"Not the golem ......, but the human subordinates?"

"Yeah. I haven't had that many opportunities,...... but when I've been invited to various countries to build large scale <."

It would be easier for the Houraishima group to do what I want," Jin said.

"Well, I understand."

"That's why I'm tempted to do everything myself, but that doesn't foster the development of engineers."

"It's also a good idea to have too much technology. ......

Zion laughed bitterly.

"Brother Jin, it's more about the treatment.

The conversation had gotten so far off-topic that Elsa D. rebuked me.

"Oh, yes, that's right. ......What is Elsa's opinion?"

"......I think we have to think about the victims."

"Victims or ......."

Jin himself feels at most << annoyed>, so he doesn't have much hatred for Lardus.

But there are many who do not.

For example, Lubark Bassi.

We do not know how long he has been subjected to , but it has made him haughty toward his friends and even prevented him from learning , so to speak, and has ruined his life.

For example, the Duke of Jagus, Niestor Cirillo Jagus.

He was not only a dictator, but also spread the seeds of conflicts to neighboring countries, and forced merchants to trade unequally with each other by using "euphoria pills".

It is hard to imagine how many people were indirectly affected.

"...... I still think it would be best to turn this place over to the <>."

"I agree.

Theon nodded in agreement.

"When Lardus recovers enough to get out of that capsule,......," he said. Jin, do you think we can make a capsule for transportation?"

"For transportation?　...... Oh, I see."

Jin guessed that Zion was asking for such a to take Lardus to .

"I think I can do it. Right, Erza?"

"Yes.

If Jin and Erza worked together, they could create such a in a short time. ......

"Father, there is an urgent message from Regulus 47.

Mini Reiko, who had stepped down from her stationary position on Jin's shoulder and was sitting on the table, raised her voice urgently.

"What?　What's going on?"

"...... Lardus is ......"

"Lardus?"

"...... he escaped."

What?

What?

What have you done?

Jin, Elsa D., Zion, Donecia and the others turned back in a hurry.

* * * * * *

Jin rushed to the infirmary and first checked the situation.

"Regulus 47, what's going on?

"Chief, I'm sorry."

bowed his head.

Lardus was no longer in the medical capsule in front of him.

"He was forced to escape from inside the capsule by means of a transfer magic circle for escape.

"I didn't know there was such a thing. ......"

Jin frowned.

"When I found out, I couldn't stop it."

<

"<

"I see. ......

But where did he go with that body? ......

The 0077?

Yes, Chief, it seems the transfer device was synchronized and disappeared with Lardus.

No. ......

In the end, Lardus admitted his defeat, but he took no responsibility for what he had done, nor did he atone for his crime, much less show any remorse, and disappeared from the presence of Jin and the others.
