An enemy base was discovered in the basement of a fort a little north of Lutgla.

It was in the basement of a fort a little north of Lutgla.

"Is that a ?"

<

"I see."

There used to be a in the Kingdom of Franz. It was a <> built during the time of the Magi Wars and controlled by a magical brain.

Jin neutralized it, modified the magical brain and named it <>, and gave it instructions to manage the Kunlun Island and moved it there.

But the fortress a little north of Lutgula is not a Magi Fortress, the old man said.

<>.

"I see. Is it unfinished in a sense there too?"

, however, is the problem for the time being.

That is the immediate problem.

"It's a fortress in the Kingdom of Selroa. ...... I guess we should report it in case."

<>? >>

"Are you available now?"

< and am getting ready for tomorrow.

"......, I'll have Makina ask the King of the Kingdom of Cerroa to investigate the ruins from the time of the Great Magic War that remain in the basement of the fortress."

It may seem a little roundabout, but since the town of Lutgra is nearby, he decided that it would be best not to take the liberty of entering and investigating the < ...... and suppressing it.

And since Machina III and are officially treated as different persons, Jin decided that there would be no problem for a short time.

He was also relieved that the old man would coordinate the schedule.

"Well, then, Mr. President, that's the policy for the <>."

"Then, let's strengthen Yumie and Vera seriously.

"Strengthening?"

Yumie asked back to Jin's words.

"Yes, that's right. The two of them have only been repaired as a stopgap measure. I want them to be useful for a long time to come, so I'm trying to make them as good as Anne, Lol, and Leffa.

"Equal?"

Now Vera expressed her doubts.

It seems that she doesn't understand the current status of her senior blue-haired automata.

That is understandable. The two automata, which are almost at their default performance, do not have the ability to detect the strength of others.

"Oh. ...... well, enough to fight off the invading golem ...... with a bit of time to spare."

In fact, it is probably more than that, but it is just a simple way of expressing it.

"That's wonderful. I would love to have it.

"Master, please."

"Yes."

In this way, Jin started the full-scale remodeling of Yumie and Vera.

He calls Reiko from Leuthart to assist him.

Fortunately, since it is nighttime in Leuthart now, Jin D. is supposed to be sleeping, so there is no need to worry that Reiko, who is guarding him, will not notice that he is not in the room.

"Father, let me help you."

Reiko is in a good mood now that she has been assigned as his assistant, since she has only been able to be with Jin through the mini-Reiko for a while now.

"I'll make sure you have the same specs as the current refs."

"Yes."

Since the first modification, Reffa has been improved a lot, and her performance has become extraordinary (though not as good as Reiko's).

As of now, the skeleton is made of 64 light silver, and the musculature is a hybrid of <> and .

Its skin is made of ground spider resin (GSP), and its power source is a <>.

It also has a sense of touch and is equipped with countermeasures against <>.

These are the main specifications.

It should be noted that Yumie and Vera's built-in <> have been removed.

They are strong enough without them. .......

The appearance remains the same.

But the <> will be upgraded.

The memories and other basic information are inherited in their entirety, so their personalities, words, and actions remain unchanged.

This is the reason why Jin says that the remodeling is almost a new creation, but it is only a .

According to Jin, <>. The same is true of golems and automata.

Even if the body is replaced, if the basic information corresponding to the <> remains the same, they are the same.

Therefore, Jin and Reiko proceeded with the remodeling of the two bodies.

* * * *

"How are you, how are you?"

"Yes, I'm doing very well."

"I've never been in better shape."

In an hour or so, the modification of the two bodies is finished, and Hitoshi and Reiko are checking the operation.

"Good. Do you have the knowledge of the body's configuration and functions in the auxiliary memory?

"Yes, I can."

Yes, that's fine. Just go to .......

"Just what?"

"...... I don't think this is at the level of being able to fight off an invading golem with a little time to spare."

Jin laughed when he heard that.

"Oh, you know that much. I guess so. I'm guessing that even if there were ten of those golems, you'd still be able to fight them off with a little time to spare."

"Thank you for ......."

I will serve you with my life.

Yumie and Vera's loyalty was maxed out from the beginning.

* * * *

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Selroa.

Even though it was nighttime, a heated debate was going on in the assembly.

"There are various kinds of narcotics. Some can be used for medical purposes, while others are highly toxic.

"So you're saying we can't crack down on drugs unilaterally without knowing what they are?"

"Yes."

"That's not right. Our country is a nation governed by the rule of law. What is wrong with exercising our judicial power in accordance with the laws we have established?

If the law is not appropriate, why should we hesitate to change it?

Wait, wait. That makes it sound like you don't want to crack down on drugs, so you want to change the law ...... or worse."

"What?　Are you insulting me?

No, I have no intention of insulting you. No, I have no intention of insulting you, but you might want to rethink what you're saying.

"Gnu......"

"After all, what are we going to do about the <> and the <>?"

"............"

King Bozar Valois de Cerloa, who was also the chief executive of the assembly, sighed inwardly.

(There is no cohesion in the assembly. Is this because of the presence of a hand from the Sori Society (......), or is it because of the ......)

The suspicions are only growing.
