< may be looking for an interpersonal interface, the plan is as follows.

First, deploy Jin-side automata to <>.

Temporarily restore the function of the transfer magic circle, and lure the golem of the <> to the <>.

The automata of Jin's side are brought back to the golem in the <>.

The Jin side can send their agents to the without any effort.

This is the reason why they have decided to scrap their original plan.

Jin and the others knew from experience that in a situation like this, being too particular about the plan would lead to a disaster.

* * * *

"I guess it would be Yumie or Vera.

"But they were destroyed by the enemy golem, weren't they?　How are you going to pretend it's fixed?"

<> reacts to it.

Probably the golem at the <> won't care that Yumie and Vera are back together after being destroyed, the old man said.

.

"I see.

* * * * * *

Jin used to inform Yumie and Vera of the situation.

"Okay. Leave it to us.

"When you say enhancements, are you going to add any functions?"

"Oh, yes. <

Jin then pauses the two bodies, and proceeds to make the modifications as he has declared.

He is assisted by Reiko and three <.

Since there is still some time to spare, the work is done at a normal speed. So the modification was finished after 20 minutes.

"There we go. ......<"

"Yes, master."

Yes, master.

Yumie and Vera both get up and report that everything is fine after a self-check.

They said they understood the newly added features.

"Okay. ...... should be enough to make a battle golem like that a non-issue, but please keep your abilities under wraps until the last minute."

"Yes, Master."

I understand.

Then take the warp gate to the island base. I'm counting on you.

Yes, sir. I'll take care of it.

I will be of service.

And the two warp gate units move to the island base.

The two then used the warp gate to move to the island base.

At the island base, there are currently 10 Land troops and 10 Smiths who are conducting a survey.

They temporarily suspend their investigations and return to Horai Island.

After that, Yumie and Vera dismantle the warp gate that had been installed.

This eliminates the danger of an invasion to Horai Island.

Next, the magic circle that has stopped functioning is repaired.

Since we had considered the possibility of such a situation, we had only erased a part of the magic circle, so the restoration was easy.

So far, as planned.

All that remains is to wait for the arrival of the battle golem dispatched by the magic brain of the .

* * * *

The time came surprisingly quickly.

The day after the 17th, that is, before dawn on the 18th, two battle golems from the <> invaded the <> using the transfer magic circle. "They're here, aren't they?

"They're here, aren't they, Yumie?"

"Yes, Vera."

The two wait with bated breath. The location is in front of the vault.

Two battle golems appeared immediately.

When the battle golems found Yumie and Vera, they came to capture them without question.

They did not resist and were captured meekly.

As the old man had expected, the two golems captured Yumie and Vera without question and returned to fulfill their orders.

The two golems had captured Yumie and Vera without question.

"The old man was right. You were right.

Jin used his "peepers" to watch Yumie and Vera being captured at the island base.

Watching the movements of the battle golem, it was obvious that it did not have an advanced control core like the golems on Horai Island.

"That's right. Now we just need to figure out what to do with that ."

<>.

"Yes. ...... even if it is <>, it is still <>."

<> to the >.

"Yes."

< because they saw the .

Jin-Makina's camp can be known to have a . Or rather, it has been known in the past.

<

Please."

Jin and the others decided to wait and see how Yumie and Vera would be treated.

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

The two battle golems, each carrying Yumie and Vera on its shoulders, were heading for the .

Or, more precisely, the underground .

Yumie and Vera, who are being carried by the golem, communicate with each other and with the old man using the built-in manacam (manacam), and keep in touch with each other.

Yummy, this golem doesn't respond to our calls.

Same here, Vera.

...... so it looks like these two don't have much in the way of control cores, as you suspected.

Yes, they are. But we can never be too careful.

I know.

Even though their control cores aren't much, they do have stealth.

Yeah. Even at night, there's still a chance someone could see you. <

The eastern sky is getting lighter, but there is still some time before dawn.

We'll have to wait until they've been taken to the enemy base, Vera.

Until then, we'll just observe and report.

We still have a few more hours before the showdown. .......
