Phase 2 of the operation.

It is the rescue of hostages.

<

Specifically .......

"I think I saw about three other people besides Groma and Cachea."

Jin explained to Eira and Becker that the first step would be to rescue those <.

"How do you plan to do that, Jin?"

"Yes. We have a general idea of where Cachea and Groma are being held. A golem under Machina's command will enter and rescue them. There should be other hostages nearby, so we'll rescue them at the same time.

"I see."

Jin explained that he would leave the rest to the local authorities.

"Anyway, this is an operation involving the .

"I understand."

< and received an official request from Tomax Bartman.

The fact that it is not a private action means a lot to the outside world.

No matter how much he may be a <, he cannot just run around the town with his army-worthy men without permission.

Before dawn on May 2,...... when most people are asleep,...... the operation entered its second phase.

First, from the deus ex machina <, a golem unit under his command descends.

Actually, it is a rando unit, totaling 100.

In addition to them, 10 Land troops are sent by to the front of the .

Of course, Eira and the others were kept in the dark about this.

The 100 golems scatter throughout the city. And almost without making a sound.

"Amazing ...... this is the deus ex machina lord's strength ......."

"Even looking at it again, it's still amazing......"

Eira, who has been involved in battles while in the Principality and in the , is also awed by this majesty.

"But perhaps the magic brain is aware of that, you know?"

"That's true. The brain cells don't sleep."

So half of this is a diversion?

Yes. Eira is right. They are creating a diversion and hiding their true purpose.

The true purpose is, of course, to rescue the hostages.

The real purpose is, of course, to rescue the hostages.

* * * * *

<. They are numbered 201 to 210.

So there's a hostage in the back here.

Let's go!

The built-in manacam can talk to each other in fractions of a second.

The ten Lando units set out for the place of confinement the old man had told them about.

It seems that this was a surprise attack for the magic brains, and the ten arrived at the place of confinement without being disturbed at all.

Leave Lords Katya and Groma to 209 and 210.

Roger that.

202 to 208, secure the others.

Copy that.

Copy that.

At the command of their leader, Rand 201, the seven men headed for the back of the compound.

Mr. Katya, Mr. Gromma, wake up.

Uh ...... who is it?

"Oh ......, is it Jin-san or Machina-san's golem?"

Yes, Mr. Katya. I'm here to help you under the direction of Jin-sama and Makina-sama.

Thank you!

Come this way, quickly.

Yes, sir.

Cachéa and Gloma were carried on their backs by Lands 209 and 210, respectively. This is the fastest one.

And then they escape.

<, the descending RAND team also escorts them.

The blitzkrieg operation was a great success, and they made it safely out of the town of Hurek.

Then, Jin's comes down.

"Hey, Katya!　Groma!"

"Oh, you were saved. ......"

"You made it. ......"

They saw Eira yelling and waving from the hatch, and they finally felt saved, and collapsed into a heap.

"Pull yourself together."

The Lando team supported them and carried them to the <>.

"Cachia, Groma, thank God you two are okay."

"Mr. Jin ......"

"Mr. Jin ......"

<

"Thank you, sir. ......

"Thank you for saving my life."

"I'm so sorry. You have a good rest first.

The hatch closed and the <> lifted into the sky.

Katya and Gromma are invited into the cabin. .......

"Katya!　Thank God you are safe!

Berlich Becker hugged her tightly.

"Oh, Be, Belle. ......"

Not expecting Berlich Becker to be on board this , Caciea, with a slight flush on her cheeks, let herself fall into Berlich Becker's embrace.

And Gromma, too, was in Eira's embrace.

"You're all right, Gromma!"

"Yes, I was worried about you."

I'm so sorry. I've been worried sick.

...... Well, it's not over yet.

I'm sorry.

"...... sorry."

At Jin's awkward words, the four quickly separated themselves.

"Well, it seems that there are other people who have been captured, so we are in the process of rescuing them as well. And here's the current situation: ......."

Jin explained the current situation and what had happened so far.

"Oh, so the asked Jin-san and Makina-san to help us?"

"Yes, yes."

"That's right, so I rushed over here.

Thank you so much for your help.

"...... did you get that letter to ?"

"Yes. Groma had taken the proper steps, so we were able to move quickly.

"Thank you very much for your help. Thank you very much.

Once again, Cachéa and Groma thanked Jin for his help.
