< purchased the Magi Crystal from a in the town of Urau.

It was a in the town of Urau.

The store itself, however, is located in the town of Gailof. In other words, a branch office.

"Hmmm, another ."

With all these facts, there seems to be no room for doubt .......

"But it's a store with a funny name, isn't it?"

said Landau Rakushe, owner of <>.

"<> is the name of the store, isn't it?　Normally it would be called XX Distributor, wouldn't it?

"That may be true."

Jin D also thought that this was what he had been thinking from the beginning rather than .......

However, there is no doubt that it is easy to remember. It also differentiates it from others.

In that sense, this naming may be a success .......

Anyway, Jin D was surprised at the surprisingly wide spread of this organization called ">".

(I guess I need to do some serious research. ......)

* * * *

And that is what the old man was thinking too.

>.

"Yes, do it."

Jin, who is piloting Jin D, is able to reply to this level of questioning.

With Jin's approval, the old man decides to deploy the <> and the <>.

* * * *

Meanwhile, Jin D was relieved that his visit was over.

And so was the owner of the workshop, Landau Rakushe.

"Thank you, Mr. Jin.

"No, I am very impressed with your quick response.

I am honored to hear you say so. By the way, ......

By the way...?"

Landau looked pleased at Jin D's words, but his face immediately turned into a frown.

Then he opened his mouth slowly.

"Um, ...... this is a very impolite request, but ......"

What is it?

The ......, the ......, the ......, the .........

Please do not hesitate to tell us. If I can't do it, I'll say no.

"Yes,...... then,......."

However, he was still reluctant to start the conversation.

When Jin D urged him once again, Landau finally opened his mouth.

"Well, I was wondering if you could show me a piece of your ...... ability, Miss Reiko.

"What?"

"...... a dainty automaton with a performance that is said to be the strongest in the world. Our goal is also to be the best in the world. But that's just our goal."

"Yes."

"To maintain our motivation, we would like to know how high we are aiming for.

If it's something as simple as ......, that's fine."

"Oh!　Thank you!

Thank you!

I could hear people outside the reception room thanking him.

I looked and saw the craftsmen bowing outside the room.

"I think they were listening outside. They can't help it.

The owner of the workshop, Landau Rakushe, smiles bitterly.

* * * *

Behind the workshop was an open space the size of two tennis courts.

It is a place to test golems and magic tools.

"Well, since you're here, would you like to have a mock battle with our Golem?"

"Okay. ...... okay, Reiko?"

Yes, no problem.

This is the latest model of the battle golem, RR27.

Type RR27 is about 2 meters tall. He was about 2 meters tall. He had a stout build and appeared to be a power-type golem.

"Do you fight in combat?　Or do you use weapons?"

Landau answered Jin D's question,

"Let's have a fight.

Landau answered.

"Okay. Reiko, are you in?

"Yes, sir."

If your back stays on the ground for three seconds, you lose.

I like that.

Jin D approved, thinking it was like wrestling.

"Then both sides, get ready. Let's start ......!

The game started casually, as it was an informal, mock battle.

But the content is so rich that it's hard to tell.

Reiko's power is at five percent.

Reiko can now overpower most golems one-on-one.

And RR27 was probably at 80% power, and the two collided.

It was not a physical collision, however.

First, Reiko took advantage of her small stature and landed a foot strike.

RR27 lost her balance, but got back on her feet without any danger.

Then, Reiko came up behind RR27 and followed up with a flying kick.

However, RR27 avoided the attack.

However, she was forced to dodge, and this time she was knocked down.

Reiko did not miss the opportunity and delivered another roundhouse kick to the head.

RR27 caught the kick with her right arm, but finally fell down.

However, he rolled over to get away from her and got back on his feet immediately.

"That's quite a feat!"

When Jin D. praised him, Landau smiled happily.

"I'm very proud of you."

But Jin, who was piloting Jin D, instructed Reiko with the built-in manacam.

<

If this were a battle, I would have allowed 20 or 30 percent and finished it off at once, but this time it was a mock battle.

But this was a mock battle, and Jin was aiming for a moderate victory.

"Oh?　Did you notice any change in Miss Leco's movements?

"I have increased the power output.

Reiko's movements were clearly different even to the naked eye.

Because the output was increased, the speed also increased.

RR27 was completely unable to keep up with her movements.

Reiko, who was playing with RR27 with her speed, was looking for an opening.

Reiko came behind RR27 and lightly kicked the back of her knee, which resulted in a magnificent <.

Naturally, RR27 falls down behind her.

That was what Reiko was aiming for.

RR27 falls on his back, but twists his body to keep his back from falling.

Reiko caught him behind her and held his neck.

Then, she twists her body further in the same direction as RR27 twisted her body. <

This is not a wrestling or Sumo wrestling move, but literally a neck throw.

If you do this to a human, you will probably break his/her neck.

But a golem can do it.

He had anticipated this.

RR27 was thrown at us with an earth-shaking sound.

Its back is completely on the ground.

And it took about 3 seconds to get up from the ground, because it had been dug into the ground so much by the impact of the throw.

In other words, Reiko won.

"Oh, this is the power of Miss Reiko ......!　"Thank you, Miss Reiko, for taking care of me.

"Thank you very much!"

"Thank you very much!"

The craftsmen all thanked him.

"We know that we are far from the summit we have set our sights on. But that is why we will continue to work hard.

Good luck."

Jin D. and Landau Rakushe shake hands.

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

After escaping from Landau Laksche and the craftsmen who were trying to persuade them to stay, Jin D. and Reiko left the town of Gailof.

They boarded the , which was waiting for them there, and headed for Horai Island.

The next day, the 22nd, is the day of the mission with Arnold and the others. .......
