"You ......, why are you here!　Where's the Golem?

"Oh, that little wooden figure?　He's just lying on the floor in the hallway. Reiko?

"Yes, Father."

Reiko threw a large chunk of steel through the door opening. Delight rushes to avoid it, but is surprised to see it roll to the floor with a loud thud.

"What!"

It was the head of a golem of the same type as Grainne's.

"How did you ...... destroy it?

"How did you ...... do that, Reiko?"

"Yes. I didn't bother to answer you, did I?

"...... what?"

At that moment Princess Rieschen spoke up.

"Oh Delight, give it up. I have heard every word you have said. And now that Jin has moved, you no longer stand a chance. Now you must admit your guilt."

But Delight would not listen.

"Shut up!　It's over. Rekar!　Get ready to move out!　Grainne!　Get her!"

The generic lekker broke through the window and jumped out onto the balcony. It seems that the balloon was hidden in a large wooden box there.

Meanwhile, Grainne, a heavy-duty golem, smashes the table that Erza used as a shield, and closes in on her. It seems that it intends to take Erza hostage.

But Edgar stands in her way.

"......Edgar......"

"Erza-sama, I'll take care of this."

"Yes."

Edgar did not avoid the blow from Grainne. If he dodged, he might have hit Erza.

"Edgar, are you okay?"

Yes.

Yes.

Near the door, Delight was being seized by Reiko.

"Give it up. You're not going to get away from me."

"Ugh!　We're not out of options yet.　Laktar!　Kiser!　Kullaro!

Whoa, whoa!　......

Princess Rieschen panics.

In response to Delight's voice, three heavy-duty golems ......, or battle golems, break through the wall of the next room and appear.

"Kill them all!"

Delight's words were unintentional, and three golems attacked.

"Look out, Father!"

One of them swung a fist at Jin and Princess Rieschen, and Reiko stood between Jin and the golem. Naturally, Delight breaks free and runs to the window to leap from the window to the balcony.

"Don't let it get away!"

What?

At Jin's voice, someone from the covert maneuver unit (SP) seems to have applied a to him while he remained out of sight. Delight rolled over and stopped moving.

But the battle golem that had received the order did not stop.

"Reiko, you're in the castle, don't do anything too fancy!

"Yes, sir."

There are knights and maidens on the lower floors. If the floor were to come loose, they could be seriously injured, so Jin warned them to be careful. In this respect, he had more leeway than Elsa.

As for Reiko, if she had Momoka, she could cut through them in a flash and that would be the end of it, but unfortunately, she could not bring weapons inside the castle.

On the other hand, the battle golems had no such reservations and attacked Jin and the others with all their might.

However, Reiko did not care about such a disadvantage. In fact, she was wondering what kind of measures she should take.

(You shouldn't use the transfer gun ...... in public. Light flux (laser)...... is also flashy, and electromagnetic induction (induction)...... takes a bit of time)

Reiko is considering this kind of thing in about 0.2 seconds.

And the conclusion.

"<>"

It is a weapon that forcibly converts mana back into free magic element (ether). Despite its effectiveness, it is difficult for the onlooker to understand what has happened.

It is a golem without a magical reactor or even an ether converter.

If the mana in its mana tank runs out, it will no longer be able to operate.

"Father, let's take out the control core.

"Good work, Reiko."

Once the control cores are removed from the three motionless Golems, the Golems are mere scarecrows. In no time at all, Jin has extracted the control cores from the three Golems.

"......"

Princess Rieschen was speechless, not understanding what had happened or how Reiko had neutralized the golem.

* * * *

On the other hand, the improved and strengthened Edgar was able to overcome the difference in size of more than five times.

Not only did he catch the fist, he lunged forward and delivered a front kick.

The kick was slightly upward, and despite the weight difference, he succeeded in making his opponent float and fall down.

However, Elsa's face turned pale when she saw that the floor stone had cracked.

"Edgar, be careful or the floor will fall out.

"Yes, sir."

The weight of the grain must be close to 500 kilograms. It is not surprising if it steps through the floor.

Edgar decides to change his attack.

He takes out his knife. It is a knife made of the shell of a gigantopod, which can cut through steel.

It was thrown by Edgar's power and easily pierced through the armor of the glen.

Two knives destroyed the magi crystals that control vision. The originally sluggish movements of the victim are now even slower.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Edgar used the knife in his hand to slice through the armor plate of Grainne's chest.

The steel plate falls to the floor with a loud noise. The cracks in the floor spread further.

But that was the end.

With the armor plate gone, the inner magi device was exposed, and the control core was grabbed by Edgar, and the grain stopped working completely.

"Erza-sama, it's over."

"......Edgar, thank you. ......<<>"

Erza strengthened the cracked floor and joined the cracks.

"......, that's a relief."

"Elsa!"

Someone suddenly hugged Erza, who breathed a sigh of relief after avoiding an accident in which the floor fell out.

Erza's body stiffened, but when she realized it was Jin, her face turned bright red.

"Uh-uh, Jin, brother?

"Are you okay?　Are you all right?　They didn't hurt you, did they?"

"......, yeah."

"Yeah. I'm ...... glad to hear that."

Jin said, but he still held Erza in his arms.

"...... Jin, brother, it's a little bit painful.

As one would expect, it is a bit painful to be hugged by the now physically strengthened Jin with all his might.

"I'm sorry."

Jin let go of his hand in a hurry. Jin's face was red as if he had been boiled.

"......Ah."

Erza was relieved to be free from Jin's arms, but also disappointed to lose the warmth of his arms.

"Jin, that golem is getting away!"

Jin and Erza, who had turned red, were roused to their senses by Rieschen's voice.

On the balcony, a hot air balloon was about to take off.
