On February 25, 3902, a special meeting was convened at the royal castle of the Kingdom of Celuloa.

In attendance were the royal family: King Beaux-Arts Valois de Selrois, his uncle Francis Valois de Selrois, and his brother Marcel Valois de Selrois.

The Prime Minister Dine Seme de Pars, the Minister of Justice Largos Lieperg, the Minister of Magic and Technology Seriin Kokdan Memento, the Minister of Administration Dite Quinier Laroua, the Director of Intelligence Alon Faal Zeta, and the Commander of the Kingsguard Tenin.

And Tenin Khanewan, Commander of the Kingsguard.

This is a secret meeting of those whom the king has determined to be absolutely trustworthy.

"Now, we have gathered here to discuss, to put it bluntly, how to deal with the crisis in our country.

No one interrupted to ask what he meant.

They have already read the report of the king's uncle, Francis Valois de Cerlois.

One of the reports stated that members of the <> had infiltrated the heart of the kingdom of Celuloa.

Of course, this is unofficial information.

But it was very reliable.

"It is well known that the day before yesterday, the was virtually destroyed by the work of , , and . However, a subordinate or derivative organization of the MagiCraft Meister is the Ekitor. The threat from that group still remains.

With a sigh, King Bozar announced.

"Fanatics are a nasty bunch, aren't they?

Tenin Khanewan, the leader of the Kingsguard, folded his arms and frowned.

"Your Majesty, do you know their names?"

the Prime Minister asks.

But the king shook his head.

I don't know. There are those who have some idea who they are, though..."

"Well, ...... it would be bad if they were falsely accused.

Then, is there anything we can do to expose them?

That's one of the purposes of this meeting.

"Hmm. ......"

Everyone is speechless with thought. The matter is that serious and difficult to solve.

"Maybe we can talk to <> and they can give us some solutions, but for now we want to do something on our own."

King Bozar says seriously.

"I don't want our country to be a country that, when faced with a problem, immediately turns to others.

"Your Majesty..."

I understand your feelings very well.

And the meeting continues: .......

In Kupu, the cleanup was reaching its climax.

The center of the work is the remodeling of the .

Thirty <41 to 70 are working on the project.

They are supposed to be the golems of Deus ex Machina III.

The work was progressing at a ridiculously fast pace, with 30 <s going at it.

"Wow, this is amazing!

"This one has a better atmosphere.

"This is going to help the town!"

Onlookers are shouting in admiration.

< is a sight to behold.

The spire, which used to resemble a pyramid with a spire on its exterior, has been removed, and the pyramid now has windows, eaves, and a small roof.

The color of the exterior walls has been changed to a brighter color to soften the atmosphere.

In the future, it will serve the community as a <>.

"There are almost no drug addicts here anymore.

Mei Shai Joey, deputy director of the Medical Research Institute of <>, said as she checked the list of Kupu residents.

"Yes, it's finally over."

<

Chell had stayed here in Kupu because she could treat addiction to the drug Fana.

There were a few drug addicts not only in Kupu, but also in the surrounding towns.

There are also many very mild patients ...... who visited Kupu as tourists and were snorted once, but they are not treated because once is not enough to become addicts.

If they are not separated in this way, the work will never be completed.

Of course, we are always ready to provide treatment for addicts who are found to be addicts after the completion of the process.

Specifically, Jin is developing a magical tool that will be as effective as Chell's treatment.

"Thirty-two people with health problems are staying at their homes for now, but tomorrow this will be almost complete, and we will admit them to the hospital facility."

"That's quite a quick response. <

Thank you, Mr. Chell.

No problem. It is in our interest as well.

What Chelle means by "benefit" is that Jin and Machina III have agreed to reorganize the basement of Fort Lutgla.

Especially the improvement of the magic brain called <> in <<1st basement>.

(That magic brain was too bad. ......)

Therefore, it is safe for Chel to have Jin or Machina III rebuild it.

(They also said they would take a look at the <>, and also ......)

And there was another problem, what to do with <> (that one is too incomplete).

(It is too incomplete there, so it might be better to give the management to <> in some cases. ...... Well, I don't have the right to make such a decision.)

The only person who has the authority to make such a decision is Chel's colleague, the magic brain, in the current situation.

Both Chelle and her magic brain were created by the same engineer ......<>, and they are monitoring each other to prevent each other from going out of control.

It is a bit like the relationship between Reiko and the old man.

(When this mess is over, I wonder if Jin-sama or Machina-sama will let us visit their base. ......)

) Such are the thoughts of Chelle.

In Horai Island, Jin was worrying about the cleanup.

"Oh my god, it would be so much easier if we could just throw it all to <>."

"I understand. That's why I'm helping him in various ways under the name of Machina."
