Goh comments on the golem maidens used in the Shoro Kingdom.

"It is composed of . It is easy to make and strong.

"Yes, and?"

"The muscles are made of metal, which is easy to maintain. So far, I think the mass-produced models have the same characteristics.

"Go on."

"...... On the contrary, the control core was of a different caliber."

The golem Samurai Maiden that Goh had repaired had a control core that had been damaged by magical noise, so Goh had analyzed it in detail.

"Yes, what is it?"

"First of all, the density of writing was different. Secondly, the syntax is very efficient and delicate overall. I therefore believe that it was damaged by the magical noise."

"I see. Perhaps you are right. You did your research, Goh.

"Thank you very much!"

Goh smiled at Jin's praise.

"Now let's go to Rubina."

"Yes. ...... Goh didn't say it, but the skeleton is made of nickel steel. Not the five-and-a-half nickel steel that Jin-sama often uses in these situations.

Adding nickel to steel increases toughness and improves performance, especially at low temperatures (and of course at room temperature).

Here in Arus, nickel was more readily available than chromium, and therefore more frequently used.

Incidentally, the main nickel ore nowadays is arsenic nickel ore. In other words, it contains both arsenic and nickel.

Furthermore, arsenic is used as a rat poison, and there is a movement to ban arsenic because it is highly poisonous.

"The nickel content is about 3 percent. It's a little low, but it seems to be enough to improve the performance of the steel."

"I suppose so. The toughness and wear resistance should be improved.

"The exterior is the same. And the joints were not coated with anything.

Hmm. Is there anything else?

Another thing I noticed is the structure of the soles.

"What?"

They're designed to absorb shock. That's to prevent them from making noise when they walk, or from spilling whatever they're carrying, right?"

"Yes. I think Rubina made the right decision. She was watching you very carefully.

"Yes, thank you!

Rubina also smiled broadly at Jin's praise.

"By the way, is there anything else?　Including Mertze?

"Others?"

"What is it?"

"......"

Jin let out a small sigh at the answer.

"No, I mean with friends my own age. ......"

"No, I don't think so. ......"

"No, I didn't. ......

"No, I didn't have any ......."

"Oh, I see."

According to the two, everyone was too childish to talk to each other.

(Well, Goh and Rubina are gifted or purely cultured, and they seem to have never played with <> people their own age, and Merce has been dating two such people for a long time. ......)

Jin sighed inwardly, thinking that it was understandable.

But then someone came to the table.

"Jin-dono, may I come in?"

By the way, if you call him <>, you will be referring to Daikki, so that's why he is called this.

"Ah, Mister Dormer."

And the one who approached Jin was Schlotgen Domer von Kabastan, Minister of the Shoro Kingdom. Jin had the impression that he was an ordinary looking man, but an accomplished one.

It's been a long time.

"It's good to see you too. ...... Goh, Rubina, Merce. This is Schlotgen Dommer von Kabastan, Minister of the Shoro Kingdom.

Elsa is acquainted with him because she came to the rescue when there was a cave-in at the Tromm mine. Not to mention Daikie and Cocona.

The three children, however, may have seen each other's faces, but they had never spoken face to face.

"Mister Goh, Miss Rubina, I'm very sorry for the trouble you've caused today by repairing our golem.

"Oh, no, we're not. ......

"......, we thought we'd fix it before all hell breaks loose."

"No, no, you're very good. Even our engineers can't do that."

"......What was that all about?"

Jin asked about the incident.

"To put it simply, it was a fight between two drunks. Two people who didn't get along happened to meet each other. ......

"I see."

Jin guessed that they were like drunken visitors at a cherry blossom viewing party.

Every country has its own nasty people who will drink as much as they can if they think it's just alcohol. ......

Was there any damage to the garden?

The golems were very protective of the garden.

I see.

After all, this is the garden beloved by His Majesty the Emperor.

...... I see.

Jin felt warm inside, knowing that the future generations also loved this place.

So,

"Let's look at the golems later. We need to restore them to the way they were, or even better, the way they were when they protected us.

He declared.

Of course, the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications was overjoyed.

"Oh, thank you very much!　Thank you very much!

And then Minister Schlotgen-Domer walked away.

Incidentally, the two men should have been punished by having their house demolished for getting drunk and fighting, but the minister refrained from saying so in front of the children.

"Jin-sama, are you going to fix the golem after this?"

"Yes. I'm ...... a little concerned about something.

Jin answers Rubina's question with a difficult look.

"Something on your mind?

"Yes. ......Goh told you, didn't he?　<

Uh, yes.

"That means... I think that the person who made the control core is different from the person who made the golem.

Oh, sure.

"That's what I was wondering. I was just wondering about that. I thought I'd check it out while I'm doing maintenance.

Erza asked a question at this point.

"Wouldn't my brother Jin let me check it out without having to go through all that trouble?"

"Well, I guess so, but it's not like I'm offering to confirm something I don't know for sure. ......"

"...... Do you think there's any danger, by any chance?"

"Yes. ...... but not a direct danger. I'd say that I feel that the golem of the Shoro Empire is in danger. ......"

With this expression, those present seemed to understand somewhat.

After that, Jin and the others enjoyed the spring garden party to their heart's content without any difficult conversations.
