May 4th is Marikka's birthday.

As usual, all the gathered at Horai Island and held a birthday party.

"Happy birthday, Marikka.

"Happy birthday, Marikka."

"Happy birthday, Marikka!"

"Thank you, everyone."

Marikka smiled happily.

Again, no gifts, just congratulations.

However, the cafeteria in the research center on Horai Island was decorated with flowers, creating a cheerful atmosphere.

"Everyone is very friendly to each other, aren't they?

Arnold, who joined the this year, said sincerely.

"Well, yes. We've known each other for a long time.

"We're friends in the true sense of the word."

Jin and Zion answered Arnold's words.

"<>...... are nice."

Arnold said in a deep voice.

"No hierarchy, no giving or receiving orders, saying what you want to say, and respecting each other. ......"

Such a relationship was unthinkable at the time, Arnold said.

"We are friends, partners, and subjects. It's a strange kind of ."

Arnold's words were echoed by the <> Turles.

He used to be a follower of the .

Now he is Marikka's faithful servant.

I guess Marikka thinks of him more as a dependable uncle than a servant.

"<>, huh?"

Jin also ruminates over these words.

What he has gained in this world.

It all started with his knowledge of magic as a and the island of Horai.

Now he has a best friend, a companion, and many friends.

It is also the same for Marikka.

She used to be called and call herself a , and was at odds with the people of the Laurentian continent, the current Nords.

Since Jin came to us, that has changed rapidly. For the better.

I have never forgotten the day I first met Jin.

<.

And Jin who taught us how to improve the food shortage by effectively using the fruit of the buckwheat ......<>.

It was an unexpected stroke of luck that he called on me to help him with his <> when he was building the agricultural golem <>.

The golem was being made at an unbelievably fast pace.

That day, I watched it from my side and was captivated by it.

I could not be a companion, but I could be a part of a wonderful .

"Thank you, everyone, for your continued support."

Marikka couldn't help but say these words.

"Of course..."

"It's a little late for that, Marikka."

"It's nice to meet you too."

Marikka's heart is warmed by the warm response from her friends.

On the 4th of the same month, in <>, the analysis of the giant golem and the golem for battle was about to take place.

The lecturer is Jin (his doppelganger), and the assistant lecturer is Deus ex Machina. Reiko and Rei also help as assistants.

The leader of the visitors is Arnold (a doppelganger). The following members are members of the , including Eila Siata and Gloma Trey.

Also present is golem-lover Ilmina Ratkin.

In addition, there were the four technicians we had protected this time: ...... Tomoshide Yoda, Tashima Sonode, Tokara Dare Nishi, and Sujin Siden.

"Now, I would like to start by analyzing this battle golem.

Jin began his explanation by removing the exterior of the golem.

"The exterior is nickel steel, but it has been strengthened by applying several dozen ...... times, perhaps twenty times.

"......That's right...it's been overlaid 20 times."

Tomoside Yoda corroborated Jin's explanation.

"Muscle tissue is made of metal. It is slightly ...... more efficient than the one used here in , about 10 percent more efficient and 15 percent more powerful. "Oh

"Oh ......"

"The skeleton is also made of nickel steel. <

Jin explained that since it was designed for combat, it would be able to fight in melee combat as well as in combat.

"That is correct."

Again, Tomoside Yoda affirmed.

"No special measures were taken to prevent friction at the joints, and some wear can be seen."

Jin continued his explanation as he disassembled it.

"There is one thicker magical nerve wire. This is a little bit dangerous.

Thick metal wires are indeed strong and sturdy, but they are vulnerable to bending.

Jin explained that wiring multiple thin conductive nerve wires would improve reliability.

"I see. ......"

"That's a good reference for us too."

Tomoshide Yoda and the other four were also impressed by this explanation.

"Now, as is usual in the Adriana style, the important equipment seems to be concentrated in the chest area. First of all, there is the < and >. ......"

Jin opened the chest to reveal two devices.

"You are using some good quality magi crystals. You should be able to get enough power to make a good change.

Jin thus proceeded to explain the device as if it were water on a plank.
