The landed on a flatland near the village of Quent.

The pilot, Golem, Hope, has been quietly doing maintenance work while the others have been away.

Once the maintenance was done, they cleaned up.

They are always doing maintenance work so that the guests can use the facility comfortably.

It was when the work was finished.

"......?"

<.

The number was 10.

"......This reaction...... is not human, but a golem."

Hope raised the alert level and prepared the <> to take off at any moment. At the same time, they deploy a .

They wait for 5 minutes.

<, the approaching Golem becomes visible.

"Is this ......?"

The form of the Golem is somewhat familiar.

"......It looks like the golem used by Tomoshide Yoda and his friends."

However, there are some differences.

It has a more combat-oriented exterior and a mace-like weapon in its hand.

"It's not a friendly approach by any means. ......"

< surrounding them. Weapons in hand.

"Let's just take off here as a precaution."

Hope takes off the <>.

Two seconds later, five maces were thrown at the location where the <> was.

"<>, continue to deploy. Barrier attribute partially changed."

Now that the <> is flying as a <>, the gases are changed to a passable barrier.

This is because the mace, which is solid, can be blocked.

And sure enough, five maces came flying and hit the <>, falling to the ground in vain.

"It would be safer to rise a little higher, wouldn't it?"

Hope raised the <> to an altitude of 100 meters.

At that altitude, the 10 golems on the ground seemed to have nothing to do, and after looking up at them for a while, they gave up and walked away.

"......What in the world was that?"

Hope decided to talk to the old man.

All the images of what had happened were sent to the old man.

In addition, the old man would have seen more than the whole thing through his "peepers".

<

"Who or what is controlling it?"

"So why did this hit us?"

<<

"What for?"

<<> earlier.

"If it gets in the way of ......, that is, for that <> who is manipulating it, right?"

<

"You mean that this mastermind is trying to use his power for evil?

<

"Then where are those ten headed?"

<

"Then is the master in danger?"

<

"Then you can rest assured. We are standing by to answer the master's call at any time.

Ten of the twenty Land troops were deployed to surround the village headman's house where Jin was staying.

Of the remaining ten, five were deployed near Goose and Merce, and the other five to protect Saki and Rubina.

Of course, they are invisible to the public because of their stealth.

Jin and the others were in the parlor of the village chief's house,

"Mr. Rouzou, Mr. Mighty, something is approaching.

MS-081 announced in a quiet voice.

(It also has a detection function. It seems to be quite powerful.)

Reiko had already detected it with her own magi radar two minutes before, and moreover, the old man had warned her about it.

Even so, the detection capability of the MS-081 is outstanding in this day and age.

What?

What the hell is approaching?

It looks like a golem.

A golem?

Rouzou Chioda and Maitai Kouno are surprised by the report.

Jin and Erza were not that surprised, since Reiko had secretly shown them a note to that effect.

Goh, however, was not so surprised.

"Jin-sama, what in the world is going on!

"I don't know, I don't know. What should we do, Mr. Mighty, Mr. Mighty, ......?

"Well,...... this MS-081 has some fighting power, and it can beat any golem. However, since there is only one of them, I think it would be better to have it be on the defensive.

"I agree. ......, but what about the defense of this village?"

"There you have it.......What should we do.......MS-08 1, how many golems are approaching?

"Yes, we think there are about ten of them."

"10 golems?　......The number is too different. ......"

Luzo Chioda's complexion changes.

If he took on one of them, he would be attacked by the remaining nine.

He was truly outnumbered.
