The morning of September 27th.

After the meal, Elsa is supposed to go back to her parents' house and come back with Meane to pick up her belongings.

Then Jin had a meeting with Lance.

"......I knew it. Lance has the knowledge of the generations of ."

This is probably the reason why he seems somewhat arrogant in his tone and attitude.

On the other hand, his original characterization as a lance also makes his personality quite complex.

"That's what it comes down to. The name is <, but this is only because this body was a security automaton. It was supposed to be a teacher, but we ran out of stock."

"Hmm."

"Couldn't you have created a new teacher-type body?"

Reiko asked curiously.

"Yes, Miss Reiko. We ran out of the necessary materials.

What kind of material?

"The material for the skin. It's thread from the ground spider, but we've run out of it. The creator went to the outside world to look for it, but he couldn't find the material.

Reiko did not say, "So you have found a mate, but at the same time you have taken on the seeds of trouble.

"Didn't you cultivate ground spiders?"

"They were, but they became extinct during the past 400 years.

Jin thought that the situation seemed to be different from that of Horai Island.

"I see, so their skin is composed of subterranean spider resin (GSP).

"GSP?　GSP? That's a pretty good name, isn't it? I'll call it that from now on."

Lance chuckled.

Teachers are automata that teach the next generation of researchers, and since there was little demand for them, there were not many bodies in stock.

"Come to think of it, they look the same as the we were looking for, don't they?"

"Yes, Reiko. The Sword, which has a purely security control core, is better at controlling this body. Besides, we didn't want to hurt them as much as possible, so we had to fight hard."

"I don't think that was much of a struggle, though."

"Ugh, don't say that. I'm aware of that.

"Well, what about the parts that were stolen and who stole them?"

I have a rough idea. One of the parts emits magic. It seems to be in the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Selroa, near the border with the Kingdom of Franz.

He got this from the results of checking the direction from different places.

It is a good thing that he has a good grasp of the basics of surveying.

"Well, ...... Reiko, do you have a map?"

"Yes, we do.

I have given out maps of the world before, so I guess we have a copy here at the mansion.

Here it is.

"Oh, Miss Reiko, this is wonderful."

Lance looked at the map and exclaimed in admiration.

"Well, this is Mount Suhonto, and you can go north this way to ......."

Lance pointed to a small lake and some old buildings to the north of the lake.

"This is the site of a fort."

"Hmm. ......"

（Maybe the culprits are remnants of the Unification Party (Unifiler).

Jin intuitively thought so, as an organization using the ruins of the fort.

The former Unified Party (Unifiler) had a base in the ruins of Kasimunore, the place where Elena once slept.

There were quite a few people who were not brainwashed by Elena, but took advantage of their goal of world domination, and some of those who escaped capture after the destruction of the Unifilers still had ambitions.

The Unification Party (Unifiler) and the Nostalgia Party (Nostalgia) have been pursuing such people who disturbed the world peace, but there must be some who have not been captured.

I suspect that the man who started the series of incidents may be one of them.

When I told this story to Lance,

"Hmm, interesting story. I didn't know there was such a case.

He seemed to be thinking about it.

"I only know what I know, but there must be more such forts and bases. Some of them may be useful to us if we make use of them.

"I'd like to know about them when this whole mess is over.

Lance looked at Jin and Reiko alternately and nodded broadly.

"And one more thing. This has nothing to do with this case, but I want you to listen to me.

"Hmm, what is it?"

"There's a celestial body approaching Ars. We call it <>. ......"

Jin explained the <> to Lance.

"Hmmm......... it would be a terrible thing if it were true."

"Your father is not lying!"

"Oh, oh."

Reiko bites back Lance's skeptical words. Lance is flinching.

"No, no, if Miss Reiko says so, then it must be true. ...... but what can we do?"

Jin explains to Lance.

"I'd like you to think about it. For example, assuming there is some damage on the ground, what if we evacuate underground?

"I see. That facility can accommodate approximately 50 people for a long period of time, or 300 people for a short period of time, about one month.

That's reassuring in an emergency.

"But for that, we need a warp gate. I want you to decide where we should install it as soon as possible.

Jin nodded.

"That is why we are going to have an audience with His Majesty today.

"I see. I look forward to working with you."

At 9:00 a.m., Jin was in the hospital.

At 9:00 a.m., Jin took the Conlon 3 to Miyagi Prefecture, piloted by Reiko. Edgar is with Elsa at her parents' house. Lance is on board, of course.

"Welcome, Mr. Kunlun!"

As usual, Prime Minister Jung Forss von K?bsler greeted Jin.

Jin decided to let Lance stay in the ship for the time being, and he and Reiko headed for the office of the Empress.

"Welcome, Jin-kun."

The queen is as frank as ever. The Prime Minister let out a secret sigh.

"What can I do for you today?"

"Actually, ......"

Jin began by explaining about the bandits, the incident at Elsa's parents' house, and the facilities under the Suhonte Mountains.

As the story progressed, the smile on the emperor's face faded and his face became serious.

And then,

"You are more than just an interesting ...... person, you are a wanted man", she said clearly.

She said clearly.

Gimnas is the last of a family that has passed down the 400 year old technology without any decline.

Considering the country, he would be a man we would like to have.

"<> Jin and his Gimnas. And Lance, the automata. We would love to take care of them here in our country."

"I understand. Then, may I bring Lance here?

The Prime Minister interrupted the emperor, who was about to express his approval.

"Your majesty, this will have to wait for a while. I will see her first.

"That's right. Then I'll leave it to the Prime Minister. ...... Jin, take good care of him.

Yes, I'll take care of it.

Thus, arrangements are made for Lance to meet with the Prime Minister first.

The conversation went smoothly from then on.

The conversation proceeded smoothly from then on, and in conclusion, <> was assigned to the Shoro Kingdom.

The Minister of Magic and Technology of the Shoro Empire, Degauz Furt von Manischlus, was in charge of negotiating with him, and Jin was released from this problem.

As for the search for the culprit, Lance insisted <>.

Although some concerns remained, Jin and Erza were now able to take care of their own problems.

However, Jin, being a godless man, had no way of knowing what the outcome of this encounter would be in the future.
