"Go, golem!

A soldier, his sword caught and his arm broken, shouts, and a golem for general security emerges from the back of the room.

"Take that man into custody!　I don't care if you hurt him!"

The golem silently moves toward the mysterious traveler.

The traveler releases the soldier's arm and turns to face the golem.

"Let's see what you can do!"

Then he stretched out his arms.

"What?

The soldier looked at him, holding his broken arms.

The mysterious man and the golem are clasping each other's hands in a contest of strength.

Yes, a contest of strength. A golem and a human.

No, at this point, we know that the man is not a man.

The golem is outmatched.

"Well, this is about as good as it gets. It looks like it's made of carbon steel.

The man says this, and then he twists off the golem's arm. At the same time, he fires a front kick that blasts the golem away.

The golem was kicked, and the man blew the golem up to the packing room, destroying it and stopping it.

"Boring. This is how you protect your country. ......?"

The mysterious man's gaze turned to the sky.

"Is that a ...... hot air balloon?　Is this the level of civilization you think you have?"

It was two hot air balloons patrolling the town of Leuthart from above.

"Hmm, it's still a bit odd, but I guess that's what a ...... crappy civilization is like."

The tone of voice returned to normal and the mysterious man turned himself around.

"Wait ......, wait ......."

A soldier with a broken arm calls out, his face twitching in pain.

But the mysterious traveler walks away without looking back. He heads for the noble district.

"If he's a nobleman, maybe he can still give us some information..."

"I'm going to ...... to ........."

The soldier fainted from the pain.

<

On Horai Island, the old man was watching the mysterious traveler's every move through the eyes of the fifth column (Quinta), Regulus 46, a.k.a. <>, who had followed him.

<

The fifth column (Quinta) in charge of Reuthert, Capella 7, a.k.a. <>, was just there, so I had him healed with healing medicine and intermediate level healing magic that can also heal broken bones.

He gave her a healing potion and an intermediate level healing spell < that can heal broken bones.

"Hmm, I don't see anyone walking around. The building doesn't look any different. ...... hmm?

The time is 3:00 pm. A mysterious traveler, or rather an automaton, stops in front of a certain house.

"This mansion ...... looks a little like any other, but the strengthening magic on the walls is on a different level from the others.

The owner of the house was Jin.

"Should we enter through the gate or climb over the wall?

After a moment's hesitation, the man suddenly punched the wall. But the wall did not budge.

"As I thought. It's going to take a lot of effort to break it down, even if I do my best.

muttered the man ......, and the mysterious automaton seems to have decided to enter through the gate. But the gate is closed.

"Hmm, the gate is not made of carbon steel. It is nickel-chromium steel. And it has been carefully reinforced.

Then Ames 102, a five-colored golem maid who had been tending the garden, came in.

"Can I help you?"

She responds through the latticed gate.

"...... I would like to see my master."

Her tone is arrogant.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No, I don't have any."

"I'm sorry, sir. My husband is not at home at the moment. ......

Then let me wait inside.

No, sir.

Why not?

I don't understand your intention. I'm not a good squire to let such a man in.

The mysterious automaton chuckled at this part.

"Hmmm...this place is really different from the others. I'm getting more and more curious. Open this gate.

"I can't. You're trespassing.

That's your law. They don't apply to me.

No, it applies to you when you're in this country.

But the mysterious automaton snickers.

"Hmph, this ?　You degraded descendant, you talk big!"

Then he puts his hand on the gate and tries to force it open.

"......?"

But no matter how hard the mysterious automaton tried, the gate didn't budge.

"What?

"We can't do anything about that gate. Only you can destroy it."

Amez 102 said with some pride.

"Hmmm, it seems that your masters are not to be underestimated. I'd like to meet him more and more.

Before he could finish his sentence, the mysterious automaton instantly crashed the gate and entered the garden.

"This is nothing compared to what I can do."

You're trespassing, aren't you?

I told you I am not bound by the laws of this country. I am a puppet with a will.

"You are arrogant. How could you be so ...... arrogant?

At that moment, a small shadow appeared from the house.

"Ames 102, thank you. I'll leave the rest to you.

"My lady."

Upon hearing these words, the mysterious automaton's eyes widened.

"Miss?　You?　You may be made to look like a person, but you are a live puppet with a will of your own!

It seems that she has recognized at a glance that Reiko is an automaton.

"What about it?"

Reiko's voice is cold.

"Your father called me his daughter. That's all."

"Stop laughing. A creature should not call her master her parent.

"That's your logic. Please don't compare me with your father.

"Hmm. ...... but where is this you speak of?"

"Do you think I'll tell you?"

Reiko's words became even colder.

"I don't think so, but just in case."

With those words, the mysterious automaton grabbed Reiko firmly with both hands.

"What are you imitating?"

"Well, you know very well about this <> thing, don't you? And with you here, I'm sure that <> will have to come out as well."

"I'm not saying that guess is wrong, but ......"

Reiko twisted her body and escaped from the mysterious automaton's shackles.

"What?

"It doesn't work the way you want it to."

"What?"

The freed Reiko pushed the mysterious automaton away.

The automaton stopped, crashing into a gatepost.

"As I thought, you and I are incompatible. It's just as your father said.

Reiko said in the same cold voice.
