"So you're sure that we need a <>?"

Yes, that's right. We are not allowed to create.

"I see."

It is a difficult question how much freedom to give to the creature.

Jin does not give the old man and the other craftsmen the authority to create new creations.

"Even repair?"

No, I don't trust a golem for repair.

"Oh, I see. ......"

It's highly likely that the micro-magic machine is in control of it.

The fact that they were looking for the engineer must be due to the ego that was left in the control brain.

"So that's how it is."

"So if he brought the Magi Smith with him, he should be able to enter without any problem.

Then we should have no problem getting in.

The problem is the next step.

What do you want me to do with him?

First, the safe thing to do would be to maintain the internal facilities. We've got the materials, so it won't be a problem.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fine. And then?

Then you'll have to do my maintenance.

That won't be a problem either. And after that?

The next step will be decided by the general manager, but the way things are going now, they'll probably make me do something to speed up the completion of the mega-float.

"Maybe they can make a construction golem, or follow up on the technical aspects of the project ......."

"That's quite conceivable.

"Will there be a chance to get in touch with the ?"

<

"To be honest, I don't know about that.

I guess we'll have to wait until we get there ......."

There is one important point to be made here.

"What kind of performance do the wards of <> have?"

It has both physical and magical wards. Usually they only have physical wards. I can't go into details.

"No, that's enough."

Jin thinks about it.

<

He can't imagine what would happen in that case.

I guess I'll have to go myself.

"No."

No!

Jin was thrown back in his seat when he was suddenly confronted from behind.

"Erza!

"It's ...... late, I came to check on you. ...... don't do anything dangerous."

"I knew you'd say that."

I'm sorry to interrupt, but the magical wards of Onogoro Island allow ether waves to pass through?

What?

Otherwise we wouldn't be able to keep sending free magical element (ether) to the mega-float.

"Oh, I see."

Now, one of my concerns is gone.

After that, Jin and his team made preparations by asking several detailed questions.

* * * * * * * * * * *

November 7, deep in autumn.

Jin and his friends......, Reiko, and <> headed for > on a <.

This <> is the same type as the one that chased <>, and <> rode it to the Klein Kingdom.

The maximum speed of the <> is 200 km/h. The distance from the Kingdom of Klein to <> is about 3,000 kilometers, which means it would take a little over 15 hours.

But because of the time difference, they arrived at <> at around 2:00 p.m. on the same day.

<

I'm back.

Thank you.

We've captured Kun Lun and his retinue.

Why even his retinue?

They're the so-called hostages to make the Kun Lun listen to what they have to say.

I see.

What do you want me to do first?

I'll have the equipment ready.

All right. I'll make sure I'm with you when you're servicing the equipment.

That's all right.

* * *

That means ....... First of all, it's going well. You'll have to do the maintenance, though.

"I know. You want me to maintain this facility?

Yes.

All right. Let's do it. Reiko, help me.

Yes.

Thus, Jin's doppelganger begins to maintain the underground facilities on Onogoro Island.

It was a huge amount of work, but the old man was doing most of it for him, and Jin had much to gain.

"Yes, please do."

Jin himself is in the Horai Island command center, continuing to analyze the facilities on Onogoro Island.

"Hmm, the main metal materials used are light silver and mithril silver. And a little phosphor bronze and adamantite. That's an unusual combination. They are all very pure."

He begins by identifying the materials,

"The technology used in this area is on the same level as what the previous generation saw in the demon territory. ......

Structural analysis. But.

"Well, ...... there is no new technology."

So far, there seems to be no new technology that would attract Jin's attention.

"Well, Jin-dono seems to have some advanced knowledge and skills.

, who is working with Jin's doppelganger in the name of surveillance, is also impressed.

"You should take a rest soon. If you keep working, you will be suspected of that.

Reiko advises.

The doppelganger of Jin, controlled by the old man, can work not only 24 hours but also 48 or 72 hours, but there is no such person.

We need to show him a proper rest.

All right, come here.

leads Jin's doppelganger into the living quarters.

It seems to be the same place Jin had observed with the Peeper.

I think it is dusty because it has not been used. Clean it up and use it.

"Okay."

Reiko and Jin's doppelganger clean up the place with engineering magic.
