"That golem seems to be the earliest type of golem that the Unification Party (Unifiler) used experimentally in the past.

"Oh, I see."

The old man's explanation through Reiko is clear.

In terms of design, it was similar to the original golem of <><>, the guardian golem of the village of Kaina.

"So that's what I thought I had seen somewhere before."

This made Jin feel better.

"So, at least one of the bandits must be related to the Unification Party (Unifiler). Probably a low-level person who was in charge of the experiment."

I see.

And when the Unifiler disappeared, they started misbehaving with the golem that had been entrusted to them.

"Oh, I see, that makes sense. Thank you, Reiko. Thank you, Reiko, and tell the old man I said thank you.

Yes, Father.

Jin praised the old man for his guess.

When the Unification Party (Unifiler) became the Nostalgia Party (Nostalgia), the organization was reorganized and made healthy, but the reality is that they did not pay attention to the end of the organization.

In the first place, the staffs at the bottom may not even know that they were being used by the Unification Party (Unifiler).

They simply started to do whatever they wanted because they had not received instructions from the top for a long time.

"I guess there are still like this."

"......"

Erza also looks a little worried, and her face is slightly furrowed.

"I guess we'll just have to catch them steadily."

Of course, we need to get the old man and to cooperate with us and do something about it while as little damage as possible is done to the public.

"......But when one thing is done, there is always an aftermath. ......"

Jin realized this once again.

They stayed the night and said goodbye to Elsa's parents the next morning at .

* * * * * * * * * *

Jin and his friends headed for the village of Kaina.

<

"Edgar, I'm sorry.

I'll send a replacement later.

Edgar, the pilot, cannot come with them, so when Jin and the others arrive at Horaijima, Sky87 is sent as the pilot instead, and Edgar comes back to Horaijima in exchange.

"Okay, let's go then."

"Okay, let's go." "Yes."

And the four of them headed for the village of Kaina.

"Master, welcome to our village.

As they exited the warp gate of Nido Castle, they were greeted by Butlers B and C, who were in charge of the group.

This time, they used Nido Castle for their official visit.

So, what's going on?

"Yes. The Raglan Trading Company's carriage is scheduled to arrive in half a day.

Butler B explained the situation.

Butler B explains the situation. "The men who will be coming are Mr. Roland, Mr. Boote, and Mr. Raglan Eastwood.

Butler C also explains the situation.

"Raglan Eastwood, ......?"

Yes, he's the founder of the Raglan Company.

I knew it. He's that guy.

Yes, he's a very successful merchant who built up the Raglan Trading Company in his own lifetime. He gave up his position as a baronet to become a merchant.

I had met him once before when I visited Alban.

While Jin was asking him about other things as preliminary knowledge, he received a call from <>, the guardian head of Kaina village.

I apologize for interrupting. My lady, the carriage of the Raglan Trading Company has just crossed the Togo Pass. It will arrive in about two hours.

They must have made good time. They're a little ahead of schedule.

"All right. Keep an eye on them and make sure nothing happens to them.

Yes, sir.

"Speaking of which, what's the head of the Raglan Trading Company coming to this village for?"

Jin asked a simple question. Butler C answered.

"Yes, we received a letter regarding that in advance.

"Oh, you received it when we were at Erza's parents' house?

Yes. It was not a particularly cordial letter, but on the contrary, a letter from a merchant, so we decided that it would be worse to delay our response. So, if you'll excuse me, I checked the contents of ......."

"You want to have a business meeting?"

Jin anticipated the answer and spoke first. But Butler C denies it.

"No, <>."

"......"

For a moment, Jin was taken aback, but when he thought about it, he realized that Raglan Eastwood was over 60 years old and that he would like to see how his lovely grandchildren were living if he did not have to work. I think.

"Eric has sold us many things we need in the village, and we should welcome him.

"Brother Jin, you should ...... be moderate, right?"

Erza, seeing Jin's face with a lot of energy, nailed him.

"Oh ...... that's right."

Jin also understood what Erza was trying to say and relaxed his shoulders.

"Well then, I'll pick you up at the Ermee River.

"Yes, that's about right."

< was in charge of safety.

Hearing from < that the carriage of the Raglan Trading Company was approaching, Jin and Reiko got on the golem horse <> and rode out to the bank of the Herme River.

The carriage was just about to cross the bridge.

"Oh, Jin-san...... no, Jin-sama."

Roland called out to Jin, who noticed and corrected him.

"Mr. Roland, it's been a long time. I myself haven't changed at all, so please talk to me as you used to.

Jin approached Roland with an attitude of not caring.

"Oh, really?　Thank you very much."

Raglan Eastwood then greeted him.

"Jin-sama, it's been a while since we last met. It's been a while.

It's been a pleasure.

"Did you know Mr. Boote?　He is the peddler who took over from me.

Uh, I don't believe we've had the pleasure. Nice to meet you, Mr. Boete.

It's my pleasure, Mr. Jin.

Since further conversation was not to take place outside, Jin led the carriage to Nido Castle.

"Well, well, it's a great building, isn't it?"

Mr. Raglan, the chairman of the board of directors, looked up at Nido Castle and was impressed by it.

"Then, please use this room.

"Thank you, sir."

Jin showed the group into Nidojo's guest room, and inwardly exclaimed with pleasure that he could use this room for the first time in a long time.

It was a good thing that he had built the room on the spur of the moment, but since not many guests came, he felt that he had wasted a bit of money.

They greet each other again in the reception room.

Over a cup of Perhia tea brewed by the golem maid, I asked her about her visit.

"The main purpose of my visit is to see my grandchildren," she said.

Jin smiled a little at his grandfather's love for his grandchildren.

"Besides, I'm still hoping to conclude a new business deal.

This is Roland.

He is now a mid-level executive.

"Oh, and I have one more thing to report.

Finally, Bote spoke up.
