Since there was still time before dinner, Jin decided to continue repairing the remaining nine pieces that could be done without materials.

Ka-CHEER looked at Jin who started repairing again even after saying <>, and thought that he must like this kind of work.

"Well, if I just repair the magical muscle, it will save me a lot of trouble when it comes time for the real repair.

Jin works on the repair work while talking to himself.

(I wonder if Jin-san had a small family. ......?)

As one would expect from a member of a large family, Ka-Chea. She seems to have realized that Jin, who talks to himself a lot, was not blessed with a family.

"Here we go," he said. ...... Oh, Katya, do you know what time it is?"

"Uh, uh, ......."

Katya is a bit nervous when Jin suddenly asks her. There is no clock in the warehouse, so there is no way for Chair to know what Jin doesn't know.

"It's almost 5:00 p.m., isn't it?"

Jed Alamordo entered the warehouse.

"Mister Jin, take the rest of the day off. ...... I just placed an order for materials with the Lorenz Trading Company, so if they have them in stock, they should arrive tomorrow morning.

"Thank you, sir."

"Thank you very much. I repeat, take the rest of the day off.

"Yes, sir."

Jin bade Jed farewell and left the warehouse. Jed closed the door of the warehouse, locked it, and returned to the house. As he did so, he also called out to Katya.

"How are you doing?　Have you gotten used to it?"

"Ah, yes. Thanks to ......, a little.

Katya answered in her usual timid manner.

"I wonder, after the training, how about assisting Mr. Jin for the time being?

"Assist him, sir?

Yes. From what I've seen, Jin-dono seems to be the type who gets carried away and runs away. If someone doesn't manage his time, he's likely to stay up all night and push himself too hard.

In a short time, Jed Alamold had gained a good understanding of Jin's personality.

"Well, that's true, that may be so,......."

"Besides, it would be easier for Katya to be with Jin-dono, wouldn't it?"

"Ah, yes.

"After you get used to the house, I'd like to assign you other jobs as well."

Yes. Thank you very much.

Katya bows her head to Jed Alamordo's concern.

"......God, it's a nice bath."

Jin was taking a bath.

There are two large baths and three small ones in this pavilion.

There is no rule as to which bath is for whom, and anyone can take the bath of their choice. Usually, however, only one of the large baths is filled with hot water.

Jin is bathing in the smaller bath.

This bathtub is only enough to fill the bathtub with three people, but one person can stretch his/her arms and legs in it.

However, when I am relaxing by myself like this, I am reminded of Erza and the others.

I know that worrying about them will not solve the problem, but I can't help thinking about them.

(For now, I'll just keep my feet on the ground ...... and find a way to get home.)

Then, I force myself to change my mind, Jin.

(...... magic crystals that could be used instead of ...... magic circle, or ....... But will it work that way?)

I have been thinking about it since I was in Tazy village. If this works, it might help us to return home.

It is the idea of a golem or a magical tool that does not use magecrystals.

As there is such a thing as a transfer magic circle, a magic circle can store magic and release it at will.

(But there is one big problem.)

(But there is one big problem.) It is the slow activation time.

The magic circle is mostly circular. The reason is that the magic power is circulated through the circle many times in order to amplify the small amount of activation magic.

With each circle, magic power is generated from the free magic element (ether) existing in the space, and the circulating magic power becomes stronger.

(But it is this circulation that creates time loss.)

The magic circle that appears with magic is fundamentally different from the magic circle that appears when magic is used.

The magic circle that appears with magic is, so to speak, a phantom of <> projected into .

Since magic is the invocation of the < recorded in the world, the magic circle that appears when magic is exercised is the illusion of the < projected into <.

Let's take a break from this.

Even if the activation of magic using a magic circle is slow, it is only a few seconds. It is usually within 3 seconds, but it is fatally too slow to be applied to golem's operation.

(The process with the Magi Crystal can be done in a few nanoseconds or less.

"...... is going up?"

Jin realized just as he was about to get overtired if he soaked in the bath any longer.

That night, Jin, Paelova, and Jed sat around the table for dinner.

"Well, Jin-dono. You are indeed beyond my expectations.

Paelova was in a good mood.

"I didn't expect you to fix six of them. I'm very happy about that.

A very happy Paelova told us that half of the golems in the warehouse were from the time of the founding of the country.

"There were some conflicts in order to gain independence. Golem soldiers played an active role in those times."

I could not get a detailed explanation, but it seems that most of the battles were fought by golem soldiers at that time in order to minimize human casualties.

Jin asked silently if it was possible to use them in such a way.

"There are twice or even three times as many golems lying motionless in the capital. What a waste!"

Paelova's eyes lit up.

"We can get the stuck golems off the street and have them repaired by Jin-dono ......."

"Oh, that's a good idea, sir."

Jed Alamord agreed.

"Speaking of which, how are you going to manage the golem?"

Jin asked what he had wondered about earlier.

"The golems in the royal capital are managed by the high king, and those in this region are managed by me."

Paelova answered.

In response, Jin said what he had been thinking.

"......, would you allow me to gather several golems that have stopped moving and make one of them move?"

"What?　Can you do that?

The response was as expected.

"Yes, I can. As a rough estimate, three out of the nine pieces are badly damaged, so we will have to use a lot of materials to repair them. However, I think we can finish a decent golem by combining the available parts of each one.

"Hmmm, I didn't know there was such a way ......, but I didn't know it was possible."

Paelova was astonished,

"Can you fix the golem that way, Jin-dono?"

Jed asked a question that was new to Jin.

"Yes, I can. "I can do it, if I have the materials.

Jin affirmed, since it was nothing to hide.

"Well, it was a good decision to invite Mr. Jin to ......."

"We are very lucky."

Paelova and Jed nodded their heads in agreement.

In a country where mages are scarce, it is not possible to repair even a single magical tool.

Jin remembered his previous visit to Miyako, the capital of Mitsuho.
