"Gu,uu......"

"What's wrong?"

Jin asked, concerned as Markitas clutched his head.

"......It's just the usual headache. Don't worry."

He says this, but Markitas looks pale.

"<>"

Concerned, Jin D. casts a spell of examination on him. Then, he found out that the patient had a brain tumor.

"...... brain tumor?

There was a foreign mass inside the skull. There was a strong possibility that it was pressing on his brain and causing him headaches.

Jin D. explains it to him.

"...... What?　I have a tumor in my brain?"

"Yes. It's originally your body cells, so healing magic won't be able to cure it.

"......"

* * * *

However, Jin has never treated a brain tumor before.

"...... what should I do?"

<>

"Well, yes, but I'm kind of concerned about it."

* * * *

"...... support golem. Can you remove my brain tumor?"

Yes, Mr. Markitas.

"Yes, remove it."

Yes, sir.

"What?

Jin was astonished. Not that the support golem had such advanced medical technology.

It was the fact that such a thing was possible, but they had left it unattended until today.

Perhaps that is the nature of the .

A passive golem that does not interfere excessively and does only what it is ordered to do.

But it is highly capable and can do unexpected things.

(Well, it would be possible if <>, >, and > were mobilized.)

<> is a nursing automata, and <> is a doctor (healer) automata, a little like the Sally Mireshan.

And <> is a miniature golem for surgery. It was named after a cartoon of a certain black doctor, so it was named after the brain of Moon (Yuny).

Extraction complete.

While Jin was lost in thought for a moment, the surgery was over. The procedure was as quick as that of Golem, the doctor of Horai Island.

"Oops. "

Jin rushed to have Jin D use his healing magic. Jin D. is not the only one who has been using healing magic, as his magic, including <, should work in the right direction.

Thank you, Jin Nido!

The support golem that took charge of the surgery thanked Jin.

I'm sure Master Markitas will be aware of this shortly.

You're early.

"Father, I watched the whole surgery. I've sent it to the old man so that he can perform similar operations in the future."

Reiko reported in a whisper.

"Well, that was worthwhile at least."

But it did not end there.

"...... that's the culprit."

What?

He's the one who caused Markitas to do what he did.

Are you talking about the spirit life form?

Yes. The body of Markitas is still paralyzed from the surgery.

"Uh, ......."

Jin tried to digest what he had just heard.

"You're saying that Markitas had a tumor in his brain that drove him to do what he did?"

"In a nutshell, yes. But it wasn't a tumor. It was his brain.

The brain?

The brain?

"......<>......, I see."

The examination (diagnose) confirmed that it was, without a doubt, the same brain cell.

"This is probably the cause of Markitas' erratic behavior."

"......If you knew, why didn't you point it out to him earlier?"

Jin D said accusingly.

"......I'm certainly sorry about that, but as for me, my consciousness ...... ego has only just become clear."

Jin D could not continue to say any more when he was told that.

* * * *

"......Something funny is going on here."

Jin D himself, who is controlling Jin D, is in the command center of Horai Island. And he was saying to the old man.

That is true, Jin thinks.

"There was too little data to base it on."

"The result was all right, huh?

<

Fighting and overwhelming the opponent is not the only way to victory.

Jin was reminded of this.

"What should we do after this?"

>

"That would be good too. ......"

He was a man who should not have been here at this time. I couldn't help it, but I should leave this matter to <> or <>.

* * * *

"...... Jin Nido. I am no longer at ...... enmity with you, or with this world."

Jin felt that Golbert Malkitas meant what he said.

However, I can't make a decision on my own.

Jin answered honestly.

"Of course. But I don't have long. As I said before, I cannot be judged by your laws.

"...... Maybe that's a good thing."

Jin had mixed feelings about this.

"I'll just sit tight."

"...... is that okay?"

Golbert Markitas looked surprised, as if he did not believe Jin's words.

"Yes. Well, the invasion is over, anyway..."

Hitoshi D. turned himself around.

"Reiko, let's go."

"Yes, sir."

Jin Nido, farewell.

Goodbye.

The way home was uneventful, and Jin D. and Reiko walked out of the base.

Outside the base, the night had already passed before they knew it, and the morning light was flooding in.
