The next day, May 4, Jin wondered how to present the new golem, and thought that he should present it via <>.

Jin decided to go to <> for the time being.

"What about everyone else?"

Jin asked everyone present.

"I don't think so..." said Marikka.

Marikka said.

I don't want to go either.

Rubina answered, "No, me too.

"Me too ......" said Gulina.

and Gulina.

Naturally, Elise and Freddie also said they would not go, so only Jin ended up going.

"Well then, Marikka will be in charge of training Freddy in the meantime."

"Yes, sir, I will.

And you, Greenina, too.

Yes, yes!

So, Jin uses to go to with Reiko.

< is stopped and the <> is put back on the drawing board.

Hope, will you take care of this?

"Yes, sir, I'm on it."

Hope piloted the Hurricane into the Avalon.

"Have a safe trip!"

"Go, go, go!"

With Marikka, Rubina, Glina, Ellis, Freddy, and others seeing them off, the with Jin on board soared into the sky of Horai Island.

Meanwhile, Tomax Bartman entered the office of the Chief Superintendent of <>.

Tomax Bartman is looking over the incoming message.

"Hmmm, you mean that <> wants to present a golem to the new king of Elias to celebrate his coronation. ...... that would be very helpful."

It is known in <> that the new King of Elias was a former sympathizer of the <>.

In fact, the countries of <> have been contributing funds for the operation of <>, and they have even asked for a reduction in the amount.

"We don't mind if they don't pay us, but ......"

Currently <>'s finances are in good shape.

The main source of its financial resources are the magical tools and magical machines manufactured in <>.

<> was one of the first to recover from the decline of magical technology caused by the >.

The sales of these products alone are enough to operate the <> and the <>.

The fact that they are still asking for donations from various countries is a kind of posture that the small world of <> is not isolated from the rest of Ars.

"And the arrival of the <> is ...... today!"

Tomax Bartmann hurriedly instructs.

"Manon!　Jin-sama is coming. Tell the departments to prepare for his arrival immediately.

Yes, sir.

Manon is a secretarial automaton given to Tomax Bartmann by Jin, and is capable of performing the duties of five human secretaries. Manon had been adjusted to use elementary healing magic for Tomax, who had a stomach ailment.

"......Wind ...... Well ...... if Mister Jin gives a gift to the new king ...... so that he can... ......"

Tomax Bartmann was beginning to wonder if he could use this opportunity to repair the now somewhat strained relationship with the Kingdom of Elias.

He came up with a plan.

"But I think we should tell Jin-dono about this ...... in advance," he said.

Tomax Bartman, not wanting to incur Jin's displeasure by sneaking around behind the scenes without informing him.

* * * * *

The same day, at 2:00 p.m. Avalon time, Jin's plane, a , landed at the airport in .

"Welcome, Jin-dono."

Tomax Bartman himself greeted Jin.

"I'm so glad to see you."

Jin shook hands with Tomax Bartman as he stepped out of the hurricane accompanied by Reiko.

"We have heard what you want, sir. The Golem is in the airship, is it not?"

"Yes, it is. It hasn't been activated yet.

"I see. Then may I take the entire airship into storage?

"Yes, that is fine.

After this exchange, the Hurricane was stored in a warehouse attached to the airport.

Hope, the pilot, joins Jin and the others after fixing the <>.

When Hope arrived, Jin and the others got into a prepared car and started to move to the inside of <>.

On the way, Hope asked Jin a question.

"Master, are you sure you don't want me to stay?"

Now the was completely unprotected, even though it was in a hangar.

"I'll be fine on that point," Jin assured him.

Jin assured him. The old man is watching it with his <.

Jin did not say a word about this fact, but Hope immediately recognized it.

"I understand."

While they were talking, the car entered the interior of . They take a private road to a terminal near the office of the Chief Superintendent.

From there it is on foot. This is for security reasons.

After a three-minute walk from the terminal, Jin and the others arrived at the office of the Chief Superintendent.

Please have a seat.

The office was equipped with a reception set for such occasions.

When Jin sat down on the sofa, Hope stood behind him and Reiko sat next to him.

Manon made a pot of tea and offered it to them. It was hojicha, Jin's favorite tea. The tea was cooled to the right temperature.

"Thank you."

Jin took a sip,

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Tomax?

He asked.

From his manner, I guessed that something was troubling him.

"......No, it's not so much that I'm worried."

Tomax Bartmann told him that the new King of Elias had sent him a message.

"Some have suggested that we take this opportunity to go our own way and refuse all financial support from other countries, but I myself am against that."

"I see. ......"

Jin was a little disappointed at the sudden heavy talk that had just descended upon him.

Tomax Bartmann sensed the change in Jin's expression.

Oh, no, those are our problems, I don't want to bother you, Jin-dono. Please simply ignore the fact that there is such a problem.

Then he decided to cut to the chase.

"As you have probably heard, the new king of the Kingdom of Elias hates magic technology so much that he was at one time sympathetic to the ideas of the <>."

Jin nodded.

"...... but on the contrary, he is fond of golems. Even so, a combat golem.

"I've heard rumors."

Jin answered that he also knew about it.

"So we are trying to make them aware of how far behind the Kingdom of Elias is in golem technology, and to gradually turn their attention to magic technology.

"I see, so you want me to cooperate with you."

Tomax Bartmann looked a little impatient when Jin anticipated his conclusion,

"Oh, no, it's not that different," he responded.

Tomax Bartmann responded with a slightly impatient, "Oh, no, it's not different, but...
