Reiko manages to fight off the magic-specialized golem that has attacked her.

"It's over. Thank you, Reiko.

No, it was easy.

Jin thanked Reiko for coming back. Then the old man called.

Reiko is left to take care of the surroundings, while Jin responds with the manacam function of the bracelet.

"What is it, old man?

"Yes, and?"

<

"What?

It was a shocking fact.

<

"Oh, that's not so strange ......?"

Jin thought that Daikie of the Shoro Kingdom might know about this.

* * * *

"In your father's time, you did as you pleased, but now that I am on the throne, that will not be so!"

Adalbert Nimmo Elias I proudly declared to Hugues Anlocke, former vice-commander of the Kingsguard.

"Uh-uh, you've been pretending to be something you're not ......!"

"Yes, I have. Yes. I am descended, albeit slightly, from the second generation of magical engineers, the MagiCraft Meisters.

It was an act to make us believe that he had been committed to the ideas of the <> until now.

At this point, all ten of the battle golems had been neutralized by the Volk.

The Volk then closed in on Hugus Unlock at once.

"You golems are so clever!"

Hugus Anlok, the deputy commander of the Kingsguard, drew his sword and slashed at Volk, but the difference in reaction speed was too great, and Volk easily avoided him, releasing a <> spell.

"Aggyage!"

Hugus Unlok was knocked unconscious by this quick action, unable to avoid it. Volk tied him up and set him before the king.

"Well done, Volk.

"Thank you."

The new king looked at the Volk and admired his appearance. There was not a scratch on any part of his body.

（Hmmm... still a fine sight. (The skill of the ......<> is amazing.)

"Your Majesty!　Are you all right?

The divided ministers came rushing in with their soldiers.

"Well, I see that you are also safe.

But this brought confusion at the same time.

Someone took advantage of the chaos and tried to stab the new king.

Your Majesty, look out!

Kayla!

The one who stopped them was the golem , a maid presented by Jin. Using her fast reaction speed and <> body as a shield, she blocked the assassin's knife.

"d*mn you!"

Kaela's body is made of sapphire with a Mohs hardness of 9, and her clothes are made of tough subterranean spider silk (GSS). Not even a hidden knife can scratch her.

"I won't let you."

Jin, who had trained her in self-defense, was not mistaken. Kaela twisted up the hand holding the knife and threw him down with a single back slap.

The assassin fainted, unable to speak. The soldiers of the guard tied him up in the blink of an eye.

It was one of his ministers who targeted the new king. He was arrested on the spot, of course.

"Well ...... you let your guard down. Kayla, you did good. I thank you."

"What a waste of words."

Kayla continues to stand by the new king and guard him.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you as your bodyguard!"

Bartolo Eldiais, the leader of the Kingsguard, bows his head. The new king allows it.

"Bartolo, the attack was unavoidable. You were preparing for an attack from the outside. I did not realize that there was a traitor inside and I let my guard down. But I am very glad that Kaela here is here.

* * * *

At last, the commotion seems to have died down, and the new king and his party slowly return to the royal castle.

No more attackers appeared, and a roll call was taken in front of the castle square to check the damage, but no casualties were reported.

Hugus Anrock, former vice-commander of the Kingsguard, and two of the cabinet members' attendants were also not seriously injured.

Jin and the others arrived, too. Since the drivers of both cars had fled, Jin and Tomax were in the same car. The driver is Manon and the escort is Reiko.

"Oh, Jin-dono!

Fiorina de Dorante, Minister of Magical Technology, rushed to greet Jin and the others.

"Thanks to your Volk and Kaela, your Majesty is safe. I would like to thank you as well."

"...... What do you mean?"

Jin was astonished to be asked such a question out of the blue. Then Fiorina gave him a brief explanation.

"I see, I see. ...... we were also attacked by a deformed golem, but we managed to fight it off.

"Oh, there is only one car."

Fiorina finally noticed this, asked Jin again about the situation, and hurriedly went to report to Bartolo, the Commander of the Kingsguard.

The captain of the Kingsguard arrived immediately. Jin once again told the story of the attack.

"For now, we loaded the defeated deformed golem into the other car and left it to the guards we met on the way. ...... Oh, it looks like they're coming."

Another car comes along. One of the drivers, who had fled, was driving with an embarrassed look on his face.

Seeing this, the Commander of the Kingsguard entrusted the Minister of Magical Technology to guide Jin and the others.

"All right. We will take care of the rest, so our guests Jin and Tomax, please go to the royal castle. ...... Dorante, may I leave this to you?"

"Yes. Then, Jin-dono and Tomax-dono, please come this way."

By the way, the apology was to be made later, when the situation had settled down.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jin and Tomax were shown to the room where they had stayed yesterday in the guest house.

"......Fu, I guess things have finally calmed down."

After finishing the meal that had been brought to him, Jin took a break. He had been late for lunch for some reason.

"The vice-commander of the Kingsguard and one of the cabinet members. I wonder how many more traitors there are."

Jin looked at me with a difficult face, "There was also a suspicious person who broke into the hangar last night .......

"Father, it's not safe for you to stay here, why don't you go home?"

Reiko said, concerned about Jin's safety. Jin did not want to ignore her comment.

"Well, I guess I'll switch places with my doppelganger.

"Please do so."

"If that's the case, how would you do it? ......

Sending the doppelganger from Horai Island to here is easy if the old man uses the transporter, but it is not easy for Jin to return to Horai Island.

"Then, why don't you go to and use the warp gate there?

"Yes, I will."

So, Jin and Reiko decide to go to the airfield after informing the Kingsguard guarding the castle of their intention to do so.

The reason for this was that they wanted to check the in the hangar, as they had heard that there had been a suspicious person last night.

Since the sun was still high in the sky, the request was immediately accepted, and Jin and Reiko headed for the airfield, escorted by the two knights.
