Elena finally stepped into the .

"There are several laboratories here. The golem you see here is one of them.

Rokow b. Shiharo showed Elena to one of the laboratories.

"Carrion, may I?"

"Yes, director, what is it?"

Rocco called Carrion, the director of the laboratory, who introduced Elena and explained the purpose of his visit.

"Ah, it's no problem if Your Majesty has given you permission.

"Well, please show me the way. The time is ...... about right, about half an hour. After that, take him to my room.

Yes, sir.

Thus, Carrion, the head of the laboratory, showed Elena around.

I'm looking forward to working with you.

Yes, yes.

Carrion is thrilled by Elena's beauty.

Well, uh, well, first of all, we're here to analyze the golem.

Oh, this Golem?

Yes. Yes. ......"

The head of the research team, Raig Armor, was working on it.

He glanced at Carrion, wondering if he should say something. Carrion noticed and gave a small nod.

"This is a golem we acquired in a skirmish with our neighbor, the Duchy of Norway, and we are disassembling and analyzing it like this.

"I see. What can we learn from ......?"

Elena is playing the part of an amateur.

"Yes. Yes. Analyzing the structure gives us durability, analyzing the muscle tissue gives us power, analyzing the control system gives us reaction speed. Analyzing the control system gives us the reaction speed."

"Hmmm... ......"

Elena continues to pretend that she doesn't know what she's talking about.

The way she tilts her head attracts the members of the male-dominated laboratory.

However, her brain ......<> has been observing and analyzing not only her words but also all the equipment in the laboratory.

This information is sent to the "Mere Old Man.

"And that is the team that is developing the new Golem.

Rig Armor, who had relaxed a little, led Elena to the development team.

"We use an alloy steel called vanadium steel to make the skeleton. ......Koo, please explain."

Ryg Armor asked Cu Fene, the head of the development team, to explain.

Cu Fenet is the most popular person in the laboratory, and is an official friend of Raig Armor.

Cu Fene explained to Elena, who was standing close to the RaiGu Armor, while staring at her.

"The skeleton requires toughness, strength, and hardness, and this vanadium steel is a material that meets these requirements at a high level. The disadvantages are its weight and rusting, but we have taken measures to address those ......."

Elena listened but acted as if she didn't understand.

Cu Fenet finishes his explanation with a slight derisive smile.

"It means ....... Do you understand?"

"Yes, thank you. I don't know what it is, but I understand that you are doing something very advanced.

"Well, the next group is working on control systems. ......"

...... and for about half an hour Raig Armour explained the laboratory to Elena.

After the scheduled time had passed, Raig Armor led Elena to the room of the head of the laboratory, Rokou B. Shiharo.

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

Rokow Bee Shihalo let Rig Armor leave and offered Elena a chair.

"How do you like it?　Are you satisfied?"

Elena nodded.

"Yes, you have explained a lot of difficult information to me.

I am glad you are satisfied with my work.

"But, I am an outsider, am I allowed to see so much of it?"

Elena asked and Rokou b. Shiharou smiled,

Yes, you may. After all, you are not going home from here.

With that he rang the doorbell on the desk.

Then five armed soldiers and two battle golems appeared in the next room and at the entrance.

Elena kicked her chair and stood up.

"...... what are you doing?

She looked pale. She looks that much like a human being.

"What, we're going to have an organization called <> help us in the future..."

"...... what are you going to do to me?"

Elena now has a soldier's sword at her throat, and both of her arms are firmly held by the golem.

"Take me to the place."

Elena was taken to the by order of Rokoh b. Shiharoh.

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

"In this tower you will find everything you need for your daily life.

Rokow b. Shiharo said, but Elena shook her head.

"No, there is only one thing missing."

"What?　What is it? What's that?　If there's something missing, I'll get it for you."

But Elena laughed.

"That's impossible. Because ......, the name of the missing item is <>."

"............"

Rokou Bee Shiharou looked as if he were biting a bitter bug when he heard this.

"Hmph, hmph. ...... and, anyway, we'll let you stay here for the time being, Elena-dono. Don't even think of ...... running away, okay?　There are soldiers and battle golems at the only entrance and exit.

I say threateningly.

"......I understand."

Elena looks down.

In fact, twice that many people would have no problem getting out, but she doesn't bother to point that out.

"So what am I supposed to do here?"

To this question Rokow Bee Shiharro replies,

"Well, you can live here, as long as you don't cause any problems. As long as you don't cause any problems.

That was enough for Elena.

But that was enough for Elena.

"...... I see... a hostage... I am..."

"You're smart. That's right. ...... Fortunately, <> is not a nation. It is a small organization. That's why they have taken Lady Elena as a hostage and asked her to cooperate with us.

"...... Do you think I can make them do what I say by myself?"

Elena tried to say something, but Rokou b. Shiharou snickered.

"I know that you are one of the most important members of the Nostalgia party and that you are well-liked and respected. So while you are being held hostage, I am sure she will do whatever you say."

"...... what do you want me to do?"

"Nothing, I'm not that reckless. ......It's ultimately up to His Majesty to decide, but I'm sure he'll give you a golem for battle, a magi crystal, and a magi stone,...... or so."

"...... and use it to invade other countries?"

"Well, that's what I'm thinking."

"......"

Elena turns her head and acts as if she has given up.

"Well, that's the way it is. You can't go outside, but you can have a good time inside.

With these words, Rokou Bee Shiharou leaves the .
