The <> under Marikka has won a mock battle with the >.

As a result, <> of <> should be under Marikka's control .......

"First of all, let us precede <> and <> of the Marikka golem, plus <> and <>. 302>> ahead of the others."

Jin said.

In other words, the people who visited the other day will be the first to go first, and then Jin D. and Marikka D. will visit, in that order, in order to win over <>.

In this case, each of them was piloting his or her own .

* * * * * * * * * * *

Having been there once before, the four golems easily arrived at the <> without hesitation.

>.

And the same goes for the golem directly under < that is out to meet them.

said the golem ......, or rather <>, as he invited the four golems into the base.

<

There is no reason to refuse this offer. Or rather, that is what we have been trying to do.

Marikka Golem <1,2 and <>301,30 2 entered the < that they had visited three days before.

observes as before. The images seen by his eyes are the same as those sent to Horai Island.

Will you bring Lady Marikka to us after this?

The , not the golem, speaks up. The other party is <.

"As soon as we are sure there is no danger."

I see. There are no more problems in this base.

Let me make sure of that.

All right. Look around everywhere.

<> 1,2 and <> 301,3 02 decided to make a tour of the base.

It is not so big, and the old man has already checked it with a <>, so it really seems to be a tour.

There are five of the same type as the general-purpose golem that was sent out the other day.

There are two combat golems for emergencies.

So far, we have confirmed this with a quick glance through the Peeper.

However, there was one new discovery.

"<>, what is this?"

found what appears to be a battle golem.

The golem was placed half-embedded in the wall of the room where <>'s body was located.

At first glance, it looks like a mask is hung on the wall, since the only thing sticking out of the wall is the face, but I thought that even the <> would not do such an unattractive thing, so I checked it out and found that the body was buried in the wall.

Is that it? I don't know that either. Perhaps the previous owner or the creator installed it.

Does it work?

It's never worked before.

But from what I've seen, it seems to be well maintained.

That's done by the that makes regular rounds. I have nothing to do with it.

"Mwah ...... means. "Hmmm... doesn't that mean that can't be stopped if it starts working?"

"That's ...... exactly what I mean.

"Then we can't take you to such a dangerous place, Marikka-sama."

《Gununu......》

A frustrated <.

<> decides to investigate this golem again.

"<>, then we will do a detailed analysis of this golem ourselves, is that alright with you?"

"<>, then we will do a detailed analysis of this golem, is that OK with you? It is not my place to do so.

"Sure."

And so, <> and <> investigate the >. The and were to investigate the .

* * * *

Of course, Horaijima was informed of this discovery.

Now, the whole <> is observing the golem on the monitor.

"That's a strange golem ......, or rather, a strange hobby."

As for Jin, he doesn't understand the meaning of painting it into the wall. If he wants to make a space in the wall and hide it, I understand.

"Kuhu, I agree with you. What do they want?"

"Well, is this the kind of culture that existed?"

"Well, if so, it's a nasty culture. ......"

At this point, spoke up.

"No, no, this is not a hobby.

"...... is that so?"

"Mm. First of all, we can monitor it through the eyes and ears of this golem."

"That's true.

But that's enough with visual and auditory sensors.

Second, it would be a deterrent."

"...... Well, it would be scary to have this thing staring at you."

"Yes. And third, it's a force to be reckoned with in times of emergency.

This golem's combat power seems to be quite high.

It will protect this base if something happens, right?

"Yes. And vice versa at ......."

"And vice versa?　...... that means ......

"......, that means they could destroy this base."

"That's ...... possible?"

The <> nodded at the quizzical Jin.

It is possible. For example, the indigenous people attacked and occupied the land.

"Oh, I understand that.

"There is no need to maintain such a base because it would not only be unnecessary, it would be harmful.

The intention was also to avoid the transfer of their technology to unrelated parties.

"...... What's up?"

What is it, Mister Jin?

"......Maybe it's not good for the <> to analyze that golem?

<

The old man responded to Jin's concern.

<

"Oh, you did well."

Jin patted his chest.

If that golem wakes up now, I don't know what will happen to our newly seized base in the east of Jigosaldo.

"But it's a problem. ......"

It seems to me that it would be better not to take <> under our control.

"No, I think it would be better to bring it under our control, but not to mess with it too much.

Reinhardt's words made Jin think.

"Well, well. It's not like we originally had a clear goal of what we were going to do with them.

This is a measure because he thought it would be dangerous to leave it unattended.

It's not like we want to antagonize the golem of the origin.

"Mmm, Mister Gin, I would like to respect that idea."

< would also like to avoid any kind of conflict with ......, that is, with the creatures of .

"But isn't it possible to somehow make the painted golem harmless without raising the horns?"

"Mm ...... I think there are ways to do that."

Let me hear it.

"Yes."

Jin listened to to hear his explanation. .......
