<> and are going to visit .

Their guide was <101.

"Smith101, please take good care of him."

The spokesman, <, greeted < as a representative of the group.

"My pleasure."

<101 replied, first confirming the route.

"So far, we have transported automata from <> to <> and to this facility, but is there a better route?

Actually, they came from Horai Island using a , but I can't reveal that much yet.

"Hmmm... That's the only route.

"Well, that's too bad. ...... but for the future, I think it would be better to set up a transfer magic circle that can go to and from <>."

"Yes, indeed. ......Good, let's set it up in the room next to this one."

< was installed, so we carve a transfer magic circle in one of them.

If the same magic circle is carved in <, we will be able to come and go directly from there.

By the way, of course, there is no in that room.

"That should do it."

The one who carved the magic circle was <101, who was the fastest since he was already known to have the skills and knowledge to do so.

"Mm...... quick, huh? That's great."

"Not so much. Can you check ...... if the parameters are correct?"

"Sure. ..................mmm ......... ...it's fine."

>They all checked, so I was relieved.

"Okay. Okay, here's what we'll do. ...... First, I will go back alone. When I get to the other side, I will set up the transfer magic circle as soon as possible and come back here. Then it will be easier to get around."

"Yes, that's fine."

I see. I will see you later.

<101 left the room where was located.

<, he used the built-in manacam to contact the old man in a hurry.

<.

Then, you go to the ground by and go to by again.

I returned to Horai Island by using the warp gate on board.

The total time required was a little over two minutes.

In the meantime, preparations were being made.

First, Jin D. and Reiko were waiting for us at <>, and we sent them one more material to make them think that we were making automata there.

Maricka D is not seen this time.

Then, of course, we need to select a room to set up the .

For this purpose, we have chosen a warehouse two doors down from the room where the <> is located.

As a side note, the automata production room is right next to the room with ......<>.

"That should do it. ......Mr. Smith, please check it out."

101 drew the same magic circle as the one he had drawn at <> and asked Lao-kun to check it.

The old man gave his approval.

"Well then, I'm off.

"Go ahead."

With Jin D seeing him off, <>101 gets on the transfer magic circle and disappears.

He returns about a minute later. This time, he is accompanied by three automata.

"Welcome to <>."

The <>101 introduces Jin D. who greets them.

This is my creator.

"His name is Jin Nido. <

"Oh, so you are the one. I am . This is Kuvkaev and that is Lucenet.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you."

After a brief greeting, < offered first.

"Not that I don't believe you Smith101, but can you show me that you have that much skill and are worthy of the title of <> or whatever it was?"

"...... is fine. This way, please."

Jin D invited us into the next room.

Not that I had expected this, but there was enough material for one more body in the next room.

"Welcome!"

And there was Reiko.

"Is this the girl?"

Yes, I am an automata made by your father. My name is Reiko.

"Oh, really?　...... is a wonderful work of art.

"She's adorable."

"Still, I'd like you to show me your skills just in case."

was frankly impressed, <> looked at Reiko and narrowed his eyes, while < was concerned about seeing Jin D's skill.

"Of course. What do you make at ......?"

"...... an automaton butler. I'll explain the specifications now."

<.

Since I had already made a samurai doll for the first test, I was asked to make a butler doll this time.

She is 172 cm tall and weighs 67 kg. Silver hair, yellow eyes, age 50 years old ......."

"Hmm, so?"

Jin, who had already made nine of them, was piloting Jin D, so the work was fast.

Also, since he was a < rather than an <, his orders were not extremely detailed.

In about an hour, Jin D almost completed his butler automata.

"Ummm ...... this is ......."

The speed of the three < is astonishing.

Taking this opportunity, Jin D asked a question to clear up a small doubt.

"The age of the appearance of the human race, including the past, is that correct?"

< is different between now and the time when the existed.

Since the medical system is now in place and the diet has improved, the average life expectancy should be longer than that of the Ars humans in the early days of the Ars.

In other words, there is a concern that the <50 years old> that the says and the <50 years old> that Jin and others imagine may differ greatly in the way they age, and that is why I asked this question. I asked them that question.

"Well, I don't see any problem. It is within the range of a simple adjustment.

"I see. Well, that's good."

Jin D understood that the difference in appearance was apparently not a problem.

Then he started to finish the work.
