"Hmm, Frescias and Zidane. I've never heard of them. <
"Yes. By Zidane, do you mean Mr. Zidane Casey?
Yes, that's right.
When Jin's doppelganger told him his last name, Jix's eyes widened.
"Well, if <> knows about this Zidane Casey, then he must be quite a person, right?"
"No, I don't know his reputation. No, I don't know about his reputation.
I see. I see. So that's how it is. No, the world is a small place.
King Cesar, who does not know what is going on, is laughing.
"Yes, yes..."
Jix, on the other hand, looks a little pale.
Jin decides to give him a further push. He decided to probe into the matter by borrowing the mouth of the doppelganger.
"By the way, it seems that <>'s armor is made of a material I've never seen before.
"Yes, well..."
The answer was not very clear. Jin changes the subject further.
"What is the purpose of your participation in the Golem competition, Mr. Jix?
"What?"
"Well, since you jumped in, you must have had a purpose..."
"......"
I assume the main purpose is to get Golem to learn the technique, but I'm still not sure where it goes from there, so I decided to ask him straight out.
Jix opened his mouth slowly.
"One thing I wanted to know was what > was capable of. And secondly, to show the world what <> can do."
Jix suddenly drops to one knee in front of King Cesar.
"By doing so, I would like to serve him. This is the third thing.
The third thing is this: "Hmmm..." * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Hmmm...you want to be an officer. If that's the case, the Kingdom of Cerroa is better than Count Galana, isn't it?
On Horai Island, Jin and the old man were having a discussion after hearing about Jix through the doppelganger.
"Oh, I see. I thought you were after the prize money."
< is not very high.
Jin didn't remember every bit of it because he wasn't interested in it,
"Brother Jin, the first prize was 100,000 dollars and the second prize was 50,000 dollars.
Elsa remembered.
About one million yen is not a lot of money for research.
Unlike the golem boat competition in the Kingdom of Elias, which had a prize of one million tolls, the golem competition (gompetition) was more about honor and making connections with influential people.
"I wonder if King Cesar will allow Jix to be an officer or ......."
He was the one who said he had memorized the names of the officers and nobles who had approved of his jumping in.
Jin decided to wait and see what would happen.
* * * * * *
"Hmm, an official. I see."
He must have absolute confidence in his skills, since he is a better engineer than Donald Callow, the former .
"Well, that's not something to talk about at a banquet like this. Let's do it again tomorrow.
King Cesar easily dodges Jix's glare.
"Yes, tomorrow, then.
"Yes. I keep my promises. I'll pick you up at 9:00 a.m. Where are you staying?
"...... Actually, I couldn't find a place to stay in time, so I'm thinking of sleeping in a carriage."
