Lance is startled by the sudden appearance of Reiko.
"We'll talk later. I'm sure you want me to stop him, right?
"Ah, yes. But I'd appreciate it if you could do it without hurting him.
I'll do it.
What are you talking about? Who are you?
Ronder = automata was wary of the sudden appearance of Reiko and kept her distance from her.
She may look like a girl, but the fact that she appeared out of nowhere and the fact that Lance is treating her as an equal, he must have guessed that she is not an ordinary person.
"It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Reiko. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Ronder, the automaton, looked at Reiko with a dumbfounded look on his face as she gave a little tug on the hem of her skirt and made a short curtsey.
And Lance next to her.
"......, you mean, if you are a former leader of the Unification Party (Unifiler), you don't know me?"
"What ......?"
Ronder (automata) looked at Reiko again and said, "Oh, you!
"Oh, you?
A look of astonishment crossed his face.
"You are the Jet-Black Princess of Destruction!
She must have seen the battle between the Unification Party (Unifiler) and Horaijima's army. He seemed to remember Reiko.
"...... interesting. With this body, I should be able to compete with you. ......"
"Are you stupid?"
Reiko interrupted without letting them finish. Her tone was one of dismay.
"I've been watching you from the middle of the show, and you're even weaker than was at that time, aren't you?"
"No, that's not possible! This body is based on the all-purpose golem, the combat golem, and has been further improved!
But Reiko shakes her head.
"No, I know what I'm talking about, having actually faced Elena. Elena was a much better automata than you, wasn't she?
"Shut up!
"...... you're a little unstable, Mr. Lance. What do you think, Mr. Lance?"
Lance is surprised when Reiko suddenly turns to him and answers her question.
"Ah, ah, Miss Reiko is right. Perhaps the original thought process is poorly designed.
This is where the skill of a magecraftsman comes into play, Lance says.
"So you are not using a sophisticated template?"
"<>, huh? I see, that would work for a completed thought process, but in his case, it's probably self-made."
Seeing the two calmly conversing with each other, Ronder-Automata becomes even more agitated.
"The fact that he can't control his pseudo-emotions is another proof of his incompleteness, isn't it?
"You've got to be kidding me!"
Ronder = automata" finally lost his patience and jumped at her. His right fist struck Reiko.
What?
However, Reiko easily caught Ronder's right fist.
Then, she caught another left fist from Ronder.
"Koo, koo, koo!"
Reiko repelled another front kick with her right leg with a kick of her left leg.
"Kuh, ah, let go!"
Ronder=Automata's fist was still clenched by Reiko, and it seemed that she could not pull it off even if she tried.
Looking closely, Reiko's slender fingers are digging into Ronder's big fist.
"Mr. Lance, I told you not to break it, but it's hard to get it completely unharmed.
"Oh, yeah. A little bit is not a bad thing.
"I see."
Hearing those words, Reiko put pressure on her hand.
"Uh, oh, oh!"
With that, both of the automaton's fists cracked.
Reiko then unleashed a series of blindingly fast thrusts to both shoulders and both hip joints.
"Gah!"
Both shoulder joints and hip joints of both legs were dislocated by the attack.
"This is the power of the <>...I couldn't ...... read it......... regrettable..."
Slowly, Ronder collapses to the floor.
"Is this okay?"
"Oh, yeah. Oh, thank God. But you are very strong, aren't you Reiko?
Father made her that way.
"Is that so ......?"
Lance looked a little thoughtful.
"The relationship between the maker and the automaton (automata) has nothing to do with the structure of the ...... automaton (automata), does it? ......"
"What?"
"No, I'm talking to myself. I'm talking to myself. ...... but I'd be happy to talk to Miss Reiko about it."
With that, Lance started to speak.
"Um, is it okay if I just leave it here?"
Reiko looked at Lance and said.
"That's true. ...... but how do we stop it?"
"Kuu......! <......."
Londer = automata, which only lies on the floor and scratches at the algae.
"It's a little aggressive, but it's the only way.
"Well, wait! What ........................?"
Lance grabbed the automaton by the neck and twisted it 180 degrees.
With a snapping sound, the ronder-automata stopped moving.
It seems that the connection between the control core in its head and its body was severed.
Naturally, the supply of mana will also be cut off, which means that the automata will stop.
"The rest of the components are stolen. ......"
It seems that most of them were used to assemble the body of the automata.
"The only thing that was stolen was the parts for the warp gate, which they had been playing with until just now. ......
"Yes, but this is ......."
Reiko is an expert in setting up warp gates, so she noticed that something was wrong with the warp gate.
"Do you understand, Reiko? This warp gate does not have a control panel. The parts were not taken out, and they could not have been made.
Lance smiled wanly, "It's not possible to master all the technology in a decade or so at best.
"Is there anything else you would like to bring back?"
Reiko asked and Lance nodded.
"Mm. There was a golem on patrol, but I think we can ignore that one."
But Reiko refuted that.
"That's no good. We have to make them stop.
With that, she leaves the room.
She returns about two minutes later.
"There were two of them, but I made sure they were stopped and put them down in the spare room."
"...... Reiko, why are you so concerned about a low-class golem?"
"There's nothing low class or high class about it. I just felt sorry for him.
"Pity ...... or ...... you have such feelings ......?"
"What?"
No, it's nothing.
"Oh, and there were three of your bandit friends, so I knocked them out and tied them up.
"Thank you for saving me the trouble. Now let's go pack up."
Lance packs up the main parts of the stuck Ronder automata and the warp gate.
The parts for the warp gate are few, however.
Then I am going home. ......Yes, Miss Reiko, the reason I was going to say that earlier was because you were so dazzling."
"Yes?"
I was speaking metaphorically, of course. I felt a strong parent-child bond between Miss Reiko and her father, Jin-dono, the ...... creator of Miss Reiko.
"Yes, I love your father and he loves me."
Hearing this, Lance let out a sad smile.
"I envy you a little. ...... No, it's just a sentiment, don't listen to it."
