Shortly before the mysterious automaton arrived at Reuthert's house, the old man called out to Jin.
"What's the matter, old man? Is it an emergency?"
At the sound of the old man's voice, Jin picks himself up from the control seat.
The doppelganger that Jin is controlling is taken over by the old man.
Then the old man told him about the mysterious automaton.
"Indeed."
.
"I'm sure."
Jin agrees.
Jin braced himself for the possibility that, for some reason, <> might be trying to interfere with this world.
The magic screen in the control room was showing the image sent from the eyes of the fifth row, Quinta, Regulus 46, a.k.a. <>.
"Then, I'd better have them underestimate us as much as possible.
<
Since has been reporting every action of the mysterious automaton to the old man, it is clear that he is still unaware of Jin's abilities.
It is a natural conclusion, since it is not a secret.
"Do you want to catch him?"
"Okay. ...... Reiko!"
Yes, Father.
Reiko is naturally here since Jin himself is still on Horai Island.
"We don't know how good he is, so we want to give him our best. Will you go?
Of course.
"And this is something only you can do, don't use any special magic, but use only your strength to overpower him, and when you see an opening, use the Aether Eliminator."
The Aether Eliminator is a magical tool that removes the free magic element (ether) of the target.
It is the same tool that killed the before, and if used on a golem, it can make it stop its action.
Jin gave one of them to Reiko.
On the screen, a mysterious automaton breaks through the gate and enters the house.
This function was also installed in the giant golem, an ancient artifact of the Shoro Empire. It is not surprising that the mysterious automata have it.
<
The old man's instructions. I don't want to give you as much information as possible.
This call confirms that the mysterious automaton has been sent from the island of Onogoro.
"It's a sure thing. Reiko, go!"
Yes, Father.
Reiko quickly transitioned.
And then I heard her say...
<>
And then the battle begins.
At the same time, a is put up over the entire house. And of course, in the garden.
Reiko flips off the mysterious automaton and activates the ethereal eliminator as instructed.
"What? What's this? I'm losing power .................."
The mysterious automaton stopped moving.
"Okay, that's good. Just as I thought.
Jin was relieved that the ether eliminator worked.
He had not expected to run out of free magic element (ether).
"Now, what should we do?
If we stop the ether eliminator, there is a possibility that it will start working again. Therefore, I want to neutralize it as it is.
"Okay, Reiko, can't you check its structure and ......?"
As long as the ether eliminator is working, we can't use magic in general, including engineering magic.
>
"Oh, I see."
While an ether eliminator removes free magical elements (ether), an ether jammer works to keep free magical elements (ether) under control within a certain range.
In other words, only Jin and things made by Jin can use the free magical element (ether).
Let's go with that."
The old man tells Reiko.
I understand.

Reiko switches from the ether eliminator to the ether jammer without a moment's interruption.
The mysterious automata remain deactivated, but Reiko is now able to use her engineering magic without any problems.
"<>"
Reiko first examined the structure.
"Is the control core the type in the head? And it has a ...... Magni Reactor.
The Magi Reactor is a Magi Device that works by combining an ether converter and a mana driver into one, and is used only by Jin and the originator.
Even Jin mastered this technology under the guidance of the 700672.
"For now, let's disconnect the Magi Reactor.
With this, the mysterious automata are completely neutralized.
Reiko brings the mysterious automaton into the workshop, as instructed by the old man. The automaton is now optically unseen.
Then Jin arrived.
"Reiko, you did a good job."
First, Jin repaired the broken gate.
"I knew it was broken by < ......".
There is no way to prevent this for now.
Jin then begins to analyze the mysterious automata.
The first thing he does is to duplicate the control core. Information is more valuable than anything else.
After that, we analyze the body structure.
"Hmm, so this thing imitates a human body.
This is the same idea as the golem we met a while ago before the "ether stampede".
Of course, this one is much better made.
"The skeleton is ...... amazing, 64 light silver. The muscles are synthetic. But the performance looks good."
Roughly speaking, it was thought to be capable of producing about 10 times the force of a human.
"<> threat. ......"
Jin has an advantage in this respect, since it would not be a problem if compared to the golems of Horai Island.
The wiring of the magical nerves was also very precise.
Even though he was made to resemble a human, there was no needless restraint in contrasting the positions of the organs and the magickal devices.
"But it's a big magick reactor. It must be able to move even with a thin concentration of free magic element (ether).
One by one, the structure of the reactor was revealed by Jin's hands.
Then, as expected, a magical device that seemed to be a communication device was found.
Jin immediately disconnected it.
However, there was no other remarkable structure, and it was not helpful.
Conversely, the Golem automata created by Jin are that much more complete.
"In this way, it seems that it cannot be said that our technology is inferior to that of .
Jin is glad to see that we seem to have technology that is more or less on par with theirs.
"Yes, that's a possibility. ...... Let's stop here first. Now we have to extract information from this control core.
Jin left the mysterious automata in the workshop and returned to Horaijima with Reiko.
