The day after the conversation with Lorenz, i.e. July 12.
Jin thought that there was some kind of commotion in the square.
Then Sergei, the mayor of the village, came in.
"Jin, may I have a word with you?
"Yes, yes. Can I help you?
Sergei led Jin to the back of the workshop, out of sight, and asked him a question in a low voice.
"Jin, can you repair that ...... golem?"
Jin wondered for a moment how he should answer,
"I won't know until I see it. There are some malfunctions that can't be repaired without materials.
He answered in a safe way.
"That's right. As a matter of fact, one of the five golems that Mr. Lorenz has with him has gone bad.
"Is that what you mean?"
Jin thought that was the case in all probability. There was no other golem.
Then, please do it right away.
I'll get right on it. ...... Katya, will you take care of the store?
Yes, sir.
After leaving the store to Katya, Jin and Sergei head for the plaza.
"How are you, Jin? Have you gotten used to this village?
Yes, thanks to you. It's a nice village, isn't it?
I'm glad to hear you say so.
While exchanging such words, the two arrived at the plaza.
"Ah, Mr. Jin, thank you for coming!
Laurenz came running up to them.
"Did Sergey tell you what happened?"
"Yes, he said something was wrong with the Golem.
"Yes, he did. I have to go home tomorrow, but I can't manage to load a carload at this rate ......."
The merchant was pushing himself to load the goods, and if he couldn't carry a cartload, he would lose a lot of money even if he came back later to pick it up.
"Please! Considering the loss, I don't care if it costs a lot!"
"Let's just take a look."
Jin decided to first diagnose the golem that was in bad shape.
"Is this it? ......How about this<><>......I see..."
An endoskeletal golem. A little like Adriana's golem. Information such as ...... that it has an ether converter was revealed.
"So you can tell?"
"Yes, it does. ...... Mr. Lorenz, this golem has worn down every joint ...... especially the hip joint. It is on the verge of dislocation. No wonder he can't exert his strength.
"Oh, really? So, can you repair it?
"To do that, we need materials. Considering the skeleton of this golem, it is steel. Do you have any ...... steel material?"
"Steel ......? No, not as a material. For products, there are machetes and iron pots.
Jin thought for a moment and decided to use one of the machetes.
"Well, I'll take it apart first, Mr. Lorenz.
"Uh, yes."
Lorenz does as Jin instructed. A spare piece of cloth to display the goods is spread out on a flat surface. It is on the ground, but it does not matter because it is not a precision job.
Then he makes the golem lie down,
"<>"
Lorenz chanted the key word and made it stop.
"Thank you very much."
Jin finally started to disassemble the golem.
Around this time, some villagers who were not busy came and started to watch Jin's work from a distance.
