Unofficially, Jin is recognized by the Shoro Kingdom as the third generation of >.
Moreover, the royal family of the Kingdom of Egelea was present at the ceremony, and their attendant Golem recognized Jin as a <>.
The < Rhodoth, a long-lived , also vouched for Jin.
It is a well-known fact that there are those in the <>, the land of the Northerners, who knew directly his predecessor, the , who was also a <>. Hence, Rhodoth's words carried weight.
The most important thing was the existence of the legendary girl automata, Reiko, and her testimony.
The more I look at her, the more she looks like a human being. The more you look at her, the more she looks like a human being. She is indeed the legendary Reiko Ehime.
Ernst II, the current Emperor of the Shoro Kingdom, muttered in a deep voice.
"I am glad to see you, even if it is on this occasion.
Ernst II smiled. In his expression, Jin felt as if he had caught a glimpse of the female emperor.
"If you can, will you come to the palace afterwards?"
"......Yes."
Jin hesitated slightly, but decided to take this opportunity to lay a proper foundation, so he agreed.
"Well, you're ...... no, you're Reiko Ehime! I'm glad to meet you too."
After Emperor Shoro, Ernest XVII, the third prince of the Kingdom of Egelea, gave a benediction to Reiko.
That is how legendary Reiko is.
"It is an honor to meet you as well, Jin Nido, the 3rd <>.
Ernest XVII then bowed to Jin as well.
"If you have a moment, would you be so kind as to check on my Lotte?"
"Yes, I would be delighted."
Jin readily accepted the offer.
After a short time, Rhodes came back to the house and asked for a few minutes of his time.
A short time later, Legray returns with Rhodoth's golem, Uragan, the Minister of Magical Technology. He is accompanied by the scarred and battered Zekken 1<>.
"Your majesty, Jin-dono's prediction was correct.
"Oh, I see. Then you can give the order to stop with confidence.
By sending out those with the authority to give orders with escorts, the runaway golem was finally stopped, and the commotion came to an end.
As an aside, when Legray returned, he was surprised to hear that Jin had been recognized as the third generation <>,
<
The commotion was now over.
The guests, the general public, the competitors, their golems, and the tournament officials returned to the shores of Lake Tosmo via the Warp Gate.
All that remained were Jin's party, the Minister of Magical Technology LeGray and some of his men, and the Emperor Shoro and his Imperial Guard.
"Your Majesty, please leave this to us and go back."
"Yes! There may still be some of the League of Magic left!
The knights of the Kingsguard pleaded with him, but Ernst II refused to yield his head.
"I appreciate your words. But if I am to apologize to the rest of the world for this scandal, I must take it upon myself to remedy the situation."
"Your Majesty ......"
And such an attitude of the emperor reminded Jin again of the former female emperor.
(Reiko, is there anyone else suspicious?)
So Jin secretly checked with Reiko.
(Reiko, is there anyone else suspicious?) So Jin secretly checked with Reiko, because there is a big possibility that the person who sent out the captured golem is still there.
(No, not within a 20 km radius.)
(I see.)
We know that Reiko is not within precise detection range now.
(Let and the old man try to detect him.)
(Understood.)
With his anger at having this event ruined, Jin decides to search for the culprit.
The is an enemy of the descendants of Jin's family in the first place.
Meanwhile, Legray and Rhodoth are analyzing the captured golem of the League of Magic, and the Emperor is talking with the Kingsguard about various matters.
Rubina and Shu seemed to be absorbed in the atmosphere, especially Rubina who was quiet as a borrowed cat.
(The old man reported to me. (The old man reports that there are no hostile golems or hostiles within a 200 km radius around the area.)
(I see.)
Jin was satisfied with the results of the detection, perhaps even with the use of a .
"...... Your Majesty, I have examined it in detail and found no evidence that this golem was sent by the <>."
LeGrey reported. His face is disappointed.
"I see. It's a pity, but it can't be helped. Even they don't make it easy for us to catch them by the tail.
Ernst II congratulated LeGray.
To such an emperor, Jin..,
"Sire, I've instructed Reiko to search the area, but there seems to be no enemy in the vicinity. Why don't we leave the area for now?
Ernst II accepted the proposal.
Ernst II accepted.
"Well, I guess there is no point in staying here any longer. I'll take your word for it.
"Thank you very much."
Thus, the retreat from the southern foot of Mt.
Incidentally, it was reported that the number 3 that had slipped and fallen was wrecked at the bottom of the valley.
* * * * *
"...... But this is an unexpected turn of events, isn't it?"
Jin was talking to himself in the drawing room of the Shoro Imperial Palace.
"Well, I can understand the old man's intention to remove the restriction of activities in the present age, so I have no complaints about it.
Jin only thought that the visit to Onogoro Island was a very sidetracked one.
"It's a common story, though."
Jin recalls that in the past, he had to destroy when he went sightseeing at the ruins, and that he had to destroy a secret organization during his trip.
"Jin-sama, but I'm learning a lot of things and I'm enjoying it.
Rubina, who was eating sweets in the same guest room, said in a cheerful voice, "I am the same way.
It's the same for me. I'm also enjoying the opportunity to experience the outside world in this way ......."
Just then there was a knock at the door and Rhodes came in.
"Mr. Jin, His Majesty wishes to speak with you."
"...... I see."
<, but still, what is troublesome is troublesome.
Jin gets up from the sofa and goes to leave the room with Reiko,
"Shu and Rubina are coming too," he said.
As expected, Donner and Blitz, as well as Uragan, Hope, and Edgar, were away. <
A Kingsguard is waiting in the corridor to show Jin and the others around.
Jin walked down the corridor and was shown into his office, thinking that not much had changed since the old days.
"Welcome, 3rd generation Magecraft Meister Jin Nido.
Inside, LeGrey, the Minister of Magical Arts and Technology, welcomed Jin Nido. Next to him was the emperor, and an elderly man and woman whom Jin did not recognize.
"I'd like to introduce you two right away. ...... well, introduce yourselves."
LeGrey motioned to the two men.
The first to open his mouth was an elderly man with dark brown hair mixed with gray and brown eyes.
"Ha. ...... I am Daiki-Nido. I am the Count of the Shoro Kingdom.
A woman with brown hair and brown eyes next to him introduced herself.
I am his wife, Cocona Nido.
And then they both said,
"It is an honor to meet the third generation and Reiko.
