<, important people were gathering at the airport for the arrival of the deus ex machina III.
>
A call came in from the control tower.
"Oh, yeah. Right on time."
Since the last visit was by a catamaran, which is used in many countries, Supreme Administrator Tomax Bartmann and the other members of the Avalon team had assumed that this would be the same this time.
But...
<>
What is it?
<
What is it? ...... Well, well, it's the latest in technology, Machina, I suppose that's possible."
Tomax Bartmann said, trying to look nonchalant.
However, when he saw the approaching aircraft, he broke out in a cold sweat.
It was a 100-meter-long airship.
Moreover, the air sac was flat.
It was a huge airship that boasted a hull one size larger than the hybrid airship , which is called the on modern Earth.
This was a special plane for Machina, built by Jin 400 years ago, and like <>, it was designed to be a spaceship and could fly in a vacuum.
The crew are all golems, of the same type as the Cosmos series, but in different colors, from <> 1 to 20.
The name of the ship is . It is just a coincidence that the ship is named after Aristotle, the philosopher who criticized < as a means of organizing theater.
"This, you own such an awesome airship ...... deus ex machina III is ......."
Tomax Bartmann muttered to himself, which must have been the thought of everyone present.
The giant airship landed at the airport as if it weighed nothing.
Telescopic landing gear emerged from the lower part of the cabin to support the hull.
The hatch opens, and ten black golems appear, five on each side of the hatch.
"Oh ......."
"That's a great golem. ......"
The people standing in line admire the black golems, which have human-like body lines.
Then two figures appear.
One is Deus ex Machina III, and the other is Rey, the knight-errant.
"Deus ex machina III, welcome!"
Tomax Bartmann, the Chief Administrator, stepped forward to welcome them.
"Tomax, it's been a month and a half. I'm glad to see you're doing so well.
Tomax Bartmann shook hands with Makina with a smile on his face, "My stomach is killing me," he wanted to say, but could not.
"...... But you're on something tremendous, aren't you?"
<. His voice trembled just a little.
"I thought I'd show you some of my skills."
"Yes, yes..."
That's more than enough! Tomax Bartmann thought to himself.
You made this yourself, didn't you?
"Yes, that's right."
In fact, Jin made it 400 years ago, but it is not a lie if Jin = deus ex machina.
"...... What brings you here today?"
Tomax asked as he led Deus ex Machina III and his valet Rey.
Of course, they did not travel on foot, but in a golem car. This golem vehicle is a small car specialized for transportation within <>.
"I would like to discuss with you about the inspection and future support.
"Support? That would be very helpful, to be honest.
Relieved that he was not being critical or critical, Tomax asked if he could give him some technical guidance.
"Yes," he said. But I'd have to take a look at the current first.
While they were talking, the golem car entered the building and proceeded down a wide corridor.
After passing through the wide corridor, the car stopped in front of the office of the Chief Superintendent, Tomax Bartmann.
"First, this way, please."
"I'm sorry to disturb you, sir."
Makina entered Tomax's office. Squire Ray followed silently.
There were two secretary golems in the office.
"Ah, these are ......<>-based golems, aren't they?"
Saffi is a bronze golem of a lady-in-waiting donated by Jin and Machina when the World Conference was held in <<> 400 years ago.
Nevertheless, Saffi was of the highest level in the world at that time, and is still < of the highest level today.
Since the secretary golem was based on it, it was naturally of high performance.
"Welcome, Machina-sama."
By the way, there are few automata in <>. All of them are golems.
This is because of the consideration that in case of emergency, the fact that they are hard to distinguish from human beings will not be a negative factor.
The exception is automata engaged in childcare.
I'll leave you with this.
"Here you go." "Thank you.
"Thank you."
The secretary golem placed a cup of tea in front of them.
Tomax sipped the tea first, followed by Machina.
"Actually, Elena of the Nostalgia party will be here in about five hours today.
"Oh, that's wonderful."
"And tomorrow, Jin Nidoh-sama, the <3rd generation Magecraft Meister>, Marikka-sama and Zion-sama of the Nord Federation, and Rhodoth-sama of the will be coming.... ..."
"We're going to have a lot of visitors."
Machina III laughed, but Tomax looked reluctant.
"As a host, I feel sick to my stomach.
"I see."
Makina smiled wryly,
"In that case, I think it would be better to have an important talk when all the members are present," she said.
Makina said.
Tomax's face turned pale when he heard that.
"Well, uh, ...... what exactly is the important thing? Can you at least give us an overview?"
He did not say he was not ready, but I could see from his expression that Tomax was not at ease.
"......It's okay. I would like to know what happened to the > and why I and the <<3rd generation Magecraft Meister>> are showing up now."
I see.
Well, in a word, it's because the threat of the League of Magic has passed.
Is that so?
"I guess the main thing is to tell you how it happened."
"......"
Tomax's face regained its original color as he realized it was not bad news.
"So, that's what you meant ......."
He then gulped down the tea in front of him in one gulp.
"It's hot!"
It was quite hot, but he barely managed to hold back his gulp.
"So, shall we make an inspection?"
"Yes, please."
Makina, on the other hand, drank her tea gracefully and answered with a smirk.
