Saint-Gerton, the capital of the Kingdom of Franz. Here is the royal palace, the residence of the king.
And now, inside the palace, there was a commotion.
What was the message from Tomax Bartmann of Avalon?
"Well, that's ......."
Asked by Queen Caroline de Lafayette, Claude de Chaunay, Minister of the General Affairs of the Kingdom of Franz, faltered.
"What's the matter? What is it?
"Yes, yes."
At his repeated prompting, Claude de Chaunay opened his heavy mouth.
"Actually, the village of Kawaha, south of San Gelton, was one of the strongholds of the League of Magic.
"What? The village of Kawaha is just a stone's throw away!
The queen is so surprised that she can't help but show her true colors.
Yes.
Clou de Chaunay shrinks, as if revealing the incompetence of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, which has overlooked the presence of a terrorist organization's base in such a close proximity.
"......Come on, Crowe, don't be so timid. I know you work hard every day. That's how crafty they've been. Please ...... continue your explanation."
Queen Caroline's tone returns to a man's. "Your Majesty!
"Your Majesty..."
Claude de Chaunay is afraid to speak, but continues.
"It seems that the villagers there are all members of the League of Magic. Though it seems that many of them were brainwashed.
"Hmm, sounds like the kind of thing lowlifes would do.
"We had prepared a golem for battle, the <>. Its most dangerous one is ......."
Here Claude de Chaunay checks the note in his hand.
"It can tear apart a 3cm steel plate..."
"Terrible ...... that you could get it under control before there are any more victims."
That's what it said.
So you want me to give you my permission to overstep my bounds, is that it?
That's what it means.
Good. I admit it. In fact, I'd like to thank you.
But then Prime Minister Joachims de Droe interrupted.
"Your Majesty, it is sometimes necessary to make a complaint first, and then reluctantly admit it.
But the queen rebuffed this advice.
"Well, Prime Minister, you are right in your advice. However, I would like to deal with this matter ...... <> with all sincerity."
"......"
"The gentleman is a brother apprentice of Sir Jin Nido, with whom I have just made friendship. And Jin-dono was far from ambitious. Then there is a strong possibility that the same is true for Makina-dono. I would like to thank you first without any subterfuge. I would like to simply thank you."
At these words, the Prime Minister simply bowed deeply in silence.

<, Tomax Bartmann is receiving a report from his secretary, Manon the Automata.
"...... I understand that the Kingdom of Franz has replied to you that they approve of all the actions in this arrest drama?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's good to know."
Tomax Bartmann added,
"...... But it is a serious matter that an entire village, even a small village, was a member of this group."
"Yes, you're right."
They feared that there might be other places and other countries.
Should we inform the other countries?
It would be a disgrace to the Kingdom of Franz, so I think it would be better if the information originated in that country.
Yes, indeed.
Besides," continued Tomax Bartmann.
"...... the performance of that may even exceed that of a common battle golem."
"That's right."
It is quicker and has an attack power that can destroy a vital part of the body with a single blow.
Their visual sensors (eyes) and auditory sensors (ears) would be ruined, and some golems would lose their brains as well. .......
"But who would have thought that the creator of the would be a common, unnamed magical engineer?"
It would be a shame to let him remain buried.
"Hmmm. ......<> for protection ......, or house arrest ......, or ......."
"You mean, you want to make them belong to <>?"
"That's what I'm saying. As long as I'm here, it's unlikely that I'll come into contact with any unscrupulous people.
"You are right. I'll contact the Shoro Empire at ......."
"Yes, you should try that."
* * * *
In response to this, information was spread from the Kingdom of Franz to each country that there might be a local government controlled by the <> and that they should be careful.
The result of the campaign will be reported later.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
In Shoro, Emperor Ernst II and Minister of Magic and Technology LeGray were talking.
"Hmmm, such a talent has been buried. This is our country's loss.
<, Dorite Cotespert, was an outstanding magical engineer.
"We must pay more attention to the engineers on the street," he said.
"For that reason, I would like to build a <> and promote engineering magic and technology in general."
"Yes, that's right. ......How is the construction progressing?"
Yes, almost on schedule.
* * * *
And the dolight coats part.
"Oh, it's so cozy here. ......"
He was working in a workshop set up in the Shoro Imperial Palace.
He woke up at 6:00 a.m., and after breakfast, from 7:00 a.m. to noon, he worked according to written instructions.
After a one-hour lunch break, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. he had free time to devote himself to whatever research he wanted.
From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, bathing and dinner.
From 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. is a general knowledge lecture called "reeducation.
After that, from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. is free time.
And from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the next day, it was time for sleep.
I wonder if Jin would say, "This is a white office.
Well, even though we have holidays, we are not allowed to go out basically, and we need permission to meet with outsiders, so we do not have freedom in that sense.
However, Dorite Coates-Pert did not seem to have any such acquaintances or friends, and did not seem at all dissatisfied with this treatment.
He was so careless about his personal belongings except for those related to his research that he would leave the same clothes on for more than a month if his caretakers did not take care of them. He was a man.
"Well, the magic lamp I had you make for me to try out is beyond the standard of most people.
The Minister of Magical Arts and Technology LeGray was astonished.
"How many people under my command can make something like this? If you learn ...... the basics properly, I am sure you will be able to grow even more.
Just then, <> asked me if I would like to retrain the dolight coats part.
After three years, <> will take care of the Dorite Coatsapert, and after that, we will decide how to treat him, taking into consideration his wishes and the wishes of the Shoro Imperial Kingdom.
"Ummm, what should I do? ......"
The Minister of Magical Technology is troubled.
I think it would be good for Dorite to have her re-education at .
On the other hand, I feared that he would not come back to Shoro after the period and would want to be a member of <>.
Or rather, with the character of Doright Coates-Part that we have seen so far, he would probably want to belong to <>.
"But that is because the level of technology in our country is inferior to that of <>. ......"
I was aware that I should reflect on this point.
"Good."
I decide to leave it to the will of Dorite Coates-Part.
However, he would not leave the country without a condition that he would work in Japan for at least one year at the end of the three-year period.
More than a decade later, Doright Coatsapert is said to be the first quadrupedal golem, but that is another story.
