explained how the Malchitas have been scratching this world from 300 years ago until recently.
"Fumu...... such a one existed. And I didn't know they had expanded to the continent of Pandor."
In terms of time, Golbert Markitas disappeared from the stage in the year 3770 of the continental calendar, and reappeared in the year 3884 under the name Guillermo Markitas. 884.

"Well, there is a good chance that this Markitas or whoever built the ship ......."
<> concluded, since <> explained that there are <> no all-metal ships in this world.
But.
"...... there is another possibility."
He also said.
"What is it?"
"...... the possibility that I was created by the being that created me. Since I am here now, it is not surprising that such a ship remains.
"Indeed, that's true."
agreed.
"That would naturally mean the sea north of the continent, wouldn't it?"
The island where they are now, , is located in the southern part of the continent.
"That is correct.
If so, would their base be on the continent of Pandor?
Yes, that's a big possibility. 100-meter class all-metal ship can sail there.

Hearing this conversation, the old man pondered.
< saw the mysterious ship was the time when Reiko and Horai Island were sealed off, and therefore, the old man did not have a detailed understanding of the situation at that time.
Naturally, it was not the ship of Horai Island.
> and <>...... may or may not be related, but there is too little information to guess.
> is the mastermind who inspired the three leaders of the who ransacked the .
He is said to have called himself Ivan Ivanovich, but I am sure that this is a false name.
We call him because it means that he always wears a mask.
<> ......>>
The reason why it is a <>, however, is due to the lack of information. In other words, the more information we gather, the less mysterious it is.
That is why the old man decided to search for the <> with a > first.

Now, in the Duchy of Jagus, the Duke Niestor Cirillo Jagus was eating a diet meal at 's place in the <>.
"Well, it's pretty good," he said.
"It's diet food, so it doesn't taste as good as it used to, but..."
The ingredients used are limited, and the taste is one rank lower because of the low amount of salt, which causes swelling, the high-calorie oil, and sugar, which is a typical carbohydrate.
No, this much flavor is enough."
<
"I have reduced the amount of salt in my dishes by using more seasonings and soup stock," he said.
"I see."
By the way, this lunchtime's menu consisted of soba noodles and stir-fried mushrooms with olive oil.
Yesterday, it was somen noodles and fried chicken with lemon.
Since I have reduced the number of dishes and the quantity of food, I have to admit that it is not enough for the King, but I have decided to keep it to myself for the sake of diet.
(I heard that the queen is also dieting together with him, so he seems to have a stronger will than expected.)
Even Elena (fake Elena) is secretly impressed by her.
This is partly due to the fact that , whom she trusts, has been threatening her for a long time that she will die prematurely if she doesn't lose weight.

Finally, the <> has managed to fix the distortion of <'s arm.
"<>!"
<> with its adamantite exterior and skeleton.
Lubark Bassi, the self-proclaimed head of the <>, was using engineering magic with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"......<! ......<<<!"
One of the four distorted arms seems to have been slightly restored to its original shape.
"Why is it so hard to fix?"
Rodriguez asks. Rodriguez is the one who has been asking questions to <> for a while now.
That's because the metal is under the spell of stabilization.
"Stabilization?"
Yes. <> is like that. In other words, it makes it less susceptible to outside influences.
"I see. Harder to be affected means harder to be deformed by magic.
That's right.
"But I wonder how much skill your creator must have had to do this ......."
"My creator must be the best in the world.
"......mm, it's scary because it doesn't sound like an exaggeration. We are like babies in comparison."
"...... Mr. Rodriguez, isn't that a bit condescending?"
Rubák chided Rodríguez for comparing himself to a baby with a sullen look on his face.
"No, no, it's important to look at yourself objectively.
When his colleague Ruyhardt said the same thing to him, Lubark frowned even more.
《......Yes. My creator can probably make 30 adamantite spheres at the same time. And that in less than a second.
"Oh my God!"
"......, you're a monster at the earliest ......."
Unexpectedly, Lubark Bassi's true words escaped from his mouth.
He heard it and recognized him.
Rodriguez hurriedly apologizes on behalf of his creator.
"I'm sorry about this. I didn't mean no disrespect."
"Well... I hope you understand.
Then we'll continue with the repairs.
"Mm, please.
"......<! ............<! >>
<<<>! <! >>
Lubark Bassi and Ruijkert take turns using their engineering magic, and finally one of the arms is almost restored to its original shape.
Oh, thank you!
"...... ha...... ha...... ha...... no, no, no, no."
"............ I'm glad I could be of help,...... ..."
