After receiving the Taisho Emperor's approval, it was a simple matter.
The emperor of the time, Weissberg Ernst von Shawlo, gave his approval immediately.
From then on, it was quick.
Jin prepared the golem and had it constructed.
...... 20 times faster than usual.
Still, it was less than one-fifth the speed of the construction work on Horai Island.
"I'm glad we hired Jin-kun after all."
Emperor Taisho comes to see the project almost every day.
"Sir Nido is different from other engineers, isn't he? He is indeed a Magecraft Meister."
And Emperor Weissberg Ernst von Shawlo.
"I knew it would be different in scale from the models."
You're right, aunt.
The topography has been prepared and now the pond is being dug.
The spring water is used to store the water in the pond.
The drainage water will be purified and put into the dugout.
The maximum depth is 3 meters. The average depth is about 1 meter.
Magi crystals with and effects are placed in key places to prevent excessive accumulation of mud.
As for the water plants, the basic plants, lotus and water lilies, are planted first.
"That area is the spring garden, isn't it?"
"Yes. Flowering plants include query, persica, daylily, and snow willow. In the flower beds made of natural stone, we have snowdrops, crocus and narcissus.
"Oh, that's nice. I love snowdrops."
"I see. I like them too.
Well, you too, Jin?
Yes.
I'm glad you like them.
Yes.
There was a scene like that.
And the garden began to take shape, and within a month it was completed.
"It's wonderful, Jin. The garden is exactly as I had envisioned.
"I am very happy to hear you say so.
"As well as the reward, Sir Jin Nido also grants you unconditional access to the inner garden here."
"E......"
You don't mind?
No, sir. It would be a great honor.
Well, I'm glad.
In other words, if Jin comes here, he can meet the Grand Shang or the current emperor at any time.
This was an unparalleled treatment and a proof of their great trust in him.
・・・・・・ And Jin often visited the garden to see it finished and had informal talks with the Taishang Emperor and the current emperor.
* * * *
"At that time, the most favored spot was under this query tree. It was still a small tree at that time.
Reiko's story of the past is over.
It was an interesting story for Emperor Ernst II and also for Jin.
The query had just been planted at that time, but now the tree is about 400 years old.
(You talked with the female emperor ...... or the Emperor Taishang here?)
Jin was deeply moved.
Even now, when he closes his eyes, he can see the soft and gentle smile of the Taishang Emperor......<<> on his eyelids.
It seems that Elsa was the same, squinting her eyes and looking up at the query tree.
And the present Emperor Ernst II also seems to have been thinking about his great predecessor.
"Thank you, Rekoehnle, for your precious words."
Raising slightly moist eyes, Ernst II stood up.
"Well then, I'll leave you with this ...... Oh, yes. Sir Nido."
"Yes?"
"You, too, <>."
"......! Yes, thank you, sir.
"Yes, thank you. I'll have the documents delivered later. I look forward to working with you and Ehime.
Elsa, who had been unseated, came up to me and congratulated me.
"Oh, thank you."
It was fortunate that no one but Elsa knew of this fact, since the crowd had been exorcised in the wake of the Emperor's arrival.
If not, the place would have been full of people who would have come to offer their obeisance by now.
"Oh, I'd hate that."
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern.
"Yes."
And they sat down again under the old query tree.
* * * *
Now, how were Goh and his friends doing?
"This is a nice place," said Goh.
"This place is well taken care of.
"It's artificial, but it feels natural and ...... harmonious."
The three of us were touring the garden, enjoying the flowers, the trees, and the view of the pond.
It was at that moment.
"Ah!"
There was a small cry, and at the same time, a clunking sound.
Goh and the others looked over to see two fallen samurai golems.
It seemed that they had hit something ......, but they looked a little strange.
"They won't get up, will they?
"No. It's strange that it would stop moving just from hitting something.
It's not like the golems bumped into each other to begin with, is it?
"Yes, I suppose so. That's not likely in a venue like this. Then what did they bump into?
Goh and Rubina have such a conversation.
And Merce sensed something strange.
"Oh, maybe, you know, that thing!"
"What?"
When she looked in the direction where Melze was pointing, she saw that two of the garden party participants seemed to be fighting, shooting each other with some kind of magic.
And the golem maidens and others were blocking the indiscriminate fire.
"This is dangerous. ...... I don't know what they are thinking in a place like this."
"Oh, here come the security soldiers."
Naturally, such a ruffian would be seized.
"They've taken him away.
"Are you a drunk or something?"
I hope they are not terrorists.
The commotion had rendered the two samurai golems inoperable.
"Hey Goh, can't we fix those two golems?"
"What?
"I'm curious to know how good the golem in the castle is, aren't you?"
Rubina invites Goh to join them.
"Can I do it on my own?
"I'm going to fix it for you, so why not?"
"Well, ......"
If Goh won't do it, I'll do it by myself.
"Oh, Rubina."
Rubina ran after Goh, who had no choice but to run after her.
Goh had no choice but to run after her, followed by Merce, who smiled a little bitterly.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
No one is approaching the fallen golem maidens, who are just watching from afar.
"Yes, please let me through.
Rubina waded through the crowd and approached the golem maiden.
Please let us through.
A little later, Goh rushed to the golem maidens.
"I knew you'd come too, Goh.
I can't leave it to Rubina alone.
As they exchanged these words, the two checked on the condition of the golem maidens.
