10-22 Golem Complete (Chapter 288)
“They were all underlings of the Unifiers.”
Gloria had started briefing them about the details she acquired by interrogating the thugs Jin (or rather Reiko) had suppressed.
They were unrelated to the people who caused the golem uproar the previous day.
“It seems they had only received orders to attack Alban during the afternoon that day.”
She continued explaining, saying that they had received quite the half-baked orders, that they could just do as they please if they went berserk.
“No matter how I think about it, I come to the conclusion that their aim was to create chaos.”
She brought the briefing to a finish.
“The guy who tried to kidnap Hanna… well, I would say he was the more logical one out of the rest. He probably thought he wouldn’t go unscathed after attacking Alban. He confessed everything during the interrogation.”
She also added that they didn’t really know all the details themselves. Although, Jin probably knew more than anyone in the room about what was actually going on behind the scenes.
“I don’t know how much you know, Jin-dono, but from the information we received, it seems that the battle which broke out in Tetrada was brought to an end by a mysterious force. The Frantz kingdom’s army withdrew. You could call it one sort of a cease-fire.”
Jin also knew well about that. It was he who did it, after all.
“To summarize, I think it is okay to say that the small countries have become stable. Although the post-war conference with the Frantz kingdom has not been held yet.”
Although Jin was somewhat curious, he really just wanted to leave the political problems to the countries. However, there was one point he could not yield.
“Did the Frantz kingdom not do the recruitment?”
Jin had known that the order of recruitment had reached village Kaina.
“Hmm, the nobles who control territory have probably received instructions to send out soldiers in response to the population.”
It was princess Lieschen who answered. She seems to possess a good deal of knowledge, considering her age, which just goes to show her brilliance.
“Won’t it get withdrawn?”
That was what Jin was most curious about.
Gloria answered that question,
“It will probably get withdrawn within a day or two. I say that ’cause the knights will be returning from Tetrada around that time.”
She went on to say that it might not get withdrawn depending on the chivalry of knights’ loss and condition.
And finished saying that it was because they didn’t clearly know if this had brought the war with the Frantz kingdom to an end.
“I see.”
Hearing that explanation, Jin thought that he needed to take some more measures.
That night as well, Jin and the others were in the same bedroom as before. It was dimly lit with a magic lamp.
Hanna started yawning so they started to prepare for bed. Or rather, they just changed to night-clothes.
It was something which was provided with the room. He could tell it was silk from the feel.
While wondering about trifling things such as where they got the silk from, Jin changed his clothes. At that moment,
“Hanna-chan, you wanna sleep together today?”
Elsa asked Hanna.
When he heard that, he suddenly understood. That even though it was only for a short while, being captured during the afternoon was probably a shock to her.
At the same time, he reflected on the feeling that he wasn’t able to be considerate enough. And feeling grateful towards Elsa, Jin closed his eyes for the night.
The following day, after having breakfast, Jin was going to the royal palace’s workshop for the commission but,
“Lies-sama, can I take Elsa to the royal palace as an assistant?”
Jin asked, knowing that he would probably not be allowed. But to his surprise, the princess easily gave her permission.
“Hey~ hey~ princess, can I go too?”
Hanna also asked the princess.
To which she also gave her permission easily.
Moreover,
“Hmmm, it would be boring if both Hanna and Elsa were to go. I shall stick along as well.”
And as she said that,
“Princess! Then I shall accompany you too!”
said Gloria, who happened to be present there. Who knows if it was to guard the princess or just out of simple curiosity.
And so, they headed to the workshop altogether.
Jin thought that there would be trouble but as the gate guard was the vice leader of the imperial knight guards and the princess was there as well, they were all able to get into the workshop.
“Oohh! So this is the golem you’ve been making, Jin!”
“Wahh, so cool!”
Upon seeing the frames of 20 golems, the princess got excited. Hanna was also having fun. Elsa had seen it a few times so she didn’t show any reaction.
And Gloria went,
“Hmmm, so this is the framework of a golem. It will be helpful as a reference.”
But there was no one there who would inform her that taking that as a reference was not going to do her any good.
“First, we will add the muscles.”
Saying that, Jin started processing the leather of the dragonic eel.
“Elsa, look closely. In separation engineering magic, it is most important to be aware of the amount.”
As he explained, Jin went on separating the leather into needed proportions.
