07-03 Chat 4: Ninja Unit
And here’s what Reiko was up to on the other hand .
She had noticed that ever since the 18th when they left the capital strange people were following them .
On the night of the 19th . Clouds .
Behind the hotel in the town of Kaltor .
One person was rendered helpless .
(Because Father dislikes killing . )
It had been fortuious for the person who ended up as the target that they got away with just simple bone fractures on both legs .
On the night of the 20th . Rain .
In the dead of night, in the hallway of a lodging house for visitors of the provincial city Buzzard .
Two people were rendered helpless .
(I see that the hair color’s different than that of yesterday’s person . Could several groups be sending shadowers like this?)
After stunning the two she had stripped them naked and tossed them out on the main road .
On the night of the 21st . Light rain .
On the second floor of the inn in Fragrant town .
One person was rendered helpless .
(Every day, is it . I should arrange for additional means of protection for Father . )
This person had been tied up and hung from the watch tower near the town .
And then on the night of the 22nd . Rain .
In the lodging house for visitors of the provincial city Dogran .
(It looks like they aren’t coming tonight, but I cannot be careless . )
Reiko then activated [ManaCom] .
“(Yes, Luna speaking . )”
Reiko’s little sister, support-duty golem Luna immediately responded .
“Luna, come over here using the Warp Gate . ”
“(Yes, Elder Sister . )”
Luna soon arrived teleporting through the Warp Gate installed in Jin’s deluxe carriage .
“Elder sister, you called . ”
“Thank you for coming . I’ll be going to the research laboratory now . I’ll be back by the morning, I’ll leave protecting Father in the meanwhile to you . You can do it, right?”
“Yes, Elder Sister . ”
And like that, Reiko moved to Hourai Island .
“Reiko-san, welcome home . How may I help you tonight?”
Hourai Island’s supervising magical intelligence ‘Laozi’ greeted her .
“Laozi, I have to consult you in regards to Father’s safety . ”
“Ask ahead . ”
Reiko and Laozi monitored each other to keep the other from behaving wildly, but it’s not like they had a bad relationship . Even less when talking about Jin .
Reiko explained everything in detail that had happened since the golem riot incident to Laozi . Laozi listened closely, and when Reiko’s talk was over,
“I understand . Elradrite, and [Subordination Rewriting Magic], was it, this does indeed sound like a nuisance . I’ll take deal with all of the golems here . Shielding and a Magi Recorder, right?”
“I’ll leave it to you . ”
“And after that, about My Lord’s bodyguards . ”
“That’s the number one problem, isn’t it . ”
After that, for a while Reiko continued discussing the details .
“We’ll do that, and have you come to a decision about if it’s alright to install ManaComs to each of the golems?”
“Yes . Myself I’ll ask Father to install one for me, but please do it for everyone excepting me, Laozi . ”
“Understood . There are many of them, so I’ll have them remodeled starting with with Soleil, Luna, Planetarium, and Satella, after whom I’ll do the numbered golems in ascending order . ”
“That should be fine . ”
Jin had already had internal ManaComs on his mind, and that being the case they took this chance to do the whole remodeling in one go .
“So, about building Father’s bodyguards, the Secret Police (SP), have you come to a decision?”
“Yes . Nonetheless, if we’re to build high-grade golems like that, we better get My Lord’s permission for it . ”
“That’s exactly right . I’ll try consulting Father tomorrow . ”
“Please do . ”
Finally, they exchanged trivial news .
“Lately My Lord has not been in contact with me, so records have been piling up . Could I have them conveyed through you, Reiko-san?”
“That’s alright . ”
He had Reiko report about the current completion of the map, about the repulsion of devil beasts that had approached and the materials gathered from them .
When the meeting was over it was already late at night . Reiko at once returned back to Jin .
Using the Warp Gate, without any time loss she returned to the provincial city of Dogran . It had stopped raining .
“Welcome back, Elder Sister . This person was seeking Father’s bedroom so I captured them . ”
Luna said and pointed at a man bound by rope . His face was swollen and he was unconscious . Reiko gave him a glance and then lost interest,
“Good work, Luna . I’ll handle the rest . You go back . Although it’s unfortunate you don’t get to talk with Father . ”
“Yes, Elder Sister . Give Father my regards . ”
And so Luna went back to Hourai Island . The caught man was left tied as is behind the lodging house .
The next day, Reiko tried talking to Jin about the SP . Then,
“Haha, I wanted to make something like that too . I suppose it’s pitiful to have you by yourself as my bodyguard at night, Reiko . . ”
No not at all, Reiko said, but Jin seemed to already have thought of an idea,
“Alright, tonight let’s quickly go back to the research laboratory to build them . …Ahh, I don’t have anyone to use as a reference for covert conduct, do I?”
Jin said and looked troubled so Reiko said,
“Oh, Father, if that’s the problem then I know just the right talent for it . ”
“Eh?”
Reiko then told him about the man tied up and left behind the lodging house .
“Hmm, people like him came as I thought, huh . The SP looks to be necessary after all . I got it . I’ll have his behavioral patterns and such . ”
He secretly went around to the back of the building where the man was still unconscious . That was convenient, so Jin used [Transfer Info] while the man was like that .
“[Transfer Info] Level 4 . ”
All at once he transcribed the knowledge of espionage activities, behavior, movements, and even organizational information to a Magi Crystal he held .
After analyzing it later, maybe he’d even get to know whence the man was dispatched from .
Furthermore it was coincidental, completely by chance, but in any case after yesterday’s pursuer’s failure their organization had dispatched their top-class man . Even though she was easily caught by Luna .
However, thanks to that Jin got rather, or should I say befittingly high-grade data on espionage to use in golems .
Night of the 23rd, rain .
In the lodging house for visitors of the provincial city Desir where the group was staying overnight .
In the middle of the night, just when the rain let up, Jin secretly snuck out of his room and headed towards the storehouse for carriages . Maybe because the organization was being vigilant after having their top-class agent beaten it looked like there were no suspicious people tonight .
Using the Warp Gate hidden inside the carriage Jin and Reiko teleported to Hourai island in an instant .
The time difference between Hourai Island and provincial city Desir appeared to be around three and a half hours . And that’s why over here it was also nighttime, but for golems there is no night or day .
“Welcome home, Father, Elder sister . ”
Reiko’s assistant golems, Soleil and Luna greeted them .
“Ah, I’m home . I may be hasty, but are the preparations complete?”
The one who answered that was Laozi .
“My Lord, welcome home . Yes, the preparation of all kinds of materials is complete . ”
“I see, thanks for your trouble . ”
Jin said and moved to the research laboratory .
First he’d add a ManaCom function to Reiko . As the basic equipment was already finished, this was finished quickly .
The real performance was the SP .
On top of their features, as being as light as possible was good he made their skeletons out of hollowed Light Silver, and their exterior out of Light Silver too .
Now, what do about the appearance . I’ll have the surface colored black . That should do, Jin answered his own question in his head and nodded .
Male-type, or female-type . Adult or child .
Soon the answer came to him .
To have them be able to deal in any kind of setting, making all of them would be good .
It took that night and the next one for Jin’s personal ‘Hourai Island Security Police’, alias ‘Ninja Unit’ to be born .
There were ten members . Five varieties, two of each .
Two little girl-type golems same as Reiko . ‘Pensee’ and ‘Viola’ .
‘Dahlia’ and ‘Kanna’ who had approximately the same figure as Elsa (however, their bosoms were a bit larger) .
Adult female-types ‘Lily’ and ‘Rose’ .
Standard adult male-types ‘Elm’ and ‘Ash’ .
And finally the young boy-types ‘Pothos’ and ‘Heath’ .
“Alright then, please take care of me . ”
Jin faced the ‘Hourai Island SP’ he created and said .
“Yes, Father . ”
They greeted him all at once .
