06-24 The Unveiling

Next day, immediately after breakfast Jin got to improving Lotte. Of course, Earl Kuzuma was present.

Jin had the Magi Crystal on which he had yesterday copied the movement pattern of the head of the squad two of the Royal Secret Maids, Rianna, he transcribed the information from the crystal to Lotte’s Control Core.
If you need a mental image, it was close to a updating a computer’s OS, or maybe patching it.

“Is it done now?”

“Yep. Earl, could you start it up, please?”

“Lotte, how’s the state of your body?”

“Yes, Father. There are no problems.”

“Alright, now… Rianna-san, could you attack Lotte, just lightly will be fine, please?”

Jin explained to the wondering Rianna that it’s because Lotte should be able to use the same martial art as her.

Rianna took a short sword from under her skirt. Unlike Laila, she didn’t cut up her skirt.

Lotte repelled it with her left hand and took a step forward, aiming her right fist at Rianna’s solar plexus. But Rianna avoided it with a backwards somersault.

Since it wasn’t for combat training or anything, just to check the movements, Jin had the two people (one person and one golem) stop.

“Hmm, that’s great! Not just Lotte, but Rianna, you were splendid too.”

“You flatter me greatly.”

“As expected of the leader.”

“Aww, how didn’t she cut her skirt…”
Et cetera, the other watching Royal Secret Maids admired Rianna’s moves. Although one of them had a bit off-point impression.

“Jin, amazing, you are! What a curious method! I want to try to do it like that too!”

“However,”

“Showing that in public isn’t good. Listen, what do you think would happen if it was known read the mind of a general or a cabinet minister just like that?

In practice, by resisting the reading could be prevented, but it’s impossible for people who don’t know that.

Jin thanked Reinhardt for his advice.

And in the afternoon, the golem party finally started.

The Royal Secret Maids saw Jin and the others off the guest house. Knights came to pick them up and they were towards the inner royal palace.

Just like Earl Kuzuma explained, the cabinet ministers entered first. Then the nobles working in the castle, and afterwards Reinhardt and Elsa entered along with the invitees.

Jin was looking at the people entering with them, but excluding the Magi Craftsman Bootes who built Earl Guarana’s golem Owl, they were all new faces.

“Oh, teacher!”

“Teacher?”

“Hmm.”

“Ah, I wanted to give my greetings.”

“Come on, it’s our turn soon.”

Then the person in charge invited Jin and Beana to enter. Looking around, no one could be seen. Jin and Beana were literally the last ones.

“…Ooh.”

“His Majesty the King of Egelia, Harold Ruan Autocracy=Egelia-sama! His Royal Highness the third Prince Ernest Relm Andrew-sama!”

Far away figures that looked like the King and the Prince sat down upright.
On both sides of them was a row of nobles each wearing extravagant garments, some decorated with gold and silver threads, others with sparkling gems. On each one’s side stood a figure covered with a cloth, likely golems.

“And now, for His Majesty the King of Egelia, Harold Ruan Autocracy=Egelia-sama’s third Prince’s, his Royal Highness Ernest Relm Andrew-sama’s, birthday celebrations! I present to you, the golem party!”

When the sound of the applause ceased, the king brought up his left hand. This time everyone present suddenly fell quiet.

The king expressed his thanks without bowing his head.

“…We have nothing further to say.”

“Everyone, thanks for today. You’ve gathered many golems just because I like golems, and I’m very grateful.”

“…I am of the impression that my father, the King has a reward for whoever’s brought the most interesting golem. Please look forward to it. Now, everyone, please present your golems!”

Finally the long greeting was over, and the unveiling of the golems was about to begin.

Again the event director’s voice echoed,

A white-haired aged man stepped forward, put his hand on the left side of his chest and made a deep bow. Then,

Then, Prime Minister Galueri removed the cloth covering the golem next to him.

“Ooh!”

“Wonderful!”

The whole body of the golem that came into sight was made out of transparent crystal.

In the central part was a purple Magi Device. The pupils were like burning deep crimson. It was extremely beautiful.

It had a clear and beautiful voice. Its gestures were like they flowed.

With soft movements nearly like a human’s, everyone watching was mesmerized, and the eyes of the nobles who were sitting in a row were glued on Ceres. Actually, the King’s and the Prince’s were the same.

“Hmm, since there’s no joints to be seen, that must mean it uses [Forming] to move.”

“The Magic Energy efficiency must be bad. But, it’s a beautiful golem. You could already cal it a work of art.”

And then looking at the Magi Craftsman who built Ceres, he saw a woman in her early 30s, or maybe in her late 20s.
Her bronze-colored hair reached to her back; she was an intellectual-seeming woman with reddish brown eyes. Those eyes were looking at her own work, Ceres.

When the demonstration ended, the whole audience burst into applause.

“Oh, truly.”

The nobles whispered some such to each other with a low voice.
