"A growing artificial monster... Sure, there's a lot of magic, but it only looks normal from anywhere else."
"Didn't Tina know they existed?
"Once, Takato-sama, a brave man, talked to a distant man (Hart) about 'wanting to increase his subordination'. Perhaps it was created at that time, but neither I nor the distant people actually saw the automata."
Takato was extremely afraid of being angered by distant people for doing whatever he wanted. A distant attack that made a fool of him as a crippled brave man who could only protect him - he wandered between life and death with just one punch, so it would be helpless.
So when Takato tried to do something, he always checked with a remote person.
When you finally defeat the Demon King and return to the original world.
"Anyway, they've been waiting forever."
"Were you waiting? What are you talking about?
"The Lord's Return. They have their own will and become stronger on their own, but their raison d 'être is to obey the Lord's commandment. Their greatest joy was when they fulfilled the Lord's life."
"I don't know, the Lord ─ ─"
"It's about Tina. He's reborn, but it's possible that Hart will be recognized as Lord for some reason."
Kyoko knows that Hart used to come to this world and that he is a reincarnated person. Hart doesn't particularly hide his origins from everyone in the Ernol family.
Then she has the power to read the thoughts just by touching humans. You can grasp not only thoughts, but also past events that the human himself has forgotten.
A hundred years before Automata was created, Kyoko was sealed by her daughter, Yoko. Since Hart was resuscitated and unsealed a few years ago, she has used her power to read the human mind to focus on gathering information about the world. In the process, I discovered the existence of artificial monsters created by the wise Kana.
Incidentally, along with Yoko, Kyoko has focused on gathering information because he thought it was his role to crush the forces of the underworld that could become the enemy of Hart.
If they were actually dealing with backers such as the Dark Alliance or the Assassins, they were the ones with the ability to read thoughts. Discern lies and do not tolerate betrayal. And Kuo Fox's parents and children, combining brainwashing magic and high combat ability, greatly repainted the composition of the society behind this world.
"The village where these people lived seemed to have about a hundred automatas. The strong have enough power to defeat the Class Dragon."
Many Automata were destroyed by monsters in the process of defeating the Demon King by distant people and Takato. However, when the Demon King fell, the monster's activities subsided, and along with that, Automata's role ended.
The surviving Automata gathered in one part of the Magic Continent to build a village. So they waited for the return of the LORD.
"Man-made monsters get so strong."
"The second generation, so the third generation, these kids might be stronger."
Eh?
"Then again, they are willing to exist. While I was following Tina's orders, I felt happy about it... I'm so sorry to see you, why don't you make it a little easier for me?
Kate, who stopped at Tina's behest as she tried to slash the candle, remained in a strange position.
"Ah! That's right. Um... please stand up."
Yes!
Kate stood up momentum.
As he dived from his face to the slightly moist ground, his face and clothes were covered in mud. But Kate was looking straight at Tina with her sparkling eyes, as if she didn't care.
"I'm sorry. Um, please make yourself comfortable.
"Yes! It's okay!! I'm glad you gave me an order!!"
"Wow, can I go there, too?
When Tina starts talking to Kate, Aria decides she's allowed the conversation and wants to move.
"... go ahead."
Yes!
Aria came with a lot of momentum and lined up next to Kate. They were looking at Tina with the eyes of expecting something.
Tina has been working hard for Hart all along. In the presence of such a woman, a sincere desire to do anything for herself emerged. I am accustomed to dedication, but on the contrary, I get in trouble when I expect an order.
Worried about what to do with them, a magical formation of metastases was deployed a little further away.
"Let me wait! I brought you a towel and a change of clothes. Who are these kids?
Hart's back.
"I'm Kate!
"I am Aria!
He is also recognized as the master of Automata.
In fact, when Kana created Automata, Takato gave her most of the magic she needed. At that time, Takato had a strong deep psychology that he had to submit to distant people.
Because of its huge influence, remote people were more than Kana (creator) for Automata - the highest level of existence (Grandmaster).
For some reason, Kate and Hart recognized each other. For them, Hart was the object of absolute obedience.
"These children are adventurers who came to defeat their concubines....."
Eh?
"But you seem to be listening to me."
"... is that so?
Yes!
"Yes!
"I don't know, but you're not my enemy, are you?
"I'm not an enemy!!"
Hmm. Oh, no.
I don't know what's going on, but Tina and Kyle don't seem to be putting Kate at risk, so Hart stopped prying any further.
"Kate? It's a lot dirty. I brought a spare towel, so let's get rid of the dirt from the hot spring there."
"Yes, I'll come with you."
Wow, can I, too?
"No, Aria can't. We're going in that way, so you're going in with Tina and the others."
Several hot springs erupted here, and they were visible on the other side of the rocky field a little further away. Hart moved in with Kate.
"Just Kate.... That's nice."
Aria murmured as she looked away at Hart and Kate's back.
"Yes, yes, the girl is this way."
Eh? Then Kate too.
What?
Eh?
Automata is absolutely obedient to the Master's orders.
That is, even if it is a (...) hot spring (...) and a (...) life (...) decree.
