Magi Craft Meister

[Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience!

The announcement echoed. By Loud Magic Instruments (Loudspeakers).

[We are now hosting the 155th Golem Competition (Gompetation)!

The audience seats are wrapped in cheer.

"155 times... wow"

Jen is also honestly impressed.

[Now, let's briefly explain what the competition is about.... 51 golems in total to participate. It's all autonomous.

Because Jens had not been asked about the contents, he blurted his ears.

[We will compete for its speed, running and goaling on a designated course of approximately 100 km. Except!]

The announcement put in a sigh of breath here.

[If you don't have the marker at the five checkpoints you set up along the way, you will be disadvantaged, because 10 points will be added to each!

"Ho."

I hadn't even heard of Jens until the calculation method.

[For this reason, the ranking points are 50 points in the first place, 49 points in the second place, 48 points in the third place… and 1 point in the fiftieth place and 0 points in the fifty-first place]

"... I see"

Jen tries to calculate the point in his head.

[To give you an extreme example, the first place with 0 markers is 50 points. Fifty-first place with five markers will have fifty points. … this is an extreme example, but you would score higher in fifth place with five markers than in first place with four markers]

That means securing the marker is important.

[Markers use different colored Demon Crystals (Magi Crystals) from point to point, so you can't take five out of one place. That will disqualify you immediately.]

I guess, Jen nods too.

[It seems that each golem has devised a storage location for the marker.]

Those with storage space in their abdomen, swallowing from their mouths, and wearing things like belt pouches were scattered.

[With nearly a third of the course remaining, you will be able to unlock the battle and take away other markers!

It was my first ear that Jen and I had a third left, but I was convinced that would be to boost the competition.

[Video of the competition will be delivered by a dedicated golem with Magic Eye (Magic Eye) and Magic Eye (Magic Eye) installed in each location.]

Here the applause boiled again.

[Come on, the athlete golem has finally assembled!

Under the eyes is a place like a tidy ground.

There, 51 golems line the horizontal line. Looks like it's a starting line-goal line.

Golem, so Zeke numbers are painted directly on the back.

(You sound like a baseball player)

And Jen held his thoughts.

[... Zeke 1 is made by the Minister of Magic and Technology, Lord Legray Gibbs von Besbias, 'Hugel'! I am a winning candidate!!

"Oh, that sounds pretty balanced"

"It looks good"

Is "Hugel" about two meters tall? It has a body shape such as fine macho.

Hereinafter, Zeke 2, 3, and 4 will be introduced, but Jen's eye-catching fuselage is difficult. And.

[... Zeke 13 is Gasleg Mivas, Golem "Vikry" for this first time!

"Oh, that's pretty good. But..."

"That's a treat."

"It's a treat."

2.5 meters tall, and a fair width. Let's call it Mukimuki Macchio for body shape.

However, the strength and quality of the constituent materials were such that I could tell.

And again, there are no golems like this in particular.

[... Zeke 51, this special entry was made by the Kingdom of Egerea "Royal Workshop (Royal Factory)", "Aaron"!

"The Royal Factory was founded about 400 years ago by His Royal Highness Ernest, the third prince."

Rhodotos sneaked up on me.

"That Ernesto..."

He was Jen, who remembered a young prince who loved the golem in a nostalgic way.

This' Aaron 'was also in quite a balanced shape.

"The third prince is the Honorary Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Royal Factory, His Highness Ernest XVII, who is in the royal seat, not the guest seat."

The CEO of the Royal Factory will name Ernest for generations.

Turning around and looking at you, Ernest XVII was, oddly enough, a boy about fourteen years old.

Somehow there was that Ernest shadow, I think I noticed Jen, and Ernest XVII waved small.

What surprised Jen was the golem standing behind it.

(Lotte......?

It was Lotte, the Golem of the Lady of Beana, the ancestor of Rubina.

(You look good.... My current husband seems to take care of me too. Good)

Lotte's exterior has no scratches or rust, is perfectly polished, and she is properly dressed as a samurai. Even if you look at that point, you can see that it is taken care of.

Jen felt warm in the back of her chest.

[… Now, it's time to start the competition. Start second reading. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five...]

The venue quieted down like a hit of water.

[… 3, 2…]

I thought I heard the sawdust and the spit that someone drank.

[... 0! Here we go!]

The silence was replaced by a loud cheer, a ground sound and 51 golems ran out.

[Running out in unison! Ah, in the mess just after the start, three... no, four fell! Two more are falling over because of it!

After all, is the dungo state just after the start a gateway, a total of seven fell and took the delay.

Nevertheless, a minute or so in a race running through a course with a total extension of 100 km is likely to be retrievable at any cost ahead.

And that's what they thought. The five golems run at my pace without running the dash in the start. Since then, seven bodies that had fallen have gone after them.

And the screen switches. There are seven leading groups.

Zeke 1, 3, 13, 31, 40, 49, 51.

[Leading group, we're plugged into the mountain road!

It is a mountain road that leads to the summit of Mount Baksa.

Zigzag Road, not a straight line climb. Two markers are placed in the middle abdomen as checkpoints.

Approximately 10 km to the first checkpoint. It is a distance that can be worn in about twenty minutes for the golems who run at about thirty kilometers an hour.

"Oh, Aaron's fast too."

From a physical standpoint, the heavyweight class is disadvantaged on mountain roads. In that regard, 'Hugel' and 'Aaron', also known as the middleweight, were gently driving up the mountain path.

[Zeke 1, get to the first checkpoint at the top! I've got the red marker! Followed by Zeke 51! Oddly enough, Zeke, the minimum and maximum are in first or second place!

The markers were then held in the order of 13, 49, 31, 3, 40. Thirteen markers remain.

With the second group on his ass, the seven golems drove down the mountain path.

"Simply this. Then it's not funny, is it? I wonder if there's some kind of trick?

Jen shrugs.

"Master Jin, what do you mean?

Rubina heard the words and asked Jen a question.

"Hmm? Yeah, as it is now, you feel like the top is going to run off and end up. So I thought there might be something a little more confusing."

"Right, Mr. Jin.... How about here?

Rhodotos also listened to the conversation.

Box seats also contained maps of tournament courses.

"Uh, what...?

"Look, after this fourth checkpoint, this is the route to the fifth checkpoint"

"Oh, I see"

There, the road to the fifth checkpoint and the road back were the same.

In other words, it is a section in which the beginning and the following are intrusive, and besides, it is a battle-friendly area there.

"This place sure looks confusing."

A great area to take the marker in your hand at the fifth checkpoint.

There will undoubtedly be a wave there first, Jen agreed with Rhodotos.
