Naturally, the ministers who were informed of it vehemently disagreed.

But the king didn't stop.

And he made a particularly rebellious minister... the nucleus of an artificial demon stone airman (high golem).

That way, no one could resist.

As suppressed by force, King Sumerian's SS is both loyal and powerful.

As in appealing to the public opinion, Robert's support is very high, and if he does that again, the country will be inclined.

I couldn't do anything.

That's why I shut up.

Just praying not to expose it to the public.

The use of humans as nuclei led to a mass production target for artificial demon stone fighters (high golems).

But soon another problem will emerge.

Initially, sinners were used in the nucleus of artificial demon stone fighters (high golems).

But people weren't good at anything.

Many sinners are weak in magic.

Because they were overflowing from society because of it, and they could not live without it.

Regardless, some of them used powerful magic for crime and came to it as a result of living in desire.

But many of the sinners fell short of that, and were not enough material to make them the nucleus of artificial demon stone fighters (high golems).

Robert, who hit the wall again, comes up with something again.

That was the adventurer.

An adventurer is a dangerous profession of death and neighbourhood.

For this reason, many adventurers are more physically robust and have more magic to enclose than people like them.

And not returning as requested...... not much.

Robert laid eyes on it.

That's how Sumerian started capturing adventurers.

Nevertheless, competent adventurers are the best materials, as well as important beings who support the country.

Not too much can be lost.

So Robert took the sum.

Olympus, Celtic and… "Proposed Cross-border Joint Request".

Also, a bill to attract various adventurers, including tax exemptions such as lodging, martial arts stores, and taverns.

All of them were for collecting artificial demon stone fighter (high golem) materials.

If we grab adventurers from other countries, not Sumerian adventurers, the country will not hurt, and even weaken others.

Lost tax revenues can only be recovered by Artificial Demon Stone Airmen (High Golem).

Also, if you can mass-produce some artificial demon stone fighters (high golems), invade Babinia and take away the demon stone vein that you recently discovered.

That's what Robert thought.

Evil thoughts. refracted ethics.

He was getting there naturally.

If you live normally, you never have to choose the path.

But he wasn't normal.

That does not mean that he was born to the king's son.

He had a secret.

There are secrets that can never be revealed.

Moreover, his father… that is, an act done by the previous king has greatly twisted his ethics.

Of course, for whatever reason, we cannot justify his actions in the end.

However, as a result, Sumerian King Robert became a reaper as a result of all the events surrounding him.

Plus, there's a chase wind blowing at Reaper.

It happened when artificial demon stone fighters (high golems) were produced to some extent and the sight of the invasion of Bilonia stood.

Yes… "The Northern War".

Rare, which absorbs one tea-turn nation after another and continues to expand its power, and tea-turns, where demonic stones have been depleted and no longer become the only major power by name.

The difference in power was obvious.

To stop the war, Olympus, Celtic, Greek, Nieberg, etc. sent out soldiers, and although they were temporarily glued, the war situation at once leaned to rare due to the invasion of the Dragons at that time.

Robert moves there.

He immediately sent a messenger to a highly defeated tea turn and sold the artificial Demon Stone Soldier (High Golem).

Once, as Din, the Knight Commander of Nieberg, who was in action with Tia, Asna and the North, said, Teeturn breathes back with it.

As he read, it wasn't developed by Teeturn, it was Sumerian artificial demon stone fighters (high golems).

Sumerian also succeeded in collecting development funds from Teetern, and was able to spread the usefulness of artificial demon stone fighters (high golems) throughout the world.

Moreover, it is much safer than invading Bilonia, and if this brings an end to the war, it gives the world a better image than that.

Bringing peace...... as a weapon that stopped the war.

"It'll be a battle..."

"Definitely"

"Especially if you do Olympus or something, right? Oh, then, should I take off the suicide bomber?

Artificial Demon Stone Airmen (High Golem) were equipped with suicide bombers right next to the nucleus to prevent them from analyzing their internal structures if captured.

If the nucleus is destroyed, inactivated, or does not disarm the suicide bomber, forcibly stripping the armor, etc., the artificial Demon Stone Soldier (High Golem) will immediately cause a major explosion.

It was also meant to cover up that the artificial demon stone fighters (high golems) were… people.

"Maybe every country tries to look inside, huh? Then bong!...... so. Some of them died on the tee turn, didn't they?

"Yeah. According to the inside man,"

"Tee turns didn't say anything because they were stuffed with cutting feathers, but other countries aren't, are they? It's a glitch! Give me my money back! Wouldn't it?

"Well, you'll be using demon stones by then, so you may not even need to be too hypersensitive...... Still, if you're analyzed for your internal structure, things may come up in other countries. So why don't we just tell them that in advance?

"That's right... or that... not to blow yourself up, but something like this... melt! Anyway, why don't we just turn off the magic circuit? You know, make it another way you don't get it!

"If so, will you formally request it from the Technical Department?

"Mm-hmm. Well, I'll be there today. Now."

"Yes, from now on?

"Yeah. I was just saying. Look...... good material in today? I saw that, too. And tomorrow, look, because Brightshaft's coming."

"Oh... you did. Now what?

"Hmph! Ancient magic gear! You're excited! Linaria, don't be in your seat! I'm sure you'll like it, huh?

"If His Majesty says so much..."

"Yeah, yeah! Let's just go... underground."

"Yes, then, ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the meeting...... good luck"

Two conversations end, named the meeting, and the executives exhale as they bow their heads.

Everyone was aware of it.

This is the sharing of sins.

I mean, he's an accomplice.

Everyone here.

The king and Linaria leave the room, and the executives stand silently.

And he rounded his back and slowly left the room behind.

―――――――――――――――――――――

"Ha... no response whatsoever..."

With a faint voice, Tia growls so.

Asuna nodded weakly, still against the wall.

"I wonder if there's anyone else but us..."

"Because it's so wide... I don't think so..."

"That's right... guys..."

"I wonder if I gave up".

Tia swallowed the word, which went all the way out to her mouth.

Because when I said it, I was going to be like that myself.

"... I wish it was a skill I could use at a time like this"

"What? Tier's skills are handy. I can't believe I can smell magic."

"Yes, but... now it's no use... Ah, then it's not skills, it's stunts! Like a rope! I wish it were like that..."

"Ha ha... you do want that now. Oh, so you have a stunt? What's a Tia stunt? I haven't heard that yet, have I?

"... I hate to say it"

"Hey, why?

"Because... it's a disappointing stunt"

"What's a disappointment stunt... just tell me"

"... don't you laugh?

"I won't laugh."

"Absolutely!?

"Don't laugh!

"Then say..."

"Yeah. Tell me."

"... Y... ho..."

"What? What?

"Sa, y, ho, let's!

In the dark, Tia's voice clings.

"Sa, sewing... but... are you good?

"... since I was a child..."

"Heh..."

"Look! Asuna, you're laughing!

"I'm not laughing. I'm not laughing! also, these faces originally...... heh...!

"Yes, I laughed! That's why I didn't want to tell you!

"No, no! Think she's cute."

"... what is it?

"Tia's shy... that was hilarious"

"Hmm...... ahh! With needles and threads! These embarrassing clothes... these are just cloths!?

"Hey... I can see the whole thing from the side..."

"I didn't hide it before and after...... Oh, you mean, what's Asna's skill? Isn't it possible to disable the magic of the Demon Stone?

"Uh... speaking of which, you hadn't tried it yet. But I don't think I can do it, do I? That's not my skill..."

Kachiri...... and the sound of something coming off rings and the two look at each other.

And Asuna slowly... put her hands forward.

"Hey, hey!?

"Ha, off...... ugh!? Tia, be quiet......!

"What... ah...!

That's when the footsteps I did hear held their mouths.
