Hearing a word from the Demon General Vestri, I couldn't help but breathe.

- Stuff from Agate Lamb.

It's certainly not an unlikely story if you ask me.

Rather, we could even say that it was a possibility that should have been assumed sooner.

The battle against Agate Lamb twice allowed us to obtain the remains of an autonomous doll, although we could never have said much.

It's like the feedback from a sample that I got from my brother-in-law, and there must be a lot of other achievements that I don't know yet.

"Oh... the Demon King's Army (you) have been hostile to Agate Lamb for a long time. The amount of information you know about them, the number of physical evidence you're getting, that's for sure."

You should honestly acknowledge the superiority of the Demon King's Army on this.

Otherwise, there is no point in concluding agreements on temporary truces and cooperative relations, etc.

"Maybe you'll give us that seizure?

"Kakaka. No way. Because it's a valuable substitute for us, I'm not going to give you ownership."

Without so much anticipation, he still didn't simply bring it as a gift, although he just asked for it for now.

Then explain to me what you've come to do - return a silent hand gesture with that in mind.

You can't just have wanted to show off your catches and brag about anything.

The Demon King's army is the ones who have tormented us on many occasions, but on the contrary, there is confidence that they should stand around with their heads clearly.

"We have captured some wreckage, but their restoration and analysis is going to be pretty good. All of the highly skilled equipment was left on the third tier."

"Well... if I could replicate the Agate Lamb doll, I wouldn't dig back and modify the golem or try to merge the humans on the ground with the dragon"

"Kakaka. Absolutely right. If we can make dolls with the same performance, we're not struggling either. That's only because of Evaldi's skills."

While Vestri and I were having a conversation, a golem with built-in capture gear was trying to stick his arm in his chest again and drag something out.

"By the way, this underground space is where Evaldi stored his defensive golem against the ground. We haven't even looked deeper than here."

"... that's an interesting story, but that's not the point, is it?

"Don't rush. Look, they're coming out."

Golem pulls his thick arm out of his chest like a round too.

What was in its hand was a human wreck made up of inorganic objects - an Agate Lamb doll.

"Become...!

Observe it (...) and be calmly (...), though stunned.

It was an indisputable wreck in itself, gripped by earthy arms.

It's an incredible, fragmented wreck that no longer believed this was moving like a human being, as if it had wired the parts of a pottery doll crushed by a carriage.

The head damage is particularly severe, with silver clay-like soil embedded instead of the contents of the cracked head.

It makes me feel like I've seen something cruel, even though I know it's an artificial manufacture.

Maybe it's because I know that such a doll had an ancient soul.

"It's Luke Whitewolf. I'm not going to give you these, but I can lend (...) and (...) or (...). It's supposed to be a regular Agate Lamb soldier, but it can also be used against trainees."

"... in return for giving it to you?

"Sharing. Ask them to share everything, physical and restore information. I don't want any more."

Even if I wanted to fix it, I couldn't fix it. Let me [repair] the capture weapon, and I'll get what I get from it. Calculation?

In other words, it's like the Demon King's Army provides damaged catches and I [repair] them and get both equally profitable - a reasonable proposition to put it this way.

Given the possibility of hostility again after discussing Agate Lamb, I don't know if it will lead to an increase in the Demon King's Army's power, but this one can be connected to an increase in their power as well, so it's totally mutual.

But the problem is...

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be able to do a complete [repair]. Looks like the original parts are pretty much lost."

"You know what I mean? You don't have the right eye, you don't have the analytical skills."

"That's a lot of skill. I can tell a certain amount of things by the amount of eyes."

I looked down at the wreckage placed on the floor and took some of it.

"Making up for a broken sword with mud is no substitute for iron. The reason you couldn't restore it is not only because of the complex structure, but also because the materials used in the parts are special, right?

Vestri's mouth shapes the grin.

It's more like you're happy that I'm someone who can make this kind of decision than an invincible laugh that plots something.

"If the material changes, so does the strength. Metal can achieve the mechanics of the structure, so that it doesn't necessarily move properly where it is made of woodworking, so that tools made of special materials are [repaired] with matching materials..."

The strength and physical properties of the material were also a major problem for the weapon-making prosthetics that Alexia and the others were studying.

Blade and crossbow extension mechanisms, fixing mechanisms, and shock absorption during attack - lack of strength was seen as a problem in all respects, but this is greater for the strength of each part than for structural problems.

Much more complex and high-performance Agate Lamb weapons than those, just made up for by iron or steel, would quickly break down and become useless everywhere.

"Kakaka. It's the right decision. Sometimes the alphazle just chooses to be a vessel."

"... I'll take it as a compliment. But what are you actually going to do? Armor, weapons and the remains of the doll body...... pulling it all together would not be enough material for the doll as a whole. At least I need you to offer me more in kind."

"I don't even need to be told. The doll's wreckage is [REPAIR] material. I want you to use that to fix your weapon."

"No, wait. Then how the hell do you move a weapon..."

The moment I took my eyes off the wreckage and turned back to Vestri, I lost my words in amazement.

Vestri - peeled his own face (...) and (...) (...).

No, what is peeling is a (...) chunk of dirt (...) that was sticking like a face.

After stripping the fake face shaped by the soil, there was the same artificial faceless face as the Agate Lamb doll, which I have seen many times before.

"What......!?

I didn't know your body was a doll too!

Such an idea, which naturally sprang up, was denied by the fact that even Norzuri, who was supposed to be in the same position, was stripped of his eyes and stunned.

"Kakaka, don't guide me. The real body is placed in the Fifth Labyrinth. This is only the first vessel of its kind, the material I've brought to serve as the nucleus of a virtual enemy."

Vestri laughed in a heartfelt and delightful voice, satisfied that me and Norzuri were just surprised to lose their hips.
