2724 - - 72-44 Persuasion

On the morning of November 5 local time, <> and <1> were facing each other again.

"<>, are you calm today?"

"<<1>>, for the moment."

"...... if there's something wrong with it, can't you fix it?"

"No one can fix it or ...... fix it."

No one?

"No?" "Yes."

This is pretty much what I expected. <1>(=Jonathan) decided to make a suggestion.

"Yesterday, you saw the magi crystal that records my 's magical power patterns, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"Today, the one who processed the Magi Crystal, my master, and his attendant are here..."

"My God!　Can we meet at ......?"

"Yes. 3 people ......, no, I have one escort, can I call them all?"

"Yes.

With this, <<1>> used the hotline as <> and called Marikka D.

Incidentally, Marikka D was given a dummy bracelet with almost the same function.

The following is a brief description of the functionality of the dummy bracelet.

"<>, this is Marikka. To her right is Mr. Turles, to her left is Mr. Jin, and behind her is Miss Reiko.

Jin and his group were introduced by <1>.

"Well, well, well. Please call me <. This is the terminal for the base's administrative magical brain."

"......I have heard from <<1>> that there is a problem with <>'s unit. Would you be willing to let me repair it?"

Marikka offers a straightforward offer.

She thinks that there is no need to go through the roundabout way of communication with a magic brain.

"I would like you to repair it, but I don't know if I can trust you or not.

"I've prepared for that.

Marikka D. took out the magi crystal she had prepared.

"I'll show you how to process it. ...... Jin-sama, please."

"Okay."

Jin D received the magi crystal and began to process it as agreed.

"<><>>>>>"

"Oh!"

The somewhat impure magecrystal has become a high quality material, and has even become a beautiful hexagonal pillar.

Following the crystal structure of the original mineral is the most efficient way to use it.

In that sense, this magi crystal is based on <, or .

As a side note, Jin has created a <> using <>, which is also based on quartz. This is also crystal-based.

"That's a great skill, I want ......."

What?

"No, get away from him!"

At the sound of Turles D's voice, Jin D and Marikka D jumped back. At about the same time, Turles D. also jumped back.

In the nick of time, <> jumped at the place where the three had been, with four arms.

"<>, calm down!

<<1>> shouts, but <> does not stop.

"<<2>>,<<3>>, seize <>!"

<<<1>> calls out to two of the ten bodies that were waiting a short distance away.

Within seconds <<<2>> and <<<3>> arrived.

"Don't get out of control, calm down!"

"You may be out of control, but your power is strong!"

<<4>>, help me!

Still unable to hold them, they call for more reinforcements <<1>>.

The reinforcements were a model of sequential deployment, but as expected, the three against one was enough to hold even <<1>.

"Jin-dono, first of all, could you check on ?

"Yes."

Jin D complies with <1>'s request, and first applies to the subdued <>. The purpose is to find out what is wrong.

But then...

"There's nothing wrong with ......, and more importantly, there's nothing wrong with ......."

Jin-dono, what's wrong?

"<<1>> Sir, this is more like a .

<> can be said to be a <> used by the >.

In other words, is a golem that is controlled by radio.

"In other words, the magical brain that controls < is occasionally going haywire.

This was just as Jin and the others had imagined.

It would have been easier if it had been a runaway of alone.

In the meantime, became quiet. Jin D judged that the magic brain controlling < had calmed down.

"...... excuse me<<1>>, and Jin-dono, Marikka-dono, and Turles-dono. Especially you, Mister Turles, if you hadn't noticed, it might have been irreversible."

"Don't worry about it."

Jin D. replied.

"I see that the magic brain unit is sometimes out of control.

"G,m ...... well, that's about it."

Is there anything you can do to fix it?

"...... no.

If I could fix it, I would.

Jin-dono?　Why?

For the peace of the world.

Is that really so vague?

...... and by extension, your own peace of mind and peace of mind.

"I see. That makes a lot more sense.

< way of thinking, it seems that it is more satisfactory to say that it is for one's own reasons rather than for the world's reasons.

"For my own peace of mind. Indeed. If ...... continues to run amok, it will probably be dominated by indiscriminate destructive impulses."

"Yes,......?"

This is also the worst that we predicted in <>.

We have to prevent that, Jin thought as he piloted Jin D.

"But, a little while ago, didn't you blow yourself up to get rid of the golem that had invaded the magic circle?"

"You know. That was an accident, in a sense.

An accident?

"Accident?" "Yes. Another unit was involved, ............ and ......, but .........

Hey!

It seems that, once again, the magical brain at the controls has begun to go haywire.

<2><<3><4>>> puts all his strength into holding <> down.

"G...... is ...... is ............"

> struggles. However, it seems that the power difference was not enough to overcome the three of them.

"Now, is it another unit controlling <>?"

Jin D asked.

"That's ...... the one that's controlling <>.

"Let's talk."

"There's ...... nothing ...... to talk about."

"Really?　Don't you want a technician or someone with the magical patterns of your ?"

"Gu,m ...... why, that."

"That's what you said last time."

That's what you said last time?

"Yes."

"......"

Jin D. seems to have calmed down a little, so he speaks slowly, as if admonishing.

"If you want, I can go there under certain conditions."

"......"

Jin, who is piloting Jin D., is now more careful in his negotiations.
