Volume 6 - Chapter 30 – Wrap-up (1/2)

06-30 Wrap-up

“But King, while this place seems to be sorted out one way or another, I think there still are golems rioting elsewhere inside the royal palace. Without cleaning them up this turmoil won’t end.”

The Prime Minister Galueri said.

“Hmm, it is as you say. That being the case, We shall leave the handling hereafter to you and the Minister of Defense.”

“Yes.”

The Prime Minister Galueri bowed, and turned towards the Minister of Defense Judol, whose painful-looking broken arm had a splint.

“Judol, even though you’re wounded you’re still the Minister of Defense of our country. You’ll come, right?”

“Of course I’ll come with you.”

Judol said and stood up.

Kelly, the commanding officer of the Imperial Guard knight troops said,

“You four over there, go accompany them as guards.”

And so the four relatively lightly injured knights followed the ministers.

“Schwarz Ritter, you go with them too. After escorting them, come back.”

“Ja!”

Reinhardt also had Schwarz Ritter accompany them just in case.

“Hmm, the arm, it…”

While being protected by Reiko, Jin looked for Lotte’s parts.

“Oh, found it.”

The lost right arm was discovered. Both the parts from the elbow to the fingertips and to the shoulder.

“Alright, Lotte, lie down there.”

“Yes, Father.”

Since there wasn’t a workbench or anything of the like, the tables left in one piece were lined up and Lotte lay down on them.

“[Standstill].”

Jin had Lotte go into suspension temporarily. He then began to first connect the right arm.

Lotte’s steel endoskeleton had Magical Muscles. And her exterior was bronze.

As the Magical Muscles were considerably damaged, he couldn’t repair them more than to the extent of somehow enabling normal movements.

“Ooh, so Lotte’s structure was like that.”

Prince Ernest said something akin to admiration while peeking from the side.

“Your Highness, are you interested in the makeup of golems?”

Jin asked, and,

“Yes, I do! I’ll make a golem myself too when I’m a little older!”,

The prince answered innocently.

The surface dents and scratches could be mended with Craft Magic.

As the Mana of the Mana Tank was running rather low, he refilled it in advance.

“Jin, isn’t this Lotte’s finger?”

From nearby, Beana brought an object like one of Lotte’s fingers.

“Y-you’re…”

“?”

Seeing Beana like that, Prince Ernest was lost for words and went stiff.

“Your highness?”

Jin thought it was strange and he called out for him, but suddenly the prince took Beana’s hand and said,

“You! Your name is?”

“It’s B-Beana.”

Beana gave her name while taken aback and not knowing what’s what. Still holding confused Beana’s hand, the prince said,

“Beana, huh! What a good name! Hey Beana, won’t you become my bride?”

“Eeeeeeeh!!”

Suddenly a preposterous suggestion was made.

“I fancied you at first sight! Because you look exactly like Lotte!”

Maybe this could still be called the suspension bridge effect, as the prince seemed to have fallen in love at first sight with Beana, the model for Lotte who the prince got an interest in after her protecting him from danger.

Although he was just barely 13, so it wasn’t certain to what extend he understood what he was asking.

“I cannot allow that, Your Highness!”
