Volume 7 - Chapter 3 – Chat 4: Ninja Unit (2/2)

He had Reiko report about the current completion of the map, about the repulsion of devil beasts that had approached and the materials gathered from them.

When the meeting was over it was already late at night. Reiko at once returned back to Jin.

Using the Warp Gate, without any time loss she returned to the provincial city of Dogran. It had stopped raining.

“Welcome back, Elder Sister. This person was seeking Father’s bedroom so I captured them.”

Luna said and pointed at a man bound by rope. His face was swollen and he was unconscious. Reiko gave him a glance and then lost interest,

“Good work, Luna. I’ll handle the rest. You go back. Although it’s unfortunate you don’t get to talk with Father.”

“Yes, Elder Sister. Give Father my regards.”

And so Luna went back to Hourai Island. The caught man was left tied as is behind the lodging house.

The next day, Reiko tried talking to Jin about the SP. Then,

“Haha, I wanted to make something like that too. I suppose it’s pitiful to have you by yourself as my bodyguard at night, Reiko..”

No not at all, Reiko said, but Jin seemed to already have thought of an idea,

“Alright, tonight let’s quickly go back to the research laboratory to build them. …Ahh, I don’t have anyone to use as a reference for covert conduct, do I?”

Jin said and looked troubled so Reiko said,

“Oh, Father, if that’s the problem then I know just the right talent for it.”

“Eh?”

Reiko then told him about the man tied up and left behind the lodging house.

“Hmm, people like him came as I thought, huh. The SP looks to be necessary after all. I got it. I’ll have his behavioral patterns and such.”

He secretly went around to the back of the building where the man was still unconscious. That was convenient, so Jin used [Transfer Info] while the man was like that.

“[Transfer Info] Level 4.”

All at once he transcribed the knowledge of espionage activities, behavior, movements, and even organizational information to a Magi Crystal he held.

After analyzing it later, maybe he’d even get to know whence the man was dispatched from.

Furthermore it was coincidental, completely by chance, but in any case after yesterday’s pursuer’s failure their organization had dispatched their top-class man. Even though she was easily caught by Luna.

However, thanks to that Jin got rather, or should I say befittingly high-grade data on espionage to use in golems.

Night of the 23rd, rain.

In the lodging house for visitors of the provincial city Desir where the group was staying overnight.

In the middle of the night, just when the rain let up, Jin secretly snuck out of his room and headed towards the storehouse for carriages. Maybe because the organization was being vigilant after having their top-class agent beaten it looked like there were no suspicious people tonight.

Using the Warp Gate hidden inside the carriage Jin and Reiko teleported to Hourai island in an instant.

The time difference between Hourai Island and provincial city Desir appeared to be around three and a half hours. And that’s why over here it was also nighttime, but for golems there is no night or day.

“Welcome home, Father, Elder sister.”

Reiko’s assistant golems, Soleil and Luna greeted them.

“Ah, I’m home. I may be hasty, but are the preparations complete?”

The one who answered that was Laozi.

“My Lord, welcome home. Yes, the preparation of all kinds of materials is complete.”

“I see, thanks for your trouble.”

Jin said and moved to the research laboratory.

First he’d add a ManaCom function to Reiko. As the basic equipment was already finished, this was finished quickly.

The real performance was the SP.

On top of their features, as being as light as possible was good he made their skeletons out of hollowed Light Silver, and their exterior out of Light Silver too.

Now, what do about the appearance. I’ll have the surface colored black. That should do, Jin answered his own question in his head and nodded.

Male-type, or female-type. Adult or child.

Soon the answer came to him.

To have them be able to deal in any kind of setting, making all of them would be good.

It took that night and the next one for Jin’s personal ‘Hourai Island Security Police’, alias ‘Ninja Unit’ to be born.

There were ten members. Five varieties, two of each.

Two little girl-type golems same as Reiko. ‘Pensee’ and ‘Viola’.

‘Dahlia’ and ‘Kanna’ who had approximately the same figure as Elsa (however, their bosoms were a bit larger).

Adult female-types ‘Lily’ and ‘Rose’.

Standard adult male-types ‘Elm’ and ‘Ash’.

And finally the young boy-types ‘Pothos’ and ‘Heath’.

“Alright then, please take care of me.”

Jin faced the ‘Hourai Island SP’ he created and said.

“Yes, Father.”

They greeted him all at once.
