Magicraft Meister Part 3

"What?　Manon is an automata?

At the meeting after breakfast the next day, I told them who Manon really was, as we had agreed, and as expected, the Prince Niestro Cirillo Jagus was astonished.

"Yes. I am the third generation of Magecraft Meister, an automata created by Master Gin.

"Ummm ......, I don't believe it."

The Prince stared at Manon intently.

"......I really don't understand. May I ...... touch your arm?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Manon stepped forward and gave his right arm to the king.

The king rubbed and picked at his arm,

I don't know. You are not carrying ...... me, are you?"

"No, my lord. How about this for ......?"

Manon powers up to the lowest level of combat mode.

"Oh, oh?

As he does so, his arms become as hard as steel. It's radically different from when a human exerts force.

"Ummm...umm......... it's not called a prosthetic arm, is it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Manon offers her left arm as well,

"Your Majesty, please step back!"

one of the knights of the Kingsguard intervened between the Prince and Manon.

"If this woman is an automaton, she might even be able to harm the king right here and now!

Indeed, he was right.

Manon was able to kill not only the king but all the people in this room in less than 5 seconds yesterday and now.

No, <> may not be correct. More precisely, <>.

They can do it, but they do not do it, or, in fact, they <> do it.

It is forbidden for manon to act indiscriminately and violently.

Jin, the creator, does not want such a thing.

If he had, this planet would have been under his control 400 years ago.

It is still the same today. Jin does not want to rule the world by force.

And this was something that the noble king Niestro Cirilo Jagus did not understand at all.

"No, I wouldn't."

At the risk of going off on a tangent, Jin knows about the <3 principles of robots> from his knowledge of manga and novels.

In other words, they are: do no harm to humans, obey given commands, and protect oneself as long as one does not violate the preceding paragraph (some parts omitted), and such things are clearly stated in the <> of golems and automata.

"...... So, what are you doing?"

The king asked Manon and Gaju Tsuga what his intentions were in coming out as an automata.

"No, I have no other intention. No, I have no other intention. I am just telling you the truth. I was just telling you the truth. ...... Yesterday, you seemed to be interested in the Magecraft Meister," he said.

"Hmmm, I see. If ......, could you satisfy that interest a little more?"

"What kind of ...... is that?"

"Well, I understand that <> can create human-like automata. Now I'd like to know how strong these automata are."

Before we could say anything else, the king offered us a mock battle.

* * * *

The story of the mock battle between the battle golem of the Duchy of Jagus and Manon went very smoothly.

"......Well, here is our battle golem."

The officials had gathered at the training ground in the royal castle.

Three battle golems were also prepared. They were unarmed.

Manon, on the other hand, is dressed in a jersey-like top and bottom that he brought with him.

"One is a combat golem developed by our country. The other is a combat golem purchased from a certain country. The last one is a battle golem taken from the Principality of Norway.

The golem developed by the Principality of Jagus might have looked familiar to Jin.

What was said to be a combat golem purchased from a certain country was a general-purpose golem made by the Shoro Empire.

And the one that he had retrieved from the Principality of Norway was indeed very similar to the one that he had seen in the Principality of Norway the other day.

"Now, Manon, which one would you like to have a mock battle with?　Any of them will do.

said Prince Niestro Cirillo Jagus, leaning forward on a hastily constructed podium in the training ground.

"...... will you allow me to choose?"

"At least that much."

Then Manon answered.

"All of you, then."

"What?

So I said I would deal with all three of them at the same time.

The king's face twisted,

"You said it, didn't you?　Don't complain if ...... they break it, will you?"

"Of course not, sir."

"......All right, we will now have a mock battle between Manon, an automaton made by the Magecraft Meister, and three of our battle golems!　It will end when one of them is incapacitated!"

Hearing this, Fionn Fiasse let out a cry of surprise.

"What?

But the king kept a cool face.

"Manon has chosen your opponent. I'm here to set the rules for the mock battle.

Before Fiona Fierce could say anything, the mock battle was underway.

"Then, let's begin!

The first to move was the golem that had been captured from the Principality of Norway.

It stepped forward at once and tackled Manon.

Manon, however, dodged it by dodging to the side.

Then, a battle golem purchased from another country attacked.

The golem was the heaviest of the three, but it moved quickly. Manon takes the golem's right arm, twists it, and throws it away. This is the <>, a martial art of the Shoro Empire.

The golem, which was supposed to be thrown, takes a catch, rolls on the ground three times, and gets up as if nothing happened.

(......It seems that the golem was made in the Shoro Empire, after all.)

Manon decided that the Shoro Empire's martial arts had not been the decisive factor.

He threw the second golem away, and the combat golem of the Duchy of Jagus leaped at him, aiming at the gap where Manon's posture was slightly broken.

Manon quickly dodged it by rolling over onto his back.

He then kicked the golem as it flew past him, as if thrusting up from below.

It was not a very strong kick, but it would have been a different story if it had hit him while he was in the air. Unable to recover from its broken position, the battle golem of the Principality of Jagus rolled on the ground of the training ground.

On the other hand, the battle golem from the Principality of Norway succeeds in capturing Manon, who is completely out of position. It holds him down in a pinion.

Then, a battle golem purchased from another country approaches to destroy Manon.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Gaju Tsuga and his group watched the mock battle with trepidation.

They shouted with delight when Manon threw his opponent's golem away with a <, and they watched in awe when he kicked away the battle golem of the Duchy of Jagus.

But when he saw Manon being pinned down by the battle golem he had taken from the Principality of Norway, and then saw the battle golem he had purchased from another country approaching Manon, he couldn't help but look away .......

"Such a hand ......!"

Gaju Tsuga exclaimed.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Manon kicked the ground, and the man was free.

Manon kicked the ground and, with his upper body pinned, delivered a horizontal kick to the oncoming battle golem.

Since the upper half of his body is fixed to the battle golem that he has captured from the Principality of Norway, there is no weight difference in this case. No, since it was Manon plus the battle golem taken from the Principality of Norway, the battle golem purchased from another country was lighter than Manon's golem, and it was blown away by Manon's kick by about 5 meters.
