at the headquarters of the Union of Mages in the Imperial Capital of Katlanda.
"Union leader, excuse me.
A man in white comes into the union chief's office.
"You're the director of the lab... it's almost lunch... what's up?
A well-width man sitting in a heavy chair and having tea listens back.
"Yes.
Earlier there was a report from an experimental unit.
The 106th will be in the final exam.
"Do it... you're six months behind in process.
... showed His Royal Highness Prince Chico No. 102 in the meantime.
I was delighted.
The union head squeaks.
"102... you're a self-walking type with no ability to attack.
"Ha... originally if this one gave the order, I would have created a doll to act on later..."
"Union President, that is the next phase and I have said it many times.
As it stands, it can only be remotely operated by two magicians.
"That's also about a 300m radius of operation...
Well, not likely enough on the battlefield... but your initial goal was too high?
"No, we also believe that the idea itself is not wrong, but the first step is how far the specifications can be achieved with the current technology.
So now we're in the early stages.
Autonomous walking is a research challenge after this, isn't it?
"Huh... can you see me while I'm alive?
"We work hard with our personnel.
"Oh, I know where it is.
So, today's your final exam... you sure it was near East Town?
"Yes.
It means attacking the home of a bandit.
This is the final exam with gear for the fight.
"Well... I guess he's really a bandit, huh?
"That's what I'm asking... you're a little worried.
Was he the son of a 3rd Army general... he'd be better at directing without that early one, too.
Why is that better?
"That's all I got..."
Says the union president as he looks in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
"... is that right?
You just hope it goes well.
"Ah."
The union director and the director spoke with a sigh.
------------------------
Takeo and the others are coming to the grain store and looking in pieces.
Takeo was solidifying as he looked at a bottle containing a certain grain.
"Master, what is it?
Gina finds such a Takeo and calls out to him.
"Gina... do you know what this is?
"... is it a state of... rice?
Takeo is shocked by Gina's words.
"Dj... Mr. Gina?... Is this what you call rice?
Takeo listens unexpectedly, trembling with reverence.
"Huh?... Yeah, it's a crop of forest fairy (elf) country southwest of the Demon King kingdom.
What's this exclusive crop of elves doing here?
Gina conceives.
"Huh?... southwest of the demonic kingdom?... Elves are said to be in the eastern woods of the demonic kingdom, and fairies are near it, too...
Mia, what do you say?
"Yes. Lord, you're right. Our home is on the eastern side of the demonic kingdom.
Elf country should have been next door too... "
I come up with a face out of my pocket so Mia can't see anyone else.
"Yeah, Elf's home country is southeast of the Royal Castle.
But the branches live in the southwest.
If it's the kingdom of Azpur... let's get your father.
Gina's coming for the Victors.
"I've never heard of it before.
Meyer can't hide the surprise either.
"Even in Wangdu, with the east side?
Takeo confirms.
"Yes. Elves and fairies are demons who are supposed to be east of the Demon Kingdom and we won't be able to meet.
Thanks to Lord Mia, I am grateful to see a fairy who will not be able to see me for the rest of his life.
Meyer says.
"I see.
So, Victor, what do you say to Gina?
"Yes. Lord, Gina is right. An elf branch is southwest of the demonic kingdom.
Speaking in the Kingdom of Azpur, I live on the opposite side of the Temple Count and across the forest.
"Can we go through the woods to see each other?
Takeo asks Victor.
"No, I think that forest is difficult.
You have a little troublemaker... who doesn't belong to the Demon Kingdom.
"The troublemaker? Is it a demon?
Meyer listens.
"That forest is a swarm of worms and slimes.
There shouldn't be many worms attacking other races... but you have a strong sense of your territory.
Maybe if you put him in the territory, he'll attack you without question.
Besides, the elves themselves are basically not interested besides themselves, are they?
Pretty exclusive.
"I see... maybe you should give up.
Takeo roars with his arms around him.
"Is your husband in need of an elf?
"You want me to sell this rice.
"Do you want rice?
"Yeah.
I don't know what kind of rice... but at least if you can cook rice, you'll double the number of dishes right now.
"" "" Huh!?
Aside from Takeo, I'm surprised.
"No... we'll be able to do some sweets... and I'd like to have a prototype of seasoning.
If it goes well, it's about to double... "
Takeo starts to come up with ideas.
"" "" "Let's put a crossing on it somehow!
The opinions of everyone on the spot are unified.
"That's also since you returned to Elvis territory.
Takeo laughs bitterly.
"" "" Yes!
Everyone says with a glitter on their face.
"And yes. I need to ask how much is in stock and buy it up.
Takeo started looking for clerks.
