He pressed the button for first floor again, restarting the stopped elevator. Looking on, Marie let out a low growl of a laugh.

“Very well, you feeble-minded political crooks! Pull on others’ feet as much as you’d like. Taking away even that last privilege of wretched creatures who can’t do anything else would simply be too pitiful, after all!”

“...This is hopeless,” sighed Halter. Marie ignored him and furrowed her eyebrows.

“—Think, Marie. There should be something. Some way to break out of this shitty situation.” She pinched her chin and licked her lips as she mulled the situation over.

The military won’t stop. Meister Guild can no longer be counted on, either. It’s probably impossible to hope for a political resolution at this point. At this point, evacuating the residents would also be impossible. In that case, there’s no option left but to finish the repairs before the city is purged.

Well then, what are the obstacles to that option?

There’s no time. OK. There’s nothing I can do about that at this point.

In that case, let’s think it over: Can I finish the repairs to the city in the eight hours left?

Negative. Realistically speaking, it’s impossible. Then, what if I change the method? As long as the point of malfunction is located, can the repair work itself be finished within the time limit? Affirmative. However, I need a way to put that into practice—a method to promptly locate the point of malfunction.

“Think, Marie. It should be there. There should be some way!”

...Of course, no matter how much she racked her brains, no such method came to mind.

Even though they were a gathering of the most outstanding staff and equipment in the world, they still weren’t magicians.

Some things are impossible. One must acknowledge that—however, but, even so.

“For something to be ‘impossible’ because of those imbeciles’ meddling is utterly unacceptable!”

The elevator arrived at the first floor, and the door slowly opened.

Let’s continue thinking about this in the car, Marie thought as she lifted her head.

Just then—

She saw a face that she very much recognized before her.

“——”

“Say, RyuZU. Is it really fine for us to stay in a place like this?”

“Master Naoto, that flea-sized modesty of yours may be a virtue, but may I suggest that you act with a little more dignity and composure befitting of being my master?”

It was a duo of a short, headphone-wearing boy and a girl with beautiful silver hair.

She had no recollection of the boy. The girl was the problem.

Marie knew the face of that girl well. She had seen that girl’s face many times over since she was a kid. More specifically, it was the face that had slept in her family’s treasure house. Since Marie had become a Meister, she would bring her out to the worksites, and whenever she had spare time, she would challenge herself to fix her and make her move once more.

“A-, A-, Ah...”

“Hm...?”

“Is something the matter, Master Naoto?”

A perplexed face turned toward her.

The stunningly beautiful girl—or rather, automaton, was unmistakably operating.
