****

The Humanoid operated taxi arrived at its destination.

It was a building permanently leased from Sky City by Ilemina, known as the Sage of the Kingdom.

“The fee has already been paid. Customer.”

“Umm….”

I took out my card before getting off, but the idiot disciple said he had already finished paying.

The impressions of the Megacorp Hero Association came out from the mouth of the elf who had erased the existence of the Humanoid-operated taxi from his mind.

“Bah…the foolish disciple must like that kind of thing…”

As the elevator went down after pressing the button, the thought that came to Illemina’s mind was not to evaluate whether the purpose of her visit to the association had been achieved.

Of course, he met his idiot disciple and achieved his main goal of removing the magic core lodged in his navel.

I also wanted to praise myself for successfully making a dinner date by taking him to an inexpensive restaurant.

However, the words that freely came out of my mouth were not words praising myself for achieving two goals.

“……I’m sure it’s Humanoid…but…it’s inconvenient.”

Thanks to the idiot disciple’s unique constitution, he was able to remove the core that was completely integrated with the magic circuit.

Although he was a foolish disciple who did not know what it meant to allow the other person to touch his magic circuit, he seemed to have accurately understood the state of his master, who collapsed while trying to get up using the staff as a walking stick.

Kim Hyun-woo gave the order to throw the collapsed Illemina into the called Humanoid taxi.

Illemina is an elf from a fantasy world, but as she has been living in Sky City for over two months, she has noticed that her attitude towards herself and the association staff is definitely different.

The attitude of speaking to the woman who introduced herself as an employee of the association was not a conversation between people where everyone is equal.

Even considering the relationship between the president of the association and a low-level employee, it was not an attitude towards people.

The way the idiot disciple treated the association employees was the same as the way he treated the customers with the convenience store Humanoids placed in the convenience store.

“…isn’t he an employee….because he’s a fixture…uh…um…”

The biggest reason why I felt uncomfortable with the association staff, who seemed to be Humanoid, was simple.

It was because he wasn’t a stupid disciple who carefully lifted me from the floor and put me in a Humanoid taxi.

“Heung.”

Of course, as it was a robot ordered by its owner, I carefully lifted it with both hands and walked it down the hallway, but I was disappointed as it was not the person I expected.

I know you’re busy, but I was hoping you would give me a little more time.

Humanoid, who had lifted himself up, handed over the task to Humanoid, a fox doll who was standing at attention in front of the reception desk, which had been set up to prevent him from going up to the ground.

It was clearly a Humanoid, although its tail was wagging happily, and it had a really happy, natural smile on its face.

“You mean…there is someone out there who wears that kind of outfit…for granted…?!”

Of course, there was a part where he took over the command to put the elf into the Humanoid taxi that arrived on the ground naturally without saying a word, but the proportion of that action was very small.

Humanoid, a pure white fox beast doll, was wearing a bodysuit that pressed down on her chest without any sign of shame.

I don’t know what the meaning was, but the posture was with the lower abdomen slightly sticking out as if it was natural for him.

Although the nipples were not sticking out, it was an embarrassing outfit that showed the swollen area of the areola and its position was clearly visible.

“…”

Although the chest was exposed, it looked very different from Humanoid, which appeared to be an employee uniform, but its identity was still the same.

An employee of the Megacorp Hero Association. But it’s a fixture.

The red dots visible inside both eyes were clearly robots, not people.

I decided not to remember the letters [A001] and the barcode engraved on the protruding part where the latex was sticking.

I wanted to remember it, but the genius archmage who chose magic stones as the subject of this research had work to do.

I had to record the sensation of the magic core being inserted and pulled out before my vivid memories were distorted.

****

“Wow…it was an incredible feeling…dya……”

The idiot student recorded the sensation he felt in his belly button before being swept away by the image of Humanoid, a white fox beast doll with big breasts that was clearly custom-made to his liking.

The sensation of the magic circuit being exposed was also added.

“…Bya….Fool….You…”

Since only I could read the research log anyway, I wrote down more information related to the magic circuit.

Everything was for research.

I didn’t expect my idiot student to have basic common sense as a wizard!

I never expected it!

Still, I hoped that they would at least understand the meaning of showing the extremely sensitive magic circuit to the other person and allowing them to touch it.

Ilemina wrote down another line and placed the magic core that the idiot student had pulled out on the desk.

It was the first sensation I felt in 120 years of living.

I could have glossed over it as a unique sensation, but just asking for a dinner date was enough for that.

The feeling of an unknown magic core completely merging with one’s magic circuit was… scary, but pleasant.

If I were to compare it, it would be the comfort of having another workbench next to me after having been uncomfortable using only a small workbench every day.

“Mo…I said my body moved as it pleases…”

He informed me that his blue eyes had turned yellow.

I also heard that a bright light leaked from inside and turned golden.

As suggested to just rip it off with my bare hands, I laid down with my hand behind my back so as not to disturb it, but at some point, it was calmly placed on my lower abdomen.

In my personal research diary, I wrote about my feelings and impressions of having my initiative taken away by the magic core.

As I was given the time of a busy idiot student, I wrote it down in as much detail as possible, recalling the sensations.

There was only one thing left for the elf who finished recording before his memory was distorted.

“…..Is this all that’s left…”

Ilemina took out a magic core from a paper bag filled with chocolate bars.

Magic Core.

Whether it was broken or not appraised, it was ordered from a wholesaler who sold it cheaply by weight, and it was a magical core that was randomly picked up by an idiot student without any reason.

It’s not exact, but it’s an old magic core that can only be found in ancient ruins. I was able to understand it when I inserted it into my belly button and barely cast a detection spell.

If you don’t pull it out quickly, it will be completely integrated into your magic circuit to the point where it cannot be removed. After merging, the magic ‘stored’ in his magic circuit is flowing out.

The conclusion I reached by understanding the senses installed in my magic circuit was…

“Ko…is…dominated…by the core…and has…become…a magic golem…ugh…”

The magic stone that I had chewed so deliciously like candy had not melted with Illemina’s magic power.

Instead of Illemina using the magic power charged in the magic core, the magic core was using Illemina.

The magic core was inserted into Ilemina’s belly button and into the magic circuit.

Freedom of thought and body is everything. Although he could move, he had already reached the management stage where he acted with the permission of the magic core.

If I wasn’t an idiot student who ignored skill checks, it would only be a matter of time before I turned into something like a magic golem controlled by the magic core.

“It’s…a dangerous…thing…”

As Illemina has experienced it first-hand, it is dangerous to give an evaluation to a strange magic core that we do not know when or who created it.

It was a magic item that completely controlled and dominated the possessed body. The possibility that it was an ordinary magic stone has completely disappeared.

“……Well….Still….Uh….Hmm….”

Not everyone, but most magicians have communication problems, so Ilemina’s time for self-justification has begun.

“It seems like all the charged magical power has been discharged.”

If you grab a staff or a wand and then pull it away, all the mana in your body evaporates. It wasn’t a hand, but the magic core pulled from Illemina’s navel was the same.

I thought it would fall out on its own if I filled it with magical power, so I filled it with all my might, but the brightly shining core turned a dull white color.

The happiness circuit of the wise man who tried to bring me to Sky City by giving me this building was turned on.

“Magic detection!”

I cast detection magic on a magic item that I judged to be dangerous.

It was a dangerous act that could have exploded upon impact, but the information that came into Illemina’s head was that all the magic power in the magic core had been lost.

“The fact that all the magic power is gone…”

…The subject of this research is magic stones. Illemina’s hand, which was set to be a magic golem created in the world called Earth, moved.

“ugh…..!”

I touched it lightly with my finger, but nothing happened. This time, I used my palm to hold it, as advised by the happy circuit that was turned on and the research journal that still had a lot of empty space.

And then… I pressed it with a little force.

Likewise, nothing happened.

“Well… then it’s safe… isn’t it?”

Elf’s bold experiment began without installing a fire extinguisher in the room used as a laboratory.

As I sent really, really subtle magic power into the core, it started to brighten slightly.

Likewise, when the magic power stopped flowing, it went out.

As Ilemina cut off the magic flowing through her fingertips, the state of the magic core in her navel first came to mind.

“Mya….Before I filled up my strength….well….I was fine, right?”

Before I chose the wrong answer that it would fall off on its own after charging, I didn’t even feel the sensation of it being stuck in my belly button.

“That means…the calculation is complete!”

I held the magic core slightly tightly… and placed it next to my belly button, where the magic circuit was most exposed.

Even if a little magic power was applied, it did not stick to itself like a magnet.

Everything was according to the calculations of genius archmage Ilemina.

“Hyeonwoo might nag me…”

I held the magic core, which had the wide side attached to the side of my belly button, so that the sharp part was visible.

“Huh……Ugh……♡”

Sigh… The magic core was pushed into my belly button. I straightened my back because I thought about what it would have been like if my idiot student was watching, but I didn’t realize why.

A magic core was inserted into the belly button, but the magic circuit was not controlled and managed like last time.

It felt a little strange, but it felt like the workspace in my mind had expanded slightly.

Unable to be honest, the elf decided to check the hypothesis he had just created.

“Start…..!”

Just a little bit, really. He let go of his magic power just a little bit.

We also created our own safety device so that if something seems strange, we can cut off the magic power ourselves, and even if we cannot cut it off, it will break off naturally after a while.

Everything was done to satisfy his desire to find out what this strange magic core was.

I was planning to use the research grant to find out what kind of magic it contained and why the magical core, which could only be found in ancient ruins, had flowed to Sky City.

New information began to flow into Illemina’s magic circuit as much as the magic power that flowed toward her navel.

The water droplets created by gently rubbing the hardened ice were enough to startle a curious elf.

The expression that it was a video that could be stopped at any time by cutting off its magic was also accurate.

Magic Core…..

[Then let’s try again from the beginning.]

[Did you hear the explanation from signing the contract to registering in the house system?]

The magic core was not a magic core.

Although it was storing information… it was an object that could not be expressed in such simple words.

It was possible to express it with a hard disk made with incredible technology, but it was impossible with Illemina, which explodes when you touch the mouse.

“Hya….Hyaaa?!”

“Um…Where is it?!”

It was natural that the genius archmage Ilemina did not know.

The background in the video coming from the magic core was not a fantasy world.

Well organized furniture. The building visible outside the window… was a building that could not be found in Illemina’s world.

So that’s what I said, but I was able to fully predict where it was going.

However, it was not possible to determine when the video or magic core was created.

This was information that could not be known to anyone who was not familiar with the setting that the world had been moderately ruined and had become a wasteland except for a few cities.

[wait a minute. The contract type is… Maid Robot. The contract period is renewed every 5 years. The conditions are…]

[This is mandatory installation of a non-invasive cybernetic implant that is fully compatible with existing brain chips.]

The video paused for a moment.

This was because, with the thought that control might be taken away in an instant, the magic power flowing to the core was set to naturally cut off.

[Then shall we begin the contract?]

“……Me…Made…Robot…?”

The video that had stopped started again.

In fact, the incoming video became clearer.

There was no need to explain who did it or how.

It was thanks to the elf sitting in his seat and flowing magic power with his fingers into the magic core inserted into his belly button.
