Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Episode One Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-one: As it is a dream (IV)

Midgard-Weharam was watching the Wolk lying on the regulator as he checked the information output from the regulator on a small terminal. The man-made weapon, covered in armor of a special metal called Spirit Alloy, looked at the ceiling with the same faceless expression as the phase. Demonic crystal stone eyes emitting pale light is proof that she is on startup. That means that she is receiving “specific wave light”, which is also proof that Setsuna is alive because the current source of “specific wave light” is Setsuna alone.

Wave light is what life forms emit. The light emitted by the Demonic Crystal Stone is no exaggeration when it comes to its reflection. The Midgards' study reveals that the principle of emission of demonic crystalline stones is a reflection on receiving wave light from the outside, and that demonic crystalline stones themselves do not emit wave light. However, if the power of light stored in the Demonic Crystal Stone is depleted, even the reflected light will cease to emit. In addition, the amount of light emitted varies depending on the type of Demon crystal stone, and the Black Demon crystal stone was chosen in the heart nucleus of the Demon crystal doll because it is also irresistible to move it without as much light as the Black Demon crystal stone. However, the wave light to emit the black demonic crystal stone remained unknown for a long time after the black demonic crystal stone was to be the nucleus of the heart.

The Demon Crystal Stone, commonly used in Demon Crystal lamps and popular throughout the continent, is the type of Demon Crystal Stone that the Midgards call the Green Demon Crystal Stone. This reacts and emits light not only to humans, but also to the wave light of various organisms. I guess the tolerances of wave light are wide. However, there is the difficulty that sensitivity is so faint that it does not emit light without physical contact, and that is where it differs so much from black demonic crystal stones. The black demon crystal stone emitted reflected light simply by measuring the "specific wave light” and activated the wolk. If the sensitivity of the black demon crystal stone were as faint as the green demon crystal stone, and so faint that physical contact was needed, the Midgards would have had to keep dreaming about Urk's activation.

Green demonic crystal stone with a faint sensitivity but reacting to the wave light of every organism. A black demonic crystal stone that is powerful in sensitivity but only responds to certain wave lights. In addition, there are blue demonic crystal stones that only react to the Imperial Demon's wave light, and white demonic crystal stones that do not react to any wave light.

Black demonic crystal stones were chosen in the heart nucleus of the demonic crystal doll, except because the wave light amount stored in the demonic crystal stone is vast compared to others and is suitable for long-term operations. Even if something like a demon crystal doll was activated with a green demon crystal stone, a single demon crystal stone would have made it impossible to operate for a long period of time. Like whether to keep it for a day or not.

In that regard, Urk, equipped with the Black Demon Crystal Stone as the heart nucleus, has already continued to operate without rest for more than six months. That is nothing short of the fact that the amount of wavelight enclosed in the black demonic crystal stone is huge compared to the green demonic crystal stone. And it would also be significant to have the owner of the "Specific Wave Light” nearby that activates the Black Demon Crystal Stone.

That means that if Setsuna dies, the "specific wave light” will be interrupted and the reflected light of the Black Devil's Crystal Stone will also subside, and the Wolk with the Black Devil's Crystal Stone as the heart nucleus - will also fall into disfunction.

Midgard speculates that that's why Urk has come to give Setuna's escort the highest priority. Whether it is an unconscious action, in other words, is it not an exaggeration when it comes to survival instincts in organisms?

Urk is not an organism.

Demon crystal doll.

A combat weapon created by one hand.

Though the exterior is made to look just like a human being and shaped as a beauty that can hardly be seen by anyone, its essence is completely different from that of a human being. Naturally. Originally, the Demon Crystal doll was developed as a weapon for conducting battles remotely. It was an unexpected event that the surgical transcription mechanism mounted on the Urk degenerated, thereby sprouting itself. The cause of the phenomenon, which we have no choice but to call a miracle, remains unknown. Sometimes it is thought that the enormous wave light supplied from the black demonic crystal stone has altered the surgical transcription mechanism - and so on - but it also does not leave the realm of delusion.

Anyway, Urk, who gained himself by an unexpected miracle, became an abiotic, yet living being.

The Midgards were also pleased with the results, which were very different from their original plans. It may not be reproducible. But even if we may or may not be able to reproduce Urk by investigating and studying it, there was no difference that the existence of a miracle called Urk was born.

Miracle.

There is nothing more than a miracle.

A soul dwelt in that which was created by one hand.

At the time, only Urk's self, his self-consciousness, was confirmed, and the presence or absence of emotions was unknown, but his self-expression made him feel the presence of his soul, and the Midgards recognized that his soul dwelt in Urk. She slammed various things into Urk and educated her to behave like a demonic crystal doll but also human because she believed in the possibility of her spirit growing.

In fact, she grew up.

At the very least, the current Urk was many times more human and richer in emotional expression than when he was at the Demonic Crystal Institute of Technology. From Midgard, it's incredible growth, perhaps enough to be called evolution. Most importantly, her emotional expressions are extremely subtle, and from what I don't know very well about her, they must be completely incomprehensible.

It is not too much to say that she is becoming aware that she is becoming emotionally rich because she is Midgard, Ulk's head of development and parent of her upbringing.

It wasn't until she came into contact with Setuna that she began to show her emotions, whether that was also something to do with her survival instincts.

In order for her to live, Setuna must be kept alive. As it stands, no other "specific wave light” has been found to react to the Black Demon Crystal Stone, so naturally. So aren't you instinctively trying to be liked by Setuna? That's what Midgard infers, but as far as he's concerned, it can be a guess he doesn't want you to hit.

For Midgard, Urk was one of his daughters.

Who wants to see their daughter flatter others in order to live?

I wanted to think that I had earned emotions with a purer feeling, and that possibility, again, was not unlikely.

"Midgard"

"What? Urk."

"As reported earlier, I had a dream"

Wolk was looking at this one. The light of the Magic Crystal falling from the beautiful eye is so cold, it doesn't make you feel emotional. Undeterred, somewhere inorganic, too, yes. I wasn't able to speak originally. Somehow it was able to pronounce itself along with its own acquisition, and the Midgards made the words remember with excitement. If we were to mass-produce a demonic crystal doll of the same kind as Urk, we would have to figure out not only her self, but also her means of speaking.

But Midgard can't help but acknowledge his emotions at the words and deeds of such an emotionless Urk.

"Setuna and the others say," The narrow space between dreams and the present, "but I didn't know the difference between dreams.

"Hmm."

"Besides, I am a Demon Crystal doll"

The Demon Crystal Doll says, "I don't dream -"

That's what Urk says.

The Midgards teach us what an event is called a dream. Seeing while one sleeps, fantasy. Hallucinations. Hallucinations. Fantasy shown by the brain. Some of them have no clapping, others are helpless and realistic. The Midgards explained those stories to her more than once, but they didn't tell her.

That would be so.

It was a borderless event for Urk.

Urk never sleeps. When the core is activated by specific wave light, it is Wolk who keeps moving until the signal of the specific wave light is interrupted. And if specific wave light is interrupted, it just stops functioning. Functional stoppage means that all functions of the Urk are stopped. The surgical transcription mechanism, which would be her brainchild, naturally ceases to move.

It's impossible to dream.

That's what she dreamed, he said.

"Demon Crystal Dolls Don't Dream..."

"Yes."

Urk nods small.

"But that one I saw wasn't real. The broken arm was back to normal, and there was no reason for the investigative team to deceive us."

"I mean, I dreamed, admit it"

"Yes, I just have to admit"

Urk tried to narrow his eyes. Human meshed emotional expression. I don't know whose influence it is, but I can't doubt it's one of the Setuna and the others.

"I must have dreamed."

She also reported on the contents of the dream. She doesn't hide anything from Midgard. Midgard could not hide his joy in the fact that he even told Setuna what he did not tell him, in the form of a report.

If you try to be her parent Midgard, Setuna was Urk's thinker and some kind of enemy. Regardless, Midgard is grateful to Setsuna and understands that Urk would not have woken up without Setsuna and that Urk's acquisition of emotions may have been postponed.

On top of that, Midgard admitted and hated himself for being mildly jealous of Setuna.

Urk, indisputably, favors Setuna.

That fact was a matter of joy for Midgard as a researcher, while at the same time, as a father Midgard-Weharam, he had to create a sinister surface.

Urk said he confronted Setuna in a dream he saw in the ruins.

It was also a confrontation with Setuna, who turned into a demonic crystal doll, apparently.

"If that's what I want, does that mean I want Setuna?"

"Probably, yeah"

It's bitter, but I just have to admit it.

It has always been so.

Urk clearly changed his attitude in front of Setuna and beyond. It would be trivial that no one else unrelated would know, but it was a change enough to convey it clearly to Midgard. Urk was desperate to be seen by him in front of Setuna.

He wants to like it.

"... I don't really know who I am"

"I don't think that's enough for now."

Midgard grinned as he stared at his lone daughter lying on the regulator.

"Same goes for humans. Isn't it just a handful of people or not, such as people who have a complete grasp of themselves? There's nothing I can't grasp better than what I am. Emotions are constantly shaking, not constant. Various external factors are intertwined there and reshaped. What the hell is with me? Self is. Not many people end their lives with those questions."

"Midgard too, is it?

"I know who I am, even if I look like this."

Midgard replied to his self-derision because he knows the fact that there is still nothing he can do about it, and he has a point of view.

"I see."

"Hmm?"

"So when you're with Midgard, you calm down"

When I saw it, I was stunned by the illusion that Urk was smiling softly. Regardless, there can be no such thing as a change in Urk's expression. It's a body made of spiritual alloy. It was impossible to be equipped with a mechanism that would allow the expression to change.

But the thoughts put into the words uttered by Urk did reach Midgard's heart, and he kept staring at Urk, nothing more.
