Golden Experience

Wikins Federation.

It is the name of a country of mankind that is fighting forces of demons in the Southern Continent.

The Wikings are under military pressure from further south of the country by the Euk Empire, home to the Wesen. This is why there was no Beast at the outpost.

In other words, on this continent, beasts are enemies of other humans.

These things are, of course, common knowledge on this continent. I struggled to hear it spontaneously, but Lyla was confident in interpersonal negotiation.

For example, I did this kind of listening.

"─ ─ But everyone in the army must be in trouble. You don't have to worry only about fighting demons...."

As for Lyla, she wanted to hear about non-combat issues, such as operational problems and costs of the Armored Beast Rider.

In most jobs, there is not one problem that bothers the person in charge.

If you listen in this way, people who are asked will remember and talk about other issues on their own.

Especially if you're from the staff. You must be suffering from a variety of problems every day.

"Oh, it's about the southern Euk Empire. Yes, you're right. Rather, because those Beasts attacked us, we were forced to move north... That's why most of the land we've developed has now been taken by demons, and we on the front have to work harder to do something about it."

However, the answer returned was diagonally higher than expected.

Even though it is a state of war that cannot be said to dominate the demon opponent, it seems that humans are militarily at odds with the Wesen.

Rather than a double-sided operation, this is the same as being pinched.

It looks like we're doomed to die if we leave it alone.

"I wish even a fraction of that vast sea of trees could be divided into humans... Even if they're demons, they can't help it."

Lyla thought, oh, no.

The vast sea of trees is not so vast.

The sea of trees lying in the east and west is indeed wide, but its thickness is not significant.

When we dive underground in Bechmos, it's probably only about half the thickness of Portley-kingdom.

It is only natural that the devils should resist.

For them, not even a fraction of them can afford to share it with mankind.

From this narrative, it seems that humans do not know that there is a real ocean just beyond that tree sea.

Even if they destroy the demons and get the Tree Sea realm, it is visible that they will all be crushed by the forces of the Wesen Euk Empire. With the ocean behind you, you can't run any further.

Anyway, this is how Lyla learns about the Southern Continent.

Ambiguous watering of another topic based on information you know.

The person who is going to talk about the minimum information on the assumption that it is shared is willing to supplement the ambiguous part and explain it to me.

While Lyla was staying at the outpost, the chief interlocutor was the young man in the staff, but he grew exhausted day by day.

That's because the Captain, who would normally be back soon, won't be back for long. The young man did not divulge the fact to Lyla, but Lyla knows better than anyone that the captain will not return.

Of course, in the meantime, Lyla's treatment remained floating in space.

Although it is held as a guest, it is not something I would like to do otherwise.

It was necessary to get the dinosaur type, but it might not have been good to get rid of it.

No, normally, who would think that the base's Supreme Commander would go to the enemy by himself?

It was obvious from the eavesdropped conversation with the young lady that the Elf was captain, but I didn't think she was the base's chief commander at that time. Lyla is not bad.

But anyway, there's nothing to gain if you keep blurring at this base.

In the meantime, you may want to destroy the base, root out the deployed Armor Beast Rider, and go to another base.

I knew that if I insisted that I was Miss Acragio's daughter, I would be able to handle it.

That's all I have to do next time.

"─ ─ Well, if the captain seems busy, tell me where my mother might be, and I'll be on my way alone."

Even if I say that I will destroy it, I am a companion who has taken care of me for a few days. You had better not say hello at all.

And if this young man is a junior commander, we should be able to get rid of this young man first and aim for chaos in the chain of command. I don't want you to resist uselessly if possible. It is an armored beast rider. I don't want you to imitate anything that you destroy with Lila's hands.

"... no, that's exactly what it is. You may not be attacked by demons while you're on the move, and there are areas where monsters are common, even if they're not demons.

But I'm not going to keep Mr Octavia tied to this base, and I'll write you a letter of introduction, so why don't you take it to the capital? I will escort the soldiers and the Armored Beast Cavalry. "

Dr. Acrazio appears to be in the capital of the Federation of Wikings.

I don't want you to send it to me.

I decided not to destroy this base.

Destroying them and stealing their roots is not something we have to do at this base.

I don't care what the capital is.

I didn't think so, but the guard soldier was one of his sentries someday.

He ran for office.

And apart from him, there was a woman who was the pilot of the Armored Beast. The armored beast rider is cat-shaped or tiger-shaped. Cats have long fangs.

The choice of a female pilot would have been due to her hesitation to leave her alone with a man soldier of color.

That said, while the female soldier was riding on the armored beast horse, it was inevitable to be alone with the male soldier in the room of the rider, which was like a carriage being carried by the armored beast horse.

The man talked a lot, but all he said was that he had no interest in Lyla at all.

It was time for a pre-told break, and the Armored Beast Rider stopped his feet.

When they finally realized it was time, the soldiers stood up from their chairs to leave their rooms and took their gaze away from Lyla.

In the gap, Lyla activated the "Evil Hand", grabbing the man's head from behind and crushing it.

It's about time I got around to listening to the bragging that doesn't get the guidelines, and there are things I can't do without this man.

And the female soldier who came in to tell the guest room to take a break was called a "mission", and the woman cleaned the guest room, and the rest was moved there again.

In the room where she was alone, Lyla decided to read the letter of introduction.

The letter of introduction was sealed, but I didn't mind opening it.

There is nothing particularly strange about the contents.

It's just a quick summary of what Lyla told the young staff officer.

I was unable to satisfactorily deal with the absence of the commander, but it is written that I would like to ask you to keep it confidential.

Confidentially, this matter encompasses politically delicate issues.

Apparently, Acrazio is the director of the National Laboratory.

The Armored Beast Cavalry, which is the backbone of the Federation's military power, and the director of its state-of-the-art National Laboratory, make the current regime quite comfortable. Therefore, the scandal of people involved in such a regime hub is a delicate project that can destabilize the system.

It seems that the head of state, the chief, will be elected in turn from each of the autonomous regions participating in the Federation, but the order is not fixed. It is only customary that they are not elected from the same autonomous region after two consecutive terms. The term of office has been fixed, but it seems that if there is a recall, I may resign even in the middle of my term.

That's what young officers are afraid of. I wonder if Octavia's presence could be the result of favoring political opponents and triggering a coup d 'état.

The lie Lyla vomited with a mild feeling just because she seemed to resemble me racially is becoming quite important.

After all, it is not good to say the right thing by accident.

When uncertainty is involved, it is usually not a hassle.

Eventually, we arrived in Utel, Wikings' federal capital.

There were checks in the capital. The whole city is surrounded by walls.

During the inspection, Perlita, a female soldier escort who was on a "mission", spoke a few words and was able to break through easily.

It seems that hostiles have never used the Armored Beast Rider. In other words, it is confirmed at the time of riding.

The sweetness of perception around here, or the sweetness of security, can also be found in the central continent.

Nevertheless, given the high level of security of the Armored Beast Cavalry itself, I don't know. It is a little difficult for external forces to use this weapon in its entirety.

According to a chat with a young staff officer, the beasts do not use such weapons and destroy the Armored Beast Rider with one of them, and you can see the difference between the devil and man. If there is a premise that there are no traitors to mankind, then that is not a problem.

However, the idea that there are no traitors to mankind is suspicious in itself.

At least one of them must be a mass murderer.

That is what it means to go to the path of mankind's evil.

The walls that covered the capital looked much more splendid than those on the central continent.

It is the same for the buildings in the city.

The National Laboratory is also about the size of a castle in the Central Continent.

I wonder if it's because a heavy machine called the Armor Beast Ride is available.

"─ ─ Fu"

"─ ─ Anything wrong?

"Anything. I wondered if I could finally meet my mother."

I see. Well, I guess so. "

Lyla and the others are in the laboratory interview room where the mass murder suspect works.

Elder Dwarf, who is known as the deputy director, handles me in the reception room, but I am waiting while I have a chat with the deputy director.

Because telling Director Acrazio that your daughter has come to see you is a bit of a "no idea."

Of course, it is natural that I have no idea. Neither does Lyla.

However, the letter of introduction sometimes states that it may be a concealed child, and the deputy director doesn't seem to suspect Lyla.

After the letter of introduction was cut off, it was left with Perlita, a female soldier who was riding her bike. The deputy director was also given only a letter taken out of the envelope from the female soldier's hand.

This was because Perlita worked in front of the deputy director to make sure the letter was correct as a precaution.

This is not normally possible, but because it is a delicate content about the scandal of the director of the state-owned laboratory, the military is responsible for maintaining confidentiality.

Lila sneaked inside without caring about the seal because she was going to tell me this from the beginning.

"Excuse me."

I don't know how many times I went there, but the researcher who went to fetch Miss Acrazio came back. I wonder if he was alone again.

"Come in. What did the director say?

When the deputy director asked, the researcher answered in trouble.

"If that's what you're saying..."

Apparently Director Acrazio's lab is far away.

It feels like a separate building in the research building even though it is far away, and it is about the size of a small factory.

The deputy director went back to work, but the three of the researchers and the escort Perlita who led him into the separate building.

The researcher seemed to be like the assistant to the director of the acrazio station, which is why he was entrusted with brokerage and guidance.

"─ ─ Chief, I brought your daughter."

"─ ─ I told you I didn't know my daughter. Well, come in."

I have permission to enter the room.

Perlita was stopped by her assistant because she didn't want anyone outside.

The assistant also waited while watching Perlita, and only Lyla entered.

It is convenient for two people alone.

"Nice to meet you. Mother, it's your daughter Octavia. ─ ─ Nice to meet you."

"I don't know who you are, but for what purpose did you approach me? ─ ─" Appraisal ""

Warning. Unexpected error prevented from proceeding

"Mission" cannot be executed. The target character is protected (locked) by the system.

"... what?

"... hmm?

I had no intention of asking troublesome questions. Lyla activated "Mission" from the opening.

However, it was rejected by a system message that I had never heard of such as an unexpected error.

The fact that it is protected by the system means that this woman named Acragio is protected by the operation.

Maybe it's an event character or something that the operation plans to use for something someday.

"─ ─ I didn't expect that my" appraisal "would be resisted. Who are you, woman?

Acragio asked with a sharp glance.

He has a tight eye, but he looks very beautiful.

When I was about 30 years old, I wondered if I was human.

It's not that Lyla and her face are similar in shape, but if they're both beautiful and have similar skin colors, I know that they doubt blood relations.

Anyway, Lyla is the one who wants to ask who it is.

It is extremely unlikely that this Director of Acragio will be aware of himself as an event character, but he is nevertheless deliberately protected. I may have something in mind. I want to ask you that.

"... your assistant came to say hello. I'm your daughter. Mother," Greetings "─ ─"

I don't necessarily answer where I ask. Whether you know it or not, at least this woman is watching out for Lyla.

So I decided to save myself the trouble of asking "appraisals".

I thought so and activated it, but it also stunned Lyla. The surprise this time is more than the time of the "mission".

Now I didn't hear a system message, and I didn't feel resisted.

However, the indicated doctor's status was extremely unusual.

I can see the name. Bertasalena Acrazio. What was Acrazio's last name?

The race seems to be a spell.

Some of the skills are also displayed.

However, most of the remaining skills, traits, and talent columns were typed and could not be confirmed at all.

Something like unspeakable disgust struck Lyla.

Is this because you saw a strange list of characters, or is it because of the discomfort felt by this doctor himself?

"... hmm. Are you going to argue with my daughter?... that's good. That's a lot of power. If you want to help me, you can leave it to your daughter. The race doesn't seem to be the same... but others don't understand."

The demonic spirit, but the human race's physical characteristics diminish from this rank. When it comes to human beings, evil people and saints are the same.

If you are an elf, the characteristic long ears will be shorter and a little more pointed. If you look at Rare's ears, you'll see.

And if you're human, your ears are a bit sharp, and you still have a similar shape. This is what Lyla's ear looks like.

According to Rare, the king of Dwarf, who became the Spirit King, had also grown in height. The muscles seemed to be intact, but it was probably because they were personally trained.

I don't know what Acragio, the magic spirit, was originally, but now it definitely looks like Lyla in a state where her traits have disappeared. I know at first glance that the opponent is not evil for Lyla, and it will be the same for Acragio, but neither is much different from the average person on the righteous route.

But the problem is not the visible species, but the part that was invisible by typography.

It's not about being vigilant.

Lyla wanted to destroy everything and escape if she got in trouble.

Certainly, that may not still be possible.

The exact combat power of this doctor is unknown, but his inability to see Lyla's abilities in the opponent's Appraisal is at least worse than Lyla's.

However, Lyla had no certainty that she could kill this doctor.

It's also because of the typed status, and somehow because of the discomfort you feel.

This is not what I could say about Rare who fails when he gets on his feet.

Acrazio, who knew he wasn't going to be honest with Lyla, decided to use Lyla for a second time.

Regardless of whether or not to ride it, I decided to try to encourage it first. If you don't shut up, the story won't go any further.

Not to mention, Lyla wanted this doctor's knowledge and skills to get here.

Whoever this doctor is, it's fine if he can achieve his purpose as a result. All you have to do is think about other things once you have achieved your goal.

"─ ─ What exactly is cooperation? If it's good for me, don't even think about it."

"The advantage is that you can name my daughter.... That's the face of dissatisfaction. It's greedy.

In the first place, for what purpose did you come here named my daughter? If you help me, it might come true. "

Lyla snapped her chin silently and encouraged her to continue.

Lyla didn't just hear about the benefits, she also heard about the details of the cooperation. Unless you know it, you can't nod carelessly.

"Are you going to tell me? Well, I can almost imagine. The fact that you're approaching me will mean that you're after information or something about the Armor Beast Rider. Such a thing is of no great value to me. Take whatever you want.

My cooperation is nothing else. You're helping me with my research. I want you to retrieve the research materials.

I'm developing a new armored beast rider, the materials I need to complete it. "
