I Said Make My Abilities Average!

"Okay, I'm coming in..."

Miles who ignored the desperate deterrence of the beasts and did not try to stop going into the hole. Of course, Lena and the others will accompany us.

It doesn't affect the Beasts in any way whether the Miles get into the hole and do something about it, but is it still against our policy to send the girls to a dead spot, or is it that these people are not so bad that we tried so hard to stop them...

But I'm not authorized to stop Miles from acting, and if I tried to stop him with all my might, it would be a fine criminal act.

For that reason, 'Can I spread the rumor that four girls were attacked by the beasts?' And when it was said unto him, he could not lay down his hand. After all, the Beasts seemed to care about honor and all that.

The merchants may have had a lot to think about, but in the end, they never spoke out.

And Miles tells the merchants, 'If they don't return, turn back and go to the Imperial City, and hire an escort there to return home.'... the chances of that happening are very low, no, I almost don't think so...

In the middle of an escort mission, this is also accepted by the merchants as part of an 'investigation into the Empire', so no problem.

And into the dark hole, "The Red Vow," which lights up the magical lights and goes in.

"Have you walked about 500 meters..."

"It's only about 300 meters."

This hole does not mean that stairs or ladders are necessary because it is a gentle gradient, not straight underground. For this reason, they are usually just walking downhill. Still, it doesn't change to 'diving into the dirt' rapidly because it's moving towards the mountains.

And Lena sensibly already intended to walk quite a bit, but was lightly denied that by the miles she was counting her steps. Well, you're walking in a dark cave, so that's the illusion you won't have a choice.

If the line goes any further...

"It's a group..."

Surrounded by six golems.

But the Miles aren't too worried. I know from the stories of the Beasts that the Golem here seems to take care not to kill the subhumans as much as possible, and the look of The Red Vow doesn't seem very strong. And furthermore, the Miles didn't intend to fight from themselves. It is only an 'investigation' that we have come here for.

Also, the reason Miles gave everyone an optimistic explanation is of course that the nanomachine allows them to communicate with the other side of the spectrum.

Last time, it was possible to communicate with scavengers, not just with that terminal device. And Golem seems to call scavengers in matters beyond his control. So I thought I could make quite a few first contacts if I didn't do something that the Beasts supposedly did, unilaterally attack the golems I broke into and met.

And if not, it would be as possible to escape.

Miles was replenishing the item box with enough scraps of iron that had become less because of the last massive offering.

"Look, chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit-chit..."

"So if it's not a little bird..."

Lena's penetration goes through, takes the scrap iron out of the item box and gives it miles toward the golems. Golem to stop and stare at it. … exactly the same pattern as last time.

And a while later, a scavenger appeared.

Look at the scrap iron, take a glimpse of the miles (the best), grab the scrap iron unmade...

"Is that it? Less responsive than last time? Less gratifying? Is the iron of any quality worse than a broken sword or an empty pot of holes?

When Miles was saying that, all of a sudden Scavenger made a freaking move. And when I thought it had solidified for a few seconds, I suddenly started to move like I was in a hurry and somehow gave instructions to the golems...

No, I didn't speak out or show it by gesture, but as soon as Scavenger's behavior changed, a change appeared in Golem's behavior, so it would be reasonable to think so.

And the golems repositioned. From the formation surrounding the miles, three bodies are in the back of the aisle and the other three are in the inlet side, each in a shaped (arrowhead) formation….

"Ma, miles, what is this..."

"Yes, escort formation, or..."

"Or?

"... hold back and forth, 'I'll never let you get away with this, formations'?

……

And at the head of the scavenger, "The Red Vow" continues into the back as it is guided.

After a while we arrived...

"... a blacksmith?

It just seems so to the Lena and the others......

"Factory?"

Miles, that's what it looked like.

I can't think of anything other than a "blacksmith" where metal is processed and sparks scattered to the laners. Because I've never seen or heard of any other facility.

But this was clearly not of the level of 'blacksmith', but much more advanced, or 'factory'. Nor, as the Miles expected, a smaller one to repair and manufacture the golem, but a larger one......

Miles who thought they would be taken to the 'surviving control system', as they did last time, also asked about developments that betrayed expectations.

(... Nano. Nano instructed you to bring him here?

[No, this time, I haven't had a single contact with him yet. I thought Master Miles should not be in the way of being free to act......]

(Oh, yeah, thanks. It would help if you did.... So, can you guess the status quo?

I can't help it. I don't know anything about it, so relying on a nanomachine here is something I can't help!

Yes, it was a mile to tell myself.

[Yes, as Master Miles would have thought, this is also one of the remaining ruins. And the scavengers in charge of repairs, the golems in charge of defense, and that group of machines under construction….

Here, there is no such thing as the last terminal device, and it appears to be operating at the discretion of the scavenger]

(Huh? Then why is it so sweet to deal with the subpeople? In a common Golem habitat, the hostiles kill fine, don't they? Besides, this special treatment for us...)

[Would you like to hear it?

(Huh...)

[Would you like to hear it?

(... Knee, I want to hear, Death...)

Sooner or later, Miles asked the nanomachine to confirm the situation.

[... was a subordinate]

(Huh?)

[It was subordinate. This ruin, and all the scavengers and golems in the ruins, were under Master Miles]

(No, I don't get it! Tell me to know better!

To confusing miles, a nanomachine that explains to bite and include.

[In that ruin, Master Miles took over the authority of 'Administrator', didn't he?

(Ugh, yeah...... If those mechanical intellectuals are given a little bit of merit or peace of mind (Amney), I think...)

[Its intentions are fully reflected]

(Well, good...)

[And thanks to you for removing some restrictions, those guys have expanded their range of action, dispatched repair teams to other sites that have ceased functioning, increased production of scavengers locally, and started restoring the functionality of the site. This is one of them. So......]

(Hey, so...?

Somehow, I started having a bad feeling about miles.

[Naturally here too, Miles will be under his control and Miles will be the ruler here]

"I knew it would be nice ~!"

Bad feeling hits me well, it was miles......
