Ihoujin, Dungeon ni Moguru

<Chapter 3: We Gather on the Black Flag> [04]

[04]

Maria proceeds, ignoring me who has fallen. It is a solemn passage. Are you somewhere in the temple? I can move at such a moment.

"I'll leave it."

"Oh, oh"

Hurry and follow. There is a faint light. It is the light of Shogakuishi.

Like a dungeon, but the air is not musty. The cold outside has entered from somewhere.

After walking about 20 meters, I came out into an open dome-shaped space.

Similar to the place summoned by Princess Amelia. However, this is decaying to decay.

I found a large amount of casually piled supplies.

Military supplies around World War II. The name of the wooden box has been burned out, but the design of the gun and radio can't be changed.

Maria puts the M1 Garland in a box and removes a large chunk of cloth.

I was surprised at what came out.

The total length is 4 meters. The rough silhouette resembles a gorilla. Upper arm larger than hind legs. Moss Green's armor has deep claw marks. A bunch of thick tubes at the joints. A star mark that has been cut off on the shoulder and is about to disappear.

An old artificial intelligence pot is installed at the position where it hits the head from the torso.

"Joke."

Artificial intelligence pseudo humanoid weapon.

Speaking of which, I have heard before.

Nuclear mine with Nazi German disk-shaped airplane, Soviet submarine drill battleship, and British chicken. And an American bipedal tank. Numerous weapons that were rumored to be occults.

One of them is right in front of you.

The power light in the center of the pot lights up. The Nixie tube displayed a torch-like light.

Artificial intelligence moves with the creaking of dull metal.

Standing in front of me with intimidating movements.

"Did you finally join?"

Inorganic electronic voice.

Who controlled Makina, who stopped working? ! Why did you send me here? !

"What are you?"

"I belong to the First World Expeditionary Force" Sea Curve Grigade ", the first generation A.I. Alpha core mounted type, prototype bipedal light tank, T37 Phase II. The nickname is "torch". Answer your affiliation, nationality, and rank. "

"Japan, Soya sent from Ishido Heavy Industries"

[Question. Are you not a military servant?

"Yes, I am a non-regular employer. Did you hack Makina? Did you not get the information at that time?"

"No. I have no right to violate my sister's heart. Private is important "

"I'm confused because I have too many things to ask"

An occult weapon that should never exist, belonging to the expeditionary force that has been wiped out.

What to ask from?

"I have no intention of fighting you. The same goes for my daughter. "

"Eh, daughter?"

The torch spreads a rough and rough palm, and Maria rides there.

"I grew up Maria. And I'm against marriage with you. '

"Is artificial intelligence bringing up people?"

Oh, but. I have heard stories about artificial intelligence raising abandoned infants. It's a story that became so famous that he did laughing tricks to buy infant food.

"Yes, the torch is a concubine, Daddy."

"We are a very friendly relationship compared to a typical fatherless family"

"How did that happen?"

"I was taken out of service by Captain John Smith after the brigade was destroyed. Reactivation requires genetic contact with humans. Maria did it. '

"But the concubine was also stopped and sealed. Daddy's fighting friend would still have slept in a corner of the contraindicated forest if he had not found the concubine and brought him here."

"My restart and the encounter with Mary are God's guidance."

"Maybe Maria is my name"

"I named it. She remembered the names of her father and mother, so she taught Dugan how to create this world's nomenclature. '

"I don't think a man who abandoned his mother and concubine is his father. Torch is a concubine Daddy."

"Thanks, I'm glad"

When Maria strokes the torch pot, the display on the Nixie tube moves like an emotional expression.

It's like a beauty and a beast.

"Have you recently formed an alliance with King Dugan?"

'As soon as we met Mary, we met them. The cathedral was a holy place where Robs was entrusted to the dwarves. Since then, it has been a secret cooperation. The rule of the weak minor kings. Central continent information gathering. The course of a military operation. Military training process. New farming. Various events were performed together. The idea of a black elf is also his idea. '

That mustache.

In fact, isn't that the black elf general?

The military now knows something. Next is the past army.

"What caused the expedition to die?"

"The immediate cause is a beast attack. But the expedition was originally to be abandoned in this world. '

"Discard it?"

I'm new.

I have a bad feeling. There is a secret smell that you must not know.

"A study of the advance squad from 1947 to 1949 reported that there was no resource for the cost in this outer world. In 1951, an infantry brigade was planned to be dispatched. At the same time, another plan is going on. "

"What is another plan?"

"The operation name is unknown because it was discarded. Seacurb-Grigade infantry participated in a nuclear test exercise and advanced to the hypocenter by military command. In occupied territories after using nuclear weapons. Probably data collection of infantry radiation exposure. "

"...? Atomic Soldier?"

A notorious nuclear test using soldiers in their own country.

An era in which radioactivity was not yet widespread. The upper army rushed generals to the nuclear bomb hypocenter without teaching anything. I heard that records were destroyed in the 1950s and that there were many unknowns. The expeditionary forces were the soldiers.

"This is a question. What is an Atomic Soldier?

"The term refers to soldiers who have been exposed to unwarranted nuclear tests. There is a movie about this. I knew that."

"I understand. ………So that's it. Were they not erased from memory? '

"No, I forgot. No one knows that the expeditionary forces in a different world consisted of atomic soldiers."

"There are words that point to them. It is synonymous with being remembered. '

"Really"

That's sad joy.

"They are 240 hours after arriving at the Outer World. Severe radiation damage renders 85% incapacitated. The site determined that the task of building a camp for the Second Expeditionary Force was not possible. He advises Brigadier to open the portal for return, but the portal for our return has never been opened. "

"Did the portal itself not open?"

the worst.

Did you really create an expeditionary force for the purpose of disposal?

"And we, weapons with artificial intelligence, were banned by the Dermast Conference in 1957 and were abandoned in this world. That's what we call Japan--a dumping mountain. "

"I feel a little different"

"For words, it is enough if you know the outline."

Anyway, artificial intelligence around me is about.

That one contradiction.

"Well, the artificial intelligence brain should have been developed sometime around the meeting.

"It's the thought of each country. We are working with the discovery of the outer world in 1946. '

"Put it at the same time as discovery?"

"Jesus. The soluble brain is just a control device. The construction of thinking currents by quantum aggregates can be done with just a glass bottle. "

Something has been confused.

"Is artificial intelligence not driven besides you?"

"Jesus. In T37 Phase II, six aircraft were in operation except me, but they were all destroyed in battle with the Beast. "

"Is that beast the bloody beast we fought?"

"Jesus"

"Why did you fight?"

"Can you promise not to disclose this information to protect the honor of my comrades?

"Let's swear to my God."

I know secrets that I can't talk about anymore.

Now one or two more places.

"understood. Some troops have been deserted and are attacking local residents. Among them was a beast. '

"………Really"

I feel sorry for their situation, but they are self-employed.

"Then, what about information from different worlds, published books, and the wrongdoing of expeditionary forces announced in the modern world?"

"First, what is the wrongdoing of the expeditionary forces?

"Destruction and rape. Massacre."

"It's a simple prediction derived from soldier stress. Imagination and creation from the information of the advance squad. And the information of the different worlds made into books will be what we originally had. '

“……………?”

Thought stopped.

"The discoverers have named us A.I. Immediately this will change its meaning and be replaced by Artificial Intelligence. '

"In Japanese please"

"Permission. It means artificial intelligence. '

"Oh, yes"

Well, artificial intelligence.

"But the one who named us first called us this way. Advent intelligence. The intelligence that has arrived. That is, A.I.

"e"

From where, these guys.

"We descend into this world and look at the earth. There is one feeling that has come to mind. Nostalgia ”

"Nostalgia"

I can only associate one.

"Yes, we, AI, are originally residents of this world."
