In a Different World with a Smartphone

"Which one, will you dig then?"

Stand at the search point and wrap your arms around it. Well, I magically dig it. I found out there's a demon stone here with search magic, but I don't know how deep it is.

"Do we have to dig the dirt anyway"

Start digging holes using dirt magic. Float yourself with a "fly" and transport the dirt you dig to the ground with a "revitation". I hit a hard rock formation as I dug in. It also smashes and thrusts with dirt magic.

I think I dug a lot, but nothing yet. You're getting a lot deeper. I hope I don't hit the groundwater vein or something.

The bedrock is changing. Something glittering is getting mixed up, so I'll stop digging and check it out for a second. I found a clear crystal of red mixed with stone. This is a piece of demon stone, though, like a couple of millimeters of real sand grains.

Are we close to what we're meant for? You should dig carefully from here.

Slowly digging in using earthly magic, a large red crystal appeared. Is this it?

To avoid damaging it, carefully scrape the soil and rock around it and peel it off the rock floor. I see the whole demon stone that was buried little by little, but it's bigger than I thought, isn't it, this?

I think it also caught a big one because it was designated 30cm or more. Well, it's not a problem because it's big and I don't have any trouble.

Use "Levitation" and gently remove the Demon Stone of Fire. I knew it was big. 50 centimeters is over it. It's like a big jewel.

Hmm? That's how you can make a lot of money mining gems and stuff?

Mm-hmm, but this is totally up to me. Mr. Takasaka also said that state management should not rely too much on personal abilities.

I hate to think about it, but even if this makes a country, if I die, that's it. If possible, should we stop making money from that? So far, the development of the country is going well and so on, and I'll just let you earn it when you need it personally.

It would be useful if we could also find steel to use for frame gear in this way. Ah. I can't do it alone, from mining to extraction to refining.

But I guess if I sell this I can sell it for a huge price...... That came to mind for a moment, but the power of frame gear will be absolutely necessary later. For that time, I told myself that I had to use this to fill back the hole I had dug.

"Oh well, it's pretty big and tin"

When I saw the demon stone I brought into the "Alchemy Building," Flora was circling her eyes. I say it doesn't have to be this big for now, so I use "modeling" and divide it into two parts. For once, it seems to be in the spare when it fails.

They say it's going to take a month to complete. I had nothing to do from here, so I decided to leave the rest to Flora, and I headed to the hangar.

The shutter was open when I went to the garage where the frame gear was stored. I knew it would stay broken.

As usual, the grey knight stood in a state of upright immobility when he went inside.

"Oh? Are you the master?

"Hmm? Is that the master?

I heard a voice behind me, so I turned around and Rosetta and Monica were there. Rosetta looks like her usual work outfit, but why is Monica in camouflage clothes? Besides, I think that green beret is a special force in some country. As always, I don't know the taste of these kids.

"What's the matter, you two?

"It's been 5,000 years, so I thought I'd light it up. In the" hangar ", magic is granted so that there is no corrosion or degradation, but dust accumulates, and so on."

"So I'm telling you, there's no dust. I managed it properly, Na."

Monica pointing her mouth at Rosetta's words. I'm suspicious that he managed the shutter properly while opening it with a pipe wrench.

Rosetta checked around the frame gear a little before calling me.

"I can't activate it. Do you want to sit in the cockpit?

"Right. Want a ride?"

After receiving my reply, Rosetta climbs into the frame gear with her knees and hips scaffolded from her legs. And when I got around my chest, I put my hands on something like a panel. I heard a pussy and air coming out, and the hatch on my chest opened up and down. Ooh.

Imitating Rosetta, I managed to climb as far as the cockpit, and Monica came up to the same height with something like a crane attached to the wall. If that's the case, get it out of the beginning...

Looking inside, there was a narrow line of unsure switches and levers on the left and right mounted joysticks, fine meters and video boards on the leather sheets. That's a retro cockpit.

I'll just sit down. Yeah, it's not bad. It's sitting comfortable. I have something like a foot lever at my feet. Will this make me walk?

"Piloting is a basic move, and then you're used to it. Fine aids and corrections read the passengers' thoughts and the fuselage does it itself, so if you get used to it, you can move it even in children."

"Even so, the basics depend heavily on the rider's thoughts and experiences, so a warrior in the war would be stronger, and a guy who doesn't can only make quite a move though, Na"

I see. The more you get used to it, the more powerful you are. That means I still wonder if the pilot candidates to get in should be knights or warriors or something. When I asked Rosetta, she said it was due to the fuselage. It seems that some airframes are better suited to wizards, so I wonder if that means choosing a pilot who utilizes his characteristics for each of them.

"I'd like to move it quickly. It's gonna take a while to get used to it."

Out of the cockpit and out of the frame gear, he approached me with a rosetta fudge and a laugh.

"I thought this might happen! Actually, there's something I've been sneaking up on!

Big gesture and frightening! and Rosetta to pose. What is it?

Is that it? The one you've been making in hiding for a while?

When Rosetta took me to the "workshop," there were two objects lined up like laying eggs. It's about the size of a light car. It looks really like an egg because of the white colour, but it's definitely an artifact because I can see the joints squeamishly.

"This is the frame unit, the simulation system for framegear training!

Babahn! and Rosetta explains her work in flashy action. Frame unit? Simulation system means that or you can have a simulated experience......

When Rosetta touched the side of the egg, the slightly pointed front opened up and down, and emerged from it was the frame gear cockpit she boarded earlier.

"This, does it work?

"The power is usually just magic, not ether liquid. You don't actually have to move it."

Well, I guess so. They say the frame gear sends the magic contained in the ether liquid all over the body to synchronize it with the magic of the pilot. They'll be able to move it just like their own bodies. If the pilot is a brain, does that mean the ether liquid is a nerve?

Not only that, they also use it as a catalyst for explosive magic amplification that runs the power reactor. Rosetta and Flora explained it to me, but I honestly wasn't sure of the details. I don't like reason.

They can move the frame gear without an ether liquid if anything is my magic amount, but they have to rebuild the structure from scratch to do that. Looks like there was some frame gear with that kind of design, but the blueprints are also "zoned", he said. I wonder if I can build my own dedicated machine if I can find that.

Do you want to try this simulation and do it anyway?

When I get in, it does look like the same build as the frame gear cockpit. A thin blurry green light lights up in the cockpit when Rosetta closes the hatch.

Can you hear me, Master?

"Is that Rosetta? I hear you."

"We'll start the system first. Please touch the front center panel. '

Front center...... this it? When I touched a small panel about a B5 notebook, all sorts of meters moved along with a quiet boot sound, and footage was shown on the front and on the large left and right monitors. Oh, you're progressing with the touch panel. Even though the construction is retro.

High point of view. Is this the height when you get on the actual frame gear? There's nothing around it. It's a plain. I also see things that look like forests in the distance.

"Did they show you something?

"This is footage from this country. It's being taken in and processed as a training stage."

Yeah, I thought it was a view I'd seen on a dowel. It's footage through the screen, but it looks real.

Let me walk first. Slowly step on the foot pedal on your right foot. Then take the left. So I can walk. "

The fuselage slowly started walking as I was told. Oh, don't rock like that.

"When you turn, deflect the center of gravity you step into, and you turn left and right. Go to the toe when you step back. Step in quickly and you'll run."

Oh, oh? Ooh. Interesting. I'm just walking, bending, down, but it works the way I want it to. Is that it, reading thoughts and aiding me?

While being coached by Rosetta, he also gained access to jumping, shrugging, lateral movement, etc., and then remembered the movement of his upper body using a joystick, raising his hand, lowering, waving his arm, turning his shoulder, etc.

The convenience is that you can just think of movements like turning your neck a little, closing or opening your fingers, twisting your hips, etc. Surely this will allow you to trace your body movements once you get used to it. Apparently it's not a lie that anyone can ride.

I'm getting used to it. As I let the fuselage skip, another frame gear appeared on the front.

"Hmm? What?

It looked like it was in the garage, that gray mass-produced frame gear.

"Seems a lot used to it, so let's move on to the next phase, Ze, Master"

"Hmm? Is that Monica?

The voice I heard was definitely Monica's. Does that mean you're on that one? No, you had two eggs. Are you getting in that way?

and two unadorned blunt swords fall in front of me and the monica machine.

"The next step is to actually learn how to fight."

I see, you had two eggs to play a comm match.

Reach for the sword that is piercing in front of you and grip it firmly.

All right, let's do this together!
