■ Five minutes ago [Eltram] - Southwest 20km Metel Point

Red and white mechanical dragons - [Sardonics] are walking through the desert at night.

That aircraft, which was supposed to arrive before midnight, was not supposed to reach the [Eltram] much earlier than planned.

"Your husband! It's time to get to the [Eltrame]!

"You got here a long time ago..."

To Makina's report, Rascal said so while holding his chest.

The only reason I'm holding my chest down is because I have a rib in it. It is an ultrasonic manoeuvre that was not planned.

At a time when communication with the [Eltram] was interrupted, he said, "Ah! This is an emergency! We have to hurry!" and Machina reuses ultrasonic manoeuvres. As a result, Rascal, a fellow rider, became the feather of physically breaking bones.

We were supposed to travel at an unaffordable rate on Rascal's body in the first place, so if we were so forced to do so, we would have arrived early and naturally.

"Mr. Rascal."

When the fuselage speed was slowed and Rascal was recovering damage with a high quality [potion], a call was made from a communications aircraft.

That's Zhang's voice on the [Eltram].

"Zhang. Communication restored?

'Yes, I do not know the cause… it is believed that the cause of the disruption of communications was eliminated by the onboard forces'

"Right. What's the status?"

"The ship is occupied by soldiers named Dreiffe Orthodox Government. But the special hall where the VIPs gathered was already liberated by Manigold et al. We're moving on to sweep the rest of the enemy now. '

That's it, as originally planned, a war for force analysis.

However, unlike Rascal's prospects, it was not a war aimed at beads.

"But Emily..."

"Did something happen to Emily?

"We recognize the Dreiffe Orthodox Government as our enemy, searching for enemy shadows and roaming the ship. You should have been able to disarm me before, but I'm not going back. '

"............... right"

If Emily had been around before, she would have returned naturally if there were no enemies around her.

But it will not, wandering in search of enemies.

That had its advantages as a combat personnel... but it's an unwelcome development for Rascal.

(Worsening symptoms? Then should we instruct the hospital to take the hard off, but bring Emily back in real life? But then, treat it. into “prison" would be out of line with the original purpose)

Keep quiet, he thinks.

(We shouldn't stop here any more than we have yet to overcome)

"Mr. Rascal?

"Oh, I understand the situation. Emily can stay put for now. I'll pick you up later."

'... okay. Or one more thing, I have something to tell you.'

Zhang also reported to Rascal about another reporting matter, Doris, which was deposited with Emily.

"... oh now Emily asked for protection,"

To the facts reported, Rascal contemplates again.

(Wandering in search of enemies is worse, but can you say that you are a better person? It's still hard to judge. You should also talk to your doctor later...... Whatever, should I secure it)

"Zhang. Protect the girl. Emily can take precedence over herself. Emily can be safe in any situation. Besides, it's not the same gear as last time."

"I understand."

Instructing Zhang, Rascal cut off communication.

As I've been waiting for that timing, Makina will also report.

"Sir, it's a little sucky"

"... I don't want to hear it, let's hear it"

"Erm, the [Eltram] is powered off. Maybe he's about to take it off and hold it somewhere..."

"- Fuck."

Rascal uncommonly threw up slang on him and gave him an abominable look.

"They're not after the beads, are they? Booking sucks...... Now I just have to go in now. We don't even have time to observe the situation."

"Um, why?

"Suppose the Orthodox government guys took the power reactor. It's troublesome if they take it away, but Manigold can take this down. The people involved in the [Eltram] decided to be taken away by the Orthodox government, but the truth is, < Sephiroto > gets it, what a situation."

"... isn't that too much?

"But some guys are going to come up with something like that"

In Cardina most humans know the colour...... Rascal will look like he chewed up a bitter bug, thinking of the Speaker's face.

"So before that came the need to take it or smash it....... hu"

Rascal sighs heavily...... face up.

"… Makina, shifting from cruise shelling form (Canon Cruiser) to transcendental sniping form Auver Sniping. We're gonna use a super long range sniper cannon."

"Oh! You've unlocked the main cannon since the test! Oh, my God! You're going to sink the [Eltrame]!

"No. It's the frigate we're after. I don't know where Emily and Zhang might be on board."

"Icer!"

In response to Rascal's instructions, Makina hits her own keyboard at high speed.

Following that operation, the shape of the [Sardonics] changes.

There is no change in his appearance mimicking a wingless dragon, but his neck gradually begins to grow.

Its neck was long, linear and... the way it opened its mouth made me think of a huge rifle.

"Shift complete! Observation buoy ejection!

From the back of a deformed [Third Nix], a single missile strikes up like a signal bullet.

It took off its exterior when it reached a certain altitude above it, becoming a floating sensor and staying on the spot.

The sensor overlooks a wide area under the eye and feeds its optical information into the [Sardonics] body.

"I got the footage. There are two frigates facing this side... and if you work hard, you can aim for three."

"Crush everything. Thinking about the later, I've never gone over reducing it"

"Icer. I'll aim."

Shortly afterwards, Makina's seated seat deforms.

Seats whose orientation was inverted and chair-shaped change angles horizontally. It's like laying a mat over Rascal's head sitting on a front seat.

"Oops."

On top of that, Makina lays down and at the same time holds a device with a trigger coming down from the top of the cockpit and a camera-eye interlocking aimer, peeking into the aimer.

Most of all, the desert is the only place you can see a peek into the aimer.

Naturally. Still the [Eltram] is at the end of the horizon. Physically invisible.

In the first place, there's no reason why you can snipe, no matter how you scratch the horizon.

But Makina was looking at something over the aimer.

"Here's the observation from above... with the current location of the fuselage... with the matching desert hills... with the current location of the target... yeah, it fits"

She links the optical information sent from the observation buoy over the sky with the observation information over the camera eye with her own (...) operator... aiming.

"Well, first of all... the first shot,"

Thus, the first shell was fired from the mouth of… [Sardonics] while angling upwards obliquely.

That flies a few times the sound speed to the diagonal upward with the firing angle intact.

Eventually an explosive set in a shell detonates at a point in the air.

Move the angle of the shell diagonally down -,

- I hit the bridge of the most escorted ship on the [Eltram].

"Hit!"

"... BEAUTIFUL (BEAUTIFUL FOR), but should I say?

"Eh heh heh ~ ♪ Say more ~ ♪"

Second shot, come on.

"Dere is short......!

Moaning, but happily Makina fired a second shot... letting the second ship hit her.

◆

[Horizon Arch]. It is the most characteristic arm of [Third Nix] and a long-range sniper designed by Makina.

It can't be a sniper gun size that can be mounted on the fuselage, with a radius of 50 kilometers at a straight distance... it has a long range like a train gun.

On top of that, you can also ignite the explosives on the side of the shell at a pre-set time and change the angle while the shell is flying.

But that's just an airline theory on the desk. Set of angles to target targets ahead of the horizon, when to pull the trigger, and the ignition time of the explosive. If those three aren't perfect, they won't hit.

In the first place, the hitting rate of a long-range train cannon on Earth is not high.

But Makina shows this in a hundred strokes.

The angle of aim, when to pull the trigger, and the set of explosives, she does everything in the manual.

arithmetic ability to an unusual extent, but she is the eldest sister of the Brilliant Jade.

The most brilliant, DEX-specific, brilliant man.

- There's nothing more clever than me.

That's the word she told Rascal when she developed this sniper.

◆

"The second ship is sinking. Hit the third ship, too. Oh, it's time for the cannon to burn."

The [Horizon Arch] shell begins to burn in several firings because it boasts the largest long range of gunpowder firearms. If you continue to use it like this, it will crush during firing and cause significant damage to the fuselage.

"Okay. fix (...)"

That's what Rascal says. Touch the railings on his own seat... and exercise his skills.

"Rewind Weapon"

Shortly after he proclaimed, the whole [Third Nix] was engulfed in light.

And when the light subsided, the shell that was supposed to have burned...... not a scratch as if I had never shot it yet, and it was cold.

That is his… [Vessel God (The Weapon)] skill.

"It's off the hook to see it again and again!

"I'm just using something"

Weapon Operations Specialized Super Position, [Organ God].

To put that skill trend in short...... it is restorative magic (...).

- Recovery magic can be used against the machine (...).

That is the super position of [vessel god].

Technically, like a mechanic, how quickly parts are replaced and repaired is not an important skill trend.

That's what magically fixes a broken machine. Even repair magic should be categorized.

I can't cure what is lost like the left hand of a makina, but if the parts are to the extent that they are crushed, I will try to repair them with one skill.

Also, even if the fuselage throws out errors, try to adjust them with one skill and normalize them.

In other words, as long as Rascal is on board...... [Third Nix] has no damage or error.

That's the biggest reason he's on board until he breaks a bone.

Instead, it could be said that it was no strange aircraft whenever the balance collapsed without rascals.

"The old [vessel god] didn't work as well as your husband did!

[Vessel God] 's repair magic skills require a complete understanding of the structure of the target machine as a prerequisite for use.

But there's no problem.

Rascal's body, not Rascal himself, is known by Deus Ex Machina, < Super Embrio > (...).

Rascal was [vessel god] enough because he fully grasped the structure of the machine coupled by Deus Ex Makina.

It is not uncommon for [God (The One)], such as [The Goddess], to complete the criteria for transferring by. (Rather, it can be said that [Battousai] cashmere and others reached with pure technology are rarer cases)

"Yes, Dawn. This is the end of the third ship."

"Shift to cruise shelling form. Enter the [Eltram] and head to the power block"

"Icer!"

The shell of the extended [Sardonics] is stored, and the seat of the makina also returns to its original position.

And [Third Nix] moves out again, storming the [Eltram], where most of the frigates have become inoperable.

"Your husband, by the way"

"What?"

"You said earlier that you didn't know where Mr. Zhang and the others were... but you're definitely not at the bridge, are you?

Rascal immediately guessed what Makina was going to say.

"Shoot (...)"

"Icer!"

Shortly after Rascal's short instructions, [Sardonics] 's head opens its mouth again.

In short shell mode for inter-march shooting rather than ultra-long range sniping, Makina shoots and releases Horizon Arch again.

Now all of them are visible beyond the horizon, shelling on the move at high speeds.

Still, the warhead with the ultrasound speed didn't go too far, piercing the bridge of the [Eltrame].

"Hit...... that?

Makina gives me the look of doubt when she says she made it hit brilliantly.

"What's up?

"No, something's more damaging than I expected - dodging"

Machina defeated the joystick aggressively to make an emergency evasion straight to the side, faster than she could finish her words.

Rascal's body swells again at the intense G, zero blood coming from his mouth.

But Rascal says nothing about it.

Now at this moment, [Sardonics] 's existential position... because a giant light bullet has passed.

"..." Gold and Silver Artillery (Gold Rush). "

To a familiar blow, Rascal immediately guessed the situation.

"Were you at the bridge? Direct fire was also prevented by the fact that he himself became a wall."

"Master, what do you want to do?

Even as we speak now, a light bullet with hundreds of millions of units of gold thrown into it flew in from the bridge arrows early.

It is only dodged by the masterful maneuvering of Makina, but at the point of landing in the rear several giant craters have been born. If you hit me directly, I'm just sorry.

"Don't shoot wasted ammunition. It's no use attacking him while he's activating his skills. But it doesn't change what you do. Forward."

…………

"STG (Shooting Game). I look at the gap and scratch his interception, and I reach the ship. Once you're on board, you won't be able to shoot whatever you want."

Not comparable to [Marshall II] in terms of strength [Third Nix]. If you can put enough power into destroying it, then you can't just do it when you hit the [Eltram].

"... but when it comes to filling the distance, it moves in a pretty unscrupulous way... is your husband okay?

Guide yourself to a physically brittle rascal, Makina asks.

"I told you to move on, right?

But Rascal told him to move on, even as he zeroed the blood from his mouth.

"... Icer!

Then no longer, no questions asked.

In keeping with the will of its owner, Rascal, Makina forced [Sardonics] to storm the barrage of contact fatalities.

◇ ◇ ◇

□ [Eltrame] - Commercial block

vibration from the direction of the bridge, followed by a ground beep from outside the ship.

In the midst of a sudden spiral of circumstances, Eldridge immediately gives Niara instructions.

"Niara."

"Understood."

The crest emits when Niara holds her left hand, and then six blue windows float around her.

When Niara touched one of them with her fingers, from the other side of the surface she touched...... a mechanical twist flew away.

At the same time Eldridge skilfully strips off a piece of the wall and flies from there to the outside.

Soon afterwards, external footage is shown in a flying window.

◇

Niara's, TYPE: Legion [all wings swemorg].

It is a flock of bird-shaped leggions that can be used for a variety of applications, including "Spotter Ouls" for observation now used, "Group Crows" for agitation, "Message Pigeons" for transmission, "Cargo Pelicans" for transport, "Fighting Falcons" for air warfare, and "Genocide Condors" for bombing.

However, Niara's own control is required to some extent for the Legion but for the behavioral instructions, and the number that can be used simultaneously also depends on her ability.

For this reason, operations such as her sniping are usually the main ones while observing the position of the enemy by means of the "".

It should be noted that the more highly combative birds require heavy external costs for start-up, so the recent deterioration of the poetic situation is also a reason for non-use.

For the record, he once blurred, "... I would have preferred a bear if it were an animal type."

Regardless of his ability, it was also unclear whether his appearance was in accordance with his taste.

◇

"In battle, right?"

Niara described with confusion the external footage conveyed by the

A mechanical dragon trying to get close to the ship.

Countless light bullets rolled out of the bridge so as to inhibit it.

There has been a great deal of destruction at the point of landing of the light bullet, and if it were to hit the ship, it would not spare a sinking.

But they looked familiar to it.

"... you mean a novice raider shows up and Manigold responds to it"

Eldridge was treading, perhaps even his enemies.

I didn't say it to my mouth because it wasn't definitive, but it can also be said that Manigold is archaic.

(Super again...) Giving it to Manigold doesn't make it safe. Two more, except for the newbies. Besides, one is that [Murder Princess].... this situation even though I thought the job had been a success for a long time. Should we think of a trigger somewhere?

If you desert your temporary alliance with Manigold and flee, you will be afraid of the rest.

But Eldridge didn't want to lose any more by dealing with Super.

(But the fuselage held by the head of the Orthodox government in the power reactor would be the most valuable. I would love to get that if possible)

It was not the difference between cloud mud that had it as a harvest.

Retreat or proceed, Eldridge was troubled.

such a fold,

"I don't know what's going on, little girl! It's bloody!

Unexpectedly, I heard Faye's voice like that.

When I looked at you with my voice, Faye was just approaching the girl in the bloody dirty dress.

The girl has a crest on her left hand and can see at a glance that she is.

The girl apparently walked out of the room block. Neara and Eldridge were distracted by the footage conveyed by the girl and did not notice the girl approaching.

At first glance, the bloody girl looks like the victim by the Orthodox government.

But just a moment later, Eldridge understands the danger ahead of him.

Because the girl's face and crest fell under the precautionary list in memory.

"Owner! This kid's hurt..."

"Get away!!

"Stay away!

Eldridge and...... at the same time Hugo screams.

"Huh?"

But sooner than Faye hears the two warnings and moves them into some action......

The girl sees Faye as “the enemy"...

"- Negative"

With that one word, the girl - [Murder Princess] Emily sliced Faye's torso.
