Magi Craft Meister

80-29 Source Department

Cher's discovery of the "hidden door".

That is,

“This is probably a 'cleaning locker'.”

"What..."

Arnold's shoulders relaxed.

Jen, who was watching the situation in the "hurricane", also came crashing.

“I think it's got a cleaning golem in it.”

"... that's what Cher said."But how did you know? "

"No, these are the best lockers in the facility."

Oh, I see.

"If I were to open it, there would probably be an unlocking lever around here... oh, there it is"

On the right side under the rocker, there was a square hole where my finger could enter. When I inserted my index finger into it and gently pulled the lever inside, there was a chattering sound and the door opened.

It's open.

"... you really were the cleaning equipment holder... but the cleaning golem here is humanoid..."

Two golems with a neutral figure of about 150 centimeters in height were stored.

Other cleaning supplies include buckets, dustpans, mops, and rags.

"Okay, that's enough." Close it, please. "

"Yes, Master Arnold."

Cher closes the [Cleaning Equipment Locker] and dresses up for her return.

That said, we just had to put the messy workshop back together.

This was Cher's restraint.

Arnold and Cher returned to the ground with the "Command 1" and "Mini Mole" transforming magic circle in their hands.



“Welcome back. Thank you.”

“I'm home. That was interesting.”

I'm just leaving.

After working on Arnold and the others, Jen performed the maintenance of "Commando 1" and "Mini Mole".

"Thank you very much." You may still be on your own, so stay here. ”

"Hi, Wakalimasita."

After that, I returned to the cabin and met with Arnold and the others.

Somehow, you got information about another facility?

"Yes. According to Cher, 'the manufacture of the Doomsday Machine is taking place at the source of the Border River'......"

It's pretty far north, isn't it?

But since it's so far away from the battlefield, it's not surprising that the facility is still there.

I see. … Shall we go?

Let's go.

"Alright.... ah, before that"

What's the matter?

"[Mini Mole] is going to fill the hole."

In order to prevent water from entering or small animals from diving in, Reiko asked Reiko to collapse the hole with "Rock Collapse (Collapse)", and then she integrated the rock with "Fusion" and cleaned up the hole after herself.



After that, Hurricane went back to the sky.

Of course, the simple tent and the transfer magic circle within it had been removed.

While snake-footed, Jen was finishing up a snack before Arnold and the others came back.

So, where's the 'Border River's source'?

"It's probably the saddle of Mount Sukhont and Mount Toconacon."

"Um, on the map... oh, here."

Ren projected the map on the wall monitor and confirmed the position.

"That's a very precise map."... did you measure it from the sky? "

"That's what it is."... so, around here? "

Jen pointed on the map.

Probably not. If you go nearby and investigate the free magic (ether) movement again, you'll understand.

All right.

"Hurricane" flew all the way north.

The distance is about 200 kilometers, and a speed of 400 kilometers an hour takes 30 minutes.

"Oh, there's still snow..."

It is a world of silver as far as the eye can see.

At this latitude, at this altitude, it's still snowing.

"However, the source department is around here."Reiko, check again. "

Yes.

This time, Hope will continue to fly, and Reiko will be responsible for the investigation of the Magic Element Probe (ether radar).

And twenty minutes passed.

Free magic (ether) reaction underground.

"Did you find it?" How deep is it? "

This time, I was taking a triangulation before being asked, and I got a quick response.

About 150 meters below the surface.

"The elevation around here is..."

It's about 2,000 meters.

I see.

The snow seemed to be about three meters deep, and suddenly I hesitated to land Hurricane.

"I don't know what to do... partially melt or harden the snow"

"Wait a minute, Jin."

What's the matter?

Maybe this transfer magic circle is safe.

"I see... but how do I find it?"

"I have an idea."

And Arnold explained the idea to Jen.

"I activated a nearby Simple Magic Circle of similar nature."If there was another simple magic circle nearby, and it was similar in nature, it might react slightly... "

I see, you use something like magic resonance.

"That's what happens." Isn't there one that you just removed? "

“Yeah, it's on the tent floor, so I didn't turn it off.”

"You can use it, transfer it over there, and come back."

I see, it's worth a try.

Soon, we spread the floor for the simple tent on the floor of [Hurricane], and prepared the transfer magic circle.

"Deha, Washigaitekimas"

Command 1 bought the experiment himself.

Because if you transfer with the "mini mole", you will escape even if you can't return.

It actually has a transporter built in, so there is no problem with an escape from the basement of about 120 meters, but it is still a secret to Arnold and the others.

I think it's time to tell you something.

I have come to understand a lot of people for the sake of Arnold and the others, so I am thinking that if you can join the "Jin Family", it will be Jin.

"Deha, Ikimas"

The "Command 1" embarked on the "Mini Mole" entered the transfer magic circle, and when it was in the center, the magic circle activated, and the transfer disappeared.

Then, ten seconds later, it appeared again in the middle of the magic circle.

What do you say, Reiko?

"Yes, Father." There was a reaction a little bit upstream from here. "

"Oh, is that it?" Let's go anyway. Hope, please. "

Yes, Master.

Hope directed 'Hurricane' upstream.

There was a large crack in the root of the boulder at a point of about 2 kilometers.

Maybe it's in there.

Jen agreed with Arnold's guess.

The amount of snow in the vicinity was slightly less than one meter, and Cher said that he would look at it, so he lowered the altitude of the "hurricane" and stood still at one meter on the surface.

Cher opened the hatch and jumped off.

It will snow around my stomach, but I don't have any problems.

She scratched the snow and reached the boulder. She went in through the crack.
