Oukoku e Tsuzuku Michi

At the end of the door was a vast circular square.

The diameter is preferably about 90 or 100 m, and the ceiling, which was originally high, is further up to nearly 50 m.

"This is the deepest part... No, you don't actually have words when you see it."

Tristan shakes his head gently with a bitter laugh.

There are no lighting fixtures, just like the passage, but the brightness is even higher, and the color is white... no, light red... no, no, I don't know if the water color or the color is changing, I don't know it in a shade I've never seen before.

What is certain is that the lighting is bright but pale and more beautiful than I've ever seen before.

"Wow... I've been traveling ever since I wanted to see something like this... beautiful"

Nautia and others are going to cry.

My ears are also shaking, drooling and repeating erratically.

"There's so much space in the basement... how huge a force there was... it makes me horrible"

"Huh..."

Agor seems a little overwhelmed.

The squire also sticks perfectly to his waist.

……

I could see Mac taking a step backwards through the silence, and Celia wouldn't leave me while guarding her surroundings.

This place is so huge that even the Grand Hall of the Federation, on the contrary, is incomparable.

Instead of desk chairs, the fact that there are no small items emphasizes the larger size.

"No, there's only one thing: 'I'm here' or 'I am'...?

She stood at the center of the vast space.

He is about 150 cm tall, his hands and feet are appropriately slender and looks like a girl, including a child's face.

But the unlikely rainbow pastel-colored hair and pale peach eyes showed that she was not just a girl.

I wear white based clothes that stick perfectly to my body made of materials I have never seen, so the lines of my body are clearly out, but there seems to be little irregularity.

'I repeat. This is an Advanced Management Zone. Entrants are requested to communicate their names and titles'

It uttered words again.

It's a beautiful girl's voice, though mechanical without emotion.

We don't answer anything, we get together and stay alert.

"I hope the words are the same...... what do we do?

I look at Tristan.

I don't think I'd be convinced to say our names, titles or positions as captains.

"You're an automatic doll... you're the same kind of steel soldier you were earlier. I don't think they're attacking us because we opened the door by legitimate means, but we're asking for identification. If you find out you're an outsider here, maybe..."

I guess that's why I'm asking you.

It's useless, and if I could go home alive, I'd run out of beans every day. Besides, I'm gonna make the cook Iridina.

"I'll be happy to eat when I get home. Well, I have to lie. Speaking of difficult names and titles, it may coincide. Just like the other key, please."

I have a bad idea, but I don't think I have any other hands.

The name of this civilization is for sure - and you said something about an Advanced Control Zone.

'This is the final notice. Name and title. -'

"I'm Bill Tallow. He's the best man in the Advanced Control Zone!

How about this?

"Dear Agil...... Not really!

"Get ready to run!

"It's Jillville in the first place... Yes, start the fight"

"Sir Hardlett... it's like being blamed in the royal palace for naming John Goldonia or something"

Yeah, keep your mouth shut in the field.

The automatic doll shifts its gaze to me with complete facelessness.

"Unauthenticable -"

No. After all, Tristan's proposal didn't help.

But they never attacked me, and something didn't jump out of my surroundings, it just seemed like a second thought.

"The roster information is damaged. Unreconcilable with entrants. Confirmation work is impossible. Omit the authentication process - Welcome to Fortress Bados. It will be the first access in 153 days in 1057 since the last admission '

I don't know what you're talking about, but apparently it's outrageous.

"Was that OK? Yep..."

"Is ancient civilization dumber than I thought, or was there no one to lie to..."

My feet vibrate lightly as Nautia and Tristan glorify me.

"Moderate fatigue for two. Mild fatigue is confirmed for four people and rest is recommended '

The floor rises and the table and chairs appear.

A further obscure rectangular object rises and water flows out of it.

"Confirm mild dehydration to three people. Go ahead. '

A glass of material that has never been seen is given.

"You're smart."

"Yeah, I thought it was like" Vienna, Gashan, Coloscolos "because I said" automatic doll ""

I was the first to see that machine soldier.

Well, that expression loosened when I heard Celia's words, and it worked Nautia's words to make me grumpy.

Am I looking at it wrong?

"Go ahead."

"Oh, sorry."

That gives me a glass, too.

I stroke my hand naturally as I pretend to receive it.

Completely human skin and even warm. No sawdust or roughness at all, puffy girl's skin.

"Hmm."

Then I try to stroke my hair naturally.

Color is the unlikely color of man, but the comfort of touch is no different from that of man.

It's Sarah's hair, which passes well.

"I see."

Try stroking it naturally from shoulder to chest.

The texture of the clothes is strange, but underneath it was a soft girl's body, which could be confirmed with a slight swelling in her chest.

"Please refrain from excessive contact"

"Whoa!

There was no reluctance, but all of a sudden he shouted out loud and everyone looked at me with white eyes.

Hmmm... it's hard to tell without a look on your face.

"Leave Uncle Borderline's sketch alone. Let's get down to business."

Tristan gets up.

"You're the caretaker here, aren't you?

'I deny it. The highest authority is Senior Admiral Midekt, the highest authority is Admiral Guinung and Lieutenant General Atoei.'

Tristan continues with a slight twist in his head.

"You're in charge of maintaining the status quo, right?

'I affirm. I tentatively strive to retain central functions in the prolonged absence of authority holders'

You've never seen Tristan come in handy before.

And then Nautia tried to sneak the glass back in, but then she turned to it and rushed back to her desk to whistle it out.

"There are people who came in here before us, aren't there? They must be bringing out all sorts of things..."

'Confirming. Continuous intrusion into the facility by a total of 15455 people from 106 days ago. We're stealing some storage weapons and miscellaneous goods.'

Did you know it all?

"Didn't you try to stop me?

'My top priority order is the preservation of the hub. The intruder was unable to break through the alert system and determined that there was no threat to the hub. And I am forbidden to leave the Highly Administered Zone.'

I see. Was the first passage as good as the garden or the window we were talking about?

"I see... so. We're interested in some stolen weapons."

Tristan spreads the scroll.

"Warning, check fungi and odors above standards. Schedule an Emergency Cleaning"

"Ha... you stink. So... here it is."

Tristan refers to a weapon written in a scroll.

"The image is unclear and cannot be confirmed."

"Ah...... ummm. So what's in the weapon that looks the best in this shape?

"Type A-7 Magic Artillery is applicable. Type R-12 diffusion control magic cannon is applicable. '

"Any portable weapon similar in shape to a spear held by a soldier..."

It's an S-12 Infantry Control Magic Rudder.

It came out light enough to clap out, but I feel uncomfortable.

"Later… are there machines that would strengthen already built city walls and fences?

'Applicants from PP-3 to PCP-16 apply. All are applied to form a strong dermal membrane on the surface of the substance, protecting it from damage and deterioration'.

"I wonder what would happen to that applicator if the stuff I applied broke?

"If it is damaged more than a certain amount, it is considered discarded and is a specification that loses strength"

Tristan smiles bitterly and opens his hands.

"End of story. I figured it all out. Looking forward to collecting and analyzing the material... no, I was ready."

You certainly weren't upset. There's something I can't help but feel uncomfortable...

But the key thing is not yet.

Looks like it's my turn from here on out.

"Yes! I can't help but make a drawing of the weapon. More importantly, countermeasures."

"That's your name."

I say with a smile to the girl.

Celia's making a scene back there, but wait a minute.

"T-99, it's an automatic doll with facility retention and management assistance."

It's hard to call names by symbols even when they say T-99.

"T-99... [Tikku] So what do you say?

When Nautia shrugs, it... no, Tikku's neck spins 180 degrees to look at her.

Did you also have such a function?

"Hih!

Nautia rushes the glass back to her desk. Do you want it so much?

"The official name cannot be changed. - So I'll register it as a secondary name."

Could you have liked it?

Well, Celia's making a scene, too. Let's get back to business.

"This weapon is just an applicator. It's been brought up and it's making a little noise. Destroyed or powerless, but what am I supposed to do?

"Both A-7 and R-12 are not very strong. With more than a certain amount of physical and magical impact, it's easy to destroy. '

"I'm asking because I can't get close..."

I follow Tristan.

"Ahhh... I wonder what I would do if this weapon was stolen or if the troops with it rebelled? If you don't want to do as much human damage as you can."

We're sending a stop order from this facility to all weapons.

My shoulder drops when you say that from the beginning.

"Then could you send it to me now?

Ares soldiers may be wearing out on the ground while we're doing this.

Then Tikkuk looks at me from the front.

If you look closely, your pupils are moving mechanically. You're still not a person.

"Bill Tallow. Are you the Fortress Management Authority?

"No, you're not. And change my name to Agil."

Tikkuk nods cocklessly.

"Special protocols will be applied in order to retain the fortress. Eigil, are you an administrative sequencer?

"That's different, too."

He changed his name properly.

"Apply emergency manual to special protocols. Are you a fortress officer?

Tikku's eyes peek like he's about to complain.

I found out who the discomfort was.

"Oh, yes, I am."

As soon as possible, Tikku's expression soothes.

"Apply for special protocols and emergency manual application from T-99 to the current supreme authority. T-99 approves this. Remotely shut down the demon weapon. '

A desk with countless projections from what appears on the floor, and Tikku begins to operate somehow.

"It's about time...... Bye!!

Only Tikku's neck spins gleefully as the intrigued nurtier sneaks out to reach for it and continues to operate.

The range of motion in the neck is 360 degrees.

"Send a stop signal to the demon-guided weapon. All weapons outside the fortress have been stopped. '

"That's it, or it's a shame"

Everyone's expression soothes, including mine.

This has generally achieved the purpose of diving so far.

If that weapon had stopped on the ground, Ares wouldn't be worried anymore.

"I have a stubborn wall problem..."

"The applicator is designed to lose its effectiveness by applying a constant or higher voltage for dismantling."

What is voltage?

"There's no demonic element, so it's impossible to disable it remotely."

Then you have to smash it... this could be a bone.

But if all the weapons of light stop, there is a way to do it.

"So do you want to go back?

"Yeah, already!?

Nutia panics when Celia says.

When I see the reaction, Agor and Mac want to go home.

Tristan looks like he wants to stay a little longer.

But most importantly...

"Please refrain from excessive contact"

Tikku is between me and the door for some reason. I see.

"It's funny if it's a new weapon because I'm here."

I'll joke and say it.

"First Armory Expansion"

The edges of the square flourish on a massive scale, resulting in an incomparable mass of desks and chairs.

What a strange thing to be lined up in.

The rear part has a mechanism and handles that are not well understood, from which the thin cylinder extends for a long time.

The top is fitted with something like a peephole.

"M102 assault guns have 15,000 available stockpiles."

"No, you don't know how to use this..."

Then another place will rise.

"The second arsenal is stockpiled with gunpowder weapons, including two hundred multiplexed rocket guns and one hundred M155 heavy machine guns."

"I don't even know what you're talking about anymore. You can't take it home because it looks heavy."

Then Tikkuk leans just slightly.

"Genocide cannon cannons in the Third Armory are forbidden to deploy outside the direct orders of Senior Admiral Midekt even in an emergency."

"M... I don't know what it is, but let's get one for the memorial."

"Is that a spear because it has a blade on it first? No, but with this finesse, we can't use it in action."

"... the handles are too small for me"

Nautia, Agor, and Mac were doing it all over again, but in the end, only Nautia m... seems to manage to bring home just one thing.

Celia tapped lightly on something like a big cylinder clumped together and seemed disinterested.

"This... should be stopped. You shouldn't take it home. But even though it's all war, it's gonna be a big deal when this stuff gets out on the ground."

Tristan sits deeply in the chair after grumbling somewhat.

"There's no more swords or spears, not something I don't know what that means?

I can't use it if I get something weird.

"Sword, spear - stockpile not applicable. Expand your search - General Guinung's personal effects

Now the ceiling comes down in a narrow range, not on the floor.

From there emerged......

"Is that a spear?

"Looks like it."

"Demon Spear Keravnos. There is no detailed data because it is not a controlled reserve."

The length is about 3.5 m, of which about 80 cm at the tip is the blade portion, with seven extremely sharp blades of shallow angle arranged at equal intervals so as not to interfere with the side of the main tip of the ear. Is it a spear for punching and cutting out more than both?

The whole thing is silver and glowing like a dual crater.

Although dual craters have no shadow to see now.

The weight is not heavy at about 40 kg. I would be able to swing enough with one hand of this.

"Strength is... well, maybe it'll be okay"

I don't even think it's especially for rituals as long as I waved it twice or three times.

"It's a little achievement. I'll take it."

"Yes, General Guinun died 1057 years ago. We have no communication of inheritance, so the statute of limitations waives the right to the goods in question. '

That's good.

If he died a thousand years ago, he wouldn't have turned into a spear rush.

Let's go home, then.

"" "Yes!

Celia and Agor, Mac respond well.

Tristan looks around the whole thing with a complicated face, and Nautia wraps a bath of bread around her neck, staring at her ticks and sweating cold.

Everyone leaves the door early.

And I was about to leave the room, too.

Sleeves are picked a little.

"... hmm?

Tikku was grabbing my sleeve with no expression.

Would you have done something?

'You have been certified as a fortress officer. You can't leave.'

Increases the power to grab the sleeve.

Tension runs on everyone, but I was the only one who didn't have anything.

She's not trying to lock me up or do any harm.

It was unnatural from the start if you think about it.

It was also odd that he was deluding ID verification as having no roster information.

Even though we couldn't really identify ourselves by giving up a hundred steps, we're supposed to be recognized as just stronghold personnel, one soldier, but we can't easily show the information on the weapon or the contents of the arsenal.

"You knew this place was abandoned, didn't you?

"I'm T-99, and the mission is to retain the Fortress Central. Orders are in effect, ongoing '

Tikku seemed pleased with the chair out, the water out, and the stare at Nautia.

Even when I said automatic dolls, they weren't like the inorganic guys I fought along the way.

"There will be no more people here. You knew everything."

'Fortress personnel are not allowed to leave. Disallowed'

Repeatedly, Tikku follows Tokotoko as he grabs his sleeve, but I step out the door.

You wanted to get out of here.

"Outside the Zone… Continue Existing Mandate…… Continue"

Tikuk stops perfectly at the edge of the room and also releases the sleeve he was grabbing.

Her eyes staring at me with nothing but Leopold's faceless expression, of course no tears, no shaking eyes, only mechanically moving pupils.

But the atmosphere clearly conveyed sorrow and pleaded with me.

I give my hand out the door.

"You want to come with me?

After a moment of pause, Tikkuk tilts his head one by one, left and right, and then rotates it one by one at the end.

"Hih!?

"I'll be surprised, don't do that."

It has a stronger impact because it only looks like a human being.

"Apply to move out of compartment. Foundational orders and disobedience, impermissibility. Apply special wartime decree. Set the current supreme authority to Agil. Not on the roster - judged data corrupt, additional input. Orders. '

Tikku stares at me with a full look of anticipation without a look on his face.

That's a lot easier to understand than Leopold.

"Follow me, Tikuk. We're leaving here."

"Overwrite the basic order. T-99, we're on a new mission.

Tikkuk took a step that was unsuitable for more than a thousand years and jumped over the border of the door.

On the way home, Tikkuk was right on the line.

Even so, it is not voluntary.

"Please refrain from excessive contact"

Whether Nautia is not exhausted of interest in Tikku, on her back from earlier, or pulling her hair, each time she is issuing a warning.

"Isn't that nice? All the traps have been disarmed, and you won't have time to go home."

Tristan says with a hock-face.

I guess he's in a good mood because of the brick thick book Mac carries.

They say it's an official Jillville history book, and since I was ordered to accompany them, Tikku has allowed me to take things out.

Of course it's not on her face, but she's pretty tense.

Wouldn't humans be skipping?

"... I'm not a waste of horses"

Mac's in a good mood with that being said.

Looks like everyone got something besides my spear and Tristan books.

"Excessive contact is - final warning. Any further contact is considered an attack."

Nautia jumps away in a hurry and hides behind me.

"It's easy not to have a trap, but you're free."

"Will Master Agil say that..."

"Trap Activation Chance 91%"

Hey, Tikku, what did I just say?

I guess I wasn't looking at it all.

You smelled human as soon as I let you out.

"That's it for the chatter. There are no traps, but it's time for the entrance to be close. There must be a Meldra soldier."

Agor's warning is a little late, and we'll bowl in with the three Meldra soldiers who show up from the side alley.

"And intruder!?

"I'm from the back! Oh, my God!"

Against enemy soldiers pulling out swords, we pull out swords too.

But sooner than that, the rainbow rushes towards the enemy soldiers.

"Found an intruder. Immediate elimination"

It was Tikku who was running.

Blunt mechanics and such are incomparable.

Faster than Celia or me.

"Damn!?

Tikkuk clashes with the momentum that runs to his first enemy.

Enemy soldiers who were supposed to have pulled their swords out first can't react to anything, and are blown to the wall to extinguish them.

"Hey, what the fuck is this guy!!

The next enemy wields a sword in the dark cloud, but Tikku steps left and right at such a rate that he can see the remnants, avoiding them all.

"Exclude, exclude"

And when I grabbed the enemy soldier's sleeve, I spun him around with great momentum and slammed him to the floor.

Awesome power. What would have happened if you had been seriously pulled when you grabbed my sleeve earlier.

"This guy! Eat your stuff!

The last enemy soldier pointed a magical wand at Tikku.

Not even during the warning, the fireball hit her directly in the head.

The impact shakes the air, the flames rise high and reach the ceiling.

"Did you do it!?

But when the smoke scattered, there stood an intact tick.

"S12's firepower can't damage me. Eliminate."

Tikkuk pushed his hand into the carotid artery as it was grabbed by the enemy soldiers, causing them to graduate.

She said it was an automatic doll for management, but it's very strong.

"But you don't seem to kill."

Agor says.

Indeed, Tikkuk seemed to be brazenly relieved.

Wouldn't you kill him... though the trap was coming for it.

"Destroying the human body with a physical shock will splash blood and fat. This is a normal passage, so there is no processing mechanism and the hygiene environment may deteriorate. They put it in the disposal system and finishing it."

Ancient civilization was not sweet.

"But leave them alone. We have to get back up there."

The demon weapon should have stopped, but the city walls are still alive and the battle doesn't know what's going to happen.

I don't have time to kill people who are losing their minds.

"We don't know about the situation outside the fortress, but is there a battle going on?

"Oh, pretty massive."

Tikku won't even know that our war is neglected and that there is a Meldra city state over his head.

"Now we will use escort combat power. T88-02, 03 Startup"

When Tikkuk says that and puts his arms around him, the sound of the ground approaches.

The one who showed up...

"" "Giant Mechanic!

All voices align.

He has an axe of 20 m in length, 5 m in his right hand, and an arrow-sized crossbow in his left hand.

Tikkuk jumps on the shoulder of a giant mechanic.

"Order Search and Destroy. Eliminate all existing threats"

Copy that.

A response that should be more a sound than a voice in a monotonous manner than a tick returns from a giant mechanical soldier.

Tikkuk moves on to the entrance as he sounds ground.

"Hey, if it's everything, you'll get rid of Ares, too! Rather, they just look barbaric and enemy!

"Oh, let's go after him!

We rushed after Tikku.
