Reworld•Frontier-Saijakuni Shite Saikyou no Shien Jutsu Shiki Tsukai [Enhancer]

In the meantime, I wanted to report back to you within that day - if you want to apologize, I never went over there early - and as soon as I broke up with Mr. Rosé, I almost returned to Hanu's apartment.

luxury apartment in the central district, on its ground floor.

call on intercom,

'... ho? What's the matter, Rat? Oh, wait a minute. Don't open it now. "

Have the auto lock door open,

"Oh, excuse me."

"I've been here a lot. What's the matter, is something wrong? Hmm? Or did you get lonely and want to see your concubine's face?

Hannu flies a joke with a smile and laugh at the front door.

Apparently, he's delighted with his sudden visit.

Well, that, too, was until I went up to the room and cut out the story.

- Lato, get back there.

Once I explained the situation for a moment, Hannu's voice became surprisingly low.

Like the smile I just gave you is a lie, fingering the floor with a faceless look like Nobu.

"Yes, sir"

I didn't take the fool of starting excuses right away and, as I was told, sat upright on the flooring.

Before me like that, Hannu put his arms together and royally stood. I guess it's because I'm in my room, now I'm in an elegant kimono without a jacket.

"... it's Lato. I know you do, but concubines love sweets."

A voice as if it were a faraway lightning bolt - would that be too exaggerated? Anyway, a voice so powerful that it didn't seem like a little girl was emanating from Hannu's throat.

"Yes..."

Whatever they say, I have to shrink. [M] Clasp your neck and nod small to avoid any further irritation.

"That's a sweet treat too. Yes, I like it... it's still a shallow day to be here, but it's still something I ate."

Why are you talking about sweets here? What a question, but I couldn't say anything because I felt like it would make me unnecessarily angry if I asked.

Then Hannu told me the answer to the question.

"- Bye, it's Lato. That's why you think the concubine's body is made of sweets? Is that sugar water flowing through you? Are these eyes candy balls? Is the bone chocolate? Is the meat pancakes?

I mean, it was a far-flung irony. I thought I was watching Hannu sweetly. [M]

"No, is the spirit of concubine marshmallows? Is your soul a cake? Is your heart almond tofu? Hmm? What do you say? What do you think? Yeah? Answer me."

"....................................................................................................................."

I sweat out of my pores all over my body, and the words of my apology are indescribable.

- Not good.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

What is this? What is this? This is unprecedented. What is this power? I'm so scared.

I no longer have to doubt it. Hannu is now more furious than ever.

When people are genuinely angry from the bottom of their hearts, they say that people don't go wild without darkness, but rather become quiet in the event of an explosion. That's exactly what Hanu did now.

If you say bad things, that's really the end of the blast.

Words had to be chosen carefully.

"... hey, I don't know... I mean..."

I think. Maybe Hanu this morning, too, said I was, "Are you serious? When I said," Did you feel this way?

――

The moment I thought about it that way, the words to say were narrowed to one.

After all, let's not make excuses.

I put my hands forward from my seated position and lowered my head.

- I'm sorry. I'm totally sorry.

…………

Yes. Even Hannu apologized to me right then. Then it's polite for me to do the same.

Take a dugout and a few secads. Overhead, I found Hannu exhaling small.

"... good. Forgive me and send. Because the concubine is forgiven by Lato once today. Now come on."

"Hanu......!

Unexpectedly happy with the mixed voice of bitter laughter, he looks up.

My friend was laughing like a jerk. [M]

"Let's not make a bad excuse and praise him for honestly apologizing. That cleanliness is good. If you're going to get away with this and say," I went alone, not alone, so it shouldn't be a problem, "the concubine was really going to get mad at you."

"- Oh, haha... well, I never even thought about that!? Ho, it's true!?

Oh, it was dangerous. - Whoa! I'm so glad I didn't make a bad excuse - heh!!

While I felt like standing on a cliff and glimpsing the bottom of the valley, I was a little concerned, so I asked.

"Oh, um... by the way, if I was making a weird excuse, what exactly... what...?

"Hmm? Of course that's..."

Hannu stared at me with such a streamlined stream that she didn't think she was a child, she carved a grin in her mouth.

And then [smiley geometry] runs on its face.

"Live in the atmosphere, spirits. To my call." I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm sorry about the book.

The sound of a cold spirit made me feel like I was going through the flooring with my forehead.

"And that loltrinse, what the hell? What's up, man?

When I managed to stop Hannu's manoeuvre to be let go without a clue, and I was comfortable, the story finally got to the point.

Nevertheless, the question was too vague for me to ask back.

"What do you say?

"Are you strong?

What a straightforward question. Well, Hanu wants strength in the terms of the members he puts in the cluster, so naturally so.

I thought about it for a second.

"... I'm strong. Maybe, but as a handler, you're top notch, aren't you? I wasn't scared at all, even near the front line of Lunatic Babel... Oh, speaking of which, he said his birthplace was near Dragon Forest, so maybe he's used to seeing strong SBs?

I don't know what other handlers are capable of, but I didn't strengthen the support technique like I did, and I hurt Peruton so much with my bare hands. Simply as one explorer, I think Mr. Rose is strong.

Besides, if Mr. Rose's base of activity was Dragon Forest before he came to this floating city Float Rise, I'm convinced of that strength.

Dragon Forest, as its name suggests, is a vast forest where fantasy dragons manifest themselves.

Of course, other SBs don't even appear, but that ratio is just under 20%. The odds of being bowled together with a dragon are overwhelming compared to other places.

And as everyone imagines, the Dragon SB is always very powerful. From what I hear, even the smallest dragon to pop into Dragon Forest - the so-called Lesser Dragon - has the power of a quasi-gate keeper. If this is what the legendary dragons call the finest dragons - the emperors - then their power is no longer the domain of God alone.

said Mr. Rose. [I'm used to solos],. I mean, maybe she's been exploring in that Dragon Forest all her life solo.

Considering that, he is a formidable man of strength.

Hanu nodded intriguingly at my story.

"Hmmm...... if Rato says so much, I guess he has quite a sight"

"Yeah, it was amazing. Oh, but once I explain..."

I explained the handler to Hannu in detail. The strength of the handler is basically dependent on the strength of the SB used over the person. That his qualities as an engineer are questioned to a greater extent than his ability to operate or the quality of Photon Blood. I can only enter simple commands for the SB I serve, and it's not very user-friendly. that if you miscontrol, your allied SB will attack you as an enemy in reverse - etc.

"- Well, there are various weaknesses, like my support technique, but conversely, it's also a very [usable] technique, depending on how you use it."

"Hmm."

Hannu's golden-eyed silver eyes, followed, deviate to the bottom right. Apparently, he's thinking of something.

I'm sorry to say it myself, but Hanu is much smarter than I am. With the amount of knowledge I have about Explore, I'm better up there now, but I'm sure I'm no match for Hannu for good driving. I'm guessing she's thinking about Mr. Rose's "utilization" with that brilliant brain right now.

The other day, Hannu appointed me as the leader of the cluster. However, I believe that the substantial top of the cluster will probably be Hanu. Because moving the 'body' called tissue starts with the 'head' at all times. A person with the power to think moves the organization. That is the stewardship of nature.

I have since explained Rosé's astonishing powers, his talents, his chains, his "recycling", his "kernel jack" and other techniques.

Then, after hearing everything, Hannu thought a lot, and suddenly laughed.

"- All right. Aye, okay. Tomorrow we shall meet with the man named Rosé, and we shall find out for ourselves."

I had fierce anxiety before stroking down my chest at the words spouted with an invincible grin.

I'm glad you were willing to meet her before I promised Mr. Rosé I'd 'Explore with you tomorrow'.

"Oh, you know, Mr. Hannu...?

"Hmm? What rat? It's weird."

"Yes, no? I don't think so. For once, huh? Look, just in case, there's something I need to check on, okay?

"... what are your eyes like to see even that creepy thing? Yeah, don't waste a lot of time telling me to hurry up."

I asked Hannu, smiling and pointy lips, thoughtfully.

"-Hey, weird thing, I didn't even plan it... right?

It's a secret.

I was stunned when she gave me back my hair. [M]

…………

Looking at me like that, Hannu looks really happy, hoisting her mouth corner.

"Rest assured, Lato. I can't do it like it's bad. Oh, by the way, that's a different story, but how do you use this? I've been meaning to ask you."

This is the end of the story, and the topic has been changed to gallery.

What a white finger pointed at like Hanu's marshmallow was a small black pictogram on the living room wall.

As soon as I saw it, I was good at it and answered her questions.

"Oh, oh... that's an AR board. It's an embedded ceremony, so you're marked there. Uh, how to use it -"

I decided to let Hannu actually use the AR board to explain how to use it. Even so, I'm just talking about getting the unique address of the AR board in "SEAL" and sending the command.

"-AR boards have a variety of fine features, well basically, do they often use them as televisions? For example…"

Launch the AR board from my SEAL. A large screen board of about 60 inches appears as a shared augmented reality in the sight of me and Hannu. I have now launched a TV feature on the black screen and have appropriately accessed the news programs currently being delivered.

"Oh! I've seen it. This is the guy in front of the security room the other day, isn't it?

"Yes, yes. If you're just looking at the footage that's being delivered personally," SEAL "is enough, but when you look at [one footage for everyone], you still have to have an AR board."

"I see. Yeah, Lato, I'm gonna borrow your knees."

"Huh?"

At this point, after I apologized in the dungeon and asked for forgiveness, I immediately broke my leg and was walking on the flooring.

Quick as I can tell, Hannu looked at me like that in his seat and sat down on his leg.

My tiny body just fits into my nose, and Hanu's back and my stomach snuggle together.

"Wow, this is not a good place to sit."

――――

I lose my words in a different way than I just did to Hannu, who started watching AR boards with his back of his head in my chest.

It's still new to my memory that I was kissed on my left cheek to thank Hercules for helping me and passed out shortly after that.

It's a funny story while I'm at it. If you want to hold a sleeping hanu or walk on your back, you could have done it without shame.

And yet I can't believe how dodgy it is to just be sat on my lap like this.

"??? Urato, this only comes out in letters?

Hannu's silver hair fluttered right under my jaw and her golden-eyed silver eyes looked up innocently. [The smell of Hannu] drifting from my beautiful hair tickles my nasal cavity. Behind the chest, an indescribable sensation arises.

Seeing, her fingers were pointing to the AR board.

"- What? Oh, uh, this is... yeah, right. This is the most recent news list, so if you follow the link, there should be a newscaster or some kind of footage..."

Me and Hanu are aligned and pointing at each other, and the large AR screen is lined with strings. The auto-read feature also allows you to listen to the content audio, but it was turned off by default.

The current screen is called the show menu. You can check out the obscure news here and read it straight away, or if you select 'Real-Time News' on the menu, it's a mechanism by which you can see the news programs that are currently being delivered themselves, as their name suggests.

I manipulated the AR board from my "SEAL" and selected "Real-Time News" at the end of the menu.

The screen switches all the time and the video is shown.

"Oh, I saw it."

"- Rescue efforts are currently continuing in the city of, and the number of casualties has already exceeded 3,000 -"

The serious voice of the newscaster pours out, but my head overhears most of that sound.

That was not the case.

Wouldn't this chest thrill pass on to Hannu? I mean, what do you think of little girl opponents like Hanu? Wouldn't this really make rumors of no roots or leaves flowing in the world? No, no, no, no, I'm not supposed to be that kind of person - I was in a hurry or anxiety driven, for example.

However,

"... Lato, that's... what?

Hannu's whisper of a rapid sense of urgency blew my clutter like that.

"What?"

Again, what her index finger points to is an AR screen that streams news shows.

But the moment I saw the sight there, I was breathtaking, too.

"- Nah..."

Destroyed city - if you describe it in a nutshell as you see it, it will.

Footage taken overlooking from a high position. As if caught in a war, the building is broken and smoke is rising from everywhere. But if that's all - I hate to talk about it - it's a common landscape in conflict areas.

But the footage that popped into our eyes,

"... why is there an SB (Security Bot) here...?

There were dozens, dozens, dozens of SBs roaming the city, from the familiar to the first type I saw.

"Whew, Lat... Is this a common thing...?

Hannu hears the surprise of not falling to his heart. I shook my neck sideways as I nailed it to the AR screen over her head.

"Ugh, yeah... it's impossible, because - [SB can't be embodied outside the ruins] it's supposed to be..."

The reason why SB must be present at sites around the world has not yet been figured out. Naturally, so is that mechanism.

"Information embodied components", which are a source of income for us explorers and must now be used for human life.

This just dives into the ruins and knocks down the SB, so that it can continue to be retrieved as extended as it seems infinite.

But nothing will come of it. This is an absolute law even in components that are not objects.

In other words, there must be a [mechanism] behind each ruin that is producing an SB. Also the [source] of energy that makes it possible.

Their elucidation is also one of our Explorer missions.

If we can supply extreme stories, information embodying components in a different way, we don't have to fight dangerous battles with the SB. Because that's what archaeologists and lovers have to leave to themselves, like the secrets of the ruins and the truth about the world.

However, there are a number of laws that we do not yet know the generating mechanism of the component, but still find out.

One of them is' SB only embodies inside the ruins'.

'Can't embody' to be precise? Probably because there is no [mechanism] for activating the components, which are the core of the SB, and no [source] of energy needed to embody them, outside the ruins.

Still, if there's an exception...

"- The footage shows a flock of dozens of bodies, as in, in fact, more than a thousand of them had appeared in the city. It should be noted that these monsters were disposed of by the army, which quickly rushed, and that rescue operations are now continuing while safety has been ensured. At that time, the damage sustained by the military was significant, and according to the announcement, the casualties in the battle were - '

- There is only one way to embody SB outside the ruins. I had that in my eyes today. [M]

Forget all the floating feelings you had just had, one person stunned by the possibility that came to mind.

- It's a handler.

Yes, if you're a handler like Rosé, it's possible to use a surgical formula to embody SB outside the ruins.

But if the word of the newscaster is true, the number of SBs that attacked the city in the footage is over a thousand. It's a hell of a scale to not be able to see the first of the ruins. Not a very good number with one or two handlers.

That means we should see a pretty large number of handlers involved - as I've said before, the absolute number of handlers is small. I mean...

"... Could it be...!

I couldn't wait and went back from real-time news to the program menu, looking for something about the incident from the list of articles. Select the latest one from it and look through.

It was a good idea.

Being able to do this kind of work is too limited, and if you think about it for a second, everyone immediately realizes it.

I guess that's why. [The killers] even dared to make a 'crime statement' themselves.

His name is...

"-? Lato, what's up? Aren't you shivering?

…………

Woohoo, how could you not have noticed? I certainly knew the name. [M] As knowledge, you were supposed to be in a head drawer. Why didn't you immediately remember Mr. Rosé's name when you asked him?

Terrorist groups who made an unprecedented 'crime statement' with the outrageous case of 'recycling' SB to attack the city where people live.

It was either world-famous - or almost the only [cluster made up of handlers alone].

It's called...

"Volkling Circus"

"I'll get in your way, Cal."

Karellen Olstead glanced sideways at the beautiful woman who came into the room with a cheerful voice without a knock and immediately glanced back at the footage she had seen until earlier.

No matter how neat and conspicuous she is, she - the world-famous sword lady Villy, Victoria van Fredericks, is his childhood friend. And she and he are also the heads and deputy heads of the Knights of Pale Red Flames. I was tired of seeing faces, etc.

"... what's wrong, Captain? It's rare to come from you."

Currently, NPK rents a whole floor of luxury hotels in the Central District as a hub of activity. He responded a little tossed while sitting in his chair to his boss, who came all the way to one of those rooms, the one he had assigned to Karellen.

"Hey, you don't have any other members here. Be normal, be normal."

"- Oops, I was. I'm sorry, my usual habits."

Normally, there are also the eyes of my men, so I use respectful language with moderation, but the original two were unmindful of the relationship.

Karellen turns to Villey instead of apologizing and asks again.

"So, what can I do for you, Villy? I can't believe you came to me without sarcasm."

"Cal, I came all the way out here to ask you because you're not really coming to explain. What the hell do you mean, the whole thing?

"? What are you talking about?

Karellen tilted her neck unintentionally at Villey, who approached her by stepping on a carpet with long hairy feet.

The time is already close to dinner.

Even today, 'NPK' used to collect components at Lunatic Babel until about two awatts ago, but unlike then, both Villey and Karellen dress each other in a simple and easy way. Still, the trademark, the golden blonde ponytail, stays put, pointing his deep red gaze like a needle and Villy exhales.

"It's about you, Rag. The fact that you refused to join him without consulting me of any kind. When are you gonna give me an explanation?

"Oh, that's the story"

I clapped it out, and Karellen sighed.

Villey's eyesight increases sharpness in that attitude and her voice's barometric pressure decreases.

"Oh, that's not the story. What are you really going to do? I don't know if I have any ideas because I'm talking about you, but how many times have I told you to explain it properly in that case..."

"Description and nothing, as I said on that occasion."

The novel was going to be long, so Karellen blocked her words and said so.

"To the brave Beowulf, Princess Xiaolong. Those kids are strong. No, it's too strong. That's why, on the contrary, it's dangerous."

The complaining, truncated form of Villey, dares not go into the matter.

"... that means you're afraid of betrayal or subversion?

Karellen's voice returned to this question, which seemed a little surprised.

"No? Anyway, if it's a simple power comparison," battle "won't be the first time you and I lose. That's exactly what you told Princess Xiaolong back then." The battle cannot be determined by simple power alone ". No matter how powerful and talented they were, you don't feel like fighting and losing. - Not yet."

Villey reacts with deafness to the last, arguably extra word.

"Not yet? Somewhat passive. You think you're gonna lose in the future?

"Of course, there's no denying the possibility of the future. Just..."

"Just?"

"... those two are just rough shreds yet. That's the original stone stage in terms of gems. Do you polish and glow or do you not glow? is it another play, and it explodes into some kind of applause"

Karellen looked far away and turned her consciousness to the inside of herself. Digging back on the matters I considered in my heart a few days ago.

"If you were with them, how would you roll ahead? Will holding them be positive or negative? Also, will being with us be a plus or a negative for them? There could be an intertwined list of those elements, the worst for us, the dissolution of Nights - that's what I've been thinking about. - Right, let's be honest. I [couldn't have predicted] what the future would be like if I let them join the group. That's why I didn't want them to join the group. - Well, that's the best reason."

Both my body and lid told the story, and the danger that I had been stopping at Villey's eyebrow root loosened.

"... frightened. Cal, I was wondering what kind of reason you have because it's about you... it's too much of a rationale for emotional theory."

Villey's sarcasm, Karellen grinned lightly.

"When you're as rational as I am, you see that reason is nothing but an emotional attachment. Nevertheless, this alone will not satisfy you, Villy. Actually, there are other reasons."

"? You still got something?

To the neck tilting Villey, Karellen nods as she pulls her jaw.

"I'm going to reinforce the reason I just said... look at this first"

Karellen manipulates the room's AR screen from "SEAL" and starts streaming certain footage.

Villey turned behind the chair where Karellen sat and looked over his shoulder to the video.

"This is... oh, Rag, from when you fought the 200-story gatekeeper."

"Is the name" Hercules "given by the son-in-law's" Broadcaster "? I know it's weird to say, but it's also weird that whoever defeats a hero is called a hero."

Villey ignored the second half of Karellen's dialogue,

"But you've seen this many times already, right? So I guess that's what you said, huh? Rug, you're using a supportive technique, but you're having multiple simultaneous startups, so it seems to have an explosive effect."

"Oh. And fortunately, the unusual weakness of surgery, which is only a weakness in nature, seems to make it possible to suppress Photon Blood's consumption in a row," he said.

"Rag, your talent for surgical control meshes well with the weakness of your surgical skills, which are normally only faults. Well, if it was strong, it would have been strong, and I think that would have been quite a strength again."

"-But apparently, his talent isn't just for monstrous surgical control."

…… What do you mean? "

Karellen lets the jade eyes have a cold glow when it comes to ice. He stares at the boy on the AR screen who shows the icon like a splash from all over his body and activates it, and he mouths the analysis.

"For example - Villy, the support technique is very effective as a tactic, but for some reason it is not popular among explorers. On the contrary, it is even repelled. What's the reason?

In the face of a sudden question, Villey turned the drawer of her memory upside down to look for answers.

"That's... basically because with exceptions like you, Rug, Photon Blood is also severely depleted, and the body strengthening system in particular makes your body feel weird and you can't move well... right? Oh, and if you overlap too much, there's a risk of suicide bombing.

"But in our nights, we use duplicate support, especially for big guys like gatekeepers. How are you doing then?

"That's... that's what I said earlier." You're using it at a pinpoint to avoid suicide bombings. Speaking of which, that's what box-cong was all about. "

"That's right. Too strong a force risks destroying itself. It also leads to why I don't want Beowulf and Princess Xiaolong in the Nights around here - aside from that, you're right. The timing of using the assistive technique is only a few secads. Furthermore, the attack method is limited to the technique to prevent suicide bombing."

"Right. If it's a swordsmanship ceremony, the surgery ceremony will support the movement of the body, so something that doesn't allow extra force. If you wave your sword normally with Strength on top of each other ten times, your arm will fly a thousand times."

"But - Beowulf makes it possible. Probably because they use" Protection "in addition to" Strength. "

The movie on the AR screen showed exactly how the boy stood around using three assistive techniques to strengthen himself. Villey exhales with admiration as she looks at it.

"This is how you use it, isn't it? Can't we take advantage of it?

Karellen, who received the impressive voice of Villey in the back of her head, waved slowly and for the first time.

"But it's [crazy]. Once again, I have studied it in detail, but the supporting technique" Strength "is a technique that enhances attack," Protection "is a technique that enhances defense, and" Rapid "is a technique that enhances agility."

"? What's [weird] about that?

"Don't you see? The limit to which the support technique can be stacked on a single" SEAL "is up to ten times, but even then, it takes 1024 times more boost to calculate. In other words, in Beowulf's case, the force, defense and speed will all be enhanced up to 1024 times."

"?? I'm sorry, Cal. I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I mean, what's [crazy] about it?

"What I don't understand is that I get a thousand times more speed in Rapid. Okay? The Rapid technique increases the Speed of the Body, and it never enhances the Speed of the Spirit.

…………

Deep red eyes slowly open. The beauty of the sword lady is stunned.

Karellen continues.

"The force grows stronger, the strength of the flesh rises, and moves faster. But the human thought that manipulates it [is not fortified in any way]. But how could he move properly in such a state?

"- Lies, right...?

The brunette boy on the AR screen is fighting in a very natural motion, even if he is slowing down the speed at which the movie plays.

Villey thought it would all be accelerated by (rapids), including speed of thought, speed of reaction, and speed of neurotransmission, but if Karellen wasn't right, this would be an unusual sight.

Let's say, for example, that the enhancement factor was one, two, eight times higher. If so, this boy can take as many as one, two or eight steps in time to take his legs one step in normal condition.

Can it be manipulated precisely to this point without any support? In the footage, he runs around the security room narrowly, but how is it possible not to have legs and fall? Villey has no understanding at all.

Karellen squeaks like a solitaire.

"Possible possibilities include accelerating consciousness with incredible concentration? Or is it that the support technique he uses looks ordinary and is actually specially made? Or is there some trick to how to use the Rapid... No, the latter two are still impossible. Then again, should we see him not only as a surgical control, but as a monster capable of going to 'a thousand times more worlds'? Well, maybe that concentration is what makes that surgical control possible..."

Concentrate.

In the wake of that word, Villey recalled the term 'zone'.

Extremely increased concentration, he said, would very rarely stop subjective time. In sports terms, the ball stops in space during the competition to look. If it is a battle, know so that the enemy's movements are in hand. An area where all but one's time stops and sees - they call it a 'zone'.

If Karellen's analysis is in the middle, the boy named Ragdishardt will be free to enter and leave the 'zone'.

If you have enough concentration to wonder if the time around you is stopping, certainly, it will not be impossible to precisely control your own power, which has been enhanced hundreds of times.

There's a chill running down Villey's spine.

It seemed to her, in a way, more terrifying than being powerful or skilled.

"- It's a different story, didn't you think it was strange? Fight this 200-story gatekeeper, Hercules.

To the new question, Villey expressed her willingness to surrender with her shoulders flashed, no longer having to think about it.

How far does her childhood familiarity extend the range of that gaze? It was still difficult for Villey to follow the leap of thought that she couldn't follow in a regular person.

"... at all, your head turns really well. Something wrong with you?

Asking, more than half frightened, Karellen nodded and said strange things.

"I felt a strange [act]. An attack that cannot be removed by a decent attack, as well as an attack that cannot be defended by decent armor. A special field on which the surgical power is restricted. A transformation that Hercules used, supposedly of an ancient art ceremony - don't you think it's too much?

Villey returns to Karel Ren, who is in a mild condition.

"Too much is being done... is that an artifact made by the Ancients, both Lunatic Babel and Gatekeeper? I wonder if it's natural that there's an act there."

Ri, and Karellen nods.

"Oh, it's true that there are [acts] that are natural, but the [acts] are odd. Right... it's like being" tested "... or being" encouraged to grow or evolve... "

Karellen pinched the silence here once and placed it between like putting together her thoughts.

"- In the" Aigis "of the 100th layer, a new surgical formula was developed by the hero Seijeciel. In the 150th hierarchy, people learned the importance of uniting in large numbers to newly emerging gatekeepers, whether defeated or defeated. And in the 200th layer of Hercules, Beowulf got the victory with an excellent supporting technique - that is."

"In other words?"

"I believe that Hercules [was designed to be unwinnable if he didn't take advantage of the support ceremony]."

…………

Based on Karellen's idea, Villy will also try to tour her thoughts again. And as if tracing it, Karellen went on explaining.

"The surgical force restriction field appears to be an unfavourable condition that cannot be unleashed by a powerful attack technique, if only on one side. But that's not true only for support ceremonies. It's a great opportunity to reduce Photon Blood's drain and increase its use."

At the time Karellen cut the words, Villey spoke her own thoughts.

"... I'm in that surgery limiting field, a gatekeeper who can't win first if he fights normally. But if you fought using a support formula on a cluster-by-cluster basis, you were never the one to win - you mean?

"That's right. If there were a warrior who could train to handle supportive arts ceremonies and freely manipulate a fortified body like Beowulf, that Hercules would have been able to defeat him, even without him. And that was probably what [the designer] was after"

It was, and I would use the past form because, in a way, its aim is off. Hercules' designers must have never dreamed that it would just be made up of one boy, either, regardless of the use of a supportive technique. Because those six arms were a transformation that assumed a pair of many, no matter how you look at them.

"... we Explorers should have stepped forward for a while before Layer 200. No, it had to be. Do the right research, make the right evolution, and break through the trials. That was the [scenario] that the ancients had assumed. But one genius broke it from the side."

Karellen lowered her voice and, as she thinks so from the bottom of her heart, vomited a heavy word.

"Ragdishardt is a monster"

At the end of Emerald's gaze, the monster finally accelerated to such a speed that it couldn't even chase through slow regeneration that it finally blew up Hercules in an instant. More sophisticated video analysis will be needed to determine with what kind of attack the robust armor was pierced. I had already given the data to the experts, but I had no idea what time the result would be.

"Strong, and weak. A strange monster. I can't imagine how we're going to grow in the future. Even if we eventually get them to join us, that's not the time, at least. Besides, this is a discretionary guess, but they seem to grow rather faster leaving the field alone. That's not why..."

Should I say or not, Karellen seemed lost. But at the end of the patrol he said:

"The thoughts of the ancients and the boy who showed up there just fine, with the power to hit and put them on - as I said earlier, I feel a strange [act]. I can't even smell it anymore. Of course, there's no evidence to suggest a clear connection, and it's just an intuition, which is a lot less likely... but if there was any connection..."

As the word goes, I guess you're not sure. Karellen didn't even seem to say it, he said it badly with a tooth cut.

"I mean, Rag, if we're near you, there's gonna be a disaster for us - but?

"-Maybe. Anyway, I think it's reasonable to see what's going on right now. - That's it. Well, have you convinced me, my lord?

Looking back over his shoulder as he sat in the chair, Karellen gave a teasing grin.

Taking it, Villy engraves an invincible grin on her mouth. Deep red eyes emitted a strong light of will.

"I know exactly what you're trying to say. But, Cal, I told you before, didn't I? I'm convinced, but I'm not giving up. Instead, I'm not a pretty woman enough to be told that and kept quiet, I am. Whatever happens, at the end of the day, you have to follow my thoughts. Remember."

Karellen has no choice but to laugh bitterly at what can also be taken as a young deserter next door.

"I can't beat anyone. I don't know what you're worried about, but I don't know if they're monsters, but you just have to go beyond it all. So there's nothing wrong with that, is there?

"Right. Rationally, you're absolutely right."

Disseminating Villey's exaggerated attitude, Karellen changes the display of the AR screen. Video of the Hercules battle disappeared, and now an article in the news.

"... What's this?

"I found the perfect, funny-looking news for such an astute captain. I did some digging until you got here, and apparently we can't stay out of it either."

――――

Intrigued, Villey glances at the strings lined up.

There was an article written there quoting a statement of the crime issued by one terrorist group and the next notice of the crime.

The name of the terrorist group is' Volkling Circus'. The article appears to have originally been a cluster made up of only handlers, which are minor explorer types.

Speaking of what that group of handlers did, they embodied more than a thousand SBs and drove the regional city of Pangernia, the great power, into a state of devastation.

They were heralding that they would continue to target areas with sites from all over the world in order to build up new wars. The nearer the ruins, the more necessary, the more facilities to buy and manage components. They are declaring that they will raid there in the dark.

The number of victims at the moment is over 3000. To that number, Villy sharpened her eyes and ate her teeth.

"- Do you really want to come here?"

If so, it would be a pleasure, she thinks. As a knight, I was not niggardly enough to sin against you head-on.

Karellen, by contrast, does not break his chilling posture.

"That's a good chance. This is a floating city. Easy to protect and hard to attack. Once occupied, it is impeccable as a base of terror"

"Just what I want."

Villey's clear voice echoed indoors. Eyes that burn flames of rage glimpse through the forewarnings of the crime as they appear on the AR screen.

to a powerful dialogue, Karellen turned off the news and stood up,

"- Okay. Then shall we move on to" The Knights of Pale Red Flames "for a while tomorrow [not Explorer]"

Villey turns a blind eye to a delightfully familiar childhood.

"Oh, that's unusual. You don't disagree?

Karellen deliberately glanced over her shoulder and showed her.

"Either way, if we're going to get rid of SB, we're going to go to the ruins, we're going to greet the terrorists, but the results are the same, right? There's nothing to complain about as the Knights' operator."

It was now Villey's turn to laugh bitterly at what was perfectly sensible.

"I see. I knew you, Rag, were not cute at all, unlike you."

"What, I'm not going to compete with a kid for cuteness. There's no reason to win."

That being said, Karellen lifts her right hand to face height and turns its palm toward Villey.

saw it. Villey deepened her grin and raised her hand herself,

"I asked you, my knight"

Strike it well with momentum on Karellen's.

"Leave it to me"

With the harsh voice of Karellen, there was a creepy noise of a meeting of hands.
