Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

Episode 231: Homunculus - The Born -

A few days after the decision was taken to organize the party for the second tournament. After a meeting about the tournament, Kate was visiting Ellis and Lanka's decoration shop.

"Hey, is Ellis here?

I had planned to introduce Tina to Ellis at a later request, but since I had just made the time, I decided to fulfill it within today. Besides, I thought it was time to show Tsubaki the basement of the Duke's mansion. Either way, I decided to take him with me.

"What?"

"Oh, I thought I'd introduce you to Tina.

"Someone over there?

That's what Ellis points to Tsubaki. I can't help but be wrong than I don't know.

"No, this is our secretary Tsubaki. I thought I'd show you the basement of the Duke's mansion.

"Nice to meet you.

Ellis gracefully salutes. Take that and Tsubaki greets you too.

"So, is the time okay now?

"Ah, but Lanka. Are you okay?"

"Oh, yeah. It's okay. You're not getting any production requests, are you?

"Yeah."

"Well, I'll keep the store number, so go and come.

"Yeah, thanks.

Thus began Ellis, and the three of us went to Tina's laboratory in the basement of the Duke's mansion.

"So, this is the entrance... don't ever go away, okay? Because it's a hassle to find.

Thus, in front of the entrance to the basement of the Duke's residence, Kate tells the two of them to take precautions.

"Huh?"

"Um, your husband said that the interior seems to be heterospace, so you could get lost," he said.

To Ellis like that, Tsubaki tells her what she heard before she came. And Kite nodded, opening the door that leads to the labyrinth of the Duke's residence.

"Okay, dare not lose sight of my back no matter what... no, there's no number of people and I'll hold hands.

Say yes, and I'll give you both my hands.

"Huh?"

"No, um..."

They are both turning bright red and looking at Kate's hands and face alternately.

"Hmm? What's up?... Oh well. Sman."

After seeing the two of them turn bright red, Kate finally understands the situation, too. I blush my cheeks just a little bit if it lights up. I wondered if I could hold hands with two girls my age who weren't dating me on a boulder. It seems that the girls I'm with were only a little paralyzed because of their deep relationship with me.

"Uh, well, don't lose sight of your back.

That's what I said and went inside. Following Kite, they both went inside. Then, walking about fifteen minutes ahead of Kate, he now reached a space with a view of the great sky and the clouds. It was the space used by Tina in the study of large demonic conductors such as airships.

"Is that it? Isn't it here?

He said he was doing some new research, so he thought it was a study of a new type of armor for magical guidance armor, but apparently it wasn't.

"Excuse me, just a moment. I thought it was here..."

That's what he said. Kite apologized to the two of them and used the pronouncement.

"Tina, where are you at the lab now?

"Hmm? It's not an area where I'm studying demons and golems now. See, there was an area where the floor was made of metal?

'Oh there... was the new one a golem?

'Uhm...... oh! Good condition! Lord, where are you now?

'Ah? Oh, now it's a research area for large demon conductors.

"Not right now! Not now!

Even with a slightly more suspicious look on Tina's voice like a hurry, Kate dares not end the conversation.

"It doesn't look like it was here. Sman. Move a little.... What's up?

"No, um... what's that?

"Big......"

That said, what the two fingers point to was Tina's demon-guided armor in the process of production.

"Magic armor, that's a big one too.

Kite also saw an area where demon conductor armor was being developed, where about ten demon conductor armors were being developed about 30 meters long. Several of them were already nearing completion, the exterior was mounted, and the golems were checking the operation.

"Is that... a special Kuzha plane? Even Aura's.

Apparently he was developing it as a dedicated machine, with each individual's crest attached to the shoulder area and prominent areas.

"But aren't you too big? Who can use it?

When it's as big as 30 meters, it takes a lot of magic to move. There had to be a lot of magic to cover it alone. That was Ellis' questioning, and Kate had to laugh bitterly.

"We can all use it. It's not bitter then to that extent.

"Wow......"

To Kate's words, Ellis opens her eyes.

"Though... Whose are those three? My stamp as a squire... well, ask Tina later.

Kate sighs that she is not familiar with it and is doing something again. That said, if you discover it, you just have to ask later. So the three of them decided to move again.

The move was thus a relatively new area made of metal. Some near-future atmosphere was one of Tina's new neighborhoods after her return to Enefia.

"Oh! You're here!...... hmm? Who is it?"

Tina was waiting for Kate to arrive now or now, but Kate came along with a stranger and turned out to be just a little suspicious.

"Oh, the remote edge of Kuzha...... you see, that's the girl I was painting when I went inside High Elf a few times about Kuzha.

"Oh! Of that time! I said... but I don't remember.

"I would. You're not even here.

So that Ellis did not know about Tina, neither did Tina know about Ellis.

"So, what's wrong with the remote edge of that Kuzha?

"Oh, I just introduced you. You can also incorporate concepts into your design, right? Give him a little wisdom.

"What, you know what? I don't mind. Why don't you tell me when you're still at the Alliance Home? So, what's Tsubaki like?

"Tsubaki needs to show me the underground lab once and for all... Later, you've been sneaking up on me, so you won't see me. What have you been up to?

Recently, Tina threw a round of guild work at Kite, pulling cages in this underground laboratory almost daily and doing some research. It was about time we had some kind of report. Tina replied with a laugh to such a kite inquiry.

"Oh, bye. That's not why you asked for tag matches.

In this tag match, if true, Kate was only going to register for the last day of the team match. But for some reason, Tina came and said, so she signed up with Tina. That's how I remember when I signed up, and Kite looks at me.

"That one made me look pretty nasty.

"Well, there's no other way. The rest and the Lord are winners.

Two of the last tournament winners and two of the best in both worlds will be tagged. The combination that anyone could easily predict winning made me look very disgusted by Makoto, who was partitioning tournament combinations, etc.

"Before that, Senior True Qin has been told who he is. At a time when the Demon King and the Brave are hand in hand, you won't win.

Moreover, they both have no reputation from their surroundings. Faces who know who they are are are already a mix of giving up. That said, Tina pushed it through because of the circumstances.

"So, what do you want after all?

"Uhm...... Ein, Zwei, Dry! Come here a little bit. Claudia, thank you.

Tina said that and spoke to the three girls who were in a mock fight with Claudia a little farther away.

"Yes, Master Creator.

The three responded at the same time and started walking to Tina's side. Kate was under the impression that her flat voice was the girls who lacked emotion.

All three had a puppet-like beauty, somewhere created. However, there is a similar impression on the face, but there are physical variations, three beautiful girls about the age of a college student and a beautiful girl in her late teens today, only slightly younger than in her mid-teens. The outfit is only fairly remarkable in the form of leotards, where all the lines of the body clearly appear, and the outfit is quite difficult for the eye. The hair is ponytail, twin tail, and three knitting, so it's probably ein, zwei, and dry in that order. All, the hair was the same light water color.

"Yes, Demon King. Lord Kite, it's been a while. And you?"

Claudia, who also walked beside Tina, expressed interest in the two people she had never seen.

"Oh, it's been a long time. It's my exclusive secretary, Tsubaki, and the remote Ellis of Kuzha.

"It's an elisk peer. Ellis, please.

"I'm your husband's exclusive maid, Tsubaki.

"I'm Claudia, the current demon king.

So the Tsubaki three finished introducing themselves, so Tia pointed to the three girls who were coming beside her.

"Um, let me introduce the three of you... but I don't have a name yet.

"Hmm? Didn't you just call me Ein, Zwei, Dry?

Kate asks Tina's slightly troubled face with her neck tilted. Sure, I called three people by that name when I called them, and all three of them were responding. But Tina laughs bitterly at such a kite inquiry.

"No, I'm not a development code. I just called it that for convenience. I can tell by my hair now.

"Development code?... Wait, are these girls demons?

Kite is a little surprised to see people's girls from anywhere. For a demon, he was a human from wherever he saw it.

"No, I'm not a user demon. Golem."

To Tina's words, Kate gets surprised in the opposite direction from earlier. But that was with the other two, except Claudia.

"Golem, is it? I think I'm autonomous from wherever I see it..."

"Whew, kite. What's the difference between a golem and a user demon?

Kate looks a little surprised at Tina's sudden question with Tsubaki's words, but there must be some intent there more than questioning someone who knows. So, Kate decided to follow suit.

"Hmm? It would be a theory to Buddha...... the user demon is made of the magic of the Lord, and the golem takes the magic of the surroundings to power, but is usually made by collecting materials. Thus, the demon of use cannot exist without the magic of the Lord, and the golem may exist without the magic of the Lord. Note that both co-performances are influenced by the strength of the Lord, his magic power, and, in the case of the Golem, the material that further builds his body.

"Mm-hmm. Physically so. So, what's the performance aspect?

Tina, who nodded at Kate's commentary, wants more commentary. With that in mind, Kate decided to go further with the commentary.

"... the user demon is agile, intelligent and able to behave in a variety of ways, from exercising magic to martial arts and undercover detectives. Instead of mastering these complex actions, the Golem can perform a single and lengthy task because it does not require the Lord's magic from the present world. The point is the difference between an android that thinks for itself and a workmanship robot that repeats its actions along a given program. Well, that just gives the Golem some intelligence... but it's overwhelmingly inferior to the demon of use.

"Mm-hmm. So why is it impossible for the Golem to act complicated?

Listening to Kite's commentary, Tina wants a deeper commentary. When it came to it, it went far beyond what was explained in the school, and perhaps even the best maple in the school had not been grasped in the study of demons used. No, I'm not even sure how many of the scholars have grasped this far before then.

"Difference in soul retention rates, right? When you look at the soul as a mass of magic or will, the body of the user demon made of the magic of the maker is ideal as a vessel of the soul that is a mass of magic as it is. However, when dealing with other people's demons, there is a slight reduction in performance. This is because the magic of the producer who created the great book of demons is different from the magic of the user. However, there are exceptions to this, and this is not limited to the case where a person with a life becomes a demon if he wishes to use it. Lu and the others are an example of this. They wanted a deal with me, they wanted to lose their flesh and connect with my soul. In this case, their souls connected to my soul can be seen as part of my soul. Therefore, although it cannot be summoned by anyone other than me, it can still be summoned if I have the same ability as the original flesh. In contrast, the Golem utilizes objects that once lost their lives, such as minerals or corpses, which make it difficult to retain their souls in the material. The low retention rate makes it difficult to use the intelligence and reason that the soul possesses as a thought, even if it is an advanced soul.

Satisfied with Kite's explanation, Tina nodded at it. Apparently I could hear everything I wanted to hear.

"That's good. You got it all right. Hopefully, if you could mention to the rest of the demons why there are so many demons who use animals and the like as motifs, I would have scored full.

"Oh?...... ha.

Since Tina wanted further mention, Kate decided to do what she wanted, although cumbersome.

"Simply put, the difficulty of producing souls, right. That leads straight to the difficulty of using demons as they are. Naturally, soul production is located at the deepest end of sorcery. The most complex souls are those who are at the top of life such as humans, divine beasts, phantom beasts, and others with complex thought bodies. The simplest are animals that do not reach high altitudes, such as divine beasts and phantom beasts. Therefore, the type of demon the Lord creates often creates objects that mimic these animals… So, okay?

"Hmm. So how about these three... Actually, it's a golem close to the demon. Soul is close to man, flesh is comparable to man. Does the Lord know what this means?

"No way......"

That's the only answer I could think of, Kate, that I've heard so much about. And at the same time, we got a war. There was only one thing in Enefia that meant it.

"Mm-hmm. Not exactly what your lord thought.

"Is that homunculus!?

With Tina's affirmation, Kite accidentally runs the answer.

"What? That.

"My first ear, too, is.

Tsubaki and Ellis, on the other hand, tilt their necks with a strange face. Tina, who sees it, gives a commentary to the two of us. I can't help but be a little proud of that face.

"Uhm. < >... the closest creation to a person. Settles the soul to the same degree as a person, indistinguishable from a person. It is, however, a being created in a person or in a high-ranking being. In the art of demon and golem systems, it is said to be the deepest realm.

"At the same time, homunculus purification is accompanied by the creation of life. Techniques that are simply the most technically challenging and where ethically the admissibility of creation itself is debated. Therefore the realm is called in awe… the realm of God, and.

I dare you to build a hoard, says Kate. It was a technology that could be called the creation of life, precisely the realm of God. It is an ethically problematic technology, but also at the end of a technically distracting task. It was exactly fitting to call it a miracle that God could do.

"Are you saying that... Tina was extremely skilled in using demons?

Tsubaki, who understood Kate and Tina's explanation, opened his eyes and asked in surprise. Besides, kite snorts.

"That's not an exaggeration.

"Well, not yet...... after numerous failures, finally done, no, I was born.

He still thinks from the bottom of his heart, Tina humbles herself while showing only a little illumination. The illuminated Tina stroked Zwei's head, which was nearest, and continued.

"The three of us are just born, so we have little emotion and judgment... but we can still act more than a parallel golem at this stage. Yuku will also be able to assist Tsubaki and others.

Tsubaki reacted to the words, tingling.

"Well, I still only have the same combat ability as an adventurer of about rank A. I'm a little nervous about Kite's assistant. Stella, can I ask you a favor?

"I was left to do that. Sometimes I show my face.

Stella, who has so far hidden herself in the enchantment of a secret lineage, unravels the enchantment and reveals herself. Even for her, she is a colleague to protect the Lord. I was in favour of more.

"Um. Smanu's.

"So, in the end, what does that have to do with tag matches?

"Mm-hmm. Join the little guys.

That said, Tina started explaining the situation for the three of them.
