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

Episode 483: The Road to the Ruins

Kite and the others headed for the rescue of the extracurricular study group at the School of Magic Instruction, ready to leave within that day.

"The destination is the southwest Terrar ruins from here! Tomorrow at noon, we fight! Expected high numbers! Watch out for cross spears!

Before we leave. Kite hangs the order on everyone. We had a carriage ready for the injured, so even in a hurry the departure was after noon. So, if Kate's decree is over, it's time to leave. Together, we will travel for half a day, another half a day, to reach the site that is our destination.

So, that night. Mizuki, who had also finished preparing the camp, inquired against Kite, who had finished marching and finished preparing the camp.

"What's a Terrar ruin?

"Oh, it's a relic of prehistoric civilization. Well, even if it's prehistoric, in this case, it's one before the Empire. It's the Mars Empire lab."

"What do you have?

"Something. I don't know what the ruins over there were studying. No... well, I've heard of it. I don't know the details. I should have heard from Heisenberg's grandfather... because he was attacked once by his first majesty."

Looks like he was doing some research on magic weapons.

There was a reason for Kite's slightly troubled answer. It was discovered after Kate left - it's a rediscovery, to be exact - but it was a relic. Therefore, Kite only knew about the report.

That's why I answered, naturally, Yuri, who has remained since then. Naturally, but if you try it on her, it's the godchildren. You couldn't have come.

"Well, a lot was a cannon or some kind of siege weapon. I wonder if there was much point in the development of the city. Even as a magic weapon, thanks to the presence of Tina and Kate, it was almost equivalent. Well, if it meant anything to the history of the Empire, I think there was as much live footage of His Majesty the First King as there seemed to be of him when he raided the institute... The purpose of the extracurricular training at the Magic Instruction School is to see it."

In fact, there is little record of the first King Ixfoss at the time of the rebel war. Instead, there was little record of that time itself. Therefore, the record of what the Ixfoss and others were doing at the time was more valuable than anything else.

Incidentally, the biggest reason why there is no record is that the final showdown took place at the home of Ixphos and the others. Although the relative power ratio was overwhelming on the part of the Empire, and as a result Justiza could have won by sacrificing himself, the home base was completely destroyed. At the instigation of that battle, most of the records of the Ixphos and others during the rebel war had disappeared.

"Anyway, this is footage of His Majesty the First King, who is extremely popular. This extracurricular study kills people who want it. Well, that's why I run it every year."

Yuri smiles bitterly and tells further. By the way, this is especially common for the descendants of the nobles. Looking at the precious footage of the First King was in a way considered a sort of status as a nobleman.

"Didn't they take the siege weapon?

"Come on...... but there was something left"

Yuri tilts her neck at the inquiry of Mizuki. This was where the historians were disturbed. Although the laboratory itself was worn out and destroyed to an irrecoverable level, most of the siege weapons that were the result were left behind.

"Well, I don't know what's missing and what's left of it, so maybe it was meant to take away even secret weapons that aren't on the list, and I wasn't interested in anything else."

Yuri makes appropriate inferences. Naturally, attempts have been made to restore information inside the laboratory. And I was able to salvage some of the information - and the information on Ixphos - but there was no list of development products in it. Therefore, it remains unclear what was missing.

"No, maybe you tried to turn down the source? The home of His Majesty Ixfoss is roughly 300 kilometers from that ruin. Given the level of technology and road maintenance at the time, and the large tunnel in the south, if you can use a groundhose, you can carry a siege weapon from that ruin for a day. And to be honest, it's the worst strategically there is to have enemy supply bases."

"Well, that's what many historians see... then you'd better take it away from them. From our adventurers' point of view..."

"Right...... if I don't even think about fighting, it's the distance I'll reach in 5 hours. To that extent, it would be better to take all the contents and use them."

The three of them line up their speculations with that and this. It seems like it's a long way from 300 kilometers, but if you actually use magic - if you don't mind fighting - but - it's almost a day's distance.

A speed-oriented, lightly equipped unit can rush out at 60 km/h thinking about combat - naturally, it's magic included - so even if it goes on with it, it's 5 hours. While carrying a siege weapon to the boulder, it doesn't get that fast, but it still doesn't make any difference how close it is. Handheld weapons for infantry can accommodate each other in a full day. Then we should have taken the research facility and used it as it was.

"Hmm... you want answers?

"Graia? Why are you here?

It was Graia who interrupted those two speculations. The equipment looks the same armor as usual.

"It took me by chance to get through the near field. I saw you in the camp."

"Weren't you supposed to travel further south on your last trip to celibacy?

"Julio's guy found an extra good hot spring in the volcano," he said. Tia, I was about to rendezvous with Gynn and take him on a hot spring trip. I stumbled upon you when I was looking from above. "

"Souvenir Regards"

"Behind the dwarf."

Glaia smiles bitterly at Kate's words. Being able to buy it there on boulders was nothing unusual as a kite.

"Oh, that's the fourth floor over there. Has the quality of the source changed?

"Apparently. He said the temperature was dropping just a little."

"Don't you like hot as always"

"Oh, I can't take a long bath."

Red Dragon makes it easy to get misunderstood, but I actually don't like Glia hot. They want it to be warm if they can. So, as she herself said, she loved long baths, sometimes for about three hours instead of an hour.

"What do you want to come in with me?

"Unless you're at work."

"Right. I hope it ends soon."

"Um... so why didn't you take the cannons from the lab?

"Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry. I totally forgot."

Graia laughed and apologized to Mizuki for the interruption of the conversation and decided to revert to the conversation.

"The site is inherently one of the Mars Imperial Hidden Laboratories. First name for sure... Sorry, you forgot. Well, there was a lot of big stuff. So, I refused to carry the rest."

"... Huh?

"Oh speaking of which, the siege weapon that was there was like a 30-metre dragon tribe carrying..."

"When it comes to the Dragons who can go to war at that time, it's about Jake. Honestly, I don't need that for the rest of it. Well, I got some for Jake... Need more?

Glaia laughs bitterly at her shoulders. Her blow is more useful than any siege weapon. The output is not comparable. Then it would have been more sensible to let them make even armor with the same material than to put on a large, motion-inhibiting siege weapon.

"Jake was foolish when he was forced to do manual labor. We can't bring the boulder to the base with the help of Ikes back then. Well, I got some new models and prototypes for him for research. Later, you'll see."

"If it is enough to disperse the power in vain, will the laboratory destroy it? There's no risk of being recaptured."

"That's the thing. Justiza took some equipment for research and tested what Jake had taken. Well, that seems to have left a little underground internal structure."

That must have turned out to be the Terrar ruins of today. What led to the rediscovery was naturally the impact of the Alliance War. That's how Kate asks Glaia when she answers the question.

"So, what do we do? So you're staying with me?

"Let me do that. Anyway... na"

"Well, I guess so"

The two of you will be convinced by just the two of you. Well, I also understood Yuri. By the time the camp was ready, the day was already falling. So now was a good time to say it was already night.

She'll be ready to go to bed, too, where she's headed to Tia's from now on. Gwen is definitely already asleep, or just in the middle of a long bath - sleep in the bathroom, to be exact.

"Hmm... speaking of which. Did you just tell me you still have the underground feature?

"Oh. Yuri, you didn't tell me?

"Oh... I did. Terrar's ruins are pretty much alive underground. Maybe some kind of clap brought the underground security to life and touched it there."

"Well, careless. When it comes to the security system of a secret base... it seems to be quite troublesome."

"I don't think so."

"Tomorrow morning, I'll alert you once and for all"

Take Yuri's word, and that's what Kate decides. I thought the system was pretty dead because of the ruins, but apparently the underground equipment is pretty much alive. To such a kite, Glaia tells.

"Yeah, I heard from Justiza later... apparently the underground facility had spare power for evacuation etc. As a precaution, Ikes sent people in later to destroy the spare system. Naturally, the information was taken before it was destroyed. but apparently when I heard this story, the security system and the reserve for the facility management system were separate systems"

"That's not an impossible story. Keeping a few systems decentralized is not a bad story. Even if one of the worst is destroyed, we can handle that. Especially the security system."

"Kite, can you get me some personnel to re-investigate?

"Right. If it were to become a legacy of prehistoric civilization, people would also come from the institutes of the Imperial Capital if they advanced to His Majesty. Let's play it."

Approximately 300 years after it was found. Apparently this was the first time the security system had malfunctioned. Hearing Yuri's plea, Kate agrees with it.

"Do you have anything to put away with care?

"Right... Yeah, I can tell you everything about that lab back then, but all in all, security is a security golem made of metal. I don't know if they are maintained... but if they are, they are stiff. Besides, he seems to be the type who's obsolete his magic as much as possible. I have a built-in power source on my chest... even if I break it, it will remain active for a while with atmospheric magic. He's a pain in the ass who'll go back to fixing it if you leave him alone."

"Guards... weren't they?

"Well... I don't know what the Demon Emperor was thinking... except as far as possible for the researchers at the institute, who apparently ruled out the guards from the institute. There's no way I'm going to even think about labor costs, so I guess there was a reason."

Glaia shook her head at the inquiry of Mizuki. This was one of the mysteries of the historians. And this one apparently doesn't even know Graia. Well, it would be more suspicious to know what the enemy general thinks.

"Hmmm... then I'll change the formation a little bit"

"That sounds better."

"The members don't mess with you?

"No, you stay that way. I have three daughters on the boulder, and I never run out of fire... oh, yeah."

I hear that's where Kate remembered something. Look around and look for the three leaves. Then she was adored by the girls students for being the youngest of all the faces - looking - this time.

You can leave that alone, except for work. So Kite keeps turning around and shouting out loud. By the way, one leaf was in the bath, and two leaves were maintaining the double-gun they used in today's battle.

"Three leaves! I knew Greeran allowed it! Fuckin 'blast me!

"Really -! The Rochelin!

"You're dismissed!

"Eh!"

I guess the main thing is still Rocket Launcher. Mitsuha was dissatisfied. But if you let something like that go in a confined underground space, the underground space will surely collapse. I didn't want to be buried alive, and one of the rescuers in need is Henri, the empress of this country in the first place. I couldn't let you go through the burial alive.

"Pooh."

"Rejected even if it swells"

"Ketchie."

I'm here to protest against Kite, Mitsuha, but I can't even allow it with Kite. And, naturally, there came the stopper. It's my second daughter's second leaf.

"Here! You said no master, so do it!

"Eh! One shot or so would be nice -! Hey, Master, just one shot! If it was one shot, it could be a misfire!

"You said you shot me by mistake..."

Against the sermon of the two leaves, the three leaves devour.

"... well, if the bulkhead is out of the way, I'll think about it"

"Master!"

"Master!"

Two leaf protest voices and three leaf joy voices rise. If the bulkhead was down, there is no chance that the Grenade Launcher would not be fired enough. So this decision is not suspicious, but for a slightly different reason.

"Master! Stop spoiling the three leaves!

"Yay! Master, love it!

"haha......"

Kate laughs bitterly as she is held by the three leaves elsewhere to protest the two leaves.

"Oh, oh? Is something wrong?

and that's where a leaf comes up from the bath. Take a bath with them. That's how I noticed the two sisters surrounding the Lord with the opposite look on their faces.

"Ah, Sister Ichiba. Hey, listen to me! Master will spoil the three leaves!

"My master gave me permission to Lochlan and Grellan!

"Lochlan didn't allow it, did he?

As such, the rescue team's night grew longer, including the three new sisters.
