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

The kites continued to dive further underground as they further investigated the site that sank at the bottom of the lake, descending further down two levels from the hierarchy where Tina discovered the torso of the Golem. but there will finally be a problem here.

"... Fireflies. I need you to take a look under here."

Copy that.

Fireflies initiate inspection upon instructions from Kite. Now, the problem that was going on was that the road was cut off. Apparently, dirt and sand poured in from around here, and no matter how I scratched them, I had to dig the ground and move on.

"Well..."

While Kate leaves the investigation to the fireflies, she decides to check the status quo.

"Tina, tell me what's going on everywhere."

"Uhm. First of all, the other squads have been able to infiltrate without anything happening so far, just like this one."

"That's good news"

"Uhm. That said, the progress shows that there is still some variation on this. I had to get rid of the rubble a few times along the way. Well, considering it's falling apart, it's something you can't do."

"I can't help it, can I?"

Kate gives up with a sigh in Tina's words. I just have to say that all this has no choice but to be a relic. Even the kites had collapsed before in the first place, and I even looked for a detour route. Of course, as with others, we also carry out debris removal operations.

I guess I was just lucky that there had never been a situation where I could not proceed with the removal until now. And now, there was no detour route. It's always a bumping issue somewhere, only the difference between fast or slow. That's why Kate looks at the clock in order to think about the next course of action based on her progress so far. The time had already passed considerably since the start of the investigation, and it was time to see the return if the removal of dirt and rocks was carried out.

"Hmmm...... once we're done peeking ahead from here, I guess we should leave it at that"

"Bye. I'm spending a lot of energy there on the boulder, and I shouldn't be pushing it too hard. Besides, I have to return. You have to keep that time and strength. '

"Well...... for now, I'll end up peeking further down the level today"

"Because of that."

Tina acknowledges Kate's policy. Debris removal work, etc. is still hard work. Fortunately, there was no battle yet, but not necessarily from here. And naturally, from here on forward, it is visible that it will proceed while removing debris. Somewhere, we should cut it off. And while we're talking about that, it looks like we're done investigating fireflies. She came this way.

"Master. Simple inspection by Sonar, done"

"Oh... how'd it go?

"Firstly, several hierarchies seem to exist downstairs as well. I still wondered if there was still a staircase down there."

"Well... well, I'm sorry about all this, is that all"

Kite and Firefly observe what looks like a wreck of stairs visible nearby. The stairs were completely impassable due to the deterioration over time and what the demons had made their dwellings. When this happens, I already have to smash through the ceiling and go down to the lower tier.

"Anything else?

"Yes… some curious results"

When Firefly says so, she projects her findings into space using the function of reflecting the test results as a hologram.

"Hmmm... is it completely submerged below this"

"I affirm. Perhaps this was just the limit point for draining water, or there was flooding from the bottom."

"Well, it's not like you can dump infinite distances of water outside. I have no choice."

The first thing I found out is that it's flooded below this. Although water drainage was carried out when forming the dome, there are limits to this.

Therefore, after a certain distance, the water will remain there. Even so, I was going to see the excess, but apparently the underground part of the ruins was wider than that. Well, this is within my expectations. Therefore, we are all wearing swimsuits, knowing that it is cold.

"Anything else?

"Yes...... first, give me this one"

"That's square... when you look where it's available, you mean it wasn't inspectable?

"I affirm. Consider that the blank space has basically not been inspected for some reason."

Fireflies first nodded at Kite's inquiry as he indicated a square blank space. It is inspected by sensors, but in principle it is measured by detecting reflections. Scientifically and magically, this one is with me.

So if the waves released don't return, it will appear as a blank space. That means it would be good to see that there is some special artifact there. What was displayed was a little cylindrical there in a large blank space. And from the shape, there was one thing I could think of.

"Hmmm... from this size and shape is that the shield of the Magic Furnace...?

"Presumably most likely"

Fireflies also agree with Kite's guess. Naturally, the shapes of the scientific power furnace and the demon conductor furnace are very different. Basically, against scientific power reactors that generate electricity by turning the turbine in some way, whether hydro, thermal, or nuclear, these large facilities are centered around special demonic stones, carving all sorts of magic into them, and converting magic into energy.

Therefore, the perimeter of the demonic stone, which is the core of its demonic conductor furnace, will basically be covered with a barrel of physical shield with a special engraving. And that shield absorbs the inspection waves emitted by fireflies as part of avoiding all kinds of external influences. Due to its size and shape, it was most reasonable to assume that the sonar showed its shield.

"Does that mean that the primary goal should be to go for this...... Tina. Did you hear that?

'Um, I'll ask. It would be best to set that as our primary goal.'

Tina nodded at Kite's inquiry and began to create information for Maxwell's one-leaf team from scale, etc., while sending more circulars to the Adventure Department technical team. Only the results at Sonar, but I was fortunate to meet this demon conductor and thought object on day one of the investigation.

If you know the size of the shield, you can also guess the size of the core. And if you can guess the size of the core, you can guess the output and size of the demon conductor furnace. We know how many components we need to repair and how much performance we need. If so, it reduces the amount of luggage you bring and the amount of time and effort you need to prepare.

"Rikai. So tomorrow we're going to go all the way over there."

'Right. So for now... hmm?

"Have you noticed, Professor?"

"Uhm... what is that?"

It was Tina who set the policy for now, but apparently she noticed something. He called out to the fireflies in a surprised voice. And, besides, Kate and Yuri tilted their necks.

"What's wrong?

"Is there something wrong with you?

'Um... or it seems too big to be the other way around. Yuri, hey, get out of there.'

"Out of my way?

It is Yuri, who was floating near the hologram, but of course floating in a blank area so as not to disturb her. That's why we don't have to move. So her question is the most important one, and it would make sense to tilt her neck.

"Overhead, take a closer look?

"On your head?

While Yuri tilts her neck at Tina's words, she raises her gaze over herself for now. And so I went away a little bit and opened my eyes.

"Wow... could this be..."

"What the hell is going on..."

Yuri noticed, too, but Kate, who was just watching what happened, just leans her neck. I have no idea what's going on. And, to such a kite, Yuri went inside the hologram and told me.

"Kite, here. Look at this place."

Yuri moves through the edge of the hologram. And that's where Kite noticed too. It was slightly distorted.

"... oh, could this be..."

"Affirmation. There's probably some kind of structure underneath this, and he said it's preventing the reaction"

Firefly tells the guess in the wake of Kate opening her eyes. I knew both Kite and Yuri thought the hologram was over there, but they actually still had a way to go.

No, it's not a mistake that it's over. It was simply shown as a blank. Therefore, Kate and Yuri had mistaken the hologram as the end here.

I guess Tina noticed first because she had gotten it in the form of a data file from Firefly. He saw that for himself and realized there was a way ahead.

"... Isn't this too big for boulders?

"Affirmation. I was wondering if this structure would be too large, given the size of the laboratory and the information that would be left in Legado."

"Hmm... I sure don't think it's an underground experiment site... but on the contrary, I can't see the point of shielding it so tightly"

Tina thinks about what this is as she looks at the huge blank space pictured further ahead. Sure, I don't think there's a laboratory of this magnitude, but still, I rarely carry out rigorous shielding so far. If so, maybe if this is where the important research was being done.

but then, this time, it doesn't fit that Legado left information. With the invasion of the enemy, the most important information, excluding the data that Legado himself had, had been destroyed. I don't know why it's left here.

"Legado. Do you have any idea what this institute has been studying?

'I'm sorry. Much information has been lost after the former summons of the Evil God. It is presumed that the maps that were left as the underlying data were the corners of the rabbit and that the detailed data there… were ordered by the director at the time to destroy the data of the laboratory as well. Under his authority, which appears to have been manipulated, orders have been issued for the deletion of all data except the location data of the laboratory. "

'Well, I get it... it's reasonable'

Research data as well as data from that laboratory may be referred to as a block of state-of-the-art information of that civilization. Because if you know what the laboratory is researching, if you aim there, you will know that research data is available. The fact that our own adversaries take it away from us, that is, I guess they just tell us to aim here.

If so, it can be said that one of the first pieces of data to be discarded in conjunction with the research data is what kind of research is being conducted by which laboratories.

Well, if I knew that, I wouldn't have to go out of my way with Kate and the others to rely on maps to guess what the ruins are and decide what to investigate. Because I didn't know, I took a long time to investigate.

"It's Legado. How long has it been since your Lord's system went down to the collapse of civilization... No, in this case, until the end of the war?

'... there will be a lot of guesses, are you sure?

"I don't mind."

"Probably, 10 years at the longest. In five short years, the fight seems to have been decided. The last update of information about the fight is five years after I system down. Five years later, during the re-maintenance in the Enesian continent, the updating of the information was completely stopped '.

Legado answered Tina's question, only in the form of speculation. As she herself said, at the time the Shalls entered the fight, she was moving much of the system into a sleep state. There are a number of reasons, but the most important reason is to return that power to her because she has partly borrowed the power of Charles.

And that's why we only know what happens after that in the form of information that comes in from time to time. Furthermore, many of them have been lost due to the failure to undergo busy maintenance even for that information. So it was a guess.

'Hmmm...... means that the capital function completely collapsed in the battle that took place in between. It's good to see you're in a situation close to defeat.'

'Perhaps. It is presumed that civilization has suffered deadly damage. It is only a matter of speculation, but then there will be the final showdown, and Master Shamrock will seal the evil god. With so many gods, he fell asleep in the earth. "

"How about there, Kate?

Tina, who was crossing speculations with Legado, asks Kite. Here, no wonder you know him if he's dating God as the god angel of the goddess of the moon. And I knew.

"Oh, I hear it looks daunting. Well, I haven't heard much about civilization, but he's been pushed pretty hard once. In the final showdown, Lord Shamrock and Charles fought the Evil Gods, and Orrin and the others were suppressing many powerful demons."

"Hmmm... Daima, I can read muscles"

"I could read it, and Lord Shamrock said the same thing."

Kate also agrees with Tina's out-of-the-box predictions. And Shamrock, a living witness at that time, also seemed to agree. That's why Kite makes that clear.

"They manipulated the majority of the people, yes. God's power is ultimately the power of faith. So they put him at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of believers."

"Mmm... it's the right strategy"

Tina sends an unworthy praise with bitterness for the 'enemy', who was still taking a very clever tactic while being said to be an evil god. God is a spiritual life form. Therefore, it can be seen as a kind of person.

but at the same time there is a divine deceased trait. That's it. Prayer and faith can be seen as a form of thought. And magic is the power of will. And you can think of God as a being knitted with prayer and faith.

If so, we can transform the prayers and beliefs of the believers into our own power. This is God's God. You can think of it as having an external power source called People's Prayer if you dare.

Of course, there is some power that holds together as the original God. Therefore, even if the believers are zero, they will not lose most things, but the power will fall accordingly. Because it's like a huge amount of external power lost, which is God's unique ability. It reduces the amount of power available at once.

In other words, they have an overwhelming amount of faith, or a tremendous amount of magic, taken from them. And it is visible that if you take away your faith, your opponent will be jilli poor. Taking this away was strategically a very correct idea if we put the main focus on the battle between God.

"It served as an underground refuge...... kayo"

'It's possible. It is possible, of course, that the renovation carried out while I was asleep had resulted in this being reborn into an important facility'

"Mmmm... it's no bother..."

Tina looks up, thinking about what to do. If it's a shelter or laboratory, it doesn't matter. If the former is still the latter, it is one of the places we should check if, from our own ends, it is. but if you have been reborn into an important institution, the story changes. It's more dangerous at once. I can't touch the detour.

'Kate. What do you think your Lord should do?

"Hmm... danger is dangerous..."

I understand that this could be dangerous with Kite. but I also know I can't overlook it. but most importantly, I didn't have enough information.

"... Shouldn't we be restoring the demon furnace first? If there's any information left, we should be able to tell from it. Too much information for now."

"No... I've been thinking about that too... in case the energy goes from the Magic Furnace to you, and it might be in that space, and I'm worried about what to do if something breathes back."

"Uh..."

Again, I guess this means Tina is smarter. Looks like she was looking further ahead and thinking. That said, restoration of the Magic Conductor furnace is imperative in any case. That's all we have to do, no matter what we do. That's how Kite made the decision.

"... Shh. For now, let's restore the Magic Furnace while paying the utmost attention. Restoration of the magic furnace is inevitable... right?

'Well... whether the army investigates it or not, it's not necessary to investigate this site. Pandora's box may have been opened. After that, let's just hope there's still hope. "

Looks like Tina agreed to Kate's decision and decided she had no choice but to give up. These ruins have already been found. If so, it's only the difference between the kites moving as dukes or as adventure clubs later.

Investigations alone must be conducted in an academic and crisis management sense. And if you intend to return to Earth, you have to take this level of risk. I have no choice but to be powerless.

"Right...... well, I'll just move on for now. I'd like to check the flooding downstairs. So we need to think about tomorrow's gear."

"Bye. Firefly, then drill down the floor in the best place. Bring back samples to check water quality."

Copy that.

Follow Tina's instructions to move to the spot where the fireflies were staring and retrieve the drill to punch through the floor. As such, the kites decided to return to the camp once they had checked the flooding of the lower tier through the open hole in the firefly.
