Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave
Episode 1323: The Ruins Under the Cliff
The ruins under the cliff that Elusha and the others found. A joint unit of three guilds, including the Adventure Department, was building a base on the cliff for the investigation there. Kite, who entrusted the guild members with the task of setting up the base, was down the cliff earlier with both guild masters in Elusha and Rio.
"... at times like this, I think you're convenient"
"It's still fluffy today."
"I want to fly fully automatic, too."
As usual, Kate sighed as she watched Yuri float with her wings. Seeing him like that, Yuri went in.
"Well, you can fly"
"That's not how it works. I want wings, too."
"There's nothing there. Humans don't have wings."
"Hey, I don't know if you have any dreams..."
"But I do."
Fluffing next to Kate, Yuri tells her in an unusual and swallowing tone, turning away from earlier. Actually, though, Kite also has wings. We can use the force we received from the girl who gained the edge on Earth to deploy the black and white wings, so we could actually fly freely with it.
but I rarely use this because it is one of his trump cards, and I don't do it because if I use it to make it that easy, the other one will come and beat me up.
"So, it's time -!
"A little further down there!
Elusha leads the cliff down to Kite's inquiry. The depth of the cliff is about 100 meters. It's not that deep. Not really, but it was the depth of death in certainty if the average person fell.
And of course, if you can't take a passive with an adventurer, it doesn't hurt. So I went down via scaffolding a few times for safety reasons. So after going through some scaffolding in about a minute, we were both reaching the entrance that Elusha found.
"This... is certainly an artifact"
"Isn't it? Originally this area was undeveloped, so I think the discovery was delayed."
"Hmm..."
Kate peeks into the ruins from a slightly visible crack from the cliff wall shown by Elusha. It was dark inside and I couldn't see anything, so I nodded at Yuri and had her produce a light source. From the slight exterior walls that seemed so, Kite nodded one.
"... indeed, this is similar to the ruins of the Mars Empire period... Fireflies. Can you hear me?"
"Yes, Master"
When Kite asked the firefly via a headset attached to his ear, the firefly responded immediately. She had made adjustments to the tools developed by Tina for this investigation, such as the rock grinder, which was still inside the airship.
"To what extent is the adjustment done?
"About 70% of the total is over. Mother's doing the last system check."
"Right. Then can you come over here? He's in front of the entrance to the ruins. I want to hear your guess."
Copy that.
"Please... it's under the cliff. I don't think there's any need, but just in case, don't forget the Barnier unit for flight."
Copy that.
At Kite's direction, the fireflies quickly get ready. So, five minutes later. Fireflies came under the cliff.
"Master"
"Oh, you're here... can you ask?
Copy that.
Fireflies, at the behest of Kite, ram an exploration tool into the walls of a collapsed cliff to activate it.
"... what the hell, dude"
"This is Mother's newly developed drone. They are also equipped with electrical shocks, etc., so they should be used. It is also possible to investigate the materials. slightly larger for that matter and"
"... you made me do all I wanted a little too much. Later, Shimeko."
We let the basic Tina develop as she pleases, but it was still likely to reach the realm of overdoing anything. Drone is the first thing that can be developed with Earth technology in the first place. She's evolving that all the time, but that's why she's the one who does everything she wants to do without stopping her once somewhere. Beyond hiding who he was in the bend, it was time to stop him once and beyond the realm where the Adventure Department could hold him. and Elusha was interested in fireflies carrying out such drone operations.
"The child is the example golem?
"Oh... it's brilliant, isn't it?
"Brilliant..."
"You only look like a girl"
Rio, who received Elusha's gaze, also makes clear in surprise. I just look like a biological girl no matter where I look from. The two faces were revealing it above all else.
"That's all, the Mars Empire must have been amazing...... so, Firefly. What do you say?"
"Around 80% likely from materials, structures, etc., it is presumed to be the ruins of the Malus Empire era"
"How much time do you need to be sure?
"Malus Empire or no, if only by the end of the day"
"Then, please"
"Copy that. I'll keep the drone in place."
When the fireflies give their consent to Kite's instructions, they let the investigation continue with the drone. It should be noted that Tina was later questioned and found out that apparently this drone also had automatic piloting capabilities. It was like I was really doing whatever I wanted.
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Copy that.
"Hey... let this kid take care of our investigation, let's go back up there"
"Is it good?
Elusha asks Kite, who urged her to return. Well, we're leaving one looking girl behind. I guess that question or concern was a reasonable thing because it's kind of the same girl. but it was a firefly like no other who made a clear statement to this.
"My prowess, to put it this way, is that of a Rank S class. It's based on a body made for a much more advanced purpose than this ruin, and the golem of this ruin can't be beaten by thousands."
"Oh yeah...?
"I told you. Yulicia's... No, because it's not you. Don't fuck around."
"Uh."
Yuri pointing her mouth at Kate's scratch. It should be noted that although it is true, I am only doing it as a joke, and there is a preconceived notion that there is no way Yuri is here in the first place. So there was nothing that Elusha noticed either. Instead, I dare to make you think that's not possible.
"It's the first thing I've been able to capture with the help of Ulysses like that. Even our secret weapon, if you dare. You'll never lose."
"... what about being taken over the other way around?
"Oh, that or. Of course I'm taking care of that."
Kate nodded with a smile at Rio's inquiry seeping slight vigilance. There's no way they don't care about what happens if they catch fireflies. Anyway, one of their enemies today is a clan of gods who broke civilization once, long before the Mars Empire. I took precautions.
In addition to several magical measures, there is also a servant of Kate as the last fence. Moreover, in addition to that, it also makes a little improvement using the technology Tina obtained on Earth. In case it was enough to make it a hundred million.
"Really? Then don't worry."
"Oh, do that. At least we don't eat the reverse brainwashing of the Mars Empire."
To Rio's words, Kate makes a clear statement again. So they left it up to the fireflies to go back to base once.
Well, the returning kites, but I'm not going to let the boulders embark on an investigation that day yet. It's prep day. In fact, it was to be spent discussing how to get in to the entrance, how long it was expected, what would be done with the division of the squad, etc. That's why meetings were held by gathering the upper levels of each guild.
"Right. So you still need a little time"
"Oh, Justina said by the end of the day, we'll be adjusting."
"Were you right to prepare by saying that the cliff was close..."
Kate leaks a soothing exhale as she listens to instant reports. We gathered the upper levels, but Tina wasn't here. Because she had a lot of trouble adjusting the equipment she needed to investigate.
I heard it was on a cliff, but I didn't even know there was an entrance halfway through the cliff. So I thought it would be possible to secure enough space, but since I couldn't do that, I was suddenly striking measures to deal with it.
"He said he would make a float. Nevertheless, the equipment was brought in, so it won't take long," he said.
"Oh, that would be a reasonable measure. Leave that to him, he'll be fine."
"Well... so, how about that one?
"It's not a problem."
After an instant raise, Al nodded. This one was mainly setting up positions for me. This one will be the right thing to do by two Al and Rufaus, who have experience in the military, and that's what the Elusians decided to do and mainly let the two of them take the lead. Others still borrowed a hand from Imina because of the fact that they were military.
"So will they all be ready tomorrow...... good. We're fine with this. What about you?"
"We managed to formulate it. You can leave it to that operator outside, right?
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm not older than Dada, so I'll take care of it."
The lights in Elusha's inquiry - which I was attending because I was the head of the Adventure Department technical squad - were firmly contracted out. Note that she also looks serious because she is an external place to boulders.
"Good...... then, this is the squad division. For once, I think we can handle this... If we break up, let's follow this... but I can't believe we even have that Rufaus Weisslitter."
"By order of His Holiness the Pope is giving them our cooperation"
Rufaus, who was working with Elusha on the squad division, bows his head small. This time, from the upper management, four people, Al and Rufaus, were in attendance momentarily, headed by Tina.
Rufaus was in it because the Patriarchate has a central institute for the period of the Mars Empire. Naturally, Rufaus had stepped in there several times, and it was a decision he might have something to figure out.
"Okay. Then let's go with the basics."
"Our place is used to Imina exploring the ruins. If you ever break up, ask her for help."
"My house is an old house. Find out where your ancestors came from and you'll inevitably be close to the ruins. So I'm relatively used to it."
That's what Imina nodded when she got the words of Rio - who was wearing great armor here on the boulder. And when I heard that, Fu and Elusha were interested.
"Really? Speaking of which, I never heard of Imina's family name..."
"Mm?"
Imina looks a little surprised at Elusha's inquiry. With that said, he didn't think he was talking his full name. and there suddenly Rio pinched his mouth.
'... there is no need to talk. Our names are hidden for a reason. And you must know that my family name would be an alias. "
Rio tells him so, before Imina says anything. We know that their names would be pseudonyms. but somehow rio apparently attached more importance to imina's family name. So, Imina also shut her mouth that she was about to talk about.
"... well, leave those there. It's gonna be a lot of trouble."
"? Well, good... in the meantime, if we break up, I'll take care of it?
"Good. I undertook that"
It is Rio and Imina who somehow stripped away their family names, but I nodded clearly at this inquiry of Elusha. Above all, the rule is not to pry unless the adventurer's past is heard. If you don't talk, you should ignore it.
"Good...... then, it's actually good to start the action tomorrow"
Seeing such Elusha and Imina, Kate issues the decree. I'm guessing this is a position where I'm entrusted with the overall command. As such, the kites decided to take the day off in preparation for tomorrow.
