SIDE: Silfi

Koske's been gone for another week.

I was able to figure out the location of Koske at an early stage. Isla found it early using catalytic ritual magic for exploration. Fortunately, there was a "fresh" catalyst for searching for koske, so I could trust the accuracy.

The problem was the place.

Merynesburg......

Again......

You should say you had a bad feeling about it. It was uncertain how they had travelled this short distance to Merynesburg, but they still used metastasis artifacts. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to travel from Arrihiburg to Merynesburg in about half a day.

How to get us out......

That was the problem. Merynesburg is the political center of the kingdom of Merinard. In other words, it can be said again that it is the center of the enemy. The distance is about five days by carriage, or two to three times that on foot. There are garrisons and fortifications of the Holy King's Army on the way to Merynesburg, but it is unlikely that we can send troops to conduct operations.

The Holy King's army must be sharpening its nerves against us who occupied Arihibourg, and the eyes of surveillance are getting pretty tight. They're scolding the neighborhood around Arihibourg.

Nevertheless, there is no way I won't help Koske. As a Liberation Army, I can't afford to lose Koske, the key to the station, and personally, I can't abandon Koske.

If we can't send in troops, we'll have no choice but to send in a handful of elites...

I'll go.

"No."

"I can't."

No way.

It's out of the question.

Merti, Ira, Da Nang, and Leonard were gathered together and denied.

"Why!?

"How can Sylvie be allowed to infiltrate alone? Think about your position."

"My ears stand out. I can't hide it."

"I agree with Merty."

Me too. It's impossible for a leader to commit a dangerous solo infiltration. "

"Gunu...."

It was correct that there was no sound.

I'll go.

"That won't be possible. You won't be able to hide it from my ears."

My ears might be cured if I cut them to pieces, but Isla's eyes won't be able to hide them.

"Isla is too small to be seen by children in the first place, right? Children's solitude is noticeable."

"You said what I had to say."

"Same to the right"

"I'm not a child...."

I wonder if Merti's words have worked, or if Isla is in trouble. I'm certainly not a child, but I don't know how small my body is.

Well, I can't either.

"The hyena and the face are not suitable for infiltration."

Well, I'll do it.

"Danang will remember his face. They still have a letter of arrangement."

"It's hard because there are horns in the first place. That's why I'm going."

Merty starts saying weird things. Merty would have the same horns.

Merty has horns.

"Sure, just cut it off."

Say something horrible to Kelori. Merty can't possibly not know what it means when a subhuman with a horn drops a horn.

"With Koske's medicine, it wouldn't be dangerous. I'm not afraid of infection."

"No, that's why..."

"Dropping horns is not hard for humans to mistake. I can easily escape by myself."

Sure, Merti might be able to handle it alone... but cutting corners is...

"That's how ready you are to come. And worst of all, even if I die, it will have little impact on the Liberation Army, in this face."

"That's true."

Leonard!

"Your Highness, the truth is the truth. Whatever you say, Merti's position is as a Home Secretary. Our leader, Her Royal Highness, of course, is not as influential as Isla, the leader of the Warlock Corps and head of the R&D department, or Da Nang or myself, who was a leader in the rebellion three years ago."

"That's what it is. Do you know what I'm capable of?

"That's...."

Of course I know, but that's why cutting corners...

"It would be best to have a human Liberation Army soldier infiltrate. There is no one who can be entrusted with power or credibility, right?

"That's right. In fact, the man Cubi brought in betrayed me."

Silence comes into the conference room. In fact, this is a big problem. It is good that Koske was seized, and the truth was discovered by investigating it in general - but as a result, there was mutual mistrust between the subhumans and the human evacuees, or something like a ditch.

Now the conflict that has emerged has calmed down, but we don't know when it will happen again. I am also worried about solving this problem.

"Cubby... next time I see you, I'll shave all your hair and expose you."

And the hair on the tail.

"Of course."

The damage he inflicted on the Liberation Army is immeasurable. Honestly, I feel that the confusion and mutual distrust he caused to the Liberation Army is more damaging than the damage he suffered from the Holy King's Army.

"I'll leave it to Sir Leonard to slay. Please don't hurt yourself."

"Do your best."

After this, Lord Leonard's hand cut off both corners of Merti, and after only one day of medical treatment, she left.

About two weeks later, when my frustration reached its peak, it came.

"This is the Golem transmitter?

"Oh, it's a powerful, stationary type."

I'll keep my chest up before I get a Golem transmitter ready. The communicable range of this stationary Golem communication machine is more than five times that of conventional models. This should be the case in terms of specifications. I honestly don't even know the fine specs because they were made with item creations.

It looks like a desk-sized square box with a microphone and speaker for changing frequencies and making calls, and is a boneless piece without design shards. Sorry, don't ask me for designability. That's the part about the blacksmith Lamia.

"Mr. Koske."

Yeah?

"Even if you can send a message, you can't accept it, right?

"Huh? No, I don't think so. That's five times the range of communication we've got. Enough distance....."

"No, so even if the magic waves originating from this transmitter arrive over there, the magic waves from there will not arrive here?

"... Shit!?

If you say so. Even if the reception sensitivity is increased, the output of the magic wave originating from the other side is insufficient in the first place, and there is nothing we can do to attenuate it before it reaches us. Could this have failed?

"Even if it's a one-sided transmission from here, you'll be able to report it safely, so I don't think it's a waste."

"Yes...."

Let's take into account the creation of an external antenna that enhances the transmission and reception function... If there is a relay station with an amplifier, it would be best, but can it be made with item creation...? I don't think it's that difficult.

The only Golem core I can craft is for Golem communicators, so I think if I want to build a relay station, I need the R&D department to build a Golem core for the relay station.

No, but if it's an item creation, do you have a one-chan...? Let's try it later.

"In the meantime, let's send a message."

"That's right. Try as many frequencies as you can."

"Aurai. Please supply me with magic."

"Yes."

"Okay."

"Yes, sir."

The slime daughters touch the magic supply slots of the large Golem communicators to start supplying magic. I can't feel any magic, but I can see that there is no problem with the supply of magic because the indicator showing the magic reserve is rising gradually. A sharp tool of civilization is awesome.

Looks like the magic stuffing is over.

"All right, here we go... this is Koske, this is Koske. He is currently lurking in a sewer underground in Merynesburg. Me and Merti are safe, and the royal family of the kingdom of Merinard is mostly alive in the castle. No one was taken away."

At the same time, it is now communicating with a prototype large Golem communication machine, and it is likely that it will not receive communications from you. It will also transmit communications with the same content at multiple frequencies used by the Liberation Army, including the frequencies to be used for future communications.

"My throat is dying."

Yes.

"Gaboo!?

Lime suddenly put a tentacle in my mouth.

It's coming down my throat! Because I will! You mean you can't breathe!? If I was in a hurry, I was released.

"Fuck! Whoa, whoa! Ohh....."

"Are you alright?

"Nh, what... oh, my throat doesn't rattle."

The condition of the dying throat was recovering. No, that's great, but it's not a good picture. The pictorial side. Who gets the money?

"I'm surprised you can do it suddenly. Don't do it suddenly in the future."

Hmm?

Lime leans her neck. You can't react like that. It's mostly pictorial.

The taste of lime? Tasteless and odorless... I wonder if there was only a slightly refreshing fragrance. It's not delicious.

"Has it arrived over there?

"Maybe, maybe, I'm sure. There's no way to check."

If the communication reaches the other side, it is likely that Isla will manage to realize the magic wave intensity at which the communication reaches us even if it is not far away. If it's just an output problem, maybe we can do something about it. We should also consider installing an external antenna to ensure transmission and reception... No, should we leave soon?

I'll talk to Merty and the limes. Mm-hmm.
