"At last, the wise man Guglecus has been relieved of his duties." I'm sorry to see you deported, baboon. "

"I won't be banished to another country!" I was just expelled from a trade union. "

"Let's go down to the wilderness, outlaw." It's not uncommon to be a wizard wanderer. "

"Why does it seem so fun..."

Is that a baboon?

No, in fact, the witch Alberina was really enjoying herself.

"Are you hungry for entertainment or are you lonely after a lonely underground study..."

I feel a lot more horny than I did when I was the leader of the Desert Diggers in Islam.

It would be more appropriate for me to be dawned on researching magical artifacts in the underground.

"I'm not here to whine. I'm just here to see if Alberina's planning something bad.”

"I hate you, but you're satisfied with your life now."

"That's the best part."

Alberina narrowed her eyes and looked around.

A large amount of junk, machines that I have never seen before are separated and tagged or noted.

Here, I continued to study the remains of the Holy Sword Battleship, an ancient artifact (Architect) day and night.

A yearning for a strange world, a way to leap into the world of stars. It is said that it is the dream of the Dark Elf witch to find them for hundreds of years.

"I've come a long way." How about a cup of tea, Gugrecas? "

"... thank you."

Tea brewed from a dark elf. I'm looking forward to seeing what it tastes like.

Alberina dropped a sachet of nonwoven fabric into a tubular glass bottle filled with water.

"The sachet (this) is a tea leaf, and I bought it from a store on the ground." Relieved, baboon ”

"Ah, ahhh"

If you tell me to be reassured, I'm worried.

The glass cylinder is obviously part of some kind of mechanical device. I usually use it instead of tea pot. Is everything okay in terms of hygiene?

"Instant tea is convenient." The blend of tea leaves is also my favorite

When Alberina put her hand on the glass cylinder, it instantly boiled. The extract of the tea leaves leaks out.

Alberina manipulates the magic of fire at will. I was impressed by her delicate thermal and magic control technology, but the glass was also amazing.

Is that heat-resistant glass?

"It was a positron cannon cover." Modern magic and alchemy can't make this super-hard glass. ”

"I'm not exhausted."

Isn't that right?

Alberina pours tea into two tea cups as she sneezes. I take one and enjoy the fragrance.

Is there anything unusual on the ground?

"No, nothing in particular." The peace itself is too peaceful to yawn. "

I see, I'm glad to hear that.

Gentle conversation over a cup of tea.

There was no roughness when I met the Dark Elves. Now I'm a secret seeker, the lord of the underworld.

I've lost my appearance, too.

"Hibiki..." Is that why you're selling oil in a place like this? We'll be home soon, my family is waiting for us, right? "

“If you suddenly come home after noon, you'll think you're unemployed.”

"Oh, it's already past noon!?" When you're in the basement, the time interval goes crazy. "

In the first place, she has a longer life than the human race in terms of time.

"Alberina is very enthusiastic about her research. Aren't you tired of it?"

“I don't get tired of it. It's fun here.”

The underground lab lighting that illuminates the brown skin seems to be a diversion from the lighting system on the Holy Sword Battleship's ship. A freely bending wire-like emitter is appropriately wrapped around the wall or ceiling. It serves as sufficient indirect lighting.

"It's like living in a vault..."

Look around the basement lab. It seems to have a simple bedroom in the back, a washbasin that uses groundwater, and a shower room. The members consist of a combination of ancient artifacts.

"I want to unravel the secrets of the Old World...... the Thousand Years Empire (Southern Pedia)." A magical civilization with an extreme apex, no. That's not all. Ultra advanced materials processing technology, alchemy, particle theory, electromagnetic theory... It's what we call a truly super advanced civilization. "

"In my knowledge, I would call it 'scientific civilization'."

"Science, that sounds interesting."

Fragments and artifacts unearthed from the World Tree are bought at a high price by the Royal Government. Magic armor pieces of metal, parts of incomprehensible parts, wire-like unknown materials, and more.

The quest to excavate fragments captured in the trunks of the world's trees is a good source of income for adventurers and enriches the economy of the city of the world's trees.

This is where the artifacts go, the underground research facility in Alberina.

"Thanks to you, the city of the world's trees has developed."

"I can immerse myself in research."

It's called a win-win relationship.

Why don't you take a breath once in a while?

I see. Isn't there a good demon king or an invader from another world or someone with bones?

Alberina gave a mischievous smile.

I haven't seen you at all these days.

"You have no guts." It's all over the place! It would be a good time for just one ambitious person to come out. "

Well, that's a good time.

There was a bit of a snag in the border dispute, but that's all. The border dispute in the north has been settled for a while. In the south, the city based on the "World Tree" is developing and developing as a satellite city state.

Many wizards and witches have come to Metanostadt to earn money in the West's ancient magic nations, the Kingdom of Stralia. We're in a friendly relationship, and there's no conflict.

By the way, some of the people who banished me from the Magic Society were from the Kingdom of Stralia.

When I look at Alberina's lab, I can't help but notice something. A winding pipe intertwines like a living creature, sitting like an object of an anemone.

By the way, what is this?

Well done, you heard me.

Alberina's eyes glowed as she approached the object. I must have been quibbling because I wanted to talk to you.

"... please give me a brief explanation."

The Crystal of Magic Wisdom, the Holy Sword Battleship (...) - I can see that it is part of the Silver (Platinum) component of the Azure Sky (Fatimart).

"I've finally restored it to this point." This seems to be one of the magic institutions that supports the operation of the main engine of the Holy Sword Battleship. "

Alberina gently adds her hand to the love.

"Is it the [Pair of Vanishing Magic Conversion Promoters]..."

You remember Guglecus the Wise!

She looked deeply excited.

Well, I'm the one who woke up the Holy Sword Battleship from its eternal slumber and [activated] it.

"Heehee, that's right." At that time, I was so excited that I couldn't afford the year. "

I'll never forgive you again.

The giant anemone chuck had a metallic shine and felt like ceramics. Some of the parts are described in an ultra-ancient language.

"Can you read it?"

Translation magic (yaktus) made it easy to read.

"--Decompression reactor core auxiliary engine A09

Ultra high density tachyon particle generator

[Warning] When operating, retreat outside the bulkhead of the particle capture lattice when the spatial and temporal distortion rate increases "

"Amazing, isn't it, Guglecus?" After all, it's a man I expected. "

"No, just read it. I don't know what it means."

"I'm refreshed, too." Even if you try to charge the magic power to make it work, it won't move. "

It looks like the magic transmission cable is stretching the floor like a root. It is connected to a large magic power accumulator (capacitor). Glass magic panels glow lightly, and various letters and graphs are shaking.

"Particle generation/standby OK"

"Mechanically normal, the magic control technique is also normal. But it doesn't work, does it?"

"No, wait, what if something happens by moving it?" It doesn't have to be blown out of every castle. "

"It just creates unknown particles." If it's dangerous, I can cut off the magic power supply immediately, so you can rest assured. "

Hmmm.

He's dangerous.

Wouldn't it be better to relocate the research facility to the desert area of Israel?

I wonder if there are any factors missing to activate it.

"Activation Factor...?"

I can't help but admire the words.

I once brought the Holy Sword Battleship to life in the Battle of Super Dragon Drusilia.

It was just before that.

With courage, only those who yearn for the future are qualified to manipulate the glory of the Thousand Year Empire (Southern Pedia), the crystals of magic wisdom, the Holy Sword Battleship (...)

Visions shown in the brain. It was a battle princess with blonde hair and blue eyes, dressed in white and radiant armor.

--Inherit the blood of my Metia Starikana! That's the activation factor of the Holy Sword. "

Yes. She was the face of the fairy Metius, no, her sister, Princess Snovel.

Only the blood factor inherited by the royal family (...) or the person who inherited it could move this holy sword.

I was with Fairy Metius and I was able to get it up and running.

Touch the control panel of the glass.

A puff of blue light lit up.

I heard a low vibration sound from the giant object of the anemone.

"Oh...?"

"Guglecus, what have you done!?"

Alberina changed her bloodstream.

"No, I'm nothing..." Métier, can you hear me? "

"- Approval. Particle generation, test operation mode"

“It's starting to run! What the hell!?"

The red light is changing blue one after another, and it is playing more and more high-pitched sounds. It's like humming, like a beautiful angel singing...

Trouble is, I turned my face to Alberina with a bitter smile.

Isn't it better to park this?

That's where I took my breath.

It was as if Alberina was moving slowly like a slow motion. With the voice and movement of the demon, she was shouting like this.

"Guggle, Guggle, Guggle! Korakara is separated......

"Alberina...!?"

The line of sight is dyed white.

That's where my consciousness came to an end.
