The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

On that day, in the land of Willidis, a single general-purpose combat helicopter was completed.

A skinny silhouette with a tandem-style cockpit around its neck and a combat helicopter reminiscent of my world reminds me of a bee somewhere. A wing that suspends an arm called a stub wing extends from the center of the torso and looks close to the cross when you look at the fuselage from the top.

TH-1 Wasp.

It is a Tokitomo workshop helicopter that was developed with a view to a general-purpose aircraft capable of carrying out personnel transport, small luggage transport, etc., while taking into account combat. This will be the first item of the officially adopted type without the name of the prototype. T is Tokitomo and H is abbreviated as helicopter.

I put on these format numbers because I plan to make them besides helicopters. Fighters for anti-flying dragons, for example.

I got into the Wasp Cockpit, the gunner seat in front of it, with my special suit and helmet in my hand. In the back seat, you are the shapeshifter who has been in charge of the helicopter pilot since the beginning and is in charge of the manoeuvre. By the way, he is given the name Himmel, like SS Maid.

I close the cockpit canopy as Early and Yuna watch from near the hangar gate. Gunner sheets - they also say gunner sheets, but I prefer gunners. In fact, the meaning goes hand in hand.

The back seat is also said to be the captain's seat and is in charge of manoeuvring, but it can also be manoeuvred in the front seat for once. I need a sub when I get into some trouble.

"Master Jin. Start the engine. '

Himmel in the back said to you about the Magic Communicator. I also respond with a telecom device built into my helmet.

"Please be gentle, Himmel."

It has two units next to the torso and a large output demon stone engine. The ignition switch is pressed and the engine roars.

A large main rotor that can fit four rotary wings starts spinning. Incidentally, the Demon Stone engine has a magic inlet that sucks the magic power in the atmosphere and suppresses the consumption of magic tanks, while a mechanism for increasing the distance traveled is mounted ahead of the fighters.

Eventually, the Wasp combat helicopter emerged from the parking lot. The first feeling is that you lift it a lot lighter. The wasp itself is made to be lighter in weight, but is designed to fly even when you hold a heavy weight 'luggage'.

Wasp flies at low altitude through the land of Willidis. The helicopter, which bears the name of a predatory large bee, quickly fails to fly with its slim fuselage shape, lightweight body and high-output power.

Along the scheduled flight program, first go around the inner perimeter of Willidis, in front of the Lost Forest.

Continuing the flight without any problems, Wasp eventually approached a shooting range that was likely to mimic an anti-ground attack target.... Well, this is where Gunner Sheet works.

Only one demon stone machine gun emits electric shock bombs is currently mounted on Wasp. Either way, I want to be able to mount tanks for extended range and bombs for ground attacks on the soldier wing that I call stub wings.

Shooting control. Soldier outfit: Demon Stone Machine Cannon.

"Master Jin. As per the program, we will hover at the front 200 meters of the most target '

Copy that.

Beyond the canopy already, on the plains in front of the forest, we see a great deal of it installed. As it was slowly approaching, Wasp's velocity dropped on the fuse. No, it's a transition to hovering. Himmel, who manipulates the fuselage as if it were his hands and feet, performed aerial stillness just seconds later.

I use a firing lever to target the ground. By the way, in the original world military helicopter, there seems to be a system where helmet movements and machine guns link up to make it standard, but there was no attempt to reproduce it here, so it is not adopted.

"Aim. All right, fire!

I pulled the trigger. Machine cannon that keeps throwing out electric bullets that keep pushing. I pulled the trigger for only a second, but still a few shock bombs were released, blowing the target away.

"Hit confirmed!

'Copy that. Next will be an attack while moving. Target number two is low velocity, target number three is a one-strike exit fire at high velocity.'

Himmel said clerically.

Wasp will fly around the shooting range and carry out a predetermined program. I was good at shooting while moving. After blowing up multiple targets, I said.

"All right, let's do the target shooting with the copy core next"

Automatic aiming and shooting tests with mounted copy cores shall be performed from manpower aiming.

The copy core can be automatically manipulated and controlled by the airframe. Shooting should be possible without a gunner. There will be nothing more wrong with Battle Golem than it has already been put into practice. From here on out, I'm a wild horse in a privileged seat.

As expected, the copycore did not shoot a single shot. The test is over. Return from there to the airport. The last test - it is the docking with the personnel transport container.

As a feature not found in the original world combat helicopter, this wasp is equipped with a soldier transport container at the bottom of the torso to carry it. This is because I wanted to bring versatility other than fighting.... Probably, but I feel more likely to use it that way.

The reason for the external container is that no space was set aside for personnel other than cockpits on the wasp body.

"Guidance confirmation. Container, Docking '

With your calm voice, Himmel, Wasp's fuselage came into contact with the transport container and swayed slightly. A copy core mounted on the container links to and guides the copy core of the Wasp. Make this one a success in one shot.

"Confirm Connection"

"All right, lift it up"

"Copy that. We're going up."

Wasp raises the engine's output and jumps up with the container in his torso. I felt the rate of increase slower than earlier.

It lets the engine have as much power as it can fly with a large weight, but it makes a difference in behavior and feel.

In fact, transport containers also have unique ideas in the world where magic can be used, such as constant activation of weight reduction magic, in order to ensure mobility.... If it was the original world, you probably wouldn't be able to jump up with containers and personnel in your arms.

With the transport container in his belly, Wasp swirls over Willidis. You're slowing down, no matter what you see.

"What do you say, Mr. Himmel?

"You just said two-thirds full speed."

Hmm, lighten the container with mitigating magic. This? This time it's weighing in on behalf of people, so it reproduces the actual weight......

'I don't have a problem with just carrying it, but I think it's hard to fight'

"The machine guns themselves have no effect... Well, you don't fight with your luggage, normal."

At best, when we drop soldiers on the battlefield, we'll be able to do ground sweeps and cover them.

"Mr. Himmel, it's time to go home."

Copy that.

Wasp takes a course to the parking lot. At that time, Yuna's voice struck me in the ear.

"Master, Safilo has contacted you. Her Royal Highness Princess Fileille, Her Royal Highness the Duke of Jarzy, said she was seen in the mansion '

"Jarzy did?

As the future king, Early and his cousin, the Duke. Speaking of which, yesterday, Phileille said that Jarzy had come to King's Capital or something.

"Master Early picked me up, but what will your master do?

"For once, it's the Lord here. You can't possibly not welcome me. I'll be right back."

Well, have you seen the battle helicopter test...... No, don't you have that?

Willidis Mansion is semi underground. Mansion windows are basic, only on the south side. And the hangar, including the test site, is northeast to east of the mansion's mountain. Even if you go outside, you won't be able to see it unless you walk further than the fountain.

Either way, the test flight of TH-1 Wasp ended successfully.

Battle readiness in view of the battle against the Great Empire, one of which, I can say, has taken shape. How many planes do we have to complete it and complete and deploy fighters whose utility is in a hurry?
