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

Mr. Lassia told me if I could get more than one magic pen.

Only people who are usually involved in administrative tasks have a very fast understanding of their comfort and convenience in writing.

Too bad, though. It's handmade, so we don't have a number yet, I told you. In fact, at Willidis, we are in the process of building a production system so that we can pay each and every one of them.

There is a limit to the number of magic characters that can be made in a day because of the fine work of carving magic characters that convert magic into ink.

The magic pen I gave to Mr. Lassia was completed after an eye-unfriendly task of carving the letters in detail while wearing analytical glasses and enlarging them.

I want you to take care of it.

Well, the end of the year is approaching for the Kingdom of Verilardo. Around here, like the world I was in, a year counts in twelve months.

That's why the homecoming rush begins for Willidis residents and workers.

... It should be, but there can't be a home in this world for humans coming from another world, including me, and the original house for the royalty is the castle of the king's capital, but I don't need to bother to go back in time.

Soldiers, cooks, and clerks who work for Willidis and are from Wang Du can go home, but those who are elsewhere in their homeland were also in danger on the road and many remained. Homecoming in Japan is different. It is a world of slaughter.

Some people don't have a home to go back to.

We still have Sakilis, Croha, Vinde and the maids because we don't have a hometown. "There's no one left in me anymore," Daska said.

Yuna seems to have a family, but refused to go home. He did not try to explain his reasons, but his former mentor, Mr. Daska, said that he had a past in which he was not close to his family, ran away from home, popped up and apprenticed.

By the way, it seems Yuna's parents were also Mr. Daska's early apprentices.... Is there such a connection?

"Sometimes, just keep in touch with him."

Mr. Daska told Yuna softly, but from how she looked, he didn't seem to feel about it. Oh, boy.

And Marcus, one of our few homecoming groups. The second son of the Count Valiere family comes from the western region of the Kingdom.

Once before the dawn of the year, he said he was going home, but before the scheduled date of departure, heavy snow struck the Kingdom of Veriraldo and he was unable to move.

"If it's clear by the end of the year, it'll be tanky and poinix, and I'll send it to you."

I told Marcus I had to stop. We didn't look bad if we could spend some time in comfortable Willidis until we were critical.

I was in the third hangar. It's heavy snow outside, so the gate to the outside is closed.

Large reconnaissance planes (poinix) are paid for, and instead are ships from the Ancient Mechanical Civilization era - the Sizzne-Class Missile.

Thirty-eight meters long. Two rectangular hulls and an engine block sticking out left and right at the rear. The overall impression is also like a spaceship in an SF movie.

One single cannon to the left and right of the bow and one swivel combined cannon to the top of the center of the hull. Four series of missile launchers to the center left and right as well. A three-shot suspension of a large missile at the bottom of the ship - a Shizne-class weapon - has severely degraded the hull where the ship core was removed over the years, and the missiles are empty. Cannons were also unusable.

Well, I picked up what the elves threw away, and I'll fix what I got. but it is us with little or no knowledge of technology in the age of mechanical civilization.

I can't fix it if I'm supposed to, but I didn't get any questions from Yuna, Gaea, or anyone else who could support me in this matter.

Because we knew we would use the advanced scientific power of the ancient era of mechanical civilization.

In other words, he energized the Ship Core and left it to the ship's automatic repair function. Energy, as we call it here, is magic.

"What a romantic story if once mechanical civilization technology retained its remnants in modern magic and magical currents"

"Right."

Yuna nodded at my words.

It is the same as the regeneration of sky-based light patrol ambals and other groups of ships.

Return the Shipcore, who slept in the Elf's treasure trove, to the base of the missile boat, and then use the magic to perform the regeneration process on your own.... Conversely, without Ship Core, this wouldn't have gone smoothly either.

Most importantly, this time, it won't play as a missile boat.

"What do you mean, master?

"This Shizne class is based on a generic small boat."

I had Shipcore 'Ambal' analyze it, but at that time I also saw variations on this missile boat. Patrol boats, high-speed rescue boats and small armed transport boats are the main ones.

"This time, I decided to make a small modification to this Shizne class"

Specifically, a hangar will be set up that will crush part of the residential area at the rear of the hull and load the equipment there.

"Whatever, there's no one here. When moving, the main thing becomes Ship Core"

Assuming the shapeshifter soldier will be in charge when personnel are needed, the living quarters are minimal. It's just that we might get in and use it, so we won't remove it altogether.

"So, how does your master intend to use this shizne?

"Yeah, I'm going to make it a small landing craft or a versatile general purpose boat"

"Yang Lu... on a sky basis, he made a raid on a Yang Lu Ship."

Yuna put her hand on her own silver hair.

"So you can't?

I said, "No, that's too big."

A transport vessel that was drifting in the aerial floating group and a chimera connecting the rear of the hull of the Ambal class cruiser are currently under construction, but the total length is nearly 200 metres. Suitable for carrying troop-sized tanks and aircraft, but can also be described as a little over the top when making smaller troop movements.

"That ship is too conspicuous when we need to carry troops in secrecy"

"I suppose Wasp's soldier transport container system could carry a small number of people?

"Even if it can carry people, it's not compatible with vehicles."

Large is said to combine small, but things have the right size. Cow Knife Cutting Chicken (Skewer). Using large to accommodate small amounts is exaggerated.

Fortunately, Shizne boats will regenerate faster than Sky-based larger ships.

But if there's one problem, that means we don't have an inventory of floating stones to use on the Shizne boat.

The floating stone used by this small boat, which was inside the elf, was supposedly used for the large elevator in Virya. After the metastatic magic formation was completed, we got it after the blue-skinned elf disturbance that it was stored by the world tree.

... In other words, the floating stone is now used by Poynix. Floating stones recovered in high-altitude floating groups have already been assigned mainly to fighters and some power suits.

This, from one of the TPS-3 silphides to the Shizne boat?

I still have some stuff I want to make, but it hurts that I don't have a spare of floating stones. If you don't get it from somewhere, you can't make it even if you have a plan.

Okay, what's going on?... Looking for the ruins of a new and old civilization, or do we have to take them from somewhere? For example, from the Great Empire...

Diggrattle Great Empire. That's where they keep the air fleet. We have already put more than 100 aerial vessels in service, and it should be noted that we have increased that number. This means that they possess the corresponding floating stones.

Sure, there must have been some material sent to me by Shapeshifter Intelligence. The Great Empire is also going to exhume the ruins of ancient civilization, so it has secured some heritage on that route. I think the same goes for floating stones.

Full engagement is after spring. But only in intelligence, it's already started.

It might be a good time to start a battle that you can't say stands out. Well, of course, don't reveal who we are, and don't let the enemy get ahead with the army in earnest.
