The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

Next morning.

After the three holidays, we can finally start full activity today.

That's why I went down the mountain in the morning in a temper, to Gimru.

"Good morning!

At the North Gate, he greets the man at the gatekeeper who stood and asks him to let him through, and runs straight for the corner of Slam Street.

When we arrived in front of the big, old building, which is thus our destination, there was a large crowd there.

"Excuse me. Hey sorry...... ah!

Scratching a mountain of people forward, out in the front row were seven sent by the Duke's house to find them. Further around it are Mr. Serge, head of the Morgan Chamber of Commerce; Mr. Arnold, head of the bureau; and Mr. Ribble, summariser of Slam Street. There are also their escorts and thoughtful figures and carriages around them, which make them a different group of atmospheres from the rest of us.

approaching with greetings there,

"Master Lyoma. Don't worry, it's still sooner than promised."

"We were just quick. The kids aren't ready yet."

To each of you replies, Mr Serge and Mr Ribble also gave a light explanation of the current situation.

By the way, Mr. Ribble refers to the children who live in the old, big building in front of them. This is one of the many places in the slums of Gimru where unaccompanied children come together and live called "children's homes”.

However,

"It's an old building no matter how many times you look at it..."

I may be rude, but I would still prefer to choose words.

"Naturally. I checked the bureau records, and they say this building was built before this city was built, as a warehouse to keep materials for building the city.

As the work progressed, the material storage areas were repeatedly built and relocated, and this now seems to be happening after warehouses that were no longer in use were paid down to the private sector. "

When I hear Mr Arnold's explanation for agreeing with me, there are many convincing parts.

The exterior is not decorative, and perhaps the stone building weighing in on size and sturdiness contemplates the flow lines of loading and unloading. A total of 4 entrances and exits with wide carriage rides are two on the table and behind.

Also, you were alert to the theft of what you put inside, its entrance and exit doors were thick, the windows felt like very small things were minimized for brightness and ventilation, and there were signs that the building was surrounded by tall walls and used to have heavy gates that further separated the interior and exterior of the site. Above all, if I had done the proper construction, it wouldn't be strange if it had collapsed at all.

... Although, at this point, it only looks like ruins to me, and I don't think it's the right environment for a child to live in.

"Mr. Ribble. Confirmation, but when the kids are ready and come out, after making sure the building and the premises are deserted, can we go right into the demolition work (...)?

"It's better to just get it done, and you can quickly get your hands on rebuilding your kids' homes (...), right? We'll split them up and keep them while we rebuild, but the sooner the better, the better."

It's a tough face, a rambling language, but it's about the kid I'm thinking about. Mr. Ribble rode my suggestion to that end and talked to the owners of this facility, the people who support the children's lives and, above all, the children who live there.

The purpose is for me to build a garbage disposal plant or factory. But working together, he said, "we can expect to improve the living environment."

This is how I can demolish this house today.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Let us be firm until we rebuild so that we do not betray our credibility and expectations"

"Do that. Not only me, but as you can see, there are a lot of spectators."

"Yes!"

Rumor has it, the kids keep coming out of the building.

And then I'll check...

"The workers I was asking for, to help me with the work"

"Then I made it easier to secure about 30 people for now. If you call me, I'll have you waiting as long as you can."

"Thank you"

Enough for the first day, for now. Okay, then.

"Mr. Serge and Mr. Renaise. What you were asking for."

"It's old clothes for kids, isn't it? I have enough to buy. The product is in my carriage. You did the laundry earlier."

"The cleaner slime I have deposited is currently in this carriage. Lillian, the contractor, will accompany the children and guide them."

"That's plenty. Thank you."

Mr. Renese, what I was asking of the three maids was a travel version of a full-body cleaning service using cleaner slime. After the children are refreshed with it, they decide to distribute the old clothes prepared for Mr. Serge as a nuisance fee.

"The house is going to be new in this cold weather, I don't even think it's annoying enough to say so. Well, thank you for your care."

"Welcome.... Now, maybe a little faster than time, do you want to start? From what I've seen, it looks like we're all set."

"Well, you can start."

The children gathering near the entrance to the building are about 50 in all, from about kindergarten age to middle school. Looks like they're checking numbers around the older kids now.

"Then Mr. Ribble and Mr. Serge are talking about the children. And thank you, Mr. Renaise and the others."

"" "Yes, sir." "

"Ooh."

I'll take care of it.

So... I have detective magic and visual confirmation with Mr. Hughes and the others that no one is inside the building or even on the children's house property. Check the number of children, make sure they're all outside, and finally get into the demolition work.

"Well, I'll get you a worker."

"Ah, Mr. Zeph!

"What is it?

"I'd like to ask you to call and gather the workers, but I'd like you to wait a minute to get into the demolition work. If I was playing with the slime during the rest of the day, I'd like to give it a try because I had an unexpected result or a discovery that I might be able to use for work. Because there's a good chance of success, and I think this will help even more if it succeeds."

"Wow, I know what you mean."

"As always, when it comes to slime, enthusiasm and pressure are amazing."

"Oh, excuse me..."

I've done it again, but OK is out, so let's not hesitate to experiment.

First, ask Mr. Hughes and the others to leave the premises, too, to make sure no one is there.

Seems persistent, but safety checks at construction sites are important.

I'll be ready when I get out of the premises myself, just in case, and I take the larger ones I have prepared from the Dimension Home.

"Hey, we haven't done our job yet?

"That kid, what are you doing?

"Whatever, but I was wondering if you could just..."

From behind, we hear the dissatisfaction of the hired workers and the stirring of the gathered people,

"Heh heh... looks like we have a spectator today... let's try it a little flashy!

You can put a lot of magic into the contents of your temper!

――

Whoa, apparently there was someone in the group who could use magic. The word magic crosses on purpose.

"I wonder if this will do."

Decide that the magic consumed is about a quarter, but it will be enough.

At the same time, the sand that was filled with the contents of the bamboo rose with the whirlwind.

"Whoa!?

The sand, like a single pillar, rises at once higher than the building in front of you, and now it lags as a fast-spinning sphere that wraps around the wind. Here I am, lowering my right hand, which was raised naturally.

With this as a signal, sand and wind scatter once, regrouping in the air and plummeting (...).

The surroundings also sound similar to fine waves played by wind and sand grains, reaching instantly from the roof to the ground.

As a result...

"Hey, what happened now?

"I don't know...... but Jah! If you think there's a sound, there's a line on the wall."

"Lines, scratches, right?

"Isn't that pretty deep? That's a lot of power to scratch that on a stone wall, isn't it?

"No."

What do you mean, no?

"Behind the wound, you can see the inside of the building and the wall on the other side"

"Huh!?

"Me, I have the blood of an animal man and I have confidence in my eyes, for sure."

"That means"

"That girl's magic is a stone wall."

"Were you slashing buildings?

'... hahahahahahahahahahahaha!?

Technically, not “slashed” but “shredded".

As rocky mountains are exposed to rainstorms and over the years become magnificent valleys - sand magic that imagines the magic of loosening the bond of particles with the magic of the earth, cutting the earth and stones with the wind and sand momentum that blows them, and turning them into sand.

In addition, the first sand used has been assimilated to "sand slime” beforehand. What happens by that,

"Another clove, now split in two"

A pile of sand descended on the ground, split left to right like crawling through the ground, spaced somewhat apart, to the roof.

The next moment, when two lines of sand are drawn on the wall, a space is created that should not have been there again.

The sand I'm manipulating with sand magic is sand slime that's assimilated to sand. In other words, it is sand, it is also sandsla (...) im (...). And sandslime is able to act with some freedom of its own free will, plus communication between me and my will, which is contracted by obedience magic.

This facilitated "magic control”.

Although it feels strange to put it into words... it feels like “communicating with the sand" of a magically manipulated subject, and “the sand itself moves” according to my will.

Moreover, the influence or “simulated magic activation without chanting” is possible, besides the fact that "magic consumption is suppressed" compared to when the same magic is normally used, and the assimilated "sand slime skills also affect sand” are of great benefit.

In addition, the magical manipulation of sand in the assimilated state also affected sand slime.

First of all, like the evolution to magic slime, the sand slime itself has mastered sand magic by giving it magic. Plus, you've learned my magic and erosion skills.

The use of sand magic allows for fast travel, expands the range of activities, and absorbs the magic given to you to use magic instead.

Above all, magic enhances Sandslime's abilities and skills.

Isn't this the kind of state where sandslime acts like a wand that aids magic, and I take on the role of a magic tank to complement each other's missing parts?

I'm going to talk about assuming that Sandslime uses magic to use his skills, and I've never used a wand myself, so I can't say it's clear... it's possible to do this, for example.

"Whoa!

After putting vertical cuts in the walls at equal intervals...... divide the sand divided left and right into four more (...) pieces, cutting the walls that were like columns from left and right.

Thus one side of the stone wall was cut off without five minutes, and it collapsed as it roared and rocked the ground.

Naturally then, the smoke rises in line with the collapse. But...

"Please collect it because it's annoying around"

Add the will, image, and magic to “I'll keep the power and range and leave the control of the details to the sand slime." Then, in response to the will, the manipulated sand diffuses, then swirls and turns into a sandstorm that blows “only on the property”.

The sand smoke created by the collapse, by the way, gets caught up in the surroundings and ceases to have any effect on the people who were watching what happened.

"... I've made it so much more powerful, do you want me to keep doing it all?"

That converges the sandstorm, which rose to a density about two stories high, in minutes sharpens the stone and outer walls of the building, exposing the wooden frames that supported the building internally.

This magic, wood is harder to sharpen than a blasted wall...... but if you increase density and rotation and sharpen it, you can also cut it. Looks like there's a rotten part, make it big enough not to let the wind fly, dig it out of the foundation...... OK!

"I wonder if it's like this"

The old building is no longer in sight and has been transformed into a wide sandbox.

The face to face and sides are well visible to those who gather neatly as far as they can see.

This will not affect the surrounding buildings outside the premises.

Ideal and perfect!

While I thought, I felt my gaze and looked behind me.

……

I know most people face-to-face, but people who are relatively shallow with each other are stunned or stunned.

And someone close to me laughs bitterly at “the usual" or “you did it again”.

The sight of everyone who was there came and went with me to the sand mountain behind me.
