Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 222 "Crying, Crying, Crying"

"Cerberus..."

Looking up at a four-legged dog shaped from steel, Letty rebelled against his name.

The giant statue, which is not in the activated state, is only sitting there without fine motion, but enough pressure comes to its shoulders.

"I thought it would take a lot of trouble to bring three mechanical cows, so I had a little time to make them."

Neva whispers as she slaps Cerberus' forefoot.

It seems that she made this with Letty in mind.

"With their AI cores on their heads, they can continue to gain advanced AI processing power. After all, the central head is the main one, and the left and right heads are in the form of an auxiliary one.

Plus, the plane is made of black steel, has ample defense, and is armed enough to fight a little. He's got three heads and a wide field of view, and he's a watchdog.

Of course, the transport capacity is bigger than three mechanical cows, and the containers of the torso can be replaced to provide quick replenishment, and the tarp is complete and easy to carry.

We can't fly to the boulder, but we can trample most terrain because of the high output, and we have slots for extra large batteries, so we should have enough time. "

Neva talks about selling points for a long time.

Even though she was a little overwhelmed, Letty felt the dog's awesomeness.

"Ah, Letty has over 60 mechanical skills, right? Then I'll put a saddle on my back."

"Mm, that's a little attractive."

Finally whispering such a dropping complain, Letty finally falls.

"Also, I want you to tell me how it feels to use it sometimes because it is a prototype. If there is any dissatisfaction, we will take care of it as much as possible, and we will consult on the request for modification parts."

"Are you sure you want to make it that far?

"It's like half a hobby. Ah, I'll get paid properly."

Neva offers Letty the money to make her eyes black and white.

I can't say that it is cheap even if my mouth is ripped, but it is still a cheap price if I listen to the previous sales talk.

Unlike me, Letty, who is usually neat, has room in her pocket and pays instantly.

"It's too much! Then you can do the conversion. I'll get you a saddle."

"I see. Thank you for the good stuff."

Both have a good smile, and the negotiations are concluded satisfactorily.

Letty quickly opened the heads of the calves who were waiting by the wall and took out the built-in AI core.

It's a cylindrical object wrapped in a silver metal exterior, and it's packed with everything they've ever walked.

She carries it carefully into Neva's open Cerberus head.

"In the middle is callus, right? I've known you the longest and I'm a veteran. ―" Convert "

When the cylinder is inserted into the slot, the chatter and mechanism move to automatically capture the core.

Insert the jagged and sirloin AI core on the left and right sides and close the lid.

Well, please switch it on.

Encouraged by Neva, Letty touches the tip of Cerberus' nose with her fingertips.

"--Start"

The technique is activated and sparks are scattered with thin fingertips.

The black giant trembles slightly and the six eyes of the three heads open simultaneously.

Red and sparkling eyes gather towards the master (Letty) who stands in front of him.

After a few seconds of silence, they hung their heads uniformly.

"You know Letty well."

"Of course. Even if they change their appearance, the caribou are still inside."

Looking at Letty stroking her three heads with joy, a lot of doubt passes behind her head.

"Speaking of which, we've got three heads, what's your name?

"Mmm, that's right. Kalbi, Halami, and Sirloin are the names of their heads, so you should think about something new."

Ha, let's think about Letty.

Honestly, I thought it would be okay to inherit Calvi's name on behalf of the three heads, but she didn't think so.

"Cerberus is the gatekeeper of hell, right?

Well, to put it simply...

"Hell is cold."

"... maybe? Some say Hellfire and it may be hot, but I feel cold in Cerberus."

As if to see something, she throws a question around.

Then she nodded and suddenly said with her hand.

"I've decided! This child's name is“ Pretend to be a servant "! So that even cold, frosty hell can run cheerfully!

"... that's definitely not the only reason."

I have nothing to say to Letty to consolidate her heart and will.

If the person is satisfied with it, that's fine.

Well then, I'll pretend to have a saddle on my servant. The battery's full, so we'll be up and running in no time. "

"Thank you for everything! I'll be back as soon as this expedition is over."

"You can take your time. It's like fun. Well, I'd be glad if it could be of any help."

That's how Neva fits her collar as a servant and attaches harness-like instruments.

It seems that with this, you can ride it using your Machine Operation skills.

Parallel to the work, the luggage that had been loaded into the body in front of the calves was transferred with the toca.

Letty proceeded to confirm the operation and function, and by the time the luggage was loaded, it was also completed.

"Mr. Neva, if you work hard on this, will you be able to ride about three people?

"Yeah? Well, is there a problem with the payload...? When I get into the container, it's going to get messed up in a boulder."

"I see...."

Letty nodded at the answer and glanced at me and Toka.

I had a slightly unpleasant feeling, but she wouldn't do anything so weird, and I thought it would be easy.

"Noooooooo!!!

"Uhhhhhh!?

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

There was a four-legged dog running vigorously through the dense trees of the forest.

It was riding the ground with thick limbs and walking straight through the trees with its left and right heads.

Exactly the thrust, here we go.

Mid neck - Calvi roars to match his master's excitement.

They will also be intoxicated by the power and speed they have never felt before.

"Come on, come on! Blow up the Forest Wolf!

Responding to Letty, who straddles her neck and flies bravely, the serpent pretends to be even faster.

I used my whole body desperately to cling to the back of my servant, trembling at the sight of poor forest wolf in my sleepy eyes blowing away in a rush.

"Toka, are you okay?"

"Hmm, somehow... < Climbing > Without skills, I would have died instantly...."

The toca sitting behind me, on my waist pretending to be a servant, clinging to my belly seems more difficult.

Anyway, she doesn't have the Machine Operation skill.

For this reason, I only rely on climbing skills to cope with the movements of a mechanical beast servant.

"Mr. Reggie, it's time to get through the Beast Forest!

With her words, the forest passes and enters the moisture-rich lake and marsh.

Despite the moisture, the runner did not loosen up a bit and drove with a high splash.

"I wish I'd gone back to Wade with glass."

"Commissioning is important. First of all, we don't have a certain understanding of the power of pretending to be a servant. Besides, I'm worried about riding Yata Glass because of my size as a servant."

On the back of a servant who vigorously sways up and down, a toca who does not have the skill of "mechanical operation" cannot talk at all.

When I change and complain, I get a fairly decent answer and bite my lips.

"First of all, the driving ability and the transportation ability are excellent. The rest is durability....."

"If you were durable, you'd have knocked down a scattered tree and hit a protozoan."

"No, no, that's only natural. The problem lies ahead."

That's how she points forward.

A servant pretending to be longitudinal in an instant over a fairly large "lake and swamp of water snakes" was already approaching the field boundary.

For a moment, he leaned his neck toward what was waiting behind him, and immediately his face turned pale.

Well, no way...

"Of course!

"Ah! Toca, don't let go of my arm!

Ha, yes!

Grasp the saddle belt with one arm and hold the toca's arm firmly with the other.

Dandan and his powerful servant break through the Snake Lake and Swamp and enter the Armored Fish Falls.

The destination, Wade, is the lower level of the waterfall, which is the upper level.

What separates the two...

"Jump!

With Letty's voice, the servant pretended to accumulate a lot of power and jumped up.

"Pyah!?

"It's okay, I got it!

A large waterfall with white splashes and peaks.

A vast amount of water falling far downwards with the momentum of anger.

Slit the roar, and the black shadow falls into the forest below.

"Pretend to be in shock!

As the ground approached, Toka closed her eyes.

Keeping her eyes open consciously, feeling her arms stretching.

Incidentally, it is not implemented as a countershock attitude.

"Landing!

At the same time as Letty's voice, her sturdy legs grabbed the earth.

In an instant, the force bounced like a spring, and the impact of the fall was converted into energy that ran straight out.

Pretending to be ejected like a bullet, the servant is successfully knocking down the woods beneath the falls without any particular distress.

"Su, that's amazing...."

"It's a mechanical beast made by Mr. Neva. The horsepower and the durability are very different."

Even though Letty was slightly surprised when she decided to fly down, she struggled by tapping on the neck.

... what would have happened if this had failed to jump?

"I really succeeded, so it's wild to think about that."

"I see...."

Letty was already switching her mind as she walked the rope.

Now let's try the maneuverability of pretending to be a servant, and let them run with small sways to sew between irregularly growing trees.

"Toca... toca? It's okay now."

"Ahh, here, I see...."

Because of the strong shock, both physically and mentally, the appearance of the toca has changed slightly from a normal silly appearance.

I still can't seem to stretch, and her arms are so tightly entangled in my hips.

"It's time to get to Wade. I told Amy and the others to wait at the gate."

"Soon... Then we should leave as soon as we meet."

We may need to get Toka back on track before that happens.

In the meantime, I've become accustomed to pretending to be a servant so that I can talk like that.

Rather, is Letty getting used to the operation, or is the AI core learning behavior and optimizing?

Anyway, it'll be pretty stable by the time we get to Wade.

"Fufufu, do you surprise the lactos?"

Well, I guess so.

As Letty laughed invincibly, a few minutes later we were supposed to be new energies.
