Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 588: The Birth of a Girl

Sit on a white sand beach and look at the shimmering blue horizon.

Thanks to the Knights clearing the rough waters of the squid, ships carrying many players continue to move up to the beach.

Since the ship is not yet a well-maintained port, the hull is damaged every time the ship lands, and although it is difficult to disembark, it will not be a barrier if one considers the ship's journey.

Several ships, large and small, arrived on the sandy beach, along with the Knights' accompanying ship, Cesar Penthe.

It is an ice ship deployed around the main ship, Leviathan, and its purpose is to expose the ice, but it is also a ship with the size of a large cruiser. It has a small turnaround and can navigate at high speed, making it easy to operate.

"Hey, Wadazumi, I'm sorry you bothered to come."

Standing on the sand from such a Knightship ship was a girl with her blue hair loose and undulating, Seed 01-Wadazumi, the administrator of Wadazumi.

No problém. Rather, there's nothing you can do about it.

I thanked Wadatsumi for pulling out the plane, and she looked far offshore.

She didn't come for a vacation.

In the first place, the construction plan for the underwater tunnel is still progressing at a rapid pitch, so there should be no time to play with the manager's plane.

Still, there is only one reason why I came all the way aboard the Knights' ship--

"I can't believe my sister......"

She sheds her shoulders in disappointment.

I don't think Wadazumi could believe it either.

Don't tell me that the seed 02-wadazumi that was dropped with fullness was pierced upside down into the sea floor and completely malfunctioned.

For now, can you actually check it first?

Okay, let's go then.

We put on our wetsuits again, and we dive into the sea with our waders.

The Special Managers plane is very tough and can withstand only the usual thin blue one-piece underwater.

"That's it."

Point to the white monolith standing on the sand at the bottom of the ocean when you get to the location in question.

”Ow... you're stabbing me firmly.”

"At the same time, it also has non-destructive attributes." Just now, Letty hit me so hard, she was in pain. "

Hey, Miss Ledge!? You don't have to say that!

As Letty raises the protest behind her, Wadazumi swims swimmingly closer to the control terminal.

When she inspected each part of the white enclosure with a serious face, she tilted her neck strangely.

"Was there a problem?"

”That's right... there's something I'm a little concerned about.”

She nods and performs a series of checks again.

It appears that there is no major damage to the seed deployment control terminal itself. Communication is also good. But...... ”

She slapped the white enclosure and tilted her neck.

For some reason, the crisis signal hasn't been sent out. Normally, if there is an abnormality in the seed deployment control terminal, there will be some kind of report to other administrators and [Takamagahara] immediately...... "

What are you doing? Wadakumi leans her neck and looks at the white enclosure.

I was told that the seeds were in such a state and there was something wrong with the situation that Wadazumi and the others had not been able to grasp.

Seed 02 - If Wadazumi had acted in any way, the Wadazumi would have responded quickly.

For now, can we do something about it?

Okay, as an exceptional measure, please allow the environmental drilling restrictions to be lifted within 1 meter of the seed deployment control terminal's perimeter.

Ai nodded to the words.

I quickly performed "Terrain Maintenance" with the scoop I had prepared, and removed the sand that had accumulated again.

The exposed boulders were then destroyed by the Knights' miners Ay brings with him.

If you have an indestructible attribute around you, you can take it from me with Administrator privileges.

I knew I could do that when I built Homsby.

It's off!

The rocks crushed and the white enclosure sunny and free.

The heavy enclosure fell into the sand, but this time, without piercing, he lay down with the face of the control panel up.

Phew. That's a relief.

You now have access to the Seed 02 - Wadatumi control terminal and can proceed with your construction tasks.

I can only thank Wadazumi for taking the trouble to travel.

It doesn't seem like much work, but I'm sorry that I bothered to dispatch the busy Wadazumi.

Okay, this is also the manager's job.

Wadazumi, who laughs when he says that, is like a god.

Besides, I had a lot to ask my sister.

With a cute smile, Wadazumi says with a low voice.

After all, she seems to be tingling at being summoned during this busy time.

"Ai, can we proceed with the construction mission?"

The Knights' supplies were prepared by the Knights' side, to some extent. Perhaps the first stage of the central computing device [Kusanagi] should be ready for deployment. "

Good. Then we can develop a virtual personality, and we'll be able to hear more about it.

Wadazumi smiles as she smiles.

The Knights were a little frightened by her unusual appearance.

At the direction of Ai, supplies stored in the Tent Village were brought in one after another.

The majority of what is needed for the city's construction is metal.

In anticipation of this, the Knights have already prepared a large amount of metal, which is swallowed up in the control terminal by piston transport.

With each ingot swallowed, the control terminal continued to expand in great complexity, and eventually, when the hexagonal floor was completed underfoot, it levitated to the sea level.

Speaking of which, Seed 02-Wadatumi was an offshore plant type.

It reminds me of what T-1 said before.

Since there is no rocky ground on Oshima Island, the seed 02-wadakumi, which is the base, becomes a floating plant at sea.

It used to sink into the sea, but from now on construction can proceed with buoyancy.

If you give me this much, I can deliver items even if I don't have submersible equipment or swimming skills, so the work is even easier.

Eventually, the hexagonal float increased to seven, and the stabilizer that maintains posture even in the waves began to operate.

The control terminals also began to grow in size, and the number of operation panels that were one had increased to six.

“Seed 02 - Wadatsumi Construction Assignment, Phase 1 is complete”

The progress bar displayed at the top of the control terminal is dyed blue.

The required amount of resources have been delivered and the seed 02-wadakumi has grown to a certain line.

Okay, let's get started.

That's where the waders come in.

She had a machine doll of her own size, a Seed 02-wadazumi exclusively built by Wade overnight.

Wadazumi places a mechanical doll that is similar to herself under the feet of a white control terminal.

Is this Wade's special?

Yes, Wade is also responsible for making the controllers.

Type - The aircraft of the same size as the Fairy is sitting leaning against the control terminal.

While we were watching, a few seconds passed.

Um, Wadatsumi-san?

Letty, who had cut off her roots, opened her mouth reluctantly.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Wadazumi answers with a trembling voice.

However, even if plenty of time passes for about 3 minutes, the Seed 02-Wadakumi mechanical doll won't move.

By the way, does Seed 02-Wadakumi have a name?

As the tired Knights began fishing from the Plant, a question arose.

Seed 02 - It is also troublesome to call it Wadazumi, and it is difficult to distinguish it from Wadazumi.

There must have been a naming vote.

"Is that what happened..."

Is it a measure to ensure fairness between players and broad acceptance?

A gathering of wiki editors submitted the surveyor development plan, and the executive committee of the Izanami project, which is the management, got on board.

As a result, there were currently several voting proposals from the official FPO website and within the game.

Isn't it time to decide the outcome?

If you look at the voting page in Eye's words, you're just a few minutes away.

We were already unconscious from the control device, and we were all surrounded by a window showing the voting page.

Huh. There are quite a few candidates.

"It looks like it was also submitted by the user." I mean, you really didn't know, did you, Reggie? "

the special web sites are lined up with names that are not uniform, such as "Satsuma", "Choshu", "Sea", "Big Wave", "Blue Hawaii", "Sketchy", "Gezo", "Anchor", "Shimizu", etc.

There are many things that are named after the blue color and the sea, but some of them are jokes.

Is it okay for the person who voted for this to actually have that name...? "

It's a big deal, so why don't you get a vote from Mr. Ledge?

I see.

Voting is coming to an end, but the current number of votes won has been masked.

At Letty's inspiration, I also intuitively put my vote in the name of the pin.

It's about time for the deadline.

When the name of the waiting sister was decided, Wadazumi was also peeking around the window.

While Lettie and the others were watching from behind me, the vote was finally closed.

At the same time, the opening of the form and the summary are carried out, and the results are announced immediately.

"Whoa. You're out. Your name--"

Pampakaparn! Mizuhanome-chan, it's a burst of birth!

When I tried to read the results, I heard a loud voice nearby.

Suddenly the voice of an unfamiliar girl turns everyone on Seed 02-Wadazumi's back.

The members of the group who were hanging their fishing lines, and so on, staggered and fell into the sea.

Whoa, whoa? Isn't Har-chan very welcome?

And at the source of the loud noise, a girl stood.

A stream of white mesh flows through my sister's clear, loosely wavy blue hair.

Her eyes are large and round, shining with a deep blue color, and her long eyelashes are bursting up and down.

Wearing a frilly blue dress, she looked around with a bewildered expression.

”...... please......”

Ah! Sister Wadatsumi! Look at this, Har-chan also made a gorgeous managerial debut! The plane that Sister Wade built suits me perfectly. "

When she found her sister standing in the immediate vicinity, the girl who was staring at her gaze twisted around to reveal herself.

Wadazumi leaned lightly, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"Um, Mr. Reggie. Could it be..."

"Ah. That girl..."

We take turns gently, leaving only waders and girls there.

It was right after that.

What are you doing, you!

Ehhh!?

A wide-open wading sword moves toward the girl.

There were two of them, both in appearance and voice, but their expressions were symmetrical.

"I didn't report the situation to Rusu, and returned nothing abnormal, nothing wrong, and all the typographical text. But if you have to come directly, it will be buried upside down on the sea floor. What the hell was that supposed to be!?”

”Hee-hee... I thought I'd make my debut at the same time as Har-chan's name was decided.”

Please report the situation for now! Thoroughly report to the Prime Minister! '

But then, let's make it a surprise--

There will be no surprises or suppliers for you! So, what would you have done if Watakushi hadn't brought the robot doll!? ”

Ah... heheh!

Hey, it's not that!

Machine-gun-like words, the new Seed 02 - Wadakumi's keeper - Mizuhanome peeked through his tongue and smashed his tongue and forehead.

I learned that technique in a classical classroom.

"No, it's not that old."... you don't have any, do you? "

As soon as they were born, the players who heard the fuss gathered around the appearance of a manager who was intensely preaching to her sister.

Noticing the surrounding gaze, Wadazumi sighed heavily and closed his mouth for a moment.

Sawyer, I'm sorry to bother you.

No, I didn't mean to bother you, though.

"Didn't you make your debut in a good way?"

In the meantime, the memories of the players here will be vividly engraved.

The newly-born administrator Mizuhanome comes forward instead of the muddled-looking wadaway.

Well, then, please regain your temper. - Pampakaparn! Marine Resource Gathering Base Seed 02 - Wadazumi Central Computer Virtual Personality, Administrator Mizuhanome! Everyone calls me Haru!

Nooo! The players react loudly to the squeaky sound of the horns.

I was surprised how different the personality of the same Wadazumi was, but the surroundings seemed to be starting to accept it quickly.

In any case, in the future, we will start to enter the second reclamation area centered on this wormhole.

I want to get along with you in anticipation of a long relationship.

I thought so, and suddenly Mizuhanome approached me.

Pampakaparn!

Thinking that he had come close, Mizuhanome suddenly raised his hands high and shouted.

While amazed by the sudden action, he raised his hand to match it.

Huh, Pampakaparn?

Oh no!

And keep it high-touch.

You're a fine girl.

You're the investigator leadge. I've heard a lot from other managers and commanders. "

Mizuhanome said that and glanced at the T-1 behind me.

I'm a little curious about what you're saying.

Haru helped me quickly, and I have to thank her. It's Senku!

"Oh, I think I'd better tell the Knights."... I see, congratulations for the time being. Please take care of me from now on. "

While confused as to whether this was the power of youth, he offered his hand to her.

"Ok! Leave it to me." Haru will guide everyone!

She grabbed the hand she was holding and shook it hugely.

Mizuhanome shook hands with the other players as if they were some kind of idol fan service.

Is that Seed 02 - the administrator of Wadazumi?

Conventionally speaking, this place will also be called [Mizuhanome].

Leti and Ai were dumbfounded to see a bright and cheerful girl greeting the players.

For now, let's install a basic education program.

Looking at her sister who was moving around so vigorously, Wadatsumi said in a tired voice.

As a caretaker, as a sister, she also seemed to have a busy day for a while.
