First, all but the genie group left their equipment and moved out of the ruins. Next, I'll have the group of spirits try to break in with a non-corporeal entity, but they won't be able to get through.

　I'm wearing a gas mask and a soundproof headset. The body armor, infrared jammer, small-scale ECM, and smoke. Heat detectors and oxygen bottles. Finally, I put some neutralizers for acid and alkali.

I used a diamond drill to scrape the door first. Can you test the material with the shavings?　If this doesn't work, maybe acid or explosives?　Well, I could do with a hammer drill.

　So I started to scrape slowly, but then the annoying alarm went off. But the entrance to the mausoleum is closed, and I told the king that I had to make a final check to see if there were any more monsters or if they might be bothering me. In other words, it's perfectly fine.

　Now, after the alarm, is it time for the elimination mechanism?
　But surprisingly, we were contacted by the ruins.

I was surprised to hear from the ruins.　Are you there?

　I know what I'm talking about!　Fest.....
　I'm starting to relapse my old sickness.

Yes, they can hear you, sir.

　It's supposed to be over 4,000 years old... but is it another thought crystal?

''They don't run away even if they're alerted, and their images are obscured by smoke. And if it's impossible to even detect magic, we're screwed!　I want to negotiate with you, so please stop grinding for now. I didn't know there was such a fat thief...''

　I don't want to be the thief, but...
　Let's bluff our way through this one.

"There's no such thing as a thief!　I was officially appointed by the King of the Southern Knights State to be in charge here. Are you the one who's illegal?

'What?　I'm a citizen of Ares, though I've lived here since the beginning?''

　He's an idiot. He took it seriously.

You mean the country that calls itself the new Kingdom of Ares?　Then it's a more western country. If you're talking about the old Ares empire, it fell four thousand years ago, right?　Is this area a territory of the Knights of the South government and has it accepted refugee applications and resident registration?

　Do you think this bluff will get through?

'Ah, I escaped to a private shelter, but in the end, the Empire of Ares was destroyed in the war... Anyway, you're mistaken!　I have no intention of resisting. Please come inside.

　After a voice, the door slid open and we were let in. The inside is surprisingly small, filled with machine-like objects and what looks like storage, and there's only about six tatami mats of space to call a room.

　This is a dungeon........
　Let's stop this because it's vain.

　The owner of the voice seems to be named [Mackenzie], an ancient person who escaped to a shelter after the outbreak of the Great War. Right now, he's transferred his consciousness to thought crystals and has no body. It seems that they were planning to grow frozen clone embryos and transfer their memories once civilization recovered.

''Hello, my name is Ryota, I was put in charge of this place by the current government.

　You're not lying, by the skin of your teeth.
　It's temporary, but it's true, right?

　For the time being, I interviewed him on behalf of the current ruling power. As far as I could tell, he was an ordinary person who had ripped off a high-ranking officer's private shelter.

　As far as I could tell, there was no information, no legitimacy of ownership, and the [I had lived there from the beginning] was a lie. Totally!　There's no limit to the amount of thievery in this world!

　I'm starting to get angry because for all my hard work, there was no yield at all. He was a free construction worker who built the shelter. And he's a temporary worker who only assembles units and has no expertise. To Snowflake's knowledge, it's a real estate invasion crime, and there is no statute of limitations system in the old civilization.

　What's wrong with this guy?

　But this guy is the same as the precarious low-wage workers who were born during the new dispatch law in Japan. Apparently there was a blackening of the dispatch law in the old civilization as well.

　Before the blackening of the dispatch law, it was dispatched workers who walked from one company to another with high salaries. But most of them started their own business after the blackening and became freelancers, consultants, advisors, etc., and some of them registered with management companies. Some of them registered with management companies.

　The business world was suffering from the global recession.
　What they wanted was cheap and easy to cut labor.
　So they took advantage of the negative aspects of globalization.

　When they abandoned the country and moved their headquarters and production to other countries where taxes and wages were lower, the business community threatened the government and forced it to change its dispatch laws. However, such countries are developing countries with dictatorial governments, poor security and little awareness of human rights.

　The business community gave the names of the countries to which they were relocating, but the governments of those countries are not to be trusted at all.
　They didn't want to move their core technology or headquarters functions, only assembly sites at best.

　But the impact on the economy and jobs would be enormous if the assembly sites alone were to disappear. So the government bent the knee and changed the Temporary Staffing Law in the name of structural reform to protect the nation's social security resources and minimum employment.

　But in the end, the government lost power to a populist party calling itself liberal in reaction to the reform, and without a fundamental solution to the problem, the government continued to be governed by popular bureaucracy, and domestic politics was in turmoil. And it seems that a fatal failure of diplomacy led to a war.

　Even though it's an old civilization of another world, the history is very painful.
　It's hard to cut this man off, so we decided to talk it out.


★ We talked about a lot of things.

'No unpaid VR games or free videos?　I don't have farmland, or even farming know-how. It is impossible to survive in today's civilization, where there is no money, no work that can be done, not even cheap entertainment. Please let me go until civilization develops.

　Yeah, well, if it weren't for the Goddess' supply and communication.....　I feel like I could live in this world now, you know?　Nonsense!　I'm supposed to be civilized and intolerable, this confidence must be a mistake.

　Well, we'll find the cause of the confidence later, but I'll deal with Mr. Mackenzie first.

'Hmm. I didn't assume that there were any native survivors either.

　Then Mr. Mackenzie got something up and running and the wall started to move. What if it's a mouthful?　I was alarmed, but it was really a very human response.

　An object that would normally be a high-ranking officer's personal property is placed in front of me. Maybe bribery, even the ancients of this world, people are people, and what they do is similar.......

　However, if you take it as it is, it's blackmail.
　So I have a twist.

　I reported to King Paul [I couldn't enter the ruins]. I decided to give Mackenzie-san the video and game data of the earth, and report to Goddess-sama that I built a friendship with the artificial intelligence of the ruins and received an ancient relic.

　In addition, what I got in exchange was a magic-type electromagnetic rifle (railgun) and a spare collar patch for the former Senior Colonel of the Ares Army. It seems that it also doubles as a rifle user authentication device. It's probably a naval officer because the insignia is made of aquamarine in the shape of a ship.


Specifications of electromagnetic rifle

The magazine is equipped with a ring similar to a hula hoop on its back.

When fired, the primary acceleration of the 1cm Adamantite bullet begins in the ring.

When fired, a non-contact pipe connected to the ring sends it to the rifle.

The barrel length is five times the length of the main body, as a virtual vacuum electromagnetic barrel is deployed by a number of magic circles.

Finally, the barrel fires with secondary acceleration, the gun is a total vacuum structure, including the virtual barrel.

By the way, the gun is a total vacuum structure, including the virtual barrel, and the adamantine rounds float magnetically and have no contact with the structure.


Weaknesses

Because it needs time to recover the vacuum after firing, it is practically a semi-automatic weapon.

It takes only 8 rounds, and once in operation, it runs out of energy in 40 minutes, regardless of the number of rounds left. ・There are only 8 rounds, and once in operation, it takes 40 minutes to run out of energy, regardless of the number of rounds left.


The advantages

The initial speed is an astonishing 10 km/s and yet it can be carried by individuals.

The recoil is canceled out by the opposite direction impact magic.

It has a powerful kinetic energy and the ability to penetrate even the upper dragons.

With a future prediction sight.
(Future positional calculations, not predictions!)


　A penetrating power that could be used against ships and against facilities. Moreover, it is a weapon that is recognized as personal property and can be carried and operated by one person. If this is equipped with infantry, then of course the world will be destroyed.......

　However, although it's powerful, it can only be used once in effect, so what kind of operation was it supposed to be used for?　Even if it's an anti-tank rifle, the preparation time is critical and the power is too much. It's definitely a defective weapon of sorts.

　Even if it's a trump card, 5 minutes of preparation and 40 minutes of operation is too long to use.
　That's why it was decided to put it in storage for now.

　Finally, the amalgamation crystal and the amalgamation of the magic transmission system. The crystals and the amalgamation amalgam seem to be the metal that is used to make a magic circuit.

　It is also said that if you use some kind of magic insulator as a base, you can make a magic tool that converts the magic element into magic power. (Mackenzie can't do that.) If I had gotten my hands on it first, I might have been able to repair the remains of Haluka.　

　The remains of Harka are buried deep in the ground now, but Yukikaze said she'd be happy to give it to Anya as a souvenir, so I brought it back to her. Finally, we sealed the remains of the mausoleum tightly and left.
