 Two <.

 I noticed two things when I was repairing them.

"The basic power is so much higher,......"

 Jin analyzed that it seemed to be about three times more powerful than Refa,...... yes, than Refa, which was supposed to be the same lot.



"Perhaps he was also in charge of the security of the <>."

 Jin guessed so.

 And one more point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com




"It has a built-in weapon."


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 This also seemed to be a remodeling of a guard or defender.

 In other words, these two were heavily customized.

"Moreover, this weapon is called ......"



 This weapon is equivalent to a weapon called <>.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 In other words, it is a <> that can be wielded without being recognized as such.

 Jin thought that it might be ...... suitable as an armament of an automata.

 Then, all the maintenance was completed.

 The most deteriorated part was the <.

 It seems to have been overworked with low concentration of free magic element (ether).

 The skeletal distortion was caused by the load or shock that seems to have been externally applied to the body.

 Damage to the joints of the knees and hips was particularly severe.

"That's good enough.



 Any more and we'll have to rebuild.

"Now, let's reboot."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com




 The old man said that without Reiko, the mini-Reiko would not be enough as an escort force.

"I understand."



 I understand his concern, so Jin does not object to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 As a side note, there is no such danger if the <> is read and analyzed, but that is against Jin's principle, so he basically does not do it.

 He would not hesitate to do so if it were a hostile force, but in the case of a < like this one, Jin would allow a certain amount of privacy even for an automaton.

 However, if Jin repairs the automata and reboots it, the is transferred to him, so there is no danger unless it is a trap.

"<>"

 Jin wakes up the two creatures with the old form of the magic key word (keyword).



"Yes, master."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Yes, master."



 At about the same time, the two bodies were reactivated.

"How are you feeling?


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 to which they both replied, "Fine.



"Good. What are your names?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


My name is Yumie.

My name is Vera.

Okay, Yummy and Vera. We'll keep the names.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Yes, master.

Yes, master.


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Yes, master. Now, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you.

Anything you want to know.


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


First, what is the significance of the facility you two were in? ...... Oh, I'll let Vera answer that. Yumie, let me know if you have any additional information.

"Yes, I understand."


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


The facility has been set up as a final defense base.

"Of course. It was still incomplete at ......?

"Yes, that's correct. Before it was completed, the Aether Stampede occurred and the War of Magic was over.

"...... Wait, how do you know that the Aether Stampede happened?"



 <

"Yes, that's right, we rebooted once and obtained such information at that time.

"I see, because the concentration of free magical element (ether) has recovered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Yes.




"Do you know when that was?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



"Yes. It was the year 3775 of the continental calendar.



 It was, coincidentally, the time when the rose to power and the island of Horai went dormant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



 No wonder the old man could not detect it, Jin felt.



"What happened then?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



"Yes. When I rebooted, I found that the facility was in a bad shape, so I worked with Yumie to maintain it.

And then?

It took about six months to complete the maintenance. After that, we activated the communication equipment to obtain information about the outside world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



I see. Where do you communicate with?

Yes. To other facilities.

The other facility ......, you mean the one that was built during the war?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



No, there are several that were built before that.

I see. And?

Yes. ...... there was only one facility where communication was established."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



"......"



 Well, I guess so, Jin thought to himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



 It was hard to believe that there were still many facilities that were unknown to Jin and the other Horaijima residents who had visited most, if not all, of the lands on Ars.



"May I ask the location of this facility?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



"I am sorry, ............. For security reasons, it is not in my power to answer."

I mean, I have not been informed of it, Master.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



 Yumie added.

 It seems that Vera and Yumie are not informed about the other facilities.

 Indeed, there is no way to leak information that they do not know, and this is an effective measure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



 Even if we were to extract all the contents of their control cores, it would be useless. Not that we would do such a thing, but...



"So, ......, that facility told you what's going on in the world?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



Yes.

So there is a facility somewhere in the world that is in working order?

...... yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



Well, I won't ask you where it is.

I'm afraid not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



So, how did you two get damaged? What happened?

Yes, I'll tell you. We were attacked by an unknown assailant.

What did he look like?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



It was a golem of a type we do not know.



 Vera and Yumie described the golem in detail.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



 It was in a form that was not even in the databank of Jin and the others .......

 However.

"I think this shoulder joint and waist configuration is close to the style of <>. ...... Oh, you guys already know that <> was destroyed ...... or rather divided. Is that correct?"

"Yes. We found out last time we rebooted."

"I see. Do you have any thoughts about ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



Yes. I believe that the will and ideas of the kingdom have been inherited, since it is not destroyed but divided into smaller kingdoms.

Yes, that's true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



"Master, so it's a formality, but it certainly has the characteristics you mentioned. We have never seen this type before, but at the same time we felt that we were close to it.

"I see. ......Letting the identity of the golem aside for the moment, what do you think the purpose of the attack was?"

We think it's the weapons in the vault.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



Master, do you know what was left in the vault?

No, there was nothing.

"...... Then the attackers must have stolen the core of the Gigarth Kaiju."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



"Gigarth?



 The name of the weapon sounds familiar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



 It is an unfinished and incomplete weapon used in the .
