174 # 163 Ex Machina Performance.txt




Let's listen to them one by one. Let's start off with the machine armament.

''The Machine Armament skill is the skill needed to equip us, the Ex Machina, with the armament we can handle.

Oh! There's no such thing as a dedicated weapon! Come to think of it, Ix doesn't have a weapon.

'Come to think of it, Ix doesn't have a weapon, do you have a weapon that can handle anything?

Using the analysis, I can handle it all. However, we can't use the martial arts skills of a human or anything else.

Oh... You can't use martial arts? But it's great that you can handle all the weapons. I can't use a bow, spear, or axe, for sure. I've never even used a wand before I started the game... but that's an interesting way of putting it.

"What do you mean by using the analysis?

'Your analytical skills allow you to analyze your opponent and reflect on yourself as needed.

'You mean you can analyze the enemy's movements and reflect them back to you?

That's right.

That's great. So if you can analyze my master's battle, you can copy it? Well, that old man wouldn't allow me to analyze it, though.

Then what's the trace?

The detection skill is standard equipment in our ears. The detection skill is standard equipment in our ears, allowing us to determine the location, number and strength of our enemies. However, our current ears do not have a very wide range.

How wide is the range?

It's as far as the town gates from here.

It seems pretty big, doesn't it? But not so much when you think about the vast field? But this detection skill........you've casually negated the entire value of Love Fire and the others' existence. Well, I can't continue to use Ix all the time, and I still need Love Fire and the others.

And next, I'm curious about the conversion.

''Is the conversion skill a skill to wear clothes?''

'No. Originally, the skill was used to replace body parts and equip clothing.

"Replace... body parts? What do you mean?

For example, those ears I mentioned earlier can be replaced with better ears as a refit to increase their effectiveness.

Oh, I see...I guess the difference between it and the machine armor is that it's a weapon or it's not.

'But how did you get dressed?'

We have analyzed the master's image and have equipped it with a refit.

How is that possible? When Setia hears this, she speaks with a shiver.

''Does that mean you are Tact-sama's dress-up doll!

'Setia... let's shut up for a minute. I'm getting off track.

Don't be so weird. Totally....

You can't parse my image, can you?

With my link skills, the master and I are already connected, so it's possible.

I feel like I'm being casually told something scary.

''It sounds...obscene, doesn't it?''

What?

Setia! Don't say it's obscene! Don't be surprised if Aeon is too!

What kind of linking skills do you have?

''Originally, it's a skill for registering masters. And it's also an essential skill for recharging magic power.

What's that magic charge?

It is a skill to recharge our exmachina with magical power. We Ex Machina are powered by magic. We use magic power to use our mechanized armor and other tools, and when our magic power runs out, we enter dormant mode.

Yeah. Now it makes some sense. So the Link skill is a skill to connect a tube to pour magic power into an exmachina, and the Magic Recharge skill is a skill that returns the poured magic power to itself?

''Also, depending on the magic power poured out, my attributes will change as well.

Oh. That's great! So you can change the attributes of your opponent! Wow!

However, in order to perform a magic charge of a different attribute, the charged magic power must be reduced to zero.

I mean, you can't mix them together. That's no use.

'We'll use this capsule to recharge the batteries again. We wouldn't need it if we had a special part, but at the moment we have no choice but to use this capsule.

Ah. So I guess I'll need these capsules then.

Yes, sir. This is necessary because it can recharge and repair our batteries. Furthermore, it has a magic battery on board, so it can extract my magic power and charge it beforehand, so I can charge it at will.

Oh. This capsule was a super useful item. I'll have to take good care of it, but it's a bad idea to leave it here forever.

Shall I put this capsule upstairs in Ix's room?

Is there a problem here?

Maybe not, but you might get touched by a lot of people.

I consent to the move.

Oh, I knew you didn't like it.

So I set up the capsule in Ix's room upstairs. Then I went back downstairs and resumed the conversation.

'Do you know where Ix's weapons and parts are?

It's on our mothership.

The mothership... no way.

If we hit the entrance to the mothership, will anything show up?

A defensive unit will emerge to take out the enemy.

I knew it. That floating island was the mothership of the Ex Machina...then I'll have to go to that floating island, but I don't know how to get there.

The list of contribution points doesn't show anything like that. I'm not sure how to get there, but I'm not sure how to get there. When I looked at the list, I found it. It's an item called the transfer stone "Ancient Island". From the name, it's probably an item for transferring to that island.

It requires 10,000 points...it's surprisingly large...but the island is rich in apples, oranges, and magpies, and there are strong monsters. Plus, it's the mothership of the Ex Machina. It's worth acquiring.

Since we're here, there are a lot of weapons and other things in the war merit points as it is. The highest one is the Astaroth Blade 100,000 pts. Or, from the name, is it an Astaroth drop item? You want me to take him out? Not relying on a robot? Ha, impossible to do.

Many of the other strong weapons are weapons with Karth's name and poisonous weapons. Most of them are related to Astaroth, after all. And there are no weapons from Lobo. It's a shame.

Then there are skill scrolls and so on. The skills I haven't seen before are still very expensive. Weight reduction or something interesting. Maybe it's something that can reduce the weight of weapons and armor. I think it's a pretty important skill for people like me who don't have enough muscle power or this weapon.

And there was a reward for us summoners. That's the skill orbs. Apparently the skill scrolls are for players and the skill orbs are for summoners.

'Heh. So even summoned beasts can take whatever skills they want. That's interesting.

I just said the words.

「「「「 What! 」」」」

Lily and her friends are super responsive. Ix is unresponsive. I guess I can't blame her for this.
