176 # 165 History of Battleship and Ex Machina.txt




The next day at school, the committee chairmen were pissed at me. They said they were afraid of the catapult, but they don't want me to be angry at them.

In case you're wondering, the Kaito guy won't listen to me.

'It's a man's romance to climb big tits... isn't it? Seigo.

Don't ask me. I'm in trouble, all right?

Speaking of which, did you get the capsule? Maybe you're the only one who can make the trade.

Yeah...well, the point was awesome.

I did.

'Oh! What was that? If it's a mess, what did you get?

I knew I'd get the idea of a mess.

"Little girl.

Again?

Shut up!

Then Kaito's guy asks me every time he's off. But I can't tell you. My sixth sense tells me that talking to this guy won't get me into trouble.


On the way home, I shop at the supermarket and log into the game. When I wake up in bed, I find Ix in bed in his uniform. Pictorially, it looks like I've spent the night with my classmates, so I'm out!

...why are you dressed like that?

'Because the Master was more than happy to see me in these clothes.

I guess it's a foolish question to ask how I know.

'Yes. Because I am connected to the Master.

'Link skills, you're too scary.

'Huh, just promise me this. Don't dress like that in front of other people.

Promise... you mean, an order?

Why rephrase? And why do you look so happy?

For it is our pleasure to have a master to command us.

Exclamation. So I have to give orders to Ix?

Yes. Tell me what to do.

I'm not very good at ordering people around when they say that.

''Well, for now, that outfit is forbidden from now on.

I understand.

Upon hearing the order, Ix dressed as Lily and the others. But why the pause? You're gonna be okay, right? Seriously, stop.

Do you have any other orders?

What else? Hmmm. Ah! You are not allowed to use your link skills without permission.

...... Got it.

That sounds awfully disgusting...but it gives me some privacy.

I went downstairs and found Lily and the others. I knew it wasn't fixed yet.

'I've been meaning to train for a while now, but I don't think I can.

Gone.

They are shocked, but it's inevitable. And so, I'm going to take the love fire, but there's a problem.

"I broke the sword...I'm sorry...I'm sorry.

Don't apologize. You've done your best.

Yes, of course!

I knew it was fragile to begin with, so I don't blame them.

''Hephaistos, you can't make a new sword any time soon, can you?

''Yes. I can make a one-handed sword with the demonic ice block you showed me yesterday, what do you want to do?

"Jeez.

You're going to make your own weapons from Lily and the others, right? Gaze attack.

''If you make a weapon out of a mass of demonic ice, how does it work with fire?''

'It's not good... unfortunately, I don't think it's right for you, Koibito.

The love fire that makes you swoon. It can't be helped.

''Aeon-san, on the contrary, has the same attribute, so it's a good match, but there's a possibility that the effect will be covered by Aeon-san's ice blade that I heard about yesterday.

Ah... an ice sword would certainly cover the effect. Then Lily cheerfully shouts out.

'Then it's still Lily then!

'It's up to Mr. Tact to decide what to do. But personally, I think it would be better to make a new one. If I wanted to, I'd make it out of iron ore.

Well, you will.

All right. Let me put it on hold for now.

I understand.

I digress, but I guess we'll have to get back to training. As I think about it, Setia hands me two wooden swords.

'Please use them.'

When did you make it?

While Mr. Tact was away.

You can thank Setia for that. Training with the love fire. As I thought, Love Fire is strong.

''Ughhhh...I lost...''

I liked the idea of the extraction, though. That was a close call.

Koibito didn't cut the first sword of the buki-uchi, but instead aimed at the pigeon's tail with its hilt. I defended against it just in time, but if I didn't get there in time, I would have lost.

"Master, I wish to fight the master.

Ix starts to say that. Huh? Can you fight?

No problem.

If Ix says so, let's try it.

Ix holds a wooden sword. Hmm? That's...okay. I see. Interesting.

I go on the offensive and you go on the offensive. We trade blows. Iks is perfect... and I'm sure he's mirroring my swordplay.

And he even thinks just like me. He'll deliberately show an opening, and then he'll try to brainstorm, and his response is perfect. I've even recreated a blind spot attack. Shit, this is fun.

But while we were fighting, I discovered Ix's weakness. From the 30th move in a row, his reactions became sluggish.

Perhaps it's the limit of my thinking. Mmm, it's a shame.

''I've lost... the master is a monster.

Hey, hey. Don't be rude. Lilly and the others nodded.

"Have you lost your marbles?

'Yes... you need to change parts of your brain to satisfy your master.

Even the brain has parts.

He teaches Aeon and the others how to cook before going to Ix's mothership. All three of them are serious. It's smiling.

It took all three of them a lot of work, but they were able to make a decent meal. Iksu sees this and says he's going to do the same.

As far as I was concerned, he was perfect. That's natural. He's copying me.

"Victory.

""Foul!"

Ix's analysis was unanimously identified as a foul skill.


They tried to head to Ix's mothership with a full stomach, but the problem was Lily and the others.

''Let me go~. Tact~

Please.

Well, I know what you're wondering. I decided to take them with me because I had no choice. However, if a battle occurs, I promised to replace them without question.

Therefore, I'm heading with Lily, Ion, Setia, Love Fire and Ix.

After exchanging the transference stone, we used it immediately and found ourselves right in front of the door to the floating island. I thought we'd be shifting into the forest and building another raft, but apparently that's not the case.

The only thing I can think of is... the position where I fell in the event? That makes sense when you think about it. At any rate, it's a welcome transition before our destination.

Well, Ix. This is the door.

'I'm afraid it's not the Mothership. This is our battleship.

Battleships... would be the least of our worries if they were attacked by a ship with these massive offensive capabilities.

How am I supposed to get in there?

All the master has to do is touch the door.

Um... touch your hand... like this? I touched my hand and heard the voice I heard when the robot appeared.

'Master of Ex Machina confirmed. Front gate, release.''

Then the door opens. Ooh! They all opened their mouths, except for Ix.

''Master, I will guide you from here.

Yeah. Please.

We started exploring the Ex Machina Battleship. However, we didn't get to see everything. I asked Ix why.

'I think it's because of the low level of me and my master.

I see. I suppose that's only natural. Iks is still level 1, and I'm not very strong. But this one has the potential to move the battleship up a level. I have another goal.

According to Ix, we can only go to Hangar I and Factory I. There's nothing in Hangar I.

There's nothing in Hangar 1... yeah...

This is supposed to be where we store our weapons and such, but it looks like they were all used up in the old battle.

Hmm? An ancient battle? It seems that only Lobo appeared in the battle with Astaroth, but let me ask you something.

'The ancient battle is between us, Ex Machina, and the life forms that live on this planet.

'Wait a minute. Were the Ex Machina hostile to humans and subspecies?

Yes, sir.

We've got a problem. This is definitely trouble. Then Ix told me about the history of Ex Machina.

'We came from a different planet than this one. Our home planet was already extinct and we came to this planet to find a new home.

Hmm. It's a familiar scenario.

"But when we came to this planet, we were attacked by humans and their subspecies.

Would that happen if the aliens suddenly came? I don't know what would have happened in real life if that had actually happened.

'When we were attacked, we designated man and his sub-race as the enemy and took action to destroy them.

Wow. But the guys who attacked in the first place are in a bad pattern.

'We have successfully defeated about 70% of the life forms on this planet.

That's too much! Well, there's even a robot on this battleship. It's safe to say that humans are helpless first. I don't know how strong the subspecies are, but at least Astaroth was defeated by a Lobo.

But we had a weakness, too. That's our lack of energy.

Well, we don't have infinite energy... although Ex Machina could make that much.

When we ran out of energy, we ceased to function one by one, and Ex Machina was on the verge of extinction.

So the Ex Machina Commander at the time creates a new Ex Machina to avert the threat of extinction. That is me.

Oh! So it was thanks to Ex Machina's commander-in-chief that I met Ix. I should be grateful.

'We made a pact with a sub-race and a friendly human summoner to create an exmachina that operates on magical energy, but we were already a symbol of fear and could not be very friendly. And the Ex Machina was laid to rest in the hope that one day we would meet a friendly summoner.

I feel like I've been thrown the weight of some epic history on the table. And the problem is the treatment of Ix. If this story is true, the relationship between people and sub-race is bad.

'If the Master commands you to abandon me, I will obey him.

'How could you say that? Don't ever say that again. That's an order.

Yes, Master. Master.

Hmm? Have you smiled a little?

What is it? Master.

No, it's nothing.

Anyway, we'll just have to hide it now. It might not be safe to tell anyone else. Huh? So the sixth sense that worked on Kaito's guy in the morning was right. I want to praise me in the morning.

I pulled myself together and headed to the No. 1 Factory, which was a factory in the science fiction world, but it wasn't running. However, it wasn't running. When I asked Ix about it, it seems to need magic power to move it.

So it needs my magic power. And in order to supply the magic power, you need to register as a master.

''Master, please place your hand on this panel.

I know how this unfolds. The feeling of putting your hand on it and it locks up and then something else is pulled out...I hate this. But it has paid off.

"Master registration complete. 'Master registration complete, magic supply confirmed. The First Factory is now up and running.

Then all at once, the lights came on and the factory heard the sound of operations. But they didn't try to make anything.

'This is an industry that makes our equipment, but we can't make it without materials. The materials for the weapons we want to make can be found on this panel.

Oh, you need the material... or rather, you have a bad feeling about it... but I checked the panel and it was a no-brainer.

Body.
Optical Camouflage Material: 50 light magic stones, 50 dark magic stones, 300 iron ore
Armor F Material: 20 iron ore
Chest Part AAA Material:50 iron ore
Rear part S Material: Iron ore 80
Energy Core F Material: 50 magical stones
Energy Bathery F Material: 50 magical stones

arm (esp. upper arm)
Rocket Punch Material:50 fire magic stone, 300 iron ore

wrist 
Net gun Material: soft yarn 200, iron ore 100

eye
Night vision goggles Material: 50 photomagnetite, 100 iron ore, 100 glass stone
Open site Material: 50 magic stones, 50 glass stones

hand (e.g. clock, etc.)
Energy Shield Material: 300 iron ore, 300 magic stone

ear
Searching Radar Material : Magic Crystal 10, Iron Ore 100
Magic Detection Radar Material:Magic Crystal 100, Iron Ore 100

weapons
Energy Gun Material : Magic Nucleus 1, Magic Crystal 25, Iron Ore 200
Energy Lance Material : 200 iron ore, 100 magic stones
Energy Blade Material:200 iron ore, 100 magic stones
Energy Dagger Material:100 iron ore, 50 magic stones

I feel bad for my body parts! The chest parts ranged from AA to I. The iron ore was up 25 each. It's a perfect bust size. The butt parts range from S-LL, which is a perfect hip size.

You can do whatever you want with the management. But if you want to make it into the type of girl you want, you'll have to do your best to collect materials. I think she told me that.

I don't have time for that. Weapons alone would be too much.

Hmm...I'll do my best? We're going to be collecting materials for a while, I suppose.

As we are about to go out, I have a question, so I ask Ix.

'Ix, can other people get in here too?'

Impossible. Since the Master seems to be the first to register for this battleship, he is the owner of this battleship. Unless he hands over ownership of the battleship, there's no way anyone else can get on board.

I own this ship...wow.

"I'm sure Lily and her friends are okay.

'Master Lily and the others are linked to the Master by contract, so it seems possible... but they are essentially carrying out the elimination without question. Touching them poorly or running around the ship is extremely dangerous.

「「「「 Say (please) something like that sooner rather than later: 」」」」

'Quite so... they've been touching the ship and running around... Lilly and the others have a good point,' says Ix.

'Since the master didn't hear us.

I certainly didn't ask for any precautions in advance. Still, I'd like to have you talk about those kinds of dangerous things.

Is that an order?

'Oh, oh. Orders.

I have confirmed the Master's orders. I will report to you if there is any danger in the future.

Oh, oh. Please.

I'm not used to giving orders.

As I stepped outside and tried to transition again, I realized something important again.

In order for us to get to the forest, we'd have to build a raft after all, wouldn't we? It will be tough to swim. I feel like we need it to get back and forth.

Does that mean we have to cut down the trees again? Sigh...depressing.
