After the painful training period in Japan (classroom and training), I should have left for another world.
　And yet, for some reason, I was falling through the night sky in an armored car.

Hey Madoha-san, where are you?　Why are they falling from the sky?　I'm not a girl, and I have nothing to do with castles in the sky, okay?

'Ryota-sama, it's not a fall, it's an orbital descent. To be precise, it orbited the satellite orbit at a decelerating pace, and as it lost speed and altitude, it separated its heat-resistant shell so that it could see out. Now it is descending in a giant paraglider. The landing site is also safe, guided by the Mog, right?

"Mogu.

　Well, I think I heard that you can get to another world from space. The destination is the Ares subcontinent, a place and shape just like Europe.

　In fact, the room next to us is also a former earth goddess, but she refused to go there because she didn't want to leave any traces, according to Lady Tengaku.

　A parachute hunter...
　The echoes are good but too scary.

　A paraglider descent when an armored car usually weighs more than 20 tons?

　No.

　In case you're wondering, Kanayako-sama told me it's the latest material and wonder material, less than half the normal weight... but still, I'm afraid of what I'm afraid of!　Whoever thought of the airborne tank must be crazy. It's time for the tranquilizer.

　It's a godsend, which Goddess made for me, because she thought it might be confusing since it's another world. After all, Goddess is kind.

Ryota-sama, we're almost to the ground. The micro-quantum communication satellite has also entered geostationary satellite orbit, only one of which is less accurate, but we can get a rough idea of our current location.

　Quantum communication....
　You mean the quantum teleportation communication?

You threw in a satellite?　What's the performance?
This is a micro multi-functional satellite that can detect and communicate with individual photons whose wavelengths are not easily affected by weather conditions.

　You can't do quantum teleportation communication, can you?

'Oh, you can do photon-by-photon optical communication, great.
'Basically, we can communicate with armoured vehicles at a halt, or with a fixed transmitter and receiver with limited functionality.

　With each photon, you need a high degree of accuracy to transmit and receive.

Well, how accurate is the location?　
Are you sure you know where you are?　The error margin is less than one kilometer. Please note that it is a single satellite.

　Even if it's limited to a stop, a maximum error of 1 km is enough.
　If we can figure out where in the Ares subcontinent it is, we won't get lost on our research journey.

　But a microsatellite with extra capacity.... Kanayako-sama has good taste. The debris is probably about the size of comet debris, so it's long-lived. Unlike Mars, this planet has a magnetosphere, so a small solar flare would not damage the electronics of an armored car.

　Apparently, when the satellite observes a solar flare, it retreats to a safe zone.
　At that time, they will not be able to communicate with the Goddess.



　If I were to compare it to the earth, it would be around Marseille, France.　However, this world is not the same as the earth just because it is similar to the earth. It's only a position that can be compared to the earth.

''Yes Ryota-sama. The Ares Great Mountains in the center of the continent are inhabited by dragons, and there is unease under the power of other countries. This area is stateless, and is dotted with independent settlements, so you can safely make contact with the human race. Even if they are hostile to you, you can control them, so don't worry.

'Only conquerors can be relieved by conquering!　Since the mission is to investigate, can't you just think about escaping in an armored car?　Let's get the window flowers to think peacefully first, shall we?

　I've grown up a bit, Window Flowers, but I still have a tendency to let my humane considerations slip. Hopefully we'll be able to work it out on the mission.

　I've got a heart, so I have to make it a mourner that people love.

　While I was fretting about this, it was time to land. Surprisingly little impact, it seems to have mitigated the impact by sliding on the ground.

　But after that, it's hard work. The pallet that carried the armored car is made of metal, and it is designed to become side increasing armor (Schultzen) if it is attached to the armored car after disassembly.

　Simply put, it was a platform to protect an armored car from the impact of falling.
　It can be reused as additional side armor.
　Its disassembly and installation is hard work.

　The metal paraglider rope is also unraveled and used as wire. The parafilm is also made of a thin synthetic fiber called Xyron, which is useful for bulletproofing. So I'm exhausted from disassembly and recovery.

　In the meantime, Window Flower flew to investigate the area with a drone. This drone has four rotors and a fixed wing, a convenient alternative that can transform into copter form and airplane form.

　Copter form is suitable for low-speed covert reconnaissance with a high degree of stability. Its airplane form has a high speed and range, making it ideal for long-range reconnaissance. Its electric and diesel hybrids allow it to fly with low noise and high speed. This makes maintenance difficult...

　It is designed for the military, so its flight time far exceeds that of civilian aircraft, but it is bigger than that. It has a variety of optical sensors, a sound collection function, and a laser rangefinder that can also support combat information. Modern technology is great without regard to cost. However, it is a reconnaissance device and is not armed.

"Ryota-sama, we've found a sub-tribe at a relatively close range. The threat level is low.

　The transmission of the discovery of the settlement came in as soon as possible.

It's a good idea, I've loaded the surplus descent equipment onto the rear carrier and covered it with para cloth. I'm going to hide the rest of the armored car, but is there a good place near the village?

There's no need to hide them. There are a few of them, but they are the legacy of the old civilization, and they are similar in shape to cars. If you disguise it by using woodgrain stickers and para cloth as a top, there is no problem.

Copy that.

Mogu, I'm sorry, but I need your help with another job.
Mogu...

　We'll get our disguise done, eat ration today and sleep in the car. If I go in the middle of the night, I might be wary, my first contact with the locals will be after the sun comes up.



　Also, I was corrected during the training period for being too low in the hips because I was often undocumented or unemployed. According to the correctional instructor, if you get licked, you'll lose it, and you'll have to make the most of your age.

　Could I do well tomorrow?


The next morning

'Well, let's get going, Eastern style clothes, saber, pistol, money, bag, that's it, right?

"Ryota-sama, don't forget your communicator and camera. I'll support you with that.

The combination of human and spirit was unnatural. Well, it's not a problem if you can translate it.

　We approached the village slowly and unobtrusively so as not to be alarmed. After crossing the farmland, we were almost to the village protected by a wall of logs when we heard a voice from the turret.

'That carriage there?　Stop!　What do you want in this settlement!

　I studied the language, but I'm still worried about it. So, I was reassured by the translation by Window Flowers.

''My name is Ohnaka Ryota. I am from Japan, in the Far East. I came here because my ship was wrecked in a storm, and after searching the area in a self-propelled car that I pulled up, I finally found a human settlement.

　The other person's expression is hard.
　Are they still on guard?

"I am short of food, and I know this continent only by reputation, but I have the money from Perlonia. I have come to ask you for food and shelter, for which I am willing to pay you. And if you could teach me something about geography, if you could, I would appreciate it.

　I could say that!　I said it!
　I can do it!
　Goddess, I've passed, haven't I?

Oh, you don't know the first thing about it!　I'm going to get the chief to come back and talk to you again then!

　Unfortunately, it was a waste of energy.

　While I was practicing my lines of conversation with Chou, I saw an old man in the tower. A hunter-like man with a bow. A young woman with a bow appears as well.

　If you look closely, you can see that the man with the bow is human. The chief and the woman do not seem to be purely human from their appearance. They looked at each other a little bit and gave the same answer.

I'm sure you're not familiar with the clothing and the hair and skin of the Eastern style. You have short legs for a human being.......are you a half dwarf or something?

'Our people are almost as long and short as they are tall and short-legged!　Is there something wrong with the way you look?

No, no problem. Most of the people in this settlement are half-breeds or mongrels, and they're wary of strangers.

　I got mad and reacted.
　Now I'm sorry.

I see. I see. We don't discriminate on the basis of race. Please be assured of that.
Well, we're shipwrecked, but we're on this continent. What are you doing in such a remote location?

　So I began to make up a story I'd prepared.
