Currently we are being chased by numerous guard golems in the ancient ruins for a reason.

'Ryota, no matter how many times you hit it, it will still get up!　Isn't this immortal?

　If you hit it, it will blow a hole in you and you'll be blown up and fall over... but you'll get up again.

　The enemy has a body that resembles an egg or cylinder, with arms, sensors and drive wheels. It is protected by flexible armor. Most of the armaments are out of ammunition, but there are rare individuals left behind and self-destructive attacks, so it's not at all safe.

'It looks like multi-space armour (space armour), with holes in it but no penetration of the main armour. Window flower, use the RWS machine gun to focus on the center of gravity. Midia sniped the hole Windowflower made. Manya is a Saiger 12 thermite incendiary, red tape magazine.

　This is a civilian security robot with additional armor and armor added to its rapidly growing body. However, it kills its power by its high-elasticity tilting armor and blowing itself off, so bullets can't reach the main body.

　After that, it's unclear if the armor is resin or fiber, but it doesn't look like metal. There is a possibility that it may be vulnerable to high heat, so I tried a 12-gauge (shotgun bullet) incendiary bullet. However, it was a homemade thermite incendiary bullet made by stripping the supplied Dragon Breath ammunition.

　For 30 rounds in a 5-bullet magazine. I don't know how hard it was to make them but I can't replace my back. I'm prepared to do the inside job of replenishment.

　Now, how did we get to this point? Let's go back to when we arrived at Mid-Arres, the capital of the new Ares, the capital of the new Emperor of Ares.


Mid-Arres, the capital of the new Imperial State of Ares.

　The main capital of the new Aresian Empire is located at the crossroads of the domestic road. The streets are designed in the style of the old Ares civilization. To put it bluntly, the city looks like a movie set made in the style of the old Aresian Empire.

　However, the capital is the capital, even if it smells taut. There are many blacksmiths and many types of metals handled. The most anticipated is the old Ares Imperial Relic Market.

　Perhaps because this country was the western edge of the Ares continent, there are many relics in good condition. And what we want is a restored self-driving car dug out of the ruins.

　We immediately went to visit the shop...

'High!　It's the smallest and costs 70 gold coins. A desperate price for an off-road truck. I can't seem to get my hands on one of these....

　I thought that since I had a lot of money in Basra, maybe I could buy one. But the price was much higher than I expected: 70 gold pieces for even a two-door toy-like self-driving car. The truck size is several orders of magnitude different.

　At any rate, they were excavated from the ruins of a 4,000 year old car and restored. It is said that large merchant associations and merchants who have been in business for many generations use them carefully from generation to generation.

　By the way, the old civilization was destroyed 4,000 years ago. Nature left behind a few grasslands and forests, and most of it became a wilderness. The advance party of the current gods began to move out 3,000 years ago. Nature's rapid recovery will not occur until more gods move in and start decorating their rooms.

''This is more expensive than buying a house........Ryota-sama, I'm sure the division will be refused by the temporary demon exterminator as well. You don't like debts, and we should come up with something else, something better.

　When you say different, do you mean that container box placement plan that doesn't seem like a living space?

'I've never seen a price like this I'm afraid to even touch it, Ryota.

　Strange as it sounds, this is a new car market for restorations.

　It's a hassle to get rid of a pushy salesman.

Hey, you two over there........is that a gun you're carrying on your back, by any chance?

　The one who called out to me was a little man wearing a deep, wide brimmed straw hat. No, by the sound of his voice, he was a child?



　Phew!　Speaking of which, this guy said [gun]. Could it be that he knows about it!

''Ryota-sama, this one said [gun], but the pronunciation is Ares ancient language. It is a weapon of the old Ares civilization that applied explosive magic, unlike the guns of Earth. We haven't found anything that works in our data, Goddess-sama.''

　Nice assist!
　Window flowers are very reliable.
　Okay, zip it.

"[Gun]?　This is an assault rifle from my home country of Japan in the Far East. The country is not good at magic, so it's a tool to fly the Qigong gravel effectively. By the way, kid. I heard that in this country as well, it is rude to speak to someone suddenly without greeting them?

　I thought I was responding in a stern, mercenary way, with a bit of a warning... You're not going to just cry, are you?　I'm not very good at letting my kids cry.

Oh, excuse me. Nice to meet you, I'm Anya Cougar. I'm also a mechanic and occasionally do research and digging. I'm half dwarf and half brownie, by the way. I'm a grown woman of 21 years old.　Any disrespect is erased by mistaking me for a man, please.

　He took off his hat and showed me his face. A woman, sure, but too much of a baby face for a 21-year-old. The inhabitants of this world can't rely on the age of their appearance at all.



''I'm sorry for mistaking you for a man, I'm sorry. I'm Ryota, and my partner is Midia, and the spirits, Window Flower and Mog. We are the exterminator of the Alp. These weapons are classified. I'm sorry young lady, but I can't tell you about it without a contract with a Japanese god.

　The curiosity of a craftsman and researcher?　I suppose I could at least let you see it but I don't think it's safe to show the details to a quirky expert.

'Anya, please. 　I've got some good information for you... let me sign you up with that god and I'll tell you, okay?

　Curiosity can kill a cat.

　As they say, curiosity kills cats, but you've got some nerve with this unknowing opponent. But I don't do this kind of thing.

　If you're a mechanic, you want skills. But we can't let them propagate the technology. If you sign the contract, the goddess will give you pain before it propagates, so there's nothing to worry about. But as much as I want information about Anya, I don't want her to sign a contract with me in a fraudulent way.

'We are allowed to use the technology for personal use, but we can't make merchandise out of it, that's the rule. Try to break them and you'll be in a lot of pain. And you'll have to help me do my job, too.

You said I could use the technology for my own personal use, right?　I'd love to sign you up. My goal is to return the favor to the dwarven artisans who made fun of me for being half brownie.　It could be a contract, it could be a subordinate, and I'll give you some delicious information!　

　Her physique conveys a strong enthusiasm that you wouldn't imagine from her physique. But being a demon exterminator is a dangerous job... not for a small, artisanal woman, right?
