In the end, we all worked together to remove the explosives.

　Midia waits in a rear position protected by sandbags and anti-bomb shield.

　She is a lifeguard who rushes to the scene of an emergency.
　She can't do that if she's wounded.
　So it's not a special treatment.

　Besides, it seems that while in the capital, Midea bought a potion with the wages she saved, and she has three doses of it in her possession. If it's not instantaneous death, perhaps the potion can only heal a fatal wound.

　Window flower is a sensor and a structural analyst. I printed out a rough structure diagram, though not all of it. She also gave me a rough idea of the functions of each part.

　It was me and Anya who did the disassembly work.

　I didn't have enough skills, so I helped Anya.

'These two cables control the detonation. It's a simple amateurish contraption that explodes if you cut one of them off first. But it's handmade, and it's not standardized, so the margin of error is unknown, and it's delicate.

　The cable seems to be too far apart to disconnect at the same time. Perhaps a special device is used to release it.

It seems to be an electric signal type. I'm also an electronic genie, as long as the cables aren't too far apart, I can keep the power on. If it fails, it will take about a second to detonate. If one of you holds the anti-destruct shield and defends against explosions on my signal, there is a chance that you can avoid instant death.

　Well, the window flower was an electronic spirit, I forgot... well, I'm too technical to talk about it at all when I remember.

'Then it's my role to cut. Window Flower is your husband's contracted spirit, right?　We should be able to share our senses. So I'll leave the shielding to your husband, okay?

　Manya is ready with nipa in both hands.
　I just became a mate the other day and you're already putting your life in my hands?
　I know it's a big responsibility but I'm going to live up to it.　I won't let you die!

'Okay, I'll get the shield. Midea is on her face, with her shield tipped to the side in front of her and waiting. It's my job to stay intact so I can move, right?　Don't be in a hurry if you're worried, just make sure it's safe before you move on, okay?

Okay, I will never get hurt!

　Midia has made sure she understands her role. You've grown up compared to when you were in the village I can see that we've grown as a team.

"Mogu, I'm going to need you to keep the sandbags reinforced. Don't hesitate to use your magic power to protect Midia.
Mog!

　

'I know it wasn't for nothing but I'm embarrassed to have made such a big deal out of it.

　I was so distracted that I just mumbled a polo message. That made everyone laugh. It's not that I'm an idiot. I'm just happy that everyone is safe. We all know that we were all desperate for our friends.

　It was risky, but it was more useful to me in joining Anya than a bad rookie welcoming party.

　By the way, I was going to dump the explosives tanks far away, but Madoha wanted them, so I gave them to her. It's almost the same as the high performance multi-base gunpowder, and can also be used as a launching agent. Apparently it's twice as powerful as TNT gunpowder, and if it had failed, it would have been bad.

　Well, as it turned out, the window flower's mood had improved tremendously.

　There are many chemicals, including nitroglycerin, that can be made but are limited to making their own. Window flowers are negotiated with the Goddess if you have time, but this time there are no restrictions on the amount of possession since they were acquired on site. So window flowers began to expect further acquisitions and other gunpowder at the ruins.

　The regulation is because it's difficult to manage and dangerous, or too toxic, or too powerful, etc. But Windowflower negotiated with tobacco and won a permit to produce picric acid, which was difficult to manage. Since then, they've had a taste for it and are always looking for opportunities.


★ I quickly analyzed the golem.

　It's not a dedicated workshop, so the details are unclear, but I'll list what we found out.

1. There were improvised rocket launchers and internal firearms, but they were out of ammunition. It seems to be a characteristic of the end-of-the-century relics of the era of magnesium depletion. Fuel is bio-dazel, and the raw material is probably scavenger slime.

There is a popular theory that the war consumed a lot of magnesium and that the magnesium in the atmosphere was thin.

2, Many of the ancient artifacts found in this area are the same as the parts of guard golems. It is expected that in ancient times, there was a field battle to intercept the thieves. The fact that it's out of ammunition is probably because it was used up in that battle.

The basis of the 3-Guard Golem is sleep mode, a mechanism that activates when a passive magic sensor responds. It could also act independently, but it was set to be remotely controlled. It is believed to be remotely controlled by an ancient AI called Thinking Crystals.

That's all.


This is as far as I know. I was able to defeat two of them, but it's too dangerous to engage them considering their suicide attacks. The Thinking Crystals are definitely in the biggest building in the center of the ruins. We'll just have to find some way to destroy the Thinking Crystals, or find a way to jam their communications....

　Communication is difficult to jam with the old civilization's magic technology. But with my magical stealth, the golem shouldn't react...

'Actually, my skin has an effect to counteract magic, the passive magic sensor can't detect it. I think I can reach the thinking crystal on my own. So can you tell me how to destroy the Thinking Crystals?

　On Earth, even the gods thought that the magic stealth ability was just an extra. But in reality, it's incredibly useful. Oh, shit!　When I return to Earth, I'll probably be a guinea pig for Lord Kinyako.

Thinking crystals are fragile.　Normally, it would be countered to some extent, but even then, it would break even with a physical impact. Even with incomplete destruction, dysfunction is a certainty. But are you going to go it alone, husband?　It's dangerous, and if that's the case, we're all going to destroy it together...

　Let the leader dress up once in a while. Also, it's not important, but it seems that Anya has decided to call me her husband. In Japanese, it has many meanings, so it's a little complicated.

'No, it's safer to be alone than with everyone else, you know?　I'm an investigator, and my training was more about escape and hiding than combat training. I'd rather run away and bring back information than fight. That's why I'm an expert. A rice cake maker, right?

　I managed to convince everyone.
　Reluctantly, we all agreed.
　I had to go in alone the next morning.

　I had to succeed at all costs. If I failed or passed the scheduled time, everyone would come to my rescue.

'Hey, if they can't see you, there's nothing to worry about. Besides, I'm stubborn and good at running and hiding, okay?　Then we'll set up our roles and arrangements while there's still time in the day. Then we go to bed. If you worry too much about me, I won't be able to sleep, and I don't want you to screw up the mission because of lack of sleep, do you?

　It's not that I'm not scared, but it's reasonable and what I offered myself. There's nothing to worry about now.

　Well, I guess I'll just get ready and go to bed for tomorrow.


A certain place in Japan

"You know your 7.62 millimeter gun doesn't have enough firepower.　Do you want to switch to a minigun or a caliber?
"....12.7mm we don't have the production facilities the minigun it consumes a lot of bullets. .....

It's all right, I'll supply. Keep it up!
