"This is great, Ars. Isn't it a foul thing to do?"

"Well, I can understand why my brother Byte would say that. This is a good one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't help but say so as I looked at the paper on the desk with my part-time brother.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the desk was a map.

　A map drawn on a piece of plant paper made of barca.

　But it is an extraordinary one.

　Ai is put on a magic airship and flies around in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the Eye has seen the ground and learned its topographical information perfectly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This means that the terrain information is shared with Kaiser Valkyrie and stored in its memory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a word, the information was an aerial photograph.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A complete topography taken from above from a bird's eye view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But neither I nor my brother Byte could see that topographical information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because we are not the Reed family, we cannot use magic such as [telepathy], and we are not connected to Kaiser Valkyrie.

　But that was solved by Kyle's teleportation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He telegraphed the aerial view of the terrain from the sky, which was necessary for this battle, including the territory of Rheinsatz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, we had a very precise map in front of us, with no mistakes whatsoever.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, this mapping had been done after the development of balloons and airships.

　The Reed family members were placed in vehicles that had the ability to float, and the topography seen from the sky was "photocopied" on paper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this map was completely different from the eye map that we see in front of us now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because the Reed family member observing from the sky can only "telecopy" the terrain within his/her field of view at the time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, until now, they could only take a quick picture of the ground from the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the "telecopy" was repeated many times from multiple viewpoints at multiple locations, and the "telecopied" papers were later put together and manually pieced together.

　Moreover, in order to re-draw the map, he had someone with cartographic skills re-draw the pieces of paper that had been joined together.

　However, it seems that Ai, a virtual persona completely different from human beings, did not need to go through such trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since Ai obtained information directly from what he observed in his field of vision, he did not need to repeat the process of [psychic photography] as if he were taking a photograph.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, he was able to grasp the topography as a single continuous picture or image, instead of trying to fit the topography observed from several different locations together like a jigsaw puzzle.

　This information is stored in Kaiser Valkyrie, and the wise men who [share] knowledge with Kaiser Valkyrie can view it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is as if you could easily view aerial photographs on the Internet, and you can see any place you want, at any magnification you want, in any detail you want.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, it is not limited to just viewing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Those who have access to the knowledge of Kaiser Valkyrie are, of course, those with the surname Reed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, they are able to output the information they are seeing in their minds by copying it onto paper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why Kyle sent us this aerial photo of the topography of the Reinsatz territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since ancient times, maps have been an important source of military information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that is true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And this aerial photograph far surpasses all previous maps.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the first place, the maps that Barca had made so far were also quite good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though they were made by piecing together, the maps that were created based on paper that looked like a photograph of the terrain from the sky were incomparable to the maps that had been made before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this map completely surpasses them.

"This is too convenient. But I'm more worried about the repercussions if this information is leaked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right, Ars. With this, we can plan all we want before we go to war. But if they have something like this, they can use it against us, can't they?　It's too dangerous."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm. Is there a new problem?　Of course, it is necessary to limit the number of people who can [share] with Kaiser Valkyrie, but I wonder if the information can be leaked from them, and if it is possible to set the information that is prohibited to be viewed in the first place. I'll have to check with Ai."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Information is difficult to deal with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I knew that, but I am reminded of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We want to collect information, but we need to be careful not to spread it unnecessarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I agree.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the meantime, should we limit the number of people who can share knowledge with Kaiser Valkyrie in the future?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For now, let's make sure that those who are connected to Kaiser Valkyrie are never allowed to leave Vulcania, the heavenly world, from now on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be like putting them under house arrest in a floating land in the sky, but I don't mind at least that much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, it's not easy to be attacked by outside enemies, it's a comfortable place to live, and there is plenty of food there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Those who are dissatisfied with the situation will have no choice but to cut off their ties with Kaiser Valkyrie, and not be able to access to the information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Looking at the confidential map that Ai had created, I had no choice but to make this decision in order to prevent any information from leaking out.
