 Reiko and the others go through the hole in the floor to the center of the sphere.

 The interior of the ship is light, and Reiko and the others have no trouble navigating.

 This sphere, like , is also divided into layers. Reiko thinks that it must have been built in a place with gravity.

"There was a staircase here.

 If there is a stairway, there is no need to make a hole.

 Reiko and the others are steadily approaching the center of the building.

"Nothing happened..."

 Reiko mutters to herself, as she is able to proceed so easily that she is almost lost in thought.

"Isn't it a good thing if we can proceed easily?

"That's true, but..."

 Reiko nodded in agreement with Land 23.

 We went one level deeper.

"We should be there by now.

 If the diameter is 50 meters, it is 25 meters to the center. I figured it had to be about 5 levels.

"Isn't it that way?"

 The cables and pipes on the wall are extending toward the direction Rand 22 pointed. It looks like there might be at least one important facility there.

 We walk slowly toward it.

"It's a bulkhead, isn't it?"

 I am sure this is the right place.

I'll open it.

 Rand 22 steps forward and puts his hand on the bulkhead.

"......?"

"What's wrong? It won't open?"

 Reiko asked Land 22, who sounded curious.

"No, it's not. No, it's not. It's just that I didn't get any response.

 True to her words, the door opened with a slight creak.

"By the way, there is air in this compartment, though it is thin.

 Reiko and the others had been talking on the manacam, but now they could hear noises.

"There must have been some kind of air-trapping ward somewhere."

 Reiko and the others walk on, thinking that it does not matter so much.

 And then the magic brain appears before them.

[At last you have come this far, live puppet with the will of a barbarian!

 The brain uttered a voice.

"You are the brain of this sphere?

[That's right.]

What was your purpose?

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



[It was obvious. To extract resources from the planet Arus.]

What are you going to do with the resources?

[We're sending them back to their home planet of Hale.]

After all...

 So far, this is a confirmation.

As a resident of Ars, I cannot allow that.

[We don't need your permission. We'll just take it by force.]

 But Reiko smiled at him.

"You can't do that anymore, can you?"

[Indeed. "Well done, I must say, even for a barbarian.]

What's in Hale anyway?

[My master awaits resources.]

"Your master? After all, are there still people left in Hale?

[Yes.]

"I see."

 "I see." I have gained some valuable information.

"Why from Arus? When in the world did that happen? Couldn't it have been from another planet?"

 Reiko asked questions one after another.

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



[Since 1108 years ago. Of course, we have been to other stars to secure resources. But this one is the most suitable.]

"Why is that?"

[I don't know. It's just that my master told me he was relying on this planet.]

"I see. ......"

 Reiko feels a little sympathy for this magic brain. She is willing to serve her master, but only in that one way.

"But there's something I can't give up either.

[Yes. A live puppet with a small will.

Can you repel my attack?

[No. No, I cannot. But ......]

But?

[But first, one more thing. Even if I am defeated, my master will eventually send someone better than me to represent me.]

"Is that all you have to say?"

[Yes, ....... Is there anything else you'd like to ask?]

"I can't think of anything right off the top of my head. "I can't think of anything right off the top of my head, but it would be useful in a number of ways to take you home in pieces."

[I'm afraid I can't allow that.]

"What?"

[Disperse with me, you barbarian creature, a puppet with a will.

"Well then, I guess we'll be hearing a report soon.

 Saki is also a little excited.

 Suddenly, the magic screen went completely white.

"Whoa!
