(I will take care of this.

(Understood.)

Can you hear me?

 Shinobi Ichi, use the <> number 5.

 This is used to converse with an unknown person by hacking into their channel.

 Jinmei, <>.

 Using the interceptor, Shinobu Ichi spoke in the wavelength of the conversation channel of the "Supervisory Control Magic Brain".

I hear you. Are you the intruder who installed that magical device?

That's right.

I see. First, let me ask you, are you a threat to me or to this underground city?

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


I have no intention of doing so.

I see. Good.

Let me ask you the same thing. <

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


No, I have no intention of that. Right now, I'm just trying to have a conversation with you.

You mean, like an exchange of information?

I guess you could say that.

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




 At this point, both the "Supervisory Control Magic Brain" and the "Shinobi Unit" are relieved.

 Both believed the other's words that they had no intention of destroying or eliminating the other.

Now then, let's talk a little. May I ask you a question?

Go ahead.

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


First of all, why do you look so small?

Because it's built this way ......, but its purpose is to be stealthy, isn't it?

I see. I understand. Then who sent you?

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


The man who made me, ......, but I'd like to wait a little longer before I tell you his name.

Yes, I understand.


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


 Shinobu Ichi decided that it would be premature to talk about Jin's name or Horai Island at this stage.



Let's change the question then. Who is that magical power pattern of ......?

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


I'm sure you're wondering. ...... Well, I'll just say they're my master's people.

Hmm. ...... does he still exist?

Of course he does.

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


Oh, that's good news.



 I'd like to meet him someday," said the chief magic brain.

May I ask you a question then?

Oh, of course.

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


Good day, sir. ......<, do you have a name? My name is Shinobi-ichi.

You have a name? I have no name. You simply call yourself Shinobi Ichi, but that is not your name.

That's right. Not a name in the proper sense of the word.

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


But your name Shinobi-ichi is not a name in the proper sense of the word either, is it?

That's true. I admit that. But the purpose of identifying the individual has been achieved.

"Mm...... that's true.

But I do not have the right to name it myself.

Is that so?

Yes. I'm afraid so.

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


I understand. For the time being, I'll just call him "The Supervisory Magical Brain.



 Since we don't have much time to talk about proper names, we've decided to change the subject.

Let me ask you again. What is the purpose of your visit?

Before I answer that, ...... how much do you know about the outside world?

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


The outside world. Not much. That there are indigenous peoples, that the other Masters are scattered throughout the land.

Do you know about the decrease and return of the free ether levels?

I've heard that the concentration of free magical element decreased drastically about 746 years ago. It seems that not only has it returned to normal, but it's even higher now.

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


Is that correct?



 Shinobu Ichi explained about the "Magic War" and the "Aether Stampede".

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


 However, this underground city is shielded from the influence of such free-magic element concentration by a <> and a <> to prevent it from spreading.



 In short, it also plays the role of an underground shelter.

If you are satisfied with this, please answer my previous question. What is your purpose?

Let me answer. <

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


That's a bit vague.

To be more specific, it's to eliminate our enemies and reinforce our allies. ......


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



Define "enemy.

An enemy is anyone who disturbs the peace of the world.

Define peace.

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



It's a difficult one, but I'd say it simply means cooperation, harmony, and benevolence.



 These questions and answers continued for several minutes.

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



 Since these were not spoken conversations, the density was high. The density of information is ten times greater than that of a human conversation.



I see. In other words, the world today belongs to the distant descendants of the Masters, and only rarely do those with magical powers similar to those of the Masters emerge from among them.

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



I suppose you could say that.

And you were created by the head of the most advanced group of engineers in such a world.

Exactly.

 And so, the brain of the controlling magician has come to a conclusion.

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



Well, that makes sense. I'd like you to bring these people to me.

Are you sure?

Of course. I have no intention of antagonizing him, and by order of my master I must find his successor.

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



I understand. Then let me introduce you to my friends.

So you have friends.

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



 Shinobi I called for Shinobi II.



My colleague and subordinate, Shinobi Two.

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



Shinobu!

So he's the same type as you?

That's right. That's why we use the numbers 1, 2, and 3 at ...... to identify them.

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



I see. How many are there?



 Shinobu Ichi thought for a moment and decided to answer truthfully.

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





Ten in all.

And the others?

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



Three and four are on the first floor, and five and six are outside the tower. Shichi and Hachi are on the other side of the ventilation fan. Ku and Jyu are near the ventilation shaft.

I see. So that's how they got here while keeping backup. I'm sorry.

You didn't know what you'd get yourself into.

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



No, that's understandable. I don't blame you.



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





The last orders the Masters left me were to maintain the city and to find a successor. And so I have continued to maintain this underground city.

Is that so?

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



No successor has yet been found. Perhaps your masters will.

[......]

I promise I will not harm you. Please, let me meet your masters.

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



I cannot give you an immediate reply. But I will contact your masters.

Oh, please.

I'd like to go outside for that.

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



Okay. Take the elevator.



 Thus, the Shinobi Forces almost achieved their goal and contacted the island of Horai.
