761-Mechanical God Story ③






 In a big city with tall buildings, in a city where it was still early in the morning and where one could feel an inorganic silence, a girl was walking.
 The girl, dressed roughly in navy blue eyes, blue eyes, navy blue jeans, white shirt and a brown jacket, stopped on the way and approached a large machine set up on the side of the road.
 After pressing a few buttons to operate it, the girl holds up a palm-sized card and a freshly made hot dog comes out of the machine.
 While taking a bite of it and walking away again, the girl muttered to herself to no one.

Everywhere is unattended sales, the payment is electronic money, nowadays there are only a few people who carry around cash.......I wonder. In the 20th or 21st century, I saw a lot of dream predictions here and there, but in the future, it's not as bad as it looks.

 After muttering, the girl stopped with her feet and let out a light sigh. And in the next moment, the girl's figure blurred and disappeared from the scene. Even though it was early in the morning, there are more or less people in the surroundings. However, strangely enough.......no one noticed that the girl had disappeared.

 Before I knew it, the girl was standing on the rooftop of an exceptionally large building in a large city, and while looking at the cityscape dyed in the morning sun, she opened her mouth as if she were talking to someone.

''........Iris, it's been a long time since then. Magic has been forgotten by the world and the times we lived in have become a fairy tale... and yet I still haven't been able to fulfill Iris' last wish. Love is such a hard thing to find........well, I'll take my time looking for it. It may take a while to get to the place where Iris is, but I'll bring a lot of stories to that effect.......wait for me.

 Alicia, the hero of hope who once saved the world from the Great Evil God, still travels the world every time she fulfills her best friend's last wish.
 As she traveled through the changing world, she spun many bonds and lost them... but still, she continued to look forward. Little by little, as if to escape the feeling of resignation that bubbles up in my heart....

Well, I've been in this town for about five years. It's time for me to change my base of operations.......now, where do we go next?

 While muttering in that manner, Alicia took out a card-shaped mobile device and activated it. Then a display appeared in the air and a world map was displayed.

''Come to think of it, I haven't been to Asia for a long time.










 On the deck of a luxury cruise ship that was sailing at sea, Alicia was relaxing and looking out to sea.

''It's a good omen that the first day of our multi-day boat trip is sunny. You can see the horizon very well and it's going to be a fun trip.

 Muttering to myself, I look at the sea, which glistens in the sunlight. Since the ship has already left several hours ago, you can't see land, and all you can see is the sea.
 After squinting comfortably at the sea breeze caressing her cheeks, Alicia, thinking about having a meal at one of the ship's restaurants, almost took her gaze off the sea... and on the way, she changed her gaze to a sharper one.

'Yeah? What is that...an island?

 Alicia's vision is in a different dimension from that of an ordinary person. Even at a distance that an ordinary person would not be able to see even with binoculars, she could see easily.
 What her eyesight captured was a small island in the distance........If that's all it is, it doesn't seem to be anything unusual.

''I wonder........what it is, I'm curious.''

 After years of traveling the world, her instincts had sensed Nanika from the island. She could have put it away as her imagination, but Alicia decided to trust her senses and took out her handheld device from her pocket and activated the map.

''.......That's strange. That island, it's not on the map. I don't care if it was a few hundred years ago, but an island that isn't on the most up-to-date maps of today's era... this smells interesting for the first time in a long time.''

 With a grin, Alicia pocketed her mobile device and then began to stretch out like a preparatory exercise.

'Ah~ It's a bit of a waste since it was a top-of-the-line passenger ship, but it sounds more interesting than that.......well, let's go then!

 Immediately after muttering that, Alicia jumped off the deck and into the sea. However, none of the other guests on deck noticed it........no, they couldn't notice it. Not only that, the records and memories of 'Alicia was on this ship', including the sailors, had already disappeared in an instant.








 
 

It's one of the largest islands I've ever seen. And it's amazing.... those cliffs, the machine guns, the laser guns... it's a bit of a fortress.

 The cliff is an estimated one hundred meters high, and at a glance it looks like an ordinary rock face. But when Alicia invested in the interior with her magic, she discovered that there are a tremendous number of heavy weapons inside.
 And that means that there are things on this island that need to be guarded very closely.

I have a feeling this is going to be a bigger deal than I thought. I'm excited for the first time in a long time.......it's not exactly a treasure, but it could be a secret military facility......I'm looking forward to it.

 While laughing at that, Alicia began to 'walk up the cliff'. It's not as if gravity doesn't exist, as if it doesn't exist, and we landed on the island without reacting to any of the sensors that were stretched out. Then the next thing that came into view was an iron wall.

The next thing we saw was a wall of steel, "...this is amazing again. Heat, sound, vibrations, and all sorts of sensors are all over the ground, and there are mines all over the ground... Even if we were to dodge them, an iron wall with no entrance now surrounds something. I see, they are only allowed to enter from the air.......well, it's not my problem!

 

''Well now, I wonder if the demons will come out or the snakes...hmm?''

 What I could see were two similar iron walls with the same kind of iron wall further inward, vacating the senses, and beyond that.......a small meadow that looks like a garden and a building that looks like a large box, standing in a pothole.
 

 As she flew through the sky, she explored her surroundings with her magic, but there was no biological reaction other than the girl on this island, and she found out that the girl was the only inhabitant of this island.
 While tilting her head at the development that was somehow different from what she expected, Alicia landed in front of the girl with a fluffy smile.

''It's so strict, I thought there was some treasure, but a girl alone... what is this situation?
'What's this situation, I'm talking about my line of dialogue... who are you that suddenly appeared from the sky? Angel?

 The girl listens back to Alicia, who speaks to her in a light tone of voice, with a scowling expression on her face. And this was the encounter that started it all.

I'm not an angel, but that part gets too long to talk about, so let me introduce myself first...I'm 'Alicia'. I'm a run-of-the-mill traveler and a bit of a strange monster.

 It has unwillingly led to the Transcendent. With a heroic girl who now uses the lost power........

It's a good idea to have a good time. If you want to call it like you do, I'm a caged bird from birth ... a naive creature.

 A girl who was born with a unique power that led her to become a god because she wanted to.................
