48-Chapter 47: Electronic Fairy



'Whoa! Slow golly.

Gorilla there were gorillas in this world too.

'Taro-san, is this sand beast called a gorilla? There are some strange creatures in the world you've been living in, Taro-san.

Yes. You're pretty robust, but...

This man looks a lot like Mr. George, who worked at the Water Village Tavern.

Frau, he's a human and this is a sand beast.

'Rude Gori! Gori is not a sand beast, but an electronic fairy 'Gori Macho' Gori who manages this mobile city 'Gori-san Town'.



 After opening the door and entering, the center of the mobile city was a space with mysterious pipes, wiring, and devices arranged in it.
 There wasn't even a hint of sand beasts or traps, and after walking a hundred meters or so, there was a cylindrical pedestal made of mysterious metal, on which a gorilla that looked like a three-dimensional image was floating.
 He? was the electronic fairy who managed this mobile fortress, Gori-san Town, and called herself "Gori Macho".
 The name of the mobile city and the fact that the gorilla is an electronic fairy.
 There are a lot of tweaks, such as the name of the gorilla himself, but it's better to hear the story first.

''Does this mobile city no longer work?''

'Gori, who has been struggling to maintain Gori's town so far, is now at the end of his energy. Gori, who somehow managed to reach his already dead comrades, has run out of energy here. In addition, Gori was attacked by a gremlin. But thanks to your help, Gori was able to avoid a complete shutdown. But it's only a matter of time before Gori.

'A matter of time? Are you out of energy?

Gori, you're a very quick learner.

 For a benefactor who saved me, you're an old man....
 It's true, but it makes me angry.

What's that energy running on? This mobile city.

A water-based, room-temperature, full fusion goliath.

I've never heard of it.

 Miu Miu tilted her head at Gollimatcho's answer.
 That's right, in this world where magic civilization is the mainstream, room temperature fusion is unfamiliar to me.

''Isn't it dangerous to emit radiation or something?''

It'll be fine. It's 'perfect' room-temperature fusion, so it doesn't emit any radiation. Gori produces enormous energy from a small amount of water. However, in the early days, Gori consumed a lot of water. There was an extreme shortage of water resources, and this led to the development of a new, energy-efficient room-temperature fusion reactor and a management system to efficiently use the energy generated, Gori and his team, the 'Electronic Fairy Series'.

I see.

 Now I understand why this world is all desert.
 Ancient civilizations were developed by room-temperature nuclear fusion using water.
 However, they used water as an energy source too much.
 As a result, the oceans became extremely small, and water was scarce throughout the world, resulting in the development of deserts.
 This is how ancient civilizations perished.
 And the water that was used too much has not returned to normal.

Be careful with water.

I don't need Gori to tell me that.

'So, do we just have to come to terms with the fact that you're going to be inactive soon and leave?'

I don't want to hear that, old man, please stop saying that and help me. If it continues like this, this mobile city will be dead before long. As a matter of fact, we don't have the energy to move anymore.

 So we're just arriving here and running out of steam.

"Gori, I'm going to turn this city into a bunch of old men. So, help me out, Gori.

Master Taro, it's a pity that Mr. Golimachou has been suspended like this.

 Frau is a sweet girl.
 I can't believe you feel sorry for a gorilla electronic fairy.
 And this guy is casually calling me an old man.

''Taro-san, if you can get a mobile city, you'll have a more comfortable life than a ship.

'Yes Gori. This mobile city is still mostly functional, Gori. Once the energy is restored, the autonomous maintenance mode will be restored, so it will be fully recovered.

I wouldn't mind taking the job, but is water all you need?

 Then it seems like this electronic fairy could manage to secure it on its own.
 I didn't know what it would take to revive this, since full room temperature fusion was the latest technology that hadn't even been developed on Earth yet, so I didn't know what it would take to revive it.

It's not so difficult to find out. We're running out of materials for the catalyst used in full room temperature fusion. We can get a little more water, but we need it in the backup tank.

 We're running out of catalyst materials, aren't we?
 What kind of materials were needed?
 I had no idea what kind of materials we needed, because I was an arts major at university.

We need platinum, palladium and sulfur.

Can I get one?

 I did a quick search on 'online shopping' and found that platinum was sold as an accessory.
 Sulfur is usually sold as well.
 There are also bath salts that contain it, so I didn't need a permit to buy them.
 You've got palladium in palladium-plated products and special activated charcoal.

Is this what you want?

Once the atoms are there, Gori can take them out and fix the worn-out catalyst.

Here you go.

 I bought the item the electronic fairy wanted from 'online shopping' and gave it to her.

''Now we can avoid suspension, Gori. Thanks Gori. Ossan.

....

 This electronic fairy, still calling me an old man, doesn't seem to have any malicious intent.
 He's really an old man, so I don't blame him, or rather, I don't think he should be so angry........

'I want you to refill your water too, Gori.

 There is a water tank located a short distance from the Electronic Fairy, and when I looked at the contents, I found that it contained very little water.

'Most of the functions were shut down, so it's possible to repair and operate for a while, but it's true that the amount of water is unacceptable.

 Water was easy to get, so we bought a lot of bottled mineral water and refilled the tank one after another.
 After a few hundred liters or so, the tank was full.

'How long can you run it on this?

You'll be fine for ten years.

You're so efficient.

In the old devices, these tanks could only last a few days. In the name of the dream of a clean energy system that doesn't emit radiation and doesn't pollute the air, perfect room temperature fusion has resulted in the ingestion of so much seawater that desertification is inevitable.

 So, after that, a new, more efficient full room temperature fusion reactor was developed in a hurry?
 The people who developed it were destroyed, but........

Most of the energy generated was wasted, but Gori and the other electronic fairies and the latest rechargers have greatly reduced the amount of water used. Gori and the rest of the crew, return to the ship once it's outside. From now on, we're going to restore this mobile city to its full potential before dawn. As long as we have the catalyst materials and water, we can keep this mobile city running almost forever.

That's good to hear.

 Will this mobile city be completely back to normal tomorrow?
 It is likely that they have decided to let us leave once they have decided to do so, otherwise it will interfere with the recovery process.

''I thought they were just going to let the materials out and run away?''

 Miu Miu looked at the Electronic Fairy with suspicion.
 From her point of view, I guess she doesn't trust the electronic fairy who calls me an old man.
 ''Yeah, I'm sure she does.

''Gori, suspected Gori?''

Mew, that's not happening.

What makes you think that, Mr. Tullow?

Electronic fairies aren't human...

 The Electronic Fairy is like an artificial creature created to maintain a mobile city.
 He has no greed like a human, only the mission to maintain the mobile city.
 If he betrays us here and runs away, he will only be driven to the point of shutting down again.

We could be attacked by gremlins again. Without us, the door to this room may one day be breached. If the gremlins destroy this room, this mobile city will be finished.

I see. Would it be more inconvenient for you to run away?

 Mew seemed to agree with my explanation.

'One more thing, Gori wants the old man to be the master of this city. Aside from water, the gori who can get the raw materials for the catalyst are the ones who deserve to be the master of the mobile city. In many other living mobile cities, people with long ears who can prepare catalyst materials have become the new masters of the city.

'I assume you mean the desert elves. I've heard they are dexterous and skilled. So even if we can't rebuild the mobile city, we can maintain it.

 Larabell is right, and the desert elves would have knowledge of the catalyst materials needed for full room temperature fusion and how to obtain them.
 On the contrary, humans have no way to obtain it, which is why there is supposedly no master of the mobile city.

Gori is just the manager of this mobile city. We need a master for the humans and similar intelligent beings that live here.

Is that what I am?

Gori, we have the material for the catalyst. Without a catalyst, water will not become energy, Gori. Without energy, the mobile city will die.

All right. I will be the master of this mobile city.

That's how Gori's Town feels.

'You don't intend to change that name, do you? It's Taro-sama's mobile city and yet...

That's non-negotiable, Gori.

 From Frau, 'What's the name of that town? 'Why don't you change your name to one that uses the owner's name and not the administrator's?' In response to the point that "I can't give up that much," the Electronic Fairy declares that she can't give up that much.
 The electronic fairy is obsessed with strange things, but compared to the advantage of getting a mobile city, I think that's a good thing.

''Then it's tomorrow. Are you going to move an automatic repair robot?

'Old man, not from this world, Gori? Gori knows a lot about the technology of ancient civilizations. Aside from those with long ears in this world, there is no gori who are first in line to be human.

That's right. I was summoned to this world from another world.

 I briefly explained to the electronic elf how I came to be here.

'So you understand the metals used in the catalyst, Gori.

 Myu knew about platinum and sulfur, but as expected, he didn't know about palladium.
 He said that dozens of other rare metals and rare earths are needed to make the catalyst, but the amount used is small, and these can be recovered from the desert sand, so it's not a problem.

As long as we can provide a stable supply of energy, the mobile city will continue to be repaired with the nanomachines produced in the nanomachines workshop in the back here.

It's science fiction...

Gori's town has been uninhabited for 8,600 years and 178 days, and she has been wandering the desert in energy-saving mode. This time, however, the town has been uninhabited for eighteen hundred and seventy-eight days and has been in energy-saving mode and lost in the desert.

Okay.

Mister Taro, do you understand?

"Mostly. In my world, this mobile city is powered by advanced technology that is still in the research stage and still taking a long time to be put to use. I don't know what I'm talking about, so I'll just have to leave it to the goldmas.

I don't need to leave the mobile city after a night's rest, just minor repairs and maintenance.

So, shall we get out of here?

 We left the repair of the mobile city to the electronic fairy gorimachos and returned to the ship that had been docked in the mobile city once it was docked.
 And the next day.



''Taro-sama, this mobile city is beautiful,''

'It's more beautiful and luxurious than the higher nobility of the royal city.

'Yes. That electronic elf really did fix it in one night.



 We landed in the mobile city again, and although it was uninhabited, it was a beautiful and sophisticated city.
 It's not like there were any new structures added in just one day, but the broken parts of the city had been repaired beautifully and the streets looked like they were freshly built.
 Heading behind that big door in the center of the mobile city, a gorilla electronic fairy was waiting there, just like yesterday.

''Since you guys are the mayors of Gori Town, you should live in the mansion in the center of the city, Gori.

The house. It's an ornate house.

He's the master of the city, of course he is.

Thanks for the help.

 In the end, I ended up fixing my call on Ossan, but he seems to acknowledge that I am the master of this mobile city.
 Is Ossan a respectful way to call me, in this electronic fairy way?

Provide a regular supply of raw materials for the catalyst. Supply water. It doesn't matter if the water is dirty. Gori will filter it anyway. As long as you do that, Gori will maintain this mobile city.

Okay.

And I want a treat for Gori.

As a reward?

Let me guess: Gori.

 Gorilla's Reward.........
 I opened up 'online shopping' and instantly searched for bananas.
 Speaking of gorillas, bananas are the word for gorillas.
 I apologize for being very short-sighted, but I figured that even if it wasn't a hit, it wasn't far off.

'This?'

Correct. I want gori!

 Electronic fairies are food eaters, aren't they?
 When I gave her the organic, pesticide-free, non-fumigated, organic, high quality bananas I had purchased, the Electronic Fairy ate the bananas as if she was devouring them.

'Delicious goli! Very well, Gori!

Mr. Tallow, you're very clear on this.

There are gorillas in the world I was in, and they seem to love bananas.

 There's some doubt whether it's really a big favorite, but since the electronic fairy is happy to eat it, it's not a problem.
 Eating things despite being an electronic fairy........shouldn't think too much about it?

''This is a very delicious banana gori. It's a high class gori.

 It's a really expensive banana.
 They're really expensive.

"I want five kilos of bananas every day.

'You're an electronic elf? Do you need that much food?

Gori's supply of organic compounds, including carbon, the materials for the nanomachines that constantly maintain and repair the mobile city and Gori's main body, the organic supercomputer. Gori didn't need so much while it was dormant, but from now on, we'll need a fixed amount. But from now on, we need a certain amount of stock just in case.

 Is this mobile city being maintained not by any kind of robot, but by nanomachine repairs?
 The material for it, bananas........bananas?

Gori, which is good as long as it has carbon in it, has a taste for gori, and bananas are the best gori.

 Because it's a gorilla electronic fairy, did the producers dare to go bananas?
 Well, at least a banana would be nice.

All right.

'Now, in a week's time, Gori Town can sail through the desert, Gori. Gori will be busy.

 Will we now be moving in a mobile city?
 From small ships to mid-sized ships.
 And a giant mobile city.
 You're like a gorgeous straw man.
