Mr. Gori.

Master Mew, what is it, Goliath?

　This guy calls me by my old man's name, but he calls Mew by his nickname....
　He's quite the ladies' man, isn't he?

I can't bear to leave behind the ship we've been on.

Then we can put the gori in the harbor next to this mobile city's dock. A crane will lift it up and store it in the hangar.

　It's just like a mobile city to have a port.
　We'll have the ship accommodated later.

Shall we check out the mansion where we live?

That's good Gori. Gori is busy getting ready to go.

　Since Golimachou was busy preparing for the reopening of the mobile city, we decided to go see the mansion where we were going to live.
　The mansion was located in the center of the mobile city, at the highest point, and was built like a small castle.

''It's like being the master of a castle in one country.

'On the contrary, Taro-dono would be the head of this mobile city. Gori-san Town ... well ... its name is ... well ...

That's a subtle name, isn't it?

　It's subtle, but I think it's better to at least compromise on the name, since changing the name in a strange way would put Gori Macho in a bad mood.

''Gori-san might have a deep attachment to that name, you know.

　Frau, I'm not so sure about that.
　Goliaths are like machines, or even AI-like beings.
　They may just be set up in such a way that they can't change the name of a town.
　The ancients have a subtle sense of naming.

'I guess we'll have to move first.

Yes.

　I walked into the mansion as soon as I could and there wasn't a speck of dust on it, as if it had been cleaned.
　Is it the work of a nanomachine?

Mister Taro, you have a lot of room.

　I think there's probably more than twenty rooms.
　That'll give everyone a private room.

Mr. Taro, do you need help getting the ship unpacked?

It was. The boat had to be fished out with a crane, too.

　We hurried back to the ship we had docked in the mobile city and headed to the port, which was already up and running.
　When we stopped the ship there, a crane was set up in the harbor and lifted the ship and housed it in a covered hangar.

'Taro-dono, if we're going to live in this mobile city, we may not need this ship anymore.

I can use it to get around for a bit, so I don't think it would be a problem to have it.

Can't we get any closer to the oasis in that mobile city?

I guess that's part of it.　

　From the contained ship, the household items that had been obtained and used so far were brought out of the ship and brought into their assigned rooms.

　Isn't that a power outlet?　Does it work with electrical appliances?

　Come to think of it, this mobile city should be getting energy from complete room temperature nuclear fusion.
　Is it possible that a large amount of energy generated is used to generate electricity?
　It's amazing that there is an electrical outlet and its shape is exactly the same as in Japan.

But the size of the outlets may be slightly different, and I'll have to check the voltage first to see if the computer is dead.

　Just as I was about to ask Gori Macho later, Frau popped into my room.

'Taro-sama, Gori-san has an errand to run.

What's going on?

　When I left my room and went to the living room of the mansion, I saw a gorilla macho floating on a large table.
　Since he's an administrator, so he can appear freely within the mobile capital.

''What's wrong?''

"I want you to kill the 'Skullworm', Gori.

Skullworm?

It's a sand beast. It's a big worm.

　Instead of the goldmaster, Mew explained to me about the skullworm.
　Apparently they're sand beasts together, but I've never seen them before.

'They're essentially sand beasts that go out where there's soil, not in the desert. They can destroy fields, so they're treated as vermin.

　I see.
　I thought that earthworms are useful insects because they make the soil, but the earthworms in this world are treated as vermin.
　On the contrary, the earthworm might be taken away with its nutrition.
　Maybe they're too big because they're sand beasts.

''They're in this mobile city?''

　Then we need to get rid of it.

That's Gori in the abandoned mobile city next door.

What?

　So you don't have to get rid of them?
　Once we leave here, we won't be able to invade this mobile city.

''Is the Skullworm targeting this mobile city?''

That's not true, Gori.

So why?

"Gori to merge with the abandoned mobile city.

Is that necessary?

　Can mobile cities merge with each other in the first place?
　Do you have a linkage device like that?

"Gori wants it that way.

Did you?

　An electronic fairy golimatcho, without consulting the town's mayor, plans to connect the two mobile cities without consulting the mayor, and asks him to exterminate a sand beast there?
　No matter how much I may be the administrator, I don't want them to do that to me without permission.
　If this is not done well, our lives are at stake.

You are beyond selfish!　It's a breach of contract!

　Did you think I wouldn't get mad at you for doing that to me?
　No matter how good the administrator is, if he plans to merge with the abandoned mobile city without permission, and by some mistake he is attacked by a pack of sand beasts while he is asleep, he will be lost for good.
　No matter how good the facilities in the mobile city are, they can't live in peace.

''Larabell, Mew, Frau. Let's get out of here.

You're going to leave?　Master Taro.

'How selfish of the administrators!　Because if this thing is gassing us in our sleep, we're dead.

　Living in a mobile city managed by an untrustworthy administrator is like living on a land mine.
　Then I'd rather live on a ship.

'Such a golly,'

'I'm told this mobile city will take a week to get going. That should be how long it takes for this mobile city to restart on its own. None of us were told that they would move the abandoned mobile city next door, because none of us were told that they would move the abandoned mobile city next door. We've been lied to, and we can't stay here anymore.

It's convenient to be in this mobile city.

'We'd rather live on our own, even if it's inconvenient, than in a place managed by someone we don't believe in.

　We've resupplied them.
　They can move without us, and now we just need to find another mayor or administrator.

'Lalabelle disagrees with me?'

''No, they tried to absorb the abandoned mobile city next door on their own, and they want us to defeat them because of the sand beasts. I don't trust them.

'Yes, that's true. It would have been different if we had been consulted beforehand. After this, they have a plan of their own and it could cost us our lives.

That's it. That's it.

　We have decided to pull out of this mobile city.

Waiting Gori.

Find someone else.

　We will be inconvenienced if the king of the Kingdom of Bart makes his presence known.
　We don't need to take any more risks.

''You'll have the desert elves pick it up, though.

It has to be an old man, Gori!

You may be in trouble, but we are not.

Not that kind of gory...

　No matter how much you get depressed, there's no point in regretting it.
　You can do this whole Ruins Moving City absorption thing on your own.

''Uh, Gori-san.

What Gori?　Frau-chan.

'Why would you try to absorb a ruined mobile city?　It's just garbage that doesn't work now.

　It's true that a mobile city that doesn't move anymore is, in a bad way, a ruin, or at best, an ancient ruin.
　I don't think they have that much value.

''........Even though there is a difference between the old and the new, the mobile cities are still the same electronic fairies and moving companions. Even that abandoned mobile city used to have electronic fairies just like Gori. Gori, which has now disappeared.... In order to avenge the regret of our compatriots, even if it's impossible to revive the Electronic Fairy, Gori can take the mobile city with her if they combine. So.........

　It would have already disappeared.
　Do you understand the regret of the electronic fairies in the ruined mobile city, or at least the mobile city?
　An artificially created electronic fairy?

"I apologize for doing something so selfish, Gori. I beg you, I want you to exterminate the Skull Worm that is nestled in that abandoned mobile city.

　As he said this, Gorimachu got down on his knees to us.

'Master Taro, I feel sorry for you.'

You're an electronic elf and you have feelings?

'I don't know if it's an emotion, Gori. But regardless of when the electronic fairies were made, model number or performance, they share the same idea, Gori. It's a shame for the electronic fairies that they can't manage the mobile city and leave it in ruins.

　I don't know if that electronic fairy's idea is influenced by programming, but at least it's a factor in trying to merge without informing us in advance?

''In the future, I will not allow you to act on your own again.

Okay, Gori, from now on, I'll report back and merge with you.

''No ... is it okay to make a mobile city that huge in such a disorderly fashion?''

　Mainly due to the issue of the capacity of the electronic fairies who are administrators.
　I have a feeling that the fact that one electronic fairy is placed in one mobile city proves that it's difficult for one person to manage multiple mobile cities.

'It's okay Gori. Gori is the last electronic fairy created and the most powerful type of gori. It's an electronic fairy that was created at a time when the collapse of the ancient civilization was inevitable in the not-too-distant future, so Gori can manage hundreds of mobile cities all by herself.''

　So, can we see that we have hit the jackpot?
　He looks like a gorilla but.........

''Well, we can check on that later. Let's go get rid of the Skull Worm in the abandoned mobile city as soon as possible.

'Yes, Master Taro. This is your chance to expand your territory.

　Territorial expansion, huh........
　That's the kind of thing that makes Lalabelle seem like royalty too.......
　If you ask me, it would be an expansion of the sphere of survival?

You can get divine coins, but their corpses are just fertilizer.

　They don't make the soil better, they just deprive it of nutrients, and they have no use for the corpse except to fertilize it too?
　It's a nasty worm, isn't it?

''Taro-sama, then we'll have to take the ship out again.

Yeah.

　If the mobile cities are attached to each other, the skull worms might move over to this one.
　There is no choice but to land at the abandoned mobile city by boat.

Then let's hurry up. How many days will it take to get there?

　We unloaded the ship once it was stowed in the hangar and headed for the mobile city, which stopped just beside us.
