3-I want to check the castle




 In the meantime, I can operate the touch display in front of me and see what's going on.

 With that thought in mind, I touched the letters I was interested in first.

"Sky camera.........yeah, it's all sky. Oh, the outer south of the castle?

 When I pressed it, I saw that garden split up into a huge screen that showed that garden.

 Each part of the garden is shown from various angles, and you can see things you couldn't see just from above.

'An orchard, a field... ah, the buildings in places, it looks like a house.

 The square building next to the fields and orchards, with a door about the size of a person, looked like a small dwelling.

 There seemed to be a stream running between the other stair-stepped steps, and what looked like a thin railroad track, though it was not noticeable.

 As I looked at the garden for a while, there was movement in the previously quiet garden.

 The door of that small dwelling was opened.

 Then a robot with thin limbs appeared from the other side of the door. The slender, uneven robots walked slowly through the garden and began to water the orchards and fields by pulling round pipes into the stream.

 Since they don't seem to have anything in their hands, they probably have a pump inside their bodies, and the water they sucked in from the end of that hose is released in a shower from the end of their hands.

'Maybe it even harvests the water for us.

 As I say this, I watch the robot watering down for a while, then look down at the screen.

 The menu on the camera outside the castle also has East-West and North. If the south is the garden, then the east and west would be those white dwellings.

 Then what is north?

 When I pressed the letters, a different view appeared on the screen.

 It was blue. For a moment I thought it was the ocean, but it seemed to be different.

 Nearly half of the split screen was all blue, but the rest of the screen was white with white floors, houses and walls.

'Is it a swimming pool or a hot spring?'

 I need to see it in person, but it seems to be like an outdoor pool. There seems to be quite a few buildings, but the pool seems to be quite large.

I can swim in the sky, too. It's just perfect.

 He said that while looking at the screen and then operated the touch display again.

 There are a lot of items on the camera alone. As I was thinking of looking at the second and third floors as well, I suddenly heard a series of high-pitched, electronic-like sounds.

 It's like an alarm clock.

 As I was looking around with that thought, I noticed that the screens on all sides were dyed black. Something was written in white letters in the middle of the black screen.

Identified, threat recognized?

 You think there's something else going on in this castle?

"...what? That's not good.

 I muttered to myself and hurriedly looked at the touch display. I wanted to see what the approaching object looked like, but there were different letters dancing on the screen than before.

'Defense Operation Select?'

 The screen shows the camera items and equipment operations.

 The camera section already shows two cameras, one for the west and one for the south of the island.

'No way, from both?'

 I anxiously pressed the letters west of the island.

 Then I saw the sky and the sea cut off by a horizon line on the screen. To the far left of it, I saw a small dot. Something green seemed to be spreading its wings and coming towards us.

 I could make out its large wings, but the shape of its body was unclear. But it's not a bird, that's for sure.

I want to enlarge it. I want to enlarge it.

 I mumbled and hurriedly searched for the one I wanted from the words dancing on the screen.

 And on the right side of the camera item was detailed identification. I didn't hesitate to push it.

 Then the image on the screen was divided into three parts in the middle and left and right, and the leftmost part was the farsighted screen I had just seen. The middle one became an enlarged screen. The right side was black and empty.

''........Oh!

 And I couldn't help but marvel at the image on the screen in the middle.

 It spread out its huge wings and had a mouth with a wide gaping mouth and narrow eyes. Its mouth was lined with tusks of various sizes, and its head was also covered in long horns.

 The figure, which slightly resembles a dinosaur, reminded me of the existence of the common term "dragon".

'Seriously, it's a dragon! No, no, no, no, no, this is not good.

 As I was saying this, white letters appeared in the black area on the right side of the screen.

''........Emerald Dragon, estimated to be eighty years old. Male. Fifteen meters in length. Wing span over forty meters. Weight about 50 tons. Danger rating A.

 A great dragon. Really, a dragon. I don't even know what the "danger level A" is. Why are there dozens of tons of creatures flying on wings?

 Complaints flood in like hot water, but I quickly regain my composure and return my gaze to the screen.

 I press the item called Defense and a list of equipment appears.

''Oh, something called automatic defensive warding is on! Then there's no need to rush, right?

 I was a little relieved, but I also checked the interceptor to get rid of it, just in case.

 I find a few items that I'm interested in.

'Blitz? Good, let's try this.

 He mouthed that and pressed the letters, then looked up and looked at the screen.

 The dragon on the far left side of the screen is already quite large.

 And the next moment, a blinding white light flooded the screen.

''Ugh.''

 I covered my face with my arms to protect my vision from the light. When the flickering light that illuminated the surroundings ended, I looked up in horror to see the figure of a dragon that had stopped moving in the screen.

 The dragon stopped in mid-air, looking like it had its back to me, but eventually it leaned back with a glare, emitting white smoke from its entire body.

 I watch the dragon slowly falling into the sea in a daze.

''Well it's not entirely lightning.''

 I muttered a small word, and a new white text streamed across the black area on the far right side of the screen.

'Confirmed elimination of target........Emerald Dragon material recovered?'

 I let out a dry chuckle at the after-action report that was displayed so matter-of-factly.

 I've got a bad castle.
