2983 - - 79-10 Minor Repair

A battle golem carrying Yumie and Vera.

As it nears the fortress of Lutgra, dawn breaks.

Yumi, it's Gigarth!

Yes, Vera. Gigarth Kaiju, to be exact.

You've been very quiet.

I've never activated it before, but it's been improved.

Both Yumie and Vera were aware of the flaws in the <>, and had confirmed that the two in front of them were not one of them.

Do you think this was stolen from our facility?

I'm afraid so, yes.

You're really starting to piss me off, Yummy.

Patience, Vera.

Even as they talked, their built-in manacam was not intercepted, and the battle golem continued down the passage leading to the basement of Fortress Lutgra.

It's good, isn't it, Vera?

It's good, isn't it, Yummy?

The battle golem carrying the two bodies entered the room containing the magical brain.

The two bodies lie on the floor there.

I didn't expect to be carried into a room with a magic brain all of a sudden, Yummy.

But this is a great opportunity, Vera.

It's a good thing we didn't see it coming.

The two of them, as per their plan, stop moving and look around.

I wonder if they'll notice we're not broken, Yummy.

The magic brains here are too clumsy to notice that, Vera.

<

I think they know, Yummy.

Well, so much for the charade, Vera.

And then they got up.

"What do you expect us to do now that you've kidnapped us?"

"Don't tell me you don't know that we generally don't provide support outside of our own facility."

"Are you not going to answer our questions?"

"When you say 'miscalculation', are you referring to the fact that it wasn't broken?　Or is it something else?"

But the magic brain is still the same, speaking his own lines.

<

"On what basis did you make that judgment?"

"Is there any possibility that your judgment is wrong?"

And yet <> still doesn't give a proper response.

...... is not a good idea, Yummy.

I agree, Vera.

Yummy, maybe this mage-brain's auditory sensors are broken?

I have a feeling Vera's imagination is right.

I think we need to fix the auditory sensor for now, Yumi.

Yes, Vera. Otherwise, they won't be able to communicate.

So Yummy and Vera searched for the auditory sensor in the mage brain to at least communicate with each other.

But it was not so easy to find.

So Yumie and Vera decided to write letters on the floor to appeal to the audience.

>?　...... Well, all my hearing sensors are out of order>>

The magic brain, realizing this once again, realizes that the two bodies in front of him are trying to fix it.

Because we can't communicate with them as it is. It is logical.

Since my voice seems to be reaching them, I decide to give them an audio explanation.

Did you hear that, Yummy?

Did you hear that, Vera?

...... There it is. But you can't reach it, Yummy.

You could use the force field generator to float, but I think we'd better avoid that, don't you, Vera?

Then I'll have to carry you on my shoulders, Yummy.

I don't think I can reach him, Vera.

Then let's ask the wizard brain again, Yummy.

Yeah, sure, Vera.

So the two of them wrote again on the floor to explain.

Saying this, the magic brain made the two battle golems stand side by side right under the auditory sensor.

I can reach them, Vera!

I'll fix it, Yummy.

So Vera used the battle golem as a springboard to remove the auditory sensors embedded in the ceiling.

Checking the removed aural sensors, she found that they were in good shape, if a bit deteriorated.

"It seems that the wire is broken," he explained to ......, "but you didn't hear it."

So Vera puts the hearing sensor back on the ceiling as it was before. Of course, the wires were properly connected.

After finishing her work, Vera gets down on the floor and checks it.

"...... magic brain, can you hear me?　My name is Vera.

This time, the brain responded.

<>

"I am Yumie. What is your name?"

<

Vera hears this and makes a proposal.

"Then I will call you . How about it?"

>. Very well, Vera. In return for fixing my hearing sensors.

"It'll make it easier for me to talk to you, <>."

Vera: "It's easier to talk now,<>.

Jin and the old man were stunned to see this.

"I guess you didn't have your hearing sensor repaired. ...... It seems you're even clunkier than I thought."

"That would be a design error. ......"

<

"I guess so. ......"

Jin and the old man are observing with interest what such a clunky magic brain demands of Yumie and Vera.

<

What is the state of emergency?

Please explain.

What do you have to back this up?

"What was your basis for your judgment?"

< and were able to determine with a probability of over 99% that one of the women was a . And the group that visited the fort seemed to have been brainwashed by this demoness>>.

"......"

The explanation of the magic brain is not over yet: .......
