Chapter 73: Number 2966, rather...
One talisman is cut off from the quality paper received from Shadow-san. It's because I fall behind and it's troublesome variously when I fail here, therefore I also pay regard to the size of the talisman fairly. Because a large amount is cut, I have already got used to this work completely.
“Bururuu!”
“Please wait a little more! Please don't prepare an attack, I attract the opponent's attention, so devote yourself to the defense!" Tsuchio
Rin′s magic, which she kept practicing for a long time is dicey. Because Lime can absorb the poison fog, she attacked so boldly.... The snake's mouth is only grazed and Lime′s body is shaved quickly. Hardening the skin as usual, it's parried...but Lime who can absorb the poison fog hardly thinks and considers about the defense. She still seems fine for now, but she′ll be worn-out sooner or later. It's dangerous just as it is.
Ruu fights bravely against the lion, however her physical strength seems to deprive her breath and it is painful. And because her magic has decreased very much, too, it is impossible to fight any longer.
The brush is soaked into the ink and the pattern is drawn on the talisman. Even though it changes a little, most of the existing pattern were misappropriated. It doesn't fail even though the floor is made my desk and even if I say that it's changed, it's mostly the same. Only the attribute is different.
“Good, my talisman is complete. Shadow-san...come back” Tsuchio
Shadow-san who collected the mechanical insects that scattered in the passage returned to my origin. Did more than 12 enter her body...which means that the capacity increased fairly. It is likely to enter various things by now.
"Is the distinction of metal attach? Then, please take out something similar to the material of the mechanical insects and that as much as possible!" Tsuchio
Shadow-sam throw out the destroyed mechanical insects on the floor. There is no wound on their armor, but the function stopped.... From that explosion, wouldn't the metal also scatter around? Like a grenade or land mine. Next the mechanical insects that Shadow-san put out had their legs and eyes crushed and all small arms on the abdomen were removed. Seeing this cruel form, they were probably those who stand guard at the storage room, which we have seen.... After their eyes were crushed, their legs were snatched. Shadow-san has piled up a great amount of small arms like missiles or weapons on the floor at the end....These kind of things were where....
"Was this large quantity put in the room where we didnt go!?...Ah, there was certainly a room that hadnt been seen. Was it the depository? What is kept..." Tsuchio
If I go outside with the weapons piled up on the ground, will the military balance collapse....
“We, Well its okay, lets knock down the chimera first. Shadow-san, please go and help Rin. Her magic seem to run out soon. Ah, were there no arms of number 2966?" Tsuchio
Shadow-san points to three boxes, which are next to the weapon mountain. In the next moment, she slides down on the ground silently and a black ray was shot against the head of the goat that was facing Rin. It knocks against the goat's barrier and hit the body directly by going through the barrier. Apparently, the goat also has a hard time stopping Rin′s dash. The reason might be that it concentrated its magic on Rin, so that the barrier became thinner. It's regrettable that the one hit was the body, but the goat has to pay attention to two people now. Knocking down would be difficult, but it'll be okay until my business ends.
In that case, it contains the arms of number 2966. It should be checked later, however I'll make the legs of number 2966 first. The talk is after that.
I stuck a talisman on a mechanical insect and start. And as soon as the talisman begins to shine thinly, all remains and arms in the surrounding were attracted to the talisman. The remains of the mechanical insect are transformed and the armor plate and the bone union are extended straight. The firearms jump into it one after another during that. The metals unites and were completely transformed into a mechanical snake. The metallic version of the rock snake, a lacertid? It is different from the rock snake, because the scale appears clearly and also the body is slightly smaller. And because it doesn't stick to the ground, it seems to be able to move freely. Good, it went well. Now....
“Naa, how should I find you number 2966!?” Tsuchio
“One word, please declare that number 2966 is found. Furthermore, the responsibility of number 2966 belongs to the owner, so please be careful” Number 2966
“I understand! Find number 2966!” Tsuchio
After I declared so, a large amount of characters flow out on the display. I don't know what is done, but it'll be related to the person inside.
“Test type mechanical human number 2966 was found. Please input owner's name" Number 2966
In, Input? Is it all right with a voice input?
“I′m Tsuchio” Tsuchio
“Tsuchio is registered as the owner of number 2966, all responsibilities concerning number 2966 belong to owner Tsuchio. Only Tsuchio has the rights to use and command number 2966" Number 2966
With that dialog, several characters were displayed on the display. And although ancient languages can′t be read, I somehow understand what is written. 「Ready」.
The liquid in the capsule is drained and the water level gradually falls. The capsule opened, when the drain ends completely. Number 2966 didnt open her eyes, so I try to enter inside for now.
When I enter into the capsule, number 2966 descends slowly. She shakes flickeringly, so I wait at the bottom and can't help but to stretch my arms unsteadily according to her movement. I have to go to support her quickly....
I caught No.2966 somehow. Because there are no limbs, my hands were moved to her shoulder and hips to lift her. The cords which stuck to her back and stomach came off and we could go out of the capsule now. Nonetheless, a mechanical human doesnt look like a machine at all. Only her arm and legs are mechanical. Bones seems to be metal, but it isn't so heavy. Her shoulder and hips are soft!
It returns to the origin of the lacertid which I left. Well, just making though it is bad, it becomes the leg of number 2966!
No.2966 is made to sit on the ground. She doesn't get up at all...this fellow, is she broken? While I think so and saw her face while she still sits down, number 2966 opened her eyelids and I could see her golden eyes. Several times an electric current twinkles in her eyes.
“...Magic wavelength confirmation, Tsuchio as owner of number 2966 test type mechanical human confirmed. Good Morning, master” Number 2966
“Ah, yes. Good Morning, shall I call you number 2966?” Tsuchio
“Yes. I was developed as a general-purpose combat arms, test type mechanical human No.2966. It's possible to answer to all situations with the replacement of legs and arms. Before giving an order, please install the arms and legs" Number 2966
Oops, it has been rattled at a dash. So, shall I install the arm first? It was so in this case.
A considerably big metal case is carried net to number 2966. Maybe her legs should have been put on the point. Well, I still don't know what is inside and should I have checked it first?
Something has been inside the case and it is written, but unfortunately I cant read ancient language. Can number 2966 read it?
“Naa, number 2966...it's troublesome to call you so intentionally during a battle. It's so...good, your name is Nichrome from now on” Tsuchio
“Name...is it a individual alternate name? Understood, my individual name is registered as Nichrome" Nichrome
Because it's number 2966, isn't Nichrome fine, because of the alloy of nickel and chrome?
“"I can't read this character, so can you read what is written there?" Tsuchio
“"From the left, non battle human arm, short distance battle arm gauntlet and distance battle magic machine gun, master” Nichrome
Hmm...is close combat harsh with the chimera as opponent? For distance combat, let's make a magic machine gun.
The cases with the arms are gradually growing from the left and the case with the machine gun is more than 1m big and really heavy. If its Shadow-san, then weight is unrelated.... Something with such weight can be put in the body well....
When I open the case, there was a heavy machine gun as I imagined inside. I don't know which caliber it is, but I'm certain that it'll be quite big. A slender cylinder is attached to the square box. There was a projection appropriate for the part which is installed on the arm opposite to the cylinder. I tried to heave with a handle, but it's the feeling that is quite heavily with both hands. Is a thing like this put on her arm...? Moreover, because there are two it can be put on both arms.
“Master, please apply the non battle human arm first. I will apply the rest by myself" Nichrome
“Ah, okay..." Tsuchio
The noncombat arm seems to be able to be used in combat, too. In short, I apply the noncombat arm now which is a fact. Well, I′m not able to install the gauntlet or the machine gun.
The arm is put on Nichrome. It is installed on Nichrome closely and tightly, before she moves it to check it.
“...Both human arms are installed completely. It is all green. Master, please the magic machine gun. Because there are no legs, I will shoot at number 2107 from here” Nichrome
"No, legs are prepared" Tsuchio
“"The legs aren't found anywhere, is it hidden?" Nichrome
"No, this snake..." Tsuchio
Nichrome looks up at the lacertid which was next to me. She and it stare at each other for a while, the fellow was like a rock, could they communicate?
“...Judging the material, it is the same material as my framework. The core is checked in the interior of the body and it's estimated as independence type golem. A large amount of firearms in the inside, is this my foot?" Nichrome
“No, if it could be used as a foot, then Nichrome wouldn't said she will adjust her body by herself.... Because a mechanical insect was used, I think that the material is suitable. Oh, was it useless?" Tsuchio
Look, there is a lamia. A half human and half snake demon, though I thought it is a japanese lacertid, but it didn't become such a feeling.... I don't know, if this is useless, but it won't be a foot anymore. Then, shall I put her on Rin and run around? It'll be entirely better than make her sit down and shoot.
“No, it is all right now. The talisman used as a core will fused with my center, so would that be okay?" Nichrome
“Ye, Yes. It's no problem, please do it" Tsuchio
“Very well" Nichrome
Nichrome lays her head aside and bites the waist of the lacertid lightly, while applying the hand on the head. Both sides of her waist are eaten by that mouth and it feels like as if she is held by the lower and upper jaw of the snake. From Nichrome′s waist, codes come out from the machine part and the snake′s body is examined. After a while, codes withdrew and a change began to take place to the snake's head. Teeth and eyes disappear and both the top and bottom of the mouth extends to the side. And a change has occurred to Nichrome′s body and the skin bubbled and she was covered by the snake's mouth. Nichrome fused with the snake. At the point where the snake′s mouth has ripped, if you refer to Nichrome, it became her crotch and covered the metal completely. The snake's body is considerably big, isnt it roughly 2m big? It is considerably thick and cant be swallowed. When standing up, the height even exceed my height for a moment. In every aspect she is a lamia, so is she a mechanical lamia?
“The fusion and the nerve connections are completed...master, please give me the gauntlet and the magic machine gun” Nichrome
“Eh, how is the gauntlet worn though the gun is understood?" Tsuchio
“This snake's body can store various things, so I can put it away. More generalities improve by changing during a battle" Nichrome
A cut enters along the scale and the left skin of the snake slides to the bottom and opens. When the inside was seen, a black space spread like in Shadow-san′s body. I see...did she become like Shadow-san? For now, let's give her the gauntlet and gun. Nichrome received the magic machine gun first and removed her left arm to install the gun. And when she tried to put the removed arm and the gun away,
"Please don't put the gun away, it has already been installed on your right hand"
“Eh, but how is it installed?”
This time the snake right skin opened.A barrel is stuffed into there and it's stopped at a good height exactly and it was put on her arm before it was installed. Haa...there is also such a usage.
“But is it okay to put on both arms? Aim” Tsuchio
“There is no problem” Nichrome
A visor comes out of the sensor of her right ear and it connects with something on her left ear. Two circles appear and the aim might be applied by that.
“Number 2107 is more than three meter tall. Even if I miss my mark when it's that size, I hit somewhere"
“I see...that's remind me, when that guy is attacked he recovers quickly. Is there such a ability?"
That even such a big gun will knock down the chimera with an swift attack is indeed difficult. Because recovery is quite a strong ability, I think there are some compensations....
“Experiment number 2107 has a lion, goat and snake as body, so there is a core. If we don't crush it, it will keep reproducing by magic" Nichrome
“Main body...do you know where it is?” Tsuchio
“It isn't understood. If you destroy the core of the main body, then the other two bodies will self-destruct" Nichrome
Where is the core, should I ascertain it.... I think the research will make some sense where the location of the core is. It's there, let's combine our attacks and attack all together.
