Episode 150

When I returned to Summer Turge, there was a lot of uproar.

It’s time to get used to it, but it’s because it wasn’t easy to adapt to the gigantic size of the sky centipede.

First of all, since it couldn’t be kept indoors, it had to be put out on the campus, and it was put in a wide empty lot in front of the Agricultural Research Building, which was not difficult to see even though there was little traffic.

It’s the size of a basketball court, so it’s a pretty scary size.

“Are you really alive?”

“Because it is. My legs keep wriggling, uh… … .”

“It looks round and wide, but it looks like a centipede.”

“But he said he could fly? How can that big thing fly around?”

“It must be because it is a monster.”

Early moning.

Most of the conversations on campus were also related to this.

First of all, since I was curious, going to see it at least once spread like a trend, so the sky centipede was enough to be a spectacle for a while.

Of course, this wasn’t just a story confined to Somerset.

“Of course, the embassies of each country have sent requests for information sharing.”

After returning from the imperial family, I immediately went to check the condition of the centipede.

Derek was staying at Summer Turge to ensure safety since he had a living monster.

If you are within the empire, you can quickly transmit news through the transmission tower. It looks like it’s already been bitten.

“If you think about the catching process, it wasn’t much, but do you think it’s right that there are no requirements this time around?”

“Yes. If it’s not magic, but monsters, the empire isn’t particularly good at it, so wouldn’t it be appropriate to conduct joint research?”

“To agree. I don’t even want to bother you.”

You wouldn’t have thought you’d catch someone who just ran away from afar. All rights reserved by Derek.

It’s something you have to do on your own, but I was grateful that you asked me for my opinion first.

I asked as I looked at the sky centipede lying flat on its stomach with its whole body tied up nearby.

“Is there any movement?”

“I mean, it’s still quiet. But at most, I captured him alive, so I wonder if he will starve to death.”

“For now, wouldn’t it be better to catch the animals? Unless there’s a big difference from a high-ranking monster.”

“Doesn’t he have to pay dozens of big horses to fill his stomach?”

“Then don’t give it to me. A corpse alone would be of sufficient value.”

In the first place, the purpose of capturing the sky centipede was not for research.

It’s a kind of warning sign that says, “There are guys like this, so everyone be alert and prepare.”

Rather, hearing Derek’s words made me wonder.

Sky centipedes and megalithic soldiers. Among the top-notch monsters, there are quite a few of them that are as big as a decent building.

So what and how much do these guys have to eat to stay alive? Can I not eat at all?

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t set it up.

It is a colony-type mother of flying monsters, and we only know that it gives birth to flying monsters. If left alone, it will soon be known as it will lay an egg.

An egg is just an egg, and a monster will be born soon after breaking the egg.

It’s not a metaphor, just after birth, it’s really no different from a flying insect, so it’s not even dangerous.

“Rather than that, Mage-san, would you mind staying here?”

“Well, since the Liden side is finished. I can afford it right now. Personally, I want to see him more.”

“Then I’m relieved.”

If Derek, the court wizard, stays, students and those who will be dispatched from each country for research can safely concentrate on their work.

“Then I will believe you.”

“By the way, you bastard, why do you keep looking around? Do you have anything to worry about?”

Derek asked with sharply raised eyes.

He was only rolling his eyes, but he seemed to have noticed that. It’s not like I wasted my age either.

I replied with a smile.

“Ah, in case you think Mage Derek and I are close.”

“Huh, does that matter? Do you want to harm you?”

“Please. On the contrary, I wanted to be a nuisance to Mage.”

“What are you talking about… … tell me so i can understand This old head is not as fast as your genius.”

Derek complained, but it’ll come out anyway. Even if I say it now with my own mouth, it will only make the story longer.

“Nothing. Even if you don’t return to the imperial family, news will come sooner or later. You say you just chatted briefly about lasers.”

“Hmm, as it turns out, I did something big. right?”

“You feel good.”

“OK. It’s none of my business anyway, so there’s nothing to worry about. Go see your assistant.”

“Your sister?”

“I was looking for you yesterday.”

I headed straight to the studio.

Even after he came back, he seemed busy with the transmission tower work, so he didn’t show his face often. I didn’t know that Neil’s side would find me first.

“A camera?”

“yes. You’ve seen the pictures I sent you before, so you know, but they were all taken from a distance, weren’t they?”

“It was.”

“The first thing I made was that the foreground was all blurry, but that problem has been fixed.”

Nael stretched out his arm, holding onto the square device with the crystal ball embedded in it.

I felt very close to it, it was completely selfie-taking.

“Now, even if you shoot like this, from this distance, it will come out well.”

“Then take a picture as it is. I will carry it.”

“What? I can’t be embarrassed If you’re going to take a picture, take the kids and take a picture together.”

“That is fine too.”

I wanted to carry one with me as a family photo-I don’t really need a photo of Coltman.

I think it would be okay to gather with members and take a commemorative photo.

“Shall we go right now? It looks like all the kids are gathered.”

“Maybe.”

The barrier must be activated from around noon, so by now all the members should be gathered in the club room.

Frid, who was running on the field, was also brought along and entered the room with Nael, and everyone looked the same as usual.

“You’re late today, Rocks.”

“I came to see the monster for a while.”

“Ah, I was looking at it for about an hour when I caught it yesterday. It wasn’t much fun to stay still.”

Hira who gets up from her seat as soon as she enters the room, Ramyu who is still lively, Baeller and Jerome who are quietly reading a book, Ainim… … are sleeping

I clapped my hands to get attention.

“Sleep, pay attention. I’m going to take a picture of us today.”

“You mean the picture?”

“Us?”

“We may be far apart someday, but for the purpose of keeping the pleasant moments gathered like this as memories. I’m not asking you to do anything, just stay the way you are.”

As for the photos, I showed them before, so the members know about them.

At the time, it was said that it would be much more convenient than a video recorder to leave a scene that needs preservation, such as a crime scene.

When I said that it simply contains a human figure, a curious reaction came out.

“I will take a picture for you. Go sit down.”

“Then, let’s take a picture with your sister later.”

“Here, boss.”

“yes?”

Then Jerome carefully raised his hand.

“That, will you stay? It is a photograph.”

“It’s a kind of record that will last.”

“I want to fall for a bit then… … .”

“Are you that burdened? I didn’t know there were people who didn’t want to be filmed.”

“That’s because they’re not all normal people.”

Certainly, the current members of the Technical Department are three ordinary commoners, and the rest are royalty or great aristocrats. There is no middle ground.

Frid is a bit insensitive about this, and Lamyu is like, “What do you know?”

Surprisingly, Jerome, who was the closest to a normal person, would have been embarrassed to be involved here.

“If you need someone to take a picture, I will.”

“Then you can take a picture right away, too.”

Respecting Jerome’s intention, I tried to find a suitable position for the photo. Something should come out of the picture.

“Hira, wake up Your Highness. Seniors can just stay where they are. Freed. You are a bit vague.”

“… … Even if you say that you look like this from birth.”

“No, it doesn’t happen. It just feels awkward when you’re standing there. Oh, hold on to that one.”

“You mean dumbbells?”

“And in front of the window… … .”

It’s hard for the big Frid to stand awkwardly, so I gave him the dumbbells he uses when exercising. That’s when I get a little bit of a feeling.

“Do you think we should take a picture like this? My sister is standing behind me.”

It seems that the composition has been roughly set, so the rest is just for Jerome to match and press the button.

I went to my seat and sat down. Should I take a picture to make it look like something is there? Even if you have a chin, you should be able to do it.

“Okay, pictures… … ?”

“Yeah, I’m going to take a picture right now.”

“It would have been better to finish quickly. It’s barrier operation time soon.”

“I think I come out a little small for this! Shall we take a close-up? Would that be better?”

“Then take it.”

click.

The picture came out with sound at an earlier time than expected. It was like a Polaroid camera.

“where.”

“Lamu, didn’t you bring your face too close?”

“Hehe.”

“I look fine.”

I pressed the shutter without hesitation and the picture was satisfactory. In fact, it wouldn’t have mattered when the face of Rockstrin was filmed, but the other members came out well.

“what. Why are my eyes only half open? I want to do it again.”

“It’s good because it conveys that. Other than that, if you have no complaints, write as it is. It is very expensive to take a picture of this.”

“I am satisfied because my face is the biggest!”

“I’m fine too.”

“Huh. I don’t know.”

Neil copied the photos that came out and decided to distribute them to the members.

Unlike me, the members’ interest in photography quickly faded.

Soon, he had to go out to activate the barrier, and it must have been because he still didn’t have anything to do with the members.

“I just keep looking at it.”

For a long time, I kept looking at the photos, and that’s what Nael said.

“If you look at it in a few years, you will probably feel new.”

“It’s only been 10 minutes now?”

“Because you don’t know when we’ll have a chance to get together like this again.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay anytime? It seems that no one really hates it other than Jerome.”

“Is that right?”

I handed the photo to Neil.

I had to copy it, but I kept holding it, I realized later.

Say ‘anytime’

“… … I hope so.”

I’m so sorry about that though.

Perhaps this will be the only picture of Rockstrin’s face left.

[EXTRA EPISODE]

“hot… … ?”

Hira was startled and shook her shoulders.

Late at night, it was very sudden.

While looking at the livelihood support plan for refugees in the system in the room, a phrase came to mind.

Hira let out a sigh.

‘Rox work will increase again.’

How long has it been since the previous exchange between Sommer Turge and Sorus took place?

It’s already a new episode. Doesn’t this guy even have an acknowledgment?

I’m going to write it down in a notebook and show it to Rockstrin, but seeing it first doesn’t wear it out.

It would be nice to think about it when I had time if there was a vague corner like before, so Hira calmly read the words that came to mind.

And then he took a small breath.
