□ [Armored Pilot] Hugo Receps

The capital of Cardina, Dragnomad, is said to be a particularly unique city with a wide variety of cultures and streets.

Because Dragnomad is [Dragon King Dragnomad]... a city built on the back of a supergiant dragon whose entire length from the tip of the head to the tip of the tail reaches several kilometers.

Given that my sister's pandemonium, which I thought was unlikely to be huge, was one kilometre square, I can really say the size of a breakdown.

"... this is amazing"

"Wow. Shizuka"

Me and Cuco got off a ship that arrived in the capital and stood in port.

I visited the observation deck (...) on the back of [Dragnomad] to meet me, and though I was overlooking the landscape from there... it's a view I couldn't imagine until I actually saw it.

Even that Cuco is a little touched.

Although it won't shake at all, [Dragnomad] is still on the move. It is crossing the land of the desert, which boasts the largest area of the continent.

Continue slowly looking down the middle of the desert, far higher than the skyscrapers.

Fantasy, but fantasy passes.

If you look down, you can see the ship entering the capital. Because of the constant movement, the sandy ship has a mechanism to go up the slope draped from the back of the dragnomad on a loose slope and into the harbour of the back.

The fact that it is provided as a matter of course up to port facilities tells the story of the immensity of [dragnomad].

It just seems' [Dragnomad] but not the biggest as a monster '.

Even for ground dragons, [Mother Dragland of the Earth Dragon] seems to be the size of a shoulder, as well as the Legendary giant tree [Amnille], which serves as a city.

And they say there is [Dragon King Dragstream] as the biggest being ever.

Basically, the monsters seem to get bigger in the ocean, but the [Sea Dragon King] seems to be big enough not to talk about it like that.

Although it attracts interest, it was recorded at the top of the 'Monsters I Never Want to Met' list when I heard from my sister.

That said, he's not coming to the Frontier Sea with Heaven and Earth, which was his destination, and he's not going to be going to Grand Baroa, so he won't have to worry about it.

Apparently the relationship between Cardina and Gran Barroa, where I am now, is deteriorating, so it's even worse.

You've arrived safely.

"Ah. Originally (...) fat"

"Cuco, excuse me!

Looking at the view from the observation deck, Mr. Manigold, who was meeting me, called me.

Mr. Manigold was back in the capital before us for business, but he was able to rendezvous safely.

It should be noted that Cuco says' former fat 'because he is in a different shape than when Mr. Manigold first met him today. It is now in a slurry shape of beauty.

[The Eltram] It became a death penalty after the incident, and the result seems to have been a return to the initial state of shape.

"Quickly, but as promised, I will lead you to a workshop to repair [White Rose]"

"Yes."

Yes, that's the purpose of my visit to this capital.

My [White Rose] sustained serious damage in a recent incident on the [Eltrame]. That's as if the automatic repair feature can't cure you.

Therefore, the engineer in your possession in the capital… the Master's [Blue Opera] was also to be shown to the person in charge.

Although the concepts and materials are different, the two planes are both works of my sister.

The story was that if the person who usually deals with [Blue Opera] might be able to repair [White Rose] as well.

[White Rose] could be back.

With that hope, we headed to the workshop with Mr. Manigold.

◇ ◇ ◇

"I can't fix it."

…………

Technicians who saw [White Rose] taken out of the garage at the Cardina's Capital Workshop near the harbor affirmed most so at the opening.

... where is the hope.

"What do you mean? You'll get as much fat as you want."

"I can't."

The technician - a [high-ranking technician] man named Mr. Caluto - also lays on Cuco's words and affirms that he "cannot".

"Let's be clear, this is already a scrap"

"... familiar"

My love machine, a gift from my sister, [White Rose].

But its appearance has changed tragically.

All limbs are lost, all armor is falling off or crushed, internal frames are distorted and broken, the engines that convert the magic of the pilot are dead, and the skills applied do not function.

There should have been a maintenance function, but I wasn't even trying to cure it anymore.

[White Rose] was... completely out of function.

"What fight would break this far?

"Damaged in battle with each other"

Triple battle against Dragon Head and Red and White Dragon.

An ambush in flames and a battle against opponents transformed into < UBM >.

The cost of destroying the line after using up all the features is now [White Rose].

"Do you know the name of the other airframe?

"… [Imperial Glory]. We won, but here's what happened to the fuselage."

Although it was a battle with two planes, almost all the wounds were sustained from the dragon head...... [Imperial Glory].

rider's skill and fuselage performance. Both were far more powerful enemies.

"... ho?

To my answer, Mr. Calute moved his eyebrows somewhere for fun.

"I see. Did you beat him with this? Ho,... Ho!

Mr. Caluto was lifting parts of the scraped [White Rose], with a niggling grin.

"Even though the opponent is Tian, will he beat the previous period with a manipulator-dependent normal power furnace to have a civilized power furnace? Franklin raised his arm, too. Or a pilot's arm."

"Huh?"

It's like knowing your sister.

In the first place, I haven't even told this guy whose hand [White Rose] was made.

He also maintains his master's [Blue Opera], so I read the maker's habits...?

"Hmm? What. You didn't hear that from AR · I · CA or Manigold?

As I think about what he said, he shifts his gaze from [White Rose] to me to mouth the answer to the question.

"I'm a former Triangle. He's one of the founding members, and [Imperial Glory] is part of my team."

"Nah!?

Founding member of Triangle of Wisdom!?

Besides, who made that [Imperial Glory]......!

"I'm in charge of the armed side. Dragonic Byrne or Paintnapalm."

…………

Right, this guy...

This person... Teng himself made it a specification that "audio input is required when armed".

"... dude. I'm telling you, it's not my fault for the audio check."

You perceived the voice of my heart, Mr. Calute corrected it with an unpleasant face.

"The control guy took the liberty of incorporating it. So, the big fight that started it becomes my reason to leave the clan. Extra restrictions on masterpieces..."

"Ah, yes..."

Apparently, the production team wasn't a single rock.

... Even when I was there, the collision between personality and hobby was a daily tea meal.

"It's not even Franklin, by the way. That time of year, when AR-I CA fell out, there was a big fight and Franklin was rough. He threw a round at us on a national order."

"Huh?"

When the master falls out...... big fight?

The master said he got [Blue Opera] from his sister, and although he thought he had broken up very well...

"I missed my clan because of that circumstance, but I got a meeting early from a Cardina spy. Accepted by boat on crossing. So, when Cardina attacked the Empire in the previous intervention in the war, it was a flurry that they finally picked it up and came this way."

"I see..."

I have some doubts, but I have been convinced.

Although I heard there were quite a few deserters of [Marshall II], that was before the completion of [Marshall II]. Most people were disgusted with unsuccessful projects.

So after [Marshall II] was completed and recognized by the state, there were few defectors because of the favourable treatment and excellent development environment.

But Mr. Caluto was one of the few exceptions.

One who had a properly completed [Marshall II] mechanism in his head and was also entrusted with the development of special aircraft such as [Imperial Glory].

I guess that's why Cardina headhunted him, too.

And if you've been in the Triangle of Wisdom since its inception, it's no wonder you broke through [White Rose] with your sister's work.

"No one in Cardina is more familiar with man-shaped < Magingear > than I am.... and again from that point of view, I can't fix this guy. He's dead.... it's quicker to just inherit the concept and build a new one"

…………

Mr Caluto repeats what he said earlier, and the fact that it is irreparable is pressed again.

Or...... even your sister may not be able to bring you back from this state.

"In the first place, Mr. How did Franklin build this fuselage? As a pure mechanical engineer, isn't the cult better up there?

Until then, Mr. Manigold asked, listening in silence.

"The Franklin guy is an appliance that can be specially processed... we can have a special monster. So it can be processed, smelted, and granted more advanced than we are."

Pandemonium, my sister's Super Embrio, has considerable freedom in monster creation.

I guess that means I applied that to development as well.

"Besides, [opera] was in its sixth form when it was produced, but this [White Rose] has been a work since it became super. It has been given more special processing. Except for the accidental singing power reactor, this guy performs better than [opera]."

I guess that's why Mr. Caluto says he can't fix it himself.

"Can't you even Replacorn?

Mr. Manigold asks Mr. Caluto overlapping questions.

"Replacorn?

"It's mine. TYPE: Legion, [Copycat Artisan Replacorn]"

When Mr. Caluto said so, many dwarves appeared from the crest of his left hand.

Those were dwarves with gears, seemingly mechanical tricks.

"Capability traits are imitators as well as brands. When mechanical products are disassembled, you can master only a little of the technology used. The more you break it down, the better your technology acquisition rate goes."

"It's..."

"It means that we can dismantle the machinery of earlier civilizations provided by Cardina and, in part, acquire the technology of earlier civilizations. Even treasured."

Has the skill of civilization in previous periods!

Then maybe......

"However, there are also many restrictions. First, the more complex and advanced mechanical products, the lower the technology acquisition rate. In some cases, it cannot be disassembled in the first place. What I can make to it depends on my own DEX and skill level, and no matter how I scratch it compared to the original, it doesn't reach 100%. That's why I didn't even do the disassembly of the civilized power reactor in the previous period. Super altitude on top of a small number. It makes sense to break it down, because it's too unlikely to get the technology."

…………

"Besides, there's nothing to talk about in the first place about fixing this guy. First of all, man-made robotic weapons themselves were only in civilization for about a mechanical golem earlier. Those that remain are almost monstered. Besides, I'm not the type of person who boards. We don't have the technology to imitate it, and our Leprechaun can't even handle it. It's exquisite to aid in my processing."

"............... Really?"

In Mr. Caluto's explanation, the hopes he was about to hold disappeared.

... Indeed, if there is, the sisters may not have tried to make it themselves.

"The humanoid robot of civilization from earlier periods? I recently found out that it exists. Autonomous human robotic weapons have emerged from the kingdom."

"Seriously. Samples?"

"None"

"It doesn't make sense!

From what I just explained, I guess I still can't do without the original mechanical product.

"Ha... That's why you give up. Without a civilizational example, I'd be a pretty good engineer."

I felt complacent about my technical skills in my remarks, but I was nonetheless affirmed three times that I could not repair [White Rose].

"- I have a loan permit from the owner, what if I said?

- But this word by Mr. Manigold changed the color of Mr. Caluto's eyes.

"... are you serious?

"I also recognized the importance of this workshop in the development of [Blue Opera], the acquisition of civilized technology from earlier periods, and the renovation of Rainbow. So the hell they're lending it out. So, can we do this?

"... there's a possibility."

Upon hearing the answer, Mr. Manigold nodded satisfactorily.

"Okay. Hugo, I'm going to go get what I need to fix. Follow me."

"Okay. So... where are you going?

I asked a different question than that, also with the question of what it would be necessary to repair.

- It's our home.

Surprised by the answer, I followed Mr. Manigold.
