102 – Chapter 34. Fortune – 3
– 103 –
I visited the palace again the next day. The king and pope greeted me with embarrassment.
“This is true. Yesterday we had a blast.”
“I’ve met a person I like for a long time, so maybe that’s not the case.”
Two old men who looked like grandchildren chatted and toasted.
“Are you drinking again?”
“No. This is barley drink.”
“This is a fruit drink.”
There was a faint smell of alcohol, but I decided to just let it go.
I didn’t want to waste any more time than this.
“So. What information does the Holy Kingdom want to know? Aircraft drawings? Information on tank improvement parts? First of all, I am a helicopter expert, so I can only tell you the rest of the level at the level of reading drawings and manuals.”
As soon as we started talking, their expressions became serious.
After resting for a while, the pope lowered his eyes slightly.
“I want all the information that can be implemented with current technology. We will reorganize the army of God with the weapons we have created.”
I listened to the pope’s request and looked at the king’s expression, but he was only sipping barley drinks as if nothing had happened.
It must have already been discussed in advance.
If it wasn’t, there was a possibility that the improved weapons in the Holy Kingdom would be sold to neighboring countries, so the king would have reacted immediately.
“What would you do if there was a country secretly attached to the Asmodian side like the Eitian Empire? Even if it isn’t, there is a possibility that the demons will secretly steal the technology.”
“All weapons made with new technology will be made in Selmeier or the Holy Kingdom. They sell it to other countries at a lower price. And I will put a ban on those weapons.”
After all, it means that weapons are made and sold in Selmeier or the Holy Kingdom.
The King of Selmeier, who is benefiting, has no reason to oppose.
Another important thing was the prohibition.
Restriction that attack-type magic is not activated if the building or sergeant belongs to the same organization.
Is it a technique that prevents attacks between the same team?

Paying attention to the fact that the relics of the demon god cannot attack Gravturm, the affiliation of my body was determined using the prohibition.
Sacred relics created during the Shinma War were all banned except for the body of a humanoid spirit like myself, and the minor copies of the sergeants didn’t put any restrictions on it.
That’s why we can fight back and forth with the same weapons.
“It would be fine if we were to restrict the countries of production and even mobilize a ban.”
They both smiled satisfied when they showed their consent.
“Then I can see that Erif-sama agrees. As for the transfer of technology, it would be good for the pope to speak.”
“We will dispatch engineers to the research center in the military academy. We have temporarily created the Selmeier Kingdom and the Technology Cooperation Team, so please show your face often.”
After speaking, the pope held out his hand.
I looked at his face and hand for a moment, then grabbed his hand.
The pope drew a benevolent smile like a saint on the boy’s face.
“Then, thank you. Misfire.”
The progress of the work was surprisingly fast.
The basement of the military academy research center, which was used as a warehouse, was emptied, and the Technology Cooperation Group and an agency affiliated with the Ministry of Information that track the movements of demons entered at the same time.
Students in and out of the research center were less likely to hear anything.
Instead, a small number of students, including myself, were legally absent from classes to help with research.
Cermia and Shane have the title of ‘protagonist’, which they always thought strangely after regaining their memories.
Yurine, the squire of Master Chromanium.
Saint (Jin) Ireana.
And the 1st to 3rd grade students with excellent grades visited the institute frequently.
I met Kanon a few times while going back and forth.
“Erif. Could you please check if the interpretation of the drawing is correct?”
I accepted the drawing that a researcher offered me.
It’s a fighter drawing.
“I will compare it with the original and write it down if there is anything strange.”
“Thank you.”
After taking a deep breath, she picked up her pen.
As she closed her left eye and focused her mind, the element of wind gathered in front of her.
When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw a document from the archives that was somewhere in the spirit realm.
After discussing the sharing of data for a long time, we came to the conclusion that we should use the archives in this way, and everyone recorded their knowledge there.
Looking at the blueprint provided by the researcher with his right eye, he found the model.
SLF-16 fighter. It’s the most common and common model.
So, from the beginning of the research, we have been accelerating the development, but this is probably the final adjustment.
Compare the prototype with the drawing, check the parts that are not possible with the current technology, and write down the replacement parts or the required technology.
Rather, there are some areas where the performance can be improved with modern technology, so I added a comment.
“Here.”
“Thank you.”
The researcher bowed several times and ran out of the room.
Drawing comparison is a task that consumes a lot of mental power.
It was up to the researchers to interpret the drawings I handed over, but I was in charge of the important adjustments.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t accumulated enough know-how yet.
In the future, I hope that the researchers and the weapons development department will develop it on their own.
“Whoa.”
I completely buried myself in the sofa.
I felt like I was about to fall asleep because I was dazed.
“Is it difficult?”
Cermia softened her expression and poured water as if she was sorry.
“Thank you.”
As the cold water passed through my throat, my mind cleared.
“Rest is also important. Would you like to unwind later?”
As Rihann, who was sitting across from him, suggested, Chermia’s eyes lit up.
Rian is the daughter of a wealthy man who owns all kinds of shops, so it seems that he is expecting something luxurious.
“How are you going to relax your body? Exercise?”
“Exercise is enough for daily rituals or running. Haven’t you ever had an esthetic? I recently opened a top-notch shop downtown. I got permission to bring my friends.”
Hearing Rihanna’s words, Chermia chirped and made a fuss at her, but I didn’t know what it was and didn’t really care.
Is skin care a problem now?
If a war breaks out right now, it looks like you have to manage the soldiers.
When I didn’t react, Chermia and Rian forced him to stand up.
“Let’s go to Erif once.”
“Yes. I made a reservation for three people.”
“Have you already made a reservation?”
Lead the dragon. This lady.
Rian laughed softly and folded his arms to prevent me from running away.
Chermia lifted up my bag and greeted her researchers, creating an atmosphere that ended naturally.
Researchers signaled not to go with your eyes, but what can I do?
I go to school in a human body, but I can’t ignore my friends.
And it was true that I was exhausted, so maybe I need a change of mood.
I was taken to the esthetic shop like that, and my body was relaxed enough to melt, and I had to return to the dormitory.
It worked well.
As the curriculum was drastically changed, the exams also showed significant changes.
Most of the midterm exams have disappeared or have been filled with simple practical skills.
And the final exam is very long, and practical tests are conducted.
“Right! Right side!”
“Oh, I missed it!”
A tank on the ground turned its barrel and stopped at the cry of a friend of the operator class sitting next to him.
Sighs erupted from the seat next to him and from the communicator at the same time.
“How about listening to the operator again from the basics? It’s a deduction.”
A friend of the operator class bowed his head in response to the teacher sitting in the back seat.
Reconnaissance magic used on the ground is very limited by the terrain.
So, the strategy these days to use reconnaissance magic in the air is to practice in advance with a helicopter instead of an airplane that is still under development.
“Next is Erif.”
“Yes.”
Because we often do joint training, there were often cases where the tests were conducted on the same day.
The one I am currently riding was a Cherubim type, a reconnaissance helicopter.
For a while, it was able to hide with illusion magic, and all spirits were put into noise control and defense.
So the pilot is entirely dependent on the skill of the pilot.
“Make sure to control the noise.”
[[I see.]]
The people on the plane looked surprised at the sword-like answers of the intermediate spirits.
“I’ve only heard it in words, but it’s amazing. Being able to communicate freely with intermediate spirits.”
When a friend of the operator class talked quietly, the teacher in the back seat gave me a pin to keep quiet during the exam.
I moved along the set course quietly and not too fast.
An anti-aircraft artillery area where traces of magical power are visible for a certain period of time when hit.
It is a place where many dropouts are expected.
Raised the altitude to the point where the reconnaissance magic barely reached.
Dozens of anti-aircraft guns have fired, but most of them can’t even reach here.
Only the big ones were avoided with evasive maneuvers.
After turning around for a certain amount of time near the set target, it headed towards the final destination.
After landing safely at the destination, the teacher took out a notebook.
“Erif Cruel. It’s perfect.”
That’s right. As always.
As winter approached, strange stories were heard from both inside and outside the country.
Whether the demons show signs of terrorism, or the behavior of other countries is unusual.
Especially these days, what has come up a lot in the news was the Eitian Empire located in the northern part of the Irish continent.
Not long ago, the emperor passed away and the heir to the throne was rumored to be missing.
I think it has something to do with the second prince’s coup d’etat.
Children are simply bringing up stories from other countries as a matter of interest, but knowing the circumstances, my insides are complicated.
Maybe it’s not a story that has much to do with us.
“Erif. Why are you looking so serious?”
“Because of Aitiane.”
“Were you interested in foreign countries? Oh, every time Canael goes out to play. I didn’t think anyone else would be interested.”
Chermia said with a smile, but she didn’t feel relieved.
“We might get involved too.”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“I’ll see you later.”
The king and the pope are adhering to the caution that ‘if we do not engage in other countries, neither will this side come forward’, but the second prince and demons seemed to be entwined with other countries in some way.
Because demons have always been greedy.
A few days later, I heard the news I was worried about.
“The Republic of Estial denounced the second prince Aitian as an ‘obvious coup’ and announced that it would empower the crown prince…….”
I thought they were playing some news in the morning, but everyone seemed to be surprised by the unusual content.
“Atian wasn’t a very distant country, was it?”
“STR is like ATIAN. It is also close to the border.”
“If the Empire invades Estial, I think sparks will come out towards us…….”
When the news was over, Armion looked around her students with a serious expression.
He opened his mouth heavily.
“Maybe, that might be your first battlefield.”
Then the classroom became quiet.
Armion’s expression was serious to be a joke.
“If it’s from another country, why are we doing it?”
Everyone nodded in agreement with the courageous student’s words.
Armion said while standing on the table.
“Be careful not to leak these words. There is a suspicion of collusion between the Empire and the Demons.”
The classroom became silent again.
Demons are the enemies of human beings and other races on earth.
If the war started, there was a high probability that the pilot class students in special circumstances would be called out.
The children realized that and were silent.
The name of the war was too heavy for them, who were almost all grown up, but still young at heart.
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the pilot class for a while.
Until the day when full-scale intervention in the Empire and the Republic begins.
