Chapter 196.2. Coming Out!
-Miu’s POV-
However, they’re young girls.
The ones we encounter ahead might be monsters and humans who could become our enemies.
There may be situations where they have to take someone’s life. It could become traumatic.
Even though recovery magic can restore it, I don’t feel comfortable with it emotionally.
But I know I couldn’t stop them.
“Understood. Then let’s fight together as a team of three!”
In that case, I’ll take care of dealing with humans.
As Takano Miu, I can fight without feeling guilty, as if I’m defeating enemies in a game.
“Let’s go fully equipped tomorrow!”
“We’ll also prepare some magic tools! We can make makeshift ones too, just in case.”
“Let’s do our best!”
We high-five each other, preparing ourselves for the battle tomorrow.
“Well then, let’s go to sleep, Mii-sama.”
“We’ll sleep side by side, and Kon-chan can sleep by the pillow.”
“Is it okay if I stroke Kon-chan?”
It’s time to sleep.
We can’t stay up late, after all.
“Ah! Why are you already asleep? I’ll sleep with you too!”
Sena returns to the room, puffing up her cheeks in protest.
Oops, I forgot about her.
By the way, Sena hasn’t asked Mii-chan about her interactions with Karen, so she seems unaware of what Captain Gotou did.
It seems he intends to keep Miu’s secret only between the Emperor, himself, and me.
She must want some snacks.
The next day, Mii-chan’s magical armor is brought into the room.
“Oh, great! We happen to have our latest model that we just finished developing. It’s a prototype. But it’s already a completed product waiting for mass production. If it’s for Takano-sama, I’m sure you’ll like this magic armor.”
A skinny salesman with glasses from the emerging weapons company Ulhara enters the room and says with a smile.
They were conducting combat tests for magic armor in Kamakura by pure coincidence.
“This is our pride, the Wartan. It’s a versatile machine that allows combat in various environments by changing attachments.”
“Is it being produced as a mass-produced model from the beginning?”
Mii-chan asks the salesman while putting on the magic armor.
She wears a thin, tight suit and attaches the armor.
The gray armor and suit don’t look particularly good together.
The armor itself is angular, resembling a combination of small boxes.
A mana drive engine, processed with a magic stone, is installed in the center of the chest.
A line of light connects from the mana drive engine to the armor.
“That’s right. The frame itself is equipped with a powerful mana drive and magic barriers. And we have laid out magical circuits to oversee the attachments. The attachments also have small mana drives, allowing them to become dedicated machines when equipped with expensive attachments. Yes.”
“It’s perfect for me!”
“Due to its simple mechanism, you could easily adjust the suit size. Yes.”
Oh, I’m impressed.
With this, it should be fine no matter how much damage it takes.
Changing the size of a suit is quite difficult, you know.
“Per your request, we have equipped the shoulder, back, and leg attachments with thrusters for high mobility. Yes.”
The various gems attached to the boxes emit mana at will.
It looks cool. I can’t wait to use it.
“Understood! Then I’ll take this!”
It may not like my game specification, but it should be suitable for performance testing and promotion.
“Thank you for your purchase. White Cat Type 15 reportedly becomes unusable after a single battle. But, with our latest model mana armor, the Wartan, it won’t break easily, so please use it to your heart’s content.”
The salesperson smiles meaningfully, bows, and departs. If the Kitty Cat company hears about this, it might become quite troublesome…
Well, new emerging companies need to work a little harder to compete for market share, so I hope they overlook it.
“Well then, the preparations are complete, right, Mii-sama?”
“I’m ready too, Konkon.”
“I’m fully prepared as well.”
Yamiyo, Tamamo, and Sena are also ready. Kongou-neesan and the others have serious expressions, frowning upon hearing about the upcoming battle.
“Well then, is Karen-san okay?”
“Yes. Count Outomo is already in position. Once we confirm the signal, the barons will incite the monsters. Count Outomo and the others are scheduled to come to our aid shortly after.”
Karen responds while rubbing her hands together with a sheepish smile.
Captain Gotou and the others are no longer here.
They have advanced to lure out the enemies in the rear.
The Vice Captain is currently commanding the Royal Guards.
“Alright then, let’s go defeat those despicable scoundrels quickly!”
“Let’s teach them the meaning of messing with Teijou Marquisate.”
“Oh yeah! I’ll give it my all!”
“Things turned out differently than expected, but the result seems to be the same.”
Yamiyo and the others raise their hands and shout with a unified voice, filled with determination.
After this is over, let’s talk about going to defeat the Greater Hornbear Cow, but I resist the urge.
Because it would trigger a flag, you see.
Mii-chan doesn’t set up those kinds of flags.
