Chapter 205.1. The Flag Has Been Retrieved

The remains of Frost Giants and the corpses of many monsters littered the area, creating a hellish landscape. 
Some wrinkled their noses due to the stench emanating from the monster corpses.
“With such a large number, the smell is quite intense, isn’t it?” 
Mii-chan also covered her nose and made a disgusted expression.
“After we gather the necessary materials, we’ll burn them, so you’ll have to bear with it until then, Mii-sama. I’ll hold you tight until then.” 
“The undead turned into ashes and disappeared, huh? It’s become like that since it’s necromancy, but isn’t it disappointing? All the magic weapons disappeared too.” 
The kind Yamiyo embraced Mii-chan. She exuded a girl’s fragrance. It smells nice somehow.
Tamamo looked at the ashes of the Liches and folded her disappointed fox ears.
By the way, I find it strange. Even though it’s necromancy, there were drops.
Maybe it’s because of my game specifications. Lucky us. In that case, I could have an infinite item duplication glitch. But I have a feeling that drops only appear when enemies are defeated.
“What will happen with the distribution of these?”
“With this many, we should be able to get plenty. Stop wasting time and get to work.” 
Old man Martini and Kongou-neesan were filled with joy, as they diligently collected magic stones and disassembled materials that seemed useful.
“Old man, do your best, okay?”
“Hey, aren’t you on the verge of having your pocket money restored?”
“Eh! Isn’t this like an extra income?”
Adventurers who were planning to go to the Ranch Dungeon came to see the large-scale battle with fear and trepidation, and we paid them to help us. 
The adventurers are delighted because it means money for them.
There are also level 30 monsters, so the profit this time will be considerable.
Roughly estimated, it’s in the range of several hundred billion yen.
But more importantly, something incredible happened.
“So, this is a magical weapon, huh…?”
“Do you understand its design?”
“It seems to have been set to self-destruct once it gets destroyed. Investigating it will take quite some time.”
Sena was having a conversation with the guards. 
The fallen Frost Giants were the ones Seina and the others defeated.
Mii-chan’s opponent was completely reduced to scrap, flat as a pancake.
I have a feeling I can only recover the magical metal that became materials.
Only two Frost Giants remained defeated by Yamiyo and Sena. 
It seems Frost Giant that broke through the [Perma Frost] barrier wasn’t as strong and was easily defeated.
Yamiyo and Sena were the ones who played an active role in the vanguard. 
Wasn’t Sena a monk? There are craters on the armor where she got punched.
“Since they’re utilizing the physical bodies of the monsters, they seem likely to decay. Let’s use preservation magic on them.”
While watching Sena explain everything promptly, I contemplate.
Why did she know about Frost Giants? She also knew about Aegir.
If I consider it like the usual template. Sena already knew through the Royal Family’s information network.
If it’s not normal, then she might be a reincarnator. 
That would be Mii-chan is coming up with that idea because she’s a reincarnator.
If it were an ordinary person, they’d worry about the other person having chuunibyou when they come up with such thoughts.
But the possibility of her being a reincarnator is unlikely. If she were a reincarnator, her tactics are too amateurish.
Mii-chan will expand her influence properly behind the scenes.
Or rather, mentioning the enemy’s name is ridiculous unless it’s intentional. 
That’s something that only happens in novels or anime.
A careless reincarnator who would do such things doesn’t exist in reality. Mii-chan wouldn’t do something like that.
In that case, it must be Royal Family’s information network.
But if Sena had to give up hiding because the opponent was too dangerous and had no choice but to tell, then it would mean she’s a reincarnator.
Next time, I’ll casually have a conversation and probe. Since she doesn’t seem like an enemy, I’ll observe quietly.
Let’s set aside Sena for now and focus on the main story.
What does the main story mean? Is it the prologue? This is not a game world. 
Therefore, a story like precognition is impossible.
However, it was displayed in the logs. 
What does it mean? Honestly, I don’t know.
I need to talk to Grandpa Odin about it.
Precognition… Is it precognition? 
At first glance, it looks like a story about precognition, but it also informed me during the Stampede and Naga Raja battles.
It feels like it’s just describing current events from a third-person perspective.
It’s like a perspective from a god.
It’s like knowing what is happening in the past and providing insights based on current events. That’s all it seems to be.
It’s like a piece of advice disguised as a game story. Perhaps it’s a narrative trick.
Since I can’t verify it, maybe it’s time to stop thinking about it and refocus.
“Hey, Tamamo-chan. How much do you think those Frost Giants cost?”
“Well, from a rough estimate, it would be around 500 billion yen per creature considering the mithril, orichalcum, adamantite, magic iron, and mana drives they used… I guess.”
“Did the enemy go bankrupt after this battle?”
“This was a large-scale operation. They shouldn’t be able to move for a while. Judging from the flow of materials and money, we can surely get hold of Nidhogg’s tail.”
Indeed, she’s from the master of magic tool maker, Aburage family. Tamamo’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the remains of the defeated Frost Giants with great interest.
With a slight squint, Yamiyo calmly pondered the details of this incident.
The Royal Guards were guarding the vicinity of the remains, not allowing anyone to approach. They must intend to keep it confidential.
But if we don’t secure the gemstones, something rustling around might snatch them away.
However, even if Mii-chan reduces the mana cost, the production cost is too high. I can’t use this. 
In the original story, they had over a hundred of them, which explains why the later collapse of Nidhogg happened.
If one of their leaders dies and the funds run out. It will collapse.
And as Yamiyo mentioned, we might be able to grab Nidhogg’s tail. That is if no one interferes with the investigation.
While Yamiyo tightly embraced me, pondering the future developments, one of the guards flew down from the sky.
“We’ve found Captain Gotou and the others!”
The person was someone who had been worriedly searching for Captain Gotou and the others, who didn’t even appear in telepathic communication.
From their anxious expression, it’s clear that something serious has happened.
It seems Captain Gotou raised his flag.
“Let’s hurry and go!”
“Yeah!”
In response to Sena’s words, Mi-chan and the others, guided by the scout, headed toward the designated location.
