Chapter 35 (2/2)

Thinking so I spoke, but Ayla nodded with a somewhat strange excitement.

「C-Can I go as well?」

「Eh? I’m going to only check the camera?」

「I want to see what is that thing called camera!」

Looks like it’s curiosity. Ayla was strangely cheerful after the problem with the Azul Kingdom cleared up. Probably she had a lot of things on her mind that she was unable to bring them up until now.

「…I hope it’s something interesting.」

Muttering so, I give a sidelong glance to A1 that was standing silently. It would be funny if it was something like a portable A1, small enough to fit on the palm, but I might be disappointed if it turns out to be something like a simple digital camera.

No, it’s ought to be something like a huge crystal or a camera fitting for a magical world, if so then I will be entertained as well.

While inflating imagination with all sorts of various ideas I step outside the castle, bringing Ayla and A1 along, then I see the figure of Mea approaching us.

「Taiki-sama! Something is heading over here!」

「Something?」

Tilting my head to Mea’s words I look in the direction she’s pointing. Then I saw a black and round object flying our way.

It most likely is the distant view camera that I commanded to display the main gate of the castle.

「Mea, it’s probably okay.」

When I declared that, Mea looked back at that object in relief.

However, this rules out the possibility of a huge crystal. Too bad.

With everyone watching attentively, the distant view camera stops at the point where it would give a panoramic view of the main gate to the castle.

「Is that Taiki-sama’s flying golem that was projecting the image of the surface?」

「Flying golem!」

Mea reacted to Ayla’s question. With sparkling eyes, Mea looks up at the distant view camera.

「No, I guess it’s a drone. But it’s really great that it didn’t break even after being struck by fire and winds. A real drone would break in one shot.」

As I say that while looking up at the black object, the drone, the two exchange glances and tilt their heads.

Although it looks like a hollow frame of a UFO, it’s quite cool.

「I feel like there were a lot of distant view cameras… Then, if we segmented the screen and made full use of it, would a whole bunch of such drones be flying around?」

I think that for an uninformed person that would be a frightening sight.

「Ehm, is this drone thing not a golem?」

「Well, they might be similar, but… How should I put it?」

I rack my brains unable to answer Ayla’s question.

I think they are also called unmanned aircraft or robot plane, and I don’t think they would understand if I say that it’s a mechanism.

「Let’s just say that this mechanism is a variant of golems…..」

「Mechanism.」

「Mechanism?」

No, I cannot explain more than that myself.

I almost blurt out such words without thinking.
