Vol 13 Chapter 239 (1/2)
Prologue
The Labyrinth subjugation base south of Beiotten around to simply be called South Beim
That small town that was said to have been ained some vitality in less than a month
That’s hoas supposed to be, and a number of merchant houses had flooded in The port was, at the very least able toback and forth
The craftsht in by the merchants and other relevant parties instantly increased the town’s population
In that energetic South Beim, with Monica and Clare… the three of us looked a Poter in the warehouse
Having been worn through by constant use, Porter had been serviced by Monica for the long journey ahead, but…
“Porter… you’ve grown up splendidly”
… Touching both hands to my mouth, I looked at Porter
On its cylinder of a head, two large, round eyes That part hadn’t changed But its body had undergone heavy modifications It was alure
From the Jewel… the ancestors’ hearts were also moved
『Porter is our comrade Looks like he’s beco』
『I… see attachment towards this mass of iron and clockwork』
『This density, this dignity While being evenbody, the perfect assimilation of pointlessness and male romance… Porter, you’re the best』
It was just as the Seventh said This Porter… had becoe-scale Porter, and took it as a challenge I’m sure
Its greatest showpiece was the pair of arms folded on top
The parts it used were externally reinforced iant monster we once defeated in Arumsaas, and carefully manufactured
Monica spoke, bri with pride
“It would be troubling if that was enough to areater than those three units at Professor Damien’s place Fundamentally! Porter, show everyone your true form! …Clara-san, as we discussed, please”
Monica assumed a pose, but when Clara didn’t show any reaction, she took a few glances, and sent a request
Clara quietly nodded, and held up her staff
Slowly co alive, Porter’s front portion lifted up, and became a torso
The ar portion was supported up by an increased eight tires with a reinforced frame
“WOOOAAAHH!!”
When I showed my excitement, Monica excitedly looked at me
“A, isn’t it! Monica is different from those scrap metals around the place! My base specs are different than those garbage that would rejoice at sorade, or a small modification! Now bear witness, my chicken dickwaaad!!”
Holding both hands towards the ceiling, her yell sounded as if it caht from her soul
Inside the Jewel, the ancestors as well…
『A, Porter!』
『You did your best…』
『What a form This boorish form… it’s perfect, is it not!』
But there was a single one to give a cold opinion It was Milleia-san Having joined along the way, Milleia-san didn’t have any affection for Porter Let alone that, she was a person who said his head was unnecessary And she offered her fifty copper
『… Are these functions really necessary? They aren’t, right? Rather, this… how much space is taken to stow those unnecessary parts? I don’t knohat to think about adding on strange features and doing nothing to make your trip more comfortable』
I wanted to tell her how she just didn’t get it, but it’s true it was an important point
“… Monica, I understand that Porter has been reborn So how are its specs compared to before? As in usable space, and comfort”
Monica stuck out her index finger, and bent it left and right
“Chicken dickwad, you’d do best not to underestimate me I’ve sacrificed a bit of space, but I put the craftsmen to work”
To her, Clara quietly
“You overworked them, is what you mean If Monica-san ever approaches thenomes will now run away at full force”
I looked at Monica
“What exactly did you do?”
She shrugged her shoulders, and shook her head tiredly
“They’re crafts to surmount an impossible order On the contrary, I’d like you to praise me Because this Monica has passed down various lost crafts For the sake of South Beim’s future, no… for the sake of my chicken!”
I circled around to Porter’s back, and opened the door
“It’s gotten a little narrower? Well, there are sofas, or rather benches attached on both sides, so perhaps that’s why it looks that way”
The oods or people, that reliable and central member of our party had been reborn
As I returned to Monica’s side, Clara reverted Porter to its original form
She tilted her head
“It’s weight has gone up considerably Yet even so, I get the feeling the Mana expenditure to drive it has lowered And whenever Ifeels off”
Monica walked up to Porter, opened up its front portion, and showed it off
In it, the three stones of the Peridot we’d found in the Labyrinth had been ee mechanisms furnished around them
“Ah, emstones…”
“… That’s right! This is Porter’s energy source! By it, Porter will surely move more powerfully than before! It’s truly Porter’s heart! With only three gemstones, we’ve achieved a suitable means of operation!”
As Monica took solances at uilt at taking them
And I put a hand to Porter, and muttered
“Porter, good for you”
Clara, in regards to me
“If Lyle-san’s fine with that, then so be it More so, you’re just going to ignore how she arbitrarily used the gelected to report that to the party, Monica-san”
On Clara’s words, Monica flipped each of her twin tails
“That was the chicken dickwad’s personal possession And I ao, everything of the chicken dickwad’s belongs to s to the chicken dickwad! So there’s no problem to speak of!”
When she checked to see if I was eous statement, so I chopped her head form behind
“Of course it’s no good Say you’re going to use them beforehand”
“Auu… but everyone was so busy these days, and whenever you got back, you’d all collapse asleep, so I was trying to be tactful in my oay”
Right, ere busy
It wasn’t just South Beim, we had a necessity to act for as to come Porter’s modifications were a part of that
