Episode 265. α (14)
… it’s morning.
-Get up, ▒▒!
It seems that the celestial bodies surrounding the star move faithfully and without fail.
They say that the distant sky has brightened again today.
Since the two suns appear together like close siblings, there will definitely be no loneliness in that upper layer.
But it is not easy to observe it from where I live.
-I have to go to work. Even at this moment, there are many citizens who are desperately waiting for the help of our First Magical Master.
From now on, we will turn our eyes towards the ‘sea’ and check the environment directly.
I am ready to work according to the instructions of my only direct supervisor… … .
Originally I was going to do it right away.
It was that moment. Just before leaving for the waters in charge. For some reason, something caught my eye.
[Just a moment.]
The day before yesterday it was a male.
Yesterday, my boss was a female.
Today, it suddenly appeared in a body of unknown form, so to be honest, I was curious.
[But what is that shape?]
I asked a question.
[I heard that you’ve been changing your body more frequently. Now, I don’t even know what to call you.]
-ha ha ha.
[At this point, it’s not even clear where you started. Is there a reason why you change gender so often?]
To this the boss replied,
-Why? The reason is, to understand.
Because there is no learning in this world as vivid as experiencing it firsthand.
Alpha-neutered hermaphrodites occur in males, females, and a small number of females with abnormalities in the s*x chromosomes.
After experiencing all the different types of flesh that exist here, the other person is said to have reached this conclusion.
The s*xually reproductive body, which has vital organs for reproduction and is governed by the desire to reproduce, is inferior no matter how you look at it. At least for today’s era.
therefore.
-What you’re looking at now is a new silent prototype that I’ve recently developed. As soon as I finish making the final improvements, I plan to replicate it and distribute it to my acquaintances.
Well, anyway, I heard that there were such circumstances.
It may seem like a useless task in many ways, but that boss’s weird behavior isn’t something that goes on for a day or two.
-Now that your question has been answered, can you get down to work right away?
After the conversation, after some time, a vast ocean filled my perception organ.
It was that beautiful planetary landscape with giant satellites floating in the sky.
***
see.
When I actually checked the list, there were quite a few things that needed to be done.
[What should I do first to get people to say I did well?]
I pretended to think about it for a moment, then decided to just go about my mission as usual.
[The safest thing to do would be to do it in the order you are instructed.]
● Guidance and punishment of criminals
The first thing to do is to destroy the research institute hidden in the deep sea plain.
[Hmm~]
After looking at the information my boss gave me, it seemed like the research institute in question had copied the historical ‘bone experiment’ that took place in the distant past.
A bone experiment conducted by a group called the Maddo Tower.
I know that in the mid-century, there were very few true magicians, so it was a project that was quickly abandoned because it was difficult to achieve results.
[Is there a need to re-attempt such an old, relic-like record?]
Alphauri has recently seen the extinction of many useful magical creatures from its ecosystem.
So the prices of various materials used in magic have skyrocketed.
It seems that these lowly sorcerers eventually began to conduct forbidden experiments for that very reason. Life was so tough.
-Ugh!
Bam!
-Damn it, I got caught!
-Everyone, take your materials and run away!
-With all that cognitive distortion, how on earth did they get caught… …!
But no matter what the reason, if you do something like this, you should be punished.
Our world strictly prohibits human experimentation without the consent of the parties involved by law.
However, the researchers hiding here have copied the shortcomings of the historical armed group called the Magic Tower.
The experimental materials were kidnapped and smuggled away. So shouldn’t they start paying the price soon?
[This house is too well built to be torn down.]
Alphauri has had many substances that emit light on their own since ancient times.
Because of recent technological advancements, many magic spells have emerged that can keep their luminescence stable.
It has become fashionable to build bright, white houses by filling the buildings themselves with shiny materials.
And the laboratory I raided did not deviate much from this modern interior decoration style.
[Everyone, stay still~ If you don’t resist, I’ll spare your lives.]
-Eww! This freaking monster!

-Ugh.
-Wrong. That thing has already completely distorted the surrounding mana flow, so now even teleportation… … .
-I’d rather die than get caught!
But after learning about all the criminal activities going on here, I somehow don’t find this fancy hallway cool.
After subduing all the resisting criminals. Inside the laboratory.
I searched the inside of the building to secure additional evidence as instructed by my superior.
[So that’s why the work was classified as something that could be summarily executed.]
However, the ‘bone experiments’ conducted at this lab were dirtier than expected.
Some time in the distant past.
The Magic Tower, which first conceived of this experiment, once pondered what tools would produce the best results when drawing a magic circle.
Some time later, the Magic Tower accidentally acquires the body of a highly intelligent magical creature…
That is, it is said that the wizard’s bones were revealed to be a good catalyst for drawing.
orphanage.
A homeless bum.
Homeless people, etc.
It was an old tower where it was difficult to kill a true wizard, so they just captured various weaklings with magical powers and extracted their bones.
But today, that vicious experiment has taken on a negative connotation.
[This technology was not created with the intention of being used like this.]
These days, there are many treatments that work quickly.
It is completely different from the old medicine that took several hours to fully recover even when sprayed on a severed tentacle.
It seemed that the researchers here had been harpooning the wizard into a tank and dissolving a potion that could restore his health in the water, and harvesting the bones that grew endlessly.
Thanks to this, you won’t have to worry about the magic circle catalyst even in this era of high prices.
Anyway, they built such a cruel bone chalk production factory for economic reasons.
[hmm.]
When I turned my head, I saw the laboratory filled with tanks of various sizes and the creatures trapped there.
The weakened Alpha Uri.
Everyone was lying with their bellies exposed like dead sharks.
Thud!
Empty, empty, empty!
There is no response even when tapping the tank with the tentacles.
[Did you also use sleeping pills?]
If this continues, the victims will suffer many aftereffects even after they are rescued… … .
[There’s nothing I can do.]
It’s unfortunate, but we can’t take responsibility for their subsequent lives.
This body is busy, you know.
I loaded the old-time worshippers I had captured from the lab onto the vehicle one by one and sent them off to my superior’s address as usual.
.
.
.
… From now on, this is the second thing to do.
After dealing with the illegal chalk factory.
I swam into this deep blue ocean.
-Gyaaaah!
-Ugh.
-Someone stop that!
This was a high-class residential area where many of the upper class who managed the planet lived.
But the rush was not worth it, as the scene was already a mess.
-What, water. Water is everything!
According to the information that was hastily received, this great disaster was committed by a single, frail wizard.
Cheeeeeeek───.
Immediately afterwards, a sound of something vaporizing is heard.
I turned my head in the direction of the sound. The light was so intense that I thought a star had fallen right before my eyes.
As we approached the light source, dry air, somewhat unfamiliar to marine life, readily greeted us.
Pyromancer.
That’s right.
The identity of the person who triggered this incident is none other than a heretic from the era who enjoys using fire-attribute magic.
However, it should not be looked down upon simply because it deviated from mainstream tastes.
He’s not just good at boiling water, he’s also good at vaporizing everything around him.
[and.]
At first glance, it seems like a strong man who can easily be heard as a great wizard is causing terrorism.
So, as soon as I found him, I got to work.
[Stop, stop!]
That ball of fire has already killed about 300 civilians just by entering this residential complex.
Moreover, if we leave it as it is, it is obvious that most of the city area will be blown away, so we must suppress it immediately.
[Stop casting magic immediately. From now on, the more you move, the more your punishment increases.]
But as soon as I started to warn, I heard a reply from the other side.
-You’re finally here, you dirty little bastard of a country!
That’s harsh.
– A machine that imitates people terribly, a hypocrite. A mass murderer! I never thought it would happen, but you really show up here so shamelessly. You piece of shit!
By the way, since he’s a strong wizard, his lung capacity is amazing.
It was a long, swearing speech with uneven breathing, and then it immediately rushed at me.
But I wasn’t embarrassed.
This position, known as the First Magic Master, is actually a job that performs the role of a military police officer.
But in a society like mine where there is overwhelming public power, those who commit crimes outright are usually of a poor mental state.
It’s common to get cursed at for no reason.
-■ Same ■■ bastard. You’ll be a ■■■ ■ ■ wiping the tentacles of your superiors all your life!
Okay.
Now I’ve gotten used to this kind of treatment.
[It seems that he is not a highly intelligent being since he can’t even curse in a novel way. How did he learn such powerful magic from the civilians?]
Mumble, mumble.
I sighed briefly.
I don’t know what he was so angry about after committing murder.
-On the topic of accomplices!
The terrorist pyromancer shouted something loudly over and over again.
-The ones who are ruining this planet are all of you who hold power, and now you’re trying to blame the innocent people for it?
[… .]
-You still think we’re fools. Do you really think we don’t know about the population control plan?
[… .]
-If it comes to that, I’ll kill you first. After I kill all the rich bastards in the city, I’ll definitely reduce the body of that damn chief of administration you serve to ashes!
I took advantage of the moment when he was angry and calmly began to evacuate the residents.
Use magic to detect heartbeats to quickly determine the location of citizens.
A long-snouted golem modeled after an underground creature, it swims between collapsed buildings and swallows any survivors it finds with its mechanical mouth.
Ssrrrrrr… sss!
Information entered my senses through my connections.
Several villagers were safely stored inside the relief golem’s belly.
The golem, having swallowed all the survivors, began to run away from this place according to its pre-established code of conduct.
In addition, the device is also equipped with a recovery drug secretion reaction for the injured.
There is now no need to worry about the safety of the rescued citizens.
[Hmm.]
One small concern, though, is that I’ve been getting a lot of complaints about the relief golem lately.
The interior is too hard, making the ride uncomfortable.
The drug secretion system that was painstakingly added also looks exactly like the way an animal secretes gastric juice after swallowing its prey, so it somehow feels bad.
If we get another round of harsh criticism today, we may have to get together with the engineers soon to come up with a plan for improvement.
[Oh my.]
But if you design a new golem… … .
Since it consumes a lot of taxes, doesn’t everyone hate it?
I always think about this, but I don’t know what the people of the world expect from our magic masters.
[Anyway, you don’t even know my consideration to try my best not to make a mistake~]
-What are you talking about!
Well, but either way, that’s not something we should worry about right now.
– Let’s see if those soldiers you brag about can withstand high temperatures, Master. Because of your lowly duties, you probably haven’t even stepped on the ice floes up there in at least a few decades, right?
After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, I focused on the current situation.
A pyromancer is approaching from the distant sea.
-The author, who cannot even remember the last time he saw the sky, dares to raise his head in front of the sun…
Cheeeeek.
Bright light.
And the pyromancer, whose body was covered in constantly generated steam, looked like a spirit from a story.
Even a high-end battle golem that costs a city-unit’s worth of money would melt away in an instant if it came into contact with his radius.
But we knew this would happen, so we came prepared with countermeasures.
-Ugh! Ugh… Aah?!
A positive signal that comes back quickly.
I just activated a new vacuum spell I created a while ago.
It is a small-scale technique that artificially empties the space where the material was, so it is extremely difficult to activate it to the extent of covering all the flames.
-Kahak… … . Ugh.
I was able to steal one of the small organs that the sorcerer was protecting with several layers of barriers.
I deleted the right lung of the pyromancer who was causing a ruckus.
And then, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was flustered and stopped drinking, he saw the end.
brain.
heart.
spinal cord.
Even in this age of advanced technology, there are still organs that are difficult to regenerate.
In short, if the sources of that magic – the mind – are attacked, there is no future for a sorcerer.
[Okay.]
The pyromancer who had been running wild like that stopped his actions with a disappointingly simple ease.
Nowadays, antimagic has also developed a lot, so there are many cases where if you use a technique that was originally cast by someone else, the spell will be returned.
[hmm.]
Even though we’ve been to countless battlefields, we’ve never been hit by such tactics.
Is it because of the difference in computational speed?
[I don’t know.]
Tilt.
I started cleaning up with some slight worries.
Except for the long form used to rescue civilians.
The collapsed city was quickly restored using approximately 28 golems brought to the scene.
But as I was doing the construction alone, other questions started to creep into my mind.
“I will definitely turn that damned chief executive’s body into ashes!”
Honestly, what on earth did the higher-ups do wrong?
Do planetary peoples tend to curse their leaders at every opportunity?
[I don’t know anymore.]
It’s been a long time since one nation dominated the entire waters of this planet.
So, as citizens, we have no other choice, so it is natural that we may feel dissatisfied at times… … .
Still, isn’t this enough to be satisfactory and live with?
■▒ He’s a pretty good leader at that level.
[You don’t even know how hard we’re trying to protect this planet. Anyway, everyone’s full.]
I went about my work muttering to myself.
Clank, clank, clank.
All I could hear around me was the inorganic noise the golems were making, but it was okay.
It’s almost time to leave work.
