“Alerting perverts …… Activate defense mechanism.”
“No …… This was a sudden and unexpected event, which is why I couldn’t get dressed in time, and I’m not a pervert or anything!”
“Warning. Fifteen seconds until the arrival of defense equipment.”
It wasn’t that I had any strange intentions, but the fact was that I had hugged the girl in the nude.
I tried to make excuses and apologize for a while, but the girl kept counting down her defense equipment and such, and she wouldn’t listen at all.
“Five seconds to arrival.”
“Alex! Something’s coming! It’s fast and it’s huge!”
Just as the girl and Ellie had said, a great mass of iron came with a loud sound from the northeast.
It was something like a carriage made three times bigger and covered entirely with iron instead of a canopy …… something like that.
But it was not pulled by a horse, so it was not clear how it was moving, and a large cylinder is on it instead of a driver’s seat.
“The defense equipment arrived. Thereafter, activity will be suspended to conserve magic power consumption. All other functions except life support will cease.”
The mysterious iron carriage(?) appears, and the girl says something I don’t really understand …… and she collapsed on the spot!?
I rushed to the girl and held her in my arms…
At any rate, she was breathing, but why did she suddenly fall asleep?
I hear Sakura yell and I jump backwards, and a large white light passes in front of me.
The light pierced through the golem, which remained motionless at my words, and flew quite far away.
“T-That was close. Thank you, Sakura.”
“Never mind that, Lord Alex. What should we do with it? It can’t fire in rapid succession, but it seems to be an even more powerful attack than the red light we saw earlier.”
Now that I look at it, the golem that had been pierced by the light earlier had disappeared.
Even if I tried to escape, I would not be able to do so, judging from what I had just seen.
Thinking that she had to stop this somehow …… Ellie unleashed her magic.
However, just like the golem and the girl earlier, the magic was blocked.
In front of the iron carriage, I created a thicker stone wall in exchange of a lower height.
Then, the iron carriage backed up a little …… and charged with momentum!
The wall splintered around it, but it didn’t shatter!
As the stone wall blocked the front and back of the iron carriage, it was unable to break the wall or change direction, and it was jittering …… and then the large cylinder started glowing white?
At the end of the cylinder…
“Monica! …… [Stone Wall]!”
A wall of stone was created at Monica’s feet, carrying Monica to a position higher than the white light and …… she managed to avoid it.
Although it emitted white light several times after that, we all fled the moment the cylinder was pointed at them, so no one was damaged.
…… The power was tremendous, but it was fortunate that it could not be fired in rapid succession and that it required to accumulate before firing.
However, the other remaining golem was hit by a stray bullet(?) and disappeared.
“Hmm? That loud noise from the iron carriage has stopped.”
“I don’t feel the magic power anymore too …… Did it run out of magic power?”
“It’s such a large size and such a high firepower attack, after all. If it is powered by magic, it is not surprising that it would run out of magic power as humans say.”
Ellie and Monica determined that it was running out of magic power.
“Nina. Can you mine this ……?”
“Of course. I’m going to go destroy it while it’s not attacking us!”
Just as she did when she defeated the golem in the past, Nina used her mining skills to destroy the iron carriage.
“Big bro. This sparkling stone, I think it is the nucleus of this thing.”
“Okay. Leave the rest to me! [Holy Cross]!”
I destroyed the large nucleus that was inside the exterior that Nina had destroyed for me.
Just like when we defeated the golem, this should be fine.
“Alright. Now that we’ve eliminated the threat, we’ll just have to wait until this girl recovers and …… Huh? She’s …… not breathing!?”
Was it bad that I run around with her in my arms all the time?
But I couldn’t just leave her there in that situation …… Rather than that, healing magic!
…… No use, huh. I can’t use resuscitation magic …… A-Artificial Breathing!
“Master. Rather than kissing such a stranger, please do it to me instead ……”
“No! She’s not breathing!”
“What!? We have to do something! Something, something …… Um, how about letting her drink this!”
Monica handed the girl a small bottle that she had taken from somewhere, and I gave it to the girl to give her a drink…
“…… Magic power was restored. Because of the forced termination last time, some data was corrupted. Restoration …… Failed. Resetting …… Succeeded except for some parts. Rebooting.”
She woke up but said something incomprehensible.
“As expected of Master. She came back to life.”
“…… What was in that bottle?”
“I’m sorry. I quickly thought of something medicinal, so I gave the thing that Master gave me inside me.”
“…… What kind of thing did make her drink!”
“I-I was thinking of having Miss Meilin make a doll for me when I get a chance.”
The girl woke up, so it’s a good thing that she woke up, but …… Why with such a thing?
At any rate, is she going to be okay?
