Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 509

 

Extreme



High-speed ship powered by non-magic power


It was a ship that was moving at quite a speed.


Still, it was a long journey that took 15 days.



"Special Knight Shiro."



A knight calls my name and title


He piloted the high-speed boat and handed me a cloak.



"It reminds me of black wax, doesn’t it?"


"Yes, it has been decided that Special Knights will wear this from now on."


"Is it so"



A cloak for Wince was also prepared.


Among the white clothes of the temple knights, we were the only ones in black and stood out very much.



"It also has the meaning of being a knight with a special position. It’s easy to understand, right?"



Yukikaze was among the knights who greeted the ship.


I'm sorry but it was too small for me to notice.



"I'll tell you everything before nightfall, so please come to the conference room right away. Herman, please guide him."


"Understood"



Yukikaze seems to be quite busy.


She disappeared somewhere while giving instructions to those around her.




――――――――――――




"Please wait."



A knight called Herman leads me to a large room.


Then I was served tea and said, [Please wait], and left.


The people in the conference room right now are me, Wince, Sedona, and Yukikaze.



"How do you feel about using the latest Eckezachs?"


"I know it's the latest one, but..."


"I felt like it was much smaller than the previous model."



My words are followed by Wince.



"You see... I wanted it to be bigger."


"If we make it bigger, it will be a burden on materials, time, and operation, so there is no other choice. These are the items we used for this month's operation."



A piece of paper as big as my face is filled with letters.



"…All Eckezachs consumption on the way here?"


"That’s the amount consumed by just this one ship."



O-oh


The empire is bleeding



"However, it is expected to become less from now on."


"Is it because you can already see the goal?"


"Yes, we have built the ship with safety margins in mind, so we can cut down on waste from here on out."


"Father, this is the forecast for future operating costs."



When I looked at the paper I was given, the consumption suddenly decreased.



"The cost of producing fuel is also reasonable."


"If we could catch fish like we do around the continent, we would be able to save money on food."



I'm kind of sorry


I can't believe the two of them were worrying about my thoughts while I was resting.



"So, did you find out anything about Tuega?"


"Haven't you learned much?"


"But since Father came, we are planning to conduct an internal investigation soon."



Apparently, they found a crack that could be penetrated.


From there, 50 knights, me, Sedona, and Wince plan to investigate.



-I will accompany you to the internal investigation-



A silver sphere suddenly appears in the conference room.


Not Ginkei


There's a pattern on it that Ginkei doesn't have.



"Ah, Shiro, let me introduce you. This is Ekezachs Harkon Nosaga's central terminal..."


-I am Ginkei XXIV-



I see


Was it mass-produced in consideration of the lag that would occur before communication in the continent's Ginkei?



"Can you trust it?"


"It's okay, it's a child with good sense and morals that can't be compared to Ginkei."



I see


If Sedona says so, then it's probably okay.



-How little trust do you have in the original?-


"Because?"


"He's crazy enough to get excited by peeking into Father's affair with me, you know?"


-You're the worst, original-



By the way, when that was discovered, it was discovered that that bastard had many other criminal records.


When I found out that Wince's used 〇△※ was being sold for 20 gold coins, I seriously felt the urge to kill him.


Moreover, he is making a considerable profit from it and saving it for himself, so he is a convinced criminal.



"But I might have wanted Father’s used pillow..."


"Sedona-san?"


"I didn't say anything."



What do you do with that used pillow?


You don't want a pillow that smells like man's sweat.



-I see, so the original is worthy for a future enemy-


"""It's not wrong!"""



After that


The day before departure, Ginkei XXIV devised a feature that allows it to refuse to share information with the original.


Wonderful


You are a very reliable ally
