Chapter 1132 – Union Atlasia!

000

You shouldn’t touch things you don’t know well.

This is especially true if the target is a precision instrument.

Of course, the reason is that you shouldn’t break it, but the incorrect use of the item can also cause problems with the user’s safety.

People will understand that I am saying this for you.

So, I’ll say it again.

You shouldn’t touch things you don’t know well.

[Okay, then let’s shout! ‘Union Atlasia!’!]

As Cleon really thought so, he was absentmindedly listening to the crazy feast of light and sound flowing before his eyes.

The ‘woman’ in front of me is saying something incomprehensible… No, to be precise.

The ‘artificial spirit’ of this machine they are riding.

She introduced herself as Atlasia, and her voice was so tense that he was overwhelmed, confusing Cleon’s head.

Now, then, what on earth is this artificial spirit?

Let’s go back in time a little and look at the disaster that struck Cleon and Fleur.

001

When Cleon and Fleur are having trouble with each other’s outfits, and then thinking about how to use the machine they are riding.

As expected, Fleur had more knowledge about machines than Cleon, so Fleur first looked at the buttons in front of her one by one.

＂If this is a control stick, this is the object that activates the armament… Uhm, then this is… ＂

Cleon will be waiting patiently while looking at Fleur, who can speak fluently without stuttering when it comes to machines.

Fleur’s appearance was similar to that of Lila when she touched the magic tool, so if Cleon even accidentally touched her, Lila would get angry.

Of course, it was difficult to imagine Fleur showing as much anger as Lila, but it would still be wise to wait for an expert’s judgment.

However, regardless of Cleon’s will. There were unstoppable girls in his hands.

[Something is complicated. After all, the object must be simple like a ‘sword’ or a ‘spear’.]

[I agree~ We just have to hold it in our hand and swing it, but where on earth do we have to press this object to swing our arm once?]

They are strangely competitive with this machine.

Is there a sense of rivalry in the ‘weaponry’ part?

Of course, Cleon wouldn’t have minded if he just complained like that.

The next moment, a magic hand that seemed to be made simply of lines and dots popped out from Cleon’s magic sword.

Then, she was close by – and most noticeable.

I had to ‘firmly’ press the big red button with two circles drawn on it.

＂Galatea!?＂

＂Hi!?＂

At that sight, Cleon would let out a voice of astonishment.

Fleur, who had been relaxed, was so surprised by the sudden shout that came from behind that she flinched her shoulders.

＂What are those cute arms just now!?＂

[Hehe]

When Cleon expresses his honest sentiment without realizing it, Galatea sounds embarrassed and pretends to scratch her head with her outstretched arm.

Of course, because her body was still a sword, her hands were rubbing the sword body.

＂… Not! What are you doing?!”

There, Cleon was able to come to her senses and respond appropriately to her actions.

[No, I think I’m hesitating. Wouldn’t it be better to hurry?]

＂That’s right, but in a situation where you don’t know what happens when you press-＂

It was the moment after Cleon had said that.

A collection of machines spread out before Cleon’s eyes.

To be more precise, from what appears to be a ‘control stick’ where the ‘buttons’ Galatea presses, blue light slowly spreads out and takes over her surroundings.

When the machines started to glow, at the same time, the sound of wind blowing from somewhere and the sound of gears rotating could be heard.

＂Have you activated?＂

It was right after Cleon looked at the situation and said that.

A clattering sound was heard, and the walls on both sides of Cleon opened, and machine-made lines stretched out from there and grabbed Galatea and Caliburn as if they were tied.

[W-what is this?]

[Magic power~~]

Galatea is embarrassed, and Caliban does as he is told.

And then, another person’s voice was heard.

[Check the magic attribute source available for power. I will collect magical power from the target.]

Cleon will remember the story Oldburn told.

Apparently, in order to move this machine, you need two artifacts with magical power.

“I’m sorry, both of you. Please be patient.”

[I feel bad~!]

[I’m feeling drained…]

At Cleon’s request, the two swords were not to resist even though they felt physiological discomfort or exhaustion.

In any case, as magical power flows along the line hanging from the sword, the lights seen from the surrounding machines will become stronger.

“I think the button Galatea pressed was the power button…!”

“Yeah, it seems like that… So, can I move now?”

“No, not yet… I can’t see the outside of the machine properly, so I think the camera isn’t moving.”

＂Camera…?＂

It seemed like he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember what it meant, so Cleon just tilted his head.

Fleur probably missed her choice of words and tried to explain the camera as is.

The next moment, a blue light came on in the ‘glass’ wall in front of the two –

A unique pattern of four squares coming together to form a square slowly appeared and disappeared on the blue screen.

And-

What appeared on the blue screen where the pattern had disappeared was a woman who looked like a human no matter where she looked.

A woman with long pink hair, and although her eyes are closed, purple patterns that resemble tears are shining around her eyes.

What they were wearing was clothing made of tight-fitting material, similar to what Cleon and Fleur are currently wearing.

＂This is…?＂

Cleon was about to ask Fleur a question about her, but before she could answer, it was her side beyond the screen that opened her mouth first.

[After a long battle to protect the world, the hero fell into a deep sleep and rested.]

＂Ha?＂

Cleon reacted that way without realizing it.

The reason is, the woman’s voice on the screen is more than I thought. What should I say-

Because it was ‘cute’.

Should I say that it is a voice that is different from the voice of ordinary people and is familiar with the acting tone of a minstrel or clown?

It’s as if he received professional training to sound like that.

It was a bit absurd to hear such a voice say something about a ‘hero’ and a ‘fight to protect the world’.

＂Hey, we have this machine…＂

[But once again, great darkness and evil came to the world, and the suffering people fell into grief and began to look for warriors once again.]

Cleon tried to ask her something, but her words continued as if she was reading a predetermined script, interrupting Cleon’s question.

“Oh, maybe it’s a recorded voice…”

And Fleur would speak hesitantly to Cleon.

In other words, it’s just a voice being transmitted through a one-way street, but it’s not something you can talk to.

Either way, Cleon frowns at me for not listening to this side.

[So, now is the time to rise again, warrior! Open your eyes! The world needs your power!!]

When she suddenly opened her eyes, golden eyes that looked like gears, hidden behind her eyelids, appeared.

Although she was a little grotesque, it seemed to go well with her unique youthful and mysterious appearance, as if she had been intentionally created as a pretty girl.

However, the voice suddenly became louder and louder, so both Cleon and Fleur had no choice but to cover their ears.

And.

In front of the two people, the girl opens her eyes and raises her arms

Above the girl’s head, something resembling a pattern appeared.

Cleon couldn’t read what it said.

Probably a type of ancient language.

I could have read it if I had Lila-

＂… It says to shout.＂

＂Shout…?＂

Here, there was Fleur, who had the knowledge to read ancient languages, although not as much as Lila.

“Yes. It’s called ‘Union Atlasia’…”

＂Union… What?＂

Cleon would be perplexed by the choice of words that he couldn’t understand even after hearing the explanation.

＂…＂

＂…＂

And, there was an awkward silence between the two.

What is she who suddenly appears, and what does the word ‘Union Atlasia’ mean?

Everything was full of questions, so even though my mind understood that it was not the time to delay like this, my body did not move willingly.

[Ah, are you the type of person who is shy about things like this?]

Then, as if she couldn’t wait for those two people any longer, the girl on the screen with her hands raised spoke to me.

“… I don’t think it’s a recorded voice?”

＂Well, so…?＂

[Ah, sorry. I mentioned earlier that there was a ‘rule’ that you had to read it from the beginning without stopping.]

She’ll scratch her head and laugh hehe’

[Ah, I am the A.I. Belonging to the ‘Great Monster Battle Weapon – Predator Gear Atlasia’ that you are riding. It is called ‘Atra’.]

I am grateful that she is still introducing herself, but unfortunately for Cleon, more than half of what she said was difficult to understand.

What is it, is it a great monster’s decisive battle weapon, and what is ‘AI’?

“AI refers to an artificial spirit…”

Fleur gave me a tip.

Thank you, Fleur.

“Ah, Mr. Atra. We have this weapon… ‘Atlasia’…? You have to move and defeat the huge monster…”

Fleur then conveyed their business to the artificial spirit Atra, and Atra nodded with a knowing smile.

[That’s right. Because I have to film ‘The Final Battle with Monsters’, which is broadcast every Sunday at 9 am. I don’t know what season of pilot you are, but you must follow the rules of the show.]

＂Bar, broadcast…? Filming? Show? “

“Well, I think there’s some misunderstanding…”

[Oh, by any chance you didn’t receive any explanation? I can’t help it~]

And she was telling it to Cleon and Fleur.

Even in the original world, the development of biotechnology and mechanical engineering reached its peak.

Two projects were carried out with the intention of creating entertainment that could be enjoyed using the two technologies.

The first is to create a giant bipedal weapon, which has been a symbol of mankind’s long-standing dream and romance.

And the second was to modify living creatures to create huge monsters.

The two projects seemed unrelated at first glance, but these were not people who would stop at simply making such a good product.

If there is a ‘strong spear and shield’, it is human’s mission to want to collide with each other, so naturally people’s interest is who will win if a ‘giant robot’ and a ‘giant monster’ collide?

In a way, this plan started from something similar to a child’s simple question.

That was to produce a show where monsters and robots collide.

[Well, this machine you’re riding on is an ‘equipment’ used in shows to make people happy. According to the setting, it is a gigantic weapon that sealed ancient monsters into single bodies. It’s called ‘Atlasia’. Did you understand?]

An artificial spirit who ends his sentence as if he wants to end the explanation briefly.

[So, it is necessary to shout the symbolic line that announces the start of the show. That is ‘Union Atlasia’. Don’t ask what it means, it’s a slogan made up with a plausible tone.]

And she will once again spread her wide hands and make a request to her companions.

[Okay, then let’s shout! ‘Union Atlasia!’!]

Now, let’s go back to the first part of this episode.

Looking at her like that, Cleon couldn’t help but shout out the lines she put into her mouth.

It’s not that tacky and embarrassing…

“We’re not going for a show. “I’m going to fight a real monster with the determination to die.”

[… To? What is that.]

Cleon will talk to her.

“This is not the primordial world. Succession world magazine. There’s no one to watch the show. So what we need now is not such ridiculous showmanship, but a way to move this machine.”

When Fleur nods her head as if she strongly agrees with Cleon’s words.

[Aha… I understand now.]

And, after hearing the two people’s words, the artificial spirit nodded as if it understood.

At her reaction, Cleon let out a sigh of relief as if he was glad-

[That is, so. The show’s final episode is today! This is recording the production for the final episode!]

＂ How could that be possible? ＂

In the end, Cleon needed to explain to her about her original world and the inherited world.

After everything was explained, her expression was a sight to behold.

Her mouth was wide open, so embarrassed that only the whites of her eyes were visible.

She shouted like this.

[Wha, wha… What are you saying!?]
