Chapter 1133 – Union Atlasia!!

000

Atlasia, the brave warrior.

A decisive battle weapon for anti-monsters developed by ‘Nicola’, the world’s leading robotics company.

It is a huge weapon that moves using the amplification of magical power as a power source, which occurs when the two magic core engines and the hearts of the two pilots reach maximum resonance.

Total height approximately 22.5 m. Body weight 25t.

It is the single weapon that boasts the highest output, including all the weapons that mankind has developed so far.

A bipedal combat robot, a being created with humanity’s dream in mind.

The pure white atlanium alloy cannot be scratched by mankind’s conventional weapons.

It has excellent durability to block the high-temperature breath, freezing wind, and acid solution emitted by monsters.

The appearance, which gives a huge yet sleek impression, as if modeled after a pure white knight, gives the viewer a ‘feel of intimidation’ to the enemy and a ‘sense of security’ to the allies.

The main weapon is the ‘Atlasia Sword’.

Likewise, it is a huge long sword made of atlanium alloy.

With this, you can cut through the scales and skin of monsters like butter.

The special move is ‘Atlasia Giga Impact’.

It is an attack that focuses all the remaining magical energy in the Atlasia Sword and cuts the enemy to pieces with a powerful slash.

And the ultimate plastic assembly model that reproduces Atlasia in 1/60 scale is scheduled for release!

When the output is maximized, the visor opens, and there is also a gimmick in which the two cameras emit blue light!

With this, you too! Union Atlasia!

[Well, I see. I understand. So… While I was asleep, the world was destroyed once, and a new world began… You are the humans of that new world…?]

In the end, after listening to Fleur and Cleon’s explanation and understanding the situation, she put her hand on her forehead and tried to accept the present while sweating so much that her initial pace was gone. It seemed like he was doing it.

Do artificial spirits also sweat? The same question arose for a moment, but since it was not the right time to ask such a question, Cleon talked about something else instead.

“Yes. I don’t understand half the words you said, but this world is very different from the world you knew.”

[Uh, so… So you’re saying there are no sponsors and no audience to watch the show…? Then, the meaning of Atra’s existence is…]

She looked despairing, as if Cleon’s words had followed her.

And, as the light from the surrounding machines gradually diminished and the screen she was floating on also became mixed with crackling noise, Cleon spoke to her in confusion.

“Now, wait a minute! But according to what you said, anyway, this weapon itself was made to fight giant monsters, right? That’s enough! We have a demon that needs to be defeated!”

Yes.

Regardless of what purpose this machine or weapon was born for and how it was used, according to her, this weapon has truly fought and won against giant monsters.

If so, Cleon knew well that now was the time when that power was needed.

“Well, as Cleon said, I hope you’ll lend us your strength. Please, Atra…”

When Fleur spoke to her as if pleading, Atra responded with a weak look in her eyes.

Okay, I think this can be done with just a little more push.

Cleon thought that way for a while.

[… Boo, it’s impossible…]

“… Eh?”

Cleon must be a little heated by the words that came out of Atra.

“Are you still saying that? What needs to be done doesn’t change-“

[Bah, it’s changing! And that’s a lot!]

And Atra cut Cleon’s words and spat them out as if screaming.

Due to that spirit, when Cleon closed his mouth for a moment, the sentences that came out of Atra’s mouth made Cleon’s head hurt even more.

[Show, a show is a show! So to speak, wrestling…! A scripted fight where the winner or loser is already decided! Let’s fight like this today, exchange sums, and have a winning scenario like this…! It is decided to some extent!]

In other words, a story of weaving and playing.

Because the result was predetermined, we were able to win.

[In the first place, you just equip armament tailored to the opponent’s monster! The operation time is as short as 3 minutes! What that means is that if you don’t defeat the enemy within 3 minutes, Atlasia will just become scrap metal!]

Atra’s words were almost panicked, but the information he heard was very important.

Certainly, it may be natural to be scared of fighting if you cannot be sure of victory in such difficult conditions.

[Well, now that I think about it while talking with you… The show starring Atlasia was a fairly long-running program, but it eventually became difficult to meet the demands of viewers who wanted more extreme developments, and it was eventually locked in a black box. The device got caught, and he was thrown into the warehouse…]

Did something come to mind, a trauma that shouldn’t be touched?

She began to mumble and lament her situation.

[Ha, haha… That’s right. We are a stage set created to recreate a fight between a monster and a giant robot. In the end, it was never used in a real fight… Me and Atlasia were ‘fake’ after all…]

Hearing the gloomy voice that followed, even Cleon and Fleur felt like their shoulders were becoming heavy.

“Uh, what should I do, Cleon…”

“That’s right… If this guy doesn’t lend us his strength, it seems impossible for us to get out of here… More than that, the biggest problem is that the biggest possibility of stopping Tiamat is blocked.”

As Cleon said.

Without knowing how this machine worked, it was doubtful whether Fleur and Cleon would be able to return to where their original comrades were.

The only thing that surrounds me is the wall of machines and the screen in front of me.

The two couldn’t even tell where on the continent they were right now.

If I don’t somehow get her cooperation and figure out how to run this machine.

Cleon thought so, cleared his throat, and spoke to her.

“… Then, so far, not even once. Does this mean that this weapon called Atlasia has never fought of its own will?”

[That’s right… The show has always portrayed human dramas with the theme of friendship, effort, victory, and love, but that’s because that sells…]

“Good! Now it’s time to achieve real victory!”

[Were you listening to what I was saying!? Well, that means that’s impossible!]

In response to Cleon’s words, Arta denies even that possibility.

Cleon’s self-evaluation was quite low, and several girls with similar complexes came to mind.

But.

They all had their own strengths, even if they did not know it.

“So obviously, you too-“

It must have been the moment when Cleon caught his breath by saying something plausible and tried to boil Atra with his unique speaking skills.

[That’s what I was muttering from earlier! If you have time to say that, move your body and head!]

A familiar voice was heard from beyond the screen where Atra was located.

No, to be precise, it’s a voice that only Cleon is familiar with.

Before the question ‘Why?’ Could even pass through Cleon’s head, a brown-skinned arm stretched out from the corner of the screen.

What appeared there was Galatea in her usual appearance – that is, with her emerald hair and sparkling violet eyes.

She appeared in the form of an alluring woman and pushed Atra into her arms, forcing her into a corner against her will.

“Go, Galatea!? What are you doing there? And how…”

Naturally, Cleon couldn’t help but look surprised as the woman who appeared when her magic sword took on a humanoid appearance appeared within the screen of her machine.

Of course, Fleur, who was watching the scene, did the same.

As expected, the person who was most surprised was Atra, who dodged to the side, almost collapsing at her appearance.

[Uh, what happened!? This is my space…!]

[I don’t know if it’s your space or blackmail. Right now, this artifact is moving using the magic power of me and Caliburn. Our soul is based on magic power, so if magic power is connected, it can interfere.]

“Wow, indeed…! That’s it! As expected, the magic sword and holy sword are amazing!”

For some reason, Fleur got excited by Galatea’s explanation.

[Anyway, you. I can’t help but keep listening to it. I can’t entrust my precious Cleon to a guy like you. Therefore, from now on, I will control this aircraft instead!]

[Yes, yes!?]

Due to Galatea’s recklessness, Atra had no choice but to scream in shock.

[Now, wait! It’s not something a beginner can move around like that!]

[What are you talking about? You said something about the script earlier. Anyway, Cleon! I now take control of this machine!]

Galatea continues to push Atra’s face into the corner of the screen with her hand.

Instead of the blue light that was disappearing from the surrounding machines, a purple light symbolizing Galatea’s magic filled the surroundings instead.

“… Okay, whatever it is. As long as you can move, it’ll be fine…!”

Cleon might have been taken aback by this ridiculous situation at first, but it didn’t matter as long as he could move the machine.

“Galatea! Then, first, move this machine!”

[Oh, before that. You have to shout the passkey to start the car.]

“Encryption key…?”

Is there such a thing? Cleon tilted his head.

[Union Atlasia…]

In the end, Atra, who was crushed into a corner by Galatea, muttered.

[Yes, that. That’s the encryption key. I guess this machine starts moving with that. Ah, we have to shout together in unison.]

“I guess that wasn’t the reason your grandfather said you should ride with like-minded people, right?”

“… No way.”

Perhaps Oldburn had only read about this machine in literature, so he may have misunderstood the pilots.

“Anyway, okay. It’s a little embarrassing, but I can just shout, right?”

“Well, I’m ready.”

Cleon and Fleur both take a deep breath to relax.

And, when Cleon naturally says ‘one, two’.

“Union Atlasia!”

“Yu, Union Atlasia…!”

Fleur, with a slight hesitation, raised her rarely loud voice.

When the two people’s shameful voices echo in the cockpit for a moment-

“…”

Nothing happened.

[What, why isn’t this moving? That old man, didn’t you do the maintenance properly?]

[Well, that’s not it… My voice is small…]

“Ha!?”

What a bother…!

Cleon almost lost his temper for a moment, but he held it back.

“… Fleur. Is it possible?”

“Uh, uhm… Heh, it might be hard…”

So-called ‘people who don’t stand up in front of people’ like Fleur need courage to speak out loud.

Besides, my throat wasn’t used to making that kind of voice, so I couldn’t easily increase my voice volume.

“… B-but. I have to do it…! Ah, I understand!”

However, if Fleur also strengthens her resolve and nods, Cleon will get lucky once again.

One, two…!

“Union Atlasia!!”

“Yu, Union Atlasia~!”

[No, louder…]

Damn it, one, two!

“Union Atlasia!!!”

“Union, Atlasia~~!”

[Just a little louder…!]

“Union Atlasia!!!!”

“Union, Atlasia~~~!”

[One last time!]

“Hey!”

“Uni… Eh!?

[Cleon!]

Atra seems to be urging them on, Cleon almost swears for a moment, and Fleur is surprised by Cleon.

And, Galatea stops Cleon.

Finally, this time Cleon clenched his fists, strained his stomach, and raised his voice with all his might.

“Union Atlasiaaaaa!!!”

“Union Atlasia!”

Probably, Cleon and Fleur’s slogan rang out at maximum volume.

Then, the screen sparkled intensely-

[Wow, it’s dazzling…!]

[It came… It came, it came, it came!! Grab the lever in front of you!]

Galatea looks dazzling, and Atra suddenly stands up after being crushed next to Galatea.

At her sudden voice, Cleon and Fleur unconsciously placed their hands on the lever in front of them and grabbed it.

When Atra saw that, her eyes twinkled as if she was hypnotized.

[Atlasia! Wake up!]

Raising her right arm towards the sky with her index finger pinned, she herself was shouting something loudly.

Then it seemed like it was a signal.

Coo coo coo… With a sound, the seat where the two people were sitting shook, and other images began to appear on the machines surrounding them and the glass wall blocking the front.

“This is…!”

What I could see there was a rather large warehouse-like space.

No, would it be better to say it is a hangar?

There were machines scattered around that Cleon couldn’t understand, and they didn’t look neat.

However, the atmosphere seems a bit similar to the regressor’s lab that was there before.

In other words, there is no doubt that this is a facility where Oldburn was secretly researching something.

Maybe, there’s also something about Adam Kadmon here.

And then.

A strange thing happened.

[Dun du dun- da, da… Dun du dun- da, da…]

It’s unfamiliar to Cleon, but it feels like he’s heard it somewhere recently-

Yes, when the tearing-sounding instrument that the adamantite golem girl from Asteris started to play, Atra muttered as if she was carving a rhythm with her mouth.

The playing of the instruments gradually grows louder, and a completely new type of music begins to resonate for Cleon and Fleur.

[Courage, love, and hope. To protect peace from the powerful enemy ‘monster’ that threatens humanity. The brave warrior Atlasia continues to fight today!]

Going one step further, Arta recites a somewhat creepy and strange narration.

Her eccentricities did not end there.

[See people’s tears of sadness♪ Feel the heat of the burning earth♪ Become a sword to protect peace♪]

As an incomprehensible song began to flow from her mouth, a new change occurred in Atlasia’s cockpit.

Immediately, the seats of Cleon and Fleur, which were divided into upper and lower seats in a double-seat style, move with a ‘clunk’.

So that the distance is much closer than before.

“Now, wait a minute…!”

Additionally, since the lever Fleur was holding moves forward, her body will naturally lean forward.

As a result, the line from her hips to her back was revealed to Cleon’s eyes, and she sat in a posture as if she was riding a horse.

… No, to be more precise.

This is a posture that women often took, lying face down in front of Cleon on the bed.

Moreover, as the seat got closer, her butt ended up between Cleon’s legs, so they weren’t pressed against each other, but…

If you look at it from the side, it looks quite embarrassing.

“Is this what a like-minded man and woman should ride? What happened, Atra!”

[Break up! A strike of the soul~! Love is the magic that saves everyone~!]

“What on earth is that annoying song? Galatea… Explain…!”

Cleon gave up listening to Atra’s explanation and spoke to Galatea, who was looking at Atra as if she were some kind of pitiful person.

Then Galatea will also speak with her sigh.

[So… I understand. The song Atra is singing now is the theme song used in a show from the primordial era called ‘Atlasia, the Magical Hero’…]

“Not that…! This seat, or anything that moves the machine!”

[Ah. I guess the female pilot was a character sold for her sexiness. And if she sticks to her like that, even if she doesn’t like it, her magic power tuning will increase.]

Galatea shrugs her shoulders as if it’s not funny.

Cleon must be dissatisfied with his close relationship with Fleur.

“Hey, Cleon. If I get in your way too much…”

“It’s not like that, but…!”

Honestly, since she’s wearing a tight-fitting suit, it’s inevitable that people will look at her even if she doesn’t like it.

Galatea narrowed her eyes and looked at Cleon, who was embarrassed, and then she said, ‘Hmm!’ And then focused her attention.

[You don’t need to worry so much about the operation. All the levers and buttons there are just decorations. It is a method of controlling Cleon and Fleur by reading their thoughts.]

“Thank goodness…”

[Ah, but don’t pull the lever above your head. Because it seems to be for emergency use.]

When Galatea said that, Cleon slightly raised his head.

Then, there was one more lever I was concerned about, as if it had ‘Pulled it’ written on it.

“You can’t pull this… I understand.”

Cleon speaks as if he understands Galatea’s warning.

“Um, are there any precautions for me?”

Fleur asks if there’s something she shouldn’t touch.

[Don’t rub your butt against the lever on Cleon’s thigh.]

“I won’t do it!”

Fleur looked like she was crying in response.

[Anyway, even though it took some time, I think I’m ready with this. We will transfer to the coordinates where Tiamat was, so hold on tight!]

After saying that, Galatea sent Atlasia away without any prior notice, such as a countdown.

At that point, Cleon would think.

‘Isn’t this transmission the one that uses the most magic attribute?’

Same, realistic thoughts.

The anxious song still echoing and Fleur’s posture filled her head.

With worry and worry, the warrior Atlasia spread her huge wings and flew up.
