Chapter 222 – 222. The First Reunion of the Other World Summoner (7)

– One –

“Sister Margarita, are they all out of the danger zone now?”

“Wait… Yes, it’s all gone.”

All nine people were seated around a round table.

Their expressions were generally bright.

It was because he greeted the envoys of the imperial faction without incident and safely sent them out of the unexplored land.

If a problem arises later, they will not be held liable.

“By the way, Ada-sama. Yesterday’s drinking party was a hit. The smoke, uh huh…”

“Hehe. Monohorn led me well, so thanks to that, I was easily immersed in it.”

If you saw them looking at each other and smiling, Slammer would feel like he had a mace stuck in the back of his head.

“Huh~ But that slammer oppa~ Because of Monohorn and Ada unnie, he’s got a very, very, very disturbed expression~?”

“It’s not like I said anything wrong. It’s not like Ada-sama said something she didn’t mean.”

“Well, Monohorn, if you hadn’t warned me like that, I’d have been used and abandoned by the fucking bastards~?”

“Yes. It must have been.”

Mono Horn stiffens her expression and nods her head.

He had no shame in the fact that he cheated the slammer or encouraged him to accept the deal.

“It’s a bit regretful that he encouraged acting so that he couldn’t reject our offer, but he and we both suggested a direction that would benefit everyone. Can be prevented, and we can relieve the burden of monitoring the imperial faction at least once.”

“Then~♡ Our Monohorn is smart~♡”

Due to the nature of Slammer, which prioritizes survival while valuing the practical side, Monohorn could be sure that he would have accepted his proposal even if he said it openly.

However, the reason for acting like this was to block any possible betrayal.

“I made the choice because my eyes were blinded, and since a devout believer personally swore an oath to the goddess, I will keep my word unless I’m determined to die and be turned away by the goddess.”

“It will be so, sister. According to Margarita’s reading, she would never be the person who would betray the goddess.”

“You have to believe that.”

They looked at each other and laughed.

It’s because during the last two days of staying together, Slammer, who had been treating them cautiously while making fun of them, didn’t look so disliked.

“I want Mr. Hunchback to be happy too!”

“I hope so, maman.”

When Mono Horn answered her ur mama, Ada, who was by her side, gave her a gentle pat on the back.

Benison, who was watching her sneakily, also stroked her back.

Ur Mama nodded her head as if she was in a good mood and smiled broadly.

“Ah, it’s such a pity that I’m the only one watching this.”

Margarita smiles and opens her mouth.

Everyone in her looks back at her.

“Why? Anything interesting, Margarita?”

“Seriously, you should have seen Demosh-nee too. There’s a hook. You’re constantly searching through your luggage and struggling to find the bomb magic tools we stole, right? He kept asking Slammer if he didn’t see the orb in his luggage, and he was pale. Ah, Right now I’m rummaging through the secret compartments of the weapons. Seeing the disappearance of the memorizations collected by Estrus-sister and Monohorn, I’m completely contemplative. How can I…”

“Oh my gosh, that’s really unfortunate. Still, I think it should have been a clear warning. You’re going to cut off your head if you’re clumsy, oh my God! Excuse me. You should have known that you hurt your nose.”

They look at each other and smile coldly.

The magic tools they found were neatly placed in the middle of the round table.

Less than ten items were placed on the table, including the bomb magic tool Hooch had hidden and various magic tools that served as accessories that Margarita had not told her use for.

“So, Margarita. Now that everyone is gathered, can you tell me what they are for, except for the bomb magic tools?”

“Yes, it should.”

They had a brief meeting right after Hooch and Slammer finished their baths.

However, since not everyone could gather at that time, Margarita did not reveal the identity of the magic tools she had discovered.

And today, after the two of them left, he gathered them all together and brought them in front of everyone.

“Really, I think Viscount Uwevol is someone you can’t trust.”

Margarita’s face darkened.

Monohorn somehow seemed to know what they were for.

“What on earth is that, why does it show so much disgust towards Viscount Uwevol, Margarita? To me, it appears to be a part of an ultra-long-distance communication magic tool that seems to be functioning normally.”

“That’s right, brother Octopoda. But they also have other uses, so that’s a problem.”

Margarita extends her long fingers, pointing one by one from her left, opening her mouth.

“Those are, in order, a magic tool for measuring location coordinates, a magic tool for perspective, a magic tool for video recording,”

As Margarita continues to speak, and as her fingers move to the right, everyone’s faces turn pale.

Mr. And Mrs. Octopoda opened his mouth and couldn’t hide his astonishment.

“Voice recording magic tools, information storage magic tools, and information transmission magic tools.”

“Oh my god…”

It was obviously a part used for the ultra-long-distance communication magic tool independently produced by the imperial faction.

However, at the same time, it was hiding a shady use.

“I was thinking of monitoring our every move through the relay magic tool that would serve as a base station built by the emperor faction, Viscount Uwebol.”

“Mi, crazy bastard…”

Mono Horn trembled at her explanation.

She has read the past of things, so her explanation must be unmistakable.

Goosebumps appeared on everyone’s body.

“Then, this is…”

Octopoda swallowed dry saliva and pointed at the magic tools.

His fingers pointing towards it tremble.

“From the moment you complete assembly, does it work non-stop?”

“Yes. Among the parts of the ultra-long-distance communication magic tool, there is an energy condensation magic tool that collects mana spread in the air and accumulates it in the energy storage magic tool. “

“Even while waiting for a connection, they constantly tried to monitor our private lives, I mean.”

“That’s right, Jose.”

Startle.

Jose secretly looks at Margarita.

During the explanation, it seemed that her mood was extremely low.

“… Viscount Uwebol must have been convinced that my wife and I do not have much depth in our knowledge of magic engineering.”

“So you’d have thought of this deception. Without Margarita, we would have had this terrible sorcery around without knowing we were under 24/7 surveillance.”

Octopoda and Demosh stare into the air and vent their anger.

The direction of the couple’s anger must be toward the system.

“What’s their detection range, Sister Margarita?”

Mono Horn questions Margarita with her hard face.

Margarita answers as she reads.

“Audio recording is 50m, fluoroscopy is 30m, video shooting seems to be about 40m.”

“I told you to put that on the roof of my house, so I guess I can keep an eye on roughly every room and yard.”

“…It’s amazing, really…”

Margarita shakes her head.

After assembling an ultra-long-distance communication magic tool, put it on the roof, and the round dish that looks like a parabolic antenna slowly rotates 360 degrees.

Rotating along with the plate, the magic tools see through all the spaces that come into view and take pictures.

At the same time, all spaces within a radius of 50m record even the slightest sound with an ultra-sensitive voice recording magic tool.

It is recorded in a storage device one by one, and transmits an hour’s worth of video and audio every hour.

As a result, the guards of the imperial faction can grasp their movements 24 hours a day, with a time difference of 1 hour.

This was the hidden function of the ultra-long-distance communication magic tool.

“Wow~? Then~ Every time Ada sister communicates with this~ Do the emperor faction see Ada sister’s naked body~?”

“Hee, heehee…!”

At Estrus’ question, Ada shuddered and flinched.

Her face was very pale.

“… If you’re nearby, everyone will be seen through, Estrus?”

“Why do you go so far~? Is this bastard bastard a pervert~?”

Everyone frowns and is at a loss for words.

Monohorn ponders deeply, but soon arrives at a possibility.

“I think it’s an attempt to collect evidence beyond montage, so that even if we figure out our physical characteristics or skeletons in detail, even if we fall out and hide somewhere in disguise, we can easily capture them.”

“Ah… By any chance, in the future, all the gates of the empire are planning to introduce such, ghastly, terrible surveillance equipment…?”

Demosh pointed to them and trembled her hand.

She, too, seemed quite tired.

“Isn’t that so? If we investigate based on long-term fluoroscopy images, we should be able to catch most of them, except for disguises at the skeletal level.”

“A terrible person…”

“I didn’t see it that way, but I truly hate it…”

Demosh and Ada tremble as they hold each other’s hands.

For the first time, they could fully understand Margarita’s disgust and displeasure.

“Wow… Then how should I use this, Monohorn? If Big Eyes stood in front of me… That, fuckin’ bastard would peek at Big Eyes or her naked body, and if Benison stood in front, he would spy on Benison… ?”

Benison was glaring at the magic tools ferociously as he clenched and opened his fists, as if he wanted to destroy them right away.

Jose’s and Octopoda’s expressions were no different.

Thinking that the naked bodies of her beloved companions and their private lives would flow into the imperial faction’s information organization through them, she absolutely did not want to use them.

“Hmm…”

Monohorn strokes his chin.

His eyes were on Jose.

José catches his gaze and turns his head towards him.

“Have you anything to say to me, brother?”

“Maybe, my older brother and I would be the answer?”

“…What does that mean?”

Monohorn turns to Margarita without answering José’s question.

“Sister.”

“Yes, tell me.”

“If even one of those things falls out, the ultra-long distance communication magic tool itself won’t work, right?”

“Yes. It was designed so that it cannot be removed in the first place.”

“I knew it.”

Mono Horn nods his head, then looks back at Jose.

“Brother, just shut everything up.”

“Hmm…? Please explain in detail.”

“After assembling them and floating them at a height of over 100m, Jose-hyung puts up a breeze curtain on top of the surveillance magic tool. Brother-nim’s curtain can completely block out sound and sight. If those eyes and ears are secretly hidden, , I’m going to block them with my brother’s tent.”

The party quietly listened to his plan and began to nod their heads loudly.

Hearing his words, Octopoda opens his mouth.

“I think it’s possible enough, Monohorn. In the first place, mana has the characteristics of a wave, but if it is completely physically shielded, it cannot penetrate the inside. Even clairvoyance, after all, penetrates a narrow gap through the diffraction of the mana wave and then reflects it. It is just the result of reinterpreting the waves coming out. So, if the clairvoyance magic tool completely seals the mana ejection part, they won’t be able to get any perspective images.”

“It’s the same with the voice recording magic tool. If you completely block the audio input, all they will get is noise? If you just cover it up, that alone is enough to disable the shooting function.”

“The problem is the location coordinate measurement magic tool…”

At least Octopoda and Demosi, who know the magic tool best, look at it with blurry faces.

Monohorn didn’t immediately understand why that was a problem, so he couldn’t figure out why the Octopodas were making such faces.

“Octopoda older sister. Demosi older sister. Is the location coordinate measuring magic tool another problem?”

“Yes. This is one of the achievements of Emperor Shi Huangdi, but it is complicated to explain everything, so I will briefly explain. Estimate the coordinates of.”

“Um… So, since it’s a magic tool that uses a strong magnetic field to determine the location coordinates, it will be difficult to physically block the magnetic field even if it’s covered with a curtain, are you saying this?”

“… I sometimes have the urge to thoroughly verify the level of education Monohorn has received through a test…”

“I’ll refrain from evaluating your academic achievement, brother!”

Mono Horn bit his tongue and shook his head.

And then I thought again.

Everyone was silent as well.

“Hmm…But, if the imperial faction knows exactly the location coordinates, what kind of problems could it cause?”

Mono Horn didn’t look for an answer, but rather asked his companions questions.

After serious consideration, the party began to speak their thoughts one by one.

“Benison, I think they’ll secretly send an assassin!”

“Can’t the three of us, Benison, Estrus and Margarita, notice that?”

“Um… Ehehe!”

Benison smiled shyly and raised his hands.

“Wouldn’t it be possible to apply long-distance strikes with magic, spells, or projectiles based on the exact location of the magic tool?”

“Well, can you hit farther than I made, Sister Demosi?”

“That’s… That must be difficult…”

“And to prepare for launch from a distance, a large-scale magic chant would have to be used. Will no one catch it until then?”

“I don’t think that either.”

Demoshi shook his head and raised his hands.

“Besieging our base from afar, and a large army rushing in in an instant…”

“That might be a little dangerous, brother Octopoda. It’s an attack that you can’t help but know about.”

“Then, wouldn’t it be better to unilaterally destroy the alliance without using that?”

“Hmm…”

Monohorn sinks into trouble.

He looked back at everyone else before giving a quick answer.

“Do you have any other opinions?”

“I’m not special.”

“Me too, brother.”

The Cuelvos shake their heads.

“Me too~ Octopoda Oppa, other than talking~ I can’t predict what the hell is going to be dangerous~?”

Estrus also shook his head.

Ada and Urmama just smiled.

Seeing their expressions, Monohorn decided not to expect an answer.

“To refute Oktopoda’s statement, first of all, our position is roughly exposed. If we estimate our position and form a wide encirclement of the Imperial Army while advancing to the north, we will be able to meet us unconditionally. Establishing a strategy in detail is important only when a small number of soldiers are deployed, but it becomes insignificant when an absolute majority of soldiers are deployed.”

“Ah…”

“Secondly, we prepared for a war in preparation for a quantity war. We were going to fight it in the first place, but I don’t know why we should be afraid of it.”

“But…”

Concern begins to fade on everyone’s faces.

“Finally, this is a solution, but if you’re still uneasy, I wonder if we can install it somewhere in the air instead of somewhere in one of our bases.”

Everyone’s eyes widen.

They seemed completely persuaded by Monohorn’s idea.

“Anyway, even a magic tool that measures positional coordinates probably doesn’t have a margin of error. Besides, it won’t be possible to check the location with a video, so they’ll have a headache around the strict coordinates. I guess we can waste time. In the meantime, can’t we just be prepared?”

“Hmm~? That sounds like a good idea~? If that’s the case, why don’t we float it over the river of water snakes~? Wouldn’t it be fine if you, Jose’s brother or you, took your sister with you only when Ada’s sister goes to communicate?”

“That’s a good idea. There’s an old saying in my town that good guys don’t come, and those who do come don’t be good. Whoever crawls, they’re all gone.”

Estrus’ smile deepened.

“Huh~♬ That’s true~”

Benison raises his hand.

“Do you like it!”

Demosi’s eyes turned cold.

“It’s tragic when people die in droves,”

Octopoda raises her glasses and continues her words calmly.

“Shouldn’t we live and see first?”

Ada joins her hands together as if praying.

“Those who die are mother’s precious children,”

Ur Mama clenched her fists.

“To me, the hero, the unnies, and the oppas are much more precious!”

Margarita smiles softly at her.

“So, can we take a break now?”

Silence prevails.

“Big, big. Actually, I’m desperate for a break too, everyone.”

Jose stares into space, her face blushing.

“What~ What~? I really like it~? Margarita unnie and Jose Jose~ I don’t think they’re just going to rest each other~♡ Right~?”

“They say stealing, which I learned late, is scary, and it seems to fit exactly. Isn’t it, Monohorn?”

“Ah, ahaha… W, as expected, Octopoda-niisama knows how to use proverbs according to the usage exactly…

Everyone except Monohorn looks at Margarita and José with sullen eyes.

Margarita was tinged with anticipation, but José’s face was as red as a furnace about to explode.

“Na~! Na~! I want you to take it off first~♡”

Estrus rushed at Jose.

They became a mess and got tangled up.

That’s how the meeting of the day ended, and their day came to an end.

It was peaceful.

Not yet.
