Chapter 157 – 157. The Celebration Order

Dada da da da da-!

The vibration and noise of the helicopter rotors echoed through the soundproof headset. While Yohan looked curiously into the helicopter’s interior, the pilot’s voice came from inside the headset.

[It is an honor to serve you. I am Lime, the first rank pilot.]
“…… Please take good care of me.”

As Adelheit spoke into the microphone over her headset, Rhyme made her body her tremble with excitement and tension.

A hero who saved the empire, a general equal to the emperor in terms of organization. Flying with Adelheit on board was like flying with Admiral Yi Sun-sin on board for Koreans.

As the pilot gathered his soul and flew as best he could, Adelheit stared blankly out the window.

‘I’m really flying….’

She never thought that even until just a few days ago, from her standards of her, she would be able to fly humans.

Flying in the sky is a privilege of such born beings. I just thought it was a bird or a witch’s right.

However, humans made trains so they could travel long distances freely, and made their own guns to escape from the threat of monsters.

Now that I can even fly in the sky—I couldn’t believe that a human being could develop this far.

“Ugh…… Noisy…….”

At that time, Hecaterina, who was riding the helicopter with him, began to hate him. Judging by the not very nice color of her face, she must have been getting motion sickness.

It was impossible to open her window and vomit from hundreds of meters above her, so John tried to stroke her back so that she would n’t vomit.

“Be patient. We are almost there.”
“Everyone, shut up…….”
“If this is the case, why did you say you would come?”
“Sibaal-Then stay there… ?”

As Hecate Lina said, she spoke of the remaining witches in her hut. Someone had to keep an eye on Margaret, so Regina remained as that watchdog.

Because they are pregnant, Evangeline and Beatrice, who must be absolutely stable, could not get on the helicopter.

Rinna and Rinne were left behind to support the two.

All that’s left is Adelheit and Hecaterina. Adelheite, as a general of the Empire, had a reason to go to the Empire, so he must attend. Hecaterina voluntarily participated because she didn’t know what would happen to her if she stayed there.

That’s how the three of them, John, Hecaterina, and Adelheit, headed for the Empire.

“No, while you can survive thousands of meters in the deep sea, why can’t you endure motion sickness?”
“Doc, hit me… !”
“…… Okay.”

Johann continued to stroke the back of the much-stricken Hecaterina, praying that she would not vomit in her chopper.

The sound of her voice reached the pilot, who flew as fast as possible to reach the empire.

* * *

“Ugh…… I’m going to die…….”

Shortly after getting off her chopper, Hecaterina staggered and complained of her headache her. Whether it was her pride her as a witch or to protect her face her as a woman, she did n’t vomit, but rather she could n’t calm her throbbing stomach.

Johann, supporting her in her drunken stagger, made her way inside the palace. Uselessly high and majestic imperial castle. Seeing the design that didn’t seem to take risks from missiles or shelling, Yohan smiled bitterly.

‘I can’t see a government like this on Earth.’

The first reason was that it was not good for a member of the National Assembly who ruled the country to appear extravagant with taxes.

Earth’s governments don’t build tall and tall buildings, but downwards. Dug into the basement

The fact that the imperial family of another world, where helicopters and missiles exist, walks the opposite path from the government buildings on Earth, must mean that they have that much confidence.

‘A truly power dictatorship…….’
“This way.”

After entering the imperial palace, Yohan and his party headed for the emperor’s office under the guidance of her court lady. Surprisingly, the emperor’s office was not located in the highest and grandest place.

Perhaps it was because he thought that even such miscellaneous tasks could be done by ‘the cloned self’ anyway, but the office of Makina, the mechanical witch, was rather deep underground.

Taking the elevator and descending hundreds of meters underground, Yohan remembered a secret base he had only seen in movies. Indeed, the emperor’s office looked like a secret base for her research.

A pure white corridor that stretched for more than tens of meters. A suspicious space with no decorations or grid patterns.

“The Emperor is inside. Then I’m just…….”

Her space her allowed to her maid her was up to her elevator, so the maid went upstairs alone, leaving Johan and company alone.

Johann looked at the lady-in-waiting as if she was dumbfounded, then cautiously passed her corridor in front of her and approached the large door at the end.

When she met her before, her radiation she greeted them. In case something similar would happen this time, John put Hecaterina, who was still complaining of dizziness, at the fore.

“Go, Hecaterina.”
“I don’t think I’m your pet……?”

Although Hecaterina complained so much, she obediently opened the door. Judging by the fact that the two did not show any reaction, Yohan realized that there was no radiation this time.

Carefully opening the door and going inside, countless naked ‘Machinas’ were standing there with their eyes closed.

RobotRobot. The fact that these were all artificial intelligence androids modeled after Machina made Yohan shudder a little.

“…… Who is it.”

Perhaps he heard their footsteps, and a sharp voice came from inside. Yohan realized that the owner of the voice was Makina.

However, it was unclear whether the person who made the noise was really ‘Machina’ himself. Isn’t it a situation where there are dozens or hundreds of Machinas around here right now?

“It’s me.”
“—I must have told no one to let them in… ” … Did ‘I’ allow it?”

Makina, who showed up with her doubts her, stiffened as soon as she saw Johann, Adelheit, and Hecaterina.

After staring blankly at them for a moment, Makina lifted her glasses and immediately turned her back.

“Wait a minute. I’ll bring my body.”

Indeed, as John expected, the Machina in front of him was not the real body. The unknown number of Makinas disappeared inside, and shortly thereafter—Makina herself appeared with several Makinas.

“Oh, really John.”
“There is also Adelheit.”
“What was the name of that Lori Geyou… It doesn’t matter if I just call it a meat toilet.”

Normally, upon hearing this, Hecaterina would have burst into anger and challenged Makina to a fight, but now Hecaterina was not normal.

It was because he was clinging to John in a posture that would make someone who was not familiar with the situation think that he was being trained outdoors on the street with a rotor or something inserted between his legs.

Seeing the Machinas talking to them, Yohan opened his mouth.

“Long time no see.”
“Yeah, it’s been a really long time. I think it’s over 50 years old. What happened?”
“It’s a bit long to explain.”
“I have a lot of time.”

Makina said and clapped her hands. Then, the mechanical devices placed around it moved themselves and created an iron chair.

Belatedly, Yohan and his party realized that this was Makina’s workshop of hers. A place created for her witch to make the most of her magic her.

They weren’t enemies before, but now that decades have passed, I don’t know what will happen. I couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, even though she didn’t do anything, thinking that if she had other thoughts, she might lose her life here.

“What are you doing? Not sitting down quickly.”
“…… Okay. Shall we sit down and talk?”

Johan, who sat in her seat her, began to explain why they had flown to the future decades later, while not letting go of her tension to subdue her by using her magic her when she was in trouble.

Margaret has awakened, and another Margaret has come over here from the distant future thanks to her magic her—and somehow, Margaret winds up time until this future.

After hearing all of her story her, Makina nodded her head and opened her mouth.

“I’m sorry.”
“Yes?”
“To be swayed by hormonal activity in the brain like love? Is that what a witch would do?”

As she befits a sensible witch, Makina said she could n’t understand Margarit’s behavior of her. Incomprehensible behavior is an abomination.

Makina, at this moment she was disgusted with Margaret. However, she didn’t feel the slightest hint that she was going to do anything different to her.

“—So, for what purpose did you guys come?”
“My 33 brother sent it. Shine her face her once.”

At Adelheit’s words, Makina sighed and looked at Adelheit.

Witches were not so necessary in the machine empire she had completed. Why did she create the Grand Witch Special Forces? It was because she would be in trouble if the witches went crazy and ruined her empire.

“…… Yes, what I’ve seen your face once, so that’s it. Can you come out? I am busy doing research.”
“Are we not needed?”
“I do not need. How many years do you think it’s been since you disappeared guys? If I hadn’t been able to find a replacement for you all this time, I would have been ruined.”

Makina said that and issued an order to celebrate her guests her.
The empire in her witch’s hands her was reborn as a country that did n’t even need the witch’s help.
