TLN Note: Now there’s androids? Cool~
I looked around Samechiren, over and over, checking even carefully than usual .
After assuring that there was no one around me, I placed a drop item to hatch it into a rogue monster .
The air around me changed completely, as the Dungeon Master・Satanachia appeared in front of me .
[Repetition!] (Ryouta)
I casted the magic in a flash .
The strongest farming magic that instantly kills anything without any conditions .
The Dungeon Master was no exception, as it was instantly killed the moment the magic was activated .
[Fuuu… . . ] (Ryouta)
I was a little relieved .
Even though I’ve already confirmed my surroundings, I still quickly killed it with repetition .
Reason being Satanachia has a special ability to control women .
Even if by itself, it’s not that strong, but when it manipulates some random bypasser, then it would be troublesome .
Before it becomes hectic, I rather kill it immediately .
The rogue monster of Satanachia dropped something .
Approaching it, I found it to be an earring .
The moment i picked up the earring, an effect popped inside my head .
Satanachia’s Ring, when equipped, it would invalidate the ability of a woman .
[……Hmmm . ] (Ryouta)
I tilted my head and unconsciously groaned .
I kinda understood . The Demon Satanachia who controls every women would drop an item which suppresses it’s ability… . . I was somewhat convinced .
However, from the dropped items I’ve gotten from rogue monsters so far, this effect is too subtle .
I think it would make more sense once I give this to a woman as a gift… . was what I thought .
[Well, it’s not something useful anyways . ] (Ryouta)
Sometimes there are exceptions .
Even though it’s a drop item from a Dungeon Master, it’s effect isn’t something great .
The Bicorn Horn that Celeste has from the Dungeon Master・Bicorn, is basically using an infinite amount of beginner’s magic .
It was perfect for Celeste, but it’s inherently subtle .
Someday it might be useful .
I thought as such as I pushed the earrings into my pocket and started walking back to Samechiren .
I met a woman while I was walking halfway .
It was a mysterious woman, even though I was right in front of her eyes, it’s as if her presence doesn’t even exist .
It was so severe that if I so much as close my eyes, I would lose sight of her . That was how thin her presence was .
However, after arriving at this world for quite some time, I have gradually improved my skill in perceiving things that others normally could not .
Still I could not feel the presence of the woman in front of me .
Is it a ghost——-? My body started shivering .
The woman casually stopped her feet and took something out of her pocket before placing it on the ground .
Immediately afterwards, a magic circle started spreading around that place .
It was a purple magic circle, it looked like a poisonous light that was reflecting a cocktail light .
Then the presence—–was born .
It wasn’t the woman, but the magic circle .
To put it more accurately, it’s close to something like a consciousness .
Slaughter… . . Destruction .
Such words emerged in my mind, and I jumped into the magic circle immediately .
Bachin!
I tried jumping in, but a purplish lighting fired towards me from the edge of the magic circle .
Her hands were slowly burning .
It was a bad magic circle after all . I do not know the details, but it was clear that if the woman stood there any longer, she’ll disappear .
[Hey! What are you doing, quickly get out of there!] (Ryouta)
I shouted loudly .
The woman turned quietly towards me .
I was slightly frightened .
Surprised, and stunned .
Her eyes when she turned around——no it’s her face .
It was a doll devoid of any emotions .
The situation was progressing while I was frustrated .
The magic circle is eating her up .
Her long hair was becoming shorter, and the clothes she was wearing were slowly erasing from the bottom .
This is no time to see!
My head turned fully awake .
What is happening, and what can I do to stop it .
What I have now, is my abilities .
All of them processed in my mind in an instant .
Together, they came up with one possibility .
I cannot afford to think any longer .
I pulled out my two revolvers, loaded the Flam and Frozen bullets respectively .
I immediately fired… . It fused and became the Annihilation Bullet .
The Annihilation Bullet was aimed at the ground—–and several Annihilation Bullets were fired to eat away the magic circle .
The missing parts of the magic circle immediately lost its effect and the purple lightning stopped .
Eventually, the area returned back to the natural outdoors .
The woman—–was safe .
[… . . Phew . ] (Ryouta)
I breathed out a sigh of relief .
An instant idea, an idea that I only had in mind which managed to succeed .
[What is the matter?]
[Don’t you what’s wrong with me? What were you even thinking! ?] (Ryouta)
I shouted in anger .
I do not know her circumstances, but it clearly looked like she was about to commit suicide .
[It was the instruction of Master . ]
[Instruction? From your master?] (Ryouta)
[Since we have became garbage to be disposed of, we decided to clean ourselves, from Master . ]
[… . . What did you just say?] (Ryouta)
I felt my belly growled in agony .
☆
I listened to her while holding my revolvers with the Flame and Frozen bullets just for precaution .
[First of all what do you mean by garbage . I think someone who uses such words on a human being is not right in their mind . ] (Ryouta)
[Master is not wrong . ]
[Huh?] (Ryouta)
[I am an artificial life form, a thing without a soul . So disposing me is the correct expression . ]
[Artificial… . life form?] (Ryouta)
I was lost in words .
[Yo, you mean like a robot or like an android?] (Ryouta)
[Robo-to? An-droid?]
[Aah… . uhh something like a golem? Or like a homunculus?] (Ryouta)
The woman quietly nodded .
[Very close, we are near equals . ]
[Why is such a thing… . . ?] (Ryouta)
[……Is that a question regarding the purpose of why we are manufactured?]
The woman tilted her head with no emotions on her face .
[Ah, yeah . ] (Ryouta)
[It is for the sake of the dungeon . ]
[For the Dungeon?] (Ryouta)
[I was made to artificially produce A Drop items . However, I have failed, and all the Drops I receive are F . And so I am a failed work . ]
The woman said it in a slow and monotonous voice .
While shutting my mouth, I heard her explanation .
Thus I was able to grasp the situation .
[In other words, because ordinary adventurers have variations in their productivity, so they decided to manufacture the best artificial lifeform to drop A Drop items in a fixed manner . ](Ryouta)
She nodded .
[However you failed… . . Damnit . ] (Ryouta)
[Why are you angry?]
[Well because—–] (Ryouta)
[Why are you getting angry at a failed work being thrown away?]
[Uhh… . . ] (Ryouta)
I unconsciously breathed in .
When being asked as such, it seems like a logical answer .
[We, well even so it’s not good . Anyways… . . I will not allow myself to allow you to break yourself . ] (Ryouta)
[That would be a problem . ]
[Why?] (Ryouta)
[It is the instruction of my Master, I have to follow his order . ]
This is apparently legitimate too .
[Can’t we change your master?] (Ryouta)
It was an almost spinal reflex of an answer .
In such a case, changing the master is the only way to solve this fundamentally speaking .
[It can be done . ]
[Then what should I do?] (Ryouta)
[Put your hands on my chest . Then, supply mana that is more than my previous Master . To overwrite it . ]
[And?] (Ryouta)
[That is all . ]
[That’s it?] (Ryouta)
[I am still a prototype, so it is easy for it to change . ]
Indeed, alright, if that’s the case—–
[However . ]
[However?] (Ryouta)
I stopped my hands from stretching forward to her chest .
[My power source consumes my Master’s mana little by little just by being near—– . ]
I stretched out my hand and touched her chest .
Then I sent my mana over to her .
I don’t know whether mana is MP or Intelligence in this case, but it doesn’t matter .
Either way both of it is SS which goes far beyond this world’s human being .
Her body glowed for a moment before settling down .
[How was it?] (Ryouta)
[The transfer of Master has been completed . ]
[Alright . ] (Ryouta)
[… . . Is that okay?]
I could finally see her expression from her face .
Although it was almost inexpressible, a colour of puzzlement appeared at a level if I look real close .
Was it a question of whether it was fine consuming my MP?
[Aah, there’s no problem . ] (Ryouta)
Way better than sacrificing yourself just because of your Master .
More than anything .
Seeing something being forced to do such things due to the unilateral circumstances above, I did not feel comfortable without intervening .
