#605. do it right

Land, but not land.
A forest, but not a forest.
Peaceful but not serene.
A place unlike any other in the world.
In the middle of it, three large machines were flickering.
or emits misty steam.
Make a loud mechanical noise.
A light that emits a blue glow.
While proving that each is active in its own way, it fills the surroundings with light, steam, and sound.
The three machines suddenly stopped working.
[Special occurrence.]
[Received request through child object.]
[Request details. Rentals from EAFB-0001 to EAFB-005 and permission to access the blockade area.]
Did any contact come through the wires that stretched like a spider’s web in all directions?
The three machines began to exchange opinions with each other.
[Review the validity of the request.]
[Required Qualification Level 1 Special. Requester Class 2 Exception. Insufficient qualifications.]
[Check conditions for opening the containment area. condition not met. Unable to access.]
[Request denied.]
[Request dismissed.]
[Rejected request.]
Could it be because of the language of 0 and 1?
After just a few seconds of exchanging opinions, the three machines confirmed that each other’s judgment was the same and came to a conclusion.
[3:0 unanimous agreement.]
[Answer notified to the second-level special requester.]
[During the notification procedure…]
Kiki.
right at that moment.
All three machines stopped at once.
Even the steam that was gushing out.
Even the engine that was running without a break.
Even the power that used to shed brilliance.
Suddenly, the movement stopped, and after silence, the wires between the machines swayed.
[…Received special order.]
[Conditionally lowered required qualifications from Level 1 special to Level 2 exceptions.]
[Conditionally allowed access to containment area 0-B class.]
[Review the validity of the request.]
[Qualifications fulfilled .]
[Access granted.]
[3:0 Unanimous.]
[Notice that the request of the Level 2 Special Requester will be accepted.]
[Notification procedures implemented.]
I reversed my decision to dismiss.
The three machines did not feel any discomfort with the fact and did not harbor any complaints.
just sober
only quietly.
I just did the task given to me.
So after a while.
[Notification completed.]
[EAFB-0001 0002 0003 0004 0005 dispatched.]
[Delegation of command to level 2 exception requester until mission complete.]
[Return to normal duties.]
[Resume normal duties.]
[Resume normal duties.]
In the blink of an eye After processing the request in the interim, the three machines blinked again and returned to their work.
distant past.
Since the dawn of the golden age.
with the Silver Age.
Through the Bronze Age.
Until the age of heroes is over.
…And as it has been since the distant past.
The three ancient spirits were locked in time, waiting for the day to come soon.
* * *
From the Age of Bronze.
The Sword Master was a nemesis of the Seven Dragons.
After the Sword Emperor slashed the seven dragons.
It’s because I’ve been fighting Limon all along.
But surprisingly, there weren’t that many other sword masters fighting the Seven Dragons.
As much as the Seven Dragons knew the strength of the Sword Masters, they avoided collisions with them as much as possible, and the Sword Masters did not bother to pursue the Seven Dragons relentlessly.
At least the sword.
Or, the only exception was Geomrang, who ran away while trying to steal the property of the Golden Dragon clan.
The same goes for running repairs.
Or rather, she was the sword master with the least enmity with the Seven Dragons.
It was because she lived in the wild without paying attention to human affairs in the first place,
and it was rare for her to hold grudge against humans.
“Kreurreung.”
In that sense, this moment.
It was extremely unusual to see a running eagle growling with its teeth openly exposed.
However, Maia didn’t even raise an eyebrow at the threat of urinating even the god of the sword master’s hostility.
Rather, it seems lame.
I just laughed coldly.
“I thought Sword Spirit was your disciple, but now I see that it was an animal he picked up and raised.”
“…Suri-ya, it’s not about swearing at people.”
“plea. That female provoked first.”
“Doctor-sensei, why don’t you stop arguing with Suri?”
“I have never had a quarrel. I was just telling the truth.”
“What did you say?”
“Testimony. The green female said that the eagle was a beast in heat.”
“No matter how much you are a doctor, isn’t that a bit harsh?”
“An objection. Suri I’m not in love yet. So, it is wrong to say that he was in heat.”
“Suri, isn’t that the reason to object?”
he said back.
Pressing your temples with your hands.
Limon let out a heavy sigh.
Whether as a sword master or as Noh Kang-ho.
From world wars to massacres, he was familiar with quite a few disputes and fights.
However, he had no choice but to suffer from the nerve war between Suri and Maia.
“If you don’t want to hear that you’re in heat, why don’t you start by clinging to the swordsman and rubbing his skin?”
“Sternly refuse! My group of male teachers. It’s a natural right to have the hair cut by the boss.”
Rubbing the skin is always an expression of friendship.
He’s not your boss, he’s your teacher, and a disciple doesn’t have that kind of right.
muttering inadvertently
“You have no hair.”
“Point out. i have hair And even if you don’t have hair, it’s important to pick out your hair. An important act in confirming that they are from the same group and leaving a harvest.”
Whether it’s pointing out that I’m not carelessly talking about whether or not I have hair.
It’s literally reading a sutra on the decline.
Whatever Limon says or doesn’t.
I didn’t care about the sneering Maia and the running repair that showed it.
We just kept fighting and staring at each other.
“When a female leaves a harvest for another male, it’s called being in heat.”
“denial. no other males. He is my lead male.”
“You can rub against any female or leader, so I can see how promiscuous your group is.”
“…warning. I just withdrew that statement immediately.”
“What if I don’t withdraw?”
“Declaration. It makes me regret it.”
“If you can, try it.”
Did you run out of patience?
The running eagle put both hands on his back and grabbed the dagger.
The moment Maia snorted as if in response, reached out to take off her gloves.
“The Sword Spirit Green Dragon Princess.”
flinch
A running repairman releases his dagger.
“I would have told you to stop?”
dreaming
Maia frowned.
Calm.
even though it’s quiet.
A particularly heavy voice.
Because it was only after hearing that that they realized that there were other people whose patience was running out due to their bickering.
Did you become afraid of being scolded?
Take a moment to look around.
It seems like they just decided to make a decision at this point.
The running repair suddenly pointed a finger at Maia and said,
“opinion. It’s better to kick out the male teacher and that female.”
“…Are you asking me to kick the doctor out just because of a little quarrel?”
“denial. It’s not about arguing.”
It’s never because of the boss.
The running repairman shook his head.
Of course, she hated Maia.
Of course, even though I apologized, I ignored it.
Even after that, I was always provoking and arguing with cynical words.
However, there was another reason why Suri, who was running, was uncharacteristically angry and kept arguing with Maia.
“assurance. That female is dangerous.”
“If it’s because of the doctor’s constitution, never mind. You know poison doesn’t work on me, right?”
“answer. Anything that is not poisonous or dangerous is hostility.”
“…”
“Warning. The green female has hostility towards the male teacher. I don’t know what I’ll do if I leave you by my side.”
Limon fell silent.
It was Maia with a sneer who spoke on his behalf.
“I’m not saying it’s wrong. I definitely have a grudge against the swordsman.”
“…why admit it?”
“There is no reason to deny it.”
Maybe it’s because I didn’t know that I would admit that fact so easily.
Looking at the running repair that blinked inadvertently.
Maia twitched her lips.
“But if I, the swordsman, are the enemy of the swordsman, then what are you?”
“answer. It’s a running repair.”
“I am not asking for your name. I am asking about your relationship with the swordsman.”
Just like the running repairman hates her.
Maia didn’t like this girl either.
And it wasn’t just because the running repairs clung to Limon all the time.
“Would you like to remain as a swordsman’s disciple?”
Even though he was his disciple, he treated Limon as the leader and acted like a group as if it were natural.
“Do you want to be his female?”
Even though he had a long-cherished desire to fall in love, he didn’t ask Limon to be his partner.
“Or are you going to become an enemy?”
As long as there is alcoholism, there is no choice but to become an enemy anyway, and even though he said so himself, he naturally acts cute to Limon.
I don’t like all of them.
He is more thorough with Eunwon than anyone else.
That’s why the green dragon princess, who hates halfway things, sharply shot at them.
“I mean, don’t be vague, do it straight.”
“…denial. I have never been vague.”
“Then why can’t you answer my question?”
“…”
Is it because it was stabbed in the middle?
The running repairman, whose eyes were wandering, looked at Limon as if asking for help.
But only scratching the cheek.
Seeing Limon’s inability to protect herself, she was even more at a loss and finally made a decision.
“I’m going hunting!”
with a splash!
right after that.
The running repair ran out.
Then, as it jumped into the river, it made waves and moved away from the boat at high speed.
“I’m sorry.”
I would have admired his resolute decision if he had rather attacked with a knife.
Maia was sneering at the behavior of the running eagle who ran away without answering with the modest excuse of hunting.
Limon sighed.
“Don’t be too hard, Doctor. You know running repairs are a tough position to answer right away, right?”
until you unwrap it.
There is no choice for repairs that run anyway.
Looking at Limon, who embraced her as a disciple, Maia snorted.
“Before defending others, you should do your best as a swordsman. You have to have the right attitude, right?”
“…I think it was the doctor who said that I couldn’t tolerate being hurt by repairs?”
“I don’t mean to kill the Sword Spirit right away. It means that you should quickly decide whether to find another mate for her or to seduce her and make her your bride.”
“Isn’t that something I decide to do?”
Limon put on a puzzled expression.
The only one who can be her mate is the Sword Master.
However, the world federation’s sword masters are of course out of the question, and there is no promise of how many decades it will take to raise a new sword master from now on.
One more important issue.
“In the first place, no matter who the opponent is, Suri will never have a crush on a person?”
“Then why do you think her long-cherished wish is love and not simple reproduction?”
“Yeah…”
To Limon, who was speechless.
Maia said coldly.
“Swordsmith. No matter how long you’ve lived, it’s arrogant to think that you can fully understand women’s feelings.”
Spirit picks it up.
Even if you raised it like a beast.
Running repairs are definitely human beings.
There is definitely a woman’s heart in her heart.
Not like the person who had been arguing with Suri running for the past few days…
No, rather, saying the fact that he knew more clearly because he had fought like that.
Maia suddenly frowned.
“And…”
As the green dragon princess.
Not even as a woman.
As a member of the legislature who has been closely monitoring Limon’s details.
Thinking of the dragon psionic and the dreadful energy of the swordsman sleeping in his body like a bomb that could explode at any moment.
she said coldly.
“Don’t forget that you don’t have time to leisurely wait for the Sword Spirit’s choice.”
