< at perceives the current situation in Ars will make a big difference in how we respond to them in the future.

Also, how accurately can they guess our intentions by listening to the vague concept of <>? This also helps us to estimate the capability of the <>.

At least, that's what < thought.

And the answer of <> is .......

So much the better, thinks <>. That's what Jin and the others who are listening on Horai Island think as well.

But I am sure that there will be someone who will inherit his blood and will.

Oh?　<, Jin and the others thought, and listened carefully to the words that followed.

If there is such a person, then there is no problem in handing over my command.

"I see. "Well, that would be a great pleasure."

But...

Is there a problem with ......?

There is. First of all, it is unlikely that there is such a person.

"That's ......."

I know. The person who owns your base, his magic pattern is unmistakably the same as that of the masters.

"Then go to ......."

No, wait. There's one more condition.

Condition?

I'm a magical brain specialized in simulated combat. In other words, my raison d'être is simulated combat.

"......"

I'm beginning to understand what you're trying to say, < and Jin and the others.

The submarine you used in the mock battle you won the other day belonged to the previous owner, didn't it?　It looked very similar to the one in the previous record.

"That's true, sir."

If so, I would like to see a mock battle with the current owner's own submarine. And if I lose, it will be yours.

I see.

I see what you mean.

This is a good result.

With one more mock battle, we can have <>.

"I think we should take this one."

Jin said, and almost everyone nodded.

But Reinhard was the only one who nodded,

"You should confirm the schedule and rules first, and then approve it," he advised.

He advised us to confirm the schedule and the rules first, and then approve it.

* * * * * * * * *

Then, I will check it out. The mock battle is to be conducted under the same rules as the previous one, is that correct?

Of course.

"What's the schedule?　You won't say today or tomorrow, will you?

Of course. How about three days from now?

"In three days. ......"

* * * * * *

With Jin's production capacity, there is no problem at all. But in general, I must say that it is quite short.

Then, spoke up and said, "Jin-dono, you have to wait for three days.

"Jin-dono, this three-day deadline probably means that you have to be ready in that short period of time," he said.

In other words, it is natural to be ready. If you can't, then you are not qualified to be the owner?

"Yes, I think so."

"I understand."

Jin nodded.

<.

I understand.

I understand. I accept.

Good. The waters will be the same as last time?

Yes.

I'll send the signal to your control mage brain.

That's fine.

Okay, I'm looking forward to it.

May I ask you a question?

No, no.

No. ......?

Let's have that kind of talk after this mock battle.

Huh?

Thank you for coming all the way here today. You're going home that way.

The discussion was ended unilaterally, and Mainte and Smith were escorted out of the base.

* * * * * *

The situation is being analyzed at Horai Island.

"Hmmm... I guess they think of us as lower in rank..."

Jin-dono is right. It was definitely based on such a judgment. ......<> likes a clear hierarchy."

Jin and the 's judgment is what we all felt.

"But it would be better if Jin-dono wins the next mock battle.

"Kuhu, you're right. Jin will be fine.

"You're right, Saki."

< seemed to have no doubt that Jin would win. Even though there was still no sign of the submarine.

"Yeah. We have to do our best.

Jin looked around at all the faces.

"Well, what kind of submarine should we go with? I mean, we have a submarine on hand now, don't we?

Marcia was the first to respond.

"The submarine we have is the Orca.

It is 10 meters long, 3 meters wide, and seats 8 passengers.

The outer panel is made of two layers of 64 light silver and the shell of a gigantopod. The inner surface is coated with soft magic resin to prevent water leakage and for emergency repairs.

It is powered by an aqua thruster and a force field generator (force generator).

It is armed with two underwater magic cannons (Magicanon) (for torpedo type shells), ten mana bomb torpedoes (propelled by the Aqua Thruster), and an adamantite-guided underwater torpedo (propelled by the Force Generator). Force Generator propulsion) 4 torpedoes. 1 laser cannon, 1 sound cannon.

One laser cannon and one sonic cannon.

1 paralyzer, 1 magijammer, 1 etherjammer.

2 powerful searchlights, 2 auxiliary lights. 2 pairs of golem hands (made of magi adamantite) for searching the seabed.

For protection, a magic barrier and a solid barrier. Naturally, they are also equipped with water and wind shielding wards, and can reach supersonic speeds when the need arises.

For emergency escape, it is equipped with a warp gate.

The energy source is a magical reactor (Magi Reactor) and Aethenol for emergencies.

It is equipped with a manacam (magical element communication device) as a communication device.

It is also equipped with a magi-detector and underwater sonar for exploration.

It is also equipped with an autopilot system that applies a control core.

"...... is kind of awesome."

"......"

"I think we're going to need one of these."

I think it's a good idea.

I feel rather sorry for them.

These were the honest opinions of those who heard the specs again.
