Chapter 47
Translator: “Karaage” Editor: “Weasalopes”
On a certain holiday, when the sky is clear and blue and a cool breeze begins to blow, a Knight’s exhibition was held in the Royal Capital.
The knights were marching down the main street after being inspected by the king in the royal castle. A mock battle between Knights is also held outside the main gate.
These 18m humanoid Golems, were either parading or competing against each other. This is one of the most popular exhibitions held in the Royal Capital; it takes place every year during this season, after the summer passes and before the autumn harvest begins.
A lot of visitors also come from outside the Royal Capital, and the inns and plaza is filled with tourists.
The chest of the marching Knights opens and the pilot within waves his hand towards the cheering crowd along the road.
「A giant robot…!」
Tauro while being engulfed by the crowd was thrilled to see the marching Knights.
It was impossible to not get thrilled. He loves this sort of things, during his middle school days during class; he used to sketch an original design giant robot in his notebook.
(It’s a western armor design. Samurai armor type and weld/rivet nostalgic type are also great, but from a worldview this is the best.)
I agreed with my own opinion.
(I really want to see the cockpit. It may be a sensory tuning type or lever type, no, it may be a handle operation type…)
That was shocking. And it doesn’t fit this world.
(Is it operated alone? Or is it broken up into two parts, on the head and chest?)
And I laugh obscenely.
(While piloting on the chest, the troublesome support will be left to the secretary on the head. And when feeling horny, you can let it out on the secretary. This setting is quite exciting.)
Really good. It was a really great idea.
While imagining myself as the one piloting the giant humanoid robot, my face distort vulgarly.
「Oh, isn’t it Tauro?」
Perhaps he noticed me because of my vulgarly distorted face. A pilot whom I’m acquainted with called out to me.
It seems I have come to the plaza after being swept away by the crowd of people when I was having delusions.
The Knights are displayed in the plaza, and the pilots are standing on the side while watching over the audience.
「Hey, Cornier. Working?」
Cornier calls me out from the park, he’s not some self-proclaimed pilot from the Knight’s Chivalric Order. He is indeed a full fledged pilot from the Royal Knight’s Chivalric Order.
Why am I acquainted with a figure with such high status?
It is because both of us are regulars at brothels, and we hit it off after talking at various places.
Even before we knew each other, Cornier have been noticing me who possess two titles『Dr.Slime』.
And I was interested in Cornier who possess the title『Skewer Whirlwind』.
「Yeah, I’m on assistant duty today. If you’d like, why don’t you get in line as well?」
Saying that, Cornier smiles and points to the end of the line.
I was a little disappointed, since I was thinking that I will get preferential treatment since we are acquaintances.
「Certainly, I will do so.」
Hearing my answer, Cornier nods and smiles.
There was no need to harbor ill feelings. Since the pilots of the Knight Chivalric Order would not cut into the line even if the person is an acquaintance.
After lining up for quite some time, it was my turn to sit in the cockpit. And piloted by an assistant pilot, the Knight got down on one knee and stood up.
It was only a few minutes, but it was a great experience.
After getting out of the cockpit, I grasped Cornier’s hand with excitement, and shook it up and down, to express my gratitude.
「If you really want to pilot it, you can also experience it in the mock cockpit.」
Cornier shows a wry smile.
I returned the question.
「Mock cockpit experience?」
「Yeah, you will be sitting in a mock cockpit of a Knight, and will try moving the Golem. 」
His words enliven my heart.
Not just the brothels, but also giant robots, how charming is this world.
「Well, even if I say Golem, it overall height is only 50cm, it’s something like a toy.」
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing my eyes sparkling, Cornier seems to be taking precautions.
But this consideration is needless.
Even if it’s a toy, just being able to pilot a Golem is enough for me.
I give my thanks to Cornier, and headed there.
it is also a long queue here as well.
「It’s a long line, but it’s advancing quickly.」
I mutter to myself.
In fact, it is advancing even faster than the Knight boarding experience previously.
Soon, my turn draw near.
(Oh, so that is the mock cockpit.)
In front of me, there was a cockpit housed in the chest of the Knight in an open state.
And right beside, a 5m diameter magic circle is drawn, and in the center, a 50cm Golem was stretched out.
(Somehow, this Golem looks like a toilet’s pictogram.)
For its color, it seems to be made of some whitish stone, and its shape is very similar to the sign you find on a men’s toilet. It will be the thing itself if it were blue.
(The one sitting in the cockpit will be moving the Golem using the magic circle inside.)
I understand from looking at the person who was now sitting in the cockpit groaning.
And at the same time, I also understood why this line was advancing quicker than the one before.
Those who have no mana, will end without moving the Golem.
There were some who were able to move it, but most of them get bored after only being able to twitch it slightly after a few times.
And that is why the line was advancing so quickly.
(Alright, let’s do it.)
Like the previous person, I got into the cockpit and fire myself up.
The cockpit looks like an orthodox lever type, but the lever does not move when gripped, and the pedal seems to only be a footrest, and it was not possible to step on it.
「The lever and pedal, are triggers for attack spells, movement and support spells, so it is now made to not move.」
The instructor pilot answers my question politely with a smile when I asked.
「The driving force of the Knight, it’s the pilot’s mana. It will be impossible to move it without mana. And when moving, it is not by using the lever or pedal, but the Magic Manipulation.」
「Magic Manipulation?」
I asked what he meant by magic manipulation.
「Yes, it is a method of piloting a Knight, but there is no way to explain what it is right now. 」
The pilot smile while saying sorry.
After hearing the explanation, it is now time to challenge piloting it.
(First is mana. I don’t know if I have any mana, but I am able to use magic that I borrowed from the stone statue. Let’s try activating it calmly.)
I cast Cure Injury Spell (F), and slowly ooze it out.
Then, the Golem in front of my eyes who was lying down like a puppet with its strings cut, stiffened its body while lying down.
「It seem that you possess mana. Now, try to feel the movement of your mana, and move the golem.」
The pilot says joyfully.
(Movement of my mana, movement of my mana……)
I thought to myself. During that time, the Golem stiffens and then slackens as if trembling.
(It may be similar to light circulation, let’s use that as the image.)
I close my eyes, while sensing my own light circulation, I try manipulating the Golem.
(First, is to stand.)
As if I myself have become the Golem, I imagine standing up slowly.
Like when I was activating the monk’s fist, I knead my spirit, into a virtual gun barrel with a sensory feedback.
In that image, it was responding as if I was steering a car.
The image conveys the position of the center of gravity and the state of balance of the golem, just as the steering conveys the road surface.
And also my crotch as well.
It is possibly unavoidable. it is because when I was imagining the virtual gun barrel with sensory feedback, like the Golem, my son was reacting as well.
(Yaa, hoo, too)
While feeling the frustration between my crotch, I somehow maintain balance and stand up.
The surrounding becomes suddenly astir.
「…Oi, he made it stand.」
「Oo, it’s my first time seeing it stand.」
Listening to the surrounding noise, just in case, I look towards my crotch.
(No problem, it’s not standing.)
.
Even if it’s me, I will die in agony if I was to become erect right in front of everyone.
What the surrounding is referring to must be the Golem
While I looked over there, the Golem stood with its hips sticking out and swing both its arms forward while trembling.
The moment I see this spectacle, I lost focus and the Golem turn over.
(Oof)
I startled for an instance from the impact.
Fuu, I sigh, with an embarrassed grin I look towards the pilot.
…The pilot, with a serious look, was staring at me sharply.
「Hiii!」
My sound leak out before I know it.
Seeing my frightened state, the pilot got back to his senses. An awkward smile floats on his face and starts praising me.
The queue is still long, to let the next person in, I left the mock cockpit.
When I was wearing the cloak which I had taken off, I was called out by the pilot. It seems, he wants me to go to the tent in the back.
(Oh, I wonder if this means I have a talent or something.)
I smile with satisfaction in my heart.
From the voices from the surrounding earlier, I seemed to have gotten into a good line.
If you were to ever get the chance of riding a giant humanoid robot and pilot it yourself, please do so.
I who had gladly accept the pilot’s invitation, was guided to the tent in the back.
When I enter the tent, I was offered a chair.
And a lady with thick make-up serves me tea.
Rather than the smell of tea, the smell of makeup is more intense.
After a while, the pilot who guided me came back with a elderly man.
And they both sit down in front of me.
According to the self-introduction, this elderly man seems to also be in the Knight’s Chivalric Order and was also that pilot’s superior.
「Tauro, you may have the talent of becoming a pilot.」 If you don’t mind, can we do a little more detailed examination?」
「Okay. If you don’t mind me.」
I give an immediate answer.
A humanoid giant robot is waiting for me. There is no other answer for me right now.
「Then, without delay please come over here.」
The pilot takes me to the back of the tent.
In the back of the tent, there was a device similar to the mock cockpit previously.
It is similar, but this one is constructed more elaborate.
If that was for simple event use, this will be for regular training use.
The Golem lying in the magic circle is also larger at a height of about 1m, and the appearance is also the same as a Knight itself.
A sophisticated figure covered with western armor.
If I was in my previous world, I would have asked for the price with my wallet in hand.
「Before we start, let me give you a little explanation.」
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe pilot began to explain.
The Knight cannot be pilot unless he or she possesses mana or be able to use any kind of magic above E rank.
To maneuver the Knight, the ability Magic Manipulation is needed. And it is rare to find people who possess this ability.
The test that will be conducted will not only check the minimum mana you need to have, but also whether you have the ability Magic Manipulation.
「Then, please sit in the cockpit. As far as Magic Manipulation is concerned, there is no other way but try it out.」
Being prompt, I sit in the cockpit.
「Then, please try it the way you like.」
Yes I reply, and start immediately.
Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath.
While feeling the flow of light circulating within me, I activate F rank magic and melt it into my light circulation.
I felt my inner self being filled with F rank magic.
Immediately, I realize that my mana was flowing into the Golem.
The extended virtual gun barrel is no longer the incarnation of my son like before.
I changed the image to myself becoming the Golem itself.
Then, in order to move the Golem, I direct my consciousness into the Golem.
And suddenly, the front of my eyes lit up.
(This is!? , Is this the scenery reflected in the eyes of the Golem?)
It was another point of view which was not mine; the image of the tent was spreading into my consciousness.
At the same time when I’m surprise, I understood.
Slowly, I turn the neck of the Golem. Sitting in the mock cockpit with my eyes closed, I can see.
Right beside, I can see the elderly man and pilot staring at the Golem seriously.
(Yes! It’s a success!)
Feeling excited about being able to pilot the Golem, my heart heats up.
(But still, I did not expect that piloting a Golem feels this way.)
A sense synchro system.
In particular, being able to synchronize with the Golem’s eyes.
Carefully taking balance, I stand up.
And slowly, I walk around.
It was like riding a radio controlled car with a camera.
Looking at my own hands, I move my fingers. It’s moving as well.
(Ooo, it’s so precise.)
Slowly getting familiar, I walk around the magic circle happily.
It seems that I can only pilot it inside this magic circle.
If I went outside, the link would break and I won’t be able to move it.
Occasionally, I tried imitating the poses of robots I see in anime. It’s a pity that there is no mirror.
「………」
The elderly man and pilot are staring as if they were holding their breaths.
Tauro had not yet noticed.
How high his Magic Manipulation ability was.
The experience he had gained in brothels, the lessons from Instructor Light, and Magic eye.
Using Magic eye, he is able to grasp the light circulation of himself and others.
And, the monk’s fist which was acquired to defeat the elves.
And this virtual extension barrel with feedback could be used to manipulate the Golem as if it was his alter ego.
Although it was not his intention, Tauro’s training refined his Magic Manipulation ability to a domain that could not be compared to a normal person.
And that ability was the most required for being a pilot.
「………」
No words were coming out of the elderly man and pilot. They have remain silent from a while ago.
Although it’s a 1m high Golem used for training, there were rarely any who were able to manipulate it so naturally.
Furthermore, it’s the first time seeing someone who is able to cheerfully manipulate one.
They remained silent until they were called out by Tauro, who was happily playing in the Golem.
