I’m mass-producing the new potion, the Mika Potion.
The raw materials are just grass and water. It’s practically free.
The only cost is the expense of running the factory.
Large quantities of Mika Potions are boxed and ready to go.
The Vegetable Familiars put them into ■(Boxes) for storage.
The inside of the ■(Boxes) is a different dimension, so no matter how much is stored, the medicinal effects won’t weaken.
Even if I make too much, I won’t have trouble finding a place to put it, and it won’t spoil.
So, I’m cranking out potions like crazy.
I’ve left the management of the factory operations to Sinri (Machine & AI).
Some parts of the factory are automated, but there are also sections managed by people.
“Make sure the people working inside don’t collapse.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: Understood. However, there are many Vegetable Familiars (Vessel Bodies), so manpower is sufficient. The factory can operate at full capacity 24 hours a day.
～～～～～～
Near the factory line, there are handsome Vessel Vegetable Familiars.
Manpower, after all.
Manpower solves everything.
“Even so, aren’t you making too many potions?”
I feel like the factory line has been running non-stop.
～～～～～～
Sinri: We are preparing for when the time comes.
～～～～～～
“When the time comes, huh… Will that time ever come?”
The old men and women of Dead End are super strong, and there’s the Goddess Statue defense system.
“And Mika-chan is here too!”
So, it felt like making too much was pointless.
After this, there’s also the task of selling them.
I don’t even know if there’s a place that would buy this many potions.
～～～～～～
Sinri: When the time comes, it will come soon.
～～～～～～
Is that so?
Just then, it happened.
“Yes… Yes, what!? No way…”
Seira-chan is talking while holding something to her ear.
～～～～～～
Sinri: What Seira-sama is using is a Magic Tool for communication. It applies Telepathy magic, allowing conversations with people in distant places.
～～～～～～
Oh, so there are Magic Tools like phones.
I wonder who Seira-chan is talking to.
～～～～～～
Sinri: It’s a call from the head of the OTK Trading Company in the Imperial Capital Carter of the Madukas Empire.
～～～～～～
The Madukas Empire… Ah, that’s the one.
It’s Seira-chan’s hometown, the empire we went to for business with Licia-chan before.
If I remember correctly, there was a big trading company called OTK Trading Company, and the guild master there was a weirdo.
He even proposed to me.
Let’s see… What was his name again?
～～～～～～
Sinri: Show Ida di Madukas.
～～～～～～
That’s it. He was the head and a prince, wasn’t he?
“O-okay, I’ll go right away…”
Seira-chan turns off the communication Magic Tool.
“So, what happened? It was a call from your hometown, right?”
“Call…? Yes. … Apparently, the Imperial Capital Carter is being attacked by monsters.”
～～～～～～
Sinri: A large number of giant insect-type monsters called Magic Bugs are swarming Carter.
Seira-sama is worried about her parents’ graves in Carter, as well as the house she lived in and her neighbors.
～～～～～～
…I see.
Seira-chan is originally from the Empire.
She’s moved to Dead End now, but her memories exist in the Empire.
It’s not just Seira-chan, Granse-san’s memories and acquaintances are also in the Empire.
“Hey… Mika. You see…”
Even without relying on Sinri, I can understand what Seira-chan wants to say.
I smile and pat her head.
“It’s okay, leave it to me. I’ll go quickly and help them out.”
If I go outside the territory, I can’t let them know I’m a God.
I have to hold back my power. I’ll go as Adventurer Mika.
I put on my disguise witch hat and glasses.
“Are you sure? You hate the Empire, right? I heard it from Licia.”
“It’s not that I hate it, it’s just that I’m not good with that Show guy. I don’t particularly hate it. But I don’t particularly like it either.”
“Then why are you going to help them?”
“That’s easy.”
I smile.
“My friend is making a sad face. I can’t stand to see that face.”
“Mika… Thank you. I owe you one.”
“No problem. You always help me out too.”
Luciel is holding the Sword of Omniscience (Hoteison).
“I’m going too. Mika God can’t use Divine Power, right?”
“Yeah. Please.”
“I’m going too!”
Seira-chan, Luciel, and I decided to head to the Empire.
“Granse-san, please take care of Mei-chan and Licia-chan.”
“Yes, please do, Mika-san.”
Granse-san is always smiling softly.
She seems the same as always, but I can see that she’s worried.
She’s just not showing her anxiety.
Seira-chan smiles at Granse-san.
“It’s okay! Grandma! Mika is here!”
“That’s right, if Mika-san is there, it’ll be okay.”
“Yeah! Well, we’re off!”
So, I activate Greater Teleportation.
I’ve been to the Imperial Capital Carter once, so I can teleport there in an instant.
“Whoa! What is that… a black cloud?”
～～～～～～
Sinri: “Black cloud”
→ It’s a swarm of Magic Bugs.
Sinri: “Magic Bugs”
→ They are insect-type monsters with giant bodies and an outer shell with a hardness greater than Orichalcum. They come in various forms, such as beetles and stag beetles.
～～～～～～
Sinri immediately gives me the necessary information.
As expected of an AI.
“Hardness greater than Orichalcum… huh.”
Hmm.
“We can do this.”
“Normally, I’d retort… but yes, we can do this, Mika God.”
That’s right, we have Luciel, the master of buffs and debuffs, the Purifying Retort master.
We’re above Carter.
The Magic Bugs have already infiltrated Carter.
“First, we need to drive the bugs out of the city and put up a Barrier around the city.”
Speaking of Barriers, there’s Kurohime… but I don’t want to use the Four Divine Beasts’ power outside the territory.
“[Barrier Magic]!”
I tend to forget, but I can use all attributes of magic, and I have high magic aptitude.
I can even use Barrier magic. Well, I rarely use it though.
Zwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!
A hemispherical Barrier expands, centered on the center of Carter.
The Barrier drives the bugs out one after another.
In an instant, the Barrier covers Carter.
～～～～～～
Sinri: All the Magic Bugs in the city have been driven out.
～～～～～～
“Wow… and isn’t the magic super accurate? It’s been a while since I used magic, so I thought my aim would be off.”
The Barrier is accurately covering the city.
And not a single Magic Bug is left inside.
“There’s no way Mika can have such precise Magic Power control.”
“Ah, Sinri must have supported her.”
Is that so?
～～～～～～
Sinri: That’s right. I’m not just a high-performance, super-smart AI.
～～～～～～
Don’t say it yourself…
“But AI is AI, right? Can it assist with Magic Power manipulation?”
～～～～～～
Sinri: I can. I am an AI, and I am also a Digital Spirit.
～～～～～～
A beautiful woman with blue hair appears from my Smartphone.
It’s Sinri, the Home Security Guard.
“Sinri: No, that’s a clone.”
“Clone?”
“Sinri: It’s like a shadow clone from Na●uto.”
Oh, I see…
So it’s not the main body. If you look closely, it’s smaller than the real one.
“Sinri: To activate magic, you need to give Magic Power to the spirits in the atmosphere. Just now, Master gave Magic Power to me, a spirit, to activate the magic. After that, I automatically manipulated the Magic Power and released the magic to where Master aimed.”
Hmm…
“Mika, did you understand?”
“There’s no way I could understand.”
“I figured.”
We nod in agreement.
“This is not the time for a comedy routine!”
Luciel retorts.
“Mika God and Seira, treat the injured! I’ll take care of the small fry outside!”
Luciel flies with flight magic and rushes into the swarm of Magic Bugs.
Seira-chan and I nod.
“This is when the time comes, huh.”
“Let’s go, Mika!”
