“Everyone, get on.”
I took Albatrosius out of the Spatial Storage and urged everyone to board.
“Hmm? Are you giving up?”
“I’m changing my approach.”
“Hmph? Well, I don’t mind.”
“Does Your Majesty have any idea what that is?”
“Yes. Probably.”
“Recently, anything mysterious seems to involve your master…”
“Mysterious, or rather, a world beyond your comprehension.”
The difference between a world with only magical technology, and even that is immature, and a world where magic and science are fused and research and development have continued for centuries. There’s no way you can understand it so easily.
I turned on Albatrosius’s communicator. Normal line, emergency line, and secure line. For each of them. I wonder if Mother will respond?
『This is Major Takeo Brooklyn, Unified Space Force, Sector 3800.』
“Hmm? What language is that?”
“Is this the one? Gianna?”
“I can read the characters, but not the language yet…”
『Answer, this is Major Takeo Brooklyn.』
『…The voice data does not match the Takeo Brooklyn (Major) in our database.』
An answer! The receiver’s time delay function is still alive! If they’ve been able to do regular maintenance every six months, maybe not as much time has passed as I thought!
『Something like a body modification. The DNA is different.』
『In that case, we cannot verify your identity.』
『We request identity verification via Magical Power wavelength.』
『In that case, you will have to relinquish all control of the Atmospheric Anti-Gravity Propulsion Vertical Takeoff Special Aviation Support Aircraft 『GX-331』 you are currently aboard to us. Is that acceptable?』
『Of course. There are locals on board, is that alright?』
『As long as they do not interfere with the Magical Power wavelength verification.』
『I’ll make sure they don’t. You have control.』
『I have control.』
Saying that much, I turned to the three of them.
“It seems to be related to me.”
““I figured.””
“Is there nothing you can’t do?”
“Well, this one is quite special even among those. I won’t be able to move from the chair for a while, so please don’t touch me.”
“Are you going to do something?”
“Just a little identity verification. It’s nothing weird.”
Saying that, I sat back in the driver’s seat.
The armrest of the seat was released, so I placed my hand on it and let a small amount of Magical Power flow.
『Mechanical camouflage and drug-induced camouflage were not detected. As a result of verification by Magical Power wavelength, we confirm that you are Major Takeo Brooklyn. Captain, long time no see.』
『It’s been a while, Amur Adonis. What’s the situation inside the ship?』
『The main engine modification work is about 20% complete. The Magic Drive Engine is fully operational. The Magic Core is 80% charged.』
The reason there was no Magical Power in this area was because it was being absorbed by this thing into the Magic Core. It was being collected during the semi-annual semi-startup, wasn’t it?
『Is atmospheric travel possible?』
『No problem.』
『Good, then Amur Adonis, activate. After floating into the sky, retrieve us, activate the Stealth Shade to eliminate external visibility, and head to my base.』
『Command confirmed from Captain Takeo Brooklyn. Extracting Captain’s base data from Atmospheric Anti-Gravity Propulsion Vertical Takeoff Special Aviation Support Aircraft 『GX-331』. Amur Adonis, activating in atmospheric navigation mode.』
In an instant, the earth pulsed. Amur Adonis’s giant body, buried in the desert, appeared on the ground.
“What the heck is that?!”
“So big!?”
“What a size!? Unbelievable!?”
Destroying the sand and bedrock on top and dropping it to the ground, it slowly floated up. The side loading bay opened.
『Atmospheric Anti-Gravity Propulsion Vertical Takeoff Special Aviation Support Aircraft 『GX-331』 will be accommodated.』
Albatrosius is still under Amur Adonis’s control. It moves and accommodates us on its own, so I can stay seated.
“H-hey, we’re going to be swallowed?”
“It’s okay. How should I put it? Just think of it as a bigger version of Albatrosius.”
“The scale is completely different! It’s bigger than my true form!?”
“That’s right. Oh, please don’t revert to your original form inside the ship? The passages are narrower than they look.”
The inside of the ship is large enough for races with large bodies to move around easily, but it is not large enough to accommodate Toragrus-sama’s true form.
Perhaps only the dock inside the loading bay and the Farm Area where you can do dairy farming?
『Captain, what about your companions?』
『Ah, take these three with us. They are a Spirit Race and a local human from this planet. Authorize boarding.』
『Understood. Also, it is currently in a semi-operational state, but…』
『You can use the Androids to their full extent. However, I don’t want it to be noticed too much from the outside, so switch from semi-operational to stealth operation.』
『Understood. Switching to stealth operation. Atmospheric Anti-Gravity Propulsion Vertical Takeoff Special Aviation Support Aircraft 『GX-331』 accommodation confirmed. Closing the loading bay. Stealth Shade, activated.』
Albatrosius safely stopped and the door opened. Ah, it’s been a while. I’ve really come home after a long time.
