Pursuit 2

"...So, you're not a different person who changed your appearance or disguised yourself with magic, you're not a human?"

"Yes…. You can think of it as a type of Golem, created by God in the image of Mile-sama. The one controlling and moving it is, as Miles-sama says, 'a magical fairy from a magical land', but I... therefore, I have no intention of stealing Mile-sama's position or pretending to be someone else to manipulate people ...or rather, we are created in such a way that we cannot think or do such things..." (Mile001)

"..." (All WT + Mariette)

 

Mile001 explained that it was created by God, not Mile.

...It's not a lie.

It was the Creator, not Mile, who created the nanomachines, and even though Mile was skillfully guided to instruct Mile001 to be created, the nanomachines were actually created by the Creator, so it's not wrong to say that.

Besides, it's not like nanomachines couldn't tell lies.

In order to explain something in a way that even lower creatures could understand, it was not only necessary to use analogies and simplify explanations, but also to sometimes distort the facts (mix in lies).

"…………" (All WT + Mariette)

 

"So, where is Adele-san now?"

Yes, that was the problem.

"If everyone in 'Crimson Vow' is missing, then of course she must be with them."

"……" (Mile001)

After thinking about it for just a few milliseconds, Mile001 (Nanomachine) had an idea.

Of course, this was an agreement that had been reached through discussions with nanomachines around the world through the central command center.

 

"As you might have guessed, she's on another continent with the rest of the Crimson Vow. Mile-sama and the members of Crimson Vow are on another continent, but unknown about their activities. She wants to live a leisurely life as an ordinary girl and an ordinary hunter... pff!" (Mile001)

Then, they couldn't help but gush about Mile001.

"Pffft!!" (All WT + Mariette)

...And then everyone bursted out.

 

"E-everyone, e-excuse Adele-san…k-kukuku…" (Marcella)

"M-Marcella-sama, don't laugh so much, to A-Adele..., kukuku" (Aureana(?))

"Aahhahhahhaa~!!" (Everyone)

Everyone, including Mile001, burst out laughing...


"…Well, that’s how it is…" (Mile001)

Mile001 had finished the general explanation.

"…………" (All WT + Mariette)

And then there's the "Wonder Trio" and Mariette who are in a good mood.

 

"…So, Adele-san abandoned the Wonder Trio (us) and eloped with the guys from Crimson Vow?" (Marcella)

"Ah, no, nothing like that..." (Mile001)

"Did you say that she abandoned us in dire situation and exiled to another continent?"

"No, she didn't abandon this country..." (Mile001)

"I will never forgive you..." (All WT + Mariette)

"Gyaaaaaaaaa~!!" (Mile001)


Then, a question "What would happen if this became known to the various countries, temple powers, and the general public?" was raised as a result of a review meeting that was extremely threatening...

 

"Then, is it okay if we keep this matter between us?" (Marcella)

Monica, Aureana, Mariette, and Mile001 nodded deeply at the words of Marcella.

"Then, we will put into effect the terms of our earlier agreement as soon as possible. First, we, Wonder Trio, returned to our country and involved Princess Morena to prepare for the operation. When we are ready, 001 summons an ancient dragon called Kragon and orders it to carry us away. Mariette waited until she graduated from the school and then worked as the head of the temple. She thereby escapes from her relationship talk, and she also becomes 001's assistant. ...Isn't that good?" (Marcella)

"Yes!" (Other 3)

"……yes……" (Mile001)

 

Compared to the energetic Monica, Aureana, and Mariette, Mile001's response was weak.

...Well, that couldn't be helped...

Normally, nanomachines would not be allowed to do such arbitrary things based on their own judgment.

However, now, under the orders of Mile, who had authority level 7, they were fulfilling the role of "Mile's substitute".

That meant "Doing what Mile would have done on your behalf," and "You must do your best to avoid being discovered as a fake."

...If so, this was within the permissible range.

Of course Mile would have done that...

 

Therefore, for nanomachines who could only take over the use of magic by humans and other creatures, being able to literally move Mile001 (Golem) as their own limbs and participated in social activities as a member of human being, which was considered boring for Mile, was fun and interesting.

...If it's normal.

 

Mile's impersonation, which had been completely confident, was seen through at a glance, twice in a row.

It was a total loss to the nanomachines that were in charge of controlling Mile001 at that time.

And then there's the feeling of defeat at having been forced to use the item box by someone with authority level 1 due to being coerced into being a lowly person with only authority level 2...and feeling sorry for Mile.

It couldn't be helped that the nanomachines in charge of Mile001 were disappointed...


"Well, what if I go to another continent and have friendships with the royal family there?" (Marcella)

Princess Morena's eyes widen at Marcella's words.

"Well, what on earth is that...?" (Morena)

"Yes, this is an oracle from an angel of God!" (Marcella)

"…Details!!" (Morena)

 

Princess Morena heard the details of the story from the Wonder Trio...

"...It's here. My bright future has arrived~!!" (Morena)

 

3 days later.

A piece of paper was placed on the desk in Princess Morena's private room.

What was written on it was...

 

"I'm going on a goodwill visit to another country. I'll be back in a few days."

 

Then, along with Princess Morena, her formal dress, accessories, and other items disappeared...
