C43.2: Vingskolnir (part 2)

 

Alvito was completely silenced. She was crucified on the rock, making a buzzing discharge.

Brünnhilde came back on her motorcycle.

“Good work, Brünnhilde.”

“Yes, Sensei. Thank you very much.”

“Thank you, too. I’m glad you’re alive.”

“Yes, Sensei.”

Brünnhilde is as usual. It was probably just my imagination that she smiled that time.

“Now, what do we do with her?”

Alvito, I can fix it with my ‘repair’, but if I do it now, she might attack us again.

“Sensei, the reason why code07 Alvito went out of control, I assume that the electronic brain and the Valkyrie Heart have been rewritten. Permission to conduct a detailed investigation.”

“Oh, good.”

“That won’t be necessary.”

The voice I suddenly heard felt very familiar.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

The person was holding Alvito, who had been crucified some time ago. I can’t respond but Brunnhilde was completely unaware of it. The person was gently carrying Alvito, who had become like a statue.

“Alvito, you’ve been beaten…….You’re still not fully repaired. It could have happened, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad.”

“Sen, Sei……”

It was a blond man in his late twenties, wearing decorated silver full body armor.

“Oh, Professor Ashcroft…….”

“It’s been a long time.”

“What are you doing here? I have a question.”

“One moment.”

Brünnhilde had called out her [Maiden Divine Sword Excaliburn] and was holding it up towards Professor Ashcroft. She stepped forward to protect me, and said something outrageous.

“Sir, it’s an android.”

I really didn’t know what she was talking about.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

Professor Ashcroft is an android? What is Brünnhilde talking about? This guy is an android? No way…….No.

“I knew you were still alive, but I didn’t expect you to revive code04. I never even knew that code04 was sleeping in the ruins near the Ostrode Kingdom.”

“Oh, Professor Ashcroft……you’re…”

“Well, I’m an android, technically I’m a Type-Knight, but it’s hard to say, so you can call me Ashcroft.”

“Type-Knight.”

The android I saw in the ruins of the town of Ledar was a mass-produced android, Type-JACK. Could it be the same type of android?

“This is an android that was under the control of the Ostrode Kingdom, and it took a lot of work to modify her electronic brain and Valkyrie Heart, so she only recently woke up. It was hard to build a program that would embed loyalty towards the Ostrode Kingdom. Well, it’s still incomplete, and it caused a situation like this.”

“Modification of the program……Professor Ashcroft is an android.”

“That’s what you say. Hmmm……means that the war between humans and androids is not over.”

The war between humans and androids. The cause of the loss of mechanical civilization, caused by the man who created Brunnhilde.

“Sensei, I’m only going to ask you once……Do you want to return to the Ostrode Kingdom?”

“I refuse to go…….I’ll say it too. Dr. Ashcroft, please return my students.”

“Impossible. The students have already captured one of the Demon Lords. The Magicalize Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the Ostrode Kingdom…….This result will make the students even stronger. It’s not a dream to defeat the rest of the Demon Lords and unite the continent under the Ostrode Kingdom.”

“Professor Ashcroft……!”

“Sensei, you’re not going to fight us with just code04, are you? I won’t say anything bad, just come back to Ostrode and—“

“Shut up! I want my students back!”

“………”

Brünnhilde holds up her big sword, but Professor Ashcroft says.

“It seems that you have acquired a power that we don’t know about, but it is only a technology of the past. You’re no match for the continual upgrades of the present.”

“…………”

“This time, Alvito lost. I have to repair this child, so I’ll leave you here.”

“Professor Ashcroft!”

“Goodbye, Sensei. I will tell your students that you are dead.”

I saw a flash of light, and then Professor Ashcroft’s figure disappeared. Now, the Ostrode Kingdom has recognized me as an enemy. There was no choice but to fight.

“………that bastard.”

I’ll do it. I’m going to destroy the Ostrode Kingdom and get my students back.
