Episode 481 Palmiro's Surveillance

Clarice Leandre, a class A magician in magical attire, came to Japan. From the airport, she went to Shibushi City and entered the Adventurers' Guild.

　When Clarice enters the Adventurers' Guild, the relaxed adventurers notice and a buzz spreads through the air.

Hey, isn't that Lady Clarice, the seventh-ranked Class A student?"

It's real. It's real."

　Clarice went to the counter and asked to see the branch manager. However, the branch manager was out. Maria, who accepted the request, apologetically informed her that he was not available.

Then perhaps you could take me to Dr. Grimm's house.

　Hearing this, Maria consulted with her seniors and decided to guide them.

　Maria and Clarice called Grimm and then headed to the Green Pavilion.

This is Dr. Grimm's house.

　Maria rings the doorbell. Then she feels something running toward her and stops at the gate.

Who are you?"

Maria from the Adventurers' Guild.

　The gate opened and they entered. Clarice looks surprised to see a cat-human shadow puppet.

Who are these shadow puppets?"

Security shadow puppets.

　Clarice was given an entrance permit. ＜The fact that it was not an entry permit with a "repulsion (water)" characteristic on it, but an entry permit, meant that Clarice was allowed to enter the building temporarily.

　Maria returned to the Adventurers' Guild after her guiding duties were finished, and Clarice entered the mansion. Then Toshizo came out and showed her to the workroom.

　　　◆◆◇◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◆◆◇◆◆

Welcome to the Green Pavilion.

　I say hello, and Clarice smiles and greets me back.

What is it about Lady Emilian that made Clarice come all the way to Japan?"

　Clarice shook her head in denial.

I'm here today about Palmiro.

　Emilian had apparently hired someone to follow Palmiro and his gang after they returned to France.

Palmyro seems to have teamed up with four adventurers to dive into the Mycenaean dungeons of Greece and take on the giant dragon Bahamut."

　Clarice stared at me.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

You're not surprised?"

I was thinking that maybe they would take on Bahamut."

　I told him that if he defeated the giant dragon Bahamut solo, an entrance would open to a place called the "Room of Trials," and that he might be able to become a god if he endured that ordeal.

'I see, the path to God. So Palmiro is serious about becoming a god?"

It appears so."

'However, that challenge appears to have failed. He came back with an escape ball. It seems he also lost his weapon in the battle with Bahamut."

It's Zamaamillo. But you never give up, do you?"

That's right; did you know that Goltsberg, the eighth-ranked Class A student, was bombed?"

　When I replied that I did not know, he told me. According to the findings of those hired by Emilian, Palmiro used his name to get Goltberg to do a job for him. But as it turned out, Goltberg was killed in the bombing. They said that some kind of trap had been set.

If it was a magical explosion, Goltberg would have noticed it, so I think it was a trap using a bomb. It seems that the object was Goltberg's own 'Brunach'."

　A bomb without a will would have leaked no killing intent, so Goltsberg would not have noticed it. Adventurers are professionals at fighting demons, and this kind of thing about human schemes is not their specialty.

　Toshizo brewed a pot of coffee and brought it to me.

Go ahead."

　He put the coffee in front of me and Clarice. Clarice was staring at Toshizo's face.

How many shadow puppets do you have?"

Fourteen bodies?"

　Clarice looks stunned.

Do you really need that much?"

Mostly security and butler shadow puppets."

I might want one of those butler shadow puppets."

Clarice will take care of the fabrication."

　Clarice, smiling happily, ordered one. The specifications are the same as Toshizo's, she said. She just wants the color to be cherry blossom.

I remember an organization called the Diaspora also kidnapping wise men. Could it be related to Palmiro?"

　When I asked, Clarice tilted her head.

The diaspora abducts the wise.

new

The goal was to kill the Palmillo, but since Palmillo seems to think it's okay to kill him, I think it's too early to assume that it's the same organization."

　I thought Clarice had come to Japan to give me information about Palmiro, but she says no. He said he came to put in the all-purpose recovery medicine because he got the unchanging bottle.

　The conversation ended and Clarice left.

'Did Palmiro get his "Brunach"? Will he try Bahamut again?"

I think I will do it," he said. However, you will have to train yourself first.

　Days have passed since then. Clarice informed me that Palmiro was diving and working out in the dungeon.

'I see, so you realize you can't win with weapons alone. You are not stupid."

　Palmiro will be in training for the time being. He cannot be re-trained in a short period of time.

　I went around to magic academies and art colleges to recruit people to set up a shadow puppet workshop. As a result, it was decided to hire five living wizards and two aspiring designers.

　Management has brought in a person with sales know-how, who was introduced to us by Branch Manager Kondo. However, the workshop will not officially begin activities until April.

　With the Emilians watching over Palmiro, I began to think about creating magic for the first time in a long time. I decided to create an enhanced version of "Auto Shield.

　The reason is that the "auto-shield" is no longer effective against the stronger demons encountered in the advanced dungeons. For this reason, I asked Arisa to help me analyze the "auto-shield.

　As a result, we learned that "Auto-Shield" uses its "electromagnetic wave sensing" property to detect enemy attacks. Since electromagnetic waves include infrared rays and visible rays, it is said that "AutoShield" is moving by sensing enemy attacks using these waves.

　＜In addition to electromagnetic wave sensing, it seems to incorporate a "procedure control" and "computing core. Of course, the automatic defense function used in the "procedure control" was also built in.

　The only thing I couldn't figure out was how to maintain the nine D-particle shields for an extended period of time. So I decided to substitute a coating of magic power.

We need four just for the properties of the D-particle secondary mutation."

　Until now, the limit has been to combine three characteristics into one with the function. However, since I have continued to train according to the "Interference Force Training Method" and the "Spirit Training Method," I feel that it is possible to use four of them.

　I started up the wise man system and checked the new magic under development. Then, using the function, I try to put together , , , and into one.

　There was considerable resistance, but we managed to organize them into one and give them to the new magic.

Success."

'Congratulations. It was worth it to keep working out steadily.

　Metis congratulates me on my success. This expands the range of magic that can be created.

　This magic is called "Absorb Shield," meaning a shield that absorbs attacks. It is a magic that adds the property of to "Auto Shield". However, since a coating of magic power is also added, the D-particle shield looks a little reddish, so we call it the D-particle red shield.

　The "Absorb Shield" can be mastered atmagic level 15.
