Chapter 70: Chapter 58: The Prodigy Pilot
In the laboratory room of the 1st factory, Narumi stood with unwavering attention, fully engrossed in the words of the ancient scholar responsible for investigating the enigmatic large cube pearl. The room buzzed with the harmonious symphony of machinery, accompanied by the intermittent flicker of magic fluorescent lights overhead.
This large cube pearl, was meticulously extracted from the brain of the 2nd colossal biomachine monster wreckage, thanks to the expertise of the dedicated transport team. It arrived here safely, unscathed, a week ago, ready for comprehensive analysis.
As the ancient scholar dived into the intricacies of the investigation, Narumi absorbed every word. "Much like the diamond eyes from the 3rd colossal biomachine monster," the ancient scholar continued, "this large cube pearl possesses an extraordinary ability to absorb and transmute a myriad of energy forms. However, it boasts an additional and remarkable capability. It serves as a formidable sonar and radar system, granting it the power to detect and track objects and movements within its vicinity. Furthermore, its range of influence spans a staggering 25 kilometers, enabling seamless communication transmission and reception."
Deeply impressed by the ancient scholar's groundbreaking achievements, Narumi couldn't contain his excitement and admiration. "Your investigation is truly remarkable! We must harness the full potential of this large cube pearl by integrating it into the core of our magic communication navigator system, which will be installed within the large mobile floating fortress, 'Noa'."
Filled with fervor and determination, the ancient scholar's eyes gleamed with a newfound purpose. "Rest assured, I shall pour my heart and soul into the development of the finest magic communication navigator system. I will leave no stone unturned!" Narumi's voice rang with genuine concern as he offered a gentle reminder. "Do your best, my friend, but do not push yourself too hard. Remember to take breaks and care for your well-being."
With their discussion coming to a close, Narumi bid farewell to the ancient scholar and made his way back to his workshop. Stepping into the familiar space, he approached his workdesk and activated the control panel. As the room hummed with pulsating energy, a small-scale 3D holographic projection of his giant mech, "Avalon," materialized before him.
With great anticipation, Narumi meticulously examined the newly acquired performance parameters of Avalon. The fusion of the obsidian heart, extracted from the heart of the 1st colossal biomachine monster wreckage, into Avalon's magic reactor promised an unprecedented level of power and capability.
"With the magnificent output of the fusion magic reactor, the floating function of Avalon had become remarkably stable, the fuel energy consumption also fell back within an acceptable range." Narumi meticulously analyzed his beloved giant mech, observing the seamless integration of the secondary Proton Laser Blade into the left hand. A glimmer of excitement crossed his face as he realized that Avalon could now wield dual swords, opening up the possibility of a formidable dual sword style.
However, doubts gnawed at him, and he mumbled to himself, "But that doesn't necessarily mean my fighting abilities have significantly improved..." As a magic engineer, Narumi lacked the utmost confidence in wielding dual swords, especially in aerial combat. because of that, he rely on cooperative strategies and tactical planning as much as possible.
Lost in his thoughts, Narumi was startled by a voice beside him. "Wonderful." He turned to find a mysterious small girl with euphemistic white hair and expressionless green eyes standing there. "Princess Ravine! Why are you here?" Narumi exclaimed, taken aback by the unexpected guest who appeared without prior notice.
"Try together," Princess Ravine responded with an expressionless face, ignoring Narumi's question. Her intent was clear—to try something together. Narumi guessed her intention and asked, "Perhaps you'd like to try out the newly upgraded Avalon with me?" Princess Ravine nodded, her expressionless eyes filled with a hint of mystery and anticipation.
"I see. That's great. Um, can you change into a pilot suit on your own? We have a size 3S for Seraphina, so I think it will fit you too..." Narumi asked, but Princess Ravine shook her head, her expression resolute. "That mean..." despite being younger than Seraphina, Narumi couldn't help but feel a twinge of reluctance to assist her with such a task, considering her status.
Contrary to his hesitation, Princess Ravine uttered a single word, "Good," and firmly took Narumi's hand, leading him into the changing room without any sign of hesitation. With swift movements, she unbuttoned her green dress and her underwear, letting it gracefully slide off her small body and fall onto the floor, standing before Narumi in her beautiful naked figure. Her gaze met his, silently conveying her trust and request for assistance in donning the pilot suit.
Narumi, taken aback by the unexpected display, felt a mix of surprise and admiration for Princess Ravine's confidence. He understood that this was a moment of vulnerability and trust, a gesture that surpassed formalities and protocols. With utmost care and respect, Narumi helped her into the pilot suit, ensuring every strap was fastened snugly, his touch gentle yet purposeful.
Once Princess Ravine was fully dressed in the pilot suit, her demeanor transformed into one of unwavering determination and readiness. Narumi, regaining his composure, swiftly changed into his own pilot suit and guided her into the cockpit of Avalon. The atmosphere crackled with a palpable sense of unity and purpose as they prepared to embark on their testing mission together. Little did they know that this unexpected joint testing would unravel a chain of unforeseen consequences, shaping the outcome of the imminent battle in ways they couldn't yet comprehend.
Several hours had passed since their testing of Avalon, and Princess Ravine had returned to the guest quarters. Narumi, left alone in the workshop, sat on a soft sofa, his mind buzzing with shock as he analyzed the data from the test. "This result is truly unexpected. Who would have known that a prodigious pilot potential was hiding within her?" Narumi's voice trailed off as he sank deeper into the sofa, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle upon him.
Lost in his thoughts about the day's testing, Narumi was suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Valentia. She burst into the workshop, her face brimming with excitement and urgency. "Master Narumi, we've just received news! The 5th colossal biomachine monster has attacked the mine city of Elsummer Kingdom two days ago."
Narumi's eyes widened, a mixture of concern and determination reflecting in his gaze. He rose swiftly from the sofa, his gesture mirroring his newfound sense of purpose. "Just as Christina predicted, the attack occurred in the exact same place. We must prepare for battle immediately. We cannot afford to waste a single moment."
Valentia nodded, her own sense of urgency matching Narumi's. "Right away, Master Narumi. I will gather everyone and ensure they are assembled without delay." With that, Narumi and Valentia sprang into action, their shared determination fueling their every move. They knew that the fate of the people in Elsummer Kingdom hung in the balance, and they were resolved to protect it at all costs.
