chapter 10
10 – Chapter 3. Readymade Pilot – 2

Cold metal entered his mouth. The human in front of me was just looking down at me with cold eyes.
“Come on, tell me if you are sick.”
“Aah (it hurts)”
“If you speak, your tongue hurts.”
What do you mean?
Now I was lying in the bright light with my mouth wide open and trembling in fear.
The fear derived from the memory of ‘dentistry’ slowly rose, and a person who was supposed to be a doctor who was rummaging through my mouth pulled out one of my teeth.
“Ouch!”
Pulling out raw teeth! Not even anesthetized.
Still, it wasn’t as painful as I thought. Is it because it’s a spirit?
People gathered to see the tooth pulled out.
“This is a real high-purity [Healstone].”
“Erif-sama’s first magic stone… …. This is precious.”
“hehehe”
Someone please quarantine these people somewhere.
Manastones are usually mined in mines, but it is said that there are cases where they grow in the body of high-ranking spirits.
Hearing that Master Mercy and Arumanan’s teeth are being used as high-purity manastones, it is said that they pulled out my own teeth.
Are you crazy?
The slender girl’s mouth was forcibly opened, and a large metal implement…….
I think that an international government protection organization should be established as soon as possible.
“It is said that if you leave the magic stone that grows inside your body, it will grow and protrude afterward. That is why the Master, who existed since the time when dentistry was not very developed in the past, was once nicknamed ‘Orc Tooth’ because of the fangs that protrude out of his mouth.”
It’s like a wisdom tooth.
Still, you should reflect on the fact that you pulled out someone else’s teeth without a word.
I got angry, so the researchers and doctors apologized.
“I’m so sorry! During the inspection, this one came out too much…….”
“Lice?”
Come to think of it, every time I ate, one molar would get stuck. Was that guy
“Yes. Spirits say that if you consume more nutrients than necessary, the magic stones in your body will grow. Princess… …. Erif-sama has just arrived, so it must have been just the original lice, but in the future, you have to be careful so you won’t have to pull your teeth often.”
It’s a bit stingy, but I’m sure my teeth grew that way in a few weeks.
Looking back, it seems that the teeth were long from the beginning.
Moreover, from what I heard, it seemed that the spirit’s teeth continued to grow even after careful management. Is it a shark
Anyway, I eat a lot, but I don’t eat it, but I pull it out.
Then, I will satisfy today’s food cravings.
“Then let’s start the research!”
When the manastone extraction was finished, the researchers took me to a large room.
The room, enclosed on all sides by a strong barrier, was almost half the size of the playground.
I think the reason why the lab building is so big is because of this space.
I was standing alone in the room, and suddenly I heard a voice.
“It is an honor to participate in the first study. Let’s start with a simple startup test. Mr. Erif. No, erift. Let your body descend.”
It was the sound of a speaker on the wall. At the researcher’s instructions, he placed his hand on the pendant on his neck.
“[[Dissynchronize mobile device]]”
When I said the ignition key, I instinctively realized that I was able to summon the main body.
A sufficient amount of mana flowing into the atmosphere, a space secured as needed, and a place that I perceive as ‘safe’.
Holding the pendant and pointing his hand to the appropriate floor, the body appeared like a mirage.
It was nice to see a silver dragon head after a long time.
After examining the main body for scratches and dust, I opened the door and went inside, sat in the cockpit and fastened the seat belt.
「Erif. Are you able to control it?”
The signals in my head confuse me, going back and forth between ‘possible’ and ‘impossible’. After concentrating for a moment, the helicopter itself seemed to be able to operate without much difficulty.
However, it was still insufficient to bring out all the performance of the aircraft, such as attack and defense using weapons or magic. I had the knowledge, but I didn’t have the strength to implement it.
First of all, I asked if I could control it, so I guess I should say yes.
But I didn’t think the researchers would listen to me just because I was muttering to myself here.
The next instruction from the researcher was given as the window was slightly lowered, arms stretched out and thumbs up.
「Show me the basic controls.」
Looking at it earlier, the ceiling here was quite high, but it was not enough for the helicopter to float.
When I came out to tell the truth, the ceiling was slowly opening. After watching the condition of the ceiling for a while, he returned to the helicopter and sat down.
In my head, things I had to do one after another came up. Turn on the switches, check the level, and pull the lever slightly to turn the rotor quietly.
From now on, it was the realm of the spirits.
Currently, the pilot and spirit of this helicopter was me.
Originally, when a person who had learned how to fly controls it, the spirit transmits the command to each driving unit of the weapon, but as a humanoid spirit, I was able to move the helicopter by myself.
However, I still couldn’t do complicated maneuvers well. I still haven’t mastered the control stick in my hand.
As I moved left, right, forward, backward, up, and down, I slowly got used to the instrument I had been playing for a long time, as if I was getting used to it, and soon I was able to move in the direction and speed I wanted.
The rotor spins at a terrifying speed, but barely audible. I could feel the little spirits attached to the rotor.
I could hear the small chattering spirits from all directions. As I listened, I heard a voice saying it was an honor to have you.
After that, I went all the way to the opposite wall and then fell back and stepped in the air left and right…….
I had fun controlling it for an hour.
“Erif. The body will be left here for interpretation of the relic.”
Kirst added to the researcher’s words.
“If you are uneasy, activate the movable device. It can be tracked, and it can be summoned if it is empty, so you don’t have to lose the movable device.”
“What if I lose it?”
“You can create any number of movable devices, so come back here and synchronize them.”
So, the only thing you need to do is to lose the movable device and take the body, this was the saying.
At the military academy in the middle of the kingdom’s capital, it’s safe to say that something like that won’t happen.
Uh, but if you lose the body, you can’t just do anything, right?
When I asked such a question by connecting the words with difficulty, I got a honey night from Kirst.
On Sunday, she and Czermia stopped by the school’s bookstore to buy books.
As I was reading a children’s fairy tale, Czermia chuckled and laughed.
Well, why. It’s a tragic scene where a knight riding a road runner rushes towards the dragon.
『Roadrunner’s four-cylinder engine made a loud noise and ran towards the dragon at a speed of 30 meters per second. When the knight unloaded the lance loaded with the auror, the dragon leapt and flew into the sky, and then burned the knight with the breath.”
And in the next chapter, a human with a long spear was engulfed in flames from a dragon floating in the air and closed the storybook.
This is not a fairy tale!!
Reading something like this only fills my heart with scars.
“Did you have fun?”
“No.”
I just feel bad for nothing.
After buying some easier reference books than Chermia bought, I left her bookstore. Whether she was studying or not, she would never be expelled from school.
It is said that graduation is hard, but I am a free pass no matter what.
Still, Armion and Kirst have a face, and they have a promise with her grandmother, so I’ll have to study.
As she returned to the dormitory with an envelope containing Han Ah-reum’s book in both hands, she met the male protagonist of manners.
“Oh.”
“You… ….”
The male protagonist and Chermia had a snowball fight as soon as they met.
After Chermia turned her head, she tried to take me into the dormitory, but she sprinted in front of him because once she had to name her with the main character.
“Erif Cruel.”
As soon as I said my name and held out her hand, the male protagonist looked at me with a blank expression for a moment, then smiled slightly and took her hand.
“It’s Shane Grafol. Is Erif a freshman too? Please.”
“Yes. Please.”
Now that I have made a clear statement, I have to go.
When I got back to packing my bags and approached Chermia, her expression was a little unsatisfying.
“Erif. Is it that guy, is it me?”
What is this again?
The reason I made a common name with that guy was for observation. As the main character, there will be incidents and accidents around him. Same goes for Cermia.
As a matter of fact, the incidents experienced by the protagonists are guaranteed to be fun unless they are directly involved.
In other words, it can be said that I met Shane in advance for my own enjoyment.
It was difficult to sublimate my complex and subtle thoughts into words, so the interpreter’s bracelet had a huge accident.
“He’s enjoyable.”
Hey. How did my pleasure get translated like this?
Fortunately, it seems that Chermia was too young to comprehend the dark meaning of the word.
He seemed to understand when he looked around saying that he was a freshman in roughly the same way.
Phew. Thank god. The moment she turned around, Shane, whose face was ripped open, caught her eye.
“I, I am not like that!”
Shane ran away with an unknown cry.
This precocious guy.
“Why is he like that again?”
There was no answer to Zermia’s question.
I brought the book to her room, ate dinner, and looked over her uniform tomorrow.
It was a neatly ironed uniform for the duke’s family to wear at the entrance ceremony, but the day before yesterday, when I pulled out the clothes from the hallway, they got wrinkled.
There must be an iron somewhere.
She went to the room next to her to ask Chermia, but the door was locked. It looked like it was vacant.
It’s a little bit too dependent on Zermia, and she’s a freshman too, so she doesn’t seem to know where it is, so she decided to ask the homeroom teacher.
The main hall on the first floor of the women’s dormitory.
Three or three sisters of various ages were walking around in light clothes.
With a moderate eyebrow, he turned to the headmaster.
“Hello.”
“Erif student? What’s happen?”
“I am looking for an iron.”
When I told the teacher who looked like her kind grandmother about her business, she covered her mouth slightly and smiled happily.
“Student Erif. Is it because you want to iron your clothes?”
“Yes.”
As she pulled out the uniform she was carrying on a hanger, the superintendent called a senior passing by.
“Student Muria. Teach this child how to take care of her clothes.”
A senior with a lively impression responded to the superintendent’s words like a tense soldier.
“Four! All right!”
Wow. He looks like a full-fledged soldier because he had some time at the military academy. Can I be like that too? I don’t really want to do that though.
I was led to the second floor by the senior. She looked around her for a moment and then whispered to her senior.
“Hey. Are you very brave?”
“Yes?”
“Ah, freshmen still do not know the identity of the headmaster. In the future, don’t talk too lightly to the headmaster. If there’s something you don’t know, you can grab someone passing by and ask. Oh. You haven’t introduced me yet.”
Senior Muria placed her hand on her chest and leaned her back slightly.
“My name is Muria Esche. This year, I will be entering the 4th year of the [Warrior class], And I am aiming to graduate safely in the next year.”
Senior Muria was tall, and she was a typical athletic type with no fat on her body.
I heard that the warrior class is a class that educates people who fight directly physically, so to speak, like special warriors.
I bowed deeply and greeted.
“Erif Cruel. I am a freshman.”
“Cruel? Do you know Kaon?”
“Yes. Cousin.”
My words brightened Muria-senpai’s face. She seemed to be an acquaintance with Kaon.
“Kaon was the first year student representative last year. I’m also the 3rd year representative, so I know a little bit.”
“Aha.”
Kaon must have been a bigger player than expected.
There was a high possibility that he was forced to take on the role of representative simply because of the name of the duke.
“I don’t care about the title of the family here. All students are equal. If you are caught while threatening your opponent while talking about the house, it will be a penalty, so treat everyone equally. You don’t seem like that kind of kid, but I’m telling you just in case you don’t know.”
I shook my head without saying a word. After all, I didn’t know much about the title of nobility or interests, so I guess I’ll just have to live my life like myself.
“That’s right. You said you were looking for a place to take care of your clothes?”
“Yes.”
I was still holding the uniform hanging on the hanger. With an apologetic expression, Muria grabbed my arm and led me to a door.
As a habit, I read the letters on the door and went down.
“Laundry, yarn?”
My rough pronunciation and uneasy tone and the senior watching it.
“Um… …. Did Erif ever live abroad?”
“Yes.”
She showed a peek at the bracelet that was attached to her wrist. The senior recognized the interpreter bracelet right away.
“Oh my God. Is this an interpreter bracelet? As a duke, you must have a lot of money.”
By the way, it was something that Curst gave me.
“Is this expensive?”
“Well then! Magical tools are all expensive, but things that can be translated on the spot like this will be extremely expensive.”
As the senior sang Expensive Expensive, the bracelet looked luxurious.
Looking at the bracelet with sparkling eyes, the senior asked a surprise question.
“By the way, what country did Erif live in?”
What country was it? I told you to speak up when Kirst makes excuses.
I can’t remember the names of the countries here because I’m not familiar with them.
He roughly raised his hand and pointed to one side.
“Stir… ….”
The senior who turned his head following my hand grinned and ruffled my hair. It was a strangely familiar feeling.
“Ahahahaha. Yo guy joking around.”
Fortunately, my senior didn’t ask me more about where I was from.
When I entered the laundry room, I was surprised to see one more time in a larger space than I had imagined, and one more time to see Samhal close to 30 of the dozens of female students walking around in underwear.
As long as she was in the shape of a girl, she didn’t even have to cover her eyes, so I looked closely.
“Everyone is busy preparing clothes because school starts tomorrow.”
Senior Muria said hello to people she knew, and she took a seat in an empty place.
“Do you know how to iron clothes?”
She frankly shook her head because she didn’t know.
“I’ll show you one more time.”
After she placed some of the red stones in the box next to her on a flat, hollow stone plate, she had a strange feeling when her senior closed her eyes.
It was [Magic Reaction].
The senior began to straighten the folds of her uniform with familiar hand movements.
“In our dormitory, I use an iron that is used to infuse magic into magic stones to train my magic like this. Can’t you handle magic?”
Dori-dori
“In my memory, I think I learned it in a common class in the first semester of the first year. Will you learn soon? Alright, that’s it.”
The senior put the magic stone back into the box, picked up the uniform, and applied it to my body.
“Yes. It will suit you well.”
I laughed along with that satisfying smile.
When he received the uniform and bowed his head as a sign of gratitude, the senior clapped his hand.
If you were like me, you would have told me it was annoying, but you are a really good senior.
When she returned to her room, Chermia had returned from her bath.
“By the way, doesn’t Erif take a bath?”
“It’s okay.”
Since I came home from the day before yesterday, wouldn’t it be okay? In the first place, the spirit does not accumulate waste and does not sweat. I just wash it off because there’s dirt on it.
However, it seemed that I had to take a bath every now and then as a show-off.
But, except for the washbasin where you can wash easily, everything is shared.
It’s a women’s bath……. You are testing my will.
Not noticing that Chermia sniffed my body, she fell into deep thought.
“Erif smells sweet.”
“Yes?”
She turned her head to and fro and tried to sniff her, but to her surprise, she didn’t smell anything. All that was the faint smell of food on his clothes.
Chermia seems to have a nice nose.
“Ah, the time has come already. Good night. You can’t be late for the entrance ceremony, so go to bed early.”
“Yes. Good night.”
Chermia went back to the room next to her, and alone, I checked her uniform hanging on her hanger one last time and put the notebook and pen I bought from her bookstore in her pocket.
Finally, tomorrow is the entrance ceremony.
I hope that I can spend an easy student life without being noticed as much as possible.
