While heading to the burning department building of the Department of Holy Magic, I grasped the necklace hanging from my neck.
“Call. Ursch.”
This is a situation on the premises of the academy, so I had to figure out where Ursch-kun was. I wish he could be working in the dormitory if possible. . .
After the necklace lit up orange, I was connected to Ursch-kun and received a reply.
“Yes. This is Ursch. Isabella, what’s wrong?”
“Ursch-kun!! Where are you now?”
“I’m in the basement of the alchemy department now.”
“The basement of the alchemy department?!”
Oh my god!! I can’t believe he’s in the department building even though the class hasn’t started yet!!
“It seems that the last operating circuit of the anti-magician golem can’t be assembled well. The head of the department came early this morning to ask for cooperation. I’ve finished assembling the operating circuit of the golem itself, but the ground is on fire, so I’m waiting until it subsides.”
“Ursch-kun, are you okay now? I’m also on the premises, so I’ll go rescue you right away!!”
I was going to go rescue the Holy Magic Department, but if Ursch-kun is in a pinch, he is the priority! When I was about to go to the alchemy department first, I got a reply from Ursch-kun.
“Hmm. In case of emergency, I can escape with the transition device created by my mother, and it’s still comfortable to operate the magic item developed for home use, so it seems to be okay. I’m also devising a way to extinguish fire using items. . .”
“Wait!! Ursch-kun!! What is that necklace?! Is it a new magic item?! An item where you can talk to someone far away? It’s wonderful that it’s also a small thing that can be carried!! Please show me a little better.”
“Department Director. . . . I’m talking to my fiancée now, so don’t disturb me.”
The head of the department who was creating a golem with Ursch-kun broke into the middle of the conversation. From the atmosphere of the call destination, I think I afford it. And if the golem is completed, the fire will work out somehow.
“Then I’ll give priority to the fire extinguishing activities of the Holy Magic Department, but. . . are you okay? If it seems impossible, I’ll give priority to your fire fighting first.”
“Huh? Is the Holy Magic Department also on fire? The Holy Magic Department is bringing in injured people, so it’s supposed to be inviolable.”
Apparently, because the communication has been interrupted due to the fire, the students in the basement don’t know the situation on the ground.
“It’s not only the Holy Magic Department that’s burning, but also the staff building. Six buildings, including the staff building, burned up all at once. It seems to be a special flame that is hard to extinguish, and it seems that fire fighting is difficult at all of the fire sites.”
“Is that true?! Ursch-kun’s fiancée! If that’s the case, the Department of Holy Magic and the Department of Magic are tough. They have little way to deal with that situation.”
The head of the department responded before Ursch-kun. It’s true that people in the magician department and the magic warrior department seem to be able to break down the situation on their own, but those two departments will not be able to do it. I was also worried about the alchemy department, but they have weapons and recovery potions and magic tools, so they seem to be able to afford it.
“By the way, how is Isabella going to extinguish that hard-to-put out special flame? Isabella is still not good at suppressing the power of magic, so you can’t say that you’ll force it with magic.”
Yes. I’m not good at it. I might blow up the whole basement.
“It’s okay Ursch-kun. I won’t use any magic. I think the only thing I will use is strengthening my body.”
“Strengthening the body? . . . Oh, that’s what you mean. If that’s the case, Isabella is good at it. I’ll leave the Holy Magic Department to Isabella.”
It seems that’s all I have to Ursch-kun.
“Hey, I’d like to check with Ursch-kun, but I wonder if there’s only one golem.”
“There is only one that can be activated immediately. There are two more, but the essential operating circuit is untouched.”
“How long will it take to be able to move the other ones?”
“Hmm. It’s the seniors who are making it, so I don’t think it’s good for me, who’s not a proper student yet, to touch it on my own. So I guess it’s up the the seniors.”
That’s true. It wouldn’t be good for Ursch-kun to come out instead of the senior who made it. Ursch-kun has been asked to help with finishing the first one, but it’s different from assembling an operating circuit from scratch and helping with finishing.
“Department Director. How long do you think it will take to activate another one?”
“That’s right. . . I want to say it would take at least a month.”
A month. . . Well, that’s true. In a way, they program and check the movement patterns and robots one by one, so it would take a month. Mass production of artificial golems is difficult without a computer.
However, now, there is a ‘cheat’ in the alchemy department.
“By the way, if Ursch-kun does that, how long is it at the shortest?”
“If I have 30 minutes, I can manage. By the way, if I make it an operation type with a cockpit instead of an automatic type, it will take as little as 10 minutes to start up.”
It’s no longer a golem, it’s a giant robot, Ursch-kun. Don’t mix mobile warriors into the otome game. I already got a sense of special effects with the capture device of Schneiver & Co., but please don’t give the direction of this world to the shounen genre anymore. Please.
But the dean mercilessly shook off my wish.
“Operation golem with cockpit?! That’s great!! Ursch-kun, let’s go in that direction.”
Don’t go.
Who will ride it in the first place?
“Well, it may be completed, but won’t it take some time to raise the crew? It’s good to be able to do it, but there’s no point if you can’t move it.”
I will gently stop the director from going out of control.
“Hahaha!! Don’t worry, Ursch-kun’s fiancée. We can plunge Lewis Hunt into the cockpit!!”
Hahaha!! It’s not. Even though you say I don’t have to worry, I can only worry. Lewis senpai, who was suddenly selected as a giant robot pilot without any consultation, will also be confused. It will be more fleeting than usual.
But that’s enough. In case of emergency, I can do something about it.
“Then, I’ll leave that to you. I’ll take care of the Holy Magic Department first.”
“Yes, I got it. First of all, I’ll activate the first golem, so please take care of it until then.”
“Yes. Well then, Ursch-kun, be careful.”
“Yes. Isabella, be careful too.”
I stood in front of the burning Holy magic department building and ended the communication of the necklace.
Well, let’s start the fire fighting activity.
How to extinguish fires that cannot be extinguished by water magic and earth magic. To be honest, I think it will disappear if you make a water ball that can cover the whole building and sink it, but there aren’t many magicians who can put out that much water magic. I can do it, but I don’t want to use magic because it stands out and the scale of the magic is too big.
So, I would like to try the method of the firefighters in the Edo period. In the era when there was no water discharge pump, how did the firefighters put out the fire?
Yes, if you can break it, break it.
It seems that there was also a big water gun, but they couldn’t catch up with the fire, so it seems that the water gun was mainly used to prevent firefighters from getting burned with sparks.
And the actual way to extinguish the fire was the destruction of the building. Yes, destroy!! By the way, the nearby building under the wind will be destroyed even if it is not burned yet. Because it’s made of wood, in order to not spread the flame, let it meet the strength of the wind and break a few houses before burning. Yes, Destroy!!
I don’t know the reason, but it’s extremely annoying for the people who lived in an unburned house. Well, it can’t be helped.
In this case, the basement is important for all the department buildings, and the upper building is extra, so there will be no problem even if you break it down. In fact, if the problem is burning so much, it will break away.
No matter how hard the flame is to get rid of, I don’t think it will keep burning if there’s nothing to burn. If the momentum of the fire does not go out even if the building collapses completely, let’s think about it at that time.
For the time being, let’s destroy the burning building from the underground entrance so that people can leave.
She’s going to break it. . . Well good luck Isabella and I hope it works. Isabella really needs to learn how to control her magic output. I wonder if she will learn that at the academy. But at the same time, I don’t think there is a place large enough for her to practice. Maybe the desert? I really want Isabella to be able to use her magic. At this point we don’t really know just how strong she is or how much damage she can do if she goes all out.
