Legend of the Far East Savior Volume 1 Chapter 4 part 2

 
2.
 
In the end, the information I gave to Isotani-san was limited to what was already known, what was about to be made public, and what Mogami-san said “can be disclosed, or rather, please promote it.”
 
Specifically: – I ended up on the battlefield because the military wanted data on the rare new model I was piloting, and Mogami-san wanted to sell their product to the military. Their interests aligned, and since I was the only test pilot, I had no choice but to go.
 

  • I became a special lieutenant because they needed to give me a rank, as they couldn’t send a student to the battlefield without one, even if I was the only test pilot.
     
  • I achieved surprisingly great results because of the machine’s performance and perfect preparation, but for now, my ability to fight continuously is considered low.
     
  • Tests will be conducted to improve my continuous combat ability.
     
  • For these reasons, it’s difficult for classmates with standard or beast-type machines to enter the battlefield.

 
Finally, I gave her data on the power of the 120mm gliding cannon, the effects of incendiary bombs, and the monsters I defeated.
 
Whether this information was worth 500,000 yen is unclear, but according to Isotani-san, her 6th Division has few records of battles with large monsters, and it takes time to get the latest information from the 2nd Division. She said just the monster data alone was worth over 500,000 yen.
 
It might seem like I leaked information, but apparently that’s not the case.
 
The 2nd Division wants to release the information, but they need to edit it into proper reports to distribute to each division. However, they’re too busy to do the editing, so they can’t release it.
 
Therefore, if the recipient is okay with “unedited” information, it’s fine to share it. In fact, they want it distributed to each division as soon as possible.
 
I felt a bit conflicted about taking money for this, but if the 2nd Division wants to share information across factions, Mogami-san wants to show off their new model’s performance, and Isotani-san is satisfied with the information she received, I have no complaints.
 
It turned out to be an unexpected windfall. Well, if there are side benefits like this, the battlefield isn’t so bad. I hope for more opportunities like this in the future.

Now, with my pocket warmed by Isotani-san’s generous “token of appreciation,” it’s after school.
 
Ever since Kyushu – even when I went home, took a bath, ate with my sister, slept, attended classes, and gave information to Isotani-san – I’ve been storing my machine in the magic crystal. Finally, it’s time to bring it out.
 
“Oh, you’re here.”
 
“Yes, thank you for having me.”
 
“Alright, bring it out quickly.”
 
“Understood.”
 
As I entered the special hangar, Mogami-san and his subordinates, who had been waiting for me, began preparations all at once.
 
These are trusted subordinates of Mogami-san, here to maintain the machine that had been updated inside my magic crystal.
 
To give them work to do, I quickly brought out the machine where I was told.
 
“It was tough keeping it stored while sleeping and during practical classes… but I guess it was necessary.”
 
As I said this and brought the machine out of the magic crystal, I felt the weight that had been pressing on me suddenly disappear.
 
“Phew~ That feels good!”
 
I felt like an athlete who had just taken off weights after strength training.
 
“…”
 
“Well then, I guess we’ll feedback the updates and then use the simulator… Hm? What’s wrong?”
 
The hangar suddenly fell silent as they looked at the machine I had brought out. I had expected a more exaggerated reaction to the return of their product that had proven itself in actual combat. Did something happen?
 
Curious, I followed their gaze, and of course, there was my machine. However, something felt off.
 
It was like asking Santa for a Gundm model for Christmas, but waking up to find an L-Gam model by your pillow instead. That kind of feeling.
 
(Hmm, what could it be?)
 
“It’s changed!” they all shouted.
 
As I was feeling an inexplicable itch on my back, Mogami-san and the others, who had rebooted, shouted loudly. Wait, it’s changed?
 
“Ah, I see!”
 
Only after they pointed it out did I finally realize the source of the strange feeling.
 
Originally, the hybrid type looked like a beast with a person riding on top, disguised by armor. But now, the machine looked more like something from a game I knew well.
 
Specifically, the legs had extended and become more mechanical – almost spider-like – and the upper body looked less like an oni’s body and more robotic.
 
It should have been obvious at a glance, so why didn’t I, the pilot, notice?
 
That’s simply because I had been imagining this machine to be like the one from that game from the beginning.
 
I had only trained in simulators, not the actual machine, and it was always being modified right beside me, so I never had a chance to see it.
 
The only time I actually saw the machine was when I stored it in the magic crystal after arriving in Kyushu. During battle, I only saw the enemy, and when I looked at myself, it was mainly just the front legs and arms holding weapons.
 
After returning, it was put in a special hangar, checked for wear on the drive parts, and immediately stored in the magic crystal.
 
In other words, I never had the chance to carefully examine the completed hybrid type.
 
So when I took it out of the magic crystal and it looked stylish and mechanical, I didn’t feel any sense of incongruity. Well, I have no defense if you say I don’t understand my own machine, but that’s that.
 
“The question isn’t how it used to be, but how it is now.”
 
“No, it’s a problem if it’s too different from before.”
 
“You’re absolutely right.”
 
I tried to gloss over it with force, but it didn’t work.
 
That’s disappointing, but understandable.
 
For Mogami-san, the hybrid type is a treasure made by betting the company’s future. It’s natural to want to complain a little if it suddenly changed in an unintended direction.
 
Thinking this, I was about to apologize for my flippant attitude, but I noticed something odd about their behavior.
