The Sended's

Chapter (-): Matter of Manner

The shot from his weapon destroyed the three Orc ships in an instant, making them fall like the ship they wanted to save. It was truly a terrifying strength, perhaps on a level with Dwarves

Is he from the Dwarves?

"Done. The next mission, further confirmation of human potential,"

D-he's approaching

Me and the four people from my group immediately pulled out a knife as a form of intimidation towards him, but I'm sure this is actually useless.

He stopped right in front of me, watching us with his eyes

After I got this close I saw him, I still don't know what he is. He has a human-like appearance, but some parts of his body are made of iron that I have never seen anywhere

As with the other Dwarf war machines, he had to watch out

"Are you human?" Ask him in a flat tone

"H-huh? Can't you see for yourself?" loha said

"This is a yes or no question,"

"Y-yes, we're human,"

"No question with a yes or no answer, now you know who we are, who are you?"

He looked at me, his purple eyes as if scanning my whole body

"We're named Daz Robocca, but Elves and Dwarves call us Machinarum, I have the codename Ellie,"

M-Machinarum?!

That's the shredder in the Dwarven data and other race data I've been meeting! They were said to be a race with abilities against the Seraphim race even the Dragons, they were much worse than Dwarves

"What do you want from us?" This time I kept asking

"I want to confirm. The control center needs confirmation for our further action, "what does that mean?

"I need to collect data that should all fit the human criteria that Abraham's administrator described" he continued

"What can I do about it?"

"I have to go with you while watching your behavior and your race,"

So we'll be monitored? But isn't it very clear that we are human beings who live hard lives? Why do they need additional data?

"Alright, but don't interfere with our work,"

"Understanding, activate passive mode, make observations without saying a word,"

What the fuck is this really him? What the data describes is that Machinarum cannot be predicted at all. They have the technology in front of the Dwarves so they are very strong

But it is rare to find even a single unit of Machinarum, they are just like the Seraphim who just love to observe

"Kuro, what are we gonna do?"

"We have more time, we will use it to re-loot this Orc ship and map it" I replied

"What about the other three?"

"Don't be greedy, this one is enough,"

We were back with Machinarum or what he called Daz Robocca, he really just kept quiet the whole time and walked right behind us when he could fly

"Are you sure you're taking him up the hill, Kuro? Don't you suspect it like the Orcs?"

"I feel like if he's safe enough, after all, he saved us from the Orcs, at least we should be a little grateful,"

Start our days-long journey home, along with an extra one

Carrying material, of course, this trip became longer than when we left. But this time I was able to relax a little more, it was thanks to Ellie the Machinarum

No one in Kelfia would want to look for trouble even with one of them, except the Dragon or Seraphim. But as far as I can tell, the two races are also like Machinarum who wouldn't fight if it wasn't necessary

Unlike the Dwarves and Elves who always had the interest to ignite wars, find resources or plant their flags on the territory of other nations is not the style of these three powerful races

"We've arrived,"

In this ruined world, with the various hills of pitch-black land like the sky above us, that is the only one we can call home. I returned....

"Analyzing buildings with Administrator data, rejected. There are some similarities, but only a few, can not be used as evidence," Ellie said

"It's up to you, but this is our home. And it looks like I should invite you inside,"

"Analyzing the face to detect lies, not found,"

"Dam! What do you think I want to do?!"

"So far two Daz Robocca units have gone missing, after their search was in the hands of the Dwarves and Elves. Both units were not managed we saved completely but their backup data we managed to retrieve, he said,

From the footage, the Dwarves and Elves claimed to have information about humans, we were not ready for such a lie. Now that the system has been updated, we need to detect lies through the face" he explained at length

"Yes-yes! Do not go with the person who offers candy. Basic, you heartless creatures can only complicate a simple sentence," that's a proverb in a book of my ancestors

"uh? I told you I don't care, do you want to come in or not?"

"Good,"

We twelve people entered together through the main door which is now only made of a few layers of wood, this was once made of iron but we dismantled it to build a building in the middle of the forest, now that it's all broken into ashes then comes regret

Open the door, no one. It was natural that here it was still heavily contaminated with toxic air and acidic water, we had to clean our clothes with water from the ponds of life that flowed here

It will not be completely clean, but at least not too dirty. It can also be cleaned further

"Put the material here, let it be cleaned first before entering your area,"

"B-good sir,"

The six of them put the materials they had looted from the Orc ship earlier on this side of the room, then they followed our steps well

After that, we went into the next stage of the room to remove the mask and clean our bodies. Here we must have been completely clean because then it has entered the settlement

"You clean yourself up, too" I told Ellie

"Daz Robocca's body was coated in a special material that kept us dry and clean despite being showered with acid water, I was most likely still much cleaner than you," Did he mock me?

He wants to say that if we want to clean as much as we can, we're still so dirty? Damnit.... Seeing him mock with a flat face made me even more annoyed. If only he hadn't saved us, I might have invited him in

The door opens and there's the area where everything moves, here where we live, here we live

It was certainly nice to be back here, especially without casualties and even injuries, this expedition was very successful because we also managed to take a little foreign material and map the Orc ship

"yeah! Just with the additional six strongmen from the construction section, you have no more casualties huh? Turns out it was your bad leadership that killed your men, "The old grandpa with the stick is back on his feet

No problem, he's been like this a lot. He wasn't wrong about that, about the death of my men because of my leadership, I was the most aware of that

Either way they died on my orders, I could not reason there was no other way, I admitted it was my fault about there was no other way, that was the burden I had to bear

"There's no need to make fun of me in public, Grandpa, if you want I can explain everything here. But you should ask yourself to the six 'strong' people who have been shaking ever since,"

Want as hard as they practice, the events on the field are a lot different. Especially for those who only train their muscles by working it.... Maybe they've fought inside here, but out there?

"Building layout confirmation, perfectly matched with administrator data, this is one of the human bunkers,"

"Who is he, Kuro?!"

Ah, there will definitely be this kind of problem

"What are these storms? Who is he, Mr Kuro?" The more crowded it is

Even the leaders show up here.

Immediately I asked the leaders to enter the meeting room beforehand so that this matter would not be heard by everyone, as it was indeed unbelievable

Ellie and of course Rize came in, the door was closed and I explained everything

"So you invited this foreign race here and ignored the risks?"

"He's not an alien race, Mr. Ruth,"

"Oh? Is he Dwarf-made?"

"Better, he's a different race," I replied to the question

"Codename to Ellie, we're called Daz Robocca,"

They seem confused, because there is no race by the name of Daz Robocca from a book written by the expedition team, by me

"He's Machinarum" I said briefly

It changes the atmosphere of this room to be more tense, yes actually.

But it seems that the parents still do not understand, because I'm sure they also never read books containing information about the outside world that we make

"Are they dangerous, Mr Kuro?" Ask the consetvative group leader

"You kidding?! Machinarum is as powerful as Dragon and Seraphim! It's on the last page, why bring it here??"

He was one of the progressive groups that was on my side, but he was also against my decision huh.... Seeing this condition is indeed very reasonable, even I thank you because progressive groups dare to express their personal opinions without fear of me

But this is a matter of manners

"This girl, she saved us from three Orc ships, as one of the leaders I have to show our manners,"

"B-but as strong as Dragon...."

"Even if the Dragon that used to be the cause of our previous home is destroyed, I will invite him here" I said

"Mr Kuro is right, at least we should establish a good relationship with one strong race,"

That's not what I meant.... It's a good idea, but one might be willing to take risks to protect other races when they themselves struggle in life in this world

"Is this really okay, Mr Kuro?"

I've seen Ellie busy herself scanning since she introduced herself, should I believe it?
