『This will be our first solo action since a long time. Isn’t fun? To not have the old man and Myne tagging along』

[No idea yet, this doesn’t seem to be something I can do alone.]

[Now then, by jumping through this wall, I’ll be able to get in.]

『Can you really jump that high, I want to see how』

[I’ll show you how much I have become accustomed to Area E]

I kicked the ground gently, and flew over the wall. Then, having done so, I landed on my feet.

[How about that, pretty nice, isn’t it?]

『60 points, you have a long way to go. I can still feel the slight vibration from your movements.』

[So it’s already quite good. Greed always sets a ridiculous standard when evaluating me after all]

『It’s only natural since you are my wielder. Anyways, look downward』

Then, the source of the lights itself, were actually the buildings emitting light.

[What’s with that….buildings?]

『That is, Gallia’s technology. It’s a special plate that can extract energy from the atmosphere. The energy is then used to power the building』

[The kingdom military district actually uses Gallia’s technology…..]

Gallia was destroyed long ago. I’ve always thought that its technology had also been lost, but who would’ve thought that it’s still living, right behind this wall.

『Well, even if it’s said to be destroyed, not all of it has vanished. There are still many ruins on Gallia, Fate has seen one yourself, haven’t you? From there, things like this can be collected.』

[In that case, Gallia would be like a mountain of unexpected treasure]

『Yeah, that’s why Envy put Tenryu on Gallia, it was to keep watch. It also happen to be a good way to control the monster’s aggression.』

[If, from now on, people starts looking for relics of Gallia, will this kind of view also spread outside the military district?]

『The kingdom wouldn’t allow that. Seems to me that they want to monopolize Gallia’s technology』

[Yeah, isolating this here is also an evidence.]

[From here, we can’t yet see the Burixes research facility.]

『From what the sister said, it’s north from here』

[And she also said that it’s easily recognized with a single glance]

[Well, I’ll understand once I see it myself]

『Don’t get caught. Just observe. Whatever happened, don’t involve yourself in』

[What’s with that? All of a sudden.]

『How the human make use of Gallia’s technology, has nothing to do with me since a long time ago』

[What the hell is that thing?]

『It’s a mechanism called bike, a kind of vehicle used in the old days of Gallia. It seems that they found it on Gallia, and had been attempting to restore it』

[That’s a vehicle? It’s only mass of metals]

『You won’t understand the underlying mechanism and how it worked. However, it was an excellent vehicle that was hundred time better than a horse. It also won’t get tired like horses do.』

I can’t actually believe that riding that thing will be better than riding a horse. However, it’s made of inorganic matter so it must’ve indeed cannot feel tired. Just like Greed here.

[How do you ride one?]

『You can change direction with that handle at upper part of the front wheel。And since there is balance control device on it, even a first timer will be able to ride it just fine.』

[Fu~hn, then, why they haven’t tried to ride it?]

As I said that, Greed snorted a laugh,

『They have insufficient magic power to rev the bike on. That vehicle consume magic power to move. Among all of them, sitting on the seat alone will be like flying to heaven』

[Can I ride it?]

『Of course you can. Fate belongs to Area E. You’ll be able to ride it as long as you like. But, just give it up for now』

[I know, let’s go on!]
