A magic airship made by me in my previous life. That’s what the Senigrandi is.
(Hmmm, this is an old model, so I think I sold it to some rich guy.)
『I see, so that is why you know so much about it huh.』
(I think I had stored that magic tool for trapping enemies in the ship’s cargo hold.)
When I magically detected the approach of this ship, I immediately recognized it. After all, I made it myself. This ship has advanced stealth capabilities that make it impossible to be detected in plain sight, as well as it can easily avoid simple detection magic.
Without prior information about it, it is almost impossible to notice this ship if you are approached from the night sky. Moreover, the entry and exit here is an elevator type that can raise and lower people and goods at will. There is no lifting platform, and it can suck up the entire load on the ground, so by the time you notice it, it has already been taken away.
However, since there was a limit to the weight that could be lifted at one time, it is necessary to send down personnel to separate the luggage from the cart. So to say, the real identity of the elusive thieves group appeared to be this ship.
『Perhaps the thieves stumbled upon it somewhere and decided to use it.』
(But it is amazing that such an antique like this is still working fine.)
『It also appears that the traps are still active so you have to be careful. They were set up by none other Master yourself, so it would not be easy to see through it.』
(You don’t need to worry about that. I’m not stupid enough to fall for a trap I made myself.)
After rescuing Lill, who was hanging upside down, I decided to head for the wheelhouse, which is the heart of this ship. By the way, the size of this ship is about the size of a small three-story mansion.
“Hmmm, I’m sure it was this way?”
Relying on my memory, I moved forward. Because the detection magic is interfered with, it is difficult to grasp the exact floor plan.
Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~Wooooo~~.
“The alarm has gone off. The system to keep out intruders is activated.”
At that moment, from the other side of the corridor, an object shaped like an overturned bucket approached while flying in the air. Like an eye, a single dot in red light flashed first, and then a nozzle extends from the opening. Immediately afterwards, a laser was emitted from the tip of the nozzle. From right to left, it moves as if sweeping.
“!?”
Lill hurriedly crouches down and dodged it. I, on the other hand, was short, so it passed over my head without doing anything to me.
“It’s a golem used to keep out intruders. Its laser can easily cut Mithril in half, so I think it would be quite painful if it hit Lill head on. Anyway, I’ll take it down in no time.”
Realizing that its attack has been avoided, the golem adjusts the height of the nozzle in an instant, and this time, it fires a laser at a lower position.
“Reflect”
—But the moment it comes in front of me, it bounces off and pierced the bucket-like golem.
zzzzt……Bzzzzzzzt
“Oh, no. It is going to self-destruct!”
Chudooong!!!
Accompanied by thunderous sound, the golem exploded into pieces with a great force.
“T-that was dangerous. I forgot it had a self-destruct function.”
『……What was it that you were so confidently declaring earlier?』
The explosion itself wasn’t a big deal, it was more like the type that would kill the enemy with the shrapnel from the explosion. If I hadn’t instantly put up a barrier to block it, my hair would have frizzled up now.
(That would be terrible if it happened that it hit us. My hair is so thin and there isn’t much after all.)
『Is that what you’re worried about?』
(Well, unlike adults, it’s a relief that my hair is going to increase in the future.)
After that, another golem tried to eliminate us several times, but I froze it with magic. This way, it doesn’t have to blow itself up.
“Fufufu, did you really think you could get rid of your creator?”
As I muttered so, I came to a familiar place.
“Oh yes, that door. That should be the wheelhouse.”
“Leave this to me!”
Lill takes the lead and tries to rush into the wheelhouse.
“O-oi, wait a minute! There’s a trap…… Was it too late?”
“Eh!?”
Immediately after opening the door, Lill falls into a hole at her feet.
“Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!?”
The hole led to the bottom of the ship and she fell straight to the ground.
“……Uh-, well, Lill won’t die from that, so it should be fine.”
