"...I know, I'll wait for you."
Akito's instructions were quite strange, but he was not unaware of what Akito was burdened with - that is, the existence of Theon.
Although hesitant, he still respected my request and the communication ended.
"...Then, would it be better to let Istar go with us?"
"It should be fine, but let's go!"
Walking around big places one after another, it's a little subtle to be honest, but stuff is stuff.
As a result, the four people in the captain's room all went to the front gate to get their luggage, and the people in the guard class cast indescribable looks at them.
Under the curious gaze of the security squad, everyone accepted the luggage sent by the "Witch Grocery Store". At Xion's suggestion, they did not come to the captain's room, but to the hangar.
People from the 13th Skills Class are here today, but maybe because they are busy, no one is here.
"Theon Istar, why are you unpacking in the hangar?"
"Didn't the plan say that we would receive information and weapons about South America's mutations? The worst thing is that the moment you open your luggage, something of that size may fly out."
The luggage itself was only a cardboard box large enough to be held in both hands, but since it was mailed from a witch, the visible size was not of much reference value.
It was not clear what kind of weapons Miranda and the others planned to prepare, but after opening the box, weapons based on wielding mobile armor flew out. This is entirely possible.
Theon's answer made Misty's cheek twitch, but she didn't complain again.
After confirming, he instructed Xiaojing and the others to leave a little, and then began to unpack their luggage.
Xion opened the box cautiously, not knowing what would pop out, but there were only two boxes of the same size and shape inside, which made him half relieved and half disappointed.
After taking out the two boxes for confirmation, I found that Ajit and Xion's names were written on them respectively.
"Captain, after all, I belong to the captain."
"Really... doesn't it matter if you open it?"
"Madam seems to like the captain very much, maybe..."
Theon believed that at least there would be no mechanism to harm Akito.
Although it cannot be said that there are not scare boxes and firecrackers placed inside like children's pranks, but let's not mention it for now.
"Is this...a mobile phone?"
The contents of Argento's box and Xion's box were the same, both were touch-screen mobile phones that were not uncommon in this era.
There is no general electronic equipment manufacturer logo, instead there are engraved Ajit or Theon's names respectively, and a witch hat-themed badge.
"Is this a mobile phone made by "Witch Grocery Store"..."
"She's obviously a witch but she wants to make electronic devices?!"
"Don't look at him like that, he actually likes new things."
Generally speaking, people are not good at modern science and electronic equipment, but it is not that no one is interested in them.
As a technician, Xion is very knowledgeable in this area, so strangers often ask him questions in this area.
"It's not that simple! In other words, human technology has been stolen by outsiders, right?!"
"From what you said, it's true. ...Maybe the witches are better."
"what happened?"
"This is powered by power quartz."
While looking at the noisy girls, I tried to turn on the phone. When I looked carefully, I saw that there wasn't even a socket for charging a data cable.
I thought it was strange, so I checked it carefully and found that it contained small energy quartz.
And it doesn't use energy quartz as a source of magic power to operate by magic. After all, the internal structure is the same as that of ordinary human mobile phones and operates on electricity.
"...It's the other party who put the energy quartz on the weapon, so there's nothing strange about it, right?"
"No, it's completely different. This phone is converted to run on electricity."
Xion's explanation puzzled Anna and others.
From here on, it is an area that cannot be understood except for Theon, who is proficient in both technologies, so it is not difficult to understand.
"Powered by energy quartz, the 'other world' and the human army seem to be doing the same thing, but the actual situation is completely different."
When the weapons and tools of the "other world" are energy quartz - something that contains crystallized magic power called elf stone by outsiders, the magic power injected into the user is amplified, and the magic power is just... used.
The EC driver converts the magic power accumulated inside the energy quartz into electrical energy for use.
If not, it would be impossible to use as a power source for modern weapons made by humans.
It is very simple to use magic to convert magic power into electricity, but at least this terminal seems to use technology other than magic to convert magic power into electricity.
This is exactly the same as the EC drive.
"That is to say...this terminal is operated by the same or even more scientific power device as the EC drive?"
"That's the conclusion."
Argento and Anna were okay, but Misty's face had completely lost all color.
Knowing that witches have technology that is the same as or even higher than what humans are still researching, this is the best bad news for someone like her who both hates and is afraid of others.
In the unspeakable silence, accompanied by the brisk melody, the phone in Ajid's hand vibrated.
He hurriedly ran to Argento and looked at the screen, which showed an incoming call along with Miranda's name.
"Captain, use the speaker phone to talk. The operation is not much different from an ordinary mobile phone."
Ajit, who nodded to Xion's instructions, only needed to perform a simple operation, and the ringing sound would be interrupted and the call would be connected.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Is this Mr. Lightsaber Captain's phone number?"
As for Miranda's voice that she heard just a week ago, Ajit could hear her sighing with relief through the phone after she answered affirmatively.
"It's great to have it all delivered to me and the phone number is ready."
"Miss, what is this mobile phone?"
"The magic phone that will be sold in the future from "Witch's General Store Witch Supermarket"...the alchemists call it the "Magic Flute"."
This is a prototype that combines magic and science, and there don't seem to be many of them.
It is said to be fusion, but it is actually based on human mobile phones and applies magic in power and details. Miranda said that to be honest, 90% of them are ordinary mobile terminals.
"I've had several people try to use it. I think it's easier for a human to adapt to the lightsaber... It would be nice if you could tell me how it feels to use it from a human perspective."
It seems that it was sent out of very reasonable considerations out of concern and testing for Xiaojing.
It was also given to Theon simply because he wanted Theon to be a tester as well.
"...Ma'am, can I ask you about the technology used in this phone?"
"Huh? It's okay, can I understand..."
"Don't you understand?"
"Because the young witches helped me plan it... I can only use the phone and text messaging software now."
"Is it grandma?!"
Theon who couldn't help shouting out must be good.
But it wouldn't be right to tell Miranda such a stupid truth.
"...Xion, I want to try the function of this magic phone, is it okay?"
"this……"
"Mr. Mitsuki, can you turn the scene to Xion?"
Although Miranda had a pleading body, she spoke without any explanation, and Ajit turned the screen to this side.
The next moment, the magic circle unfolded about one centimeter away from the screen.
(Ah, this useless thing)
By the time he thought this, it was already too late. The ice cubes released by the magic circle hit Xion directly in the face.
"It is an excellent thing to be able to transmit magic through the terminal and heal and unspell people even in far away places."
Miranda was quite proud of what she said to Theon who turned over.
"Then let's talk about important things."
Miranda said after finishing the sanction against Xion and coughing deliberately.
Of course, the topic of the findings and the weapons provided by South America was unavoidable in the hangar, but it was a complicated topic to stand still.
Xion stared at him, waved to the corner of the hangar, used magic to summon folding chairs and simple folding tables equal to the number of people, and quickly arranged them.
Mist was a little surprised, but Argento and Anna sat down and listened to him without any surprise.
