After Jin was sent away by the 《Warp Gate》 and lost somewhere, the 《Automata》 also used the same 《Warp Gate》 to search for Jin.
Splash, and then the 《Automata》 sunk. Having a body relatively the same as a human body in weight, she should be able to easily swim, however the materials for the return 《Warp Gate》 were heavy.
However, she was not an ordinary 《Automata》. Jin constructed her without restraint, so to speak, she was a 《Super Automata》. Her physical strength was tens of times that of a human, and her stamina almost infinite. If she moved her delicate limbs, she would be able to effortlessly get out of the sea.
Looking over into the far distance, the silhouette of an island could be seen beyond the horizon. The 《Automata》 began swimming towards there for now. Wearing clothes and also carrying 20kg of luggage, the speed exceeded 60 knots (111+km/h). There were probably no aquatic creatures faster than her.
「This is… the island where the laboratory is? No, it can’t be…」
The island from her memory is a volcanic island, with a mountain towering at the centre of the island that always puffed out smoke. That is, now without smoke, its height was taller than 1000 metres. Its height above sea level exceeds 3000 metres. She could see snow on the surface of the summit.
She murmured with an expressionless voice and headed towards the direction in where the laboratory would be. Walking through the open forest and meadows on the island was simple. Because it was not the tropics, there was no dense forest.
She saw insects, birds, and also small mammals and reptiles, as well as amphibians. The organisms had not changed much from the original island.
「It’s increased by more than 100 times… well, I don’t think it’s an inconvenience」
However, the 《Automata》 advanced without particularly caring about it. Then she arrived at the entrance to the laboratory. Though it was covered in ivy, the original resident, the 《Automata》 was able to immediately find it. Before her strength, the tangled ivy was no more than a weed on the road side, and opening the door quickly, the 《Automata》 entered inside.
Not knowing fatigue, she got on the 《Warp Gate》 once again, causing it to malfunction again.
This time, the 《Automata》 arrived in a desert.
She moved proceeded to move towards where she could sense a little magic power. Not knowing fatigue, she faced the scorching day and freezing night, finally arriving at a town in 4 days.
Not mistaking the magic Jin used to make her, she determined that Jin was not here.
Inside a cave half way up a rocky mountain far away from the town, there was a 《Warp Gate》 set up there. A boulder sealed the entrance, so strangers could not enter. Furthermore there was a protection barrier.
「Well then… transfer」
And so the 《Automata》 had returned to the laboratory.
The third transfer.
The fourth time was a land inhabited by demons. Most of the demons ignored the 《Automata》, some came to attack, and were helplessly repelled. Among them were the 《Sham Dragon》 species. The hide and wings, fangs and bones seemed to be good materials, so they were collected and with the set up 《Warp Gate》 she returned to the laboratory. After returning, the materials were classified and stored to be used at any time.
And like that, the《Automata》 without thinking that Jin was dead, went out to search for him over and over again.
And now, not counting every time, she no longer knew the amount of transfers.
「It can’t be helped, 《Heat》!」
「Now then, where is this?」
「The snow should decrease if I descend. Though, which way should I go…」
「This time I should ask to strengthen this area function」
「Going South should be safe」
Now, before her eyes was a 3000 metre class mountain. Looking back, the mountain she descended, was a glacier 6000 metre class mountain.
The 《Automata》 headed towards the 3000 metre class mountain. Though, it wasn’t necessary to honestly cross over the summit, in any case she headed towards the saddle between the mountains. ⚑
「There shouldn’t be any problems after this」
Without any snow, she climbed up after half a day.
The summit she climbed up on was wide, and there seemed to be a cave that looked good to set up the 《Warp Gate》.
The 《Automata》 approached it. Then, she flew far back and fell. Looking over to the place she had stood, something large gouged out.
It was a giant with a height of 20 metres and 100 arms. Climbing up the slope from the opposite side of her, it suddenly threw a boulder it held.
Even now the 《Automata》 calmly analysed her opponent. A giant type demon, the amount of magic it can’t use is large. Instead it used its large body, and the magic inside is consumed to maintain it.
「If not for the luggage on my back, it would be an opponent I could face up front… it can’t be helped」
At the same time she raised the operations of the 《Mana Drive》, her magic power was immediately refined. And then.
She threw her strongest attack magic. The output is 20 percent.
The advantage of this magic is that it is possible to extinguish only the opponent’s magic power. There is no effect on the terrain in the vicinity of the summit. The cave is also fine.
The materials left behind could be useful, so she felt it was a little wasteful to completely extinguish it, but there was something more important to her.
Finally coming here, she was able to sense Jin’s magic power.
In the cave of the 《Hekatonkheires》 she just suppressed, the 《Automata》 went to set up a 《Warp Gate》.
Carefully constructing the 《Warp Gate》, she confirmed its operation. When complete, she used it once to return to the laboratory, then immediately came back again to get a feel of it. All of it was for the sake of Jin. In the event that something goes wrong when Jin uses it to return to the laboratory, the 《Automata》 itself would destroy itself.
While crossing the low mountain, a small village could be seen. Near the fence that stood on the outskirts, it was the figure of the person the 《Automata》 wanted to see, she had found the figure of Jin, and she let out an output of 100 percent.
「Father!」
Searching for around 6 months, there stood the 《Creator》 with a face of astonishment. ⚑
