Mile Chapter 355: What was created, what should be protected 2

 

(Wha…what…!?) (Mile)

 

Again, Mile was unintentionally screaming out loud,
“It’s nothing!” Shake hands to Rena’s trio and continue the conversation.

 

(Wh… why…) (Mile)

【Everything is the reason, (T.N: Raw means like whatever but I change a little)
You are a direct descendant of the admins,
Only Mile-sama can understand the meaning of these facilities here and give directions in line with their intended purpose.
And you can think of their existence as another system left by the “admins”.
Well, it’s not too hard to judge.
…So it’s only natural that they want to be of use for Mile-sama just like us】(Nano)

(……….) (Mile)

 

At first, Mile was upset, but she has already empathized with the machine intelligence here, she thought it would help to keep the machines motivated at all.

 

(So, it doesn’t mean that I have to sit in the command room here and there all the time, right?) (Mile)

【Yes, of course.
You just need to give 2-3 instructions and you can leave here】(Nano)

(… Then, it’s okay. Alright, undertake.
So what instruction should I give? ) (Mile)

 

The nanomachine told Mile after a moment.

 

【Remove Golem restrictions’ range of action.
Remove repair scope restrictions.
Remove population restrictions.
These three cases.
This extends the range of material collection for repairs and extends the life of the device.
In addition, he will be able to repair other departments as well as golem-related departments and use equipment and materials from those departments.
Then, using the available material, it’s possible to increase the number of scavengers for repair】(Nano)

(I see, it’s a reasonable request.
… Alright, approved! ) (Mile)

 

And then Mile added some instructions to the terminal through the nanomachine.

Do not harm intelligent life forms, human beings, elves, and dwarves, beastkins and demons, fairies and ancient dragons, as well as extras (don’t know if there are spirits or anything else). Anyway, just attack those that show hostility, malice, etc. but don’t chase if they retreat.

If Mile instructs them not to do anything, they will soon be destroyed by humans.

Mile doesn’t have to be mindful of people who come to such places to fight the Golems.
If they don’t want to die, they just have to withdraw.

This is what the ancients left to protect this world at that time.
Even if it loses most of its functions and is almost junk.
Still, it was something to keep.

And Mile wants them to protect and support the wanderers.

When “the men” come again, put out a number of golems that they can never win with the number of people at that time and turn them away.
If the other side does not withdraw, allow exclusion by any means.

And finally, the ban on providing information to others that could be a hint to opening a breach with another dimension.

Apparently, Mile asked through Nanomachine if this machine had provided such information to humans before, and it could not be confirmed.
Did the record lose due to memory corruption or something? Or that fact was wrong originally?

From the situation here, that didn’t seem to be the case,

The machine here doesn’t speak the current human language and Mile doesn’t think the Founder and those men could speak machine language.
And Mile doesn’t think there’s any discussion about a different dimension in the first place nor is there a picture or magical circle that suggests it.

Where and what happened to the founder?

Is that what happened here?
Or did they just follow the wrong route?
Now, there is no way to confirm.

However, in the end, Mile was able to gain valuable information, and those men never reached the right answer, forever.
… after all, those men can never know that this is the “wrong place”.

With the golems being repaired and the number of repairs increasing, and the scope of repairs being expanded and other security systems being restored, it would be impossible for such a number of people to do anything.

 

「Okay, withdraw!」(Mile)

「What’s with that, so suddenly?」(Rena)

 

After holding her finger on the machine and being silent for a long time, Mile suddenly announced so,
Rena was surprised and complained.

 

「Information collection is over.
At the very least, the golems and scavengers here do no harm except those who attacked them.
And I knew the golems here had nothing to do with those men.
The men seemed to have misunderstood.
The men don’t harm the orphans, and the golems are fine.
No matter what the men do to the golems, it has nothing to do with us.
…That means that the mission is complete!
…Eh?
What’s wrong?」(Mile)

「「「…………」」」(Rena’s Trio)

 

Rena’s Trio remained silent.

 

「How did you know that?」(Maevis)

 

It was unusual, not Lena, but Maevis asked with a dumbfounded look.

And the Mile’s answer was the same as always.

 

「…It’s a secret of my family!!」(Mile)

 

Then when Mile somehow deceived her friends and was about to return…

 

【Mile-sama, if left unchecked, this terminal will stop functioning in a few hundred years】(Nano)

(Un~, yes, you said so earlier.
However, because the material collection range has expanded, they can extend their lives a bit…) (Mile)

【Mile-sama, if left unchecked, this terminal will stop functioning in a few hundred years】(Nano)

(…un~, as I said. You just told me…) (Mile)

【Mile-sama, if left unchecked, this terminal will stop functioning in a few hundred years】(Nano)

(Enough already! Whatever you want to say, just be clear!!) (Mile)

【Mile-sama, if left unchecked, this terminal will stop functioning in a few hundred years】(Nano)

(I’m angry! Cut it out… Ah) (Mile)

 

Miles finally noticed.
The fact that nanomachines aren’t playfully or teasing Mile.

…They can’t say even if they want to.

Prohibited matters.

That’s why they are desperately appealing to Miles.
They want Mile to notice, to be aware.

 

(… Nano-chan, can you repair this device?) (Mile)

【It is a prohibited matter】(Nano)

(No good… Ah, then …) (Mile)

 

Mile cast a spell at the terminal.

 

「Memory restoration, board update, optical fiber, circuit fully open! Repair!!」 (Mile)

The light swirled, wrapping around the terminal.

A few seconds later, the swirl of light disappeared, and there was an unusual appearance of the terminal device.

But Mile knew.
That she has assigned the correct answer.
And even though the appearance hasn’t changed, the terminal device has been repaired by nanomachines.

Even if the nanomachines can’t do it at their own discretion,
“If they are commanded by a wave of thought as magic, they will do it regardless of good or evil or their will.”
That is the order that the nanomachines received from their Creator.

And in the evidence that it was the correct answer,
The Nanomachines have stopped repeating like a broken record.

 

「…Shall we return to the children」(Mile)

 

Rena’s Trio nodded to Mile.

And after the scavenger opened the door, Red Oath left the room.

Just before the doors closed, the nanomachines transmitted message data in a way that Mile couldn’t hear and couldn’t even sense.
Although made by someone different from themselves,
For “the same kind” who keep following the instructions received from their maker long ago.

 

【Your turn is near.
Fulfill the mission and meet the expectations of your creators…】(Nano)

 

Then, the terminal device flickered with flickering light and a display lamp.
Just like the indicator lamp when Nanomachines restored its function …

It’s like shouting “Thank you” and “Leave it to me”

 

＊ ＊ ＊

 

After a considerable number of days.
Something crawled out of the entrance, disguised as a rock gap.
They broke apart and scattered in each direction.

Some seek underground resources.
Some are quicker and sneak away from humans and other intelligent life habitats.
… and some are for repairs.

 

To a faraway destination.

Until now, parts and materials have been recovered and reused by colleagues, even if damaged and repaired or completely destroyed.

… It is not a waste.
According to the will of the creator, It’s just a part of a big Reincarnation.

However, if the body falls down in a distant place, collected and reused as material by other beings than the machine then it’s wasted.
It’s in vain, it comes off the wheel of reincarnation, and it becomes true “nothing”

It was close to what the creatures call “death.”
The “Death Corps” is prepared for “Death.”

They go.
Waiting for repairs, they will meet again in the future.

And, unknown to Mile.

She didn’t realize what exactly has she done…
