NOVEL NEXT C8
C8: [Brünnhilde], a warrior maiden-type android
I call out to the girl.
“Oh, um…….”
“………”
Her long, shimmering silver hair, her overly tidy and conversely frighteningly beautiful appearance, her stark figure as beautiful and fragile as a sculpture, was certainly real.
Above all, the huge sword with a transformation mechanism. I can see that this is a different technology from the long sword of the knights or the kingdom-issued sword of mine. If I were to use an analogy, it would be like wielding a lightsaber instead of a sword in the Edo period.
“Yeah, uh……that.”
For now, I want you to cover your body. Then I heard the girl’s eyes flickering and mumbling something.
“Memory analysis. Repair rate 100 percent. One thousand nine hundred and fifty-eight years have passed since the damage to the Valkyrie Heart. Repair log search. Data partially damaged. Recovery confirmed by cheat “Repair.” Rewriting of the Valkyrie Heart spirit center is complete. From now on, the code04 battle maiden android “Brunnhilde”, with the individual name “Seiji Aizawa” as its master, will begin its actions.”
Then the girl kneeled down towards me without trying to hide her naked body.
“Your orders, Master.”
“What?”
“I have transferred all my usage rights to Master. From now on, Brunnhilde is Master’s sword. I will eliminate those who would harm Master and do everything Master wishes.”
“Eh……….”
A beautiful, naked, silver-haired girl kneels down to me and says she’ll do anything for me. This is a pretty bad situation, isn’t it? If it were modern Japan, I would be arrested…….But this is not the time to be thinking about that. I can see a lot of things, and I need to do something about her clothes.
“I need you to get dressed.”
“Yes, sir. Load the warrior maiden equipment. Begin body reflection.”
“What the hell is……?
A colorful mosaic appeared as a string of letters that looked like a complex chemical formula wrapped around the girl. And when the mosaic disappeared, the girl was wearing clothes……no, armor.
The armor was decorated with silver and white tones that fit her body. A hair ornament with feathers, a young woman’s pure white miniskirt and a basket hand that fit her slender, delicate hands. She looked like a warrior maiden in the service of a god.
“Load complete. What do you think, Master?”
“Oh, yes, it suits you.”
“Thank you, sir.”
The girl bows her head, uh, Brunnhilde, right? Now that the Minotaur threat is over, let’s get out of here.
“Uh, Brunnhilde, right?”
“Affirmative. Brunnhilde is Master’s sword. Master’s shield. Your orders.”
“What is this place?”
I ask Brunnhilde, who has a scary blank expression on her face.
“This is the Android Repair Facility. It’s a facility for recovering, repairing, and reusing damaged androids.”
“Androids, like——Brunnhilde?”
“Affirmative. Brunnhilde is a close combat warrior maiden type android code04. The 4th of the seven War Maiden models manufactured.”
“Does the War Maiden type, like Brunnhilde, still exist?”
“Affirmative. Location search—————not synchronized. No synchronized communication with any of the War Maiden types.”
I wonder how many years have passed. As far as I know, there is no mechanical technology in this other world. Even with Japanese technology, it would be impossible to create one, so this is an amazing discovery.
“Let’s get out of here for now.”
” I understand. Requesting use of transporter. Request accepted.”
“Oh?”
Just like when the incubator came out, there was something sticking out of the ground. What’s this?——It looks like a platform with a strange emblem on it.
“Master, please come up to the transporter.”
“Whoa.”
I did as I was told and climbed onto the platform, and Brunnhilde stood next to me.
“Initiating transfer. Destination. Outside the android repair facility.”
“Oh——wow.”
Geometric patterns rose up from the platform, enveloping all sides. I can’t help but notice that this isn’t magic, but technology. Anyway, everyone is probably worried about me, so let’s get the hell out of here.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
Transference is a technology that moves objects or bodies to specified coordinates. The place where Brunnhilde slept was an “Android Repair Facility,” a place where broken androids were repaired, and sent back to the front line by a transporter. The room where Brunnhilde slept was repaired by me, and the transporter in the room was also repaired and ready for use. However, I thought.
“…………where am I?”
An empty plain as far as the eye can see. I’m pretty sure we’ve entered the ruins near the Ostrode Kingdom. If I was transported outside the ruins, I should be able to see the entrance to the castle town of the Kingdom of Ostrode. But there was no such thing. There was no entrance, not even a road. It was a complete plain.
“What’s going on……Brunnhilde?”
“………analysis complete. Master, traces of a virus have been found in the transporter. The reason for the drastic shift in the transfer coordinates appears to be a virus in the transfer device. I apologize for this. It was my mistake.”
“Oh, a virus? I’m sure my “Repair” fixed that equipment.”
I asked Brunnhilde, who was standing there with a blank expression on her face, but her answer was indifferent.
Master, “Repair” is a cheat that repairs what has been destroyed. At this time, it is not possible to disable viruses. Master’s Repair level is 1, and once you level up, you can learn to disable viruses.”
In other words, I’m not good enough. The equipment was fixed, but the virus was still there. And the moment I activated the transporter, the virus was triggered and the transfer coordinates shifted.
I held up the “Ring of Possibility” to check my status.

“Oh, there’s more.”
Apparently, Brunnhilde is my cheat.
“This is not the time! Brunnhilde, do you know where we are?”
“Commence search……….terminated. My reconnaissance capabilities have failed to detect anything.”
“What?”
“I am a close combat android with a detection radius of 300 meters.”
So you’re saying there’s nothing within a 300 meter radius? I mean, 300 meters is as far as I can see.
Where am I?
“Ha, ha, ha……”
I could only laugh helplessly.
Yes, this was the beginning of my adventure.
