In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

"This might be a bit difficult... Please wait for me while I eliminate this red, inhuman monster..."

“The Boiling Ones,” Chen Yi corrected, beginning to believe the truth in Lorelei’s words.

If dreams are constructed based on one's subconscious, there's no reason why this fictional 'character' wouldn't know what the Boiling One is called.

"Speaking of which, do you know what's wrong with my eyes?" Chen Yi felt his body rising slightly and asked one last question.

“Of course, Commander, this is my gift... Consider it compensation for not being able to get to your side sooner..." Lorelei said softly, releasing her hand at some point and giving Chen Yi a light kiss on the neck.

"You didn't remember me last time, so you can't make the same mistake again." Her eyes were deep and unsettling.

Grade 11: Chapter 193 The Sky

"...Commander, you're not bringing a rifle to school today?" Kluka found it a bit strange as she watched Chen Yi pack the DSR-50 into his guitar case.

Although Chen Yi usually used an acid-etching rifle, he always carried an HK416 with him.

Chen Yi seems a bit off today.

“Kluke, DSR-50... I suspect it’s Lorelei,” Chen Yi said to Kluke after organizing his thoughts.

When he held the gun, he felt a faint warmth on its cold surface.

It might be a misperception, but Chen Yi still told Kroos about this conjecture, including a brief description of the dream.

Although she can hear what she is thinking, the clues after waking up in the morning are too messy, and Luca might feel confused when listening to them.

So let's organize the content first.

“…Oh, it’s her.” Krocette recalled for a moment, looking at Chen Yi’s closed guitar case, with an indescribable look in her eyes.

“It’s not just Lorelei, no, let me organize my thoughts…” Chen Yi patted his head and went to the living room to prepare breakfast.

"......?" Kroos didn't press for details, listening to the clues Chen Yi had pieced together in his mind, waiting for him to explain them in full.

"To make a long story short, Lorelei should also be a machine soul like you... no, something doesn't feel right... anyway, they should be teammates."

Chen Yi sorted out the most important intelligence and then slowly recounted it.

There is still some controversy regarding whether Lorelei is a machine spirit.

"My left eye is a gift from her... I should say it's a kind of ability, but I haven't figured out how it works."

Picking up the spatula, Chen Yi turned on the gas valve.

"There is also a second important piece of information, which is the boiling phenomenon."

“In my dream last night, when I was fighting the Boiler, Lorelei suddenly appeared and took out the Boiler.”

"I'm not quite sure what the specific mechanism is, but the Boiling Ones might be something with independent consciousness, like Lorelei... No, I should say that the Boiling Ones are very likely pseudo-humans, not something like a mental illness."

“I understand, Commander. Then… where is Lorelei now?” Kluge was more concerned with more practical questions.

"...She said the boiling phenomenon had taken over her original position. I guess it's because after DSR-50 awakened, she resided in my mind, but was stuck because of the boiling phenomenon...maybe that's it."

All the existing clues and information are based on guesswork. He hasn't been able to find the person in question to ask yet, so he can only try to deduce based on superficial conditions.

"Then how do we take down the Boiling One?"

Klukka raised a very crucial question.

Yes, how to take down the Boiling One? To put it bluntly, Chen Yi doesn't even know what it is, so how can he talk about how to take it down?

"Commander, don't think about that now, your fried eggs are almost overcooked," Kroos said suddenly, glancing at the frying pan.

......

Kawasaki Saki was woken up from her office chair by Futaba Rio. Chen Yi had said that there was a single dormitory room available for her, but she still studied so hard that she fell asleep in her office chair when she was too tired.

"Um..." Kawasaki Saki originally wanted to say that it was okay, but after glancing at Futaba Rio's expression, she knew that her share had already been prepared, so she had to swallow her words.

"Would you like some coffee?" Futaba asked, watching Kawasaki Saki walk into the restroom.

"...Thank you for your help."

Saki Kawasaki replied after a moment of silence.

...Chen Yi's family's breakfast wasn't particularly elaborate, but it was still quite substantial and filling, definitely enough for their energy needs in the morning.

"There's no ready-made rice milk available here..."

I'm craving rice noodle rolls.

Chen Yi tried to recall what kind of rice was used for the rice flour batter in rice noodle rolls.

"Commander, it's aged early-season indica rice."

Chen Yi pondered.

Aren't they everywhere?

...There's a mistake, it should be:

Isn't this place overflowing with Gugugu rice?

I was wondering why Japanese rice tasted so bad; it turns out the agricultural cooperatives are still making efforts.

So Chen Yi stood up, ran to the kitchen to look at the rice container, and shone his phone's flashlight on it.

It is thin and long, dark white in color, and lacks an oily feel.

The rice has been tested and certified.

That's absolutely true; it comes without any effort at all.

Then I still need wheat starch and cornstarch...

Chengmian is wheat starch, and Shengfen is potato starch.

Well, the potato starch has to be the Windmill brand; I wonder if it even exists in this world.

"What are you doing, Yi-kun?" Mai Sakurajima asked, observing Chen Yi's actions.

"Nothing much, just researching a local dish."

Chen Yi thought that after school this afternoon, he would go to the supermarket to see if they had any Windmill brand potato starch, or other necessities like drawer-type steaming trays.

"Let's eat breakfast first, we have to go to school later," Rio Futaba reminded her.

......

"Kroos, do people in this world seem to be very accepting of heterochromia? I don't see anyone else mentioning it."

During class, Chen Yi was distracted for a while and chatted with Krochai.

“Maybe so. Nobody seems to think there’s anything wrong with the unusual appearance of her pupils,” Kroos replied, her gaze occasionally drifting to her guitar case.

This is the world of anime and manga.

Chen Yi sighed inwardly, thinking that it saved him the trouble of pretending.

Chen Yi leisurely gazed out the window, occasionally glancing at the blackboard to see where the lesson was going, before continuing to daydream, repeating this cycle over and over again.

"Ok?"

A passenger plane flashed through the clouds and was clearly spotted by Chen Yi.

From Kroc's perspective, the crosshairs in Chen Yi's dark blue iris suddenly became unusually glaring.

Chen Yi snapped out of his daze and tried to recall what information he had just received.

A cracked machine head... no, that's...

Jaw.

It flew very high and flashed through the thick clouds, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Chen Yi recognized it; he had seen it on TV when he was a child in his previous life.

It seems to be...

The infected sky.

Chen Yi stared at the sky with a solemn expression, and then two fighter jets appeared one after the other from the clouds.

It's Su...

Oh, it could also be a J-15.

Similarly, the silhouettes of the two fighter jets were clearly captured by the left eye, including the missiles mounted on their bellies.

"Commander, so far, none of the major Japanese media outlets have reported on this matter... Oh, the airlines at the University of Tokyo have issued flight delay notices, probably to prevent accidental attacks."

It seems that people in this world have already developed a sophisticated method for dealing with these things.

Chen Yi looked away and pretended to scribble on the paper.

Putting the passenger plane monster out of his mind for a moment, Chen Yi realized in that fleeting glimpse that the gift Lorelei had given him had expanded its capabilities once again.

For example, optical zoom of an unknown magnitude.

This capability is new and visibly powerful, even allowing the missile's tail fins to be clearly seen.

But the infected sky and those two J-15s were at least 30,000 feet above the ground.

30,000 feet...

Chen Yi quickly made a rough draft on the textbook and did some calculations.

The magnification is roughly between 30 and 40. Without considering the caliber, you need at least this magnification to see clearly.

The main reason is that Chen Yi's eyes are so small that he can see those airplane bags with the help of mysterious magic, and he doesn't really need to consider the caliber.

"..."

The highest known magnification optical sight is the March FX 8-80×56, which is 80x, while the magnification of conventional high-precision competition sniper optical sights is usually between 40-55x, both far exceeding this standard.

However, in the official promotional video and factory standard demonstration of the DSR-50, the most frequently featured item is the Schmidt & Bender 5-25×56 PM II, a 5-25x optical sight, which is not sufficient to clearly see the aircraft.

So......

Perhaps it's the Schmidt & Bender PM II 12-50×56?

Optical sights with up to 50x magnification.

Chen Yi wrote down a model number on the paper.

P.S.: I went back to my hometown today to treat my dad and grandpa to dinner, so I unfortunately couldn't update.

(I didn't sleep at noon, and I felt terrible when I got back in the evening.)

Two more chapters have been added to the draft.

Remember to spend more time with your family on Father's Day! (OvO)/

Second-year high school student: Chapter 194 The Infected Sky

Chapter 194

"This is KJ-2000, serial number 2001, currently conducting aerial threat hunting command missions in the Western Pacific."

"Updated rules of engagement: Level 2 restriction - only identified hostile targets are allowed to engage after confirmation."

"Aircraft crews conducting hunting missions in this airspace, please tune to 235 to receive mission updates."

"Flying Shark 01 received, ready to go."

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, two gray-silver fighter jets cruised in a wide-set trapezoidal formation.

Having already entered the airspace over the Sea of ​​Japan, the radar screen still only displays the identification signals of friendly formations.

"The target has not yet entered the interception range of this unit's fire control radar. 2001, is there any trace of the target?"

"The target is crossing the airspace of Japan, altitude 9800, heading 095, speed 650."

"Flying Shark 01 received."

The two fighter jets changed course eastward one after another, and the two-aircraft formation switched from patrol to pursuit.

"Lead aircraft, you are about to enter U.S. airspace. Should we hand it over?"

The wingman's voice came through the encrypted channel.

"The commander did not give any orders," the lead pilot explained, answering his question.
