“Okay, we’ll be starting with the usual inspection. First, we check the movement... First reactor output...second reactor output both stable. I can see where the distribution of the reactor output is on this scale, and it looks like they’re both within the safety zone.”

With deft movements, Kid checked the meters next to his control yokes. Meanwhile, the low roar of the ether reactor filled the cockpit. At first, the noise was quiet, but it gradually got louder and louder until it was shaking the air itself, and then it suddenly quieted down again and stabilized to a certain extent.

“The magius engine’s response is good! The crystal tissue’s tension is also fine... Okay Tzenny, wake uuuup!”

At Addy’s energetic call, the wall in front of the twins lit up brightly. Actually, the brightness was only relative as light from the wall right in front of them pierced through the darkness. The wall—the cockpit’s holomonitor—was showing them the scene reflected in the Tzenndorg’s eye crystal. They could see the usual knightsmiths that watched from a distance away, and the Kaldatoah squad that was on standby in case anything happened.

Before, the Tzenndorg couldn’t even move around properly because of mana supply issues. They’d fixed this by mounting a second ether reactor in the machine, an unprecedented solve. Redesigning the interior to fit everything had been a major operation, but thanks to the knightsmiths’ efforts, the rework had succeeded.

Recently, Kid and Addy had resumed conducting tests daily.

“We’re supposed to run a little faster today, right? Heh heh, it’s about time for Tzenny to show its stuff!”

“As long as we can do this, all that’s left is the minute confirmations. Okay then, let’s do this like always.”

Addy once again gripped her control yokes and gradually put more force onto her stirrups. In response, the Tzenndorg tried to stand up. The twin ether reactors let out a fearsome intake noise, shaking the armor all over its body, the rattling noise joining the cacophony. The keening of flexing crystal tissue in the legs could be heard as the machine rose from its horse’s sitting position. The thudding of its feet against the ground was heavy, as if the machine were hitting the ground with a powerful blunt weapon. One leg, two legs stood solid on the ground, lifting up part of its body. Those movements were powerful, and showed no signs of any instability. Eventually, the chains that were fixing the silhouette knight in place jangled as they were taken away. Its huge body had been freed.

There was nothing unsafe about the twins’ piloting. They used the Full Control style of piloting that Ernie had taught them while also borrowing strength from the special magius engine in the machine, allowing them to steer the prototype splendidly. It being a centaur meant the shape of the body was strange beyond measure. The two-seater cockpit was also unprecedented. There was no way a normal knight runner would be able to pilot the machine satisfactorily. This time, the twins’ lack of knowledge about silhouette knights worked for them.
