Editing Godhorn Tech:Volume3 Chapter7 (section)

===Meanwhile at Horn Fortress 6===

“Whoa!?”

Iris Tempinvy, the dancer and recovery magic researcher, looked up despite being inside a stone building.

The magical lighting had suddenly gone out, leaving the windowless corridor in darkness.

And the trouble was not isolated to her location.

“What? Why did the shower just shut off? Did I make another bad bet in life?”

“Just put a towel on, you gambling-obsessed bunny. And why were you wearing your bunny ears in the shower?”

“Wait, can you see in the dark?”

By biting her canine tooth into an herbal flower petal instilled with moonlight, Iris could see every single drop of water falling from Eluné Jackpot’s twintails.

Iris sighed with pupils unnaturally dilated.

“This isn’t a failure of any magic in particular. We keep adding more and more to Horn Fortress, but I’m not sure I ever heard what was at the core.”

“I dunno either. Some kind of generator maybe? Or a transmission? Anyway, that old dwarf would know best how all the magic works. Damn that old man. No matter how cutely I beg him, he still won’t build me a casino.”

The bunny girl failed to mention that she had been carving driftwood and stones to create her own dice and dominos. She had even gotten the help of Phobia, the gang daughter who had previously wanted her dead, and Charlotte, the mermaid who got bored after 3 seconds of inactivity, to sneak into the printing room and try to create some playing cards.

Once the dancer walked through the dark, castle-like structure in search of Garret Goldcave, she found him almost immediately. He must not have liked to use magic for anything other than construction because he had already been relying on candlelight.

The light was dazzling to Iris since she had drugged herself to see in the dark.

“It uses the Wicked God horn,” said Garret.

“The horn?”

“Yes. This place was given to Miyabi by the Lucifer Horn, after all. I assume you have noticed how any magic we activate stays in effect without us needing to supply any more power. The massive core powering it all is the Wicked God horn itself. So Horn Fortress’s very existence grows unstable when either Miyabi or the Lucifer Horn are defeated.”

“For real? Then could the entire island sink into the ocean if they die? So our fates are decided by some battle fought on the other side of the world?”

“It is a distinct possibility. Why do you think we’re creating useful tools here and sending them to the front line?”

“I see,” sighed the bare-midriff dancer.

In the darkness, her thoughts turned toward her secret weapon. It existed in her territory: the clinic.

The alluring researcher placed a lithe finger on her chin and winked.

“Then maybe I should send them something useful as well. I’m sick of simply doing what I’m told back here, so I’ll send them something that’s sure to throw them all off balance and send everything in a different direction.”

“?”

“Yes, ''she'' would do nicely.”
