Chapter 127: Administrator
"Whoa!"
It's not like I did anything in particular.
I put my hand on the wall. It was nothing.
That's all it was.
But right after that, I felt myself floating in the air.
Immediately, the floating sensation was replaced by the sensation of falling.
"Huh?"
I spread my wings and tried to fly.
"Ouch!"
But the wings hit the walls on either side of me and I fell to the floor.
"It hurts~..."
I hit my nose as hard as I could on the floor.
Is it alright?
I didn't get a nosebleed, right?
"Sudden leap. Sorry to startle you."
"Who!"
I checked the surroundings
I finally understand what's going on.
I was separated from Father and Mother
"What an insidious trap!"
"It's not a trap."
I was in a completely different place than where I'd been just a few minutes before.
A room with no doors anywhere.
No holes or cracks in the ceiling or floor.
"Welcome Master"
"My name is not Master."
"Then what should I call you?"
"...Sedona."
In the room was a small pedestal.
It was in the center of the room.
On top of the pedestal floated a sphere that looked like iron.
The voice was coming from that sphere.
"Understood. I will register the managed individual as you, Sedona."
“Managed individual?”
"This facility is set up to be managed by dragons and dragon-based individuals."
"Are you saying I'm a dragon?"
I've heard from Father and Rumseil, but I don't intend to be called a dragon.
"I have no intention of being treated as a dragon."
"Your will is irrelevant. I recognize you as a dragon and have decided to obey you."
"Look..."
"Currently, this facility is registered to an unauthorized administrator."
"And?"
"By overwriting the illegal registration with a legitimate one, the facility will be able to fulfill its original role..."
The floor shakes as if to interrupt the words of the iron ball.
"Confirm activation of the seventh bowl."
"What is that!"
"It's a function that breaks down the continental surface to the particle level and reconstructs the environment."
"Particle? Reconstruction? I don't know what you mean!"
"I understand that your learning environment was poor."
"Shut up! Are you picking a fight? Besides, what will happen to everyone if that [Something's bowl] happens!"
"Your definition of [everyone] is unknown."
"Ah~, that's so annoying. Father and mother... Ah ...what will happen to the creatures on the ground!"
"The creatures on the ground will not be affected."
"Really?"
"The system will destroy the entire world and create a new one in 267 hours."
"The whole world! It's no good! Everyone will die!"
"That conclusion is incorrect, because aquatic life is viable."
What a pain in the ass, this ball of iron.
I feel like kicking it.
"It is the original inhabitant of a dragon. I don't understand why you are worried."
"I have friends, family, and companions on this world. Stop it! Now!"
"Friends, family, companions...does that mean you want to protect a specific target?"
"That's right!"
"Two conditions must be met to stop the seventh bowl."
"Tell me."
"1. Elimination of the activator. The subject is still exercising administrator privileges..."
"Next!"
"...2. Registering a new administrator. The requirements for registration must be a dragon..."
"I guess 2 is me!"
"That's right."
"Then it's decided. Next is 1!"
A glowing wall appears between me and the iron ball.
"Father, Mother!"
On that wall, I see two people and a woman I don't recognize.
"Do you wish to speak to the two subjects?"
"I can do that!?"
"......I will connect you to the loudspeakers in the facility. Please wait a moment."
The two people are fighting the woman.
It doesn't look like their attacks work on the woman
"Could it be that woman?"
"She is the one who activated the seventh bowl."
I see
"So we just kill her?"
"That's right…The facility's speakers have been activated. Conversation is possible."
"Father, Mother!"
