Chapter 202: Combat Specie
"Set the route to the royal castle. There is only one place where we can proceed without being found."
Me, Wince, and Ginkei were able to invade the royal capital while riding Sedona in the form of a dragon.
I was surprised that they were not alarmed at all when we crossed the wall where the undead were growing.
"One place? You sure it's not a trap?"
"I doubt it."
"Really?"
Is it?
"For all intents and purposes, it's a [Please follow this route, we have lots of treats in store for you] thing."
"I think we can force our way through, though, right?"
"Isn't it better to be careful? There may be a ridiculous trump card."
While we were talking, Ginkei stared at the royal castle.
It's like it can't hear what we're saying.
"What's wrong Ginkei?"
"…Nothing special"
"Liar, you noticed something, didn't you?"
It's the newest member of this group, but I've been with it for 10 years.
I know that much
"Then let's be honest. We should immediately subdue the Queen and return home by airship."
"Why?"
"………"
Ginkei would not talk any further. However
"Ginkei. I command you, tell me why."
Sedona decided to use her authority to force it to listen
"There are reactions from the synthetic dragon, Dranmeira."
"Are there many?"
"The number of individuals is 1. It's a combat species, not a test species. The odds of winning are very slim."
"Combat species?"
"No, this is the first time I've heard that there are different types of synthetic dragons."
"I thought they were extinct."
That's why it didn't report it.
"How strong is it?"
"At least 70% as strong as a dragon."
"I don't understand the standard for dragons. Please make it easy for us to understand."
"A dragon could blow up the continent of Geldaria with a single blow."
It was much more than expected
"70% of that is a lot."
"That's not good if we leave it alone, is it? It might come to Berdreich after its rampage in Geldaria."
Me and Sedona agreed
But Ginkei denies it
"The nanomachine is overloaded. Looking at the reaction, it seems to have an extremely short lifespan."
"How long does it last?"
"I estimate about five months. I doubt it will ever visit Master Sedona's hometown."
"Well, that's certainly safe."
That's right. It's safe. running away would be a wiser choice
"This continent. What happens to Geldaria?"
"The corpses of nanomachines with all their lives exhausted. It will be filled with black sand."
"No way. Rejected."
"There is no problem. Black sand will remain as organic matter, and seeds from other continents will sprout on the wind. In 100 years, people will be able to live again."
"What about the people here?"
There are a lot of people here.
It's impossible to put everyone on the airship.
"It would be best to abandon them."
"Denied. We'll subjugate that combat species."
"……"
"Ginkei. Can we defeat it?"
"Deprecated"
"Sedona"
I called out to Sedona
"Ginkei. Answer without personal feelings, do we have a chance of winning?"
"…………There is."
"Do I just fight like normal?"
"You can't win that way."
"What should I do?"
"Complete Liberation of Shiro Edgeworth"
"!"
Wince immediately responds to those words
"Me..."
"No way!"
Wince yells unusually
"Wince, be quiet. They'll find us."
"I'm sorry, but I can't allow it."
One thing I learned in 10 years of escaping from the central underground
Is who I am.
Only Wince, Sedona, and Ginkei know about this.
"What about my consciousness?"
"Unknown."
"What will I look like?"
"Unknown."
"Can I win?"
"Possible"
"Okay. Let's do it."
"Shiro-san..."
Wince gets teary-eyed and tries to stop me.
"It's all right. I can handle it. I'll manage."
"What if it turns out like the synthetic dragon, Dranmeira?"
"Trust me. I'll be fine. I'll be back."
"Even though you said you didn't want to be a hero."
That hasn't changed.
I'm not gonna be a hero.
"If there is someone I can help with, I will help. Isn't that all?"
"...You're coming back, of course."
"Yeah."
"I won't allow it if there's any specific change."
A specific change?
What kind of change?
"Look, all synthetic dragons didn't have reproductive organs, did they?"
"Are you worried about that?”
"Isn't it obvious? If Shiro-san's Shiro-san is lost, why do I exist?"
"Well, I'll make an effort."
"I don't care if it's an effort or not. It's a necessary condition."
"Yes…"
