Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 281

 

Escape



"Yukikaze!"


"...Ah, Tenrei. What's wrong?"


It's been a few days since Shiro learned of Wince's death.


The temple...


No, a dark shadow had fallen over the Empire.


"It's not what's wrong. You probably won't be sleeping tonight either."


"It's okay. Fairies are completely fine even if we don't sleep."


"Your body is probably like that. But your mind must be tired after being accustomed to the smell."


"Well… that’s true, but…"


Unfortunately, I don't have time to rest.


"Sedona and Shiro are no good either, so the temple won't function unless I move."


"Is it still bad?"


"Of course, he's been holed up in the back of the temple. He's still holding Wince's head. What about Sedona?"


"Well, it is the exact opposite. Even though she can't move her limbs satisfactorily, she seems like she could kill a group of monsters with just her killing intent."


"Can't it be healed?"


"It's not that it doesn't heal, it's just that it's slow. The weapon must have had some kind of curse attached to it."


"It's really self-justified to use something like that."


Well, that's what humans are like.


What they do is wise


When others do it, they are despicable.


It's repulsive.


"What about Ginkei?"


Ginkei was also on the airship in that battle.


It is said that it resisted the man who tried to rape Sedona, but was easily crushed.


"The mechanisms since ancient times are beyond our control. According to it, it won't be long."


"I see, that's why you're gathering so many civil servants?"


"That's right, everyone is transcribing in a large room without missing a single word."


The Empire can still fight. Both people and soldiers want to fight


However, the fear of not knowing the enemy's total strength is slowing down the movement.


Are those two all there are?


Are there many more?


There is no way to find out.


"Tenrei-sama"


Before I knew it, the civil servant who was with Ginkei came over.


"Did something happen?"


"No. Ah, yes. Ginkei-sama is calling you two. Also..."


"Anything else?"


"It wants every doctor in the Empire as soon as possible."




----------------------




My body is getting cold


I pat Wince's head.


Smooth hair


Soft cheeks


Beautiful lips


Aah... why did this happen?


Even if I hug her, nothing will happen


There's no point in anything I do here.


I know but I can't move


I don't want to move


I can't bear the loss


I can't stand it, so I dig my fingernails into my own heart


I can't die


No matter how many times I stab myself, I won't die


There's no blood


Soon the wound closes.


"Shiro..."


Yukikaze is watching me.


"There's something I really need to tell you."


"…Is it something depressing again?"


I was surprised by my own voice.


I didn't know if I'd feel this way about my voice after not speaking for a few days.


"...I'll say it clearly. 90% despair, 10% hope. But I still feel optimistic about the situation."


"Please tell me. I'm not in a situation where I'm going to fall any further."


"I got a message from Ginkei saying, [I'm going to die soon, so I want to take one last gamble]."


"I see... Ginkei too."


"This is the bet. Your cells will be transplanted into Wince's head."


"…Wince is already dead, right?"


"That's why it's 90% despair. It's definitely a waste of time."


I see


Is Ginkei going out of control too?


"But Ginkei really wants to go through with it."


"How much of me is going to be transplanted?"


"Ginkei wants to take 70% of your body and put it in Wince."


"Are you saying you're coming to get confirmation? What's the problem?"


"The worst case scenario is that Wince doesn't wake up and neither do you."


Ha! It's fine!


I'll take that bet.


"Well... let's give it a shot."


"I'm sorry for being desperate. It's a worst-case scenario, not a high-probability one."


"After all, Wince doesn't wake up, and I'm missing my body."


I don't care.


I'll give it a shot.


"And when you wake up, please give Sedona mental care."


"What do you mean?"


"Do you really think Sedona's gonna take that kind of talk lying down?"


"Did she go wild?"


"It was unanimously predicted that she would go wild, so we put her to sleep with medicine."


Don't put her through any more pain.




When I went to a large room, the smell of disinfectant filled the room.


There are two beds in the center.


A round table was placed between them, and a shattered Ginkei was placed on it.


"…………"


Ginkei doesn't say anything


It's just the contents flashing.


"It's malfunctioning. We can no longer communicate except with luminous signals."


A civil servant wearing a white coat answers.


"Can it hear us?"


"We can only hope it can hear us."


"I see…"


That's why I'm going to say this unilaterally without asking for a response.


"Ginkei, I'm going to spend the rest of my time with you. Do as you please."


Saying that, I take off my clothes and lie down on the bed.


Wince's head is carefully placed on the other side.


"Then let's begin the transplant."


Could it be anesthesia?


I'm being injected with a thick needle


The sensation in my body is slowly fading.


I'm losing my hearing


I can hear the conversation.


But I can't understand the content




There is no pain, but I can feel the vibrations.





I can feel my body slipping away




I'm getting sleepy






How much easier would it be if I just fell asleep like this?















In the dark and deep consciousness


I felt some light




I hear a voice






It's a very nostalgic voice





I hear something clearer than that voice.

N-code malfunction


Conversion impossible


Unable to evacuate consciousness


Initializing memories and emotions


Some voice is echoing.


Initialization?


Ah... so I can forget everything?


That's good


It's easier to forget everything


Confirm tampering.


Unable to initialize


You've got to be kidding me.


You're giving me false hope.


"There's no need to initialize."


I heard a voice from somewhere.


It's an old woman's voice.


"The port is open. Now it's up to you to find it."


I can't see anything


I can't hear anything


For some reason, the light is spreading


And when the light subsided, all I could see was...


Consciousness evacuation is complete.
