Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 299

 

Sisters Falling in the Sky



"5 of 13 bulkheads have been destroyed!”


Alarms are sounding throughout the facility.


"Send the stable type to deal with it!"


"It's impossible. The performance of the stable type is too different from that of the extreme type!"


"We just need to buy time! Evacuate all personnel in the 4th area, don't tell the elves. Prepare the plasma, burn everything down as soon as the evacuation is complete."


"I understand."




---------




"It seems there's been a rampage at the research facility in Section 5."


A subordinate engineer tells me that while boiling water in the director's office.


"I guess there are no success stories…"


"The stable type has the same vulnerabilities as normal life forms, and the extreme type has excellent physical abilities but has abnormalities in their egos that cause them to go out of control."


This is the same information as in the report sent to us.


All experiments using recovered samples have failed.


Except for sample 09, which we have exclusively.


"What about sample 09?"


"It's in good condition. Not as beautiful as the elves, but acceptable enough in appearance."


Great physical ability and stamina


Slowly but surely, the results are coming in.


"How's the Commander-in-Chief?"


"The dosage of his medication is increasing. It seems to be taking its toll on his mental faculties."


[It's about time], he adds quietly.


"You must have planted something, right?"


"Does it look like I would do that?"


"You haven’t?"


"No, I haven't. Nothing, yeah, really nothing."


That means


"What's in the medicine?"


"…Nothing"


In other words, the Commander-in-Chief is not taking medicine.


While I was drinking tea brewed by my subordinate, I received a message.


It's from the forbidden area that was secretly constructed.


"Did something happen?"


-Yes, it seems that Dean and Detou sensed something-


I listened to my subordinate's report on the communication image.


Behind it is a new type of synthetic dragon made from sample 09.


D-01 Dean


D-02 Detou


Was looking at the camera with excitement


"Dean, Detou. What did you sense?"


Dean answers the question


-Yes, it's an unknown feeling, so it's vague-


"I don't mind."


-I feel a strange feeling of discomfort in my body, like itching or pain-


"Where on your body is it coming from?"


-I checked by scratching and touching it myself. I don't get the sense that any of it is right-


"What about Detou?"


Detou approaches the camera and begins speaking.


-I don't really understand, but I just want to go out-


"Do you want to go to another section?"


-No! I just want to get out of there! I can't help but want to go out when I'm looking at the window!-


Window?


"Which direction was the window in the secret area facing?"


"I believe you can see the surface of the star best. That's where the continental core is."


Is the continent's control core alive?


"...Can I get permission to descend?"


"Now? The other sections are immersed in research, so I don't think there will be a waiting list."


"Then get permission. As soon as possible."


"I understand"


Turning back to the video feed.


"Dean, Detou. Can you run an errand for me? Just the two of you."


-I understand-


-I'll go!-


"I'll let you know the schedule in detail later, and make sure you don't forget anything."


After saying that, I cut off the communication.


"Is there something wrong with the core?"


"If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be strange to complain about something abnormal now?"


That's right


"So something happened?"


"Or was it born?"


I looked at the cells of sample 09 placed in the director's office.


"This itself hasn’t shown any reaction."


"Are Dean and Detou the only ones who reacted? What are the differences between them and the other individuals?"


"...The other individuals still have insufficiently formed egos. Oh, that!"


Two younger sisters


D-03 Disa and D-04 Defo are still sleeping in the incubator.


"05 and 06 are still in the process of forming their bodies."


"Then is it about establishing their ego?"


"I guess so."


4 days later


Two personnel are deployed to investigate the planet.


Dean and Detou were sent down to the planet.
