Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 480

 

Smell of Life



A large number of Isalka descend from Shizurek Nosaga.


They can't hide their confusion as the environment is completely different from the one they've lived in.



(If you don't know the ocean, it's only natural that you won't know the port city filled with concrete.)



One person is looking around with shining eyes


The person behind it keeps an unpleasant expression on its face.


It's Shirufi and Serufi



"Shirufi, Serufi, this way."


"Ah, Tenrei-san!"



That innocence reminds me of my own daughters when they were young.


All of them have already reached the end of their natural lives, though...



"We're heading to the capital now."


"It’s the center of this country, right?"


"Yes, is there anything you would like to do first?"



Shirufi shakes its head


No wonder


I guess they don't even know what they should do



"Let me tell you first, the Empire is thinking of heading to Tuega."


"Is that so?"


"Yeah, I don't know if we'll be enemies or allies, though."


"I don't want to feel any pain."


"Isn't that the case with everyone? Besides..."


"Let's leave that talk for later. We should get on that iron box, right?"



Shirufi, who is looking displeased, interrupts the conversation and proceeds to the train.



"Why are you in such a bad mood?"


"I'm sorry. When you take Serufi, I have high expectations and is disappointed..."


"Disappointed?"


"Yes, it seems like the air smells really bad."



Shirufi says


Apparently, they believed that if the empire was technologically advanced, the air would be clear.


But what about the smell?



"The air in the Empire is quite clean compared to other continents, isn't it?"


"I think Serufi probably doesn’t like the smell itself.”


"For example?"


"Serufi also dislike the smell of plants, animals, burning meat, and alcohol."



They're saying something unreasonable


There's nothing you can do if you don't like the smell of plants.



"Isn’t the sea no good either?"


"The sea breeze and the smell of fish were no good."



What kind of environment is Tuega where the two of them lived?


It's troublesome that they can't remember it, but their body remembers it.



"There's nothing I can do about it, but at least you can relax a little while on the train."


"I hope so. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience..."



Probably the Deep World is no good either.




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




After riding the train and shaking for a while, I received a message.


It's from Ginkei


Shirufi and Serufi are probably tired from the long journey and have fallen asleep.


I left the cabin and went to a place where there were no people around.



"Did something happen?"


-Shirufi and Serufi's DNA analysis has been completed-


"It took quite a while."


-It's actually shorter. Identification was quick because there was only one person with very similar DNA-


"Only one person... Shiro?"


-Yes, 98% matches Shiro Edgeworth-


"Is this Prelati’s work?"


-No, it was the work of Elfriade from earlier.-


"Get to the point."


-They are pure elves. This world can be said to be the primitive form of all living things except those in the deep world.



Surprisingly, I readily accepted the information.


I'm more surprised that Shiro only has a 2% difference from primitive creatures.



"Didn't they say they were thrown away because the transition surgery failed?"


-The reason why elves were created in the first place was so that Elfriade could gain immortality-


"Transition surgery... Any signs of incision?"


-No, but there is one thing I'm concerned about-


"What is?"


-The head is abnormally light. It would be unnatural if it weren't heavier for the size of a human-


"...Isn't it human inside?"


-I'm not sure, but the brain may have been replaced by a machine-



Ginkei says it's not impossible with Elfriade's technology.


On the contrary, there is a possibility that even the Empire could reach that territory in another 50 years.



"Even if it were possible, it would be inhumane."


-Agree. Their information should be made public only to a few people-



The question is whether those two are friends or enemies.


What would happen if their memories returned and they plotted the collapse of the continent?


However, even if they regain their memories, there is a possibility that they will spend their time in the Empire without doing that.


The safest thing to do is to kill them here.



-Shiro Edgeworth will refuse-


"Don't read my thoughts, jeez. Just keep an eye on them, okay?"
