"Ahya!"
Stuck in the rubble, Wince lets out a strange sound
"Ahya! Because"
When people hear a voice like that, they really want to make fun of it. That's what humans do.
"…Is it okay if I don't eat today?"
"I'm sorry, but thank you for your daily care."
"By the way, has your hearing returned?"
After the battle, we lived on the site of Tuega, which we decided to call Stump.
This was because the ship was severely damaged and it was determined that it would be difficult to return to the Empire as it was.
Two months have already passed since then
And on this day, I finally can hear.
"Yeah, now I can finally rest my eyes."
I was so tired because I had always been trying to figure out the words by the movements of the lips.
The first few days were rough
It hurts that I couldn't breathe
I ended up going through an endless period of suffering that made me feel like I was going crazy.
It was truly a living hell
"Do you want a detailed report?"
"Please"
I close my eyelids and focus on my hearing to rest my tired eyes.
"After the upper part of Tuega was cut, it moved away due to the centrifugal force caused by the star's rotation, just as Yukikaze expected."
"What about the Empire?"
"I don't think there is any damage, but due to communication difficulties, we can't confirm."
"What about the damage to the Knights and Nosaga class?"
"The hulls of Graes Nosaga and Levius Nosaga were destroyed, resulting in 87 knights missing."
"It's a huge loss... but..."
I can't tell what's next
"Human casualties are minor."
"You're saying that?"
"It's good to think about those who sacrificed their lives, but we also have to think about them as a group."
I don't want to be that dry of a person.
"There were 357 people injured. Some of them had serious injuries such as internal injuries, but all of them have made a full recovery."
"What, internal injuries?"
"Yes, the elves were skilled in healing magic."
There was an unexpected reward
"I guess it's true what they say: compassion is good for no one."
"It was a happy miscalculation."
Currently, the atmosphere around Tuega is no different from the Empire.
In other words, it is full of Almana Quantum.
Even so, the elves who are supposed to be Prelati's vessels still show no signs of aging.
On the contrary, according to Wince, they have mastered extraordinary healing magic.
"It looks like they were able to heal the internal rupture."
"Rupture... even with my magic, I can only do a bit."
"It's tough, Shiro-san."
"That's right, my superiority as a god is eroding by the minute."
Knowledge has already been surpassed by imperial scholars
The same goes for technology.
The temple knights are starting to catch up in terms of military strength.
At this point, even healing magic has been surpassed.
"You look happy, Shiro-san."
"I'm happy. I'm happy to be surpassed by my child."
"Yes, Father, you did your best."
"Are you making fun of me?"
"Isn’t that just an honest compliment?"
"Hmm... well, that's fine. Anything else?"
"The other thing is about Shiro-san's body."
"My body?"
"Yes, according to Niyo's diagnosis."
"Is there a problem?"
"The visceral system will be repaired first, and the next priority will be the nucleus."
"…How many years?"
"It's estimated to be 50 years."
"...Wince-san?"
"What?"
"I still don't have one eye, one arm, or two legs, though?"
"It's tough, but please do your best. Shiro-san's Shiro-san was treated as internal organs and apparently recovered quickly, so there won't be any problems."
"What, in this state until the core returns?"
"I'll take good care of you, so please be patient."
What should I do
This is a notice of withdrawal from battle
―――――――
One day, as I was teaching the knights in the deep world as usual, I was called by Ginkei.
"Ginkei, is something wrong?"
-Tenrei, I found out something interesting-
After saying that, a lot of genetic data was displayed on the screen in the room.
However, these were all things that had been shown to me by Ginkei before.
"Aren’t they all the same?"
-That's right. It's the same thing-
"What do you mean?"
-This is all data sent from Yukikaze 10 days ago-
"Huh? Yukikaze is now in a place named Tuega..."
-Yes, these are the people who lived in Tuega-
"So?"
-Since then, I have been investigating the genetic information of creatures in the deep world and on the ground, but I can't see any difference-
"You've been researching it ever since. That must be a lot of patience."
-Because I don't want to leave a mystery a mystery. And look at these two pieces of data-
There is no difference in the data shown
I don't know the details, but only the extent of individual and personal discrepancies.
-One side is an Elfriadian who has aged in an environment filled with mana, and the other is an elf who became its vessel-
"Is the elf safe?"
-It seems that nothing unusual has happened. That's abnormal-
"I see, that's unusual. So, what's your conclusion?"
-You might say it's absurd, unscientific, or opportunistic, but I still conclude that the theory I told you before is correct-
"...If only we could gather more data. I don't want to believe it, though."
-Yes, after all, mana chooses the life to be eliminated by its own will. There is a firm will in Almana Quantum-
