Proposal
There's no need for more battles
Deciding that, I ignore the remnants heading towards Tuega and look up at the copies' ship.
They're floating in the sky and doing nothing.
Or are they so exhausted that they can't attack?
"Father!"
Sedona was the first to catch up to me.
"Sedona, what about Wince and the others?"
"Mother is coming here by airship. But..."
"Is there some kind of trouble?"
I look at the ship that seems to be the enemy in front of me with some anxiety.
"One of these guys' ships has landed, so we're talking about what to do."
…Hmm
If we steal that ship and analyze it, will it be a way to get into space?
If we want to attack the remaining home base of Elfriade, that's also possible.
"……That’s right."
"Father?"
Is the other ship at an altitude of 50 meters?
Will they get it?
"Elfriade’s ship, can you hear me!"
I ask in a fairly loud voice
There was a reaction after about 10 seconds.
"This is the flagship Grancio, captain D-01 Dean."
I guess it was an overboard broadcast, but she came forward.
Speaking of Dean, I met her once after the continent collapsed.
It was definitely a copy of Wince.
"We've captured your ship that crash-landed there!"
"Father!?"
Of course, it's a bluff
"Is this meant to be blackmail? Original."
"I'm not blackmailing you, I just want to talk."
That's why I point to the ground and tell them to come down.
――――
Shortly after that, the ship landed and two people got off.
With a woman named Dean
It's my copy
The ship's turret is aimed at me and Sedona.
They will fire immediately if instructed to do so.
"Let's hear what you have to say."
Dean doesn't seem to be letting her guard down.
Similarly, Sedona is on full alert.
"Can that crashed ship be repaired?"
"You guys don't need to worry."
I wonder what it is?
I like Dean's reaction.
Previously, it was like a poorly made doll that looked exactly like Wince.
Right now, she's trying to protect the copy of me standing next to her.
Perhaps by living for a long time, differences have arisen that make it no longer a copy.
"I want to make a deal"
"I refuse."
I'm bothered that they don't listen.
"Nee-san, let's listen."
At that time, I received help from an unexpected source.
It's my copy
"Ain…"
"Original. I'm Ain, and I'm your copy."
"I'm Shiro. Are you going to listen to me?"
"We're only listening. We'll decide how we'll judge it after we hear it."
That's fine
It shouldn't be a bad story
"Back to the topic, is it possible to repair the ship?"
"……"
Dean doesn't answer, just stares at Ain and waits for him to say something.
"We have the technology to repair it, but we don't have the materials or tools."
"Then we'll provide that."
"...What's in it for you guys?"
"We will have our technicians help with the repairs."
"Are you trying to steal the technology?"
"That's a bad way of saying it, but it's true."
"So you're planning on attacking our home!"
"I have no intention of doing that."
"What?"
Although it is true that we are hostile to Elfriade.
If we fight, many of us will die too.
Of course, I have no intention of losing.
"What is your purpose?"
I ask them
"It's the liberation of Elfriade's main planet."
"I see, that would be nice."
"...Is it okay?"
"Yeah, that in itself is not a problem. The problem is that if the seal is broken, the current continent will disappear."
That's why I want their technology
Right now, I have been given one piece of information from the will of the planet.
"There is a planet 600 million kilometers from here."
"…4th planet Kirilicheva, what about it?"
"I'm thinking of moving to that planet."
A long time ago, that planet was terraformed... No, it's not Earth, so Terra is wrong, right? Like Elforming?
"That's an insane idea."
"Surprisingly, it's not such a foolish idea."
It seems that Elfriade tried to settle there a long time ago.
But before it actually took place, it seems to have crossed over to a more distant and favorable planet by acquiring Almana Quantum.
"It's a planet whose plans were interrupted while preparing for settlement. I can make it a habitable environment."
"I don't understand. Why are you..."
The reason is simple
"Because I don't want to fight."
