The Way Back
We followed the original's ship to their destination.
It was their stronghold, a large basin called Empire.
It was unexpected
The civilization of the Sealed Land is certainly behind us, Elfriade.
But it's also at a level that's strong enough to resist.
"Nee-san, is that a gun battery they are building over there?"
"That's not a gunpowder type. Judging by the thickness of the cable, it's an electric type... I guess it's a linear railgun."
Maybe its attack can take down our ship.
"But it seems like they won't be able to fire them in rapid succession. This place should have the highest strength... we should be able to control it in three days."
"Yes, I think we can take control. If the fight dragged on for three days, that is."
I could see how they fight
All they need to do in the Sealed Land is to focus on defense.
While they buy time, the original goes around attacking us.
That's all they need to win
The original said, [I don't want to fight] with us.
It's not because they will lose
Victory is already certain
Now they are at the stage of thinking about how much they can reduce the damage.
Maybe we took too long
If we had been able to go on the offensive sooner, this probably wouldn't have happened.
"Is there any point in thinking about what if…?"
"Well, for now, we have to act in a way that doesn't cause a backlash."
―――
"It hurts……"
"Are you okay?"
I'm currently having Wince dry me with a slightly damp towel.
"Father, how are you doing?"
"The pain just won't go away..."
My whole body hurts right after leaving Tuega.
It's not a severe pain
A tingling pain in the nose, throat, and skin all over the body
"Sedona, how are Ain and the others?"
"I don't know what they're talking about because they're inside the airship, but they keep looking at the Imperial City. Was it Dean? Mother's copy."
"I see…"
"It's fine. The problem is Father's current condition."
Even if you say that, I don't really understand either.
I've donated blood to Yukikaze to have it investigated.
I don't think it's a big deal
"Shiro-san, do you have any appetite?"
"I do, but I don't know..."
"Mother, is something wrong?"
"Shiro-san can't eat."
I don't think there's any need to eat anything, but I still want to enjoy food like a living thing.
However, when we started eating...
"It's very stimulating, isn't it?"
"What did you eat?"
"It's just porridge. The salt and seasonings should be very thin."
Still, it was so irritating that I could only eat a little.
The moment I put it in my mouth, I almost burst out from the saltiness.
I ended up leaving more than half of it for Wince to eat.
"The sensation as I eat was extremely thin, though."
Yes, it's me that's wrong
Is the cause... being taken in by the Sealed Land?
The door to the room opens when Wince is taking care of me because the pain in my body has not subsided.
"Shiro, how are you doing?"
It was Yukikaze
"…I’m fine."
"You don't look well, though."
Yukikaze handed me a clipboard with a shocked expression on her face.
There was a piece of paper between
"This is?"
"Results from examining Shiro's blood. It's a simple one, though."
"I couldn't understand even if I looked at the graphs and symbols, so I'll ask for an explanation."
"Geez, Shiro and the others should update their knowledge soon."
"""I'll consider it positively."""
"Don’t just learn convenient terminology!'
You never know what you don't know
For rice cakes, go to a rice cake maker, and a little learning is a dangerous thing, so it's best to leave it to the experts.
"Then let me be brief."
"Please."
"Shiro's current body tissue is comparable to that of a fetus."
