Civilization Game

As Lord Lord lifts his hood and reveals his face, the soldiers are as pale as those of the afterlife. I hear breathless voices everywhere.

“Your Majesty! ”

The soldiers salute you with all their strength.

“I'll take care of him. ”

“Yes, old! Your Majesty! Whatever it takes! ”

“Back off.”

As the soldiers flee, Lord looks down at the girl. As expected, it was Lin, the twin Elven sister of Alvehem. I could tell by the eyes of the spy what he looked like.

“Y-you...! ”

Lin opens her eyes wide when she is told to say "Your Majesty."

“You okay?"

Rod approaches and tries to get you up, but first he crawls from her side to his knee. And pound his forehead in front of Rod's feet! Bang! The ground is starting to grind.

“What, what's wrong? ”

“Give it back! Give it back! Please...! ”

She shouts in a bitter voice.

“Give me back Rene's sister! ”

And then he goes, "Ahhhh! ’I burst into tears.

Lord was a little surprised. Lynn has been told that among the Elves, she is prone to an extreme uproar and despise humans to bone. Although this propensity, which had been formed for a long time, would not have changed overnight, Lin was now lying in wait under a human field.

‘…… but… ’

Rod crosses over to Eve. Eve shrugs, smiling and shrugging.

“I'll do anything! ”

Rin says, more desperately, noticing a bad impression.

”Lynn will do anything! Sniff! So please be as good as Rene's sister! Huff!”

“No, it's not that... ”

Lord tried to explain, but his voice was buried in a wailing cry. Lord said, frowning and pondering in a headache.

“... come with me. ”

*

Rod took Lynn back to Harvard Labs. A surprise visit resulted in a nearby researcher guiding them instead of Harvard.

“Grr!”

“Grrrgh!”

“Glub! Glub! ”

A terrifying horror echoes from all over the underground facility, whether human or monster.

“Here, my sister... ”

Lin's face grows darker and darker. Rod, who was embarrassed by the way the bars were shaking, tries to talk to him to relax.

“How did you get here? Weren't you on your way back to Wigdra's with Flora? ”

“ ……. ”

Rin lowers her head.

“…… I opened my eyes and was so surprised and scared that Rene wasn't there. ”

“Yes.”

“Flora asked me to go save her, but Flora told me to stop forgetting about her... so... I ran away. ”

“... deserted. ”

Lord gives a puzzling smile. That's how I got out of the herd, came to the Underhaim, and said, "Give me back my sister! ’I would have been caught up in a riot. It was a great sister to run away because of you.

‘And Flora has the same personality. ’

Flora doesn't know what happened to Rene yet, so she also has some options for the exchange of prisoners. But I coldly told him to give up my sister in front of him. She had no intention of saving Renee.

‘You mean you're not like the rays. Maybe he didn't want to get caught up in my weakness. ’

It was self-defense. If only Lin had stayed by Flora's side, she wouldn't have been assassinated in vain.

“I'm telling you, Flora's dead. ”

The words shake Lin's pupils. You probably have a lot of questions. But I was surprised what she said.

“... It's okay. ”

“Huh?"

Her voice was dull. I thought it was unusual.

“I don't care what happens now. Lynn just...... needs Rene's sister. Rene's sister is everything. ”

‘…… Hmm. ’

“This way.”

The researcher stops in front of the room and leans back.

“Ready? ”

Rin nods with difficulty at Lord's question. They open the door wide and enter.

Renee, the blue liquid tube standing alone in the room, is inside. Liquid was lodged below the neck, and there was a large wound on the side of the chest.

“… Le, Renee! ”

Lin rushes in with tears scattered.

“Sis! Sis! Can you hear me? Renee!”

Lin wept on her neck, tapping the liquid tube.

“It's going to break. Be careful. ”

After some time had passed, Eve was able to explain herself.

During the battle, Renee sprints into a storm with dark magic. In a state of insanity, I fought Unibel and Beatrice alone, and eventually I was badly wounded. Several treatments have been made, but the diagnosis has been that medical and healing magic in the current era are irreversible since the injury was severe. So I brought him to Harvard Labs as a last resort. It was an attempt to improve the body's natural regenerative ability through ‘magic water’ liquefied by magic. But even this method did not improve her condition.

“... Then what happens to Rene's sister? ”

Lin asks as she pours out tears.

“Rene's sister is dying? ”

“ ……. ”

Her expression is so miserable that Lord and Eve are unable to answer kindly. At that moment,

“Hmph, it's true that there's an elf boy in Albheim here. ”

Three heads turned to a new voice. A girl with red hair was coming in for a visit.

“Unibel! How did you get here? ”

“You...! ”

Lynn's lips tremble.

“You...! ”

Fat! Rin rushes to Unibell, unable to stop him.

“You killed my sister! ”

Ta-da!

Lynn sprints out of unibell's palm.

“Keep it up, kid. ”

Unibell opens her eyes and says:

“Don't you think your sister killed our people? If you'd come to the battlefield in the first place, you'd be as ready to die as you are to kill. And if you hadn't stopped your sister from running off there, it would have been me or Lycee. Damn you, kid.”

“ ……. ”

Lin glances at Unibell with her grumpy eyes, holding her right cheek. Unibell also did not avoid her gaze.

“Wait. Wait. ”

Once again, a new voice breathes around me. This time, Harvard opens the door and walks into the room.

“Can I tell you something? Cute little elf lady. ”

“ ……. ”

Lin sits back and looks up at Harvard, moving only her eyes.

“As the general manager of this facility, I take responsibility for not saving her life. I'll be honest with you, she only has a couple of days left. ”

“…… Ah. Ah..."

Rin shakes her head with a painful face.

“… Warden Harbert. ”

Eve tries to say something, but Harvard holds up his hands and keeps talking.

“But how can a man die like a man? Don't worry! There's still one last resort left! ”

“…… the last, the means? ”

Lynn quickly raises her head.

“That's it! I'm making you chimeric! ”

“Chime, what? ”

“ ……. ”

Everyone except Lynn looked at Harvard with unwanted eyes. He quickly added whether Harvard had noticed the look in his eyes.

“Do you think I'm making this recommendation for personal reasons? Everything is to save her! ”

To save the test subjects. Lord thought.

“Listen up, Elf Lady! In two days' time, she's dead, and the only option left is chimerism. There is no other way to save her! ”

Lin opens her mouth, still dazed.

“…… What's a chimera? What's going on with you? ”

“You'll be stronger than ever. ”

Harvard replied with confidence.

“… that's it? ”

“The rest is just a small matter, so don't worry about it. ”

“…… What's so trivial? ”

“It's nothing. As monstrosity progresses, rationality deteriorates, appearance changes a little, and you may no longer be a person, but what's the catch? As long as it's strong and efficient! ”

When Lord heard that, he shook his head. At the point where you ask, "What's the big deal?"

“Hey.”

Lynn, who was worried about the bear, opened her mouth again.

“When you become a monster, are you no longer an elf? ”

“Well, yeah. ”

“…… I don't like that. ”

Lin mutters quickly, like a madman.

“I hate monsters. I hate it like a human. It stinks. It's dirty. It's pathetic. It's low-quality. It would be better for Renee to become such a lowlife... ”

“Not good! Such a mindset is not very good! ”

Harbert notices things are turning strange and says in an urgent tone.

“What if it's a monster? Wouldn't it be more important to live and breathe together? Oh, and monsters aren't necessarily bad! The red knols in the mountains ferment the intestinal bacteria and food debris in the process of digesting and decomposing food, creating new nutrients. That way, you can maintain an effective nutritional state during your re-ingestion process! Look! How wonderful and efficient is this creature? ”

The three, except for Lynn, stare at Harvard with their pathetic eyes again.

“And if you consume other people's cheap feces, not yourself, you can also distribute even nutrients……. ”

“Just be quiet. Warden Harbert.”

Eve said coldly.

“Hey, how about this! Hop Goblins have one more eye on their forehead so they can look around easily... ”

“Shut up. Harvard.”

“… Yes. ”

Fortunately, Lynn is still obsessed with her concerns, as if she wasn't listening to him properly this time. Then he raised his head as if he had decided to.

“On one condition. ”

“Condition?”

“... Ahh? ”

Unibell, who was standing still, loosened his wrist.

“Look at this crazy bitch. Apparently, you still don't know what's going on or whether you're farting or not. You're a prisoner. I'm not asking you to do what that mad scientist says, but do you think you have the courage to offer terms? ”

“Aha! Let's hear it for now. I don't hate people who want to contribute to science! ”

Harbert said he felt better.

“If Rene's sister has to become a chimera to survive.... ”

She spoke with a straight face.

“Me too……. ”

“Huh?"

“... Rindo will become a chimera. ”

The static works. It doesn't seem to immediately understand what she's saying. The reaction came out late.

“…… Eeeek?! ”

“Are you serious?”

“Are you crazy? ”

Everyone was appalled, but Lynn said it again.

“... because it would be sad if my sister opened her eyes and became a lowly chimera. Lynn's gonna make you chimeric. ”

“…… crazy bitch. ”

Unibell grabbed her forehead.

“Oh.”

Harvard reacted more slowly than the others. His gaze, momentarily expressing a blank expression, suddenly grew larger.

“Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh! How beautiful! What a splendid Sugaaa! ”

He comes screaming and grabs Rin's two hands.

“What a great decision! Your sacrifice, or your commitment, will forever be remembered as the foundation of great scientific advancement! Even if you disappear into a handful of dirt over time! Your name will constantly rise from the mouths of scholars! Excellent! Excellent! ”

“... I don't care about that. ”

Lynn said.

“Something else would be great. Lynn just wants to be with you forever. ”

“Great, great! Come on, this way...! Come on, this way!”

Harvard grabs Rin by the back before he changes his mind.

“…… would that be okay? ”

Eve cautiously says.

“Huh. Whatever happens now is your fault. ”

Unibell grumbles. The road next to you chuckles.

“You came all the way here to talk so carelessly? You're worried, aren't you? ”

“… I just came here to tease you that I got caught! Make fun!”

“Yes, yes. ”

The three of them watched Lin leave for a moment. She was the last of her kind as an Elf.
