Isaac

“It's more like kidnapping than summoning. Did you bring him in for interrogation? ”

“It's easy to wipe out the memories of the heretics who are not magic resistant. I have erased my experiences and memories here and sent them back to your world. ”

“Why? There's a lot of people out there who'd be happy. ”

There are many people who are frustrated with reality and have dreams of living happily in another world, living a new life, or meeting beautiful breads all the time.

“Money. ”

“Yes?”

When Isaac opened his eyes in surprise, Magellan smiled and said, "Do you like his face?"

“If you allow people to live in this world, you have to monitor them for a lifetime of useless talk, and you have to be responsible for immigration costs and safety, and based on the costs and human resources involved, it's much cheaper to just erase their memories and send them back. ”

It was cruelly convincing and realistic.

“I haven't summoned a few people there, but suddenly no more gates open. ”

“Aren't gates supposed to open and close at will? ”

“No one knows when the gate will open. We can't search every forbidden land where Mana Storm can't rest. We can only see the unique Mana wavelength emitted when the gate is open or closed. You should be lucky about that, too. That's why there are so many gates that I can't explore and miss. ”

“But?”

“Approximately in time, we checked the gates for about 50 years of Imperial power and the gates were no longer open for 100 years before and after the Empire. ”

Isaac tilts his head.

“That's odd. Is this 383 years of Imperial power? I think so."

“That's right."

“Is conservation magic that great? The things I've seen don't look that old. ”

“After the gates closed, the empire began to evolve based on the information it had gathered. And talents who could be called geniuses in a variety of fields made achievements. ”

“Are you talking about college people? ”

Magellan looks straight at Isaac and says,

“No, I mean people like you. ”

“ ……. ”

In Magellan's words, Isaac shuts up and looks away, and Magellan walks through the exhibition room, gesturing to follow him.

“We didn't know at first. But as time went by, I knew. Because the things that are used in your world are popping out of the private market. ”

“People's lives are similar, so of course people's thoughts are similar. ”

In Isaac's wake, Magellan smiles deeply.

“At first, I did a thorough investigation into whether the information had been leaked, but I found no doubt. Then I discovered the first type of transgender. ”

“One?”

“Type 1 penetration type. A person who has passed from being physically and mentally intact to this world. Type II, born into this world with the spirit of the previous world. A third type of person whose mind occupies the body by sudden thoughts or shocks, similar to those of the previous world, types 4 and 3, but cannot overcome physical and mental discomfort, so only a single memory can be remembered. ”

Isaac's expression hardens in Magellan's explanation. It means that so many people appeared to classify it systematically.

“…… I'm a trio. ”

“Yes. We are leveling up civilizations based on a long-standing plan, but if we suddenly feel like we're closing in on a propagator of a superior civilization, we lose sight of the plan and decide whether to take him in or take him out once we know for sure." ”

“Shouldn't we just arrest all the suspects? Why are you making it so hard? ”

When Isaac asked if he didn't understand, Magellan responded with an unpleasant expression.

“I don't think we're as oppressive as the intelligence community in your world! ”

“Wasn't it?”

Isaac smiled and pointed his finger at himself, and Magellan frowned with a speechless expression.

“…… A bit violent, but only a few. Moreover, these four types of penetration make it possible for the heretics in this world to defend their species. ”

“That means it appears to all non-Humans as well. ”

“Yes, and humans don't rule this world. We work with the xenogens to live together. Human violence, greed and ugliness have been taught to all races through your world. Some of the High Council are still claiming to exterminate Humans. Without her, the Humans would have vanished and remained a minority. ”

I wanted to ask her if she was the Queen Magellan mentioned, but I thought it might help. Besides, it makes sense. If I had seen so many shovels in a world where only humans live, I should have been careful.

“That's why I've been watching, too. But when did you realize I was the type 3 penetrator? ”

When Isaac asks, Magellan looks at Isaac as if he's pathetic.

“I put that mess in Newport City, don't you get it? He's modeled after Macau and Las Vegas, right? ”

“Who knew this would happen? ”

I'm not surprised that you can get information like Las Vegas or Macau easily if you have others with you.

“But how did you know about Macau or Las Vegas? You said the gate was closed a long time ago. ”

When Isaac asked, Magellan lightly stroked his head with an unsightly look.

“There's an insurgent force pulling out all the information in my head. ”

“Those dark fevers, the ones who kidnapped me? ”

“…… I don't like the way it works, but the information extracted by Dark Heat is all the information that one person has heard, seen and remembered. I know all about famous cities like Macau and Las Vegas. ”

“Hmm. That should do it. ”

Magellan sighs and shakes her head in excitement as Isaac nods, saying he was beaten but useful.

“By the way, the gate is no longer open, so I noticed signs of a gate closing as I focused on monitoring, capturing… or refueling the investments that are starting to give up and emerge." ”

Isaac resents the word "capture," but he decides to move on. Meanwhile, Magellan reaches the iron gate at the end of the hall, and Isaac says, "How many of these doors are there? 'When I think about it, Magellan said,

“An expedition from Buryburia encountered them in a forbidden land. ”

“Them?”

In Isaac's question, Magellan opens the door, pointing to the exhibition that went inside and lit up.

“The first heretics to turn to their own will. ”

“ ……. ”

The interior of the gallery, which was blocked by a glass window, was clothed with U.S. military uniforms and exhibited with battle equipment including rifles and communication equipment, helmets and goggles, wooden dolls and wooden puppets in white doctors' gowns, sturdy supply boxes made of plastic boxes, research equipment, and heavy weapons including combat equipment. They're all ancestor marks and squad marks, 'U. I saw the letter S. MARINE’.

“Records show that first contact with the heretics was peaceful. About a hundred aliens are already on the ground where the first disaster started in the forbidden land…… Hmm, Bass? Base camp? Where do you live? I don't know the right word. ”

“It's just a camp. ”

When Magellan decides on one unnecessary word, Isaac clears it up for her, and Magellan nods.

“I'll do that. The heretics built a solid wall of steel that was quite original, with residential facilities and research facilities in it. A small group of scholars to investigate here and soldiers to protect them. ”

In Magellan's explanation, Isaac glances at the exhibit for a moment. Given what the Empire has, the camp should be gone by now. It is obvious what will happen unless the Empire strikes first.

“I can imagine how things must have turned out. ”

“You guessed? ”

“Let's start with peace. Maybe he wanted a peaceful exchange. Well, the veterans and researchers who handed it over might actually want to do that, but they don't have the same top brass. If they look around and think they're superior, they reveal their true colors, and if they're similar, they won't block the means and ways to weaken their opponent by negotiating, and if they want to be superior, they bend in, bend in, they bend over, they get skills and resources, and they wait until they're equal, and then they take the second step. ”

“You know quite well. ”

“They've done it a few times. ”

“W-what? Like your proverb says, a man who eats meat eats better? ”

“Something like that?”

“Whatever you say. Hmm. The first heretics mistook the gate from which they had moved for the only gate. But we already had most of the information, so we had to question their intentions. Moreover, at the time of the official transmission since the first contact, I was convinced that I was reluctant to disclose the gate, keeping it hidden even in the needs of Earl Siegleon, the Mission Master. ”

“You didn't show me the gate? But that's supposed to be a security procedure. ”

“The problem was that Earl Siegleon was an elf. ”

“The Eye of Truth? ”

“As you may know, it is the Elves' unique ability to determine whether they are lying or have bad intentions. Of course, there are differences in the qualities of the Elves, but Earl Sicleon was a man of extraordinary ability to serve as the former head of the Judiciary Service. ”

“What are you lacking in the commissioner for? ”

In Isaac's words, Magellan gives a fatter look.

“That's how you see the Elves in Newport City, don't you see? ”

“Ah……. ”

I have nothing to argue with. Elves like to have a unique experience, so I can abandon the position of the Chief of the Justice Office in order to become a commander of the expedition. There's a title for first contact with the Inhuman, so I don't know if it's competitive.

“Anyway. The heretics who contacted us at the time seemed to think we were nothing more than medieval times in your world. That misunderstanding was a setback. ”

“If you have swords and bows in front of those with guns, you have no choice. You're telling me you managed to get information out of the careless ones? ”

“Pretending to be naive, making a fuss about what you already know to be great, acting stupid, and extracting information, that was a lot easier than what you say in the world. Speaking of which, what the hell am I supposed to kill? ”

“Think of it as soup. ”

“Ah! I see. But is the cold soup good? ”

“Is it hard to eat hot soup? Is it hard to eat cold soup? ”

“That's cold soup... Ah! I see. Now I understand. One of your favorite civilizations in the world is that there are many interesting proverbs. ”

“Forget it, just keep talking. It's getting exciting.”
