A private room in the hospital that has been visited many times already and has become one of the familiar landscapes.
An old man with bad blood to see, lying in bed. There is an infusion in the arm and a tube through the nose.
Every time I see him, he lacks vitality from his skin, so whenever I open the hospital room, number two scares me.
"Didn't I tell you before? You don't have to come here anymore."
When he opens his thin eyes and sees number two, the old man tells him so in a plundering voice.
"Huh? Don't tell me how to fuck up my sleep ~"
Pull a chair to the old man's side and sit down, make the best of your energetic voice, slap your hatred, and try to make a smile number two.
"You have found a place to live and a place to live. Even if you were born a clone, you're already one fine person. Don't waste your precious time getting involved."
"Heh, you're kidding me. Even your husband wants me to stay with him. I know. Guhihihi......"
To the old man who teaches in an objectified tone, No. 2 summons to a damned sensation. Two himself knows that his dialogue is echoing in vain.
"If you mean it..."
said the old man. The old man tried to smile, he couldn't. It was already difficult to make an expression. Just talk to me.
"Huh, you, what the hell did you buy a clone for? 'Cause I missed you alone, didn't I? Fuhihi......"
"That's right. I only use people, and by doing so, I'm a winning person... But...... as a result, I couldn't go through my mind with anyone...... All the women who came to my side were women like... my status and my fortune."
"So, the only thing that opens my mind is an idle clone that I bought for gold and failed to tune? Ah-ha, that it's an unusual life."
"Not really. It was the last thing I knew."
To taunt number two, the old man meditates and denies.
"What?
"The happiness of people and minds touching each other. I could find out at the end. It's a luxury... Well...... no one will know. My now filled heart..."
To the words of the old man, No. 2 pushes silence. It goes without saying how the old man could feel the happiness and the odds.
"Even if I lay down sick, there is not one but you who comes to visit me worried. My brother, who hadn't seen me in decades, laughed at me for coming to ruin his legacy. That's the way I've lived, so I can't help it. But with you alone, that was the salvation above all else."
"How much time do you have in your past, this grandfather?"
"Right. That was a progression..."
"My grandfather is so full of crap. Ho, ho, ho, ho. I hear you're embarrassing me."
Word number two was replacing tears on the way. That's where the conversation breaks off for a while.
"I'm glad to hear that, but I was worried about you"
The old man exhaled small and said.
"You mean after I'm gone, or your short life span? But... I'm really relieved that your original came to me to help, to make friends, to solve life expectancy problems, and to make a new life worthwhile..."
The old man opens his eyes and gazes at number two. When I see the old man's eyes open again, number two relieves me. Even as I spoke, I was worried that one day the words would be interrupted and my eyes would remain open the whole time.
"When your original appeared, what did I... desperately persuade you to try to keep you in the original... already... you know what I mean?
"Heh heh heh, I was so loud, I lost my roots, but then I said I already knew. Even after Grandpa screwed up, don't miss me... Hey......? Grandpa? Hey...... Hey......"
When he sees the old man holding his eyes open, solidifying with his gaze in contact with No. 2, and not even blinking, No. 2 is stunned.
"I'm kidding... Reply... Huh... Higu, Ugu... Ugu..."
It was a crying number two for a while, but eventually I get the phone.
"Uh, original? Now come on, Grandpa, because I screwed you - you don't have to come to a piss-smelling hospital like this anymore or make it smell like trouble. Ah-ha-ha."
"Right......"
Mika nodded quietly to the second report as she grinned.
"I don't know, Mika Tsukinawa! If you're a character, say," My condolences! 'Or' Woe to you! 'or something to scream about. Wow. Gu hiccup. "
'It's not that insane. But I'm sorry for your loss. "
"I don't need your condolences, Bubba Bubba Bubba. I'm going that way. Tell me how to get there and where to go."
Don't let the Lord worry you more about moving for your companions than mourning death and pitying you here. With that in mind, No. 2 decided to go to Mika and the others.
"They say number two is coming."
Hang up the phone and Mika will report quietly.
Mika and the others have already made it through the tunnel to their destination. There is a village in front of me. I can see the shadows. And the figure of the one who is not exactly a person. I'm not hiding it in my coat here.
"Is it okay to come alone?
XIII says worryingly.
"It's ideal to pick you up when you get here, because you could engage! Hopefully when number two comes, we'll be able to pick him up!
And, Mika. Looking out over the village.
"Uh, first of all, in this first place I've been, I don't know. Was listening fundamental to purchasing information?
I recall Iloha as a doorman, planted by Mika, and confirm as No. 7 asks Mika's complexion.
"There seem to be some humans, but it's hard to ask for help, if the villagers are in control of the monsters!
Reminds me of an old woman's warning before I came here.
From what I've seen, most of the villages are occupied by fields, the roads are completely unpaved, a muddy dirt road. All the houses that are densely built with the straw are ancient wooden buildings with thatched roofs. For once, the wires and poles go through.
"Nice place."
Looking over the village, No. 13 spills a smile.
"It's surreal that monsters walk in grandeur, though."
I see a blue-skinned arm slashing child on four arms walking down the road, says No. 11.
"We don't stand out! Four identical faces!
"Now more..."
Mika's dialogues make me wonder about the eleventh. In earlier battles, the disguise has already been solved.
"Wouldn't you rather have kids if you were listening?
In the fields, I thought I was playing alone, and I found the child, and number seven pointed and said.
"If you do have a kid, it's a good thing to mislead him."
Eleven agrees with seven.
"Number seven, Nice suggestion! And number seven. Sometimes my head works!
"Sometimes it's too much."
To praise Mika, let her cheeks swell, number seven.
"All right! Let's get that kid surrounded and listened to! Let's go!"
"Yes."
"Yes, sir."
A line that leads Mika into a dignified, untainted field.
(It's an open place, and I think it's caught the eye of the monsters there...)
It was the eleventh that I thought so as I walked at the end of the line, but it was too late, so I followed without giving an opinion.
"Looks like Mika and the others have reached their destination."
Junko said when he saw the map shown inside the holographic display in the living room of the Snow Oka Institute.
"Wow, when are we going?"
Midori asks. Since it is also a matter of whether or not to go in large numbers, the time difference between Junko and Midori and Tired was supposed to be left behind.
"I wonder if tomorrow morning would be okay. Mika and the others alone might put it on by then, but that would be fine."
"Isn't that possible? After Mika started leading the Clone Corps, she asked me for something. It felt amazing growing up."
"Yeah, I think so too"
As I said with a smile, Junko smiled and agreed.
