Sanzen no Souru Supina

Urdo keeps talking.

"At first, I thought it was because of the sadness I had beaten down. The result of our meeting was a draw no matter how many times, but I thought that it was a one-sided defense, and I was hurt to continue being treated like a man as my uncle. After all, they never came to take me from the other side. But when I asked him if he had any love, he said he loved me. If you love me, why don't you come and take it? In other words, I thought I understood that I had no enemies. And since I didn't have any enemies, I realized that I had become immersed in the strange research that I was comforting with...... that's how I thought about it."

At first, I thought it might be fun.

Urd muttered as his eyes stared into the distance.

The first experiment was with espumas.

Espuma?

"It's about man-made life forms. Born of bubbles (Espuma). The Unification Dynasty: Only the Dragon Clan officially inherited one of the deities left by Agantilis.”

"A technique that produces artificial life...?"

"It takes manpower to maintain the kingdom." Wouldn't it be better to make humans mere slaves to simple manual labor? For example, the fudge that maintains this garden is a good example. "

The fact that there is a person who manages the garden.

That it is a man-made organism.

And that only the dragon race officially inherited the technology that produced it.

In the face of new facts revealed one after another, Aashre could not help but be stunned.

The dragon princess still had such a secret.

"Fuzzy (fudge)? Artificial life form. Born of bubbles (Espuma). That's what keeps the garden going...?"

This garden has been left without the Lord for nearly a hundred years. A hundred years in a bite, but long enough for one human kingdom to be buried in the trees and disappear. Didn't you think that the various parts of this garden were kept too beautiful? "

"A hundred years?! Not so much. But yes, if they say so." If you don't have a knife, you can grow grass and trees. Normally, it would be like ruin if you just left it there for a few years. But not here. It wasn't like that. "

“The fudges are halfway between plants and animals. Mushrooms are the closest thing that exists in this world. And it is stipulated to work as a garden knife with that authority. It has a life span of several years, and when you can't work, it turns into soil, which is the basis for keeping the garden rich. Most aerial gardens are automatically replenished."

"But... we've never seen one before." At least not here. "

"There are plants and mushrooms and fallen leaves on their heads." If you just snuggle, it will only look like a tree bush, and it's a real bush except for the actual foundation, so it's impossible to find out without being very good at it. I work in a quiet and invisible place. That's Fudge. "

Ashlee was speechless because of how it worked.

Fudge.

And those born of bubbles (Espuma).

It is artificially produced, and it performs the task of keeping the garden without being ordered by anyone, and it returns quietly to the soil.

"But those born from bubbles (espuma) are artificial creatures, right?" Besides Fudge, can you make anything like that? Can you give birth? "

"It's impossible to say anything. Well... I could do quite a bit of work if I persistently tinkered with the components... but I didn't feel it was the job of the king. In fact, the fudges are enough to take care of the garden, and if you put it aside, it won't be interesting unless you are the owners of the [Wills], including humans."

"[A willpower]? That's what separates humans from those born of fudge and bubbles..."

"Do I have to say if I have my own thoughts?" Isn't there a [Chiran] who thinks that only those who continue to faithfully perform the role they've been given? "

Ashlee felt a small pain in the words of Urdo, who said that it was only natural.

Well then, aren't there [wills] among those born from their bubbles?

"No, that's why [Soul] has no chance of occurring." Because I don't have all of them, it doesn't hurt to treat them roughly. "

"Is that a convenient slave?" Is there such a thing besides Fudge? "

"What are your thoughts now, what are you thinking and asking questions like that? It's not about asking questions right now, is it?" In order not to lead the conversation to a wanderlust? "

Urd said with a thoughtful expression.

"It would be helpful if you could do that," replied Ashlee, concerned about the Lord's unwanted bonds with Urdo.

I didn't want to denounce the Dragon Clan's actions.

"Hmm, well, that's fine." Certainly, different roles can be assigned to those born from bubbles (Espuma). It's common to be able to play the role of a knife, like Fudge. "

“Other than that, for example?”

"It's for ornamental purposes." You can combine the upper body of a human beauty with a fish to swim in a tank, or you can combine it with a bird to sing a beautiful song, or you can combine it with a spider to create an instrument that plays a violin trio with six hands. "

"Quite a bit, quite a bit of a grotesque." The idea is that those who are born out of it will make it, not the other way around. ”

Urd wrinkled his nose, naturally, in response to the mundane impression of Ashlee.

She doesn't think she can use her life that way or play with it.

"Therefore, the hobbies of those born of bubbles (Espuma) are despised among our dragon race. Most of them are fuzzy. Those born of bubbles (Espuma) should use it only to maintain the gardens inherited from their ancestors. I think so too."

But was Smaugard different?

Ashlee's question was natural and natural.

But Urd opened his eyes wide and looked hurt for some reason.

Gaze gently drifts away.

“Yeah. Yeah. No. He... he's changed his neck. Someday, people born of bubbles (espuma) will be able to enter it. I started putting my love on those who were born from bubbles made from a mixture of many components of living things that were beautifully shaped on my side.”

Love those born of bubbles (Espuma)?

"The madman sucked the lips of those born of bubbles with his mouth, who whispered love to me. On the contrary, I must have drowned and patronized you... and embraced you."

Unable to find a word to put on, Ashlee fell silent, not to speak.

From the fierce state of Urdo, I could feel the simplicity with which Urdo turned to him at that time, but above all, it seemed that Smaugard never gave birth to those born from bubbles (Espuma) because of their lusts.

There was already a certainty in Ashlee that his madness had come from a different, deeper place.

So, what happened to him?

"... I started dyeing my hands for further evil deeds"

Specifically?

"I've mixed the humans and those born of bubbles (Espuma)... and started to cross over."



Ashleigh breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a lie to say that you didn't expect to explore the palace that Smaugard left behind.

For what?

"How could you possibly know that!" However, his work intensified over the years. I learned it only when it was completely too late. I found the faces of maids who were supposed to be human beings among those born from the bubbles (espuma) that I saw more and more every time I visited this aerial garden. ”

Was it supposed to be human?

"As if it were a calf, his people were being replaced by those born of bubbles (Espuma). Some people even had a lot of breasts because their ears, tails, hairs, horns, and eyes were replaced....."

Urd had a nauseating look on his face.

Ashlee asked me if I could continue.

"I... I knew that. I pulled up." Why did you do this? Why did you do this kind of work... and recombine humans like puzzles? And then,──── oh, and then, "

Then what?

Ashlee urged as she clung to Urdo, who suddenly began to be distracted.

"He said," Smaugard said. "Urd, do you know why our dragon was born in this world?"

Yeah, yeah.

Urdo said, inhaling suddenly and repeatedly as if he had had a seizure.

"It sounded exactly the same as when I first wanted him. It was a totally unchanging smile. But by that time, he had completely changed. And he called me with a smile that had not changed, but had changed. and guided them, 'I will show you. Why did our dragon want to be born into such a figure?" And said, "In the dragon pit, in── his sanctuary."

Urd's eyes were out of focus.

A vivid revival of too harsh a past experience is attacking the dragon princess.

But that's why Ashlee was able to sense that this was the core response.

"That's where you saw me."

"Oh, yes, Ashley Dow. I saw it. How many and how many have been rebuilt. And those who have been destroyed. Unforgivable and unforgivable. Once human beings, the ministers of Smaugard, all of them have been── rewritten."

So?

Ready to suffer, Ashlee continued.

If we turn away from the past of Urd from mercy here, everything will be ruined.

It is an insult to Urdo's own deeds as he breaks off his past lovemaking and simulation and tries to confront Smaugardo and his past work again.

That's why I urge you again.

"Let me ask you something."

"He said," Smaugard said. I understand, Urdo. We, the dragons, are not kings of this world. Nay, it was a falsehood. The real role── is lifeless. For the sake of this world, for the sake of the [renunciation of will] people who want to live in this world. To give the Heart to their God, the Lord. And the tree of life that sits deep in the sanctuary that we have believed and worshipped as the source of the dragon's power──── [Star Hunting Hands].──── "

The singing words of Urd were never uttered until the end.

It wasn't because the dragon princess, who couldn't stand the pain, shut her mouth.

What she was trying to tell them was because they appeared before their very eyes.
