The Branded Female Fencer

"I'd have trouble getting you to forget about me. If it's a mystery and a relic, I'll take care of it, okay?

"What is this rare box? Can I break it?

"Please don't, Saurka. You're the one who doesn't know what's going to happen if you can't break it. Pandora, I thought most of your memories were lost, but did you remember anything?

"Just a little bit. I think I know this ruin. There's a nostalgic air. I don't have a Remegate, but it seems like there's something I can do with my current knowledge. But not you."

Pandora opened the top lid and took out the cigarette, letting it blow all over to show. Saurka looked disgusted and Miko gave her a dark look as she gave up.

"It's a shitty box. Will you still break it?"

"So please stop. Pandora, you think you can't listen to me?

"You can't ask. You know that, don't you? Like I'm listening to you, I can't. Everyone on this earth may be obliged to obey your orders, but I am not. You may have forgotten that yourself, but wasn't it me for that and Lemegate?

"It's not like I have the right to order that far, and I'm not willing to,"

"But I can't either. If you don't mind, you can give orders to the Spirit, but this ruin that rejected the Spirit is powerless. The Silver Clan exerts power not according to the Spirit because it is also a deterrent when you run wild. You and Saurka happen to be close, but they're supposed to be in a hostile position. Didn't you?"

"It's..."

"Besides, it was Alphilis himself I signed, not you. Alpha Reese doesn't give me orders in the first place. If I were to do it, just do me a favor. That's why I signed with Alphilis. It doesn't feel good to be ordered, and you don't want to be able to command me."

As Pandora put it, Miko got stuck a lot. Pandora continues her explanation as she drops her ashes.

"It's nothing. I don't hate you, and I'm not blaming you. You are inherently in a position to give orders as a ruler. But that's all. Then things don't work. Thy bounty is less, and thy habit of worshipping and serving thee is gone from this earth.

It's getting out of date, me, you, the silver clan over there. "

"Nevertheless, I am responsible for..."

"Well, that's just you. I don't care what happens to this continent, it's not what I found out. If Alpha Reese wants this continent destroyed, I'll give him a hand, okay?

Pandora's expression disappeared. And when I hold my fist, I try to take a step. It was the line that stopped Dance Slave back to the sword in an instant before its eyes. Naturally, Saurka's golden eyes stare at the line.

"Out of the way, man"

"No, you're not going anywhere. You know how easy it is to be stirred up? Why don't you listen to this little box some more?

"- There are statements you can miss and things you don't"

"I know what it is. This box knows that, too. You're the one being tried."

To the words of the line, Pandora niggered.

"Nice, that's Alphilis' partner. The creators of this ruin were expecting that kind of person to grow."

"Whatever you put on it, don't go around it, let's just throw up. If this ruin is ominous, and you're gonna smash it, now's a good time, right? Is that a priority over Ucco and the others?

"... probably"

When Pandora erased the cigarette with her own head, she opened the lid and slipped the cigarette in. And out of the open gap, I took out something like a nibble and a binoculars, and that was showing footage in the belly of a metal doll.

"It's an old story - even though it's fragmentary. Apparently, I'm a pretty old artifact. There's a record of when this ruin was built."

"At the time the ruins were built - how many years ago, then?

"About 40,000 years ago."

"- There's so much going on, you're getting less surprised. Are you guys always like this when you're with Alpha Reese?

"... I guess so."

Diore sighed, Huh, and Larna and a few others were nodding. Pandora continues. The footage showed the earth, where not a single grass had yet grown, and the mountains that continued to erupt. Closess asks questions.

"That mountain shape - is it Pilebos that's erupting?

"That's right. Pilebos used to be a volcano too - Greystone is Pilebos' flank, isn't it? It was at the beginning of this earth that the earth first protruded, then Pilebos exploded and was made of deposited volcanic rock. Eventually the earth will be cold, and the seeds of the grass that have arrived from the sky will sprout, and green will grow on this earth. In the meantime, the southern and eastern continents were partitioned by renewed crustal fluctuations, but formerly one. It took 10,000 years for that change to be complete. When the weather fluctuations on this continent stabilized, this ruin was created"

"Made? To whom?"

"Well, it's up to the people from other continents, isn't it?

Pandora's moving footage showed several humans.
