The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

"Institute for Artificial Life...? What's that?"

"I don't know the details, but that's what the dossier said. Read it. You're right."

Laboratory for artificially producing life forms, or?

Something doesn't remind me of Zeke, who had his soul trapped in the Magic Airman (Golem).

I fought with Elia, that big man.

"So there's no danger in being in a toco like this?

"It was originally an abandoned facility. We were here. I wouldn't have dreamed. The entrance was tight and blocked."

That's why the galeches were scattered around the entrance.

Did the leaders do anything to bury him?

That's right, you don't leave a place like this in a state of letting anyone in, do you?

"But the enemy just found out we were here. More than I've ever known, I'll see you sooner or later."

Surely, Soma bastard, you naturally know this place.

We should get them out of here before they strike again in the face of their power.

"You can talk about that later. Before that, say hello to him and the others."

"... Speaking of which, what about these people?

I put it behind me, but there are sub-people of all races.

Other than me, he doesn't seem to have any particular doubts about it.

"These are the ones that were used as experimental benches in the basement of the Great Temple. After I help you out, you'll have to help me. You're one of us."

I see, fellow leaders?

"You don't know Kirier because she's been losing her mind, but she helped the lady caught by the clergyman, these are the guys, right? If these guys don't let me drive, the lady will be here by now. Yes. Thank you."

Were you?

I don't remember from around the moment Soma's shit moved, but I thought the leader did something about it.

If you helped my precious Beato, you have to thank him very much.

Sounds easy to talk to first, from an august woman.

"Uh......, thanks. This girl is so important, I really appreciate it."

"Oh, I did what I deserved."

A bit of an unfathomable way to put it, I thought, but Auga's sister laughed nicely.

Take the hand offered to you in search of a handshake and be disappointed with each other.

I wonder if it was race-specific, my hands were bigger and gotten worse.

I'm something similar, though.

"I am Grina. You're a brave lady, and your leader tells you the story. Let's get along."

You look like a fancy guy.

He showcased his white teeth and laughed, shaking his handshaken hand up and down.

Next up is before Mr. Fisherman.

This guy's kind of odd.

"You helped Beato, too, didn't you?"

"Oh, wow. It's Raman. Actually, I know a little bit about pharmaceuticals. The antidote you've been taking, it's made for you, right?

"That horribly effective drug?

"That's horrible, you don't listen to people... Fish people are highly skilled at pharmaceuticals, and more or less difficult to cure. However, there are a lot of difficult people..."

Speaking of which, aren't the fishermen in the sub-coalition against Burtoghu either?

A species living on the edge of the end of the west and out of contact with the outside world.

I read in the book that mysterious beings exist, but when you treat them like this, it's nothing normal.

"Nasty pharmaceutical technology is almost immature when it comes to their hometown... But I'd love to know if your medicine helped."

"Yeah, that was very helpful. You're not only Beat, you're also a benefactor to my life. Thanks."

Shake hands just like Mr. Grina.

I just couldn't grip it properly because of the water.

And finally, a man who stays silent all the time.

Dark hair, one eye hiding in his long forehead.

This guy, too, fellow leader...... what is it?

"Um, you too..."

"Divi"

"Eh."

"Dubai, that's my name..."

"Uh..."

So, that's it?

There's nothing more to talk about, I just shut up.

"Dubai is a little difficult. I'm not a bad guy. Give him a break!

Mr. Grina's follow-up flew in from the side.

I'm not very loving, either, and I don't deserve to say it anyway.

... Speaking of which, Leader, you said you helped the kid before, too.

"Isn't there anyone else? Just the three of us?

"There are three other kids. But that's all I could do to help. Every time I help one person, my security is getting tighter and tighter. Simply stealing information has filled me up."

"It is.... the kids are acting together."

"... I don't want to get involved. You can't possibly keep it in the church's breathtaking orphanage. He was sold to that orphanage."

Damn, we've been acting together forever.

The leaders will have a hard time saying that there are lives to protect.

Just like me.

"It's late for the night now. I think he's asleep."

"Oh, um... Huh! Mr. Leader, that's enough, isn't it? I can't help but quarrel! I want this facility to be fully explored!

As soon as the story was separated, Melo asserted herself violently.

I guess you've been gambling.

I feel impatient already.

"No. The kids are going to wake up, so make it tomorrow. Sleep tight."

"Ugh......, tell me something about Toka too!

Melo, it's time for the kid to go to bed.

"Mumble!

Mello, the adventure of the proposed underground facility, was stopped by the leader, not to mention.

Melo pounding with a punch around Toka's chest.

Two cheery sights, I'm sure Beato is laughing and watching, too.

…………

And I thought.

Beato looks around the kyorokyoro room and looks kind of restless.

"What's wrong?

"... eh"

'Mr. Quina, I'm not here. It's very puffy.'

"Oh, that glasses lady? You looked exhausted. I gave you a break first."

On the covered paper of Beato, the leader immediately supplements it.

Did you care about that girl?

I knew you were sweet, Beato.

"Because. Shall we rest now, too? I'm tired of everything."

"... eh"

I'd love to hear more from the leaders, but they're really tattered already.

Listening to me now, I don't feel like it's coming into my head.

"That's right, Melo. Rest with your Toka sister today and don't explore again tomorrow"

"Ya, it's a promise!

After this, we were led to an empty room by Mr. Grina.

The wind will shine in the basement, and it would be nice to have a little run-down.

Get the blankets and sheets out of the luggage that Toka was carrying, and lean over with Beato and fall asleep.

It's been a long day to think......

Will the enemy continue to do everything in their power to crush me and take Beat?

Whatever hand you've used, I can't lose.

I will always defend Beat...

"... it's morning!

"... hmm?... Mmm, what...?

"... Huh?

With Melo's roar, we woke up from sleep.

It's a tremendous momentum, but even in some kind of emergency...

"It's an exploration! It's time to explore the mysteries of this facility!

"... uh"

With high tension in the mess, Melo starts taking off her pajamas and dressing.

Toka also wakes up with her body rubbing her eyes and gives her a big yawn.

"Huh... Melo, shut up..., what time do you think it is..."

"It has nothing to do with time or anything like exploration! I don't rely on you, but I promise, and Toka's coming with me. Yo!

"Who doesn't depend, who does"

"Ahhh!

Toka and Melo are starting to hang out by our side.

This isn't the second time you've slept.

"... I have no choice. Shall I follow you, Beat?"

"... eh"

Maybe there's something that leads to Empireo's whereabouts and the aims of the denomination.

We got out of the bunk with Beato, and we started getting ready, too.

The only way to do that was through the two open doors that caught a glimpse of the deepest part of the hallway.

Me and Toka, we open one at a time and break into the room.

The first thing that caught my eye were the many large round cases lining up in the middle of the room.

"Wow, it's amazing, this!

Melo rushes over, still in a tension that keeps rising without knowing the ceiling.

You're fine in the morning, kid.

"Melo, don't you dare? They're scattered with broken pieces of glass."

"Is this…, some kind of culture capsule…. It's similar to the stuff for demonic biogenesis...... I see, artificial life form laboratory, sounds true..."

You're not listening, it's totally in analysis mode.

"Toka's calm."

"Oh, my God. Atashi's the oldest of them all, isn't he? You can afford an adult..."

That's your sister.

But, you know, your body's loose in little pieces, right?

You're not hiding the excitement, are you?

"... we, too, want to come closer?

The most prominent capsule in this room, you should check the array first, right?

"... eh"

Beat nods cocklessly.

Sounds like she agrees.

For one thing, I'll come closer to cultured capsules and other substitutes Melo said.

In front of the capsule there is just a wreckage of things I'm not sure about with lots of buttons and lamps on them.

I knew it, I had no idea.

The only thing you can barely tell is the letters and numbers on one of the capsules, the plates on its pedestal.

"Experiment, number 917, or…"
