CH 2 (1/2)
The First Girl
「Wha? Where is this place?」
So Furutera Iss.h.i.+ mutters instinctively while looking at the surroundings.
And, after seeing the result from surveying the vicinity, he lets out a scream.
「What the heck with this situation. What the heck there were test tubes with human-like baby floating inside of it in here? This room seems like a cave, furthermore it’s dark. Where are the torches? Woah! Though it was so dark and hard to see, but the thing under my feet, isn’t this a magic formation?」
What the heck is this supposed to means! So he complains while being greatly perplexed.
Moreover, his surroundings are shaking with *Zudon *Zudon* sounds.
However, to pulling himself together quickly is one of the few redeeming features of Iss.h.i.+.
He shakes his head for two or three times and once again puts his eyes on the surroundings.
And so he approaches the test tube, which was the most nearest one near the magic formation, and takes a look at the inside of the tube.
The center of the test tube is filled with something like water, a pet.i.te girl floats while holding her knee inside it.
A pale blue hair and golden eyes.
With white skin like the white of the snow, her appearance is just like a personification of an angel.
Of course she is naked; the boy becomes aware of that, so he averts his eyes while being fl.u.s.tered.
Even if the girl’s eyes are open, but she doesn’t really look at anything, it just blank looking eyes. Such impression makes the girl looks just like a robot.
He discards his shyness, and turns his averted glances to her again.
「It’s somehow eerie. It’s just looks like a doll. Also I still don’t know anything about my situation. Is she conscious? h.e.l.lo, hel~lo....」
While he is saying that, he tries to knock the container of the test tube.
Actually he doesn’t really expect any reaction from her. He is desperate because he has no other option, so he only acts just by his feelings.
However, on the next moment, the girl who had unfocused eyes that looks like the eyes of a doll until now, are now firmly opens her eyes wide, she turns her face around and stares at Iss.h.i.+.
Waah! It just likes a ghost, so he raises his voice in surprise.
But, the unexpected event doesn’t end by just that.
She turns around, and the container of the test tube starts rumbling.
And then, the exterior of the container slide from the top part, the water inside is then ejected to outside.
The boy receives the water directly, so he instinctively closes his eyes while being soaked by it.
And then, when he returns his sight to the test tube again, on there is the fallen girl that later stands, and then they lock their eyes on each other.
When the girl walks towards him, he doesn’t know why but the girl is bowing her head towards him.
「Master, Good Morning. Base Unit No.0001 successfully activated. What are your instruction?」
So she said.
