Chapter 2
───Aquatic City ”Underwood” of the Great Tree and Waterfall
The thunderously bloind hit the trunk of the Great Tree
The clear streaed to a ulf the residential area around it In this Great Tree city of ”Underwood” where the surrounding lands were continuous plains, the buildings structures weren'tthe Typhoon
In short, s were made of typical brickwork
The breakwaters for the rising water were established, but that was not the only thing to be defended from
If the source of the raging storm───the ”Bull of Heaven” remained like this, then the Aquatic City that had just been revived would undoubtedly receive huge dae
Kudou Ayato atching over the city’s state frohed anxiously
Ayato turned towards the girl one year older than her, Ayazato Suzuka, and muttered
”It's a terrible storm isn't it, Suzuka?”
”Quite so If I remember correctly, with the final record in our world, the wind speed reached up to 109 reatest and the worst raging storm in history”
While responding with agree on top of straw-thatched bad Three days had already passed since they came to ”Underwood”, but the situation was like this
It was good that she wasn't panicking in this situationbut honestly speaking, it would've been easier to reconcile if she was a bit more confused and anxious Rather than her nature, this was just the difference of their courage
As far as Ayato knew, Suzuka fundamentally never trembled with fear no er than her atching her, then she would probably act brave even in the face of adversity
Ayato prayed she wouldn't do anything reckless───but rather than her, the probleou Homura
As Ayato released a sou Homura as also in the same room
”Um, Senpai”
”Yea?”
”Thatisn't it about time to focus onbut reading for the past three days”
”Well, even if we ood, after all Until preparations are done, we have no choice but to stay within ”Underwood””
Saigou Ho as he turned around
After his contact was cut with Izayoi───Hoenuine participation in the Game, but he didn't reply immediately, as expected He announced that he wouldn't reply until he confirmed her words in his oay, and here he was now after postponing it
(Though I said that, I can't bring trouble to ”Underwood” forever It would be bad if I don't make up my mind soon, huh?)
This Gift Gaou Homura However, whether that was related to his ou Homura started to research the 'Star Particle Bodies' was nothing more than what he needed to in order to survive in real life, so inevitably, in the order of priority, things like his parents' will or revenge was low
However, as a matter of fact, there was one enemy in his mind, that fulfilled Queen's conditions
(The first guardian……… it’s before I cao I guess? When I met that man)
Aside froou Homura, those who had a chance to take part in ”Star Particle Bodies” were only the researchers fro Company” and that man as their successor
It would difficult to say unless he investigated it once, as to what had beco
Putting an open book on top of his face, Hohts
＊
Eleven years ago───It was before he was adopted by ”Canaria Family Home”
Saigou Homura used to live with a certain man
As Homura's parents funeral was quietly performed, the two of them had no relatives, so he was adopted by one of the researchers who took part in his father's research Homura couldn't even remember how he looked after all this ti ambition The reason why he adopted Homura was probably because he desired the data of Star Particle Bodies researched by his father
At this point, it wasn't certain whether that man took the thesis or particle bodies or not But for the young Hos”
Homura as mostly free to do as he wanted, freely touched, operated, and disasseh knowledge about their structure Thinking back now, part of the Gift that Saigou Hoet stronger at around those days
And it was also exactly then when that man started to dislike Homura
Contrary to his aspirations, that young man had reached the li it like that wasn't correct to be accurate
The Star Particle Bodies were already complete
While alive, Saigou Homura's father had already completed the Star Particle Bodies, and had already advanced the study up to the first steps of their practical use Therefore, just by presenting it to the scientific society as it was, he would still earn great achieve researcher didn't allow that
Above all, only the final issue left behind by Saigou Homura's father───the way to create Particle Bodies weren't recorded anywhere Even if there is a thesis and an actual thing, if there is no practicality, the thesis will be one-handed in the end And above that, there wouldn't be a single originality of his own left behind
That man hadn't abandoned so much pride that he would permit such ill-formed imitation
However, that re pride of his became the ruin of Homura
In order to enter the research of Star Particle Bodies, that researcher abandoned everything else that he was researching Perhaps there was so much merit in this research If this research was completed, it would raise the current civilization froreat invention that could advance mankind to the next step
Fortune that exceeded the national budget, honor that exceeded the head of states, he would obtain all of that as the power of an individual His name would be carved in history, and would be handed down as the greatest person
It was a glory that was unlikely to be obtained, but it instead raised his rossed in research, he was able to continue drea of the world
However, that vanity───was broken by a single, very young boy
Young Saigou Homura who possessed the ”Proto Idea”, had steadily advanced the research that the man should have disposed of After one year passed after adopting Hoed inthe research he referred to as BDA had been accomplished
That research which should have paired up with the Star Particle Bodies, officially called Blood Particle Acceleration Device, was now used forthe Star Particle Bodies
However this research───was the reason why the guardian iven the laboratory for the first time
When he felt the liave up on his original research and switched over to the research of Star Particle Bodies───and yet, the young Homura completed it
That moment, the shock that assaulted him couldn't probably be described by mere words
Hoet the look that man had in his eyes when he saw him for the last time
Before long, the man disappeared It was probably then when the research of Star Particle Bodies and the BDA that Homura completed were taken
For several months after that, Homura who ended up alone was dra anyone
(Okay, lets return back to thinking Main question is what happens from now on)
While re even as he dozed off
During these three days, He searched for suspicious people within his uardian seemed to be the most suspicious
(That said, I can't believe that he was able to ress in the Star Particle Body research Even If I think back now, he should have been researching it in a co direction)
As a child, Ho was the Star Particle Bodies However, thinking about it now, he had a hunch that he was indeed researching such a thing based on all his actions and conduct
However, sadly for himpresently, the creation of Star Particle Bodies from scratch is absolutely impossible
As to why, it's because the Star Particle Bodies weren't artificial creations, but natural instead
Since there's no knoas the creature of the source that it was extracted fro them from scratch was impossible, towards mass production of the particles, he used the way of parasitic in”
Because of that, the Star Particle Bodies can bundle together into Astral Fila to the body tissues, collecting inforenetic information of the person, the filaments unravel one by one and are incorporated into the cells, dividing within the body
This is the parasitic ou Homura understood as of now While these parasitically eno altered fro the them becomes possible
───Confidentially speaking It was also given to the livestock of dietary education and the progress was secretly watched over, however the project ca as the livestock was attacked by the Minotaur My sto too much on whether the infor corpses Section Chief Carla would definitely get angry if it did
Okay, this is painful so let's return to thinking
These astral filaments were both the foundation and the true shape of the 3S Nano Machine Unit that was commonly mentioned
”Everything Company” has described it as man-made, however this is a complete and utter lie
3S Nano Machine Unit───These Particle Bodies that even possessed the perpetual ou Homura's father discovered creatures or maybe plants that contained astral fila the natural world, and after successfully extracting them, he incorporated them into Star Particle Bodies
It was understandable that the guardian man misunderstood them as man-made That's because this is also a proof that an infor environmental information exist in the world
It would be a great discovery if that was to be the case, however if it came to be known that the Particle Bodies were connected to natural creations, then it would raise one big problem
These extracted astral filain”, are limited in number that existed The reason why Hoht be because the population of the life-for were few in nu that would break the natural balance of the world
With Saigou Homura's method of parasitic multiplication, only the altered specienome information could be extracted For this reason, rather than Star Particle Bodies being unable to display their full ability───if they were altered, they would be iy generated by reorganization of environmental infor in the blood vessel at the same rate and the force exerted by the Particle Body varied depending on the corresponding base sequence and was omitted below as a prohibited matter
That was irrelevant now
Based on the aforeou Homura had to think about
First───Who is the person that produced the typhoon 24, the ”Bull of Heaven” If the ”Bull of Heaven” is really aforth from the Star Particle Bodies, then it meant that there was someone whose research speed far exceeded Homura's
In that case, the priuardian man
()
However───is that really possible?
The reason Homura understood that the roots of Star Particle Bodies lay in natural creations, was largely due to the Gift of ”Proto Idea” When using particle lance that it wasn't man-made, so it was because of that that he chose the method of parasitic multiplication In the first place, that person, to the very end, should have believed that they wereit
While it was so beyond his memory, that belief of his was unshakable
In that case, the answer lies elsewhere
(”Bull of Heaven” Could it be that you are the ”Origin”?)
Homura whose heartbeat sped up fro to hide that fact
Information life-form that manipulates the intention of environenerated like a haze If that were the true nature of the ”Bull of Heaven”───
(There's plenty of reasons to fight it)
There's a change of advancing the research of Star Particle Bodies So this time, he should oppose it from the front
There were lots of anxiety regarding the death of his parents or the inal mission
The reason he started the study of the Star Particle Bodies was because he believed that it was useful for the future of the ”Canaria Faroup like ”Everything Cohout the world became their investor, then it would provide the faood environment
It was not that he was tempted by Queen's cajolery
There was a hoou Homura had to protect
Therefore he would return to the present era as quickly as possible Everyonecontact for three days If it wasn't a Golden Week, it would surely turn into a big problem
(No, nor Golden Week If it goes poorly, the police et involved huh? Well, I believe Iza-nii will give them a skilful excuse)
If it was that person, he would handle it well
Or he will deceive them in dramatic and extremely flashy manner
Ihed a bit
＊
Ayato kept poking Ho and called out to him a little worriedly
”Senpai? Um, did you hear that I said?”
”Ah, ”
Ayato pursed eventoo htly apologizing
”Really sorry What was it?”
”As I said, the Gay of the ”Bull of Heaven” and the Minotaur Neither of theht? What should we do from now on?”
If you are fighting, then I'd like you to decide on the guiding from now
From Ayato's natural complain, Homura folded his arms and wore a difficult expression
”Even if you say that, Minotaur aside, fighting with the ”Bull of Heaven” is pointless cumulonimbus Cloud's shape would stay as is In the first place, that's not so isn't the only way to win the Gift Gaht?”
”Then, what should we do?”
”First, run from the ”Bull of Heaven” There's no need to defeat that On top of that, wait for the Minotaur to show up If e in it not long froht victory conditions”
Ayato blinked in surprise from Ho books in the rooh consideration to it deep down
Ayato sat in front of Homura and continued with a serious expression
”Then, Senpai, you already have the s of a plan?”
”Well, I'm about halfway there Want to hear?”
”I do Rather than that, please say such things faster!”
Sharing information is ier
However before explaining, there's a need to redefine the victory conditions of this battle once more
Homura took out his phone from his chest pocket, and looked over the contents of the invitation letter
