178 # 167 History of humanity and sub-races.txt (1/2)

When we arrive at Leaprich I serve the three of them a honey drink and introduce Ix.

'This is Ix from Ex Machina. Ix, say hello.

Did you order this?

Yeah. Orders.

Yes, Master. This is Ix from Ex Machina.

'Hello. Sweetheart. I'm Cain. I'm your savior.

What, you're picking on her? This man.

My savior is the master.

Ix, nice! Bloody hell.

”Ha-ha!　Well, you got dumped.　Anyway, she doesn't sound like the kind of girl you hear about in the legends.

'Please don't try that with me,'

Nefi is a hard man. Well, we've come to talk to you. Are you our enemy first?

You're a man who doesn't hesitate to ask.

”The Master's enemies are my enemies.

Hmm. So I guess that means you're not the enemy now.

That's good to know.

Then Neffy asks.

'You do know that in our history, humanity has been the enemy to the Ex Machina, right?

Yes, sir. We have been hostile to humanity and the sub-species.

Why did you antagonize him?

Because we were attacked.

Then Aura is surprised.

'We were attacked by humans and subspecies!　Was that all of a sudden?

We were attacked when we arrived on this planet.

I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Then Cain says.

'It's not that strange. It's a different story now and in the past. Records show that the Ex Machina appeared more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, humans and sub-race were fighting wars all over the place. If an Ex Machina appeared suddenly, it was only natural that they would attack.

Yes, that's true. Yes, but the irony is that it would lead to cooperation between humans and subhumans.

'What?　What do you mean?

It is believed that for the first time humans and sub-species are working together in the face of a huge, unknown enemy called the Ex Machina. If it wasn't for the Ex Machina, this country might not have existed.

'You can't work together without facing the enemy... it's certainly ironic.

'So what happened to the Ex Machina?　How are you still alive?

The Ex Machina was deactivated due to lack of energy and I was created as an Ex Machina that operates with magical power from the Summoner.

'So whatever the outcome, Ex Machina wanted to coexist with the summoner. Is that a unilateral decision on your part?　My guess is that there's a summoner involved.

Certainly one-sided coexistence is not coexistence. What do you mean by that?

'Exactly. A summoner named Darius appeared naked before us, proving that he had no intention of being hostile.

appeared naked? You okay? That guy.

You've never heard of this summoner... have you heard of him?

I have no idea.

Proving that you're naked and unwilling to be hostile doesn't go down in history...that's a tough one.

I know.

Good for you! Mr. Darius! I know someone who does.

I don't know if it's the same person, but I'm pretty sure there was a man named Darius among those who advocated for coexistence with the subspecies over three thousand years ago.

Oh! Sounds like a good idea.

”Darius spoke with our Commander-in-Chief and created this capsule with me to save the Ex Machina from extinction.

I see. Have you got a general idea of what's going on?

Okay. How would you like to do?

I will speak to the king myself.

I understand.

The story is going on between the two of them. Will it be okay in the end?

Is Ix okay after all?

What are you going to do if you're not okay?

Grammas!

Mr. Nephi would be surprised if Ix were to be subjected to disciplinary action or something.

'Then we'll cut ties with the guild and the country, and we'll all live happily together on an empty deserted island.

There's a battleship, and there's plenty of food on that island. The poison seems to be gone, and that kind of game life isn't too bad.

'Haha!　Good answer!　I'd love to throw Grammas out and live like that with my summonses, too.

'Grammas...you're serious. It.

Of course you do.　Because I'm a summoner, you know?

Every summoner would want to do something like that. Then Aura says.
