Chapter 88 (1/2)

Volume 3 Chapter 2 part2

We were just about finished with restraining the elves

The AI spoke to Luxon and me

[It has co the case, this facility will need to self-destruct]

“You guys sure like to self-destruct Isn't that the same response Luxon made?”

Thereupon, the AI began to talk about the role of the historic ruins and this research institution

[This research facility was originally created for the sake of opposing the new breed of huer be acco the area untouched is a risk]

There are probably some people ould misuse the equipment, just like the elves who produced artificial lifeforms

Indeed, leaving this behind is certainly an unsafe move

“Are you okay with that? You just woke up, right?”

The AI, which hadti up fro sleep

How sad

[There's no problem I will transfer all of my data to Luxon If there is any object you need, carry it out of the vicinity Furthermore──take this It will be a necessary item for you, the one with the shi+p]

Some weird object with countless cubes attached to it appeared from the floor

It floated and looked shi+ny

[Accept it With this, I can accomplish more work than ever]

“What is this?”

[A very valuable object]

Marie leapt up when hearing that

“Treasure!”

[Correct It is a valuable object for us, but those of this world won't kno to use it, so they would only see it as a shi+ny ornament]

“──This really is the worst If there's no treasure, ht that this would be fantasy, but I never heard about it being sci-fi”

The ones who made elves were humans

Elves were created to oppose the new hu created for the sae world

It seeic

Whatever happened to that oto?

“Is there no other treasure?”

Marie, evidently depressed, attempted to check with the AI

[Expecting treasure inside a research institution won't do ood]

Marie wiped her tears with a sleeve and grumbled

“──We're going back”

How pitiful, going through such trouble only to end up with nothing

[However──if you bring this with you, it ht help It could be valuable in this world]

[What, so you do have so! Hand it over!”

Seeing Marie's sudden liveliness made me think about how similar she was to my sister in my previous life

I had suspicions that sheto be involved with her again in my second life

We were away from the ruins

Within our current location──

[◁‡w☤drftgy✚⊕☼!!]

──We were struggling to calm down a furious Luxon

“Calm down already”

[I am calm I will calmly destroy this object, pulverize it, turn it into ashes, and deciaaah!]

──Luxon broke down

Marie lied down on the ground with a vacant expression of hopelessness

“──Receiving this kind of thing doesn't make me happy”

Jilk and Greg, ere coenuine relief

“It's good that you're safe”

“Right, Marie We can just look for treasure again”

In front of us was the object the AI handed over during our final moments in the ruins

It seemed like a part for some kind of power suit armor, but I don't knohat part it is

The crazed Luxon couldn't help but kick up a fuss in front of the sharp part

Furtherrieved over how this junk part wouldn't make any money

Livia was in front of Luxon, bewildered

“Calm down, Luc! Look, take a deep breath, a deep breath!”

[I don't need to breathe]

“Err, uuess”

It was cute seeing Livia confused over the calot

Anjie confirmed the situation while beside me

“Leon, why aren't you re injured? Also, where were these elves in the ruins? Could it be that you captured them?”

She looked at the restricted elves with suspicion

I'm quite troubled on what to do with these elves

Since I shouldn't talk about the matter of the ruins so hastily, I was puzzled over what to say about them

“Oh, these guys are uh──umm”
