Tyra, your ancestors are back!

As if recalling something bad from the past, the white-haired woman got into the co-pilot seat of the suspension vehicle with some hesitation, and instinctively fastened the seat belt...

"You—do—care—rest—care—!!!"

Before Alice could sit still, the humanoid girl stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, and the hovering vehicle, already known for its high speed, made a shrill whistling sound and a series of warning sounds of "You are seriously speeding" disappeared around the corner of the street.

-------------------------------------

"Phew...thank you, 45."

Alice, who got off the car at the gate of the core area of ​​​​the parliament, straightened her messy hair and wrinkled white dress with slightly trembling arms, and looked at the tactical doll who was parking the car into the parking space...

"Oh... Commander?"

"Thank you for reminding me again of the glorious experience in the past when you took me to the battlefield with a hovercraft along the outer wall of a skyscraper at a 90-degree angle..."

Miss Alice, who rolled her eyes and gave it to her tactical humanoid adjutant, put her palm on the identity verification platform in the core area.

[Data matching completed, authentication successful, welcome back, Your Excellency the Consul. 】

"Walk 45.... Let's go straight to the top floor."

Looking at the adjutant lady who followed behind her after parking the car, Alice shook her head, and stepped into the entrance of the pyramid-shaped meeting hall first.

.....

"....It's such a familiar place, the Council Hall—"

Pushing open the door of the top-floor office, the room was not covered with thick dust as Alice expected. It seems that the cleaning robots in the meeting room have been cleaning for 10 years...

However, certain small decorations and souvenirs that are personal belongings are not so good - the minimally operating cleaning robots will not actively clean the personal belongings left here by the Archons.

"Ah... old friend..."

Picking up a photo frame that belonged to him, his thumb lightly brushed the glass to wipe off the dust, revealing the three people sitting in the center of the photo...

"Hmm... Kiana and Ms. Mebius—how are you?"

The white-haired girl who seemed to be full of energy in the photo, and the green-haired woman with a stinky face in the family photo——-san Alice, who seemed to have remembered something interesting, appeared. A somewhat nostalgic expression.

"45——You know what?... At the beginning, I thought this world was just a normal universe, and then we saw the brother and sister duo of Kevin and Kiyana and Mebiu Si...and when they saw me and you, their expressions were like seeing a ghost..."

"And the reality finally tells us that there is no magical Honkai energy or ready-to-drink collapse liquid in this world; there is only something called psionic energy - and then we think that this is probably a universe of stars, with some strange things at most Weird mod."

"After all, we did walk on the sea of ​​stars later..."

"Now, what new surprises will this familiar yet unfamiliar world give us in 10 years? 45, do you think it will be radiation or the subway?"

"You also created us and added a little bit of that... Oh yes, Girls' Frontline elements, but at that time, Commander, you always liked to joke that there were only frontlines without girls... I really don't understand you, Commander. What are you thinking about?"

"Maybe it's the world line of the young master now~ You really thought about the collapse technology in the end."

UMP45 put his hips on his hips and interjected into Ms. Alice's muttering.

"Haha—oh?"

Alice just smiled and didn't intend to explain anything to Ms. UMP45, and noticed the screen that suddenly lit up in front of her——

"There is a Pioneer transport plane requesting to park, Miss Alice—its identification number is directly under the name of Consul Ms. Mebius."

The AI ​​of the sky city, an artificial intelligence named Dandelai, appears again.

Chapter 2 Are we really going to save the world with a cat.jpg

"It looks like we have a guest—commander, do you think it will be the lady with green hair?"

45 and Alice looked at each other after hearing Dan Delai's report - a lot of doubts and puzzles also occupied the minds of the Archon and the Tactical Doll..

Who are the visitors after these ten thousand years, is it an accidental coincidence, or a long-planned plan?The consul, who was sitting quietly in the chair and thinking, didn't feel the aura of past friends on the transport plane, and she didn't think that after tens of thousands of years, there would still be people who would remember this place.

For a full 10 years, the era and civilization that belonged to this city in the sky, for the successors of the planet under their feet, I am afraid that it has already become a myth and legend, and it has even become extinct——

Are you a seeker looking for the glory of the past by finding a clue from the ancient ruins, or a tomb robber with evil intentions and wanting to break into this "no man" city? ....

"commander?"

As the gray-haired consul retracted his thinking, the voice from 45 just happened to follow——

"No... 45, I didn't feel the aura that belonged to Mebius... The transport plane was loaded with some strange guests..."

"...How to do it?? Just drive them out, I don't think these visitors from 10 years later are good people—"

The humanoid's dark golden eyes looked at Alice, waiting for her instructions...

"Argent, a squad of tactical humanoids can be awakened into battle at any time."

Similarly, as 45's voice fell, Dandelai's report followed immediately, and both seemed to be wary of the strange visitor.

"Then, Dandelai... wake up a humanoid squad."

After thinking for a moment, Alice nodded, agreeing to one of the two proposals...

"As for whether you want to throw these visitors out... it's up to you, 45, to decide..."

Tapping the armrest of the chair with his index finger, the consul narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Oh? Commander, let me decide where these guests will stay? Can the team members—"

"Dandrai—awaken all members of the tactical humanoid team designated code-named 404—"

Miss Alice, who saw what her adjutant wanted, readily agreed, and then gave instructions to the main control AI of Sky Island City.

"Understood, your Guards Squad 404 is undergoing wake-up procedures, and command has been re-transferred to Squad Commander UMP45."

Dandelai's projection nodded to 45 who seemed to be fully excited, and the latter gave Dandelai a thumbs up and looked back at the chair, staring at the picture Ellie motionlessly Silk.

"Thank you~ Commander, shall I go?"

"Go... If it's not villains with evil intentions, bring them to me."

The white-haired girl nodded slightly to her adjutant.

"Bring it here? The Great Conference Hall?"

After glancing at the conference hall, which was filled with souvenirs and even "relics" left by various past consuls, and considering the possibility that the guests might damage something carelessly, Miss 45 confirmed to Alice again.

"...No, take them to the reception hall below."

Alice, who was stunned for a moment, looked at various items in the conference hall, and immediately changed the meeting place.

"Understood, Miss Dandelai? - Communicate with me in real time through a separate thread. I need the real-time movements of those guests~"

"The information is synchronized, Miss 45—"

Dan Delai nodded at 45——Looking at the humanoid adjutant who left the meeting room to carry out the task, Alice turned her attention away from the closed door and looked at Dan Delai again...

"So... report on the status of our various plans, Dandelai."

"Understood, Consul——according to the data collected so far, I suggest that you make corresponding psychological preparations."

"... let's talk."

Alice's eyes darkened slightly after hearing Dandelai's suggestion, as if she was a little decadent and tired——

-------------------------------------

"The revival plan has failed. Most of the human shelters have been severely damaged. According to the last uploaded monitoring records, the internal members have basically died. Some survivors have disappeared after waking up early. The consul—even with the assistance of the stasis position, for ordinary humans 10 years of dormancy is still too long."

"Sure enough, it's still too long..."

The gray-haired consul's eyes are dark...

"Although the stasis position has been dubbed stasis, the slowdown is limited after all—and according to the last record, during the hibernation period, due to unknown reasons, an EMP shock that spread to the entire surface of Terra broke out. "

"Except for the undersea and low-earth orbit sky cities, all the ground shelters were severely damaged due to this strong impact... This is also the main reason for the failure of the revival plan-most of the shelters Life support has ceased to function properly, and survivors have been forced to leave their shelters."

“…”

The white-haired woman fell silent.

"Where are the two members of Kaslana's family and Dr. Mebius...?"

After a brief silence, she raised her most concerned question...

"According to the characteristic codes of the psionic waveforms of the three consuls left in Sky Island City, it can be confirmed that the three consuls are still alive, but their whereabouts are unknown."

"Let's take it as the good news among the bad news... Then, what about the Dandelai-inheritance plan."

Alice, who took a deep breath and exhaled it, calmed down and began to ask about the result of another plan.

"The result of the inheritor project is unknown, and it is judged that it may be out of control at present-according to the records, the last monitoring information interaction was 50 years ago."

"From the analysis of the final report of the submarine laboratory - one of the self-discipline main control cores of the Inheritance Project may have been severely damaged, and it has deviated from the original regulations."

"And, according to part of the surveillance analysis used to observe the civilized countries on the surface, it is not optimistic that the inheritor plan may have completely escaped control."

"Completely out of control...?"

Alice showed an incredible expression——

"If I remember correctly, this is a plan led by Mebius."

"Even the doctor couldn't foresee what would happen to them after 10 years of evolution—Alice Consul."

Dandelai shook his head, and gave a photo on the consul's computer - this is a satellite image taken at night, the entire Terra continent is lit up, but the eastern coastal area is completely dark, as if silent no man's land.

"This is?"

"Pictures occasionally recorded by remote sensing equipment 50 years ago...According to comparison records, the dark area should have been brightly lit like other areas."

"This darkness lasted for a long time before it recovered. We are not sure what happened there, but the originally busy maritime fleet of the local country completely disappeared after that."

"... Another bad news, huh—"

Taking a breath, Alice, who seemed to want to let out the boredom in her chest, put her last hope in the last plan that had never been hoped for.

"The Seeding Plan...I remember the executor of this plan, um...a catwoman who received Mebius's immortality surgery?"

"To be precise, it's the lynx gene, Ms. Alice—the executor of the seeding plan has a name."

"Name...? I really don't know this. I only read it in the plan progress report. At that time, she seemed to be still sleeping due to the side effects of Mebius's super-transformation surgery."

"According to the records, she woke up after the inheritor plan and the revival plan entered the execution phase, that is, when the surviving consuls went into dormancy. It is normal that you didn't have the impression at the end."

"According to the part of the record she uploaded in the terminal, her name is Kelsey; the mission of the Seeder to guide the civilization of the successor is still being carried out normally...but it seems to have encountered a lot of resistance... .”

"resistance?"

"There are several records in the database that Kelsey's executor uploaded and transferred her consciousness to the spare body after her death... According to the assessment, the resistance she encountered may not be small."

"Then it's good news—at least...there's hope."

"Tsk—"

Thinking of something, Alice let out a displeased voice.

"Consul?"

"You should know... Dandelai. When the Sower Plan was proposed, the entire Consul Council looked at the proposer's mentally retarded expression."

"Ah... you mean the researcher from [I'm going to save the world with a cat]?"

"That's right... Mebius actually agreed to this proposal at that time..."

"However... this is the so-called trick of fate... The carefully prepared plan failed or got out of control due to various unforeseen accidents——"

"The brain-twitching plan has been implemented so far...except that the executor has been doing sit-ups in the coffin board."

"Hmm...things are always full of uncertainty, Archon?"

"maybe..."

----------

Chapter 3 Miss 45’s legs were interrupted by a little monster. Why do I have such a dream?

"It's been 10 years, and you're still so annoying, UMP45—!"

Just as the consul in the conference hall was lamenting the impermanence of fate and becoming interested in a sit-up Miss Lynx, a white-haired tactical figure wearing a beret was staring at her in the aisle of the air city. The leading captain, emerald green eyes full of anger...

"Oh - 416 is jealous that I can meet the commander first~"

The leading 45 was blowing a cheerful tune, as if he was exercising high-intensity yin and yang to a certain humanoid girl who followed behind.

"Humph--!"
