Tyra, your ancestors are back!

"Let Hyperion set sail, aiming at the Pine Heart Valley in the middle of Ursus—I have a hunch that we can meet Kelsey there, and she may be able to solve many of our doubts today."

"And after that?"

"Going to Columbia, the progress of the end industry is officially on the schedule."

"Well, maybe I can say hello to a few old friends in advance—speaking of...Alice Consul, have you considered the worst situation we will encounter in the future?"

Yajue, who seemed to have thought of something, looked at Alice beside him, seeming a little curious.

"Well... At the last meeting, a proposal was put on the table, Lord Duck—that project was called the Ark."

"Abandon the home planet, take all the people you can bring, and transfer to the man-made war satellite-cross the subspace to find a second home."

"This plan was dismissed due to uncertainty and the destruction storm caused by the ether phase engine in the void...We finally chose to sleep on this planet, but we were not unprepared... "

"Abandon this planet?"

"If home is no longer home, if everything is falling apart irrevocably - letting go is the best thing to do."

Alice shrugged indifferently. At the moment when the moon was shining in the sky, the Consul looked up at another man-made satellite of the old era above Terra—it was one of the treasures of technology that gathered the wisdom of ancient humans.

...

"Or... Duck Jue—"

UMP45 interjected into the conversation at the side, and a smirk flowed from the corner of the humanoid girl's mouth, which was quickly put away, revealing a serious expression——

"...When the last remnant of ancient human beings fell into eternal sleep, accompanied by the unwilling cry of the last soul of this species, they returned everything to the sea of ​​consciousness—at that time, the last immortal of mankind will emerge from his throne Standing up, He will forever abandon the material body and turn into a god of the void."

"——Telling the world and even the universe the eternal revenge from ancient mankind~"

"Uh...Miss 45, are you kidding me...Madam Consul...Madam—?!"

"...Of course—you don't think it's a good thing to become a god in the void, do you, Yajue?"

Seeing that Alice, who was distracted by the moon, was pulled back by the call of Duck Jue, and seeing the funny look of the jumping duck in front of him and the unconcealed smirk of UMP45 next to him, the consul showed a helpless look. expression...

Chapter 43 A Little Precursor Shock

Unknown time, unnamed village outside Chernoborg

"——Please tell me truthfully, Lilia, how many people were involved in your plan?"

The existence known as Kelsey had a secret conversation with Lilia in a certain village in Ursus.

"...six or seven. Maybe more, we wouldn't be openly together and we'd be caught - including me. Everyone lost something irreparably in that 'accident' s things."

"Since when did you start planning this?"

Kelsey frowned and looked at his late student's wife, feeling more and more uneasy in her heart. It wasn't from the woman in front of her who came to her for a revenge plan, but from some unforeseen, more long-standing existence.

"From the moment I learned that the first crossbow arrow shot by the minions of the Fourth Army in that research institute sinfully pierced my child's father's neck, since then... I have paid everything for it. "

"Kelsey, I'm not foolhardy. Although due to physical reasons, the time I worked with you was very short, but...I have also done some things, such as—"

"You found the location of Grand Duke Vanya, the Pine Heart Valley Sanatorium outside the mobile city."

"And this former staff officer of the Fourth Army, and most likely one of the driving forces behind the sarcophagus incident, Archduke Ursus, is currently in the most vulnerable period of his defense in his long career."

Kelsey took the woman's words and came to a conclusion——

"You want to carry out an assassination, Lilia, but this revenge is still considered "brave and foolish."

"But this is one of the few things I can do, Director Kelsey..."

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

Kelsey and Lilia's assassination team in the woodlands outside the Pineheart Valley Sanitarium, Ursus

"Director, since you have always known where Grand Duke Vanya is...are you really just sitting on the sidelines? You should know what secrets he holds."

"The real secret has been sealed forever in that research institute. To this day, Ursus' army has not received the benefits they covet, Lilia"

"Director Kelsey, you know that's not what I'm talking about!"

"Alas... Lilia—the real owners of that sarcophagus are still alive... You still have one last chance to repent, before you actually step into that sanatorium."

Seemingly seeing that words could not convince this junior, Kelsey chose to throw out a piece of weighty news after a short deliberation, hoping to dispel the young man's impulsive thoughts...

"What... what??"

Seemingly shocked by this news, the woman called Lilia was stunned for a moment.

"The real owners of that sarcophagus are still alive—those forerunners have never been forgotten by this world."

"Maybe some of them don't care about the sarcophagus incident, but someone must be offended by it—"

"As for this accusation, Lilia... Ursus will definitely make a compromise, Ursas will definitely make a compromise - there is no existence on this land that can resist those walking "forces of destruction"... ..Never before, even natural disasters will bend their knees to their will."

"And Grand Duke Vanya, Marquis Boris, and even the entire Fourth Army may all become victims of this compromise. You shouldn't go into this muddy water, Lilia."

“…”

"Director Kelsey..."

"...Lilia, have you changed your mind?"

"Boss, the legends of the forerunners are too far away for me...really too far away-I can't wait, and I can't wait for the retribution of those nobles of Ursus...I want them to swallow it with my own hands Bitter fruit."

"I don't need a fair trial, Director Kelsey—to put it bluntly, what I want is a lynching."

"...This is the last time, Lilia... You must leave Ursus afterwards, there will be no place for you in this country... You will go to the countries farthest from Ursus -"

Kelsey sighed deeply, and looked at the Ursas Sanatorium in the distance...

If she raises her vision a little higher, she may be able to see the hidden Hyperion among the clouds. If she sets off a few days later, they will receive the news that the mayor of Chernoborg, Marquis Boris, has died. Information...

It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world. These neglected news are destined to give Kelsey and Lilia a small forerunner shock.

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

In the nursing home, the woman with white hair and purple pupils was heading towards the manor where the Grand Duke was. The Ursus officer who wanted to stop the interrogation of the woman retracted his body like an electric shock when he saw the tall figure following the woman. hand.

"Internal guard... Why is there an internal guard in the sanatorium, and what is the identity of that lady..."

The officers, who had the misfortune of encountering this strange combination, groaned as they stepped out of the way.

"We are here, ma'am - this is Grand Duke Vanya's room, please do as you please... We won't disturb you."

The inner guard who arrived in front of a certain door number stopped, and the dull voice through the mask notified the consul of his arrival, and at the same time he made a gesture of invitation and left the scene quickly.

......

"Going pretty fast."

Sensing the traces of a certain internal guard gradually disappearing, Alice shook her head and stepped into the residence of the elderly archduke amidst the discussion of the nearby Ursus officers.

"Cough cough cough... are you?"

Grand Duke Vanya, who was blind, heard the sound of the door opening, and subconsciously turned his head towards the door.

"I brought a question, but... I think this question is meaningless, Archduke Vanya of Ursus."

Alice, who glanced at the Grand Duke's body, already knew the physical condition of the old Ursus, and gave up her original plan after a short thought.

"Ahem...a question...does the young man belong to His Majesty, or the army...or...the inner guard? I just felt the breath of the inner guard..."

The Grand Duke asked about the ownership of the female voice in front of him, as if with a hope...

"Neither...you're the young man, little one—well, no...by the lifespan of your species you're probably an old man?"

The consul who pulled out a chair and sat down stared at the old Ursus who was on his deathbed.

"I'm bringing an inquiry from the Kazdel United Council...Well, maybe I'll be more familiar with you if I change my name?"

Looking at the old man with a confused and confused face, Alice paused——

"I bring a question that belongs to the forerunner, because you have meddled with what should not be meddled, Grand Duke of Ursus - the country you serve gave me the right to be by your side and to witness your end, and that The inner guard showed me where you are."

"Cough cough cough... the forerunner... is really unbelievable, the existence in those legends?"

Duke Vanya, who received a completely unexpected answer, sat up tremblingly from the bed. There seemed to be a bit of doubt and surprise on the face of the blind old man, and then it turned into relief——

"...I am Alice Saleh, the Grand Archon of the Forerunners, the last witness of your life. Due to your current situation, I will no longer hold you accountable."

Alice, who had a panoramic view of the latter's expression, was not interested in knowing what the Grand Duke Vanya was thinking at the moment, but just told the late old man in front of him his identity.

"...Isn't it the emperor, or the military? I understand—then...can you chat with me, a dying old fellow?"

"of course."

Chapter 44 Maid Outfit Kelsey

"The door is unlocked, come in..."

Pine Heart Valley Nursing Home, at the door of Grand Duke Vanya's ward, Kelsey, dressed as a maid, knocked on the door—what surprised her was that the answer from the door was not the aging voice of the old Grand Duke, but a young female voice.

"Your Excellency...it's time to take medicine."

Pushing open the door, Kelsey saw the Grand Duke Vanya sitting on the bed. The latter had his eyes closed and leaned quietly on the bed without making any response...

"He is dead...and Ursus will forget him - and the clothes are good."

Just when Kelsey was puzzled, a young female voice from the balcony announced the ending of Grand Duke Vanya. Kelsey looked along the source of the voice and saw the back of a tall, white-haired woman. It made Kelsey feel a little strange, she had never seen such a young white-haired lady among the dignitaries of Ursus.

Moreover, she is strong, or...dangerous.

"Who is Your Excellency?"

The cat's ears, which are unique to the Filin tribe, were slightly puffed up. Kelsey gently put the plate holding the medicine aside, and tensed up, she approached the white-haired woman standing on the open-air balcony.

"That's interesting.... has the long time made you forget us... or do you not know me at all? Kelsey."

Alice Saleh turned around, Mon3tr was only one centimeter away from the tip of her nose, but it was difficult to go any further.

"Well... little thing, go back."

He raised his hand and tapped lightly on the forehead of the black creature, and the latter grunted aggrievedly and got behind Kelsey's back, no matter how the latter called, he would not show up.

"Hmm...it seems like you did forget about me...understandable—after all, 10 years have passed, and we've never met."

Alice, who patted Mon3tr back into Kelsey's body, looked at Kelsey's furry and nodded, showing an understandable expression.

"But you still remember Mebius, even going to wake her up personally..."

"When the doctor performed the operation on you, did he want to leave a deep impression on you?"

"No... the first words she said when she woke up allowed me to completely solidify her true impression—wait, who are you?!"

Thinking about whether it was a wonderful experience to wake up a postdoc for the first time, Kelsey frowned and responded subconsciously, and then realized something was wrong——

The bad premonition before the assassination plan seemed to be fulfilled at this moment.

"I am Alice, Alice Saleh - the consul of the joint council, I hope our first meeting did not leave any bad influence on you, the executor of the seeding plan."

"...?"

"You look shocked, Ms. Kelsey."

Looking at the film woman who opened her mouth slightly, Alice looked at her patiently, waiting for the moment when she recovered from her thoughts.

"....What did Ursus promise you to appease your dissatisfaction, Lord Archon?"

Kelsey calmed down and asked her question right away.

"Our legacy at Chernoborg and that city, a Marquis, a Viscount, oh, and he..."

Alice looked at Grand Duke Vanya who was sleeping forever on the bed...

"Judgment, of course I think it's more like the right to witness the death of an old man... That interesting inner guard finally gave me this right... But to be honest, it's quite boring."

The white-haired consul shook his head.

"What did the Grand Duke say?"

Kelsey looked at Alice in front of her.

"It's nothing... A person who is about to die speaks well—he complained to me at the end that the pine heart lilies planted in the valley hadn't had time to bloom, and I granted his last wish."

Kelsey followed Alice's eyes and saw that the Grand Duke who had been asleep on the couch was tightly holding a blooming pine heart lily in his hand, and the lily planted outside the window did not know when it violated the season and season at this time. The climate blooms in the valley.

"Ursus will not make any further entanglements with that laboratory and its related affairs-this is their promise to me."

"Your vengeance, or your vengeance for someone, is over, and perhaps I've saved you some other trouble, anyway—take your friends, and it's time we go, Ms. Kelsey."
