Chapter 62: Volume 9 - Epilogue

– Then, should I do that?

Murmured Charlotte, who looked at the ceiling after sitting deeply in the chair of her laboratory.

(I don’t have a choice but to consult her)

Deciding so, Charlotte tapped the floating keyboard, holding a new candy in her mouth.

Before long, the appearance of a woman who wore a white coat similar to hers was displayed on the monitor.

She’s Vitaly Tynyanov.

『… oh! How unusual. Or rather, this is the first time since I became like this that I’m talking with you in this way』

– I want to hear your opinion about something, after all.

『… hou. That’s also unusual』

Being surprised, Vitaly rounded her mouth.

– I’ll be sending a file now. Take a look at the contents. The code to open it is the name of your loved one and your birthday. Because it’s a confidential matter, you are prohibited to tell anyone about this, as well as leaking it on the cybernet.

『Not even Judal?』

– For the time being. After hearing your opinion, I planned to go and talk with him directly. … so, what do you think? Although it’s a huge amount of information, you should be able to read it in no time.

『Wait a moment』

She waited for 30 seconds.

『I finished reading it. I’m amazed. If a scientist before the First Attack read this absurd story about a《space-time moving device》time machine and the like, it would laugh scornfully——but now that won’t be the case』

– … yeah, a durable device coming from the steel core of a Savage. And where it may be possible to use the power from their energy and core. In reality, it makes me think that it’s an ability that the Savage can use.

『… however, this kind of conclusion is unthinkable from the physics of the modern era. There are too many logical leaps. Who’s the inventor of this theory? Charlotte, it wasn’t you, right?』

– It’s the father of your lover——Bill Harvey. Bill-kun.

『… what the hell?』

It’s no wonder that Vitaly is surprised.

Bill Harvey was the son of a wealthy person, but he wasn’t a researcher.

『Why can a human like him invent such a theory? As expected of an average citizen who was able to reach this level… 』

– Surely, it’s thanks to brain computing.

After the death of his wife Linis Harvey.

Bill Harvey retired from the line and handed over the seat of the company president to Judal Harvey, his particular son, and continued living in his residence.

Only a few people know what he’s doing.

But Charlotte knew.

『Brain computing?』

Vitaly said, being surprised.

At any rate, brain computing connects the computer directly to the brain.

It’s also possible to fully utilize the brain, since only a 10% of it is used every day, increasing the potential of thinking ability, learning ability and calculation ability of human beings.

– As a matter of fact, it’s said that it has such an effect. It’s a wonderful achievement. However, it seems that the are some abnormalities in the personality of the person, and the burden on the body is too big.

『So, it wasn’t your creation——』

– It cannot be helped if you are an observer and you are broken. Well, when the limit comes to your body, or in case this world cannot be helped, then it’s possible to take that into consideration and do so. It might be like a plan to prolong your life, or to release yourself onto the cybernet world and live forever there.

『It’s a painful thing to not die. So it’s not that good either』

– I can imagine it.

Charlotte, who took out a stick from inside her mouth, took a short pause, then continued her words, while putting a new candy on her mouth.

– … let’s return to the topic. He——Bill-kun devoted himself to research using brain computing, without caring if he approached death——even if he destroyed his own body and mind. Do you know the reason why?

『Because there was a thing harder than death』

– Correct. I didn’t hear his objective directly. After all, I hacked and robbed the data. But, I was able to presume so. Both him and his research on medicine

『The disease that killed Linis——to treat her incurable disease』

– Pretty much. To sum it up, Bill-kun is going to return to the past using the time machine, and we can infer that he’s going to try and deliver the developed medicine to Linis. He’s also fighting god, in the same way as his wife did. That’s why he is fighting the cause and effect of this world.

『As a matter of fact, in case the time machine is completed, if that is even possible, what do you think will happen if Bill Harvey returns to the past and hands over the medicine to Linis Harvey?』

– Maybe this world won’t change in the absolute. That’s what I think.

『So, interpretation of multiple worlds, huh?』

– Bull’s eye. But, I don’t know what will actually happen. Therefore, I’ve been considering that I definitely want the time machine to be completed. To understand how is going to be connected with this world. Besides——.

Grinning and smiling, Charlotte continued.

– The theory of a time machine is also applicable to warp navigation. Rather, the feasibility in that area is higher. No, I can say that it’s possible. If warp navigation is possible, then we’ll be able to find out from where the Savage are coming and cut off the root.

『… but, Charlotte. Why are you telling all of this to me?』

– Well, I have one big question.

『A question?』

– To be honest, do you think that all of this theory was really invented by Bill Harvey? Even if he could demonstrate his intelligence beyond the limits because of brain computing, and as I said earlier, he’s surpassing the speed of processing, thanks to him only? To me, it looks like he’s using a borrowed theory.

『He unintentionally didn’t hide it?』

– That sure is a possibility. However, it’s beyond absurd and considerable that even I, a genius, don’t understand the process. Even if he was concealing it.

『… what are you saying?』

– I can hardly believe that this theory can draw a conclusion, even if Bill Harvey, who had thinking abilities and knowledge of an ordinary and average person, made use of brain computing to fully utilize the brain to the point of destroying his personality over the course of four years. No matter how much you think about it, those numbers don’t add.

『In other words, did someone give knowledge to him? However——』

– Yeah.

Charlotte grins and smiles, as she takes out the candy from her mouth and continued her words while swinging it like a stick.

– There’s no ordinary person who can derive to a process beyond imagination of a genius like me and who can give knowledge to Bill Harvey.

『Wait, are you doubting me?』

– No, I’m not.

Taking a short pause, Charlotte replies.

– I’m suspecting of God.

『… God?』

– Otherwise, he couldn’t be able to draw such a conclusion. Or maybe a time traveler who came from the future using a time machine?

『That joke didn’t make me laugh』

– I figured that much. But, there’s only one person in my head whose existence could be the character that won’t make you laugh.

『The Pope of Puritaria, the prophet Serivia Notre Dame Paulo III, right?』

– You understand it well.

『If she’s a time traveler, then that will hit the mark about her prophecies. I just thought so』

– By the way, Bill and Serivia have already contacted each other and have agreed on the construction of a research facility for a time machine at Lunaltia Base. That’s the sort of data I also found.

『In other words, Serivia Notre Dame Paulo III thought about making a time machine using Bill Harvey?』

– It’s feasible to draw such a conclusion.

『For what reason will she be using it for? Does that mean that she came back to this time axis, looking to the future for the sake of the prophecies?』

– Come now, I don’t have the slightest idea about that. Anyway, inform me if you have understood anything.

Saying that, Charlotte holds a new candy on her mouth and stood up.

『Are you going to where Judal is?』

– Yeah, since he’s in Little Garden now. I thought of telling him what we just talked about.

Charlotte told her a warning.

You are reading story Hundred at novel35.com

– Don’t get in the way.

The guesthouses of Little Garden.

One of them is the place where Judal is staying in Little Garden.

A woman in a white robe appeared in the drawing room.

– I’m sorry I kept you waiting.

She’s the main analyst of Little Garden, Charlotte Dimandius.

– Don’t worry about that. More importantly, what’s your business? It’s rare to have a talk coming from you.

– Before that…. I’m sorry but, can she leave?

The bodyguard of Judal.

Charlotte said, looking towards Neveah.

– … Judal-sama…

What should she do? Neveah turns her eyes towards Judal.

There, she noticed.

Charlotte jested, while showing a smile on her face.

– Whaaat, it’s impossible for me to do this and that with Judal-kun. But I may be pushed down by him.

– Hey, what are you saying…!

– Hahaha, it’s a joke.

– … yareyare…

Judal said, looking with an exasperated expression at Charlotte who laughs due to the prank.

– Neveah, there’s no problem. You can leave.

– Is that really fine?

Neveah directs a doubting gaze at Charlotte.

– Yes, wait outside the door. I’ll call you as soon as something happens.

– … understood.

– Well then, shall we start talking?

At the same time Neveah left the room, Charlotte began to talk.

About the research that Bill seems to be doing.

About the Pope Serivia Notre Dame Paulo II who seems to be cooperating with him.

Charlotte told Judal the conclusion that she discussed with Vitaly.

– ‘A time traveler that came from the future’? you, who are called a prodigy, to say such interesting things.

– I think the same too. But, this isn’t only my opinion. As I said before, this is also an inference after talking with Vitaly Tynyanov.

– Hou.

– Well, let’s leave that conversation for later. So, what do we do? Regardless of the medicine, are you going to keep constructing the research facilities of the time machine? Or are you going to stop them?

– I’m going to leave it like that. If my father wanted to become the president of the moon——the chairman of the first Lunaltia Alliance party, then the story would be different. I don’t care what they do, as long as they aren’t a hindrance to me. Besides that, I don’t think that things like warp navigation or a time machine are possible anyway.

– … you are right.

– What, you are dissatisfied.

– It’s because of the conversation just now. The fact that Puritaria might be involved behind Bill-kun’s research, you know? That’s a little worrisome.

– What do you mean?

– Even if you make up to it, even if Bill-kun make up to it, I don’t have the slightest idea about what exactly Puritaria is doing at all. It has me anxious to that extent. Besides, you are listening too much opinions suggested from Puritaria for the construction plan. Have you really not heard anything from that Pope?

– I haven’t. Because I’m not interested. But…

– But?

– In the creed of those women, I heard that the moon is an important element. I don’t want to disturb Puritaria and turn them and their believers into my enemies. So basically, I’m making sure to pass the opinion of the church side. I understand your displeasure, but please have patience.

– … In short, there’s no problem to steal Puritaria a substantial control of Lunaltia Base?

– I will enter the moon base and before long, declare independence. So she——Serivia Notre Dame Paulo III, said that there’s no problem if I become the president. I never knew about her afterwards.

– You’ll fulfill the promise with Est Steinbelt. That’s your only purpose——

– … if

– Hmm?

– If the time machine is completed, I’ll definitely want to use it to report Est. That I became the president of the moon. That everything is thanks to her——but I don’t think that such a thing is possible. So, I’ll move forward, looking only at the reality. That’s all there is to it.

– You and your parents, are truly…

Charlotte was sighing, looking amazed,

– However——

– However, what?

– Hurrying too much might end up destroying you.

– In any case, I don’t have much time to live. I guess even you know that. That’s why I won’t choose the means. To be the president of the moon. And, to reach that goal, that dream, I’ll even sell my soul to the devil.

– … if you say so, then do as you like. That’s all what I had to say. See you later.

After talking with Charlotte Dimandius, Judal was heading alone to the basement of Little Garden.

To visit the hidden place there, the 10th sector.

To meet his little sister, Liza Harvey.

– Liza, won’t you stop pretending that you are sleeping already? Because I know that you are awake.

Judal calls out, standing in front of the capsule containing Liza.

Liza opened her eyelids and smiled.

– Good morning, Onii-sama.

– It seems that you were appearing in a lot of places. I heard from Claire that you went to Yamato as well.

– I wanted to experience this Little Garden and the things about this world properly before I woke up. There are things you can’t understand with data alone.

– I see.

The capsule opened.

Liza was freed.

When she got out of the capsule, the thorny ivies wrapped around her body disappeared as particles——and those particles created a white dress and covered the body of Liza.

– Well then, Onii-sama, let’s go to the moon.

Standing in front of Judal, Liza said.

– … Hou.

Liza inclined her head lightly, looking at Judal who had his mouth round in surprise.

– What is it, Onii-sama?

– I didn’t expect that you’ll start talking about going to the moon yourself.

– To explain the secrets of this world, to surpass God. Because those are the objectives of Okaa-san, and the reason for my existence. For those reasons, it’s necessary to go to the moon. No matter what Nii-san’s objectives are, that’s what I think.

– Is that so?

Showing a smile and a grin on his face, Judal continued.

– If so, then let’s go to the moon——

Judal grasps the extended hand, and Liza answers.

– Yes, Onii-sama.
