"Some of the masters intermarried with the natives of this planet and began to procreate. They are called because their master's blood has been diluted.
"......"
"Do you understand? This is the answer to your question. is nowhere to be found. There are only you who have his blood in your veins.
* * * *
Jin in Horai Island wondered if it was true that those who had strong blood of the as he said could use magic and those who did not could not use magic.
"Jin-kun, this is ......."
"Oh, yeah, right, Vee. Once upon a time, and once upon a time!
"A precious truth is being told now, isn't it? ......
* * * *
"So what have you been doing here all this time?"
Anne asked the next question.
"I will answer. I am the Last Servant, 700672. I am just waiting for my masters to rot away in their sleep.
How old are you, ......?
I am a creature of my master. Therefore, the question of how old I am is meaningless. To answer the question with the closest concept, I am more than 5,000 years old in terms of this planet's calendar since I was created.
"5000 years?
Reiko, Anne, Alectus, and everyone else listening on Horai Island were astonished by the answer.
"That's right. I am a homunculus. A false life. Therefore, there is no concept of death. I only age, cease, and decay."
Then why did you put the Needle in us to control us?
Needles?
Looking as if he had no idea, No. 700672 continued to ponder for a while, but finally found an answer.
"You mean a magic tool about two centimeters long and one millimeter thick?"
"Yes! Answer me! Why are you trying to control us?
Alexas, apparently overcome with emotion, gradually became louder and louder. But No. 700672 looked as if he didn't understand.
"Control? What are you talking about?"
Don't play dumb with me!
"No!"
Neige interrupted the excited Alexus.
"Good, Neige. I'm sure he has his reasons."
In contrast to Alectus, the 700672 replies in a calm manner
"I was in a long sleep until you came into the room a few minutes ago. ...... it has been about 300 years in your time."
700672 looks at a window in one of the walls.
"So the disturbances you speak of are unknown to me.
"Three hundred years ......"
Alectus and the others listening in Horai Island were half-amused and half-surprised at the length of time.
"But I have a thought that it might be possible. Tell me what's going on.
"Okay, okay. Actually, ......."
Forgetting to use honorifics any longer, Alexus explained about his clan. Then Reiko and Anne added their own explanations about the other clans.
"Hmmm. Perhaps it is the work of the <>."
"<>?"
"The last of the servants created by our masters. But this planet didn't have what the Masters needed, so it was left incomplete. They didn't listen to us."
So it's a homunculus, too?
Yes. The homunculus created by the masters was a failure, and that is .
"......"
Alectus was speechless. He still could not believe that the technology existed to create humans, however imperfectly, and that the being in front of him was one of them.
"I have not been able to move my body for about 400 years now. I have not been out of this place. That's why I didn't know what was going on out there.
According to 700672, 13 Dexiconai were created and all of them were supposed to be destroyed. and all were supposed to have been destroyed.
"But perhaps there was a Dexiconai that escaped obliteration.
"That being who called himself a 'negative doll', could that be the Dexiconai?"
Reiko interrupted.
"<>? Is that what they call themselves?"
"Yes. We met just before we came here, outside this room. She escaped by shifting her body.
I see. I have a general idea of what's going on. I see... I have a general idea of what's going on. ...... let me think about it for a minute."
700672 then lay down on the bed again, perhaps tired.
