“……………… It seems that the problem of Qianjiang's fear of high is not cured no matter what! Yuri sighed helplessly, ran back to Qianhu's side, and helped her to speak.

"But............ Looks dangerous, doesn't it? Qianhe's legs were a little weak.

“………… Hawkers! Yuli, Chiho is right! Look at the sign in front of you............" the boy said, pointing to a sign hanging on the flyover in front of the trio.

“………… What is written on it? Yuri asked, a little confused

"The sign says "Danger!" Floating wave explained.

"I guess it's dangerous............ Those two words...... Yes! So are we going to go to the rocket and have a look? Qianhu asked.

"It's okay, Chi-chan! Isn't there a nuko? If anything goes dangerous, just let Nuko send us back to our room! Yuri said with a big grin.

“……………… nu！ ………… Wrap it up with me! ”

"Look! Even nuko said so, didn't it? Yuri said, pointing to Nuko around the boy's neck.

“………… Go ahead! Chiho reluctantly agreed to move on.

Yuri, who had received Chinohe's consent, happily helped Chiho over the warning sign and continued to walk forward.

"Why did people in the past think of going to the universe? ………… There's nothing there, right? Yuri asked, looking at the rockets that were getting closer.

"Well! It's not that there is nothing............ After all, there are still stars, aren't they? Although the stars are separated by a considerable distance, it is ............"

“………… Is that to the stars? Yuri then asked.

"There must be some other reason............ I want to ......," Sendo said with a frown.

"For something else?"

"Hmmm! It's like ............ E-ho, you usually think about food before exploring, right? Qianhu gave an example.

"Sort of............" Yuri nodded.

"So people in the past should have wanted to know what to go to the universe!" Qianhu said.

The short flyover soon came to an end......

“…… It's here! Looks like you can go in from this entrance and have a look............," the boy said, pointing to the slightly sloping rocket in front of the trio.

"Sen-chan............ Take a hand and let me go up! Yuri looked at the dark entrance to the rocket and turned to her companion.

"Hmm!"

Chinohe nodded, crouched down and held up one of Yuri's feet with both hands............

"How?" She asked, looking at Yuri, who was already half on her stomach on the rocket hatch.

"Hmm............ It's so dark! Yuri looked inside the rocket for a moment, then grabbed the edge of the hatch with both hands and climbed into the rocket with the reaction force of the door panel under which her right foot was leaning............

As Yuri entered, the rocket began to shake, and countless pieces of ice fell down......

Probably because the rocket has existed for too long, the arrow body, which was originally firmly held by the steel frame, shook violently due to the change of center of gravity after Yuri entered the rocket............

"Not good! The rocket is falling! Senho, call Yuri out! Fubo shouted as he looked at the main body of the rocket that was beginning to tilt in the direction of the overpass.

"Good! …… Especially! Come down! Chiho immediately called out to Yuri, who was rummaging through the inside of the rocket.

"Huh?"

When Yuri heard Chinohe's call, she immediately sprang out of the rocket and ran to the boy with Chinohe.

“nuko！ Quick, get us back to the control room we just had! The boy shouted.

“nuyi~~~~！”

With the activation of Nuko's ability, a black hole sent the teenagers and girls back to the control room just now............

The rocket began to tip in the direction the trio had come from, and only came to a halt after smashing the entire bridge into the wall............

“………………”

Looking at the head of the rocket that rushed into the end of the observation room near the exit, the three of them all touched a cold sweat..................

"Hah.................. I almost died! Chiho sighed with some fear as he looked at the tragic scene caused by the rocket dumping.

"That............ I shouldn't have caused it, right? Yuri said embarrassedly.

“………… Half and half of it! Qianhu nodded.

"Sorry! ………… Wouldn't it be better to go over just now............" Yuri said, scratching her cheek.

“………… It's not all your fault, in fact, I want to see the rocket's ............ up close," Chido said.

"But if you go inside now............ It should be fine! Yuri said as she looked at the rockets that had been firmly embedded in the building after the dust had settled.

“………… Do you still want to go in? Qianhu asked in some surprise.

"Hmmm! I found a bag of what looked like food inside............ "Yuri said as she jumped on the rocket hatch and searched inside the rocket............

"Really............ Obviously there is still food, isn't it............" Qianhu looked at Yuri a little speechlessly as she was busy in the rocket.

Presumably because it had been found before, Yuri rummaged through a little and found the food package that had fallen into the inner corner of the rocket............

"Oh! There is...... The ............ she just found," she carefully jumped off the rocket with her hands in her hands.

"Did you find it?" Fubo asked.

"Hmmm! Got it............ That's what I just found inside the rocket! Yuri said as she handed the bag in her hand to the boy.

“………… It turned out to be coffee! The boy said as he looked at the coffee label on the bag.

"Coffee............ Yes! Grandpa's favorite drink! Yuri shouted.

"Sure enough, as long as it's about food, you won't forget it? ………… You this guy ............," Chito complained.

"But that's all I found in this rocket bay! ………… Don't you need to eat to go to the universe? People from before? Yuri was puzzled.

"Probably because this rocket is just an unmanned rocket for observation!" The boy guessed.

"Unmanned rockets?"

"That's right!" Fubo nodded.

"Why would you deliberately launch a rocket with no one to go to space?" Yuri then asked.

“………… Probably for communication! The boy said, picking up a metal disc.

"Communication?" Qianhu chimed in.

"That's right! Communication. As he spoke, the boy handed the disc to Chino.

"This is .................."

"I remember that in the past, people couldn't go to those farther places outside the solar system due to the limitations of technology, so they thought of recording human language and the cosmic coordinates of the earth on a metal plate and sending it to the universe by rocket, hoping that extraterrestrial life with more advanced technology would be able to access the earth through ............this information," the teenager explained.

"Is this the piece of metal?" Qianhu asked in surprise.

"That's right!" The boy nodded.

"I see!" Chiho looked curiously at the metal disc in her hand, and she felt as if she could feel the tireless pursuit of the universe by the humans in the past.

"Huh? Chi-chan show me! Yuri was curious and asked for a thousand households.

"Give!"

"Oh! The people in the past were amazing! Do you think that you can go to the universe to do it? Yuri said curiously, looking at the pattern on the disc.

"After all, it's the so-called human instinct to take it!" Qianhu sighed.

"Instinct?"

“…… I want to understand things I don't understand, and I dream of going to distant places and the like............" Chinoha explained.

"If Xiao Qian was born in that era, wouldn't he die happily? After all, I like to investigate ............," Yuri said as she returned the disc to Chino.

"What will happen to Sa~~............" Chito said with some uncertainty in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, the numbers on this disc are the same as the numbers on the rocket! This should be read four, right? Yuri said, pointing to the numbers on the rocket.

“…… It's true that the number four is written! Qianhu said in surprise.

"Probably this rocket is the fourth rocket that is about to be launched!" The boy said.

"If this is the fourth...... On the diagram downstairs, both No. 1 and No. 2 disappeared halfway through............ But No. 3 seems to have extended far away............" Chido said, recalling what he had seen in his previous room.

"Are you still flying............" Yuri's eyes looked straight at the sky, as if she was tracing the number three that had flown somehow far......

"And now ............"

“…… How far have you gone? ”

The two girls looked at the glittering disc and fell into an endless reverie............
