Nukos?

Countless photos and videos were displayed in front of the three of them with Nuko's operation, and they were intertwined layer by layer, making the two girls feel the impact they had never felt before!

"That's amazing! There are a lot of people in this! Yuri said excitedly.

"Are these all from the camera?" Qianhu also called out with some surprise.

"Yes!" Nuko replied.

"I expected it, but what I saw with my own eyes was more surprising than I guessed!" The boy was also shocked by the photos in front of him.

The girls' eyes were constantly scanning the photos and videos in front of them, and the sheer number of photos made them a little overwhelmed.

"Ahh This is ............" Chido suddenly noticed a triangular symbol on a photo with three young girls, she clicked on the photo curiously, so the photo was enlarged, and what was even more surprising was that the person in the photo actually spoke!

"Then ......" The short-haired girl on the far right of the photo is the first to speak.

"Move, speak!" Both Chiho and Yuri were taken aback.

“………… Is it a video or something? Qianhu guessed excitedly.

“…… The twelfth report of the Society for the Study of Mechanistic Evolution is now ......," the short-haired girl continued.

"Ah...... This time, the sample is this small robot...... We're going to name it Machine 17 B, a machine that injects some kind of program into the production equipment to force itself to multiply............" After the short-haired red girl finished her opening remarks, a small girl in the middle of the trio began her report with a small robot in both hands.

“…… It's a girl about our age............" Yuri was surprised.

"Hmm!" Qianhu's attention was attracted by the video in front of him, and he subconsciously responded.

"It's hard to believe that such a complex and magical program is a ............ created through mutation and elimination."

The little girl in the video is still continuing her report......

"Huh? Wait a minute! At this moment, the long black straight girl on the left interrupted the little girl's speech.

"Huh?"

"Evolution is what it should say! Explain someone else's design like this...... Isn't it a little too self-interested? The black girl continued.

"Huh? Is that so? The short-haired girl asked with some embarrassment.

"That's important, isn't it?" The black straight girl retorted.

The girl's costumes and dialogues in the video continue to have an impact on Chito and Yuri.

"Na!"

"Huh?"

"I seem to understand why Chi-chan wants to know about the past......" Yuri said as she clicked on more videos.

Countless videos began to play, and they were shown in front of the three of them one by one in the beautiful band performance:

There is a father who is overwhelmed with a crying baby and a mother who complains that he makes the child cry......

There are children competing in the school sports day and parents cheering hard............

There were people who were crying during the funeral at the cemetery where the three of them had passed......

There are also workers who are dedicated to their hard work............

The two girls dancing on the stage and the cheering audience let Chinohe and Yuri know that their former peers can still do this............

There is a stark contrast between the innocent young girls who fight and chase with their dogs and the politicians who push and scuffle each other............

Under the support of the tranquil forest and river, the battlefield is so deplorable............

Giant robots, airplanes and burning cities have caused human tragedy......

A seemingly leader stood on the podium and was complacent that his army was able to erase 500 million lives......

Countless teenagers and girls know what they don't know, and they haven't seen powerful weapons that they have never seen are constantly being used under the chain of hatred......

Countless beautiful landscapes and lives that are considered beautiful and unattainable by countless teenagers and girls have been continuously destroyed............

Beauty and destruction, creation and destruction, survival and killing, everything is performed under the auspices of music............

The teenagers and girls watched all this quietly and were deeply shocked.

“………… We only had two people for a long time after we started our trip, right, and even if we met Ukinami-chan and became three people, I sometimes felt lonely, and if I knew that there were still people who lived like this...... I always feel less lonely............"

"Yes............"

"That's right......"

The three of them continued to look at the video in front of them, and the distance between them was getting closer............

After watching the video, the three of them fell asleep directly in this room full of monitors, probably because their brains received a huge amount of information, and both teenagers and two girls slept soundly............

Yuri dreams of her and Chino's carefree childhood life under the care of her grandfather when she was a child, but she is awakened by the painful memories of the war that happened for unknown reasons and Chino, and Chido had to tell her elderly grandfather to leave her homeland, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and yawned to take back the camera on the table............

"Nuko is gone again! …… What kind of creature is that? Able to open gates and operate machinery............ They were also able to talk to us on the radio............ Hawkers! It doesn't matter to us............" she said with another yawn.

"Oh! There you have it, there you have it! Now, what the hell are you ............" Yuri noticed the movement behind her and was about to say something, but was surprised by the huge non-talking creature behind her, unable to speak......

"It looks like you're getting older............ Yuri said with a rough nerve.

“………… It's huge! ”

"Huh? Nuko............ "Yuri heard a familiar voice and realized that Nuko hadn't actually become as big as the one in front of her.

That's right! Yuri's eyes were an identical creature that was dozens of times larger than Nuko.

"Hah~~...... Especially!!! Chinohe stood up sleepily, only to find that Yuri was about to be devoured by a giant version of Nuko.

Just as Yuri was about to be swallowed by the large Nuko, the boy threw a forward lunge and knocked the huge version of Nuko away, and Nuko used his ability to transfer Yuri to the edge of Chino.

As if stunned by the abilities of his own kind, the large Nuko stayed for a while before fleeing to the outside of the submarine............

"I'll catch up first, you keep up,......" the boy said, and climbed the ladder behind the large Nuko......

"You ...... Are you okay? Qianhu asked Yuri beside him with concern.

"Looks like it's okay!" Yuri patted her chest in fear and said.

"So............ Let's catch up! Qianhu said after being fully armed.

"Hmm!" Yuri also said with her rifle in her hand.

“nuyi………………”

"Do you want to eat me too?" Chinoto came to Nuko's side and asked.

“nu!” Nuko squirmed in panic and shook her head.

She looked at Nuko for a moment and put her on her helmet............

"Can't you just have a conversation with that big guy? Ask why it wants to swallow Yuri............" Chido said as he ran to Nuko on his head.

"Na! It must be the same as Nuko! Yuri asked, following behind Chino.

"It looks like it's the same kind of ...... We need to hurry up and keep up with the waves, it's too dangerous to leave him alone to face that big guy! Chiho said to Yuri behind him.

"Hmm!"

The two girls ran to the bottom of the shaft, and after climbing up the ladder, they finally saw the boy and the huge nuko standing opposite the boy and confronting him............

"Floating waves! You okay? Qianhu ran to the young man and asked.

"Hmmm! It's okay. ”

"Na! Why are you eating me? Yuri was holding a gun and guarding the huge nuko in front of her.

"We're not going to eat the living...... "A voice more mature than Nuko's voice came from the radio on Yuri's chest.

"This voice ............," Yuri looked at the radio on her chest.

"Is this guy talking?" Chino's eyes looked at the large nuko and said.

"We don't have vocal organs, but we can interpret language through sound waves...... That's why I borrowed the equipment from this ship......" Tuba Nuko continued.

“nuyi………… nu? Nuko looked curiously at the large congregation in front of her.

“………… Due to the narrow communication range of the larvae, it is sometimes like this...... "As she spoke, a slit opened around the neck of the large nuko, revealing a head with glowing eyes like a mushroom opening an umbrella......

"This song is ............," Sendo said as he listened to a familiar song.

"It's generated by the machine receiving some of our communication signals," explains the large Nuko.

"What the hell are you? Why do you want to swallow Yu! Qianhu asked.

"What we want to swallow is actually that small machine owned by humans............"

"Ahh I see............" Yuri said, looking at the camera in her hand and the radio around her neck.

"Even small ancient machines contain high-energy ............" As the large nuko's voice fell, the originally smooth and flat surface of the submarine suddenly opened one launch hole after another, and more large nuko came out of the launch port, holding a small nuclear fuel missile that had not been completely swallowed.

"We can absorb thermally unstable substances and break them down in the body to make them more stable............ "The large Nuko who opened the umbrella explained to the trio.

"I see............" the boy said, recalling the sight of Nuko feeding on bullets and fuel along the way.

"When that's done, life on Earth will come to an end and we'll go into sleep again, and we'll go into slumber...... Our activities in this city are almost over! ”

"All the weapons in the city?" Chiho was surprised.

"After that, the city will gradually come to a standstill............ "Nuko Plus continued.

"Stagnation ......" Yuri didn't know what to do.

"Except for the top, we observe the entire city, and there is only one human left alive except for the three of you............"

"Great............ That person must be Kanazawa! Yuri shouted.

"Alive............" Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really? The human race in this city is almost extinct...... the boy said a little lonely.

"We really appreciate you sending the hatchlings over ............," said the large Nuko, looking at Nuko who was hiding behind Chino.

“nuyi?!” Nuko was a little surprised.

"We need to act in groups!"

“nu!” When Nuko heard this, she immediately climbed on top of Yuri and hid behind Yuri's neck.

"Why is Nuko scared?" Yuri wondered.

The large nuko stared at the nuko as if to convey something............

"Don't ............," Nuko shook her head violently, as if refusing something. However, it began to waver under the constant gaze of the large nuko, just when nuko was about to compromise.

"Wait a minute!" The boy stepped forward and said.

The large nuko began to turn his head to look at the human, who had been feeling dangerous since just now.

"Don't be nervous...... I just wanted to ask where you plan to go in the future. The boy asked in as soft a tone as he could.

"After receiving the hatchlings, we'll leave the city and move on to the next city ............," replied the large Nuko.

"Is that really the case? ………… I'm sorry then, I'm afraid I can't leave with you......" the boy said.

“…… We're going to have to get the hatchlings ............," Nuko's tone became slightly more serious.

"Sorry! It's not that we won't let it, it's that Nuko can't ............," the boy said.

“………… Why? Large Nuko asked after a moment of silence.

"I remember going to the next city to cross the ocean!" The boy asked.

“………… Truly! ”

"So I'm going to tell you something, Nuko can't actually touch the sea now, you know?" Then the boy told the ins and outs of the Devil Fruit and the taboos to the large nuko in front of him.

The large nuko led by "............" asked Nuko silently, and then turned around and communicated with his companion behind him for a while.

"Nuko is also an indispensable companion for us, so I can't let her go with you at the risk of drowning in the sea......" the boy continued.

Yuri on the side wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qianhu!

"I'll leave it to Fubo here!" She said to Yuri.

Yuri nodded, holding Nuko in both hands.

After a long time, the discussion of the large nuko also came to a conclusion.

“………… Originally, we had to receive the hatchlings in your hands............" said the large Nuko led by the leader.

"............" Chiho showed a nervous expression, and Yuri hugged Nuko tightly.

“…… However, since crossing the sea can be dangerous for the larvae............ We can only leave her in your care............" said the large Nuko, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Great!" Yuri cheered.

"............" Qianhe's expression also began to relax.

“…… We are companions, and companions are not separated...... nuyi~~" said nuko.

"But ............," Tuba Nuko continued.

"But?" The two girls and Nuko were shocked.

“…… You have to keep the young safe...... And we'll come back when the larvae are mature, and we'll receive the larvae again,............" said the large nuko, looking at the teenager.

“…… Rest assured! Nuko is also an inseparable family to us, and we will definitely protect her. The boy said firmly.

"I hope you can do it............" said the large Nuko, who was the leader, began to take to the sky, followed by her companions who also opened their umbrellas......

"Qian-chan, Fubo-chan, they said the world is about to end!" Yuri said with some sadness.

"That's right! …… But...... It doesn't matter if the world is over, as long as you still have floating waves...... That's enough! Chiho looked at Yuri and said.

"That's right! The three of us are going to be together all the time............" the boy said.

“nu!” Nuko jumped out of Yuri's arms after hearing this.

“………… Sorry, and nuko! The boy hugged Nuko, who jumped over, and said.

"Hehe......" Yuri smiled as she looked at the boy and Chiho.

The two people on the other side also smiled back......

"However, it turned out that they were the ones who sang this song!" Yuri said.

"yes!" Qianhu nodded.

"This must have been in harmony with despair, that's why it seems so sad! ………… Because it's the song of the end. Yuri said, looking at the large nukos.

"Maybe!" Chiho said.

The boys and girls and the nuko in Yuri's arms watched the large nukos slowly rise into the sky and walked away, and only returned to the inside of the submarine until they could no longer see.
