Chapter 25: The Day After Tomorrow

A ship with the Galactic Monastery logo sailing in the Infinite Universe gradually slowed down due to a problem with the hatch and auxiliary engine that had been urgently repaired at the beginning, and needed to be temporarily stopped for repairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, the ship had been repaired at the monitoring space station near the edge planet [BP-63], but because of the hurry, it only carried out simple repair operations, and thought it could hold on to its own space station, but it dropped anchor on the way.

In fact, being in a hurry is not an idiotic act for no reason, after all, if you stay in the [BP-63] monitoring space station all the time, it is easy to be intercepted by other organizations under various pretexts.

Just as the purpose of this operation is to obtain unknown information, it is not uncommon for there must be another group of people with the idea of this place to take action to obstruct it.

For this reason, Bishop Ito, who is in charge, decided to leave the space station after a simple repair, turn on the stealth mode, and head to the space stations set up by the headquarters to prevent it from being captured by the fleets of several other organizations.

However, this approach is indeed a bit reckless, after all, due to the high speed of the ship, the place where the repair is not firm is easy to be damaged twice, which is also the result of no way, at least in the current situation.

Fortunately, it has been separated from the [BP-63] surveillance space station for some time, and even if a fleet of different organizations goes there to investigate, it will be difficult to find the shadow of the ship here.

If you want to ask why the ship was attacked, it is because a group of rebel forces led by the regional ruler tried to take control of the ship during the previous operation from the start of the operation to the end of the operation [BP-63], but they were all repelled by the various squads on the way.

However, in the melee, the ship suffered a certain amount of damage even though it was protected by the energy barrier, and the bottom hatch and the auxiliary engine on the left side were destroyed.

The hatch is easy to repair, no, it doesn't matter if it doesn't, just remove all the cargo in the hall near the hatch, but the auxiliary engine is very difficult to handle.

Although this mobile ship is not large, under the 'torture' of high-intensity sailing time and moving speed, it is obvious that one engine cannot support an entire ship, so multiple engines need to work alternately to prevent overheating.

In addition, there are occasional cases where several engines are working at the same time, such as when towing a follower ship in other positions of the ship and sailing at maximum speed, which indirectly proves how important the auxiliary engine is.

However, as mentioned before, it is still safe, so Bishop Ito immediately arranged for maintenance personnel to go to the damaged area to carry out the repair work.

At present, the location of the ship is in a cosmic route at the edge of the solar system, and according to the map instructions, it can be known that this is a remote area; This means that once the ship shadow is discovered, it is likely to be an enemy ship of a similar nature as a space pirate.

When you reach your own space station, you can use the space station's hypergravity navigation device to quickly cross the planets and reach your final destination.

Of course, none of this means anything now, after all, everyone thinks about whether they will be attacked, and how to avoid the attack of the other party after being attacked.

The exhausted combatants began to rest, while the watchmen were busy in the studio.

The priests who had been arrested were also tired of interrogation, and it was clear that those arrested were very troublesome beings, especially aliens like Smer.

The only thing that should be thankful is that all the action teams have completed their missions, a total of three victims, 26 lightly injured, 11 seriously injured, and the remaining 10 or so have achieved their goals unharmed.

There was a busy scene everywhere on the ship, and some of the tension had not subsided.

In contrast to the busy crowd, in a sanitized room, a teenager and a young girl were kneeling on a couch looking out the window at the universe.

Several maintenance crews carrying tools on their backs are flying through space in overalls, intending to perform repairs simultaneously with the outer and inner sides.

Seeing this scene, Otilia sighed as she witnessed all this happening with a surprised expression, she had never seen these scenes since she was a child living on the planet [BP-63].

There's a lot to learn, but at least Otilia knows how to use cosmology to communicate with outsiders.

It was probably because the edge was 'nurtured' day and night on the week, otherwise she would not have said these words.

"Otilia, now we're going back to Earth, where you're home."

"Earth? My memory is a little blurry, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can get out of that damn black planet, I can go anywhere. ”

“…………”

Yahui knows that Otilia had a completely different childhood experience than herself, and her statement is a testament to how much she has suffered.

"I don't know if you can get along with the people on Earth......"

"What do you mean, stupid Yahui? If you say I'm not likable, just say it, don't be a coward! Even if it's your opinion, I'll listen to it and change it! ”

"Don't be a stupid person, you don't know me at all!"

"I don't know what it has to do with saying you're stupid?"

"You guy...... There's a way to talk! ”

Even if she is a little girl who has not received formal education, it is very powerful to talk back and hurt people, which Yahui admires.

One yard to one yard, which also proves that Otilia can still communicate harmoniously, and will not understand the language here, and it is much easier to ask questions later.

Ah Hui remembers a book in the Church that recorded a story in which in the past, human beings, along with other species, began to build towers leading to the Creator's dwellings, but when the Creator discovered it, he was worried that someone would disturb him every day, so the Creator changed the language between the species. Species that had lost a common language began to fall apart, and plans to build towers were put on hold, losing their original unity.

Not to mention the fact that it is now known that beyond the sky is the universe, even if all the sapient species now have unified their language (cosmic language), they have not returned to the period of great unity described in the story, which is quite an ironic result.

Everyone is thinking about what kind of method they should use to get the most benefits, and so is Yahui herself.

"I'm here to ask you a few questions, I don't know if you'd like to answer them."

"No problem, I hate the adults who stare at me with the eyes of monsters, but I can take your stupid questions and let them go."

"You've adapted so fast, and don't call me stupid."

"Hmph, it's not that I adapt quickly, but I have to adapt, and if I don't adapt to the change of environment, it will be difficult to survive."

Otilia's answer left Yahui speechless, but it also fits her character and experience.

On that kind of planet, if you blindly dream of a better life and do not accept the reality of your life, you will definitely not survive.

People who live in hardship will basically be more mature than they imagined, which is a necessary condition for survival.

So the two of them sat side by side on the sofa in a normal posture, and Ottilia didn't leave Yahui's side at will because it was a relationship with an unfamiliar environment, even if she was very adaptable.

Letting go of the notebook for questions and notes, Ahui heard Ottilia's urging

"Hurry up and ask, I don't want to waste time here with you all the time."

"I know, so don't rush me so much."

Yahui remembered what happened before here.

Because Otulia has special abilities and powerful destructive power, lethal relationships, basically no one wants to come over to act as Otilia's interrogator, after all, they are worried that Otilia will be killed by him after he gets angry.

At first, when Otilia was brought to the ship, several priests in the same team proposed that Otilia be anesthetized for the whole time, but Ahui objected, while Bishop Ito and Father Bebo thought that there was no need to anesthetize Otilia.

The reason is mostly based on the reason why Otilia wants to leave this planet, so it is impossible for Otilia to kill Yahui who left with her, which makes Yahui the best candidate.

The room where the two of them are located is also a special room, located at the stern of the ship, which means that even if Otilia goes berserk, she can be thrown directly into the universe.

Of course, Yahui will most likely become the second victim in that case.

"By the way, how's How?"

"As a subject of investigation and sampling, it was brought to the ship as a special sample, and is currently in a surveillance cell at the lowest level, so please rest assured that we will not harm it."

"That's our savior."

Otiria knows that even a monster will not easily forget the care that the other party has given her.

Why is this guy so mean? Such doubts rose in Yahui's heart.

"Get back on track, my first question, when did you arrive at [BP-63]? How much do you remember about the process? ”

"I've said that my memories of being a child are a little vague, but I still have a little impression of the person who brought me to that planet; I remember those guys all had a lot of limbs, and they were all black, but there were also white guys, and just a little bit, could it help? ”

"I don't know...... Anyway, I'll record it first. ”

Yahui has been in contact with many aliens because of his troublesome relationships all year round, and he feels that most of the aliens have many limbs and black skin, and Otilia's description is too general and does not have much effect.

In the next question, Yahui pointed to the second line on the page

"Do you know what substance is being injected into your body? What is the role of this substance? Is it free to use? ”

"There are a lot of problems, you also heard that bastard Smer say before, what is the 'cell of God', most of the functions are to strengthen the body, and I can use it freely, the only instability is that the force cannot be well controlled."

"I see, that's a good thing, at least Otilia can use it to protect herself."

"You can also protect you idiot, who called you so weak, and your job is done, take me away from that planet."

"So I'm not stupid! You weird woman! ”

"Huh? Be careful that I beat you!! ”

It's horrible!

Later, Yahui had a Q&A with Otilia, but Otilia couldn't give accurate answers to many questions, and it was normal for her to not know that she had limited space for activities.

"There are people like me who have been rescued by you, right, how are they?"

"Everyone is fine, you can rest assured."

Then the tired two men were given a set lunch from a priest and ate together at the table.

"It's so hearty! It's the first time I've seen such a hearty meal! Do you eat this piece of meat? Don't eat it, right? Mine my hoops! ”

"Wait! I haven't spoken yet! ”

"Not speaking is acquiescence! Call me next time you have a problem, my fist can help you solve it! ”

"It's just going to be a nuisance."

However, Yahui didn't really get angry, but instead sandwiched all the delicious things in the set meal to the wolf-eating Otilia, and watching her eat made people laugh.

Yahui put down his chopsticks and took a sip of water, and handed the tissue to Otilia, who was full of grease.

"Eat slowly, shouldn't girls be more reserved? I don't want to go back to Earth with a troublesome guy. ”

"It's noisy! But...... Really got out of there......

Otilea, who was halfway through eating, stopped the knife and fork holding the steak and breathed a sigh of relief, as if the rock that had been on her back had been removed, and she was no longer lying on her back.

"Well, Otilia you've escaped, so there's no need to worry, I'll keep my promise."

"Thank you...... Yahui. ”

Even the girl, who was trying to hold back her tears, was left in tears.

It's okay to cry out.

Ahui stroked Otilia's silky hair, slowly, gently, to calm her down.

"Woo woo woo ......! Whoaa!!!aa ”

In the end, the girl still cried.

――――

"That's my story with Otilia! What the? What happened after that? Of course, it was Otilia who was taken to the rest of the monastery for investigation and treatment, and I have been in contact with the computer since I was separated from Otilia; But at that time, I didn't realize that Otilia was in a new crisis...... So she didn't lend a helping hand in time, but she saved herself once, which is admirable. Maybe I'm not a necessary presence in her life, but even so...... No, that's why I met her and then relied on each other. ”

Yahui said to himself, recalling the past with a gentle face

"And while Otilia was 'adventuring', I also ran into a new trouble......" (To be continued. )
