Chapter 203.2


    <strong>Current Situation and Thoughts</strong>


    The 3D projection changed simultaneously with Natasha’s words and half of the spherical disappeared under ominous darkness .


    The’s core was exposed and the darkness wriggled around it .


    How does it stay in this shape without copsing? What is this darkness?


    I had numerous questions, some of which were resolved by Natasha herself .


    “About one hundred million years ago, this darkness invaded the Forest next to the world . Without any measures to oppose it, the Forest next to the world is being gradually eaten away . This darkness appears to be some kind of Star Eater that allows the life on the to continue even in its current shape .


    “A Star Eater...”


    The 3D projection certainly makes it look like the darkness is eating the Forest next to the world away .


    But, even then... just what is this darkness?


    “Before we knew it, flotsam started appearing, and we reproduced and created many weapons tobat the darkness, but none of them were effective . Even weapons capable of destroying entire continents are ineffective . ”


    The flotsam is most likely from the disappearance incident that urred in my past life .


    It wouldn’t be strange if missiles and weapons of mass destruction were reproduced here .


    However, I can’t help but shudder at the fact that even devastating weapons of mass destruction like that have no effect .


    “We have tried many things to counter the darkness, but it all ended in vain . However, after my sister, Kuti, created the Inter-dimensional movement sorcery, we have decided to change our policy of fighting the darkness and reiming the Forest next to the world . We have decided to abandon our birthce . ”


    Natasha’s tone was indifferent and free of any emotional blur .


    The decision to abandon her birthce must have been heartbreaking .


    The sacrifice was too great .


    But if it could avert the destruction of the fairies...


    “A newnd was discovered through the Inter-dimensional movement sorcery . That was Auriol . The world in which you live . ”


    Auriol is the name of the where the Ovent Kingdom where I was born is located .


    Even on the Lizwald Continent, it is not a generally known fact that the world is a round . Some schrs are currently advocating that theory .


    However, the fairies already know that Auriol is a, and have been surveying the world .


    “As you know, a lot of sacrifices were made to go through the Inter-dimensional movement sorcery before you improved on it, Lilianne-sama . It’s just... I wonder whether it is a blessing that so many of our brethren pursued by the darkness can escape or does it have to be considered another tragedy in our history?”


    The Inter-dimensional movement sorcery was a so-called defective product before I improved it .


    But even so, in a situation where people have no choice but to put their trust in it and had no other choice but to use it, they would do that no matter the cost .


    It appears to have been to such an extent that Natasha calls it a tragedy .


    But this much is clear .


    I wouldn’t be capable of creating the Inter-dimensional movement sorcery Kuti has created .


    It was only possible for a non-standard genius like Kuti, to create it .


    Even if I was able of improving it, I would not have been able to dream up the means of crossing the dimensions .


    And it can be said that improvements could be made so quickly only because of so many sacrifices .


    That’s how difficult it is to transcend dimensions .


    “There were many who sacrificed their lives, and yet there was no shortage of people who volunteered for the investigations . Everyone here knows . That we are left with no other choice . ”


    They sacrificed so much, and yet they still bet on the little hope they had .


    It’s such a heroic story I cannot even imagine .


    “And then we found you, Lilianne-sama . ”


    “Me...”


    Natasha’s indifferent tone changed into a powerful one .


    Her tone contained hope directed to me, a Variation Type Two, a special ss sorceress who could improve the Inter-dimensional movement sorcery .


    It was a tremendously heavy hope as the fate of the entire fairy race has been entrusted to me .


    “I know what you must be thinking . We, of course, don’t intend you to shoulder all of the responsibility alone . There are still six thousand years to go . It’s going to be all right . ”


    Her voice is beautiful, like a ringing bell just like Kuti’s, but the thoughts behind it are never the same .


    Her words convey a determination to make up for the sacrifices that were made .


    That is inexplicably scary .


    But...


    “Natasha . Are you picking a fight with me by scaring my Lily?”


    “Ne, Neesan... I didn’t mean to . ”


    “Nono, your words and feelings didn’t match whatsoever, alright? How about you quit while you can?”


    “I, I...”


    My facial expression should have not moved at all .


    But, Kuti seemed to know . That alone made my heart much lighter .


    The fear I had felt earlier, the weight of Natasha’s words, was instantly lifted by Kuti .


    When Kuti is with me, I’m not afraid .


    Therefore—
