Unu, do you open the door again?

Oh, come on, this isn't an automatic door...

Hazuki rolled his eyes in surprise when he saw the rock open up from side to side.

'Open, doa ni, gochii.'

"...where do you come up with words like that?

Unu?

And as soon as it opened, the room was lit by an artificial light that seemed to be an electric light - and

The outside was disguised as a rock face... it was some kind of fantasy alternate universe that suddenly turned into science fiction... Anyway, let's have a look inside.

Hey, are you okay?

Hajduki asked anxiously at the sudden turn of events.

I'm strong, so you don't have to worry about me.

Uh.....

I smiled softly and gently squeezed Hajduki's small hands, which squeezed the hem of his clothes.

'And I'm more used to it than you are,'

This way?

Whoa--

No, it's nothing. You just don't have to worry, because I'll do my best to protect you if anything happens to you.

If you say so, be patient.

Hazuki smiled smugly.

'Don't get too far away from me, Twi, either.

....

Hmm, what?

No answer.

'Twi?　What's going on?

... Oh. I'm sorry, I was a little foggy.

And then Twa grabbed Hazuki's sleeve instead of mine.

That's probably what it means.

It's really good to see that you've grown attached to your friend, isn't it?

It's so heartwarming to feel like a good friend.

Then let's go inside immediately...

And then we stepped out and what we saw.

What is this room? This room is very spacious...

It was a big hall, so big it looked like a baseball field.

Unyu, Uemoto, it's expensive.

Hazuki told me to look up and see that the ceiling was about 30 meters high.

The walls and ceiling were all covered with inorganic, artificial metal.

"It looks like a gymnasium that's even bigger...could this be a hangar?

Oh, my God, you're so sweet.

Hazuki looks around with a woozy look.

I'm sure you're right. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

I'm not sure. But I think it's kind of nostalgic.

I think there's some kind of connection... Okay, let's go to the back door and see if we can't--

There's one big door at the back of the hall, and we walked through it--

Oh, ah, ah, ah!

Just around the middle of it, Twa suddenly began to suffer.

'Twa, hey, what's going on with you all of a sudden?

"Ugh, ggggh...!　Not here....not here!　You can't stay here.　No, Twa won't be Twa anymore--!

Twa began to suffer in agony, looking uncommonly uncomfortable.

'Hey, Twa!　Come on, man!

The screaming Twa's eyes, before she knew it, were dyed with a crimson glow that was redder than blood--!

Twi!

An even brighter red aura began to emanate from Toi's body--!

Hey, hey, hey!　--Huh?

--Moments later, I jumped off the spot with Hazuki in my arms!

This was because the perception system S-class cheat, the Dragon Eye, sensed the fierce killing intent.

Immediately after that.

Doggone it!!!!

With a roar, something huge burst through the door at the back of the room to where Hajduki and I were--!

'That's not good-- What?　No, what!　What....what...?　No really, what...?

Is it any wonder that when I saw the huge object, I put together a list of words of astonishment?

Because that 8-meter-tall humanoid giant is, shall we say, a...

"Robot whoa!

It was...
