Chapter 205 – #2-20 City of Resistance (3)
Want help…
‘Isn’t that too shameless?’
That’s my honest impression.
No, it’s funny that we, who are in the position of being invaded, step forward and help the bad aliens who arbitrarily invaded other people’s planets.
What a shameless person you are to ask such a favor even though you are well aware of such a position!
I stared at Medea’s face again, and averted my gaze.
…Well, what a pretty person. I almost inadvertently said, “It’s okay!” The manly part of me is saying, ‘It’s a request from a pretty woman, but it’s only a star.’ Think of me on the big day.
“You’re just going to listen quietly, aren’t you being very brazen~?”
I shook my head and shook my stupid thoughts away, but Dan-ae interrupted in a sarcastic tone.
“We are in a position to be invaded by you? Is it like a tiger helping a rabbit?”
“It’s a rabbit stronger than a tiger, though.”
Medea chuckled and brushed her glasses up. Are there tigers or rabbits in Mekrak?
“Isn’t it okay?”
“I honestly don’t like it~ How about Kei?”
“Um…”
It’s okay to reject this. If you don’t, you’re just getting caught.
Of course, I got out of Qual’s mansion, but with a little help. But that’s the same for the [Resistance] Side, so it’s just a matter of wiping out debts and favors.
Let’s examine this request now from zero base.
There is no meaning to us, no results, and even if all goes well, the fact that Earth is being invaded remains the same.
‘The men of this planet are trying to launch an all-out attack on Earth, so please stop them’. After hearing that request, I blocked it, but this time, what would happen if the victorious women changed their minds and launched an all-out attack?
It’s really an eye-opening story.
So, it is reasonable to refuse…
“There.”
“Yes, Kay. Please tell me.”
“I can feel your eyes on me and I’m getting really annoyed. What is this?”
“…”
Medea quietly shut her mouth, and she giggled.
“Ah, there was no special meaning.”
Then, as I waved her hand, the stares I had felt since we were out on the street disappeared in an instant. When the gaze that had been piercing all over her skin disappeared, her shoulders felt lighter.
I’m finally breathing a little bit. Exhale with a sigh.
‘It’s been a while since these dog-like traits were helpful.’
〈 Exhibitionism 〉 I became overly sensitive to gazes due to various characteristics. It’s fortunate that it’s not a look filled with lasciviousness.
Dan-ae didn’t know what had happened, so she blinked and opened her eyes.
“For tailing, monitoring…? What’s the use with this attitude?! You should do your best to ignore people!”
“Sorry. Don’t be angry. I apologize if you felt offended. It was not done with malice.”
“Putting a threatening knife at a person’s neck, what? No malice?! From which mouth do you say that?!”
“…As you said, since we know each other’s positions well, wouldn’t it be strange to just leave it alone? Even though you are at the lowest rank, aren’t you magical girls who easily subdued the [Nobles] That even Aden-nim struggled with?”
“So, you watched because you were scared? Yeah, you’re spying on those scary people, so you’re not bare-handed, right? Sniper rifle? Laser gun? Mine thrower? I don’t know the technique of 【Mekrak】, but there must have been something like a terrifying chemical weapon that ended your life without even realizing it?”
“I swear there is no such thing. They are equipped with basic armaments, but they are armed only for defense and escape purposes…”
“Ha, if you just put a name on it, things won’t work! Even if you hold a machine gun in your hand and say something like “It’s a defense gun!”—”
“Wait, wait, sweetheart.”
I raised my hand to stop the cliffhanger who was excited and tried to continue the incoherent haggling. When I covered her mouth with my hand, Dan-ae opened her eyes wide in surprise, then started licking my palm with an expression that looked like it would melt in rapture.
…What’s wrong with him? Goosebumps…!
“The fight without nutrition ends here. But I don’t feel like working for you while being treated like this. I’m grateful for the provision of a room to rest for the night or the provision of clothes like this, so I’ll do something to repay you. But it is a specification that is deeply involved in your work. It feels like handing over the hometown star with our hands.”
“…First of all, I will apologize again for the surveillance incident. We are also in a position to be careful, so please kindly understand.”
Medea bowed her head deeply again.
“You don’t have to worry about lodging or clothes. Yesterday, we also received help, and above all, this is a city of women―― We are not stingy in giving grace to women in need.”
“If you say so… Well…”
“And I didn’t think you would do me a favor anyway.”
Stretching her back from her deep bow, Medea smiled as she adjusted her glasses.
“We negotiate. After hearing the story yesterday, you seem to be in trouble… 〈 Transmission 〉, don’t you need it?”
The topic was enough to pique our ears.
* * *
〈 Transmission 〉 is required to return to Earth.
We tried to find the 〈 transmission door 〉, but we couldn’t find it at all, even in Qual’s mansion, which was his prime candidate.
So, I was still discouraged…
“Do you have 〈 transmission 〉? To this city?”
“Nope. There is not.”
I asked with anticipation, but the answer was immediate. I lost my energy and my shoulders drooped.
And he was surprised by Mediah’s words.
“Currently, 〈 transmission 〉 in [Mekrak] Is only in the capital city. To be precise, 〈 transmissions 〉 all over the planet were scraped away over the course of nearly two months.”
“What…?”
“In order to invade Earth in earnest, it must be to make a large-scale 〈 transmission device 〉 that is larger than the one used so far. Thanks to you, no matter where you look, 〈 transmission 〉 will not be there.”
That can’t be…
Dan-ae poked at my dumbfounded arm.
“Even in Qual’s 【Treasure Vault】, there was a spot for 〈 Transmission 〉, but it was unnaturally empty as if it had been moved recently. I thought it was strange, but I guess it was because of this.”
Having said that, I have nothing to say.
That’s right, it didn’t just exist, it was moved recently…
“To begin with, using 〈 Transmission 〉 requires some knowledge and skills. It must be a bit difficult for you, Earthlings, to deal with.”
Yes. Anyway, someone from the locals needs to help.
“Our purpose is in the capital. The ultimate goal is to liberate the 【Queen】 who will be imprisoned by the males. …Understandings do not coincide?”
Ah…
That’s right. In a way, they match.
Hearing this, he couldn’t just refuse. But she also felt uncomfortable because she snapped at me.
‘Well…’
As the head of the science department, I’m not good at such negotiations.
So, to get her opinion, she looked at Dan-ae, and her Dan-ae was frowning at her, as if she didn’t like her.
Mediah seemed to have noticed the atmosphere as well, and looked at Dan-ae without saying a word. It felt like a strange air current flowed between the two of us with me in between, and I felt my stomach tighten.
Ugh… It feels good to be among fragrant and attractive women, but I hate this uncomfortable atmosphere…
“–Good. Shall we add a condition?”
What broke the stagnant, stiff atmosphere was Mediah’s voice mixed with a sigh.
She said with a smile as if she had lost.
“I tell Ade, if all goes well… I will establish rules to forbid invasion of Earth. How are you?”
“Call.”
I unknowingly brought out the words and hurriedly shut my mouth. But again, it was an unconventional story, so there seemed to be no reason to refuse.
Dan-ae, however, glared carefully, and she slowly chose her words.
“How do you believe that? Who knows if I’ll be able to shut my mouth when work is over?”
“Let’s make a contract with a contract that has been magically processed. [Nobles] Use the method, and if you break the contract with the mediation of the spirits, you will no longer be able to receive the mediation of the spirits. This city, which is supported by the power of the spirits, will also collapse… This is a contract with one city at stake. Can you believe me?”
“…If that’s true, it’s worth thinking about.”
Dan-ae said, still avoiding a definite answer.
As if that was enough, Medea nodded her head.
“However, your captain… I want to have a proper conversation with that Adera. And if I judge you to be trustworthy in everything, then I will decide.”
“That’s enough. There is still some time, so it’s okay to think slowly. There’s work at Qual’s mansion, so let’s get some rest. It is a proud city with so many things to do and enjoy in this city.”
Medea gave a nice smile.
…Because I’m between two broken people, I look so shabby… Yes… I feel fortunate to have Dan-ae…
* * *
After the serious negotiations were over, Mediah guided us around in a lighter mood.
[City of Water] The famous water drop skewers and drop gondolas, the unusually submerged library in the lake, and the waterfall going upside down… The eyes and mouth were delighted with the rare sights that cannot be seen on earth.
Wow.
Have fun
Above all, it was similar to [Undine City] In 〈 Witch Girl 〉 Season 11 Episode 3, so I was more impressed. It feels like entering the world of a cartoon.
“It’s pretty… It’s like a two-dimensional beauty…!”
“Kay, the dimension has gone down…”
It’s thrilling, fun, and happy.
However, from a certain moment, I felt strange, and it was only after a considerable amount of time had passed that I was able to realize the reason.
There were no men at all.
If you look here and look there, there are only women. The man did not even show his nose. Like the country of the Amazons, only women were visible.
“Yes, of course. The place I just showed you is a public area where males are prohibited from entering.”
“Oh yeah? Are there separate male and female areas?”
“Yeah? Ahaha, no way!”
Medea laughed and said.
She said, “There are places where males are “Allowed” To come and go as a favor, but a space for males and the like would not allow such luxury.”
For a moment, he couldn’t understand Medea’s words, and his thoughts stopped.
I hadn’t thought about it until now, but Dan-ae might have already known.
――’This city…’
In the city hall of the dorm, while looking out the window at this beautiful street, Dan-ae mumbled something unconvinced.
Maybe he said that because he already noticed the distortion of this city… Early on.
“It’s just fine. There was one last thing I wanted to show you. It’s the city’s specialty, and it’s the best thing to do. Perhaps if I had shown you this scene in the first place, you might have readily agreed to what I said earlier. Because the “Right” World that everyone dreams of is here.”
Medea showed the most pure and brightest smile she had ever seen, and she approached the door of the warehouse-like space she had just reached. With a beep-beep-beep, her locks are unlocked one by one.
Lee Yi Ying – Cheol -컹!
An unnaturally messy warehouse that didn’t suit a beautiful city.
The mechanical door opened, revealing the inside of the warehouse.
『Uh… Uh…』
『Kuuuuu…
At that place.
The men who were confined and bred with a terrible look―― The males were lined up in such a tight line.
“How are you? This is 【Male Ranch】, the specialty of 【City of Water】.”
…What else is this…
