Chapter 452 – 43. Leah
+++
“Leah, I don’t want to let you go. Aran must have the same idea.”
“I don’t want to leave either.”
After somewhat stabilizing her collapsed Rose, Cornelia quietly talked to Leia.
“Like Aran said, leave it to the men to decide on a mission or what.”
“But… “
“If they participated in such a plan, they must be outstanding elites, right? It’s hard to believe that men are elite.”
Leah couldn’t answer right away.
Life with Cornelia and life here are of course important, but the mission is just as important.
A plan that cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
They risked everything and were willing to give their lives for this plan.
It consumed most of the civilization’s resources to reincarnate Leah here, and spent all the remaining resources to select scientists to create and send a micro-ark.
That’s why they couldn’t resist any resistance, and all lost their lives.
Leia is one of only a thousand survivors, yet one of the most important figures in the plan.
“Since you have been living here and have lived for that mission for over 20 years, can’t you live your life now?”
“But a lot of people made sacrifices.”
“They sacrificed themselves, so you spent 20 years like this. I wish I could have done that. You don’t have to get hung up on it any more.”
Cornelia persuaded her over and over again.
She wouldn’t be able to go anywhere as long as Aran was there anyway, but it was quite different that she had the heart to go but was forced to stop going, and that she gave up her intention to go in the first place.
She was still a daughter, but he wanted to let him live according to his will her.
“Aran is becoming more and more of an idiot, but she is still nice to her people.”
“Before my mother… “
“Even if you don’t have to marry him, your life here has many branches. Let go of the mission that only requires duty and sacrifice.”
“…”
Leah was worried.
In fact, she knew too.
That this question and answer makes little sense.
Aran has already declared that he will send only men outside and leave women here to seek development.
In this situation, there is no way to allow Leah (Clara), who is a woman but one of the most important scientists, to go out.
Even if it was her sister’s will her.
‘Already all the Roses are for Aran…Ha…Maybe it’s a good thing.’
No matter what After all, she won’t be able to leave without his permission.
Wasn’t it Vampneel in the first place?
When an order is given, there is no choice but to carry it out.
But even so, I still had the thought that I might have to make a decision inside.
My body has no choice but to follow, but I will keep my will as clear as my mind. What kind of mind is that?
“And that. Remaining here is not the same as abandoning the mission.”
“Yes?”
They told me to abandon the mission just a moment ago, but what are they saying all of a sudden?
“Didn’t she say that there were enemies she couldn’t deal with? A monster that slaughtered an incredible amount of people… Such a monster.”
“Ah yes.”
“Will the monster come here too?”
“Someday.”
“Then, it would be more advantageous for you to be with Aran.”
“?”
“Magic and Science. Isn’t there a law against merging the two? Coincidentally, Aran is a guy who has mastered magic. Since you say you’ve mastered science, if the two of you work together, you’ll be able to come up with a countermeasure more easily.”
Indeed.
Her words her sounded plausible.
Aran tells me about magic,
Leah tells us about science.
If development proceeds by complementing each other’s shortcomings, it will surely be much faster than proceeding with Leah and scientists alone.
In addition, the development of science and technology is not simply knowledge, and there must be a facility that is the foundation. Aran’s magic would help in arranging such a thing.
As a result, when she is with Aran, she can get closer to what she calls ‘mission completion’ more quickly.
“Yeah… But… Something I’m sorry… To them.”
“It’s not a matter of what you can do anyway. He’s not the one to hear about it.”
“Haha…”
“She says the answer is to let go of the worries she can’t control. I can’t do anything anyway, so what can I do to worry?”
Leah nodded her head and smiled wryly.
Eventually she tipped the pendulum even in her mind.
Realistically and ideally, it would have been better to be here.
It would be nice if the male scientists could also stay, but since Aran is resolutely expelled, that is unavoidable.
I just want them to survive.
“I know. Mother.”

“Hello! It’s called Mooning! I am your fan!”
“…”
Rose glared at the deranged woman in front of her eyes.
After passing out in shock at such an absurd fact, he just woke up and is talking like this.
“My dream is to fly without magic! Everyone laughed, but I believe! One day I will be able to fly without magic!”
“Yes. I can fly. Are you done now? Could you please disappear quickly?”
“Ah…! Really? Can you really fly?”
“…You were sure of it. Why do you ask?”
“Still, it’s human that she constantly wants to confirm what she believes in. When I heard that it was possible, I was really impressed. It’s not a lie, right?”
“Then the universe is also flying, so what’s the deal with the sky?” “Hehe…”
Munning smiled pleasantly.
Can fly in the sky
You can fly in the sky without mana.
Even though I don’t know how to do it yet, I feel like I’ve got everything just for that.
‘It was too. That’s what it was!’
With a big smile, she pulled out the newest firearm she had developed and held out.
“This is a new product I developed a week ago. How about it?”
“…What?”
“If you give me a score from a scientific point of view, how much would you give? On a scale of 100.”
“…”
Rose let out a deep sigh at the sight of Mooning, who was very excited, and received the gun.
Then, I looked around and looked at the finishing treatment, the applied technology, and so on.
“Well…”
“How about it? How about it?”
If you don’t answer quickly, it’s like they’re going to hit you.
Rose said a cold score that seemed to destroy her joy of her.
“Three points.”
“…Yes?”
“It is so primitive. I can’t do anything with this.”
“Uuuuu”
Only 3 points out of 100.
Mooning shook her head at that shocking score.
Was it pathetic?
Rose opened her mouth again.
“…That’s how the technical score is… I’d like to give it about 90 points for the idea.”
“Yes? Me, really?”
“Making 2 out of 1 is easy. Numerous weapons that we have used so far. And the automatics, because they all had 1s, could be upgraded to 2 or 10 or more. It just improved what was already there. Anyone can do that. But… No one can make 1 out of 0.”
She held out the gun to Mooning again.
“I heard you were the first developer of this gun? Also gunpowder.”
“Yes Yes..”
“Certainly this gun and your black powder are very primitive. By my standards, it’s really useless. However, because of your development, a new history of human development has begun to be written. I can never give it a low score.”
“Heh… Heh… This makes me feel embarrassed.”
“…It’s true that it’s primitive, so don’t be overjoyed.”
She slightly averted her head.
I guess I just felt like I was cool.
“Rather than that, you… Do you want to fly in the sky?”
“Yes. Created a mechanism to fly in the sky without magic. That is my dream.”
“…Can I help? I can make it right now-“
“No.”
“?”
“My dream will come true. No concessions to anyone, only me.”
“…You’re going the hard way. I’m stuck here anyway. I’m saying it because I think I’d enjoy it as a hobby if I was helping you.”
“I don’t want to learn. I want to make my dream come true.”
“…”
Rose stared at her for a moment, then smirked at her and nodded her head.
“You are a great scientist. You are. I hate Aran’s gang, but I’ll accept you.”
“Hehe. Thanks.”
