Episode 36

“Huh…? This architectural style…?!”

It was a polished door made of a special alloy. It was a unique style that cannot be seen at all in the world today. It was such a special style that would only exist in the future hundreds of years later.

“Isn’t it an ancient ruin…?”

No matter how you look at it, it was not at all an ancient form. I couldn’t open the door like that, and when I was walking around, the sensor right above the door was shining brightly. Then a feminine mechanical sound began to warn me.

“Searching for life. A scan of the intruder’s body. Identification as an entity with intelligence. Hello. Sir. Welcome to headquarters Kopern.”

“Hot?!”

It was a mechanical civilization that really did not go well with this forest. It didn’t seem like a world you’d only see in a fantasy world. Of course, it was a world similar to that of the Middle Ages, where there were kings and nobility, but… Seeing this kind of civilization, it didn’t seem like that at all.

“Door… Will you open the door?”

“In order to open and close the door, you must register your personal information. If you want to register your personal information, place your hand on the recognition device on the right side of the door.”

“Ah.. Is this place? Can I do this?”

“Confirming personal information. Personal information cannot be verified. First visitor personal information registration. Please wait a moment.”

After waiting for a while, the door opened wide with an explanation that personal information had been registered. In particular, it didn’t seem like a special company, seeing as it didn’t do master certification or anything like that. It was probably a company that sold something to individuals.

“Then where should we go…?”

“Please tell me the exact place name. Hover your hand over the right panel to see a map of Kopern, our headquarters.”

As explained in detail, I put my hand on the panel next to the right. Then, a map of the building of this company called Copern appeared. The first floor was the lobby and the second floor was the space for guests to stay. And from the first basement floor, there was a research lab and a special product room.

“Special offer…? Hey… What’s the special offer?”

“Special product. Special products are pet products provided to customers using the genes they have collected. The genes collected so far consist of small beasts, large beasts, and unusual creatures. For details, it would be appreciated if you go to the special product exhibition room on the 1st basement floor. The elevator is located on the left wall of the lobby.”

“Ah… Is that it?”

Following the announcement, I entered the lobby and took the elevator on the wall. Really… I was so glad to be able to experience this kind of scientific civilization again in this old world… In the meantime, I felt a little new to the wild life, but I didn’t hate it too much.

“Then, the ones hardened on the outside… Were the samples after all?”

“Yes. That’s right. These are the residues left after taking various samples. There is a risk of invasion, so it went through a hardening process. Please let me know if you have any other questions.”

“Huh. Thank you. Oh! By any chance… Have you seen a giant cougar?”

It seemed like I was too distracted. The reason I came here in the first place was to find the sword guy… But I forgot about it because it was so amazing.

“Let’s search for a recent genetic sample. …Results in twelve new samples. One of them showed the same pattern as what you said. If you head to the second floor lab, you should be able to see the pet.”

“Ah…! Knife! You’re here… Haa~ I’m so glad… No wait… Samples? So… What if? Could it be that the sword was also hardened and retrieved?”

“During the genetic sample recovery process, hardening is one of the first processes.”

“That…That! So, Carl… Is… Dead?”

The knife is dead… It can’t be!! It couldn’t be. No matter how hard I tried to find the knife… I could never do that.

“Von Kopern does not carelessly kill living beings. Hardened organisms can also perform life activities when hardened organisms are released. However, the samples collected so far are all used and consumed, and their existence is gradually changing. Please operate the right panel to see the pet’s information.”

“I…Really? Is it real? Haha i’m glad Carl… He’s not dead. But… What should I do now? I don’t think I can find it and take it out…”

It seemed that the moment I took him out like that, I would also be hardened. Of course, it didn’t seem possible to escape.

“Is there a way to take the sword…Or that giant cougar?”

“To purchase a pet from Kopern, select the pet and pay the amount.”

“As for the amount…”

“There are two methods of payment: direct payment and distribution of genetic samples.”

Direct payment seemed difficult. But what about gene sample distribution? Could it be that there is a way to catch another unique creature instead and pay it to Copern? Somehow it seemed like that.

“Tell me about the genetic sample distribution method.”

“The genetic sample distribution method means that the customer’s valuable sample is returned to the head office and paid. The head office makes precious pets using the customer’s genes and sells them to other customers. Would you prefer to distribute genetic samples?”

“Could it be… A chimera or something?”

It seemed somehow similar. It seemed that I was mixing my genes with the genes of a peculiar creature to create a cunning and maniac pet. It seemed that this Coperne was in the business of selling it to other customers. So it seemed like they were collecting various samples. However, this place was only in an absurdly deep forest for such business… Perhaps, it seemed that only the system survived through a cataclysmic period and continued to collect genetic samples.

“Huh… By any chance. So… Can you combine animal genes and human genes…?”

“Of course it is possible. This is one of the headquarters’ unique pet creation methods. If you have a pet you want, please adjust the panel.”

It seemed possible. If that’s the case, this is what happened with the knife!! But were there other humans here besides me?

“Um, can I adjust this? Ah! Is this a knife? It looks similar. Yes. I think you’re right. It was also here Then this… Ugh I don’t know.”

It was not easy to operate the panel, perhaps because I was too accustomed to living in the wild. That’s how I narrowly chose Carl and found the human gene. But, of course, there was no such thing.

“Haa~ As expected… I’m the first guest. So… My genes… No. Then Carl might turn into a girl.”

Absolutely didn’t like that. If Carl, whom he loved, turned into a girl… That would never have happened.

“Good. I will hand over my genetic samples.”

“To hand over the genetic sample, please go to the sample extraction room in the second floor laboratory.”

“It was on the second floor. Even so, it was meant to be. The knife must be there too.”

So, I headed to the second floor lab. It must have been a long time, but it was a building with no missing parts anywhere. How strong can you survive this long? And what kind of energy is used to still maintain power? It was a very strange building.

“Is it here? Ah! It’s a knife!! Knife!!”

Perhaps because I chose it, the knife was ready. And it seemed like something was intoxicating. It seemed that it was because I had just manipulated the panel and added various functions. It would be nice to transform into a humanoid form… But that seemed impossible because there was no human genetic sample. So, I chose a monster that was as similar to a human as possible.

“Karl… I hope he’s not angry. Ugh, that shouldn’t be…”

I chose it too arbitrarily and according to my taste… But me and Gan wanted a sword in human form. To be honest, it was difficult to give Carl the first experience… In many ways.

“I’m also a little… Reluctant to work with animals, but I think it went really well.”

Even if it was too selfish, I couldn’t do it. You can tell by seeing that he left the ogre behind. That I was selfish from the beginning… And even dealing with the knife… I used to do it almost as I pleased. I think there was a selfish side from the beginning. And I don’t even think there’s anything wrong with that…

“Anyway… A knife in human form… Looks great.”

Of course, as a special feature, the ability to transform into a beast was incorporated. To be honest, I thought it would be more convenient to use a beast-shaped sword to get out of this place. At night, it transforms into a human form and comes out to me… A knife that carries me around during the day!! It seemed like a really cool look.

“I will take a genetic sample. Please put your arm in the medical equipment provided.”

“You mean here? Ugh! Are you taking blood? Umm~”

It seemed like that. I took a genetic sample like that and waited for the knife to be completed. I was worried that something might go wrong, but I thought it couldn’t possibly be a place that shows this kind of over-technology. After waiting for a while, the voice guide came out again.

“Ah finally!! Knife…!”

It seemed that the sword was finally finished.

“Please put on the bracelet provided in front of you. The bracelet you wear is a control device for communication and communication with your pet. The power of the bracelet has a semi-permanent function as long as it is not damaged according to the energy wavelength of the customer. A/S is available at the Kopern head office and branch offices. In case of damage to the device, please use the A/S of the Kopern headquarters and branches.”

“Ah.. Is this… A device that can control a knife?”

Somehow, it was like a device that forced the knife… But it was something I had to do without using it like that. Besides, sometimes I thought it would be nice to use it when Carl didn’t listen to me.

“Come on, show me my sword!! Ah… I can finally see the knife…”

My heart pounded wildly at the thought of being able to see the knife. Soon… I was finally able to see Carl’s safe and renewed appearance. What will the sword show me? Are you still as dignified as before? Or something a little stronger? If so, it seemed really good. Touching the soft knife’s hair again and making love in its arms… It must have been really nice.

“Finally, the knife…”

However, I felt a little… Strange to see the appearance of the knife that ruthlessly shattered my expectations.
