That night, Shika and I boarded a military vehicle and came to stay at an upscale hotel in the Natra urban area. After an exhausting day, I did not go to shower and fell asleep in bed without changing my clothes.
During this period, Shika got into bed and wanted to do something embarrassing with me, after which I rejected her on the grounds that I was too tired and wanted to rest.
Shika felt a bit reluctant, but she wanted to come to me for a long time, and so I didn't mind her wanting to sleep with me today.
I who was tired quickly fell asleep and entered the consciousness room. Linea and Naila were waiting inside early.
I think so much has happened today that we need to talk about it.
"Naila, I think it's kind of weird that we're suddenly moved to Last Defense Line.” Linea took three chairs from her room and let us sit down and chat.
(When Linea fell asleep due to altitude sickness, Linea tried to move the items in her own room into a shared conscious space and it worked.)
"First of all, it was a coincidence that the three of us met on the same train, not to mention the ticket this time, I bought it by hacking into the train system. Second, the people of the Shika clan seemed to know in advance that We will come and wait there early.”
“And lastly, it is also the most abnormal, the last line of defense does not ask us experience after the attack, which is very strange for a high-level world defense organization."
Linea mentioned three things that were abnormal, and we fell into each of our thoughts.
"Do you mean everything we meet is controlled by someone behind the scenes?"
I understand what Linea means. Several small-probability events happened at the same time, and I think unless someone intentionally did, it wouldn't happen.
"But what kind of people and organizations can do these things? It is quite difficult to carry out terror attacks in China, not to mention they even make personnel on the Last Defense Line move, even the country-specific departments do not have the capability to it.”
“What is their motivation? What is so special about the three of us that they do it, is it worth the trouble to come?" sanku.
"If no one else supported him, maybe it had something to do with people killing themselves near the altar. Since We read the Book of the Prophets that day, they must have read it too.”
“If my conclusions are correct, those people supposed to fulfill the prophecies of the book of the prophets are independent organizations with their own responsibilities, and their power is immense, involving various areas of human life such as religion, religion, and religion, politics, military, culture, etc.”
“The three of us are key points for the realization of the prophecy, and it makes sense for them to do all this," Linea said.
He used his ability to gather information and came to this unexpected conclusion.
"If that's the case, isn't our future in their hands?" Naila who was the calmest of the three, also felt fear in her heart. It is not a good feeling to have a fate gripped in the hands of others.
"No, not because they control our destiny. Our fate has long been determined. They just hope to fulfill the prophecy in their own way" Linea replied
I carefully recalled the contents of the divination book and found several different clues. I remembered something and suddenly became excited and stood up.
“I remember something!”
"What?" Naila and Linea were a little surprised by my reaction.
"Do you remember how many pages of the Book of the Prophets were empty?"
"Of course I remember, if it weren't for being empty, we wouldn't be so worried." Naila answered my question in confusion.
"The Book of the Prophet records only the beginning and the end of our destiny. Our life experiences in the midst need to be written by ourselves. The meaning of life lies in the process. Whatever the end is, we have to face the flow of living together, right?"
Thinking of knowing all this, I excitedly pulled both of their hands, and waved their hands nonstop and said boldly.
Linea quickly wanted to understand this, her eyes shining with a glittering light, but then her face immediately reddened, thinking of our final result in the prophecy, she pushed my hand, and said shyly, saying,
"I don't want to be with you..."
"Miss Hajime, let's go to Thailand with me, As long as you have a small operation, I can be one with you. Do you think it's okay?"
In Naila's view, a funny man must be a woman, and the stick below is a small mistake that can be corrected with one knife, he said,
"No! Don't mess around. Even if I'm a pretty face, my body is still a real man. Look at these muscles!” I hurriedly hid behind Linea, not letting Naila approach me. Of course while showing off my new muscles.
"Naila, stop, I have something to say." Linea raised her hand to stop Naila and said in a serious tone.
"OKay?"
"We must use our abilities to gain advantage, we cannot just sit still. After we handle the task this time, we must take action. First of all, We should accumulate a lot of wealth and expand some contacts within one year.”
“Then use their network to expand contacts to the government, and lay the foundation for the establishment of the company in the future. I'm going to enter the stock market, raise funds for the company. From the second year to the fifth year, I will expand the company and at the same time I will ...”
Linea told us about future plans. The general content is that Naila will enter the pharmaceutical, medical, and biological industries and chemical weapons, establish a multinational company, and monopolize all related industries of biology.
Linea relies on her super brain to explore the stock market, raise funds, and at the same time will tackle the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics, and lead the way in human technology.
As for me, I was assigned to do some extra work well, basically I barely have any part in this plan, maybe just do some heavy and dirty work.
Ultimately, we need to build an organization as big as the Last Defense Line against an unknown threat in two decades.
"Wait, Linea, we can be ourselves, why we should take the same route as the villains."
I was a little hesitant with Linea's future plans to conquer the world, instead of me not being interested, I actually just wanted to spend the rest of my life in an ordinary life.
"I am, We do these things not to rule the world, but to control Our own destiny. Didn't you just say that Our lives are determined by ourselves, how We can control our fate without power.”
“We want to think about the future, such a thing is a simple question and you don't understand, You idiot." Linea glanced at me like an idiot and said ‘with cold’.
"But what you said about life, I think it's too much. I just want to be an ordinary person. After all, isn't there a Last Defense Line to save the world, so why is life so tiring?”
I disagree with Linea's theory of winning by force. The male protagonist in the comics does not have his powers or ambitions like that. He still defeated all kinds of evil forces and received so many harems.
"I don't know, find out for yourself!!”
My lack of self-motivation made Linea very unhappy that Linea dropped this sentence and walked into her room angrily, then slammed the door hard.
"Why? Why are you suddenly angry? I'm just asking."
"You are a man with a negative EQ, you don't see that Linea is treating you…. Don't forget it, don't talk about it now, after all, you'll know after those memories are shared tomorrow.”
Naila felt embarrassed and concerned, dropped these words and returned to her room to sleep.
“Wait Naila!” Naila ignored my call and went back to her room.
“Huh~ when I just asked for an explanation. Female brain circuit is very difficult to understand.” I breathed in the consciousness room. Like this I feel guilty for Linea and Naila.
“Already, let's sleep first.”
After sitting thinking about it for a long time, I was unable to think of the correct reason, so I returned to my room, and fell asleep comfortably.
Opening my eyes again, I returned to reality. This time, Shika was very sleepy and slept soundly on the other side of the bed.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to recall Linea's thoughts in the consciousness room last night.
[So, he just had to tell me directly.]
Back in time last night, the three of us fell into a deep depression due to fate. My high ambitions ignited Linea's hopes in life, and because of this, Linea positioned me as the current leader from the bottom of her heart, and her fondness for me increased a lot in an instant.
So Linea made the best plans for our future and wanted to help me achieve my goals.
In the end, he didn't expect that I just wanted to live an ordinary life, and I didn't have a sense of crisis, and I didn't want to make any changes.
Linea has been yearning for a hero who can change the world since she was a child.
He initially saw some potential in me, but I myself ended up being so disinterested. The level of disappointment Linea had for me was imaginable.
[Thank you, Linea.] Linea's sincere hope warms my heart and manages to ignite a fire called commitment.
“For you, I will also create a better future."
[Ck ck ck, I heard it, Hajime.] Naila's voice sounded faint.
I shuddered suddenly, I forgot to share memories. That linea...... Linea must have heard his humiliating chunii declaration.
[Hmph.] I don't want to thank you Linea heard it.
Although she said no, but Linea's heart was full of joy and shame, either me or her really felt touched.
