The Earth has evolved
3. Read books all over the world
At first, he also attempts to think he needs to prepare for whatever he can because he does not know when humanity will return.
’’ Vale Tudo and spear still messy. Actually, I better slow it down! ’
[Like a strange human ....!].
Even while receiving Lisa's strange gaze, Yuu immersed herself again in training. Lisa provided all 3 x meals for him, so he just needed to think about the martial arts he needed to learn.
And like that, 5 years and 10 years passed. It was a moment after 20 years had passed since he was abandoned.
Now, his punches and kicks flowed with a fighting spirit that could kill a bear, let alone a human, and the wooden spear he had developed powerfully not only pierced the sandbags, but destroyed them. Yuu himself thought he had no talent in terms of martial arts, but being able to grow like this in just 15 years was incredible. Of course, it was also because Lisa, who was a great battle partner, was there for him.
’'i'll be 40 years old soon. How's it? Do I look more mature? ’
[The only thing you do is punch and stab the spear.You think you get something other than enlightenment in martial arts? Did you see anyone acting according to his age after coming out of training in the mountains?]
’you also think so?, when there is a mother I do not have to pretend to be mature? ’
[Don't worry about that and keep practicing.]
From this point on, Lisa, who came once a week, came once in 3 days. It was because he was worried that Yuu might go crazy after being alone in the great prison known as Earth for approximately 20 years.
Whether it was because of his worries and interests or because of his innate personality, Yuu held on well.
He lasted 20, 30 years.
[How much time deviation!]
While looking at Yuu like that, it was precisely Lisa who was nervous to the point where she was going to scream. However, Lisa's position was not so high that she was not in a position to ask the god directly, and he had no right to reverse the time axis so he could only silently watch Yuu train his body calmly, during the day.
’’ Lisa. ’’
One day, Yu IlHan said in a low voice.
’'i can't remember my mother's face anymore.’
[uh......I'm sorry.]
’’ Even when I saw her picture, it felt foreign. Is this guy really my family? Didn't I live here alone in this place? Everything was my illusion and it was a lie Lisa made to comfort me ...... ’
[Gtss.... Don't say such a thing!]
’'Yes, it was just a joke. It might be good if it was like that. ’’
He sighed and took back the spear. It was time that passed after 50 years of abandonment.
''I'm sick of it. I want to do something else. ’
[i'm sorry to say this now but ...... It is unknown when the great disaster will occur.you cannot ignore your martial arts.]
''I know.''
Now that they've been together for decades, matters like being an angel or being human don't really matter. What mattered to Yuu was someone her friend and someone willing to listen to her. And Lisa took that place so she followed Lisa. That's enough.
Yuu is also the only human who has been in contact with Lisa for several decades, so she becomes more of a pity and affection towards the human known as Yuu. Of course, he did not say it out loud.
The strange relationship of the two, which occurred through the fault of God, is developing in a truly admirable direction.
’’ I'll read a few books only. ’’
[That's a good idea.]
Martial arts will be important after the Great Cataclysm occurs, but reading helps expand one's knowledge and builds a foundation for one's actions. It will help but it will not hurt either.
Yuu, acting so fast that it might seem excessive after setting her mind to something, she shuts herself up in the college library immediately. As he promised Lisa, he trained Vale Tudo and spear for 3 hours a day, but he also invested the rest of the time just to read.
Even the most well-preserved books will change color after several tens of years have passed, but 'thank you' on 'stop time', objects/objects are not affected by time. That was a good thing for Yuu at the moment.
Her preference leaned towards contemporary novels, but she was fed up after reading it for about 5 years and she moved on to another. While thinking his college life might normally continue after the Great Cataclysm occurred, he first studied books related to his major which was his management, and when he would also get bored with it, he would first study the books related to his major which was his management, he considered other majors and read psychology or other humanities-related books.
(Humanities or cultural sciences is a science that studies how to make or raise humans to be more human and cultured. According to Latin, the humanities are commonly called artes liberales, which is the study of humanity. Wikipedia)
Unlike martial arts where progress becomes less noticeable after a certain point, reading accumulates knowledge. Yuu, who was now interested in it spread her interest to the other books within the library. General knowledge, history, geography, calssics, physics, chemistry, art and he read every book in the library.
After a few years passed, the books within the library were insufficient. There was no bookstore keeper on the way, so Yuu started conquering the bookstore within his walking range to search for books that were not in the library.
But even this has its limits. In his 67th year of abandonment (Of course, Yuu no longer counts the time), he makes a big decision.
’'Come learn other asong languages.’ ’
[Then, let's change the location. I can deliver your food wherever it is.]
’'Where did the food come from?’
[Secret.](hehe)
While pondering whether to cross the ocean or not, he went to China, the country of the cupboards. While driving a car to drive until it ran out of fuel, when he found a working gas station, he would refuel, and if not, he would just change cars.
A license? There was only Yuu in this world so it was fine as long as the car he was driving did not fall off a cliff or explode after crashing.
Even when moving around, she learned Mandarin in her spare time. The study of language made him a headache after learning even a little became doable due to reading books for several decades.
And the China he came to was somehow too vast. And of course there is a lot of reading.
’Ha..perhaps a mistake to make China the first stop.’
Yuu cried out in excitement because there was a lot of new knowledge.The human race will definitely return before I know all the knowledge about China - at that time, he will feel regret for it.
But that's the misunderstanding. Even after adventuring all over mainland China, and studying every book in China, humanity has still not returned. Yuu no longer asks Lisa how much time has passed and Lisa doesn't talk about it either.
He calmly moved to another country. It was because he felt he might go crazy if he did not get any new stimulation, no matter what it was.
Kazakhstan, Uzebkistan, Pakistan, India, Mongolia ...... After studying every language in Asia, he read all the books, records and even internet records of all those countries. As if he would die if he did not read something, he read and read again.
One time, he forgot the iron rule of practicing martial arts for 3 hours a day and was almost beaten by Lisa.
[Are you really okay?]
’’ No, I'm fine. Anyway ha......''
He raised his head. The last page of the last of the 7.5 million books in the Russian Academy of Sciences reveals itself.
’As expected, I cannot understand the technical book even after reading it.’
Yuu looked through the limits of this brain. It seemed that he was not a suitable person for this science. He only reads because there is text, and just reading a book does not make him a professional in that field.
’'Now let's go to Europe.’
[you speak Russian now, you know?]
’’ Hyvaine! ’’
[Okay, we can go to Finland.]
As he toured Europe, the middle east, and even Africa, his treasury became rich.
It was the 216th year after he was abandoned.
’'Now just Oceania and America go!’ ’
Yuu cheered like a child who had just checked there was little summer homework left. At her unchanging tension even though she had lived for over 200 years, Lisa smiled bitterly and asked back.
[you know you have to ride a boat?]
’’ Is okay. There are many ownerless boats in this world! ’
[hey's called stealing.]
The power of time is truly amazing. It made an ignorant student into a powerful adventurer. Of course, there was no need to say twice because one human was given more time than the lifespan of a human, but Yuu continued to move without resting as if he was going to die the moment he stopped.
Using all his knowledge of Geography, he set the sailing distance to a minimum, and he looked for a boat that could last for that distance. In the countless books he had read up until now, there were many specialized books related to ships, so there was no difficulty finding a sturdy and fueled boat, and driving it.
’’ Lisa, humans don't die by chance, right? ’
[i'm saying there's a deviation in the time axis. I'm stupid for thinking it's only two or three times. It seems like it was at least 10 times.]
''It's interesting.''
After he finished preparing for the cruise, Yuu unhesitatingly left where he was. As long as Oceania and America were waiting for him, there was no time to relax.
And a few decades passed again.
’'I finiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!'’
[The bad guy.]
While looking at Yu Ilhan who was shouting and rolling around on the table inside the Boston Public Library, known as one of the largest in America, Lisa muttered in a saturated voice.
Yuu finally manages to conquer all the books available to humanity. Although he had witnessed the entire process with his own eyes, it was an incredible achievement.
After he left the library, sat on a bench on the street and stared at the empty sky for a while, Yuu muttered as he tilted his head.
''What should I do now?''
[Smartial arts?]
’'I've done it until now too.’
He didn't just read books while traveling around the world. He went to various ruins left in some parts of the world, he found traces of martial arts and he continued to revise various flaws in Vale Tudo and spearmanship. Training is 3 hours minimum and sometimes will be more than 8 hours, and 12 hours.
His martial arts and weapon arts were transformed to the point where he was unable to find his original style, which he was unable to find, it was developed into a practical and high-level technique to the point where Lisa would have trouble fighting it without mana.
This was something that could not be achieved by someone who had no talent even if that person was given countless years. Lisa of course did not say this to Yuu. Because he'll get ahead of himself when he does!
’’ Lisa, in addition to martial arts or knowledge, is there anything that might help after the great Natural Disaster?"
the question towards Lisa, who was thinking about Yuu's talent, was this. When she heard this, Lisa could feel the goosebumps.
[You.].
The question proves one thing.
Yuu, who experienced more things than a human could experience in a single lifetime, still did not lose hope even though time had passed.
For him, his life would not end. No, maybe he might have thought it hadn't started until now. All the things he had done up until now were probably just in preparation for life after a cataclysmic natural disaster.
It was a long time even for Lisa, who was an angel, but a human who would not live more than 100 years on average treated the past few years as preparation beforehand. Of course, he himself did not know exactly how long time had passed, but that did not make Lisa any less surprised.
[You, how can you be so strong?]
As she was dumbfounded, Lisa asked the question she had been through until now.
If Yuu tried to brag a little, she might answer with a nicer answer, but she, she, the one who stayed while seeking new and experienced knowledge without being in contact with other humans for countless years, only had the honesty left. It may be presumed he retreated back to the child.
'' you said I had to do it, so I did it. I couldn't practice where so I'd have to do something else. ’
[......]
With Yuu, who sighed while replying, in front of her, Lisa lost her words to speak. Countless emotions and impulses mixed with each other and exploded to the point of bursting and his mind went white.
Immediately, he did not know what expression to make and turned his head and developed his wings.
[i'm leaving!]
"Tell me what to do before you go! "
[Think of it yourself from now on!]
Lisa disappeared from that place, and Yuu was stunned. After coldly assessing the situation, he muttered again with a sigh.
’'First of all, let's go back home.’ ’
This is a historic moment where angels harbored more than just goodwill toward humans. And of course, Yuu did not notice that.
Yuu doesn't know, but this is 274 years after being abandoned.
mankind has not returned.
