"Balaina, who in the world are you?"

Balaina tilts her head to my question.

"I don't understand the meaning of the question. I'm just a support AI."

"Aeria won't just listen to the words of a Support AI."

Yes, the exchange before was just impossible no matter how you think about it.

Why did a tyrant-like Aeria need to listen to Balaina's provocative words?

In addition, despite being angry for once, but she also subsided her anger.

Impossible. This is an absolutely impossible result.

Aeria looked into my soul and knew what what I was.

So couldn't she do the same for Balaina?

If that is the case, everything will match.

In other words, the ident.i.ty of Balaina is a high-ranking person that even the Aeria fears.

And there is only one such existence in this world.

"Balaina, are you a Metatron?"

There is no conclusive evidence.

I don't know why Metatron is doing support / AI for Toyok.u.mo.

However, when I thought so, I felt that all mysteries could be solved.

The phantom dragon Metatron is equal to the G.o.d who made this world-this star.

Won't this also give a good reason as to why Israphel gets on so well with her?

It is thought that she had absolute trust because she was the very creator of her race.

Of course, I didn't actually hear it.

Until now, I thought that perhaps they just got along well.

But if there's a more fundamental reason, it's a different story.

"I want you to answer. Are you Metatron?"

"... No, I'm not Metatron."

"So why did Aeria follow your words?"

"Maybe she was more considerate than we thought?"

"No, no! She definitely wasn't like that!"

If I denied, Varena shrugged, shrugging.

"Captain Kaito isn't impressed to judge his opponent for the first time."

"What, what?"

"Please open yourself and treat others well, and you will always be able to communicate true feelings. Love and peace?"

"You're saying something logical, but you were playing around with Aeria? Usually, people wouldn't listen to the words of a person like that."

"Maybe, it had a reverse psychological effect?"

"……What do you mean?"

"Everyone's mind works differently."

"Well ..."

Is that the case? Is Aeria just a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t?

No, freaking way! What are you saying!

Somehow, my head doesn't hurt ...

I don't really care about the ident.i.ty of Balaina anymore ...

Well, I don't really care about the ident.i.ty of Varena.

I know she is not the one who will betray me.

But the situation isn't something I can just go with how I feel.

"Well, Balaina"

I look straight at the Balaina and speak in a gentle voice.

"I think you're an important friend. Not just as a support / AI. I'm a close friend who wants to be with you all the time."

Balaina didn't answer, just staring back at me.

"That's why I don't want to force you to pursue your ident.i.ty. Even if you truly are just a support AI, friends should consider the situation of the other person."

Everyone has a secret that they don't want to talk about.

If you can still trust each other, there is no problem.

"But now I'm in a position of taking care of many lives, but I don't even know who I am-letting a great power owner be on board in my sole possession. I can't do it, because if anything happens, it's irreversible. "

"... I know what you mean, but ..."

"Still Can't tell the truth?"

Balaina turns away from me unwillingly.

I exhaled deeply and fatally while scratching my head.

"... Well, if you think about it, there aren't any reason for a Metatron to act as a Support Ai for Toyok.u.mo."

I smiled while watching Balaina.

"I'll keep it at that for now."

Balaince kept her silence for a while.

"Captain Kaito, believe this alone. I always think of you first and I will never betray you, and the beastmen you are trying to protect are as important as you are. "

"I see. I'm happy to hear that."

I laughed and pointed at the entrance.

"Well, let's return to our important beastmen."

"Yes, let's go home"

I can't just leave the rabbit body here just because no one is here.

I needed to get back to Toyok.u.mo on a transport pod.

While on the way I remembered something.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you one important thing."

"What is it?"

"I watched you from the side, but you didn't save the game."

"eeeeeeeeeeh !?"

Looking at the screaming Balaina, I laughed while holding my belly.

Thus, Sky Island-Takamagahara is now under my control.

But I don't want to do anything about the island right now.

Considering the population, there is no problem even if the living s.p.a.ce is only on the back of the toyok.u.mo.

Rather, forcibly increasing the area of activity here would only be a burden.

So I wasn't going to involve the beastmen for a while, and I was going to come with the harvester rabbits only when I needed the resources.

Of course, we plan to eventually work in Takamagahara.

To help people a.s.similate with the island, perhaps I should send people to help with the harvesting?

To make such an appointment, I decided to talk to Sena.

It hides the complexities of Age of G.o.ds and told her that Sky Island is simply a usable land.

"I see. It's such a place. If you don't have to bother to get to the ground, we'll be saved."

"Truly, that was very harsh you see."

"It's fun to work with rabbit-chan, and we also have time to be with Mr Kaito alone."

"… But there's a limit to what we can do together, so in the future we'll have everyone else help and we'll be harvesting in Sky Island."

"Everyone has their own job, so we need to rotate it."

I nodded and began to discuss the details with Sena.

When some of the ideas were finalized, Senna said she was impressed.

"But,Mr Kaito is really amazing."

"What? What are you saying all of a sudden?"

"Because you know everything and can do anything."

"... It's an exaggeration. There are many things I can't or don't know."

"But you've been researching that sky island alone? That's what no other wizard can do."

"Um ..."

I had no choice but to laugh.

What would Sena look like if she knew that I was just a bottom adventurer until just recently?

I want to see that surprised face, but I will stop.

Considering the effort to explain from one to ten, it seems that it will be just fine.

Suddenly, I made an eye contact with Balaina who were sleeping next to my feet.

"Hehehehehe"

Returning to the usual wolf's body, Balaina raises her mouth in a meaningful way.

Don't laught at me as if trying to say we both are carrying secrets we can't say, you stupid dog

But it's certainly similar.

After all, I and this guy seem to be close friends of similar people.
