Hundred - Volume 11 - Chapter 5

Intermission  

Approximately 5000 years ago Part 5 

Maria, who took the form of visiting the village, appearing out of nowhere every day, she now spent a few days in the village in a row. 

The spaceship had air control functions, it was comfortable no matter what its condition was, but, at any rate, it was too small, she had to sleep while sitting. 

Meanwhile, a house and a bed made of straw were prepared for her in the village. 

Both were taught by Maria and made by the inhabitants. 

They also prepared other things, even simple dishes came out. 

When it came to amenities, there was no doubt that living in the village was declared the winner. 

Besides, as the number of people increased, the village became bigger as well, the villagers multiplied so much to the point the spaceship fell. 

If the spaceship was destroyed, it would be unbearable for her. 

And so, Maria moved the spaceship deep in the woodlands, away from human habitation. 

Of course, she used the mysterious power. 

– There’s no one, huh… 

Maria, who moved to where the spaceship was, checked the surroundings for caution’s sake, then moved the leaves of the trees she used to camouflage it out of the way and opened the hatch. 

One week without seeing the spaceship??. 

She realized there was something the same time she sat down on the chair. 

There is one incoming item? 

That was displayed on the screen. 

(Is this perhaps??) 

She touched the monitor, inflating her chest with expectation. 

Maria felt like her whole hair stood on end the moment she saw what was displayed there. 

She was excited, her feelings got worked up. 

– … Glen… 

Maria whispered with a tearful voice as she stroked the characters displayed on the monitor with her hand. 

What she imagined was someone who caught her rescue signal and sent a transmission. However, the name of the displayed sender was?Glen Harver?. 

The name of Maria’s lover. 

– Oh… Glen…! 

It crossed many galaxies. 

Ran through tens of thousands of years. 

The message that arrived from Glen. 

What a predestined thing! 

Just like a movie. 

Maria played the arrived message file while her chest expanded with expectation. 

That file not only had audio, but video as well. 

It’s been a long time, Maria? 

Glen, who was displayed on the monitor, was a little older than what she remembered. 

Still, his tender features remained the same. 

The Glen that Maria loved so much. 

Of course, she knew it wasn’t possible to touch him directly. 

Nevertheless, she ended up stroking the monitor. 

– … Glen… 

She muttered his name as tears fell, going along her cheeks. 

Glen, on the monitor, began to talk. 

Sometimes, the video was interrupted and noise mas mixed with the audio. 

But that didn’t matter. 

If that meant she could see his figure. 

If that meant she could hear his voice. 

Then nothing mattered. 

It’s been a while, Maria. More than five years have passed since you departed from Planet Notre Dame. Unfortunately though, I don’t know where you are now. But I believe this message will reach you? 

Those words made Maria be a bit discouraged. 

It appeared like this message dated back to when the rescue signal didn’t get through. 

(Well, that was a possibility) 

However, if this came from the other side, then it meant that there was a possibility that she would reach them from here. 

That was nothing but the light of hope for Maria. 

Glen, on the monitor, began to talk with a humble expression. 

Maria, I have something important to tell you? 

Maria gulped saliva. 

What was that important thing he had to tell her? 

Come, Precia? 

– Eh? 

A woman who wore the same white robe as him appeared, following his words. 

She saw that woman when she visited his training room. 

(If I remember correctly, that woman is…) 

Glen’s assistant. 

Glen, who held the shoulder of that woman, began to talk while looking apologetic. 

I??decided to marry her, to marry Precia. My child is in her belly? 

The moment she heard those words. 

What was before her shook, and became total darkness. 

Don’t joke. 

You’re kidding, right? 

Such words ran through her head. 

Glen said various things. 

He had been depressed since the moment the accident occurred. It didn’t matter how much he tried to send a transmission, there was no response. He was on the verge of being crippled. He thought he was about to die. Then, it was Precia who saved him. Because of Maria’s accident, Savage-related research progressed. He could pay his debt back. And Precia became pregnant of his child. 

All his words couldn’t be accepted by Maria. 

On the contrary, the things she cherished fell apart, collapsed, she was even attacked by the sensation that her heart became empty. 

(Oh, I see…) 

I understand. 

For Glen, this message was his farewell with me. 

Like a funeral, I guess. 

A ritual to forget me and become one with his new lover. 

And that, of course, should be the same for Precia standing next to him. 

Precia began to talk to the camera. 

I’m truly sorry, Maria-san. But, I just couldn’t see my beloved Glen being so sad. Even you don’t feel like wanting to see Glen sad, do you? You should understand those feelings, right?? 

Precia continued. 

Of course I know this was something I mustn’t do. However, I couldn’t stop myself. I apologize again. I truly sorry. And, I’ll be praying for you. That you’re alive somewhere. I’m sure that wherever you are, you’ll find happiness??? 

Of course, Maria couldn’t accept those words directly either. 

Unfortunate. 

Thank you for disappearing. 

He enjoys me. 

I’ll be happy in place of you. 

She heard like Precia was saying so. 

Glen opened his mouth again. 

I feel the same as Precia. I want to apologize to you. Together with that, I pray for your safety and happiness wherever you are. Goodbye, Maria. I really wish I could have the chance to apologize to you personally? 

The data ended together with those words. 

– … Don’t laugh at me…! 

Maria bashed the monitor. 

Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. Don’t laugh at me. 

– The hell was that! Don’t make fun of me! 

Maria shouted with a loud voice. 

I was abandoned by Glen. 

Glen and Precia. 

They decided to forget about me completely for their happiness. 

I’m frustrated. 

But, no tears come out. 

Just the flames of anger flare up. 

– … I’ll take my revenge… 

Her emotions dominated Maria’s heart to that extent. 

It didn’t matter how many years it would take. 

It didn’t matter how many sacrifices had to be made. 

She didn’t know how to put it back as it was, but if people with the intelligence enough for it were to appear among the inhabitants of this planet and discovered the power crystal to advance into space, then people who could make a time machine should appear as well. 

There was also the possibility that someone who noticed the rescue signal came to save her before that. 

At any rate, even Glen’s data arrived. 

It wasn’t like it was impossible. 

But she didn’t know when that would be. 

If there was no response of the rescue signal, and created the time machine by herself, then it would take her thousands of years??. 

No, maybe tens of thousands of years. 

(… That’s not a problem. If I can return to my planet. If I can take revenge on those who abandoned me and chose their happiness, then that??) 

Maria resolved herself, but the moment she came out from the spaceship, the amulet that hung from her neck shone. 

That was a gift she got from Glen. 

– …!! 

Maria took it in her hand and tried to tear off the ?amulet?. 

– This thing! 

When she tried to throw it way, she suddenly came to her senses. 

This?amulet?had an incredible power. 

It would be bad if someone were to pick it up, she couldn’t bring herself to throw it away. 

But??. 

(I get irritated every time I see this) 

The moment she was puzzled, saying “what do I do with this?”. 

– Eh…? 

The?amulet?burst open in the palm of her hand. 

(What… just happened?) 

She couldn’t understand what happened for a moment. 

The?amulet?that became particles wrapped up Maria’s body and disappeared as it was. 

Even if it went back to how it was, it wouldn’t go back. 

On the contrary, she felt something like power overflowing from inside her body. 

(Could it be that the?amulet?was absorbed in my body?) 

Until now, the?amulet?transformed in shapes she wished. 

Did this mean then that the wish this time was fulfilled by another shape? 

– Fufufu, fufufu… 

With this, Maria felt like she really became God. 

(I’ll take revenge on Glen and that woman with this seething power) 

Even if she had an operation of longevity, her body wouldn’t last for tens of thousands of years. 

So, she decided to go back to the lifesaving pod to fall asleep for a long time. 

The God returned to heaven for a moment. 

When the time had come for her second advent, she would give wisdom to this land again. 

Yes, she told that to the villagers. 

Maria went into a long suspended animation in the spaceship hidden in the forest. 

Now that she had come this far, this wasn’t the situation to think about the remaining energy anymore. 

Based on what she calculated, she should have time for about 100,000 years at the worst. 

She believed that the humanity of this planet should have evolved considerably in 40,000 years??.
