Nigotta Hitomi no Lilianne - Chapter 206

Chapter 206

Airplane and Superb View
The air travel was going smoothly .
There was no shaking at all, and it seems that the information gathering sorcery couldn’t catch up completely, so the obtained information was considerably fragmented so it was meaningless .
It seems that the processing couldn’t catch up unless I narrowed down the range of the Contact Lenses, so we will have to come up with some countermeasures for high-speed movement .
It didn’t make sense for me to look outside, but Scarlet seemed very interested .
It’s a little sad that I’m blind at times like this .

“Ojousama, the name ‘Forest’ next to the world was just for show . There is only a forest down below . ”
“Well, it’s called Forest next to the world~ Of course, it’s forest . ”
“About eighty percent of the planet is forest . Unlike Auriol, there’s little to no seas . That is why the evolution of lifeforms might have been limited here . ”

I couldn’t see the scenery, but Scarlet seemed considerate of my situation and explained what she saw .
And so, the lecture of Sani Sensei will inevitably follow .
Scarlet was absorbed by the scenery below, but the lecture was very helpful because it’s also very important information to me .

According to the lecture, the Forest next to the world followed its own, unique evolutionary path different, giving birth to unique organisms different from Auriol . There were no humanoid races either .
However, most of the creatures are now extinct due to the invasion of the darkness .
Only a few, including the fairy race, remain .
Half of the planet has been devoured . That much damage is only to be expected .

The fairy race is at the top of the hierarchy of the Forest next to the world .
It’s probably not surprising since they can handle superior magical tools and sorcery .
As for the other remaining creatures, they seem to be afraid of the fairies who rule at the top, so they apparently don’t even approach them .
No wonder I couldn’t see any monsters or suspicious creatures .
By the way, there are apparently no small creatures such as insects in the Forest next to the world .
I’d like to take a look at the creatures that followed their own evolutionary path, but I’m on a fast-moving plane .
I can’t gather any information at all, so there’s nothing I can do .
I would like to broaden the range of my information gathering sorcery during my stay and collect even a little .

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The speed of the plane was so fast that we arrived at the destination quite quickly .
The darkness doesn’t seem to be a problem as long as you don’t get too close to a certain area, but if you go out into an area that has been obliterated, as seen on the 3D projection, it would be dangerous because in there, you’re in space .
In the meantime, I decided to cast a space-suit spell on everyone on board, including the fairies .
It seems that they heard about me from Natasha, and they were frequently impressed .
Especially the darkness specialist fairy, who let out “This is amazing!” as she turned her respectful gaze she had been giving to Sani Sensei to me, making me feel itchy .

Even though we were using the space-suit spell, we were not in a situation where we would casually charge into space .
We took a certain distance from the darkness as planned and conducted our inspection .

Besides being able to take off vertically, this plane seemed to be able to stay in the air in place for long periods of time, and the limitations of the Contact Lenses have finally been lifted .
At the same time, I began to collect data from the surroundings with my information gathering sorcery .

“Eh…”
“What’s the matter, Lily? The view is amazing!”
“Ah, umm… it seems that… it cannot be displayed on the Contact Lenses…”
“What?”
“How is this possible!?”
“Ojousama?”

I found it frightening when I extended the range of my Contact Lenses to inspect the darkness .
As soon as I extended it to a certain extent, I couldn’t get any information .
Apparently, the places where the information cannot be obtained are the places where there is darkness .
The Contact Lenses collect vast amounts of environmental data through multiple sorceries and re-draws the data to my eyes through filters .
Naturally, the place where environmental data cannot be obtained cannot be drawn .

“Is the darkness devouring the sorcery?”
“I see… so that’s the reason . ”
“Then, Lily cannot see this superb view!? That can’t be~!”
“Kuti-sama… then, how about you draw it with magical power?”
“That’s it! Nice one, Scarlet!”

Airplane and Superb View
A star-eating-like existence .
It makes sense that it eats sorcery, but actually seeing it is surprising .
But, even times like this, Kuti’s own pace saves me .

The state of the darkness Kuti drew with her magical power was, in nutshell, a ball of cotton candy .
However, there was only half of it .
To be honest, there was not much difference between this and the 3D image I was shown before, or rather, the quality was better .
But, there was a small correction that Kuti drew .
In short, it was great .
As expected of Kuti!

Moreover, as more and more trees were planted in the form of the forest, it became closer to the scene seen in the 3D image .
It was a fairly detailed description that showed Kuti’s seriousness .
It took her a while to finish, but it goes without saying that she did wonderful work .

The ball of cotton candy was only the opening performance!
This was Master Kuti’s masterpiece!

“Wow, Kuti! This is definitely spectacular!”


“Right, right!”
“… Umm~ I’m sorry to disturb you while you are excited, but is it okay for me to start explaining?”
“Ah, yes . Please do so . ”

Just as I was praising Kuti who finished her masterpiece, the fairy who specialized in the darkness called out to me with a really apologetic look on her face .
I’ve completely forgotten about this person!

From there, the explanation of the expert fairy began, but it mostly entailed what I already heard from Natasha .
Of course, Natasha only explained what he reported to her .

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

We have been in the air for quite a while, but the darkness seems to have barely moved during that time .
That’s not surprising considering that it’s eating something as huge as a planet, but the speed of the invasion was terribly slow, just as I had heard .
According to predictions, it will take a thousand years to reach the town of the fairies, and even if it progresses that far, the Forest next to the world won’t collapse .

I have no clue whatsoever what this darkness that eats not only stars but also sorcery is .
If sorcery doesn’t work, there is nothing I can do about it at all .
Is this existence my very natural enemy?
But, I don’t think anyone else can do something about it either .
Even Kuti doesn’t seem to think we can do something about the darkness .

Moreover, since the current situation is such that the darkness itself is holding back the collapse of the planet as it devours it, it would only hasten its destruction if the darkness was removed, so it cannot really be dealt with .
No wonder the fairies no longer have any other choice but to abandon the Forest next to the world .

Thus, by actually arriving at the scene, I understood many things as Natasha said .
In particular, the fact that there is an existence on which my sorcery doesn’t work was probably the best thing I’ve learned .
I don’t necessarily know if there is such a being on Auriol, but I can’t necessarily say it doesn’t exist .


If such an existence appeared in front of me, what could I do?
There are so many things to plan for, it’s hard to know where to start .

But I have to do what I can to make the most of what I’ve gained this time .
Of course, I’m also going to proceed with the request from Natasha at the same time .
Because I don’t have the option of abandoning the residents of the Forest next to the world .

Returning took about the same amount of time as getting there, but the inspection was a day-long visit just as planned .
Tomorrow’s plan is to sightsee the fairy town, but our sizes are too different, so we won’t necessarily do so .
In other words, it’s free time .

There was another reason in addition to the audience with Natasha that I wanted to visit the Forest next to the world alone with Scarlet .
That is, of course, to investigate the situation of items that seem to be from our past lives appearing here . In other words, it’s about the flotsam .

Natasha has provided us with data on the locations of known safe flotsam, so there is no problem for us to investigate tomorrow .
Scarlet is already on board, and so am I .
We’ll just be collecting data while touring the fairy town, that’s all .

We already had our minds set on investigating tomorrow’s flotsam, but when we arrived at the mansion where we were staying and reached our room, we were stunned .

Inside the room was Mira, who is operating her Kutipad at a high speed with an uncanny look on her face .
And also Reki-kun, who was wagging his tail and also playing on the Kutipad .

The room was a complete disaster .
The wreckage of furniture that seems to have been destroyed by Reki-kun’s tail was scattered on the floor, and the servant fairies could only watch the events from outside the room .
The two of them didn’t seem to be able to hear them at all .

… The hell are you doing…

Partly because I was a little tired from the unfamiliar plane ride, I stopped thinking about it .
