1. Visitors

"On that day, few people recognized it."

A life that fell through the double structure. Its strange appearance had the potential to threaten all things, but fortunately for everyone, even those who were able to perceive this event were unable to correctly recognize the threat.

Thus, she...is carelessly accepted by the world and fulfills her desires to her heart's content. It was as if the fate of all of her, including her, had been decided, and.

──It was fatal. I can't take it back anymore.

"Fuwaaa"

The first thing to do when waking up is yawning. Then a vital check. Even if I'm half asleep, I'll do this carefully and carefully... but it's not an exaggeration. It will be over in an instant.

"Close your eyes and concentrate." No abnormality. That's it.

"There have been no noticeable changes today." target not achieved. Sorry about that, but I've gotten used to it. Well, if it's not getting better or worse, it's good. Long live the status quo. After all, we have plenty of time.

Leaving the bedroom, I take a breather with herbal tea mixed with yawning that won't stop. The tangy taste is just right for me, who wants a stimulus to wake me up rather than healing. ...Alright, I was able to wake up in earnest. This is my morning routine.

"Even though you can spend as much time as you want, you can't stop your self-depravity just by accepting it." I knew I was that type of person, so I wanted to set a clear boundary. Drinking a decoction of leaves taken from a tree whose name I don't even know is part of that. I'm weak in the morning, so deal with that.

"It's too late, but this is homemade Chinese medicine rather than herbal tea." The effect is placebo.

"Good morning again today, my garden... Uhhhhh"

"The morning sun seeps through." It's dazzling to my eyes, but somehow I feel like it's getting into my whole body. Something like the power of the sun. I'm scared.

He looked out at the garden once more with his dejected eyes. There is nothing unusual about this view from the window. Today is the same as yesterday. Status quo forever. Well, there were quite a few hardships until this garden was completed.

As you can see from the scenery outside the garden, this is a forest. It's not that big, but it's dense and creepy to some people. A part of it has been cut open so that it can be used as a residence. It may be misleading to say that I am receiving it. Because I was originally the creator of this forest.

"Well, and..."

"Now that we've finished our morning routine and sunbathing, it's time to get to work." It's my job, it's my hobby. It's hobby research.

"Go to the second floor where you are working." This building, like the homemade herbal tea, was built using materials that are not well known but splendid trees that form the forest. I decided on the interior and layout as I wanted, but it wasn't necessary to make it a three-story building. Life is on the first floor, research is on the second floor. I can't deny the feeling that even that is somewhat forced to divide, so it's self-evident that the third floor has a lot of leftovers. Now that I have a basement and an attic, you can see how enthusiastic I am when building a log house. No, it's embarrassing.

The basement can be used as a warehouse, so it's still fine, but I'd like to make use of the third floor and above, which I can only access occasionally for cleaning... If that's not possible, I might just get rid of it. If you don't need it, it's better not to have it.

"If the number of research materials increases, it will not be limited to that."

If the second floor becomes cramped, the third floor can also be used. There are other things like this for that, I look at it hanging on the wall.

"......"

"That person is a person." Respectable human being. big adult man. But he doesn't move and he doesn't speak. Naturally, it has no consciousness and, incidentally, no limbs. I took it away Because it wasn't necessary.

The person connected to the homemade magic power supply device didn't change as much as I wanted. The status quo of heading towards a slow death is maintained. It's the same as this guy until yesterday, and in the not too distant future... that's right, in about 10 days, he'll face real death. After confirming that, I realized that the plan had failed and let out a sigh.

"I don't think I can become a resident of that world, huh?"

──Suddenly, I am a reincarnated person.

Whether or not it can be called a previous life, I have memories of when I lived as a different person. Another body, another gender, another name. and another world. If this memory is correct, I have achieved what is commonly referred to as reincarnation in another world...

"It's probably been several hundred years since I came here..." From my point of view, the continuity with my previous self is mostly vague, and I'm even starting to doubt whether that was really me. ...But. Memories are accompanied by realizations. And I've fallen. to this world. No creature is born that way. This is undoubtedly confirmed by others. Even in this world, humans are properly born from their mother's womb.

Far from not having a mother, I've been like this since I was a baby, so even if you compare it with our common sense, it's clearly strange. Irregular.

"From my original memory, it's a place full of strange things, but it's still a heresy." Hmm, it really feels like a reincarnated person. So well, that's fine,

"The problem is the other world."

"It's overlapping... the world and the world"

I threw away the board that recorded the progress of the material and stared at the ceiling. No, it's not the ceiling itself. I was conscious of the world in that direction. I don't necessarily have to look up, but I often see it that way because it's easy to imagine.

"──Eidos"

"Ideal realm." That's what I named it. On the other hand, let's call this one the Existential World Exis... Anyway, the space I'm in now and Eidos are closely related. But it's a whole other world. It's completely different from what I remember from my previous life, if I were to compare it, it would be like heaven has materialized. A place where vegetation is sprouting, life is overflowing, and magical power is overflowing to a strange degree. A world that exists but does not exist, all of which are utter illusions.

Just lying there as an ideal to pursue. That's why the ideal realm Eidos.

"I'm originally from that side."

"Because... well, this guy is better than that right now."

"What should I do"

"I look at the man who has ten days to live." I don't know what it is... I don't even need to choose my words. Robbery. To put it bluntly, he is a criminal.

"This forest seems to be far from human habitation, but visitors still come here on rare occasions." Whether it's good or bad. The number of times he was attacked by a gang of roving robbers was not small. Not many though. As for how you deal with it, well. I try to respond to violence with violence. That's the best. A guy who can do something with words won't turn into a robber in the first place.

Sometimes I just turned them away, and if they were too malicious, I returned them to the soil and used them as fertilizer. It's not a metaphor, even now they are sleeping somewhere in the forest. probably just bones.

However, I can't help thinking that it was a shame that I had come up with a use for this experiment. There was no need to return or return. Although it could have been used as a material, it means that the opportunity has been missed. I didn't think of it at the time, so it can't be helped... However, there's no way to experiment with it if you don't have the money.

He snorts and turns his head. Next to him are two more identical devices. Its contents are similar. thieves companions. These guys seem to last a little longer, but since they were treated at the same time, they'll be in critical condition in ten days. No hope for this either. Just die and end.

"I'd rather just kill you on a whim." I'm not a demon either Even though there is no chance of being saved--or should I say, even though I have no intention of helping--I have no interest in making people suffer needlessly. Even without consciousness, there should be pain, and the extent of it is not outside the scope of speculation, but I predict that if it is happening, it will be to the point where it will be impossible to wake up forever... Judging from the biological reaction. . If that happens, the mouth and body will rattle and make a lot of noise, so that's why it's shaped like this.

Not only the feeding device, but also the culture tank, which is constantly filled with magic power poured from it, is handmade by me. Like the log house, it was assembled not manually but with magic power, but it took a lot of time and effort to optimize it. It's a waste of space to put it there and turn it into an ornament like a stuffed animal. If these guys are removed, there will be space in the four culture tanks (one of which is out of order).

"No matter what I say, I don't have any new materials to put in... which one is useless?"

"Waste of space and waste of time." It's kind of annoying that it's better.

"I hate waste." It's a little disgusting to have unintended useless things around me. But in this case, no matter which one you choose, it's useless. If so.

"I've decided." Let's just keep believing and leave it as it is. I'm sorry for the men, but I think I'll let them taste the pain for a while longer. They were the ones who tried to kill me without hesitation, even though I looked like a girl.

"Even if you die anyway, you're going to hell." If you can enjoy the pain I give you as if it were the last leisure time of your life──Huh?

"... good night"

rare.
