After our conversation, a maid brought us some tea. Mei and I returned to the Black Lotus after finishing it.
What? Why didnât we join in the fight against the Bradys when we brought the battle bots with us? Thatâs fair enough, but Hartmut himself told me, âItâs my duty as governor to destroy the bandits, and Iâm going to do it myself.â I appreciate his kindness, but I wouldnât have minded it if he asked me for my help.
Well, putting myself in danger with no reward would be ridiculous, and simply pointless⊠If I had to point out any benefit that I could gain from this, it would be improving my battle senses by stepping into the line of death. Since my current situation was not like a game where I could simply level up after some simple combat, in the end I would need to take risks to gain any benefit, thatâs why I decided to leave the rest to Hartmut.
âAh, welcome back, Hiro-sama! Youâre back early, huh?â (Mimi)
âWell, it was decided that I would not be participating in destroying Bradys. Iâve also talked to Hartmut. Regarding the pandemic, Iâm sure itâs probably going to get under control soon, so I think itâs about time we leave this colonyâŠâ
âBig Bro! How did it go!?â (Tina)
ââOh you see- ugah!?â
I was talking to Mimi, but when Tina heard my voice, she came running out of the cafeteria and tackled me in the side of my head when I was just about to reply to her.
âCalm downâŠIâve talked to Hartmut, and he finally said heâll take heed of my words and act accordingly. But, yes, he said he wants to make Aylia happy in the end. He also told me that he likes Aylia not only for her looks but also for her heart, so I donât think thereâs any need to worry about her. The rest is just a matter of what they will do about it.â
âHmmâŠokay. Thanks, Big Bro.â
âNo problem.â
I pat Tina on the head. I was glad to see that she finally understood what I meant before. It was time to say goodbye to this colony, and it was also time to have Linda be returned to Aylia in the colony.
âOh, whereâs Dr. Shoko? I havenât seen her in the last couple of days.â
âSheâs holed up in her lab. Should I call her?â
âNo, I hope sheâs okay, but what the heck is she doing?â
Curious, I decided to visit Dr. Shokoâs lab. What in the world was she doing in her lab for two days?
âDr. Shoko? What are youâŠohâŠâ
âHmm? Whatâs wrong?â
Dr. Shokoâs lab was covered in mushrooms. No, they were not growing all over the place, but each plant was kept in a case, but there were a lot of them. Not just ten or twenty but much more.
âWhatâs going on here?â
âAhh⊠I was wondering if there was any way to breed the mushrooms that caused the spread of pathogens and then render those pathogens harmless. Iâve been doing a lot of trial and error so far, and from that, Iâve developed a cure for humans. However, if we donât eliminate the source of the pandemic, it will never be contained, right? Thatâs why Iâve been tinkering around to see if I could create a mushroom that would counteract those mushrooms that spread the pathogen.â
âI seeâŠ? Will it work?â
âWell, yes. It might work, but weâd have to contaminate the colony with a new breed of fungus in exchange. I doubt it would be approved.â
âYeah, I donât think so!â
âIndeed.â
Dr. Shoko laughed as she said so.
âWell, Iâve finished designing a purification nanomachine that targets only the pathogen in question, so we can use that instead. But itâs still difficult to control when used on living organisms.â
âI seeâŠ? Then, do you think the pandemic of this colony can be dealt with?â (f)reenovelkiss.com
âIf we use a special medicine and purification nanomachines together, I think we can stop it right away. Oh, Iâve compiled the data and samples, so please take care of them. Iâm going to take a shower and have a good nightâs sleep. FuaaahâŠâ
Saying that, Dr. Shoko shoved a sturdy-looking container that looked like it could hold a bunch of stuff onto me. After that, she yawned and left the lab.
ââŠNow that I think about it, isnât Dr. Shoko the most dangerous person on this ship?â
I shuddered as I felt the weight of the container I had received.
