Chapter 217
Hand over and returning .
After various experiments, we chose to restrain the evil race with physical means, devoid of sorcery .
We found that incapacitation was the most efficient way to inflict physical damage .
In Auriol, where science is almost completely undeveloped, we even tend to rely on sorcery instead of drugs .
As far as medicine is concerned, except for folk medicine, it is completely dependent on sorcery and magic tools, so there is no hope of using chemicals .
And since I’m more of a sorceress than a scientist, I don’t have any such drugs, and it would be difficult for me to produce them .
In other words, since we rely on sorcery for our experiments, we are limited in our methods of experimenting with beings that have sorcery nullification .
Well, it’s a good thing that we found an easy solution to this problem .
… It’s a shame, though, that it ended up being exactly the same as the “just hit them with a fist” solution I got from Mireilleoryl .
“It would be difficult to test whether they are a race that doesn’t need oxygen just like fairies, so I made a vent just in case, but…”
“It can’t be helped . This is the best we can do . ”
“Ojousama, you cannot sympathize with your enemies . ”
“Right… yeah . ”
All four members of the evil race that we had discovered are now trapped in a box with air holes in it .
They can hear the sounds outside because of the holes, but they seem to be physically shaken and debilitated, so they seemingly don’t even have the energy to listen in .
The earth dome had already been dismantled .
It took a bit of work to destroy it, but I guess I had it coming, since I made it so strong .
There doesn’t seem to be anyone else in the range I can investigate with the ability to nullify sorcery like the evil race, but we haven’t let our guard down yet .
However, it is Mira, Scarlet, and Kuti who are on the alert, though .
Mira and Scarlet were each carrying their own magic tools .
The powerful equipment found in dungeons and other places are magic tools too, but they are types of magic tools that have high physical strength and performance .
However, since they are difficult to recreate artificially, they are quite rare .
Kuti is here, but they also have a role as my escorts, so it seems that the Christophe family had prepared something for them .
Even if it’s a weapon they are not accustomed to, they have a strong enough combat ability to demonstrate suitable performance of the magic tools .
But well, I don’t think they can even reach Kuti’s feet when they join powers .
All we have to do now is to wait for Natasha and her combat unit to come and take back the evil race and then go home .
We need to provide Natasha with all the results of the experiment and inform her what kind of information she can get out of the evil race .
It’s also about the Inter-dimensional movement sorcery, so she will be eager to do it too .
What happens to the evil race as a result is none of my business .
As Scarlet says, we shouldn’t show mercy to those who are hostile to us .
This is no longer the peaceful homeland of my past life .
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
“Well then, I will bear the responsibility of dealing with these people myself . ”
“I will leave them in your care . ”
“It’s fine, Lilianne-sama . This is also for the future of our fairy race . ”
Natasha came shortly after we contacted her . With a battalion of fairies .
This is probably because they took an evil race with sorcery nullification ability appearing in the Forest next to the world seriously .
The numerous objects in the Forest next to the world that look like fruits of science are actually replicas of the flotsam, which are actually magical tools .
The evil race is a big problem for the fairies as well, as we still don’t know the details of what kind of negative effects sorcery nullification has on magical tools .
We are all also curious about their relationship with the darkness, so I’m sure they will want to pull out any trivial information out of them they can .
The white mist that is attacking the planet of the Dragon tribe and the darkness that is eating the Forest next to the world have many similarities .
Especially the planet-eating point, to be exact .
Mireilleoryl is also hostile to the evil race, and any information from her would help .
Since they are a lying, evil race, the authenticity of the information obtained from them will undoubtedly be questioned .
But the fairies have an ally who knows the evil race very well, Mireilleoryl .
She will be able to determine the authenticity of some, if not all, information so she will definitely be of help .
Even though she is protected by the fairies, she is also honestly a target to be watched .
Her level of surveillance is much lower than it was at the beginning, as she got attached to me and has also provided me with a number of emergency restraint sorceries .
But even so, she is still an unknown entity, a person from the Dragon tribe with great power .
There’s no way she can have unconditional freedom .
However, it would be good for her if she could cooperate with the fairies and form an even stronger friendship with them .
Besides, I’d like to help the other Dragon people if I can .
Of course, there’s also the appeal of those glossy, slick horns and scales . There’s more to it, but that’s the main point .
Handing over and returning .
According to what I heard from Mireilleoryl, her race were not just fierce beings, and they were seemingly no different from us, with reason and kindness .
It’s just that there wasn’t a lot of information, so it was misleading .
It’s often the case that it’s actually no big deal when you talk about it .
Well, the assumption is different for those who are clearly out to attack us, such as the evil race, though .
Besides, both home worlds of the Dragon tribe and the Fairies are on the verge of collapse . They are both looking for a new world, and both are very powerful .
If they both come to Auriol, that strong power could cause friction .
We can’t keep it a secret forever, and someone will have to mediate in order to build a friendly relationship with them .
To put it bluntly, I think that the role of the intermediary should be ours .
But to be honest, that would be difficult for me to do alone .
It’s obvious that I’d have to involve our Christophe family .
In order to reduce the burden on the family, it would be a good move to do the Dragon tribe and the fairies a great favor .
In fact, if we can use their strong power for the benefit of the Christophe family, their appearance might be actually welcomed .
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
It’s a bit distressing to impose more difficulties on the fairies, but we are pressed for time at a large scale .
The later it gets, the more worried my family will be, and I really need to get home soon .
I didn’t tell them the exact time of my return, but I’m sure they’ll be waiting for me in the morning .
Next time I go to the Forest next to the world, I need to minimize the concern my family has for me .
There are all kinds of matters I’m leaving behind, such as Mireilleoryl and the evil race .
I can’t leave everything to the fairies, and I also have a promise to keep with Mireilleoryl .
So I’ve made a decision to come again .
… I’m not sure when that will be, though .
“Lily, it’s about time we go~”
“Yess~ Well then, we will excuse ourselves here . ”
“All right, let us meet again then . ”
“Yes . See you again . ”
After saying my farewells with Natasha, I returned to Kuti and the others, and the Inter-dimensional movement sorcery was already in place .
The booting up of the sorcery was already complete, and the inter-dimensional doorway was ready to be opened at any time after the final touches were made . As expected of Kuti .
Of course, just to be sure, I’m going to cast a space-suit sorcery on all of us .
I will add a bit of measurement sorcery this time, but the results will probably be as expected .
I’m sure most of Natasha’s requests will be resolved depending on the results .
In retrospect, it was only five short days, but every second was quite intense when the lid finally opened .
There are still a lot of things I don’t understand and a lot of problems to take care of, but I’m glad I came to the Forest next to the world .
It was quite a hurdle to travel to another dimension for the first time after being reborn in another world, but that’s still okay .
But this time, I will explore Auriol… the Lizwald continent …… or the Ovent Kingdom… no, I will have to start by getting out of the mansion…
After all, I’ve never even been outside the mansion yet .
I’m sure this trip to the Forest next door to the world somewhat lowered my family’s immunity, so it should be all right… probably .
I hope it will work out…
But still, now that I have been here once, it should be much less of a hurdle for me to go to the Forest next to the world again .
That alone is good .
It’s quite painful considering that might not be true .
Now, let’s go home .
Let’s return home to our family, who are surely impatiently waiting for our return .
