(POV – Protagonist)
When you imagine sothing being transported through the air, and that sothing turns out to be a nuclear bomb or sothing similar, you’d probably think of a military plane, right? Well, I thought the sa thing. That’s why I’m still surprised they’re taking sowhere in a private jet.
The jet even had a space specially prepared to fit my glass aquarium. The first ti I noticed that, I thought the jet had definitely been customized for . Initially, I considered that this customization must’ve been quite expensive, but when I rembered we were dealing with the governnt, I quickly put that thought aside.
A few days ago, I tried to understand the true extent of the operations involving anomalies. However, once I realized this was happening on a global scale, I realized the situation was much more complex than it seed. At the very least, countries all over the world were involved. What’s most surprising is that humanity apparently has no idea beings like exist, or even that shadow I defeated at the base.
Although I’ve drifted a bit off-topic, what I’m trying to say is that this organization has money—and not just a little. They really seem to have A LOT of money. Once I realized that, I decided to stop investigating. It would only give a headache. In the end, this really had nothing to do with .
By the way, I have no idea where we’re going. A few hours ago, when Laura ca to visit in the room, she seed pouty and upset. Every ti she tried to say sothing, she ended up nearly crying, saying how she’d always think of and take care of , among other things. That made start wondering if we were heading to so dangerous place or sothing like that.
Besides Emily and Laura, who were with as my researchers, we also had so security guards with us. Although they looked tough and were ard—even though the weapons were a little odd—whenever I looked at them, their bodies seed to freeze for so reason.
Of course, leading everyone was Victor. It had been a while since I last saw him, probably since the incident with the shadow at the facility. I wasn’t sure if his presence was a good sign or not. Normally, when Victor was around, strange things tended to happen—though, of course, I didn’t have concrete proof to support my theories.
"... Why the hell is she looking at like that?"
Victor seed to notice I was watching him, but I didn’t try to hide it. I tilted my head to the side, as usual, and blinked my golden eyes. Laura noticed our exchange and quickly averted her gaze to before turning back to Victor.
"Maybe you bothered her sohow?"
"... Even though I haven’t said a word since I got on the jet?"
I listened carefully to the exchange between Victor and Laura. How can I put it? Despite their distinct personalities—Laura being more lively and Victor being more reserved—they both seed completely in sync, as if they were on the sa page, sohow.
Well, those kinds of exchanges continued for hours, but honestly, at so point, I started suspecting it was just a way to relieve the tension. I could sense the anxiety of everyone around , and it only fueled my curiosity about where we were heading.
What kind of scary place were these people taking to? Of course, I wasn’t worried about myself—I'd probably be fine no matter what—but I couldn’t say the sa for Victor, Laura, and Emily.
"You two, stop with the nonsense! Listening to you is giving a headache, and we haven’t even gotten to the complicated part yet. Also, it seems like we’re almost there. Everyone, get ready to disembark"
So ti later, it seed we had finally reached our destination. Of course, I had no idea where we were, but I knew because Emily scolded Laura and Victor, who had been arguing since the start of the flight. To be honest, it took longer than I expected, and I was completely bored. Where the hell was this base located? I’m not sure if it was just my impression, but it felt like we’d been in that jet all day.
Anyway, as Emily pointed out, we had actually arrived. As always, Laura started moving out of the jet, where we’d finally get so fresh air. Of course, I don’t an , since I was inside a giant aquarium, or rather, I couldn’t even breathe.
Did that sentence even make sense to ? Anyway, the place we had arrived at, no matter how you looked at it, looked like a forest... And why was it giving such a strong feeling of déjà vu?.
Ah, yes, it was because I had woken up in a similar forest. In the end, I still had no idea why we were there. Although I tried to ask while we were on the jet, it wasn’t like I could talk. Even gesturing, all I managed to do was make Laura think I was adorable.
Well, about the place, we were on a landing strip in the middle of the forest. On one side, there were just trees as far as the eye could see, and on the other, the scenery was the sa, with the difference of a facility visible in the distance. Maybe it was Base 17… but honestly, I wasn’t sure.
Also, it was snowing… Yes, technically, we should’ve been in sumr. Putting aside my exaggeration inside the jet, it wasn’t like we’d crossed the world, and the flight didn’t even take 30 minutes. So, where exactly were we for it to be snowing? Not to ntion, sothing even stranger was happening with the snow.
Although it was just a coincidence, when I activated my eyes, several faint colored lines appeared in my field of vision. Even after rubbing my eyes and deactivating and reactivating my power, the lines didn’t disappear. I didn’t exactly know what that ant, but it seed like both the snow and the trees around us were anomalies—or maybe they were part of so anomaly.
