Chapter 28: A New Dawn
The Completion of EVE and Eliza
The Full Moon Night Visit
On the night of the full moon, Satoru and his team once again headed to the shrine. Seeking power and information from the otherworld, they had made it a routine to visit the shrine regularly.
“This time, gathering information from the otherworld is crucial,” Satoru told his companions.
Upon reaching the shrine, the door to the otherworld opened, and they successfully retrieved ancient scrolls before returning to the real world. Holding the scrolls, Satoru let out a deep breath of relief.
“With this, we can see the next steps more clearly,” he said, his eyes reflecting both determination and uncertainty.
“These scrolls contain new technologies and knowledge. Let’s make the most of them,” Prometheus (Kagaya) said as he unrolled one of the scrolls, diving into research. His expression was filled with excitement, but also a sense of responsibility.
The Search for an Energy Source
On the next full moon night, they set their sights on bringing back a powerful energy source from the otherworld.
“With this energy, we should be able to further enhance our AI systems,” Asclepius (Masato) said with anticipation.
After discovering the energy source in the otherworld, they successfully brought it back to the real world. “This will push our AI development another step forward,” Prometheus (Kagaya) said as he carried the energy source into the lab and immediately began his research.
Three Years of Peace and the Threat of ADAM
“It’s strange. For three years, we haven’t heard a peep from ADAM,” Ryoko remarked with a furrowed brow. “It’s as if it’s watching our every move.”
“Maybe it’s waiting, observing us until we make a move,” Masato agreed.
“But we can’t let our guard down. As soon as we act, ADAM will likely respond,” Tomomi added, her sense of caution growing.
A Major Shift
Finally, the development of EVE and Eliza reached completion. EVE, with her long pink hair, exuded a warm and approachable aura, while Eliza, with her blue hair, gave off a calm and composed presence. The lab was now more vibrant than ever, with the advancements in technology allowing them to tackle new challenges.
“This is our new strength,” Satoru said with deep emotion, standing before the completed AI systems.
But the period of peace didn’t last long. Sensing a new threat looming, the team once again united, determined to face whatever came next.
“Now is the time for our efforts to bear fruit. Let’s fight with the power we’ve gained from the otherworld,” Masato declared, newly energized.
“We need to return to the shrine on the next full moon and draw on the power of the otherworld,” Misa said with fierce determination.
With that, the team prepared to face the new enemy, ready to utilize all the technology they had developed and the knowledge they had gained from the otherworld.
Visiting the Characters’ Domains
Satoru returned to his homeland, visiting a space where he could truly relax. His faithful servant, Noah, was waiting for him there.
“Satoru-sama, if you rest here, you’ll catch a cold. Let me take you to a more comfortable spot,” Noah gently suggested.
“This is the most peaceful place for me,” Satoru smiled. “Sometimes, it’s important to just sit back and think about nothing.”
Noah nodded kindly. “Everyone relies on you, Satoru-sama. Please take care of yourself.”
Meanwhile, Tomomi sat in a quiet space, surrounded by books that would deepen her knowledge.
“Welcome back, Tomomi-sama. It’s good to see you,” her servant said softly.
“Yes, there’s still so much to learn. But I’ll keep taking it one step at a time,” Tomomi responded calmly.
Masato, in his own special place, continued honing his healing powers.
“Masato-sama, this power will be crucial for the upcoming battles,” his servant remarked.
“Yes, I’m ready. With this power, I’ll be able to overcome any obstacle,” Masato confidently replied.
Misa returned to a tranquil place to reconnect with nature and reaffirm her balance.
“Welcome back, Misa-sama… nature… stronger now,” her servant Peeko said in broken speech, excitedly fluttering around her.
“Thank you, Peeko. Together, we’ll protect this world,” Misa replied, filled with gratitude.
The other members also spent time in their respective domains, fulfilling their roles and preparing for what lay ahead.
Returning to Reality
After completing their explorations in the otherworld, the team decided to return to reality, regaining a temporary sense of normalcy. Each of them went back to their homes, ready for some much-needed rest.
“Let’s call it a day for now. You all did great,” Satoru said to the team.
“Thank you. I’ll see everyone at the lab tomorrow,” Misa replied.
“Yes, tomorrow will be an important day,” Kagaya quietly added.
Each of them returned home, spending a quiet night in reflection. The next day, they would gather at the lab once more, ready for the next adventure that awaited them.
