The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 70, Completion of Duty and Farewell
During the day. The cauldron was finally dry and ready to use. Tohka lit the bonfire again and Keiko who she had previously gone to the waterfront took the water, putting her cauldron on the blaze of the bonfire.
After that, Keiko put in all four ingredients. Ghost Seaweed Seed, Sea Flower Petal Seed, Fire Sea Flower Seed, and lastly Toxic Sea Flower Seed. Then he stirred the water with an ordinary twig. Instantly, after a few stirring, the color of the water began to turn into a thick green color.
After a few minutes of stirring, Keiko took out a jar that she once used to carry my antidote. Keiko opened the lid and dipped it so that the water could get inside. After that, it was lifted by him and closed. Keiko turned her body towards us and showed her the jar.
"Done!" he said with confidence.
We looked at each other and felt like jumping for joy but it wasn't done.
"Yosha!" —That's what we said simultaneously.
"Then the rest just pour it into the machine and the mission is done, right?" ask Artoria,
"Yes. I suppose.".
Tohka raised her hands up and stretched her body.
"We've been here two days... It will finally be done" said Tohka,
"Yes. Unfeelably. With the time spent, we can go directly to the Machinery." replied Artoria,
"Are you going straight to the Machinery after this?" ask Anna, please,
"No. Not particularly. We better rest in your palace before leaving again" I replied
"so yeah... What about you, Keiko? Is it straight back to the Ender Library?",
"I think yes. We're going to split up Anna's palace. But that doesn't mean we'll never see each other again.",
"Yes. I know it too. Maybe you're going to my palace once a month because you miss Nakano, right?".
Keiko's face turned red. He turned his face away from Anna.
"Nope-no. That's not true!" said Keiko held back her embarrassment, though,
"Eh... Is that so...? Then you're not going to my palace anymore? Don't you want to see Nakano again?",
"I-i want! But...",
"What?",
"With..hide.." whispered Keiko,
"What's? I didn't hear you because your voice was small.",
"N-no! It's nothing!",
"Is that so..?".
In the middle of that atmosphere, I interrupted their conversation.
"Easy-after. Let's go if we want to get home soon.",
"Yes.",
"Yes.",
"Yes.",
"Yes.",
"Yes" they answered simultaneously.
Me and my friends unceremoniously teleported straight to Aoi's place. After getting there. Aoi who closed her eyes, opened her eyes and greeted.
"Good day to you all" he said,
"Good day." replied all of us,
"Sorry long. We need a lot of time to make the cauldron." I said,
"It's okay. I can still survive about 30 years from now. I'm a long man" said Aoi,
"so yeah. We've made the potion. Does it pour directly on the egg?",
"I guess not. The eggs are still alive today because of the machines that are controlled there" Aoi said, pointing to the black short building in front of all the eggs.
"Oh yes, this is water. Will the water in Keiko's jar be mixed with the water here?" ask Anna, please,
"No. In this world, there are many types of water and most of that water is heavier than ordinary water, therefore the water is not fused." Obviously Aoi,
"Is that the same kind of water we were looking for for the Toxic Sea Flower and my antidote?" my tofu, my,
"Yes. That kind of water. The water has heavier substances than ordinary water. Therefore the water cannot mix even though it is already in the water. So it can still be said. safe...",
"That's it...".
Keiko opened the lid of her jar and started pouring the water inside the jar into the black pipe. And sure enough what Aoi said, the water flowed as if it was flowing in the air. The water flows as normal.
After pouring everything. The machine began to react. The pipe was pulled back inside. The eggs began to move.
A few seconds later, the egg let out a cracking sound. The crack gets bigger and eventually the egg hatches. The eggs give off living creatures similar to Aoi. 3 of them are male-faced and 2 female-faced.All creatures have a size equivalent to normal humans.
The creatures swam like squid and swam towards their mother, Aoi.
"Thank you all very much.... It has helped me to free my children from their eggs." Aoi said in a moved tone.
Me and my friends smiled at Aoi, seeing her cuddling with her children. What a harmonious family.
Keiko who was behind my friends and me, looked back. He saw one behind him. He also has an idea. He walked towards Anna and asked her to give him the last Energy Cube. Without saying, Anna instantly realized it and gave it the final Energy Cube.
After getting what she wanted, Keiko walked back to the portal machine and gave the machine the Energy Cube. The portal began to work.
Aoi and her children saw that. Aoi directly told them to enter the portal. His children obey the command "Last" - he. They swim and enter the portal one by one.
"Thank you again for your help. You guys have helped me complete my last assignment in the universe" Aoi said,
"Not really. We're just doing our job here. Where's the cure for the virus?" much
"Aren't they by your side?".
We looked to our right side and were surprised to see something like a yellow star splash.
"What's this? Should we eat it?" ask Anna.
I put both my hands between the sparks and then took them out again. I was surprised that the spark was stuck in both my hands. I shook my hand hoping the spark would come off, but I couldn't.
Suddenly my hand shook and the spark entered my body.
"Nakano?" call Sei.
I turned my body around and they were surprised to see something in me.
"Nakano's... You.. back to normal!" said Sei,
"really?" my many.
I looked towards my hand. I saw my skin return to normal.
My friends who saw it, did not hesitate to put both hands into the yellow splashes. And everything healed quickly.
"That's your reward for helping me. You better get out of here, 'cause if you stay here any longer you're gonna get the same virus again." Obviously Aoi,
"What about you?" my tofu, my,
"I'm going to sleep here forever...",
"so yeah... Is there no way to get you out of this cage?",
"No. Don't worry. I will die but the universe will be saved because of my children. They would spurt out sparks like that all over the ocean. It took about 30 years to make the universe clear of this virus.",
"Then we go first.",
"Yes. Go awayl. You guys don't have to worry. You are the stars that are in the sky, playing with pleasure and always together. Taka is alone. Let me fall into a pile of sand and blend in with it. I hope you won't forget Kinase Aoi's name.",
"Yes. We promise we won't forget it. Then I'll see you again... Aoi's. We'll meet in an even more peaceful world as friends...",
"Yes. Goodbye goodbye.".
My friends and I teleported home. Every meeting there's a farewell, right?
(She looks a lot like you, Asuha. Wait a minute..I'll catch up with you soon and we'll see them from above together, right? They are stars that shine brightly in the night sky and whereas we are stars that have long been dim and gone. Let's toast to the stars, Asuha.).
