"So, what exactly is an Archean Legacy?" Naia asked. She didn't understand what Sei Itō and Lindy were talking about.
"Ah, it's the legacy of a lost world …" Lindy replied. Then, she remembered that Naia wasn't from the Space Administration or the Dimensional World. She wasn't even a resident of a non-magical world, so she quickly explained it from the beginning.
"But you won't understand even if I explain it this way. In the Dimensional Space, there are several worlds. Each world is born and developed on its own. Occasionally, there will be worlds that evolve too quickly. Because their technology and science are too advanced, they will destroy their own world. The dangerous technology left behind from these vanished worlds is what we call the Archean Legacy."
"Although the method of usage is unknown, depending on the method of usage, not only will the power it contains destroy the world, it might even destroy the entire dimensional space. It's an extremely dangerous technology," Cronus explained from the side.
"The correct procedures must be followed and they must be stored in a safe place," Lindy said with a serious expression. Lindy said with a serious face, "The Jewel Seeds you're currently collecting are dimensional interference type energy crystals. As long as you collect a certain amount and activate them in a specific way, it will cause a dimensional earthquake in the space. In the most serious case, it can even cause a dimensional fault. It's a very dangerous thing."
In the end, intentionally or unintentionally, Lindy's eyes fell on Ito Sei, who had been listening to her statement with a calm face.
"Before that, the tremors and eruptions caused by your conflict with a black-clothed archmage were Dimensional Quakes." In order to let Naia know what a dimensional quake was, Cronus explained it to her using an actual case as an example.
Naia was shocked when she heard this. At the same time, she couldn't help but think of the girl she had fought twice — Fett.
"It seems that the Space Administration has mastered some kind of tracing magic. Otherwise, how could the Space Administration know about Fetter's existence based on the dimensional earthquake caused by that time?" Ito Seiji secretly speculated.
Sei Itō was right. As a Dimensional Patrol Ship, Asla was also responsible for the transportation of ground troops, as well as the prevention of Dimensional Crimes. It was equipped with many magical technology devices to complete these tasks. One of them was a special device that could restore the scene based on the residual magical wave at the location of the magical explosion.
"Just one Jewel Seed can cause such a huge impact with only a ten-thousandth of its power. If multiple Jewel Seeds were to be activated at the same time, the impact would be immeasurable." Cronus knew that Naia had a rough idea of the severity of the situation, so he continued speaking slowly.
"So from now on, the Space Administration will be responsible for the recovery of the Jewel Seeds.." Lindy used a small clip to pick up a piece of candy and put it into Matcha's cup. She took a sip of the tea as she announced.
"You don't have any objections, do you?" Then he turned to look at Ito Sei, as if asking for his opinion.
"I do." Sei Itō put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
Cronus frowned when he heard Sei Itō's reply.
"Is there a problem?" Lindy asked with a smile.
"I like to finish what I have started and I don't like to give up halfway. Don't you think it's a little overbearing to announce such a unilateral decision? Is this the normal working style of the Space Administration? "Ito Sei raised his eyelids, looked at Lindy's eyes, and said softly.
"Primordial relics are highly dangerous items. It is our duty to retrieve them and keep them properly. Moreover, this matter is related to dimensional interference. It is already a dimensional crime. Ordinary civilians have no right to interfere and listen to our advice. It is better to forget this matter and return to your own world to live a stable life." Cronus was probably unhappy with Sei Itō's tone. Even though he had the calm demeanor of an adult, he still spoke with the vigor of a young man.
"Protecting the Jewel Seeds is my job. I don't care what reason the Space Administration has, I will not let this matter go! This includes the Jewel Seeds that we have collected! "Sei Itō stared into Cronus's eyes and said coldly.
"You!" Cronus propped himself up with one leg and looked like he was half-kneeling on the ground as he glared at Sei Itō.
"Cheng-Kun …" Naia, who felt that the atmosphere was not right, looked at Sei Itō fearfully and called out softly.
"Cronus." Lindy's authoritative voice was heard.
"Yes, Captain." Cronus took a deep breath and knelt down again.
"I'm sorry, I was too hasty. How about this, I'll send you back first. You can consider my suggestion at night and we can discuss it again tomorrow?" Lindy, who had restrained Cronus, turned to Sei Itō and said apologetically.
"Alright." Sei Itō did not intend to do anything to the Space Administration. He only wanted to use a strong attitude to protect the Jewel Seeds. He did not continue to force the issue and nodded in agreement.
"Cronus, send the two of them back." Lindy ordered Cronus who was beside her.
"Yes, Captain." Crono stood up and led Ito Sei, who also stood up from the ground, and Naia, who bowed politely to Lindy, out of the room. They walked along the path they came from and headed towards the teleportation platform.
A few minutes later, the three of them returned to the teleportation platform. In a bright white light, they left the Dimensional Ship Asla and returned to Sea Cry Park in Sea Cry City.
"Let's go back," Sei Itō, who had transformed back into a ferret, said as he jumped onto Naia's shoulder.
"Mm." Naia replied and walked slowly back to her house with the ferret.
"Captain." After sending Ito Sei and Naia off, Crono returned to the room and called out to Lindy, who was still kneeling and sipping on the strange tasting Matcha.
"Have you sent them back?" Lindy smiled at Cronus and asked gently.
"Mm, I've sent them back," Cronus nodded and replied. He frowned and continued, "Captain, I feel that Sei Itō is not a simple man."
"Mm, he doesn't seem like a typical Dimensional Adventurer," Lindy nodded in agreement.
"I don't know what his motive is. I have a feeling that he doesn't like to give up halfway," Cronus said in a low voice.
"Motive …" Lindy picked up the tea in her hand and took a sip as she muttered to herself.
On the other side, after more than 10 minutes of walking, Ito Sei and Naiha returned to the Takamachi residence. After having dinner with Takamachi Momoko, Takamachi Kyoya, and Miyuki Takamachi, Naiha took Ito Sei back to the bedroom.
"Um, Kyoto-kun, can we reject the people from the Space Administration like that? Based on your introduction, they seem to be very powerful, "Naia said to Ito Sei in Japanese after she returned to her bedroom.
"So, Naia, do you want to agree to their proposal and let all our efforts go to waste?" Sei Itō did not answer Naia's question directly. Instead, he asked a question of his own.
"No!" After two to three seconds of silence, Naia's expression and tone were firm.
"Then do as you wish. I'm still able to handle the combat power of just one dimensional ship. There's no need to worry. Besides, our world is not a place where the people from the Space Administration can do whatever they want, "Sei Itō said with a smile.
"Eh?" Naia could understand the first half of the sentence, but she did not understand the second half.
"Our world is officially known as' Outside Management World 97 'in the database of the Space Administration. According to the literal meaning, our world is outside the scope of the Administration's official management. Furthermore, it is located in a relatively remote area! There are three criteria for the Space Administration to manage a world. The first is whether the world has developed a magical civilization and whether the magical civilization is widely recognized. The second is whether the world has enough value for the Administration to develop, and the third is whether the world has developed Dimensional Travel technology … "Sei Itō patiently explained as he knew that Naia knew nothing about the Space Administration and its system.
"But no matter what the criteria is, there is a hidden requirement behind it, and that is whether the world can be managed by the Administration! To put it more bluntly, can the Administration's combat power defeat the natives of this world? "
"Although the world where Earth is located does not meet any of the three criteria and is considered an outside world, a long time ago, before the establishment of the Space Administration, it was invaded by a dynasty that attempted to rule the entire Dimensional World."
"What was the result?" Naia asked curiously.
"The enemy's first landing team was completely annihilated, and the reason for their disappearance is unknown," Sei Itō replied calmly.
"Whoa." Naia let out a low cry that was hard to decipher, but it sounded powerful.
"If that's the case, then we'll do as Sei-kun said." Then, Naia nodded.
"Very well, I'll inform the Space Administration of our decision now!" Sei Itō said as he stood in front of the red spherical crystal, the Heart of the Rising Sun, that was placed on a small handkerchief by Naia. He used it as a relay to connect with Asla who was far away in the Dimensional World.
"Have you made up your mind?" Lindy asked gently.
"Yes, our decision is to maintain the current situation and continue to retrieve the Jewel Seed as individuals. We hope that the Space Administration can understand and not cause us any unnecessary trouble," Sei Itō replied.
"Is that so …" Lindy muttered.
"Alright, I agree to your request," Lindy decided after a moment.
"Ma … Captain!" When Crono heard that this decision was clearly against the rules of the Space Administration, he was so anxious that he forgot to maintain his previous behavior and almost called out Lindy's other name. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly stopped what he was about to say and called out Lindy's original name, hoping that Lindy would change her decision after seeing his eagerness to object.
Lindy smiled at Crono and said to Sei Itō who was in the image of a ferret on the screen, "But on the other hand, if we discover any dangerous behavior during the retrieval process, we have the right to intervene at any time and forcibly take over the retrieval process. You don't have any objections, do you?"
"I'll add a condition. You can only intervene when the danger level is high enough to cause a Dimensional Quake!" Sei Itō who didn't object to Lindy's suggestion added a restriction just in case.
"Okay," Lindy agreed.
"Thank you for your understanding. Good night. I wish you all sweet dreams." Seeing that things were settled, Ito Mori said politely.
"Good night," Lindy replied politely.
Then Sei Itō made a Dimensional Communicator and said to Naia, "Okay, it's done. As long as it doesn't cause a Dimensional Quake like last time, we can collect as we wish."
"Phew … That's great," Naia said with relief.
"But there's one thing, Naia …" Sei Itō changed his tone and said again.
"Hmm?" Naia looked at Sei Itō who was in the image of a ferret and waited for him to continue.
"As far as I can tell, most of the Jewel Seeds in Haiming City have been collected. If we want to find more Jewel Seeds, we need to go outside the city. Are you ready?" Ito Sei asked softly.
"…" Natsuya Takauchi fell silent.
Sei Itō didn't rush her. He just stood there quietly and waited for Naia to make up her mind.
After a minute or so, Naia Takamori stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to my mother."
"Okay," Sei Itō replied softly.
Takao Naia stood still and took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she walked to the bedroom door, turned the doorknob, and walked downstairs. She found her mother, Momoko Takao, and called her to the side. Momoko Takao was watching TV in boredom, and she began to talk to her mother about what happened.
Momoko Takamori saw the determination in Naia's eyes. As a mother, although she was worried, she still agreed to Naia's request to leave home for a while. Then, she hugged Naia with worry in her eyes.
"Thank you, mother," Naia, who was lying in Momoko Takamori's arms, said gratefully.
Of course, because Naia wasn't an assistant of the Space Administration like in the original work, she didn't have to stay with Sei Itō in Asra. Therefore, she didn't need to leave home overnight. So, after the discussion, she went back to her bedroom to rest. She was going to leave home with Sei Itō the next morning and embark on a journey to find other Jewel Seeds.
At the same time, after a day and a night of travel, the Time Garden finally arrived at the outer wall of the Dimensional World where Midzelda City was located … RS!
