  "Too, too cunning, des.....purposely said such a story, sobs, made Izuna cry so as to win the game, des."

  "Soooo, sorry! That topic was a bit too dark!!"

  Tet apologized to Izuna who had huge tears tumbling down her face and

  thought.

  To have the personality of crying after hearing that kind of story——as expected,

  this child is extremely precious.

  In fact, when this story was told in the past to other different races, they would

  simply say that [This was natural] and prevaricate.

  That was because even though 6000 years had passed, different races stil held

  mutual-belittling over one another.

  The young girl who said this story was too much and saddening——is truly a

  [Normal child].

  "I'm sorry. But, this is all true....This was the time period of the world in the

  [Great War]."

  "...Ivan, died, des..."

  "Yes, dead. Humans——if touched by any Demonia before the [Ten Oaths]——

  no."

  "If bitten by any Werebeast, they are simply dead....This is the world's weakest creature oh."

  "——!! Izuna would never do that kind——————....."

  Seeing how Izuna was about to say how————she would never do that kind

  of thing————and swallowed her words back, Tet felt admiration.

  Yes...She couldn't say that she would [Never] do it. This young girl is very frank

  and smart.

  Having an accurate understanding of those things in the past, was no different

  than using games to do things in Elchea.

  On top of that, she correctly felt the unreasonable and wrong things.

  "....That kind of thing is wrong, des......absolutely, weird, des..."

  "Yes——that is the case, the world was crazy too."

  Indeed, truthfully, the world became unreasonably il ogical.

  If a child was to accept it as if it was [Natural]——that would be unusual.

  "But! A dark topic would be too boring eh~♪ Let's change it a bit okay~☆ "

  In order to change the heavy atmosphere, Tet said while wiping away Izuna's

  tears.

  "Do, you know about the Ex-Machinas?♪"

  "....Tenth position of the <16 races>....Ex-Machina....Don't fool me, des."

  "As expected~☆ , you've learned a lot, impressive impressive!"

  While appeasing the sniffing Izuna, Tet continued the game and said:

  "Yes, Ex-Machina....Its existence, a race whose body is made of machines. The

  Old Deus that became [Inactive] due to the long time——have already forgotten

  about the Ex-Machinas, they were a race created by Old Deus in the past."

  "...Grandpa said once, des. Once hit, strategize, the second time won't work. In the great war....the [God Kil ers], were only the Flügels and the Ex-Machinas,

  des. So——"

  Yes, that was well said, Izuna continued.

  "——[Don't fail, or else it will cause a lot of trouble], des."

  "Per~Fect answer~~~!! As a reward for the small red flower, I shall continue

  stroking your fur."

  Tet had a smile across his face as he stroked and stroked and stroked.

  "Then, that was the Ex-Machinas——one day, Riku met them."

  Surprised! Like a startled kitten, Izuna jumped up and pulled a distance away

  from Tet.

  "————unun, Riku suffered an attack from that extremely dangerous Ex-

  Machina race. And it was at a speed where a human couldn't react and

  perceive."

  "No, nono, didn't you promise not to say such a topic anymore, des!"

  "Eh~? I just said that a dark topic would be too boring, so we should change the topic oh."

  "I can't hear you I can't hear you, des!!"

  "It's no use trying to cover your eyes oh~——what the Ex-Machina used to

  attack Riku was, [Pseudo·Forested Skyshot]. The Elven species' magical

  weapon——a weapon that can release numerous vacuum cutting blades that

  can destroy anything!"

  "Ooo....Ahh.....!?"

  "Blowing away the black dust, Riku's coat and equipment got crushed and

  destroyed...."

  "Ah~~~, ahh~~~ can't hear it, des, can't hear it, des!"

  "Then, Riku-dono who fell down——"

  "NYAHHHHHHHH~~~~~~AHHHH!!"

  "Kiss, then she said [Ni , I can't resist it anymore, turn me into a woman]~☆ "

  .....

  ...........?

  "No, wasn't he chopped up? Des."

  "Oh, I said his items and clothing were chopped up, Riku-dono was

  un☆ harmed~"

  Izuna, for the first time since she was born.....wanted to beat up a man.

  Chapter 2 - 1×1=Aimless

  Part 1

  ......Okay, let's organize the current situation.

  My name is Riku, 18 years old, a virgin——....What? Can't I be one——!?

  ——wrong.

  Wrong, wrong wrong wrong, even though my mind is in a mess and questions

  are piling up messily, but for now——calm down first, and organize what exactly

  happened.

  Even though I can't comprehend what is going on, but I'm currently in the worst

  situation one can expect.

  Firstly, prioritize my heart's question——what happened, what is happening and

  what is going to happen, this.

  Confirm the state of the [Lock]....No problem. Regardless of the inexplicable

  things that are happening, the lock must always stay locked. Then, grasp the

  present situation in a second, no a mil ionth of a second. Or else——

  ".....[Investigate]....Organizing current situation...."

  It looks like a monster resembling a naked young girl is straddling my body.

  However, I have no means of escape even if she were to do anything to me!

  I must accelerate my thinking——to a speed where even time seems to have

  stopped——

  Part 2

  Riding on a horse, Riku headed to the ruins mapped out by the dwarves, east of

  the Colony.

  It was an Elven city destroyed by an attack from a Flügel.

  Information about the elves were extremely precious and important.

  However, there wasn't any loot on the battlefield, and the intel collected was

  insufficient.

  In any case, the Flügels didn't employ any weapons on the battlefield; they could

  simply cast magic without a medium to rid them of their enemies.

  But on the way, the falling of the Black ash became more intense, causing Riku

  to flee to a nearby ruin to avoid distress——there, he came into contact with a

  [Different race].

  Aside from the slight mechanical properties seen, the body was of a normal

  naked young girl——an [Ex-Machina].

  One of the more violent races. But there wouldn't be any problems if she wasn't

  provoked. That was supposed to be the case.

  Riku intended to ignore her and continue moving.

  ——in an instant, Riku was down on the floor.

  He was pressed onto the ground while the surrounding Black ash and his

  equipment disappeared.

  Although he couldn't comprehend what just happened....Riku was stil alive.

  Facing against Riku whose upper body was stripped naked, the Ex-Machina

  stuck on his body and said.

  "Ni , I can't resist it anymore. Turn me into a woman."

  ——

  ....Did I lose my memory?

  When I fell down. The possibility of me hitting my head is high.

  If I'm not mistaken, she expressionlessly said some weird things as if in a
r />   narration, and then, my chastity——my first kiss was taken away.

  ....I seemed to have grasped onto everything. That was the first question, [What

  happened].

  Continuing on to question two——just when I'm about to think about [What is

  happening]....

  "[Problem]....In,comprehensible."

  The Ex-Machina who tightly clung onto Riku's body muttered out. She was

  emotionless, expressionless and like a machine.

  ——...Un, I'm stil quite competent, Riku's heart boasted.

  He used his knowledge and reason to suppress his spinal reflex of wanting to

  open his mouth.

  Which means he suppressed his urge to yel out [I'm the one who is supposed to

  feel that this is incomprehensible right you jerk!].

  ——[Ex-Machina], even among all of the Great War monsters, they were an

  extremely special race.

  Firstly, they were made out of machines. Even creatures cannot compare

  against their coordination and movements as a [Cluster] population.

  That means——an individual's find means the entire population's find and being

  hostile to one means being hostile to the entire race.

  One of the reasons why this race was regarded as an extremely special race

  was due to their way of fighting.

  After receiving an attack, they could figure out and replicate the type of attack in less than a second, before quickly firing it back.

  Regardless of whether it was an Elf's magic, the attack from a dwarf's weapon,

  or even a Dragonias's breath——it can be replicated and fired back.

  Their arms were constantly evolving in the long Great War. It could be theorized

  that the Ex-Machina——are the most brutal race without any limits to their

  strengths.

  However, they had another special property.

  ——that is, [Never instigating].

  They would retaliate if they were under attack, but they wouldn't adopt a hostile

  attitude when they aren't attacked.

  Therefore, the data that the dwarves recorded down——[A dangerous race not

  to be touched].

  ——the knowledge above, forced Riku to shut his mouth.

  In other words, if he was designated as an [Enemy]——the entire human

  species will be destroyed.

  ——then, [What exactly is happening] !?

  "What is wrong with this guy!!"

  Against such contradiction with the intel he knew, Riku cried out in his heart.

  Never instigating. So he was going to ignore her and move on——which

  spiralled into an awkward scene between the two.

  Even after he had organised all his information correctly, Riku stil couldn't

  understand the present situation and the situation where there was no

  instigation.

  The young mechanical girl continued while on his body.

  "——because the setting to fulfil this condition, is not sufficient?"

  This question was phrased as if a speculation has failed——Riku was hesitant

  about the answer to that question.

  Human beings are dead. They cannot exist so they cannot be perceived——so

  should he remain silent and not respond?

  "....Let's not care about likes and dislikes first. On whose permission did you obtain to take away my chastity?"

  "No"———she replied using [Human language].

  At least, he was sure that he was identified as a human.

  While this fact in itself would bring shivers down a human's spine, if he was to

  ignore or reject her now, she would possibly declare humans as [Hostile].

  Comply to rationality———[Now, talk to her].

  ———Don't act rashly before grasping the situation.

  She didn't answer the question directed to herself as she continued speaking

  expressionlessly with a nonchalant tone.

  " Set 072——[I, its not like I'm doing this because I like you. Accident, yes this is an accident]"

  ....It was read without any sentimental feelings, just like the [Ni ] from before.

  This caused Riku's mind to blank out.

  ——what is with this situation.

  "......... Person's temperature, pulse, genitals, did not react."

  "Can you please stop peeking into someone's physiological reactions?"

  Riku tried to put on a calm look——while his heart who found a troublesome

  situation cried out.

  She was capable of reading humans' physiological response. The possibility of

  being deemed a hostile target after [Lying] was——very high.

  As if understanding Riku's heartfelt worries, the Ex-Machina girl asked once

  more.

  " Speculated that human's carnal desires would activate in the present situation. Wrong speculation?"

  "...That is so, yah. The answer would vary from different humans."

  ——he cannot lie. But her purpose can't be understood either. He was unable to

  comprehend the current situation.

  If she could read physiological responses, then Riku's fear would've been seen

  through in a glance. What exactly was her motive....?

  " Did not feel sexual excitement from this machine——because

  machines lack [Charm]?"

  While thinking——a brave question was thrown at him, causing Riku to feel

  dizzy.

  Facing against a disaster that would bring forth genocide upon being deemed as

  a hostile target, while also being thrown a question that would trouble a human

  being——also the fact that lying wasn't permitted.

  ....After some determination, Riku carefully observed the Ex-Machina who was

  straddled on his body.

  ——she looked similar to a ten-year-old human girl. In contrast with her black

  hair and white body, she had ruby eyes. She was undoubtedly a beautiful girl

  ——if not for the two cables resembling tails that were sticking out her body.

  "From an objective point of view, I think you are very cute. To arouse me, the

  best would be someone from the same race. And also you are too childish."

  ...How was this answer. Neither lie nor deny——as a virgin, this was not a

  perfect answer.

  Riku felt a sense of accomplishment, but the Ex-Machina girl immediately

  questioned him again.

  " Without experience, stil want to choose the person?"

  "Do you really think virgins have no right to choose anything..."

  ——while answering, Riku's thoughts gradually stabilized and he began to see

  the current [Situation].

  From the negotiations, Riku had a doubt in his head. Assuming this doubt was

  correct——

  "Its about time....Could you tell me [Why did you look for me]?"

  ——question. It was dangerous to ask this kind of imprudent question, but.

  From the available information, it could be predicted that——there was a crisis

  more serious than this.

  The Ex-Machina girl immediately replied with an indifferent tone.

  " Want to resolve the independent language between humans."

  "....Independent language?"

  Riku repeated——praying and hoping that this was consistent with his

  predictions.

  But the Ex-Machina girl simply nodded her head and mechanically said.

  "——the independent language known as [Heart]."

  " Mutual-skinship——the independent language that requires skin

  contact. Speculated Ex-Machinas do not have, the behavior of [Heart]. Imitating


  movements, judged that this machine can also read [Heart].....Wrong?"

  ——Really.

  It looks like the bad feeling was slowly getting fulfil ed, Riku gave a bitter smile.

  Being wrestled like this, the intention to commit suicide was present, but——

  Able to speak human's language, able to speculate out human's sexuality even

  though it was incorrect, and able to grasp onto a human's physiological

  responses.

  Facing against these facts and concerns, Riku should start feeling self-

  depreciative.

  Humanity wasn't of a verge of being revealed, they were already seen through

  long ago.

  ——we were observed. I'm afraid, we have been observed since long ago.

  "——yes, if skinship would allow the [Heart] to convey message, then humanity

  wouldn't be worried anymore."

  The Ex-Machina's gaze was on him as she started to display actions akin of

  going into a deep thought——

  Riku's ideas gradually cleared out as he thought of the confusion from before.

  No matter the reason, the Ex-Machinas were eyeing on humanity——they were

  spied on.

  It was ridiculous for them to hide themselves when in fact, their entirety was

  understood by the Ex-Machinas.

  In any case, it might either be best or worse scenerio to get spied on by the Ex-

  Machinas, regardless of their intentions.

  The race deemed as the most dangerous by the other races was watching them

  ——this point was enough for destruction.

  ——what should I do? Nothing, just go with the norms.

  It wasn't a good method——it was the best method. Nothing more

  Placing my hand onto my chest, I start to chant a spell as usual.

  But this time, there was a slight difference——sealing it. ——seal it up, close it,

  forget it all.

  Drive off the memory that this hateful Ex-Machina can wipe off humanity like

  dust, kil ing us all.

  Whether feelings, memories, horror, shaking, anxiety, remove all of them——

  become an undead.

  There were two motives. Find out al intention, and then proceed with

  [Induction].

  Proceed with deep breaths. I have a [Friendly relation] with this Ex-Machina——

  this gave me confidence.

  Deceive your physiological responses. Deceive your memory. Chain yourself in

  everything——install the [Lock].

  Can it be done? Of course it can be done [Riku]——if it's you.

  Her motive was to understand the [Heart], if that's the case, then she does not
