Arifureta Extra Coate Lord of The WorldEmily Grant's Recollection
AN: This is exposition chapter that reue’s scene
「Why……why is that……how……」
While whispering under her breath, E to the research building of the university with fast steps that raised loud clopping sound Her blue eyes were swi around without co in hectic pace, as though to display the impatience and irritation inside her heart, heron the nail of her thuirl with blonde hair tied into a side tail and almond shaped eyes like a cat, and then white lab coat as her tradeed to enroll into Percival University which have prominent research facility of medicine even in this Britain, she was a first class researcher that had already published several thesis which were highly evaluated
When she enrolled at first, because of her age and her exa out, she received a lot of attention, not a little jealousy, and treated like a tu laid out defensive wall using bluff and stubbornness and co what inside her heart cairl like that, that her current situation where she had no leeway to hide the agitation and i unusual, it caused several students that could be seen scattered inside the ca students sent Eaze, however E how immersed she was inside her mind But her as like that suddenly returned to her senses due to the melody that abruptly echoed from her setting bothered to her shaking side tail searched for her pouch a little flustered and took out the smartphone that was her aim
「Ye, yes, this is Emily Is this, teacher?」
『Aa, it's me Emily Where are you now? Are you still in your place? Have you seen the news this inald Doas norood natured old e that was at his fifty, was now asking question rapidly with voice that was a mix of impatience and bewilderment that was similar with Emily until just now
Professor Doas a professor in this Percival University, and the person in charge of the laboratory Eed to He had a habitual "professor" appearance with short black hair that had white hairto the side, thick glasses, and tobacco pipe In fact, if someone merely spoke "professor" in this Percival University, most students would be reminded of Professor Down
His appearance that was "really" like professor was also the cause, but more than that it was because he was someone that was very excellent as an educator It wasn't like Professor Down hireat achievement, but reat contribution to society, and everyone of theinald Down is exactly their teacher they were indebted with"
Even though he didn't leave behind particular result in scientific society, seeing froiven a laboratory, how all other professors would take off their hat to hi, it was clear just how high his ability as an educator
「No, I will arrive soon at the lab What about teacher?」
『I too will be at the lab soon From your voice, it seeether with Hendricks-senpai and Lizzie-senpai Both of the all the other senpai I left the home ahead of them」
『I see…… Then, everyone will co Rod-senpai and others, Hendricks-senpai and the rest will also head toward the lab right away」
『Got it Then, let's talk in detail at the lab ……Eh I had conference, but I'm sorry that I didn't return ho words that seeaze to burst into tear for a moment
Emily's home was really far from this university In order to make her dream cae of eleven years old, and then she entered dormitory at the same time with her enrollment to the university
At first, Ehtless whisper, jealousy, and treated like a tumor, she put up bluff and obstinacy「I came here to study! I'irl who felt loneliness fro distanced from family, and her heart exhausted fro between university and dor
Because she had intellect that towered above the rest, to a certain degree she was used to excessive expectation and special treat So that her heart wouldn't be warped due to such environment, both her parents education policy that endeavored so Emily could live a life that wasn't any different from normal children, and then their deep love raised Eirl
Because of that, E supported by the letter from her parents that would surely reach her once a ith not only writing, but also with pocketheart, suddenly stopped in a certain day
――If you like, how about doing homestay in my house?
The one who called at her with that offer was Professor Down As soreatest educator, he had a relatively large residence located in a quiet residential area as his house Professor Dohose wife died early due to sickness with no child of his own often explained with a wry smile that it was lonely to live in a spacious house with himself alone, so he offered homestay to students with circumstances and really had no financial surplus
It just happened that there was a vacant roo who attended his lecture looked like she was going to be crushed anytime, Professor Doho couldn't bear to see that spoke such offer and held out his hand toward Emily
There were a lot of elder brother and sisters at the house Rather than calling it a hoether, they studied together, and they ether
Those words of Professor Doas an irreplaceable treasure for Emily
『Emily? What's the matter? Are you okay?』
「……I'm fine teacher Thanks you very an As always, even now in this situation he racked his brain for her sake as though she was his own daughter For Eree that her real father Carl Grant was plainly feeling vexed「My father role is stolen-」
She felt her heart that was disarrayed by the shocking news that she saw thisdown
Emily said that she was okay one more time to Professor Doas worried for her and cut the phone, then she started walking toward the laboratory, this tie facility located inside Percival University――Research facility building C Inside one of the roo in the air
The people here, was the person in charge of this laboratory, Professor Down and Emily, and then the students of Professor Doho like E homestay at Professor Down's house――Hendricks Wesk and Lizzie Ashton In addition, there were Rod Hurst and Dennis Litton ere also Professor Down's students
「Tha, that's just coincidence right? Right? Isn't that so?」
Rod as handso with unusually stiff expression
He as a self-styled feested, soirl, but at the same time he was also the mood-maker of the class, in a serious mood like this he would be the first one who cracked jokes to melt the atmosphere
But, even so the news of thisthat was picked from internet, as expected even his usual talkativeness was lacking in luster
「The "cause" that caused this phenomenon, do you think there are that ?」
Dennis tilted up his glasses with hishis bitter expression His hair was cut short, his shirt was buttoned properly until his neck, and then his glasses He as the most serious in Down's classroom just like his appearance often quarreled tit for tat with Rod, but his rebuttal this tinal
Because Rod understood it, he too closed his mouth with the sa, abnor in it……I don't know any sickness or ive those kind of symptoms Except "that"……」
Hendricks stiff words caused Emily at the side to twitch and tremble Hendricks was a senior who had homestay at Down house since before E brother for Emily who supported her both at home and also at university
Hendricks hi genius girl and only looked at her from afar, but with the homestay as the iirl with really normal emotion, and since then he took care of her like she was his real little sister
It was a coe between the members of Down classroom and close friends that when E to Hendricks
The words that came from the senior that Emily trusted and loved dearly from her heart caused Emily, the creator of "that" to shake like a kitten Hendricks ientle 「Sorry Emily I didn't mean to blame you」
「Hendricks Pay attention to what you say After all my little sister is delicate」
「No, Lizzie It's not like she is your little si――」
「Shut up! Or rather, you patted her toosis here?」
E the pat of Hendricks was stolen in a flash by Lizzie who hugged her into her breast She then said「It will be okay you know~, big sis is with you after all~」while consoling her like a little child with 'good girl, good girl'
As expected, that treatirl who had turned sixteen, that Eot the serious at「Wait, Lizzie-nee! I told you to stop treatingred hair that was tied with scrunchie, dangled froh her attitude was strict, but actually she was an extremely helpful woman with deep emotion She was in the same year with Hendricks and homestay at Down house fro of love toward Hendricks
At first with how Hendricks was taking care of Emily, Lizzie's relationship with E her drearaduallysis
Emily too, she knew about Lizzie's love, so soly said「You should just marry him already」and so on, but each tiht red and she would be fidgeting, that appearance was that of a lovely woender would feel so
Currently the scrunchie that had also becoh she had never said it to anyone but it was so to become a kind and lovely wo to ile her hair to the front fro it into side tail instead
Inside the rooue of the two sisters Professor Doho sh Just with that Emily and others ih they had harht of the words of Professor Down that they respected His cough was the signal for the mind
「Just as Hendricks said, there is only one phenomenon that can turn a hu else that can do this, but even so, this kind of radical transformation――is impossible In all probability, this is【H3-α4】」
Professor Down declared that while his gaze turn at thebuild covered in ar like a beast without reasoning
That man didn't even show any reaction at the voice of the police telling him to stop, far from that he slammed his body toward the nearby street la around the broken street la him into scrap
That violenceall at once, but the ouging his body, he charge toward the police with unbelievable speed and routed them The struck police was thrown to the air like a joke with parabolic trajectory That sight was just like a scene in B-movie
The person who filmed the video was a passerby as at that place by chance, the video see ss could carry hireatly blurry Before long, the video taker who had taken enough distance was frequently saying「Ohhis smartphone's cary roar were raised fro back which was proven by the resounding sound of gunshots, and a
Suddenly the raht after that it fell on his knees as though it was a machine that had ran out of electricity And then, at that place which was in uproar, a faint sound of anguish could be hear coh his neck was being strangled
Right after that, a transfore man Histo shrink No, perhaps it would be " instead In theobserved by the due uish, his body withered until the size of a normal adult male, and then his hands parted fro in small shivers
The face of the man that became visible from there was co that he showed until now, it was the face of a young man that looked ordinary which could be found anywhere, no, rather kindness could even be seen fro man made an expression that almost burst into tear for a uished voice oncehis face
The body of the collapsed young man withered in the blink of eye, it lost moisture, deep wrinkles were carved onto his skin, skin and bone that lost the flesh were starting to stand out, like that, the young man didn't move anymore
The polices looked and nodded at each other, and then they carefully approached the young man And then, when they didn't receive any response even when they called to him, toman as still stiffened, and then the polices screamed and backed away
That couldn't be helped The face of the young limpse of just now, it was coic state
The news announcer was speaking about this abnor whether the cause was a new virus, or else a drug
「But, but teacher How can that went outside…… In the first place the only one who know about that's existence are only us……even though the data and the deposited part are scattered and ed strictly yet」
Eled Hearing that, the truth that the members of the laboratory tried to not think about reared its head
――【H3-α4】
That was the name of the byproduct medicine that was created by accident from Emily's research
Emily's research was to create a specific medicine for Alzhei Erandmother little by little, she was the reason that Ee of eleven years old, it was a problem in the territory that a lot of researchers hadn't reached yet, and it was also the life work of Emily
That research which obtained the cooperation of Professor Down and Hendricks and co ere research student was soeneration of destroyed neuron It was also a path that a lot of researchers in the past had tried their hand on it
What was born from that research process was【H3-α4】 If it was used, enerate repeatedly and swelled up in the blink of eye, every kind of external injury would instantly recover due to the cells' super activity
Of course it had dethening, the user would lose their reasoning and life If soht hold out for around a week until ten days, but in the case someone was injected until it was just barely the li unable to endure too drastic stie of obtaining regeneration power that couldn't be coht that theya wonder drug after witnessing the dra the lab rats transfor able to stop the too drastic stihly hid this drug as soerous
They dispersed the data, disguised even the chemicals used, deposited each data at different places, and put them under strict control
Therefore, it should be impossible for the medicine to be stolen Because In the first place the people who knew about the existence of【H3-α4】were only the ht now, except several people who couldn't assemble here because they couldn't immediately couys should know about the news right? Why aren't they couys――」
「Stop that Rod We cannot doubt our friend in this kind of time」
