Chapter 116

MILE CHAPTER 116: TROUBLE

Ever since Mile came back from the ruins, Mile was in trouble .

(Mile’s inner thought for the whole chapter)

I wonder what I should do now .

That drawing in the ruins . It’s probably a illustration of the 『Lost civilization』that God was talking about .

I don’t know why the Ancient Dragon Race began their investigation of the ruins now .

Do they want to study history?

Do the Ancient Dragons have a predisposition to studying the history of human beings, and the history of that civilization which existed in the past?

Are they really studying archeology and history?

And it’s not just 1 or 2 Dragons doing archeology as their favorite things . But their whole clan or race .

They won’t get any benefit and it also wasn’t their history …

And if what they want to do are archeology and history, that picture should be valuable material .

At least, it’s not a bad thing to ignore and conclude it as a 『Miss』

Then, what is their real intention?

Why did the Ancient Dragon Race want to investigate ruins in various places?

They also even involved the Beastkin race and Devil race .

Gold, silver, gems, treasure, … ?

…But did the whole Ancient Dragon race investigate ruins for such things?

Well, in many of Earth’s stories, many people think Dragons love treasure and shiny thing .

However, in this world, I have never heard of such a story .

Perhaps in those stories on Earth, that setting was attached to raise the reason and motivation to beat the Dragon .

Ancient Dragons isn’t like a crow, that likes collecting shiny things and puts it in their nests …

Or in terms of humans on earth, one would be known as a『Treasure Hunter』, or to say it in a worse way, more like a 『Robber』

Well, in this world, because there wasn’t any owner or someone managing the ruins, it won’t be called 『Stealing』

Anyway, the Ancient Dragons weren’t aiming for treasure either .

So, if they weren’t interested in academic investigations or things that human regarded as treasure, what did the Ancient Dragons want?

…there’s only 1 reason left . That was the Relics .

It’s not about jewels or works of art, but rather something that can be used .

In other words, it’s a technical inheritance .

Such a relic may remain in a usable state if they are kept in a time suspension field or in a dimensional storage facility like my item box, etc .

The lost civilization was way more advance than the technical capabilities of earth, so whatever happened that destroyed that civilization, it’s not to be taken lightly .

But why do the Ancient Dragons look for such things?

Currently, the Ancient Dragon is said to be the strongest in the world, so why do they want such a thing?

Besides, the Ancient Dragon is a creature of their own pace, they won’t think about anything like world conquest .

I do not understand…

Relying on them too much isn’t good, but it can’t be helped . Let’s just ask them some question .

(Nano-chan?) (Mile)

『Yes!』 (Nano)

(Do you know the intention of the Ancient Dragons? ) (Mile)

『Yes』 (Nano)

(Ehh?) (Mile)

『But that’s a prohibited matter』 (Nano)

(Eh…?) (Mile)

Did Nano-chan refuse?

『We can read the most of any living creature by receiving the thought wave of that creature .

Though we can’t read everything in their minds .

Still, we can judge to some extent the intent of that creature .

Still we are only had attention about what was already put into words .

Regardless of our duties, that info will be upload to the network otherwise that said info will only remain in the memory of those nano-machines who heard it .

And if we are searching for that info from the network, we will be able to get the relevant information .

In this case, If I’m searching, I will get some sort of information from the other Nano-machines which are at the village of the Ancient Dragons .

However … 』(Nano)

(However? ) (Mile)

『We can only provide un-prohibited matter . And the info you want in this case is completely prohibited』 (Nano)

(Is this such a serious thing? ) (Mile)

『It does not matter whether it’s serious or not .

We aren’t allowed to reveal that kind of information .

Living beings have their right for discretion .

Sometimes those secret might affect the survival of the whole race .

Our mission is to fulfill the desires of the received thought wave .

Whether it belongs to a good person or a bad person .

And whether the content is good or bad .

We are only tools and we will not do anything with our own will .

Just like a kitchen knife can be used for cooking or for murder without the kitchen knife intention .

Anyway, we aren’t allowed to tell anyone about the information of any particular Race .

The result of simple magic such as checking the enemy’s position with detection magic, etc . will be another story, so there is no problem』(Nano)

(is that so…) (Mile)

With that explanation, I was satisfied .

That’s right . Otherwise, if an individual reaches level 3, they themselves can talk with Nano-chan .

That individual can easily get all the information about his enemies and allies, and he can easily conquer the world .

As expected, it won’t be easy .

There’s no choice but to check about it by myself .

(Thank you . See you later, I’ll think about myself) (Mile)

『I am sorry that I can’t help this time』 (Nano)

Well, what to do …

I have no obligation .

Regardless of what the Ancient Dragon is looking for, whatever it is supposed to be .

But somehow, I feel unpleasant .

Because it’s only me that understands the situation to some extent on the human side .

Or is it because only me that can compete against the Ancient Dragon?

But the Ancient Dragons didn’t seem to want conflict .

Because they didn’t want to be disturbed by humans, maybe they had an unexpected, peaceful intention .

Also, although I managed to compete against three Ancient Dragons this time, those three must be quite weak after all . A mid-rank Dragon, an apprentice and an Elder’s Daughter .

There’s no guarantee that next time we need to fight against the real warrior of the Ancient Dragon or all of the Ancient Dragons with beastkins and devil race as well .

Even though I am now involved in extraordinary things, I am only seeking happiness as an average girl . I feel rather confused with these events . With all my heart, I have finally made friends …

Also, the future of this world should be decided by the big shots in this world .

Handling this world’s problem with the knowledge from another world is a big no-no .

However .

『… For that reason, This world had been judged as a big failure, there’s no-one left to take care of it

…

…

We also feel a little responsible for it』 (God)

The God surely said so .

This is a world with great failure . No God looked after them, and everything was decided by this world inhabitants .

Even if this world is at stake, there will be no 『Salvation from God』
