Chapter 645 – Research and Achievements

000

The transformed Schrödinger looked completely humanoid.

However, of course, it inherited the characteristics of the doll days, and the magic stone, which was the core of the Homunculus era, was embedded in the right upper part of the chest bone, which was a small size like a small rice bowl turned upside down – in other words, the part between the collarbones.

Although it was a considerable risk for his own weakness to be exposed to the outside world, his sharp senses and feather-light body, which had become like a real cat, protected Schrödinger from such an attack.

“What. Except for the fact that her body has become a woman, it is undoubtedly a fairly strong body.”

Wh-no, as she said that, she quickly sliced ​​up two evolutions with her long fingernails, turning them into chunks of meat, then brushed her hands off the blood that was on them.

“The doll turned into a girl…”

Aisha looks up at Schrödinger, who took the matchless shot right in front of her eyes with her bewildered expression.

And then, when her gaze goes down, she is talking while looking at her naked with her white porcelain-like skin no matter where she looks.

“Why naked!?”

“That’s because I didn’t have any clothes… Well, I won’t be able to get on top of your head if this happens. Compared to the body, the wings are too small, so you won’t be able to fly.”

Schrödinger, who looked kissy and smiling, shrunk his long toenails to a normal size while wearing a mischievous smile that he had shown even when he was a doll.

Looking at her appearance, Aisha should say that she is quite nervous, or she sends a worried glare.

“Oh, don’t make that face. I didn’t want to be like this either. Ha! I wish I was as tall and muscular as you…”

She said that while she looked down at her breasts and ass and whined.

“Rather than that, isn’t it strange that a cat doll becomes a cat beast? The end point of evolution is not the humanoid. That’s right, I’d be able to change in some bizarre direction like those evolutionary beasts lying there… Or, even if it were to look like a sleek cougar, there would have been plenty of possibilities. If you do this, even your enemies will look down on you.”

“Ugh, uh. But Mr. Doll… No, he’s not Mr. Doll anymore. I know Schrödinger is strong… He sliced ​​up monsters like that with his bare hands.”

“Right? Well, I’m satisfied with that part. Stupid Granny Darwin… There’s no way she wouldn’t know that I know about the evolutionary leap. If so, I forgot about it due to senility.”

Schrödinger covers his mouth once more and smiles kissily.

It seemed that he had already adapted to his body, since the black tail growing on his buttocks was gently moving, and he was acting like a cat beastman even without being aware of it.

After looking at Schrödinger for a while, Aisha looked around her and didn’t find any suitable clothes, so she took off her outer clothes and handed them to her.

It wasn’t enough to cover the whole body, but since it was a top with a cloth that came down to the thighs, if you put it on and tie it around the waist, you should be able to cover most of the important parts.

If I moved even a little violently, all of the bare skin underneath was exposed, but up to that point, it was the kind that couldn’t be helped with what I had now.

“Is this clothing? I didn’t know why humans wore pieces of cloth on their bodies… Echwi! Ugh… Is this cold…”

“Ah… It’s because I sweat.”

There was no problem with moving her body, but in terms of the sensibility, perhaps it was close to the consciousness she had when she was still a doll, and now that she had lost her fur, she felt the cold even though there was no resistance to exposing her bare skin.

“Uh, anyway. People will stare at you if you walk outside like that…”

“It’s inside, not outside, but… Well, that’s it too. In any case, with this body, it would be easy to defeat those evolutionary numbers. Escape from the basement has become easier.”

Placing his hands on both hips and stretching his chest, he seemed to be positively accepting the change in combat power.

“But if he is spying on us, he might come in another way. Let’s move without being vigilant.”

Watching Aisha say that while clenching her fists, Schrödinger nodded.

“I feel like I’ve brushed off something. After all, is it the cause of learning Darwin’s nature?”

“Yeah… But thanks to Schrödinger, I have a goal.”

As Aisha says so, she strengthens her will by recalling the people she saw earlier who were attributed to her own blood, and Darwin, who treated it as her own work.

“Deceiving me and turning people into nobles… I will hold you accountable for all those actions. As you said, I will definitely pay you back.”

001

Schrödinger, who left the remains of the evolutionary numbers behind and came out of the hiding room, looked around while sniffing his nose.

Thanks to his human form, his senses have become sharper than when he was a doll, and he draws a new passage in his head for the underground facility that remains in his memory.

“Then, I’m going to go all the way from here to the exit, right? Miss.”

“Huh. I was able to get enough rest. I think I’m more motivated than before.”

“That’s good. This way.”

Laughing lightly at Aisha’s answer, Schrödinger took her one step in the lead, leading her to walk down her white aisle.

“…”

And the silence that followed.

Schrödinger, who was a puppet like earlier, would not have created this silence by pulling his hair or giving verbal directions to guide him.

Now that he’s able to walk in front of himself, he doesn’t have to anymore, so he just walks in stride, maintaining proper spacing.

As a result, what naturally caught my eye was Schrödinger’s back, with his buttocks slightly visible under his coat that was fluttering every time he walked right in front of him.

Not really, I didn’t feel sexual arousal there, but I couldn’t help but be concerned.

‘Schrodinger… He has a good style… He’s shorter than me, but he has long legs and arms… His skin is smooth… He was really a doll a while ago…?’

As she went through a series of events and passed her death crisis, Aisha followed her blankly for a while as the coolness slowly returned to her head.

Suddenly, you stop walking.

And she must be saying that with her eyes wide open and pointing at Schrödinger.

“Eh, did the doll become a human!?”

“Wow, I’m surprised…”

Schrödinger stops her steps and turns her head as Aisha suddenly hears a loud scream behind her.

“…Now?”

When Schrödinger looked at her Aisha as if she was tackling her very quickly, Aisha wondered if her own hair had gone wrong, and she raised her hand as it was and held her head. Catch

“No, because she suddenly became a person and appeared and saved me because the situation was the situation…! But if you think about it, isn’t it strange!?”

“Well… If it’s strange, it’s strange. Because that’s what the leap of evolution is.”

“What is the elixir of evolution?!”

Should I explain it from there… Schrödinger, who had the same expression, sighed as if he couldn’t help it, but started moving his feet again while wiggling his hands as if to tell him to follow him as he moved.

“The elixir of evolution is a liquid that forcibly strengthens, grows, and fuses what it touches. Produced by Darwin. That’s why she is called the sage in charge of ‘evolution’ from her regressor, that’s why.”

“Enhancement, growth… If you strengthen and grow a doll, does it become a human…?”

When Aisha pointed it out with a confused expression as if she didn’t know, she reacted with ‘Ugh…’ Because even Schrödinger himself didn’t have a proper answer.

“I don’t know much about the principle. Darwin had never explained anything like that. Even the knowledge I know, I didn’t tell it directly to me, I just overheard her talking to the maker who made me… Maxwell, who was also a sage of regressors.”

“In other words, with the power of an unknown drug, he became human…”

“There is no law that says it has to be like this. Did you see the monsters that attacked us earlier that looked like a mixture of beast and metal? They are also synthetic water created through the leap of evolution. It must have been created by collecting several beasts and metals at once and pouring the elixir of evolution into them.”

Schrödinger succeeded in handling it, but it seemed to be moving according to biological instincts without a clear self, like a machine covered in animal skin.

If it had been merged into one in a living state, it might have been that there were several selves in it, trying to take over each other’s body.

“Then Schrödinger could have become like that…?”

“If you are unlucky. It could have become a gross figure that became one with the machines around it.”

Recalling Schrödinger, who had transformed into a grotesque form, Aisha shuddered as if she were getting goosebumps.

“As the drug was created by Darwin, who lived for hundreds of years, after spending his entire life researching, the effect is absolute. Well, in the process, I repeated an indescribably terrible experiment countless times, and made a huge number of victims…”

“…”

Darwin’s first priority is to make his medicine more perfect, and use it to transform human beings into new life forms of a higher level.

For such a cause, Schrödinger says, he thinks it doesn’t matter what he sacrifices.

“Why the hell, so far…”

“Well. Because the wise men of the regressor are all such people. Rather than human standards, give everything for a cause that is out of line. Maxwell threw the followers of the church he led into the rift of the second dimension. Because Darwin … Even used his own son as a material for evolution experiments.”

Schrödinger himself spoke as if he had no inspiration, but the story seemed to come as a bit more shocking to Aisha, who still remembered Darwin’s kindness to her (even if it was hypocritical).

“His own son…?”

“Okay. Even so, it must have been over a hundred years ago… Should I say that it is a story of a failed attempt to treat a son who was ill with an evolutionary elixir?”

According to Schrödinger’s story, Darwin took the elixir without even determining what disease his son had.

If it was his own medicine, it was the judgment that a person with any disease should evolve the body itself and change it into a body that can overcome the disease.

However, it would be better to say that her judgment brought about the exact opposite result.

After using the elixir, her son seemed to get better at first, and Darwin thought his experiment was a success.

However, for a while, the son’s body swelled to the point where there was no longer a human form left, as the terrible mass of flesh constantly multiplied and mutated, expanding endlessly.

“Is that also a side effect of the evolutionary leap?”

“Precisely, the problem must be that Darwin did not properly recognize the identity of the disease in his body. Elixir is just medicine. There is no will in medicine, so everything it touches changes. There are no exceptions to that.”

After Schrödinger said that, he took a deep breath before continuing his explanation to her.

“His disease was ‘cancer’. A disease in which a part of a cell in the body causes mutation, and when the cell proliferates and the mutation spreads to the place necessary for a person to live, it eventually leads to death.”

When the leap of evolution changed his body, it also affected the malignant tumors inside his body.

As a result, the growth of the tumor instantly increases its speed to an impossibility, and as if against it, his body increases the volume of his body in order to escape the vital organs from the aftermath of the proliferation.

As a result of this repeated endlessly, his son acquired both a body that regenerates forever and a body that necrosis due to the proliferation of tumors forever.

“No weapon, magic, or poison can kill him. He has become a being who has to live while feeling pain, repeating necrosis and regeneration due to the disease forever.”

“…”

Aisha shut her mouth, unable to ask the story behind it any longer, at the horrific story she could only imagine.

“After that, all I heard was that he made a drug that reversed the evolution opposite to his research and degenerated in the opposite way… But it didn’t work for his son who had already finished the mutation. Maybe, it still remains somewhere in this facility.”

“Yes. Okay. Let’s stop talking scary…”

At Aisha’s words, Schrödinger let out a dry laugh and proceeded to move freely through the long and complicated passageway.

“Where is the end of this aisle headed?”

“There is a secret entrance that is used to carry materials needed for research without being noticed by people. It leads directly to the underground facility, so it is not used above ground. I heard that one of the sages, an inspiration from an aristocratic family from the East, used the same techniques used to build his mansion and made it into a passage leading to the sea.”

It was also used when Schrödinger was abandoned by Maxwell and sold along with other relics, so I still remember it.

I can’t say it’s a very good memory, and I was eager to deny reality at the time, but…

“Bar, the sea…? So you have to swim out? I can’t swim…”

“No. Don’t worry it’s not The way out is properly blocked with tempered glass, so water won’t leak in. At the end, you can go outside through the elevator. Of course, Darwin’s interference will come somewhere before that.”

Schrödinger, Darwin did nothing to walk like this now, he judged that he could not stop them to the extent that he could evolve, and he expected that he would think of another way.

And the fact that their predictions were not wrong was discovered when the two arrived at the entrance to the mansion’s underground facility.

“Darwin…”

When I opened the bulkhead of the large machine and went inside, I saw Darwin, wrapped in bandages, standing with a mysterious iron coffin next to him.

If there was a difference from the girl who appeared in her room, it was that her body was there instead of an illusion made of blue light.

“Under. Will appear in person I thought Grandma didn’t come out directly to the wire because of her back pain.”

Schrödinger again taunts Darwin and pulls out his fingernails.

Aisha, too, seems to have hardened her heart now, taking out her hammer and holding her posture.

Then Darwin spoke to Schrödinger, raising his hand to his face, in a voice like the admonishment of an ill-mannered child.

“Why don’t you give a little thanks? Thanks to my elixir, I got such a wonderful body. Well… I can’t say for sure how long that body can hold out. And the past of people… I guess it’s only natural that you, who lack delicacy, were abandoned by Maxwell.”

“…”

Schrödinger didn’t say anything to Darwin’s words, but with his ears and tail stiffened, he was ready to attack right away.

“I won’t hesitate if you block me.”

“A cheeky bitch… What the hell can a stupid bitch who doesn’t even know how to use her powers properly and who relies on Schrödinger to protect her?”

At Aisha’s words, Darwin untied the bandages around his body as he spoke in anger.

Then, the exact opposite of what Schrödinger expected will be revealed there.

Darwin thought that wearing such a bandage was obviously to hide his old self.

Through her medicine, she was able to briefly return to her younger self, but even that was not always available.

However, her skin underneath had a smooth skin with not a single wrinkle to be found, and her age had returned to the appearance of her early twenties.

When she was living at the academy, her beauty was close to her prime when there were forces following her beauty.

However, if there is a difference between then and now-

Two small horns sprouted from the forehead.

The roots were flesh-colored, but the tips were red.

Her hair, too, had become a dark pink color, different from its original color, and came down long below her waist when the bandages came off.

“Your Majesty…!? You can’t help but get her blood too…!”

At Schrödinger’s words, Aisha was convinced of the identity of what she had seen, and her face turned pale.

“The reason I was wearing a bandage was just to hide my horns and face. Because I showed my face to the troublesome guy. Well, obtaining this body was not part of my plan. I had no choice but to recover from the burnt skin all over my body from being struck by lightning.”

Saying that, the magical pressure radiating from her body was strong enough to easily overwhelm them, compared to the nobles who run amok in madness.

Seeing Schrödinger sweating in a cold sweat, slightly suppressed by that spirit, Darwin laughs as if he is in a good mood.

“Whoa… Ahahahaha!! Her completely misguided expression… Stupid Doll Schrödinger. There is no such thing as a ‘chance of victory’ for you. All you have is the result of dying in this dark, cold steel box.”

“…It’s okay, Schrödinger. If the opponent is a noble, I am also a noble… If it’s 2:1, I can do anything.”

“—That’s right! After all, your power is a clone cloned from Aisha’s blood—”

“2:1? Don’t you think that’s too cowardly?”

After coming to his senses at Aisha’s words, Schrödinger shouts as if encouraging himself.

However, as if to interrupt Schrödinger’s words, she presses the button on the iron coffin standing right next to her.

Then – it clicked. When the lid opened on its own with a clicking sound, a thick mist of steam gushed out along with a blue liquid flowing from the inside.

And, tumble, tumble.

Stepping out from inside was a girl with an expressionless face covered in a tight black suit.

Her golden hair was tied in two pigtails, and her blue eyes were half open.

Holding a sword with a mechanical device in her hand, she stood blankly, staring at Aisha and Schrödinger, like a golem waiting for her orders.

“No way, another test subject…?”

“Oh. Haven’t you seen it before? Well, it’s a ‘different entity’ from the one in the room you entered. This one was made a little while ago, and its performance is inferior. Among the guys who can move now, they are the most usable type.”

Darwin reached her, twitching the corners of her mouth, reached out her own hand, and placed it on the back of her head.

Then, she flinched, and as she fell off her body, she stopped breathing as well.

Darwin was unfazed, as if her condition was what she intended, and she spewed the words out of her mouth at high speed.

“Set. Load the data of the 262nd attack test. Set risk level C… No, B.”

“Command received. Synchronization of the external magic engine begins. Activation…”

After Darwin’s words, she moves her body, which squeaks like a wooden doll, and holds the sword of her mechanism in her hand with both hands, poised.

Then, golden holy magic began to flow from her sword, dyeing the sword.

“Pseudo-sex sword works normally. Alban Beta. Enemy annihilation begins.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure, which she thought had disappeared on the spot, was pursued by Schrödinger and Aisha simultaneously lifting her head toward the ceiling.

There, there was a blonde-haired girl who was stabbing the sword at them with her sword raised with an expressionless expression.
