Chapter 425: Raven PancakesWitch Listen While Reading: 曖昧ナ希望/氷雨 ----- Zero One and her sisters sprinted through the vast hall, heading straight for the hole that led to the fourth layer. “Hey! Who are you? Where did you come from?” One of the guards quickly spotted them. Three more joined him in pursuit. “They’re not professors or doctors from here!” “They infiltrated the facility?!” “Catch them!” Zero One glanced at her sisters in panic. “RUN!” The trio raced as fast as their legs could carry them across the enormous space, leaping over desks, tubes packed with cables, and strange pieces of unknown technology. Three guards became five, then more joined, spreading out to encircle them. “Dammit, are we going to get surrounded now?!” Zero Two asked. “We don’t have time for this!” “Hm, seems like we’ll have to use violence…” “It’s necessary.” The Zero Three twins, colder than their older sisters, had already begun weighing the option of force. “W-Wait! Don’t attack them! They’re humans! We cannot harm them!” Zero One stopped them. The girls found themselves unable to argue. As though an ancient protocol had activated, the very thought of hurting humans felt impossible. “We’ve got you surrounded!” “Please raise your hands!” “Don’t make this harder for us, girls.” “Who are you, though? Where did you come from?” “Are you spies from Neo Nex Company?” Zero One looked around at the closing circle, terror flooding her face. “W-We aren’t! We’re androids! We came here looking for a hole, and we’ll leave through it. Please, can you let us go?” “A-Androids?!” “No such thing exists yet, right?” “Yeah, even the first one ever made is still a work in progress…” “No, wait—didn’t the professor use some kind of technology like that with his daughter to help her survive?” “But that would be more like cyborg technology, right?” As the guards murmured among themselves, they edged closer, pulling out handcuffs to detain the girls. “WAAAAAIT!” Suddenly a small, clear voice rang through the hall. Professors, engineers, and doctors nearby turned in surprise. The guards followed the sound and saw an adorable little girl—no older than five—walking barefoot toward them. She wore only a simple white dress. Long, silky silvery-white hair framed her face, and her golden eyes shone despite her obvious frailty. She leaned heavily on a cane to walk; her body wrapped in several white cloths. She looked sickly, exhausted, yet her gaze still held a child’s pure innocence and brightness. “T-That’s…? The chief professor’s daughter?” “Lady Raven…?” “W-What’s wrong?” “Shouldn’t you be in your bed, Raven?” The girl stepped forward, placing herself between the guards and the androids, then offered them a gentle smile. Zero One stared in stunned silence. It was… It was overwhelming. She stood frozen, utterly shocked. “They’re my friends! Please don’t be rude to them! I invited them here. They’re… my online friends!” Raven said. “And this is… uh, my cousin! See? We look a lot alike!” “C-Cousin?” Zero One whispered, glancing at the tiny girl in disbelief. “I…!” “So that’s your cousin? She said she was an android, though…” “A-Ahahah, she was joking! We like to play!” “Uh…” “Okay, then…” “We’ll report this to the guard station, though.” The guards relaxed and stepped back. Raven turned to the android girls with a warm, curious smile. “Phew, that was close! It’s been a while since I’ve seen a new face! Where did you girls come from?” Raven quickly led them farther from the guards, her eyes sparkling with interest. “We come from…” Zero One hesitated, unsure what to say. “We…” “We come from the future,” Zero Two answered. “T-The future? Wow!” Raven exclaimed. “So you’re really androids?” “Yes…” “We are.” The Zero Three twins nodded, gazing at Raven with quiet tenderness. She was nothing more than a cluster of data, a fleeting echo of whom she had once been. And yet… Why did their cores ache so fiercely at the sight of her? This was… The last human, after all. The final survivor
