Ch.416[Episode 416] Easter Egg Area 51
by fnovelpia
Sir Dominic continued to fall downward.
He didn’t know how long he had been falling, but for some reason, Sir Dominic recalled memories from the past.
Memories of Glitch Burg, to be precise.
“Could I be heading to Glitch Burg again this time?”
Sir Dominic wondered, tilting his head.
After falling for quite some time longer, Sir Dominic finally landed somewhere.
“It’s bright.”
Sir Dominic immediately looked around after landing.
Unlike the darkness of Glitch Burg, this place was extremely bright.
So bright that it was hard to believe he had fallen so far down.
Sir Dominic suddenly felt something strange in the sky above.
When Sir Dominic looked up, he saw what appeared to be the space station where he had been standing moments ago.
And below it extended a long metal tube, through which Sir Dominic had apparently fallen to this place.
“So this means I’m still in Area 12…”
Sir Dominic thought, stroking his chin.
It seemed that Sir Dominic had gotten involved in something strange again.
“Well, I should find a way out of here first.”
Sir Dominic looked around with a calm expression, as if such occurrences no longer surprised him.
He was hoping to find something that might be of help.
“Who are you?”
A voice came from behind Sir Dominic.
Sir Dominic suddenly thought the voice resembled the mooing of a cow.
Despite being distracted by exploring his surroundings, Sir Dominic was startled that someone had approached him from behind. He drew his sword and shield and turned around.
And Sir Dominic was doubly surprised.
Behind him was indeed a cow.
A cow wearing a suit and walking on two legs!
“W-what’s the matter?”
The suited cow raised both hands in surprise and blinked its innocent-looking eyes.
As the cow raised its hands, Sir Dominic noticed it was holding a lunchbox with a sickle and hammer drawn in crayon on it, along with the phrase ‘There is no Moscow level.’
Sir Dominic, seeing that the cow showed no signs of aggression, slowly lowered his weapons.
The cow exhaled in relief with a frightened expression and muttered.
“I almost got shipped out with an A++ mark.”
After sighing in relief, the cow asked Sir Dominic about his identity once more.
“What exactly are you?”
Sir Dominic realized from the cow’s earlier behavior that it had no intention of attacking.
Since it wasn’t hostile toward him, Sir Dominic had no reason to be hostile toward the cow.
“I am Sir Dominic of Feralant.”
“Sir Dominic of Feralant? That sounds like a foreign name, so are you Dominic of Sir Feralant?”
The cow tilted its head, wondering if “Sir” was a surname.
“No, it means I hold a knightly title.”
“Ah. Are you British?”
The cow nodded as it spoke.
“Looking at your white appearance, you certainly seem like someone from England… No, wait, Feralant sounds like a German pronunciation? I’m not sure…”
The cow tilted its head, pondering.
“Now it’s my turn to ask. Where is this place, and who are you?”
Sir Dominic asked the cow about its identity.
And about this place as well.
“This is a place called Area 51. And I am… well. You can call me Lunch-Eating Cow.”
The suited cow said.
“I don’t know why I was created. I’m not sure why our Creator made us… but I need to eat lunch.”
After saying this, the suited cow sat down on a nearby bench and opened its lunchbox.
Inside was a pile of hay sautéed in tomato sauce, which the cow began slurping up with chopsticks as if eating pasta.
“…This is madness.”
Just then.
From far away, a dog riding a unicorn that was spraying rainbow-colored aurora appeared, urgently approaching the cow.
Sir Dominic noticed that the dog had yellow fur, and its overall appearance seemed like a mixed breed, all jumbled together.
Anyway, the yellow-furred dog wore a turban on its head and held a golden cup in one hand and a golden scepter in the other. The dog began urgently telling something to the cow.
“Hey! Why are you so relaxed? Today’s the day new characters come out! And they say we need to draw human rights characters!”
“Ah, right.”
“What do you mean ‘Ah, right’?! Hurry up! Is your gun loaded?”
“Of moo-course.”
The cow suddenly reached into its pocket and pulled out a pistol.
Then it fired a shot into the air to confirm it was loaded.
The bang! echoed throughout Area 51.
“Ah, I’m sorry for suddenly firing. You must have been startled, right?”
The cow looked anxiously at Sir Dominic.
“It’s fine.”
Sir Dominic, still recognizing that the cow had no hostile intent, assured it that everything was alright.
The cow sighed in relief, then checked its watch and asked Sir Dominic for understanding.
“I’m sorry. It seems I need to go now. It was nice talking to you.”
“Hurry up!”
With that, the cow disappeared somewhere with the dog.
“By the way, will there be novels too?”
“Yes. There will be novels you like too, so let’s go right now! Oh. You come along too, friend!”
The dog took along a pig wearing a pearl necklace as it passed by.
“Hmm…”
Sir Dominic was bewildered by this chaotic world.
What was this place for, and what purpose was it created for?
“Excuse me…”
Just then, Sir Dominic heard someone else speaking to him from behind.
No, it wasn’t a voice.
Along with a static feeling, it was dialogue written in white text on a black background.
Sir Dominic was not accustomed to this type of communication and was startled.
“I’m sorry, but could you look behind you?”
Sir Dominic turned his head to see who was calling him.
“Am I… pretty?”
Sir Dominic looked at the face of the being behind him.
And surprisingly, Sir Dominic lost consciousness.
Sir Dominic had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.
From a narrative standpoint, I can’t explain in detail, but it was roughly a character that violated copyright.
Something that looked like three large black circles…
…
“…Huh?”
Sir Dominic regained consciousness only after night had fallen.
It was because he had seen something he shouldn’t have.
It was fortunate that Sir Dominic had strong mental fortitude; if someone else had seen it, they might have had their mind collapse and been expelled from Gacharland right there.
“Hey friend, you’re awake.”
“Hmm?”
“Would you like a sandwich?”
Sir Dominic looked toward the source of the voice.
There was a man with a gallant demeanor wearing a safety helmet, and judging by his worn work clothes and various tools, he appeared to be an engineer.
The engineer was strumming a guitar by a campfire and offered Sir Dominic a sandwich. Sir Dominic looked at the sandwich for a moment, then shook his head.
“I’m fine.”
“Really? Hmm. I see. Well then, I’ll eat it myself.”
The engineer said as he deliciously ate the sandwich topped with olives.
Then he started strumming his guitar again.
Sir Dominic listened to his guitar playing for a while, then suddenly noticed something hard behind him.
When Sir Dominic checked, it was a turret with terrifying weapons attached, but fortunately, the turret wasn’t considering Sir Dominic as an enemy.
Sir Dominic stared blankly at the campfire, then asked the engineer a question.
“Where is this place?”
“Area 51. A place filled with the Creator’s desires.”
The engineer said, putting on black sunglasses.
Apparently, the campfire was too bright for his eyes.
One might wonder why he didn’t just turn his head away, but right now there were only Sir Dominic and the engineer here, and Sir Dominic, full of questions, couldn’t spare attention for such trivial matters.
“Creator?”
“I mean the coders.”
The engineer said as he started playing the guitar again.
Just then, with a beep-beep sound, the turret aimed somewhere.
And fired bullets, where someone wearing blue clothes lay fallen, bleeding red blood.
“Oh dear.”
The engineer observed a moment of silence for the dead.
“My condolences for daring to come here.”
After saying that, the engineer started playing the guitar again.
Sir Dominic looked at the dead person for a moment, then turned away after confirming that the corpse had disappeared.
It was just an ordinary Gacharland-style daily occurrence.
Instead, Sir Dominic decided to ask another question to solve his doubts.
It seemed this engineer knew a lot about this place.
“How do I get out of here?”
“A way out? Hmm.”
The engineer thought for a moment, then pointed to a location.
“I’m not sure, but everyone who wanted to leave this place went that way.”
The engineer pointed his finger toward a blue sea.
Sir Dominic turned his head to look at the sea for a moment, then stood up.
“Thank you.”
He wanted to leave this place immediately.
To be precise, he wanted to escape this insane place.
Sir Dominic headed toward the sea as if fleeing.
“May fortune be with you.”
The engineer said as he watched Sir Dominic walking away in the distance.
Meanwhile, the engineer’s turret eliminated several more people wearing blue clothes.
It was a beautiful night with the flickering of the campfire and the twinkling of the stars.
