A restaurant is a place where people do not come except at certain times.

Access is strictly controlled by Android, and given the situation, it is easy for people to be misunderstood if they enter and exit at odd times.

A quiet place where no one comes.

The smell of food remains, so it’s a little bit bad, but it’s not too bad environmentally if you wait until the room is automatically ventilated.

thus.

“It’s a perfect environment for teaching.”

If you use the cafeteria bulletin board as a blackboard and the dining table as a desk, it becomes a temporary classroom.

“I’m sorry if you’re wondering why I’m taking classes in a place like this. Because I am an instructor and you are a student.”

“Well, I’m fine!”

Lavender, who was sitting in the front, raised one hand and responded to my words.

“Originally, this is field experiential learning! I don’t think it’s strange that there is schooling and education in the middle!”

“Thank you for trying to brighten the mood. There are still 5 minutes left in class.”

“Oh.”

“If you want to attend class 5 minutes in advance, that’s fine, but-”

“Well, that’s all…hehe.”

Even if you are an honor student, there is a problem with starting early, as long as you finish your scheduled classes early.

If there are people who like to start class early, it’s only people who are perverts or who make money from class time.

And the students will curse at you, calling you a ‘crazy instructor who starts class during break time.’

“Fortunately, the instructor I saw had no intention of doing that. Appointment time is important, and more than anything, not all students are seated yet before class starts.”

“…….”

“Why are you so embarrassed? There are now 4 minutes left before class starts.”

In the cafeteria, or rather the temporary classroom, there is only one other person, Lavender, other than the androids.

[I have one too.]

“Shouldn’t instructor Aria take a break? No, I think I’m at the bridge now.”

[I can’t go to the restaurant because I’m temporarily backing up the operator, but I can at least listen to the lecture with the speakers on.]

“…Your enthusiasm is high. I hope it can be a good peer evaluation.”

[From my perspective, I feel like I have returned to being a student.]

“Wow.”

Lavender puffs out her cheeks and shows her dissatisfaction.

If you take the class alone, you can freely ask questions, but it might be a bit uncomfortable to have Aria listening next to you, even in tablet form.

“A long-awaited 1:1 class with an instructor…”

He seemed upset enough to express it out loud, but I didn’t bother to point it out.

because.

“Lavender.”

“Yes, yes?!”

“Unfortunately, it seems you are not the only one who wants to take the class.”

Just now, a new person appeared outside the restaurant.

“You can come in, boy.”

“Cow, not a boy.”

The person who entered through the already open restaurant door was none other than Green Camp’s A Team platoon leader, Andy.

“…Why did Andy come to the restaurant?”

Lavender showed a bit of hostility.

Rather than being hostile, it felt like a cat barking at a new animal in the house.

‘Do you hate hanging out with other people like that?’

bean.

“Ayaat?!”

“Why would you come to the restaurant? It’s not like I came here to get more food.”

“Ah, hahaha….”

Andy scratched his head and sat down slightly away from Lavender.

‘She is the sincere type.’

It’s because he came wearing the academy uniform as part of his attire, because he brought all his writing utensils, and because he sits facing me with a straight posture.

‘It would be too harsh of a response to her to think, ‘Why couldn’t she embrace Lavender?’

Because I was sincere, I couldn’t embrace Lavender.

Because he had to pay attention to other platoon members, Andy showed an ambiguous attitude toward Lavender, excluding her from being a member of the same platoon.

Of course, the fact that Lavender was ostracized even for a moment does not change.

If I had come a little earlier, that wouldn’t have happened, but if I was going to go through the same old process, I would have changed Lavender’s current problems to their extreme strengths and made it possible for the Special Forces to live without any major regrets.

…There may be some jealousy toward Ace, but that would be nothing compared to the grievances that have now formed within Green Camp.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“Yes, yes?”

“It’s not a big deal. Some may have come as a representative of Team A, and some may have come out of concern for my reputation. First of all, this education was ‘voluntary participation’.”

Before starting the lecture, I suggested that Team A participate as well.

It is left to the individual’s discretion, and it is okay if you come or not.

I have no intention of suggesting any disadvantages, and the fact that I am providing separate training during personal maintenance time is in some ways like me doing something crazy.

” Please organize it well and pass it on to Team A. No, is telling this story too burdensome for you?”

“Oh, no!”

“Do whatever you like. This is not a story about the mindset or training that a pilot must have, but rather an empirical theory about the ether.”

“…….”

“Okay. Perhaps, if I had offered to teach you how to operate the mechanics as a pilot, all four of you would have come…no, at least two more would have come.”

Even if one person wants to come, it is difficult to come now.

Even if he had the presence of mind to come, he wouldn’t want to take the lecture because he hates me and Lavender.

“It’s just the right time. Then let’s get started right away. What I will teach you today is about the ether bus, 12 infinite energy resources that were also called ‘Generation Stones’ on Earth in the past.”

I set the electronic TV to a blackboard and then simply drew 12 blocks using an electronic marker.

“The 12 ethers that fell to Earth in the beginning were alien substances. However, these have now been replaced by 12 gems that originally existed on Earth, including garnets, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds. Do you know what these 12 jewels are called? Lavender?”

“Well, they are classified as ‘birthstones’.”

“That’s right. So question. Why is a ‘substance with a self’ from extraterrestrial origin called a birthstone?”

“…….”

The two students close their mouths.

Although they cannot make eye contact with each other, they want to use the tablet to search on the network right away.

impossible.

We’re traveling outside the solar system, and if we want to access the space internet, we have to get at least close to a colony.

This is something you wouldn’t know if you hadn’t studied before.

And even if it was studied, it is so minor that it is not widely known.

“It is said that the place where the 12 ethers first appeared was in the middle of New York, but it is said that the reason the Genesis Stones took on their respective appearances was because they stopped by a certain jewelry store.”

“Jeweler…?”

“Okay. I stopped by a jewelry store, and they happened to be selling a set of 12 birthstones each stored in a jewelry box. Each of the 12 ether buses has chosen a gem with a molecular structure that they like as their own.”

I wrote the word ‘replication’ in large letters in the center of the 12 circles.

“Replication of molecular structure. Each of these self-contained alien substances has infinite energy, and can use that energy to self-replicate, while at the same time replicating other things. Although it is limited to minerals.”

“Well, I have a question.”

Andy raised his hand.

“Did the Genesis Stones become the Creation Trees and change their appearance after seeing the beasts on Earth?”

“That’s accurate. It has become a moving jewel in the same form as the animals and plants on Earth, but over time it has become a mecca that jumps through space.”

“Ah….”

“This is close to a kind of history, but-”

Write it as Yasa.

“Almost 200 years have passed since the Ether Bus fell on Earth, and they have seen many different forms, but it is said that the form of the ‘Mecha’ that changed first after it fell on Earth was a plastic model.”

“A plastic model…?”

“Okay. A robot plastic model that appeared in animations at the time. The ether buses replicated robots that were difficult to implement with human technology in a small form, enlarged them, and humanity studied them, which was the basis of the current mecha industry.”

“…….”

If I tell this story about the origins of mechanical companies, the company presidents will immediately try to grab my neck, saying that it will ‘damage the brand image’, but I clearly say that it is ‘a waste of time’.

“Anyway, the ether bus has the power of replication. The ether, which can be said to be at the lower level, also has the power of replication. It is possible to generate strength from ether itself, but it can also be turned into water or steel, and so on.”

“Indeed…. The water in the ether glacier is ether replicating water. ”

“That’s right. And the etheric bus, which is at the top of the power of replication, has god-like power in the universal century, to give just an example…”

What would be a good example of how to talk appropriately?

“If we say that there is a miracle that the ether bus can bring about in relation to our situation.”

Of course, that would be good.

“The ether bus can make infinite bread.”

“…Yes?”

“I’m not kidding. This means that you can change the atomic structure of ether into the form of food you recognize.”

With the Ether Bus, the food problem can be solved right away.

“Of course, it is closer to a raw material than a cooked food, but wouldn’t it be a miracle if we could infinitely supply primary ingredients such as bread or ham before cooking?”

“Is that really true…?”

“Okay. …Lavender, why are you doing that?”

“Oh, no, that.”

Lavender hesitated.

“…If Fenrir exists, what can he make?”

He asked me a random question.
