Chapter 85 – Huge Tree Screen
After following Usagi-san.
To a dome room inside the huge tree.
Stars reflect on the ceiling… no.
It’s a video.
A video starts playing just like on a cinema-like screen.
I lie down on the ground.
And watch the picture reflecting on the ceiling.
The video resembles a video I have watched in a science class in the old days.
・A picture of the universe.
・Countless stars.
・Brightly shining sun.
・Is that… Saturn?
・And that would be… Venus?
・A picture of planets flowing one by one.
・Before long, the focus switches on a single planet.
・The Red planet,「Mars」.
・Eventually, the surface of Mars reflects on the ceiling.
・I can see many large ditches.
・The mountains and valleys of Mars.
・Before long, the picture focuses on the ground.
・The red soil and sand are dancing.
・The time passes…
・Oh. Something is flying in the sky.
・A spaceship lands on Mars.
・An astronaut sticks a flag into the ground.
・Dodododo~ The astronaut immediately returns back to the spaceship and flies away.
・The flag on Mars’s surface flutters.
I stare blanky at the picture.
It’s somehow making me sleepy.
I might have felt the same way when I was watching the science class video.
I continue gazing at the video while lying on the ground.
・A spaceship has arrived again. It’s a bigger one this time.
・People start coming out one after another. They put down some kind of containers and build a house.
・The number of houses increase.
・A town was built inside a large dome.
・The people live inside the large dome. They seem to be farming.
・After a while, the number of large domes on Mars increase.
・They increase rapidly.
・Tubes are connecting the domes together.
・The domes and tubes cover Mars.

Are?
What?
The video suddenly stops.
Butsun!
Ah!
The video disappears and the room becomes dark.
While thinking what has happened.
I restlessly look around.
Nn?
Are?
It’s ridiculously dark.
It seems that even the mana’s light has disappeared.
It’s so dark I can’t see anything.
Uun.
First of all.
I must look for something that gives light.
The pitch-black darkness is making me uneasy.
Sutasuta Sutasuta
While walking in the darkness.
Ban
Uo!
A sudden noise and the light returns.
The soft and fluffy mana starts shining again.
But…
The projector in the middle of the room has vanished.
In addition.
I can’t see Usagi-san around.
The pink Usagi-san has disappeared.
Anre~
Where did you go?
Usagi-san.
Also the projector.
Did Usagi-san carry the projector out?
I look around the room, but there’s nothing.
This room is a dead-end.
There’s no hole Usagi-san could pass through.
Can’t be helped.
I decided to return back unwillingly.
Sutasuta Sutasuta
I leave the hole and step outside.
I feel like it was a long time since I was outside.
The night wind is tickling me.
I return back.
To the room I made inside the huge tree.
「Suu~ Suu~」
「Suu~ Suu~」
「Nyasu~n」
Ado, En-san and Chiko, everyone is asleep.
I enter my bed.
And unlike before, I fall asleep instantly.
