Then, hesitantly, he said, "Just now... when you met the conditions for clearing the level..."

"Mr. Village has taken over control of the game."

In other words, Noah's Ark's illegal intrusion into the game has been stopped by the village.

If Yoruichi and the others hadn't taken any action and had only stalled for time, they might have been able to get through smoothly.

However, none of them have that kind of temper.

"Then why are we still here?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"Because I asked Mr. Yumura to let me talk to you for a few more minutes."

Noah's Ark, which had been arrogant all along and had been rendered speechless by these people, was now acting very sincerely.

“I admit that I shouldn’t have forced you to make choices that would hurt your friends.”

“Hiroki certainly wouldn’t want to see that kind of thing happen either.”

"I can admit defeat, but I want to know why I failed."

Where did I go wrong?

No time has artificial intelligence, created by humans, been more eager for answers.

It is also an opportunity to evolve.

Although no name was mentioned, this question should obviously be answered by Yoruichi Toyama, who has been talking to it the most.

"I think you've got one thing wrong."

"You said you wanted to defeat us, a group of people representing the privileged class and social elites."

"But this proves nothing."

"Because the creator you represent, Hiroki, also received an elite education, and he is also a member of the elite."

“I can understand your sympathy for ordinary people and your abhorrence of the unfair distribution of social resources.”

"But you should know that what hurt Hiroki was precisely the education system aimed at the general public."

“We can say that this system has many drawbacks, especially in that it cannot satisfy gifted children like Hiroki.”

"Ordinary school education is too rigid, focusing only on imparting knowledge while neglecting the individual education of children."

"But have you ever considered that it's also the fairest resource that ordinary people can obtain?"

"If we only advocate personalized education and elite education, then many children will lose the opportunity to receive education because their families cannot afford it."

"That would lead to a more severe division and solidification of social classes, and the privileged people you vehemently condemn who occupy social resources will never be eliminated."

Noah's Ark listened quietly until the very end, when it finally hummed in agreement.

"Thank you, Mr. Toyama. These insights are things I've never heard of while browsing the internet."

"Then you're using the wrong internet, aren't you?" Yoruichi thought to himself.

Considering that Noah's Ark was sent from the United States to Japan by Hiroki, it is estimated that it is most frequently seen on websites in these two places.

You're already a good kid for not learning militarism and hegemonism.

Considering that everyone present was Japanese, Yoruichi Toyama smiled and didn't say anything too extreme.

"Thank you too, Mr. Akechi. You showed me what kind of sacrifices a person can make for their comrades."

"And... Mr. Kudo, Mr. Hakuba, and Mr. Hattori, you must be good friends, right?"

...Who? Me and that pretentious international student?

...You must be mistaken. Who's friends with someone who acts so recklessly?

In order not to spoil the atmosphere, Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Saguru each swallowed their complaints and barely managed to remain calm.

Noah's Ark, able to see their expressions, smiled gently.

“I… I should say Hiroki, I’ve never made any friends before.”

"Thank you for letting me know what it's like to be friends."

"It seems I still have a lot to learn..."

"Then let's say goodbye."

Its voice carried a hint of regret, but it wasn't without satisfaction.

"Congratulations, player, you have successfully completed the level and are about to exit the game..."

"We look forward to your participation next time."

The lights in the hall went out instantly, and everyone was plunged into darkness.

...

Yoruichi Toyama opened her eyes from the backup gaming pod. The pod door slowly opened, and she saw Tadahiro Toyama's anxious face.

"Mr. Toyama, are you alright? I'm sorry, I might have been a little late..."

With his help, Yoruichi Toyama removed the sensors and stepped out of the cockpit.

Another game pod next to it also happened to be turned on.

"Mr. Akechi!" He asked before he could even stand up, "How are the others?"

"All the players in the venue are safe and sound," the village replied immediately.

"Noah's Ark said they wanted to talk to you, so we had our staff lead everyone to evacuate first."

"evacuation?"

Yoru Toyama was stunned for a moment, then felt a violent shaking from the ground.

...

The earth seemed to be fitted with some kind of machine, first rumbling and then shaking from side to side.

Wearing high heels, Vermouth had to crouch down temporarily, dodging any glasses or bottles that might fall from the bar.

An earthquake...?

This is nothing new in the Okinawa Islands.

However, if the magnitude is relatively high...

Between the tremors, Vermouth stood up and gazed at the blue sea outside the viewing window.

Far, far away, a thin white line caught her attention.

She turned and ran without hesitation.

...

As expected, the people in the hotel had already been evacuated outdoors. When Akechi and Yoruichi Toyama ran out with the village, the corridor was deserted.
