Chapter 25: Cocolia: You're Suspectly Too Radical
There were a lot of people getting crowned today.
Noldrei had also obtained a cheap plastic crown from a street vendor for 150 yen. It even had "Made In China" written on it.
This was the first gift he had received from a "primitive" since coming to the "ancient" times.
He had to treasure it and show it off to the humans of ten thousand years in the future.
Then, he would show it off in front of them, saying, "Didn't expect the emperor to live this long, huh?" Noldrei wanted to see the expressions of the primitives, full of hatred and helplessness.
Kiana, of course, had no idea what kind of abstract things Noldrei was thinking. She couldn't understand why the current humans didn't even have any strategic value.
But she also knew that Noldrei's body was incredibly powerful. He could basically produce anything he wanted himself. He wasn't the kind of person who was harmed by beauty or pleasure. If all future people were like this, then they would truly be moral saints among humans.
"You want a group of humans that meet your needs, humans that can move forward according to the future you envision?"
Cocolia understood what Noldrei meant.
"The current humans haven't even crossed the most basic stage. If they continue like this, they'll just repeat the mistakes of the past."
Noldrei frowned as he ate his food. The food didn't meet his standards of enjoyment.
Mei suggested, "I think you can totally become a teacher and pass on your knowledge to them. I think everyone would definitely be able to learn. Wouldn't that give you a lot of the talent you need?"
Raiden Mei thought of a better solution. She thought Noldrei becoming a teacher was actually the best solution.
"It's useless..." Noldrei explained helplessly, "I told you, what I want is a kind of human that thinks differently from the current humans. Otherwise, even if I teach the current humans those skills and knowledge, they'll only use them to serve their own needs. Similar situations have happened many times in history. History hasn't reached that stage yet, and humans don't understand that kind of pain. If they don't understand the pain, they won't understand the actions taken in the future to deal with that pain."
"..."
'Why do I feel like I don't understand what he's saying?'
Kiana suspected that she really should go back to school. If they continued to discuss things like this, she would definitely become more and more confused.
"I see..."
Raiden Mei didn't really understand what the future after nuclear radiation would be like. But from Noldrei's words, she could tell that they had given up their reproductive rights, their genes, and their freedom.
What kind of pain had future humans faced to be able to do that?
It was impossible for modern people to understand these actions. Not to mention others, even Raiden Mei herself couldn't accept it.
"Even if I teach them, they'll just think it's a story. People create their own history, so when people want to be conservative, even if you're a genius, you can't whip them forward. Besides, my purpose here isn't something that can be accomplished in a day or two. I'm fully prepared to wait for ten thousand years to act, so why should I be in such a hurry?"
'There's no point in saying that, isn't that just lying down?'
Bronya thought that by that time, she would already be buried in the ground. Why would she care about his "imperial ambitions"?
"Then isn't there anything fun in the future? There must be some fun things that can attract people, and let humans find their own ways to pursue happiness."
Kiana thought that instead of letting herself be the crown princess for ten thousand years, it would be better to urge Noldrei to rule the Earth and establish his ideal Earth empire sooner.
Noldrei didn't think there was anything fun in the ancient times. Did she want to start a pony orgy?
He lazily said, "Isn't there you? You can find a game that ancient people like, and then develop it yourself."
Kiana stared at him with wide eyes, wondering if this guy really wanted to be emperor.
How could there be someone who would hand over all the work to others?
Coincidentally, it was precisely because he handed over all the work to others that the emperor could sit back and relax as his own emperor.
"Why, why me?"
"The one who wants to change the course of the world isn't me, it's you. My method is simpler and more direct. You can try some less direct methods, maybe you'll succeed? You guys want me to teach a primitive..."
Noldrei looked at Kiana helplessly and said, "Look at her, she's the one I chose."
'Don't choose this woman!' *3
Cocolia couldn't help but complain. The most ridiculous thing she had felt during this time was that Noldrei had chosen Kiana instead of her.
Even if you were going to find a local to cooperate with, at least find someone a little smarter.
'The future of humanity is already hopeless.'
Bronya's eyes darkened a bit. She couldn't imagine the shocking scene of Kiana wielding power and using it recklessly.
"I don't know anything..."
Kiana seemed to have said something terrible. She was afraid that if she said something wrong, she would accidentally lose her so-called value to be ruled.
If even she, his counterpart, had lost her value to be ruled, then what hope was there for humanity?
The girl actually felt good about herself, completely unaware that two days of interaction had allowed the "three ponies" to see through her.
"If you don't know, then go find it yourself. Anyway, the people now don't have much of a crisis. You can find it whenever you want. If you're not happy, you can find some paternal or maternal primitives and have them reproduce your genetic life, too."
Pfft—!
Coco-Lia spat out a mouthful of wine. She felt like she had heard a description of something from Alien.
"Cough, cough... cough cough... I think it's better to consider this kind of thing carefully."
Bronya looked at her in surprise. She didn't expect Cocolia to be able to say something like that. Even a radical Anti-Entropy member thought Noldrei's behavior was too radical.
"I wouldn't do something like that. I'd rather go find pretty girls to cuddle with. Even turning into a handsome guy and picking up girls would be great."
Kiana had gotten used to Noldrei's habits. Suddenly hearing about this way of treating humans, even she had gotten used to it.
'Do you even hear what you're saying? You've already deviated far from the thinking of a normal person!'
Raiden Mei thought that Kiana's morals were gradually declining. This woman would start an orgy one day. Her stupid brain's pleasure system was still the same as a normal human's. Who knows when she would want to develop new ways to play?
'I have to stay away from her!'
Raiden Mei made up her mind. Although she had turned into Twilight Sparkle, at least Noldrei didn't have any special fetishes like tentacle monsters from those doujinshi.
Turning into a horse was just being ridden, which was still too kind compared to the treatment of a Taimanin franchise.
