Chapter 998 Running Around
Happy that she could be understood now, Stralit began to explain to Kisuke his current situation. Although it's something he already knew, Kisuke acted surprised.
"After the forced Language Transmission, you lost your consciousness for a very long time and your body functions have started degrading. Without much choice, we decided to put you into a life support module. Though before it could be fully activated, you suddenly woke up."
"Surprisingly, you're very energetic despite going through something like that." The short old Elf-like man interrupted while reading through Kisuke's medical report, "You've already recovered most of your vitality after greatly stressing it by your extended inactivity. What a strange creature you are."
Kisuke could confirm their words to be the truth, however, those aren't everything either. For one, they should have a way to detect the state of his Spiritual Power yet they didn't say anything about that. Second, there are multiple people currently watching the room from the outside, and lastly and the biggest thing, is the very tiny tracking device that's traveling through his blood vessels and using its movement to power itself.
If not for his constant monitoring and adjustment of this experimental body, he wouldn't have noticed this in any normal scenario, 'I want this thing.'
Naturally, he isn't angry or offended by how they did this since he would have done something way worse if he were in their shoes. In fact, they were way too lenient to him in his opinion, 'There could be more, but even with just this, I can take advantage of it.'
While the Etoulde and the Luxato were discussing his health, Kisuke started formulating a plan in his head. Right now, his main goal was to get their wormhole technology. But from how he saw things, if the one the Etouldes had was the same as the Evies, it should be quite easy to acquire since it wouldn't be as secure as a monopolized tech, 'The most I can get would probably be an incomplete blueprint since they won't be storing the security protocols for those holes anywhere near the frontlines.'
As for the minor objectives, he wanted to get the information on their maps and the range of their activities, culture, politics, overall war potential, and some other minor technologies that could prove useful.
A few seconds later, his train of thought was interrupted when Stralit suddenly directed a question to him, "By the way, what's your name, race and where did you come from?"
Kisuke paused for a bit before answering with a straight face, "I'm John Smith of the Nendoroid Clan. The land I came from is known as the Endless Eight."
Stralit and Gordo stared at him for a moment before the former went to operate her smartphone-like device, "...As expected, that's not in our database."
"Well, we only know a few hundred worlds and most of them were already destroyed by the Evies. It's only natural that there are still countless worlds out there that we're not aware of.", added the latter.
'Yosh... They bought it.', Kisuke cheered inside his head. It was dangerous for him to use an Earth-related reference, but it's funnier this way.
Kisuke was asked to rest for the rest of the day and Stralit promised to show him around the next day.

Kisuke, with Stralit as his escort, left the medical facility that he had been staying in ever since he was transported to this place and the first thing he saw was a beautiful amalgamation of modern aesthetics and nature. Towering spires wrapped around gigantic trees that cover half of the sky. Flying vehicles that weaved around colossal branches and trunks. Strategically placed orbs of light that brought the energy of the sun to the ground and magnificently lit the whole scene. The bustling crowds of 3-4 feet Elf-like beings with a horn on their heads. Lastly, the sun, several moons, and a planet peeking through the gaps of the huge leaves.
It was a very strange world, yet a very fascinating and beautiful one.
"What do you think?" Stralit asked with a smile on her face.
"...I don't really know what to say." Kisuke replied after a small pause, "But it's a strange one."
Stralit thought back to the description of his home world and asked, "Do you not like it?"
Kisuke shook his head, "It's very calming scenery, but I don't know if I could get used to it."
He could only describe it as such because he already told them what his 'previous world' looks like. A world almost desolated and society mostly living under the ground.
While sitting on her shoulder, Stralit showed Kisuke around the entire city, explaining various things he didn't understand. It was a very peaceful and prosperous city, but even with his very limited senses, beyond the sphere of influence of the city, Kisuke could feel some tremors and waves of destructive energy sweeping every hour or so.
And when he looked at one of the moons, he momentarily saw an explosion on its surface, albeit, very tiny from his perspective, 'We've been going around the whole day but this girl is the only Etoulde that I met. Are they spread out due to the number of worlds they manage, or is she the only one they need here?'
With the sensitivity of his senses right now, Kisuke couldn't gauge nor estimate the strength of this Etoulde known as Stralit, but he had a feeling that she was not just any random soldier or general.
"Do you have any questions or is there anything you want?" Stralit asked the silent Kisuke.
Kisuke looked straight into her eyes and asked, "How do I return home?"

In the evening, Kisuke was arranged to a room that's equivalent to a hotel room. He could see the continuing bustle of people going about their daily lives.
[...That, I'm sorry but we couldn't find your homeworld even after your description.]
[Then that strange portal... I'm sure I can reach my home if I keep going through one!]
[You can't! It's not that easy!]
Kisuke recalled the slightly heated conversation he had with Stralit, 'Now then... I've set up my stage. Now let's see how far I can go.'
Kisuke waited for about an hour before making his move and sneaked out of the building he was staying in. His goal was to reach the location of the wormhole that is being used to transport various supplies out of the city.
As soon as he left, several eyes immediately came following him but he pretended not to notice any of them and they just let him run like a small animal, 'Good... Time to leave my mark everywhere~!'
