Chapter 65: SEED – Return and the Warship Core
After eating some food in the evening, the temperature started to drop. Monty Hill set up a portable stove to boil water, raising the surrounding temperature a little.
Lynn Minmay, dressed lightly, sat with Monty Hill wrapped in a single blanket. She slowly said to him:
"Brother, do you remember the first time we met when we were little?"
Monty Hill was completely baffled. How would I know? All of your memories about me were fabricated by Nami.
"Nami, quickly send me the fabricated memories you gave Lynn Minmay so I can take a look!"
"Understood, Master, I'll play them for you now."
Seeing Monty Hill remain silent, Lynn Minmay went on speaking:
"Hehe, brother, you definitely don't remember, right?
Back then I was only five years old. That day at our doorstep, I was pestering my parents, saying I wanted a big brother.
Then suddenly, I saw you—around six or seven years old—collapse right in front of us.
The moment I saw your cute face, I thought, it would be perfect if you became my big brother.
After that, my parents took you to the hospital.
You only remembered your name, Monty Hill, but nothing else.
My parents immediately called the police to investigate where your family was, but unfortunately, no information about you could be found at all.
Later, when I heard my parents say they were going to adopt you, I was so happy. To me, you were like a gift sent from heaven."
Lynn Minmay wore an expression of bliss, closing her eyes as she leaned against Monty Hill's shoulder. Before long, she had fallen asleep.
At that moment, Monty Hill felt as if a herd of alpacas were stampeding through his heart.
Damn it, Nami's skill at making up stories is just too good—even I'm moved by it.
Sigh… Lynn Minmay doesn't necessarily need to be "taken." Treating her as a younger sister forever isn't bad either.
At worst, I can just bring her along to wander the mech world—it's still better than letting her spend ten lonely days here alone. And sooner or later, I should be able to come back here, right?
Decision made. I'll tell her tomorrow before we leave. For now, let's get a good night's sleep.
The next day, Monty Hill explained to Lynn Minmay about his ability to travel between worlds.
He smoothed out the story of their first meeting when he was six or seven years old, saying it was when his ability had first awakened and he accidentally crossed into her world and met her family.
Of course, he didn't say a word about the artifact of world travel—he simply claimed it was all part of his superpower.
Then he asked if Lynn Minmay was willing to stay with him forever, to travel across countless worlds together.
Overjoyed, Lynn Minmay clung to him like a koala, saying she never wanted to be apart and wished to see the scenery of different worlds at his side.
Monty Hill had Nami enhance Lynn Minmay's body, then created a necklace with a special magnetic field that extended her lifespan to two or three thousand years.
Overcome with happiness, Lynn Minmay kissed Monty Hill passionately, and the two remained locked together for a long time.
But aside from that, nothing inappropriate happened between them.
Monty Hill also told her that in most other worlds, he went by the name Tolle Koenig.
He explained that she might need to stay in his storage space alone for a while, since the world he was returning to was embroiled in interstellar war. Only when they reached Earth would she be able to appear openly before others.
Lynn Minmay readily accepted staying alone in his storage space.
Though she didn't like the name Tolle Koenig, preferring Lynn Monty Hill or just Monty Hill, she had no choice but to accept the reality of that identity.
Monty Hill also arranged with the system for Lynn Minmay to be directly transferred into the escape pod built by the Devil Gundam.
He then asked Nami to modify the pod into a luxurious space RV, which would serve as Lynn Minmay's temporary residence.
Afterward, he retrieved the VF-1SS Valkyrie fighter that was stuck in the wall back into his storage space, leaving only a damaged shell behind.
Once everything was ready, Lynn Minmay, looking reluctant to part, was transported into the space RV.
With the help of the artifact, Monty Hill returned to the Archangel's restroom.
The system prompted: "Host, you have completed your second world traversal and earned one random lottery draw. Would you like to use it?"
"Use it immediately."
Monty Hill—or rather, Tolle Koenig now—rolled his eyes at the system. Did it even need to ask? It's not like I'm saving it for New Year's.
"Congratulations, Host. You have received one 'Tenchi Muyo World – Jurai Royal Second-Generation Battleship' gift pack.
Contents: One improved Jurai Royal Second-Generation Battleship Core, already bound to the host's soul.
Also included: Construction technology and installation data for the warship's external limiting disguise hull. The appearance may be freely designed."
Tolle Koenig couldn't help blurting out, "Holy shit."
He blamed his lack of education—he couldn't think of any better words to describe how thrilled he felt.
With this Jurai Royal Second-Generation Battleship Core, he could one day build his own super warship.
In the Tenchi Muyo universe, Jurai Royal warships were ridiculously powerful—and this was a second-generation model. In a word, utterly insane.
The core itself was already overwhelmingly strong, capable of destroying stars and galaxies with ease. It was so powerful it normally had to be hidden within a disguise as an ordinary warship.
Unfortunately, he didn't yet have enough materials; otherwise, he would have built his own super battleship right away.
The Jurai Royal Second-Generation Battleship Core looked like a round flying saucer.
Its dimensions: 35 meters in diameter, 10 meters thick, with an internal subspace world.
The subspace world inside had a diameter of 35 kilometers, a sky height of 8 kilometers, and land depth of 2 kilometers.
Tolle Koenig discovered he could enter this subspace world with his consciousness, and he immediately went to take a look.
Inside was filled with beautiful flowers, trees, bridges over flowing streams, and shady groves—a lush, natural paradise that felt wonderfully soothing.
Near the central area was a small lake, beside which stood a large villa resembling the Masaki family estate.
The villa was fully furnished—refrigerator, television, running water, sewage recycling, environmental systems—everything one could need.
Its power supply came from a high-performance, large-output, eco-friendly, radiation-free, pollution-free micro cold-fusion reactor, no larger than an Iron Man arc reactor.
At the very center was a small hill, atop which stood a tree slightly taller than a person.
When the tree sensed Tolle Koenig's presence, it radiated joy.
Its leaves rustled with a sound like a little girl's silvery laughter, crisp and pleasant.
From its leaves shone slender beams of light that touched Monty Hill's consciousness.
He felt incredibly comfortable, as though countless soft little hands were caressing him.
