Chapter 77 - The New Humans and the Homunculi

"This will change things. Everything we've known from now will change.

The future of new humanity and homunculi will begin anew from this point onwards…"

I sit on a chair in my room and continue to observe their research.

(That's it.

Katamimi's thinking control function has been completely destroyed.

No, it isn't just Katamimi.

The thought restrictions on all the homunculus soldiers who survived that hellish retreat with that man have been completely destroyed.

Before that hellish retreat, the thought restrictions were completely functional in their simple brains.

That's why Katamimi and the other homunculus had no choice but to resist their restrictions, enduring throbbing aching heads.

And then, during the hellish retreat, they saw the soldier boy weeping.

That was the moment.

A "wave of energy" was generated in their simple brains and simple souls, completely destroying their thought restrictions.

This was something that even the general was unaware of, but immediately after breaking their thought restrictions, "light" dwelled in their eyes.

That was the moment when they became complete.

So, what was that "wave of energy"?

It's simple.

It was the "power of love."

They love him from the bottom of their hearts.

And that love destroyed their thought restrictions.)

I felt the general hugging Katamimi, who emerged from the culture medium.

The general hugged Katamimi gently, and Katamimi smiled happily while being hugged by the general.

The researchers kept looking at these two people in a daze.

"Now, how do the researchers who were afraid of the homunculi's potential take this fact?

This is a critical moment for them.

The future of the Homunculi and New Humanity will change greatly depending on how they respond here.

…If… if you make a mistake here…

If you ignore the will of the homunculus and continue to treat them as tools without giving them love…

…You will experience the same thing as us, the old humans…

…The experience of rebellion…"

That day, the fact that Katamimi lacked any thought restrictions spread like wildfire amongst all the researchers in the Republic of Sages.

"The homunculus who lacked any thought restrictions still worked normally and didn't run away."

This fact was a groundbreaking discovery, and many researchers from other laboratories rushed to the Homunculus Research Institute.

In the laboratory, which is getting noisy with Zawazawa, researchers are rushing to Katamimi and asking various questions.

"What is it like to have no thought restrictions?"

"In the old days, merely attempting to think made my vision blur and my head ache; however, the discomfort disappeared during that hellish retreat, and now my thoughts were free to think of various things, as if the fog had been lifted."

"Thinking about various things… What on earth are you thinking about?"

[Basically, I think about the general.

What can I do to help the general work more comfortably?

What can I do to help the general live a better life?

My thoughts basically consist of that."

"Well… what do you think about humanity as a whole?"

"We recognize that you were the great people who created us, and that we should do our best for you all.]

"Do you think it would be more efficient to work if we didn't put thought restrictions on the simplified homunculi?"

"Yes.

I think that work efficiency will increase if there are no thought restrictions.

This is only my personal experience, but if I couldn't think for myself, I wouldn't have survived that hellish retreat.

If we fought only according to the data we were given, it's guaranteed that we would have been killed.

In that case, the general, who I was protecting, would have been killed.

Because we lacked thought restrictions, we were able to think freely and fight more efficiently than the enemy homunculus soldiers."

As a result of Katamimi's responses, the researchers decided to start an experiment on removing the homunculi's thought restrictions.

Firstly, the researchers decided to lift the thought restrictions on a few of the high-class homunculus soldiers guarding the institute.

Of course, as a precaution for the worst-case scenario, fully armed homunculus soldiers were deployed around the area, just as before.

Protected by armed homunculus soldiers, the researchers began to lift the thought restrictions of the homunculus soldiers in the culture medium.

The removal of the thought restrictions proceeded smoothly, unlike when Katamimi had hers removed.

When the newly unrestricted high-class homunculus soldiers emerged from the culture medium, the researchers stood ready.

…They were worried.

There was no guarantee that all the homunculi would be docile like Katamimi.

Being able to think for themselves meant that if they started rampaging, the researchers wouldn't be able to stop them without using force.

The researchers themselves hold their wands, staring at the homunculi ready to shoot attack magic in the case that they were violent.

However, the homunculus soldiers who emerged from the culture medium did nothing, merely walking around the room with their bare feet.

Then they retrieved their clothes from the shelves, put them on, and began lining up.

…For a while, no one could move.

The researchers stared at the homunculus soldiers and clenched their wands.

The girls, whose thought restrictions had been lifted, were waiting, staring at them.

After a long time, a single researcher lowered his wand and approached the homunculus soldiers.

He approached the homunculi with a jerk, stopping within arm's reach of them.

Then, he reached for the head of a homunculus soldier standing in front of him and gently stroked her head.

The homunculus girl tilted her head and squinted her eyes before happily leaving her head to him.

The other researchers observing the situation also lowered their wands and approached the homunculus soldiers one by one.

And everyone stroked the head of the homunculus soldiers.

At this moment, it was decided that the Homunculi and the New Humans would forge a new relationship.

At this moment, the Homunculi were no longer just tools made to faithfully obey human commands.

They were perceived by people as completely sentient and fit to walk with humans.

Like a certain female scholar and the first homunculus girl, it was decided that the New Humans and the Homunculi would begin anew as friends and companions.
