Inside is a large, empty room, and Alicia quickly moves her perspective to check it out.
　The house, which really seemed to be furnished with the bare essentials as simply as possible, looked like a prison to her eyes.

Um, can I call you Alicia?
That's fine, I'll call you maquina too.

　Alicia and Machina, who met on an artificial island where only one person lives, felt a strange sensation that they did not know how to express to each other.
　I'm sure the two of them will definitely meet for the first time, but for some strange reason.......I felt a sense of familiarity, as if they were 'meeting their own kind' for the first time.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends.

'Come to think of it, how did Alicia come to this island?'
'Oh, I may be unusual, but I'm a traveler, you know. I've been wandering around the world and just happened to stop by.
I didn't know travelers could fly.
Well. I'm what you call a wizard. I can even fly with ease.
Yeah, it's great to be a traveler.

　Alicia's words that she was a wizard would normally be hard to believe. However, Makina had already seen Alicia leap to a height impossible for a human to achieve and land soundlessly, so she accepted the words without a doubt.

'Ah, yes!　It's just lunchtime, and Alicia can go eat too. We're your first time visitors and you'll be welcomed with open arms.
That's a tempting proposition. Well, I was actually planning to have an elegant lunch on a luxury cruise ship, but my curiosity took precedence and I missed out on a meal. I'll be grateful for the opportunity to treat myself.
'Yes!　Hold on, I'll have it ready in a minute.

　After nodding happily at Alicia's words, Makina reached for a console on a nearby wall and operated it.
　Then a section of the wall slid noisily, revealing what had been stored there.

'Whatever flavor you want, you can pick and choose!

　With a big smile on her face, Makina pointed to a large amount of ........jelly drinks.

''A jelly drink!　No, no, no, it's true that Jell-O drinks are more developed than they were a long time ago. But Jell-O for lunch?　Oh, what?　Are you actually not very welcome?
'What?　No, no!　It's very welcoming.... oh, no?　I thought this would be the best one...............but that's okay. There's more!

　Makina works the console again, looking somewhat impatient with Alicia's reaction. Then the wall in a different place than before slides.
　And while indicating it with her hand, Makina announced with a look of this time.

'You can choose whatever you want!
Canned goods?　And this is a can of military-grade shit that's been fully swept up in the preservation period!
'What?　What?　Oh, Pa, there's bread too!
"....dry bread....that thing?　I've just misunderstood, is Makina a 'veteran of long term survival with a secret mission' or something like that?　By the way, do you have anything to drink?
I have water.
I see.

　Apparently it's true that Makina is welcoming Alicia, and I could tell by her attitude that she's trying to offer her hospitality to the best of her ability.
　Hence, Alicia smiled at Makina who slumped her shoulders and then told her in a cheerful voice to regain her composure while picking up the jelly drinks and canned food.

''Well, it's nice to have a meal like that once in a while. I can prepare something for you, but it's a welcome treat for you.......do you have any recommendations for Makina?
Oh ... um ... well, these oranges are delicious!
Okay, I'll take that one. Here. Makina.
Yeah!

　Seeing Alicia's smile, Makina also smiled with a puffy, flowery smile and held the jelly drink handed to her by Alicia in her hand.
　There didn't seem to be any chairs in the room, so they sat side by side on a simple bed and began drinking the jelly drink.

The more you look at it, the more empty it is. How long has Makina been here?
Let's see, it's been about 16 years... since I can remember, though, so it's probably more than that, actually. The meals and such are replenished every few years.
'Sixteen years in the middle of nowhere like this... it's a depressing story. Come to think of it, Makina called herself a monster, but why?　I'm, well, you'll know it when you see it earlier.
'Hmmm, it's hard to explain... but I, you know, 'I could speak the language even though no one taught me,' and I've been on this island for as long as I can remember, and I can see a lot of things.
Can you see?
'Yeah. I don't know what to say, it's supposed to be far away, but if you want to see it, you can see it, and if you want to hear it, you can hear it... that kind of thing.

　It was indeed a content that was beyond the bounds of humanity. They can speak without being taught a word, and can see and hear faraway places without being taught a word.
　In this world where magic has disappeared and is equal, it is a power that can be called a psychic ability....

''........clairvoyance.
Clairvoyant?
I seem to have the power to say. My 'father figure' told me.
It seems...
I've never talked to you, I've never met you, and apparently that's enough. Well, as I said before, I can speak the language without having been taught, and I know a lot of things even though I have been on this island of nothingness for a long time. I guess I'm not wrong.
Wow.

　While talking about such things, Makina's expression remained smiling.

''........How long has Alicia been traveling?''
Hmmm, I was counting at least a thousand years, but I've forgotten the exact number of years.
'A thousand years!　It's amazing. It's mind boggling.

　Makina could easily accept and believe the words 1000 years, which she would have laughed at if an ordinary person had told her.
　At the same time, she could understand the inexplicable sense of closeness they felt for each other. If you want to put it that way, the two of them are finally able to meet each other and are monsters beyond humanity.

''........Why are you traveling, Alicia?''
'I promised my best friend, I'm looking for something. I haven't found it, but well, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just going to take my time and travel the world to find it.
Well, hey, Alicia. You know, um...
Yeah?

　While continuing the chit chat, Makina made some kind of stagnant expression and Alicia, seeing this, tilted her head. After wandering the gaze as if searching for words, Machina told her as if she had made up her mind.


"Huh?
No.... no...
No, just when you think you've got a serious look on your face you say, "Hey, you know, don't bother checking it out, just be a friend.
Alicia.
See, you don't just declare yourself a friend. As long as we're both thinking about it, we're still friends.
'Well, yeah, well I'm glad you did. I've made a friend for the first time.

　Seeing Makina smiling happily from the bottom of her heart, Alicia also smiled softly. And the two of them, unbelievably close to each other for the first time today, were chatting together.









　The fun time passed in a blink of an eye, and as Makina listened to Alicia talk about her trip with a smile, before she knew it, the time was nighttime.

Oh, well, that's how it is, I'm going to stay the night today, thank you.
I don't know what that means, but you are more than welcome to join us. This house, well, there's nothing here but a big bathroom!
Hmm, the bathroom is in that room over there, right?　That position, just the bathroom is wide - it's totally like they adjusted it to make the appearance of a regular cube.
Hmmm, maybe that's true?

　Makina smiled happily at Alicia's words about staying the night. After that, we ate a canned dinner together and moved together to the bathroom.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of the size of the bathrooms, as well as the size of the bathrooms to be able to accommodate not only two people, but quite a few people at the same time.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that there is nothing in the bathrooms either. Yes, it's spacious, but it's a wall of steel and there's not even a window, and the bathtub is just wide and has no design qualities at all...I'd give it a 15 for appearance.
'Hmmm, that's a tough one to grade. No, I didn't make it up.
Haha....mm?
Yeah?　What's going on, Alicia?

　Alicia was looking around the bathroom while giving a dry assessment, but her gaze stopped midway and began to stare at Makina.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.

''Makina, you have beautiful skin~''
Wow!　What, what, all of a sudden?
Wow, and it's so smooth and glutinous... You eat a lot of Jell-O and canned food, but it's just a wonderful touch.
'Hmm!　Hey, what... what are you doing?　Ah.....
Mmmm, this is an exquisite feeling, I have to admit...
'My eyes are a complete pervert's sore!
'Oops, don't expect to get away with it...now, brace yourself!
Heeeee!

　Makina tried to escape as soon as she could, but the difference in physical ability between the two of them was obvious, and in no time she was caught by Alicia.








　The sound of water dripping in the spacious bathroom is extremely loud, and Makina, who exposed her soft, white, translucent skin, has given up on resistance, or perhaps closed her eyes and is being manipulated.
　Looking at such Makina, Alicia moves her hands technically with a smile on her face.

''Don't you have an itch?''
'Yeah, I mean, isn't it confusing?　It's too much of a front to flush your back. I really did have a chastity crisis, didn't I?
'Hmmm... what are you talking about?　
Alicia is so mean to me.
'Haha, sorry, I'm sorry. It's been a while since I've had a bath with someone and I'm a little excited.
''Well the way the tension is built up is completely perverted. I'm shocked that my first friend is such a pervert.
Well, I'm telling you that's what guys like that do!
'Whoops!　d*mn it!　Don't pour hot water over your head all of a sudden!

　Within a few hours of meeting each other, the two of them had become incredibly comfortable with each other. It was as if they had been friends for many years, to the point where they were able to flirt with each other like this......and it felt so natural to me.
　Can you call it chemistry?　Even though she was complaining to Alicia who was joking around, Makina still looked like she was enjoying herself the whole time.

''Then we'll take over!
Yeah, well, Alicia, sit down.
Ho ho ho oh, I forgot to tell you. In some places, people put bubbles on their bodies and wash them as a way to strengthen their friendship.
"...a lie. Absolutely not. Alicia is a liar.
I didn't expect to be judged as a liar by someone I'd only known for a few hours. Well, it's not all a lie, anyway.
'What?　There really is a way to wash that!

　It was really a trivial conversation, but it was also the first time Makina had ever flirted with a friend in this way. Through her clairvoyant powers, she had seen what friends were like and how they treated each other. But this was the first time I had actually experienced it, and it was very new to me.

'Okocha, maybe it was a little early for Makina though~'
You just called me a grown-up and now you're talking about a grown-up...
Sweet!
Hiya!
'Chitty, you're not quite ready to take the plunge yet. Then you'll be easily countered like this.
You grab people's chests and act all smug and smug!　Oh, God, Alicia!
"Ha-ha.
Hey! Don't you run away!

　For Machina, who has been living in isolation on this empty, birdcage-like island for 16 years since she can remember, she has never had such a good time....
　It was also the first time to feel that time had gone by so quickly.
　It is also the first time that I wish this time could continue forever.......everything was a first.
