Chapter 90 - Earth's Future, Part 2
Earth in the far future.
There is a huge island in the middle of the wide ocean.
It is an artificial island created by the old humans who flourished in prehistoric times.
There are only a few small houses on the island, and there are no shopping malls, factory areas, or buildings.
The houses are widely spaced, and every house has a large garden, but there is hardly any sign of life.
The artificial island is almost uninhabited, and because it is maintained by various robots, the houses have kept the appearance they had when people lived there.
From one small house on such an artificial island, a girl's humming can be heard.
The girl was cooking a festive meal in the lovely kitchen of her small home.
And from time to time, the girl takes off her apron and goes for a walk to see how far the lifting of the barriers covering the man-made island has progressed.
The girl would watch the dismantling for a while, smile with satisfaction, and then go home again to start cooking a celebratory meal.
The girl creates various kinds of dishes and sweets, arranges them on pretty plates, and puts them on a small table.
When the table is filled with plates, she removes her apron and hangs it on the apron rack in the kitchen.
The girl looks in the mirror and checks the wall clock, worrying about her hair.
"Is it about time?"
"I'm not sure what I should do…" she muttered.
At the very moment the girl muttered this,
**Knock-knock**
There was a small knock at the front door of the girl's house.
The moment she heard the knock, she smiled and hurried to the front door.
Arriving at the front door, she took a deep breath, then cautiously and slowly opened the door.
At the open door stood a girl.
The girl standing in the doorway was dressed entirely in black and held a pretty walking stick in her hand.
The girl in black smiled when she saw the girl in white and bowed her head in greeting.
On the head of the girl dressed in black stands a cute little kemonomimi.
*(Note: Kemonomimi = Animal Ears. Basically.)
Yes, that's right…
This girl in black is the last survivor of New Humanity and the pinnacle of magical technology.
