CHAPTER FIVE
CHOOSING CHILDREN [14]

248)
1: I was really chosen?!
2: That's right!!
3: But listen.
4: Only the chosen children can hear the truth.

249)
1: The truth is, the earth will die soon.
2: Die?!
3: The sky, the sea,
4: it will all disappear?!

250)
1: That's right!!
2: The plants have already been annihilated.
3: And the only green left in our environment is now in your hair.
4: In three months, all of these bad signs who surface, and the world will transform into a living hell!!

251)
1: Therefore we must send you into space now.
2: Do you understand?
3: Yes.
4: I have to represent the children.
5: And protect the future of the human race!!
6: Exactly.
7: Now,

252)
1: can you come here at once?
2: If you can't come alone, bring your mother.
3: I can go alone.
4: Bobby the cactus died, so now I have to decide everything by myself.

253)
1: crash
2: I will go alone.
3: I see.
4: Well then, I'm waiting.
5: boop

254)
1: America!!
2: You don't have to force yourself. You're still only 3.
3: Mother.
4: Don't worry.
5: I'm not a baby anymore.
6: I can do everything on my own now. Besides, the earth is going to die, isn't it?

255)
1: Mr. President.
2: Just how foolish are you?
3: Making your son come here by himself.
4: He may be your son, but there's no way he can make it here by himself.
5: There is no need to worry, Vice-President Gorman. I've raised my child strictly.
6: Oh really?

256)
1: Hmph!!
2: Well, in any case, I've already arranged for a master pilot to bring him over. He should be here by now.
3: You what?!
4: Who told you to do that?
5: My family already has our personal pilot on standby!!
6: What did you do this for?! You wouldn't go out of your way to arrange such a thing for no reason. What are your intentions?
7: What's the pilot's name?! What group does he belong to?!
8: He belongs to no one. His name is Lindberg.
9: Lindberg?

257)
1: I've never heard of such a pilot. I have memorized my entire family lineage, and know the name of every person involved in military affairs in the past 100 years. There exists no such man.
2: Just who is he?
3: A "commodity," of course.
4: "Commodity?"
5: That's right. He is a pilot "commodity" created specifically for this event. We just brought him over from Japan.
6: But I have not legalized the sale of "commodities" in America.
7: slam
8: I absolutely hate "commodities." So much that I did not use them during the child selection. And yet you insist on sending one of those things to my son's side?
9: Hmph!! You're reacting exactly how I imagined you would.

258)
1: But, Mr. President, excuse me if this sounds rude, but your son is only 3 years old.
2: Are you positive he can traverse the Nevada mountains and come here all on his own?!
3: If your son is truly a genius child, then he should follow my plan.
4: I'm excited to see what the result will be.
5: Vice-President Gorman, could you be...
6: abusing the danger the earth faces all for the sake of the sale of "commodities?"
7: But of course. Danger? The earth? This is all one big over-reaction. It's ridiculous.
8: I haven't believed for one second that the earth is going to die.
9: Those who go around saying such things are just victims of their own powerful neuroses. You'll see.

259)
1: THE CHOICE
2: flap
3: clang

260)
1: I'm Lindberg, I came to pick you up.
2: Y-you're...
3: the "commodity," it seems. I received the call.
4: Yes.
5: America.
6: Mother.
7: It's fine.
8: I said I was going to go alone.

261)
1: The helicopter we prepared is having some problems, so it'll be a while until we lift off.
2: See, mother.
3: I'll go in this one.
4: Come down.
5: Yes, sir.
6: It's fine. I know how to fly a helicopter.

262)
1: spark
2: rumble
3: Are you alright?
4: It's fine, mother.
5: Bye bye.
