TN: Start off with a bit of Philosophical Talk
(3rd POV)
The turtle stood still deep in the underwater. But don't worry, leave it as it is.
A slight draft flickers and gets submerged in the gently circulating water.
The turtle was thinking still.
What I have inside, what I have outside, what I have done, what will I be doing in the future. Everything is the subject of thinking, trying to find the answer and the meaning to all of them.
Philosophy of the Turtle
While being born as a creature with the quality of a sage, living for a long years, and gradually sublimate and accumulate it's own knowledge.
At certain day, at a certain time, a certain turtle said.
"The world should be restored"
Share thoughts, accumulate knowledge, disseminate it, and leave it in the future generations.
At this time, for the first time a turtle began to walk as a race(species).
Then over a long period of time, exceeding many generation, the knowledge of the turtle reaches the universe.
The turtles who were thinking at the bottom of the pond and the bottomless light that provided the knowledge to others and found a significance as their own race.
The universe is infinite, the mystery is infinite. Interests are endless, and all of all things in nature attacks oneself.
It absorbed everything and gave up thinking, The turtle accumulated knowledge with own interest with precedence and thought. Some have challenged the mystery since the beginning of the universe, others aimed at what is at the end of technology. Some also were interested in past history, others were interested in the traces left by other races.
『Think, and ponder it if you do not get it』
According to the words produced by their ancestor, the turtle that specialized in each field unleashfully demonstrate their abilities and retain more achievements than ever.
Meanwhile, there was one turtle that kept thinking like many pioneers.
His name is Daviehun Rougudie.
He devoted his life to the study of ancient ruins, continues to think about the contents studied with precision backed by abundant knowledge and experience.
His thoughts were totally unchanged from the turtle on the bottom of the sea on the primeval period, his thought continues ......It was as expected, but some impact was felt, his thought was interrupted.
(Minoru POV)
I bought the high grade Sasami of 148 yen a gram in the supermarket and headed for the ruins.
So the turtle was dead.
Apparently there is no injury. Just like asleep ... Are you asleep? I tried waking him up but there's no signs of him waking up. He must be exhausted.
"Death by starvation ... ... Were you that hungry?"
I was shocked.
However, it has not even pass an hour since that call. It may be a state of death. I tried putting the Sasami that I bought into the turtle's mouth.
"Heelloo, are you there?"
"Oh, I opened my eyes."
Apparently he was alive. I was relieved.
Prokame-san who got about half of the Sasami in his mouth slowly struggled at first, then sent a gesture to me while flapping his limbs.
"You was nearly starved to death, thank me for saving you?"
(TN: From here the turtle is chocking so they are like playing charades and Minoru is the one answering)
The turtle created an X by his hand skillfully.
"That's not it?, what?”
He cut in half with his left foreleg, and move like carry someone behind.
"Help?"
Then he made a circle this time. Then he point to his throat, imitate a wedding and point to his partner.
"Your throat, is a bride or something, wrong?
Oh, your wife ... ... in other words, my wife?"
(TN: First wife is written as Okusan, while the second is written as Tsuma)
Then he crouch down and act like planting something. Then occasionally, stretch out his crouched hips and wipe away the sweat from forehead. His very meticulous about the details.
"Rice paddy? OK, ehh connect?, Read and connect it.
help me....throat, wife, rice paddy? Oh, last one is first character only.
Help me, Throat stuck......
please help, My throat stuffed? Is that it? Correct?"
(TN: First is 喉妻田 then 喉詰まった
Nodo = Throat
Tsuma = Wife
Tanbo = Rice paddy
First letter of Tanbo only and connect to Tsuma.
So it is now Tsuma-tTa = Stuffed or clogged)
I did it!
"Yes, give me the next question ... .... Well, what? Oh, that's it!"
I pulled out the Sasami from Mr. Prokame's mouth.
"I thought I was going to die!"
Welcome, welcome Prokame-san.
"Iya, I'm fine and safe, I beginning to think that I will die......."
"Really, well, that is when I think about it, well, it is a general appearance. So it is not easy to tell?"(Minoru)
The talk of philosophical turtles is famous, it seems pretty well known.
"There was no reply, even though I called, and it looked like a state of death."(Minoru)
"Well, I was asking my inner knowledge whether there is a misunderstanding in the state of death.
I hardly forget the thing that I saw and heard which that particularly interest me, but I do not remember it in relation to it, so I ask questions and make my knowledge emerge.
Simply put, it's like having a database in myself. "
I say that it's a very great thing. A database that has been living for 2,000 years. It's literally a walking dictionary.
"So, did you understand something?"
"First of all, the more you accumulate knowledge, the more you work with this thought, and use your nutrition for searching.
As I was starving, then I could not explore deeply, the knowledge that I knew did not have it"
I wonder whether this ruin is considerably rare or too insignificant.
"Is not it possible to investigate?"
"No, when the ship comes, we can use that database, because we can access a larger database through the ship, we'll find something when we use it. "
Indeed, I felt that the database used by Profokame, a walking dictionary, seems to be great.
"Well, could you just tell me what you understood?"
"What I understood is two things.
First thing is that this ruins were made by species who came from outside,
Another thing is that the tribe left this star.
I do not know the reason for moving in and I do not know the reason why they left.
It's of full mysteries, right?"
