Toward Eden-2 Chapter 2.Planet Shamballa

Chapter 2. Planet　Shambhala
●Episord 3.Capital city Kailas

When She opened the door at the back of the room, She found herself in outer space. A transparent tube stretched far into the distance, and a spaceship was moored inside it. The spaceship looked like a glowing blue-white dolphin. A dolphin in space?　　Ginrei was about to burst out laughing, but he kept quiet and followed Suiren across the ramp. When they boarded the ship, they found a row of white egg-shaped sofas. Ginrei and Suiren sat next to each other on the sofa. Ginrei, who had never been on a spaceship before, was a little nervous.


"It's going to be okay. Just relax."

Suiren cared.


　


Through the window, she could see countless twinkling starbursts, but as the spacecraft started, they became just lines of light. What a bore, Ginrei thought, and decided to sleep until they reached Shamballa.



"Miss Ginrei, please wake up. The planet Shambala is here."

Ginrei was woken up by the Suiren and looked out the window. The blue of the ocean and the green and brown of the land were reflected in her eyes.

"It's kind of like Earth."

She muttered. She could see that the outside of the atmosphere was covered with an even thinner transparent film.

"What is that?"

"It's a high-level, high-vibration energy field. The route we've just traveled is also made of energy fields. It protects us from the evil world with the energy of truth, goodness and beauty."


　


The spaceship slowly descended into Kailas. Kailas is a large crescent-shaped city surrounded by huge mountains on three sides and facing the sea. A large bay gouged out the coastline. The ripples glittered in the everlasting summer sun. The scale was different, but it looked like a pirate's hideout. A spaceport floated in the bay. As they approached Kailas, a dense astral energy enveloped Ginrei. It was warm and comforting.


　


The spaceport of Kailas was huge. It looked just like a larger version of Earth's airport, and there were many whale-shaped ships docked there. Ginrei couldn't help but gaze at them, but Suiren said

"I have prepared a residence for you in the City. You can take the orbital train to Kailas Station and then take a cab there."

She headed for the terminal.


　


　The orbital train was no different from the one on Earth, with two-seater blue sofas facing the direction of travel, but the walls and ceiling were made of seamless glass. Ginrei thought that it was like being inside a transparent kamaboko. They arrived at Kailas Station in no time and changed to a cab.


　


　A light blue cab picked up Ginrei and the others and headed for the city. Ginrei looked out the window at the passing city. The buildings were all white, and the whole city looked like a chalk castle.

　

The cab stopped in front of a cylindrical building near the center of the city.

"Here it is."

With that, Suiren got out of the cab. When she looked up, she saw a disc-shaped structure riding on the top. Ginrei followed her and took the elevator up to the top floor. When they arrived at their room, they found that the entire top floor was their room. The room had a window that looked like an observatory, so she could see the scenery far into the distance.

Suiren said,

"Enjoy your time in Kailas and heal the pain of death. This is the astral realm, so you can communicate with them if you think strongly about me. If you need anything else, please contact me. I have to work later, so someone named Byakdan will pick you up in two weeks. Until then, have fun."


　


　The Suiren left the room. Ginrei took another look around the room. In the living room, there was a semi-circular white sofa and a round table. There was a cone-shaped aroma pod in one corner with the scent of roses wafting through the air. The bedroom was also furnished with a large white circular double bed. There was no kitchen or bathroom.

"Well, I guess I don't need them since I'm not in a physical body anymore.

Ginrei muttered and decided to go out to the city.


　


The city center was crowded with people in colorful clothes. The city center was crowded with people in colorful clothes, but there were no businessmen because there was no economic activity. The city is under the control of a high class power, so a clear energy surrounds the entire city. How can there be no stagnation when there are so many people?　　The area was filled with the soothing scent of agarwood. When she smelled it, Ginrei's astral body was filled with a calm energy. Now, where should I go?　　As she looked around,

"You're from Earth, aren't you?


The voice came from a young woman. She had carrot-colored bob-style hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a dark blue shirt and lame yellow-green slim pants.

I"'m from Earth,"

Ginrei said.

"I thought you were. I'm Mira. I'm an artist."

"I'm Ginrei. I was brought here by the higher powers to be a walker."

"That's great!　　But it's not only warriors who fight the demon world. I'm one of them. Making beautiful things is also a battle against the demon world. So, where are you going?"

"I don't know, I just got here."

"Well, why don't you come to my studio?　　I'll show you a painting I'm working on."

"Well, I didn't know where I was going anyway, so why not?"

"Come on, follow me."


　


Ginrei started to walk with Mira. The studio was located in a narrow alley off the main street. The building looked like a small white box. When she walked in, she noticed a canvas on a large easel on the wooden floor. A meadow was painted on it. In the back was a forest. There were lions, leopards, and deer in the meadow. In the shade of a tree, a naked man and woman were chatting happily.

"It's a painting of the Garden of Eden,"

Mira explained.


"As I'm sure you've heard on Earth, there was once a high-energy paradise in the astral universe, watched over by the World Mother. But it was destroyed when the demon world invaded. The higher powers are trying to bring Eden back to life again. Everyone is fighting for it. If we artists create beautiful things and raise people's astral energy to high vibrations, the high vibrational energy field will also level up. That's how we can prevent the demon world."

Mira spoke with a look of excitement on her face. Her carrot-colored hair turned even redder. Ginrei stared at the painting. She felt an uplifting energy rising in her chest.

"I've heard of the Garden of Eden ....... I've heard of it, but I thought it was just a story."

"If you'r going to be a walker, you need to keep your energy up. Kailas has an opera house and beautiful gardens. You should experience as much beauty as you can while you can."



●Episode 4. "City "

The next day, Ginrei went to the hanging garden as Mira had told her. It was a garden built on the roof of a group of high-rise buildings, straddling the buildings. There was a large fountain in the center, from which a waterway ran through the garden. Roundly trimmed shrubs created a lovely and humorous space. The tall trees were trimmed in a triangular shape and arranged in a well-balanced manner. Passion pink azalea-like flowers bloomed in some places, giving a contrast to the garden. The flowers wavered and changed colors to match the image of Ginrei.

　

"There are gardens on Earth, too, but ....... The plants in the astral realm are much more beautiful."

　

Ginrei slowly walked around the garden, admiring these lovely plants. The garden seemed to be floating in the air as there was no barrier around it. Ginrei enjoyed the strange feeling of floating.

　

After enjoying the garden, she decided to go and listen to an opera in the evening. The opera house was a large dome-shaped building, and many people were already crowded at the entrance. According to the brochure, the program was "Astral Galaxy" by Lady Dube, a soprano singer. Ginrei excitedly took a seat in the middle of the center. When the lights went out and a spotlight shone on the stage, Lady Dube appeared. She was tall and glamorous, though the distance between them made it difficult to see her face. She was wearing a tight-fitting dress of royal blue. She was wearing a sparkling necklace around her neck. Images of the universe were projected on the screen behind her.

　

At first, the song started with a faint voice, like the chirping of birds. She could see the audience in the museum listening closely. As the orchestra played, the voice grew louder and louder, leading to a beautiful middle part. Ginrei felt as if she was slipping away. The song ended with an overwhelming climax that reminded her of a magnificent outer space. It was as if she was on a spacewalk with her research. The whole hall trembled with emotion. Everyone's emotional energy interfered with each other and was amplified. Ginrei remained seated for a while, unable to move. She left the opera house with the excitement still fresh in her mind.

　

The next day.

"After all, I need clothes for a change, don't me? I don't want to be a worn-out sparrow."

　

Ginrei went to the city center. To a middle-aged woman on the street.

"Excuse me. I'd like to get some clothes, where is the department store?"

She asked her.

She replied,

"Oh, that's the building right in front of you. They have everything from formal to casual.

"Thank you."

　

Ginrei hummed to herself as she entered the huge department store in front of her. She looked at the information board and searched for the casual clothing section. The casual wear section was on the twentieth to thirtieth floors. She took the elevator to the twentieth floor and looked around for a suitable store.

"Welcome. What can I do for you?"

A well-dressed woman in a bright red suit approached her.

"I'm looking for a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. That kind of thing. I know it's Earth fashion, but do you have anything like that here?"

"Yes, we do. If you are looking for something like that, this is the place."

The shopkeeper smiled and walked away, leading Ginrei to a store that read "Happy Earth". Looking at the sign, Ginrei suddenly thought,

"Come to think of it, this is Earth."

The shopkeeper smiled and led Ginrei to the store.

" I wonder why?　　Miss Suiren!"

Ginrei tried to imagine the Suiren and spoke to her.

"What is it?"

"Why is it that I can talk to people outside of Earth normally?"

"The astral world is connected by thoughts, it's like talking by telekinesis. The differences in their languages are meaningless."

I" see. That's convenient."

　

Ginrei was convinced and began to shop for clothes. She picked up a pair of blue, indigo and white jeans. After picking up a plain white, a white with navy blue border and a rose pink t-shirt, she went to the counter and approached the clerk.

"I want this one, can I take it with me?"

The clerk said,

"I'll wrap it up for you, and you just need to sign here. so You can return it."

She laughed. When the clerk handed her the handbag containing her clothes, Ginrei said

"That's right. I remembered that there is an ocean in Kailas. Let's go and pick up some swimsuits."

and headed for the swimwear counter.

　

When she arrived at the store, she looked around at the swimsuits. There were many to choose from, but She decided on a mint green bikini.

　

The next day she decided to go to the beach. When she arrived at the bathing beach by the track train, she saw the azure ocean spread out far beyond the wide sandy beach. The white of the sand and the blue of the sea made a wonderful contrast. After changing into a swimsuits at a wooden facility that looked like a beach house on Earth, Ginrei ran to the sea as fast as she could. She jumped into the water with vigor and headed out to sea with her signature breaststroke. The sea water became warmer or colder along the way, just like on Earth.

Ginrei stopped swimming and floated on his back. The glaring sun was in her eyes. Pure white clouds flowed lazily in the blue sky. As she floated, the boundary between herself and the sea disappeared, and she felt as if she were melting into the infinite life force of the sea.

"Maybe the universe is like an infinite ocean."

Ginrei muttered and started swimming again.
