A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat?

I have a black dragon in front of me.

He folds large wings and wears them awry like dogs in that giant.

After finishing what happened at Artemias and being followed to headquarters by a transfer, me and Suphilia were trapped in the hall with the dragon in front of us.

"Your Lord is Nito..."

The Black Dragon was picking on me with those big eyeballs.

"I didn't know you couldn't scare one thing in front of this Carpent Ze Bach"

The dragon laughed small.

"Ask the Lord, what is that thing about Ichijo, is that the Lord's work?

"... misfire. I'm sorry for miscontrolling magic."

"Come on, it will be, otherwise Zeke can't have invited you here. That's not what I'm asking. It's why I made a mistake. I can tell by Alford and Eliza's heartbeat, and changes in body temperature. Your Lord has a suspicious eye. I mean, the Lord hasn't given us a convincing explanation yet."

"It's my mistake. There's nothing else I can answer."

"I see, I feel sorry for you. I guess it's not a lie. But there is one thing that bothers me. Your pulse quickened when the Lord spoke of a“ mistake ”. I also felt an increase in body temperature. I mean, your lord is upset. I don't know why. Why, what are you hiding?

In denial, if further read, is it the same?

Dragons are bad creatures.

Two, a big claw of dragons loomed in front of me.

I took it with one hand reflexively.

Shockwaves ran around and the hall swayed.

Sufilia suddenly opens her eyes and, surprised, turns to the dragon in front of her.

I shook my head sideways to curb hostility towards Suphilia as an indication of my willingness not to have a problem.

Sufilia turns her mind off for a moment.

"What imitation?

"I see, I see what Sieg meant"

Black Dragon pulled his arm in.

"Let me see some power"

It's called Sieg, it's called this dragon, don't these guys know how to do it differently?

Normally, there would be some sort of no first.

"I lived a long time. I've seen the world change many times. I met all sorts of people, and some of them were as rare as your Lord."

Apparently it's unusual for humans to stop dragon arms.

"This isn't upsetting...... yes, this is fear. What's the Lord afraid of, if you can answer me, I'll answer you?

"What are you going to do?

"There is no need to be alarmed. I have no intention of blaming or punishing your Lord in the first place. I just want to know what the hell happened. But perhaps it will be the same for the Lord, who does not know why what has happened to him."

"I want to know about magic. Is magic something that depends heavily on emotions?

"Regardless, yes. But technically, no. Magic is always the magic of the host. Emotionally driven expressions are inaccurate"

But that reasoning doesn't apply to me.

So you lost an arm because of magic?

That doesn't matter what you think.

My erosion has touched my people before.

But there was no more harm than being aware that I was one of them.

But there are exceptions.

"Exception?"

"It's called the Abyss."

Black Dragon said.

stared me in the eye at the same time.

"I see, is that what happened..."

Apparently, they've read my mind again.

Can't you only work out if you raise your level?

"Was the Lord a fool of the abyss?"

"What do you mean, the abyss isn't a fairy tale?

"The abyss is real. But there shall be few of them that know it any more. As the Lord says, the abyss is the living end of an adventurer appearing in a fairy tale. In other words, in modern times, most people have only that degree of awareness, even if they knew."

"But you do know, don't you?

"I don't know the details either. But I know the legend."

"Legend?"

"The Wizard of Genesis - the inheritance supposedly left behind by Adams Rado Pollyphia."

said the dragon.

Whoever is stained with the abyss loses his life.

Those swallowed by the abyss lose their love.

Whoever falls into the abyss, loses his freedom.

I don't know what that means.

"When I say heirloom, this is like a warning sentence. Few who touch the abyss lose something. I mean, if you don't want to be, don't get your hands on it. Those who ignore warnings and touch the abyss are called - with the fools of the abyss."

"... I see"

"Life expectancy, love, freedom. If you know you're going to lose all this stuff and still want strength, then that's foolishness. That's how I received this inheritance. It was a long time ago. At the time, I was thinking about what the abyss was. But in the end, I never saw the abyss."

So I came to one hypothesis.

"Was it life expectancy, love and freedom?

"Um, it was marked as losing them"

"If so, maybe my magic isn't an abyss"

"What do you mean?

"I've always thought my magic was an abyss. The first time I thought that was when Sieg pointed me out. Rather than noticing, I thought it was because they told me so. But I'm not dead, and I haven't lost my love. And most importantly, you're free. Doesn't that mean I'm not an abyss fool?

The dragon looked sinister.

"Sure, maybe..."

"... by the way, what is the first exception I said, has anything to do with the abyss?

"It's been a long time, but I've only asked King Ryu about the abyss once."

"The Dragon King?

"We are the king of dragons. I still admire you."

"So, what's that dragon king?

"I asked what the abyss was. King Ryu said - don't just get involved in the abyss. He warned me that if I was swallowed up in the abyss, I wouldn't be sorry. But I couldn't keep my curiosity down. I asked. I wondered what it meant to be swallowed... King Ryu said it was a disfigurement of character. The abyss is heterogeneous, and you can freely manipulate influence according to the will of your host."

It's the same word Ver said.

"But in exchange for that great power, when swallowed by the abyss, spirituality manifests itself, personality, will and will. that these become unconsciously unstable."

"Will become unstable?

I was remembering Ver's words again.

- If you doubt yourself, you'll be swallowed by the abyss.

If that's true, I would have doubted myself.

But when and where did you suspect?

I've never doubted myself.

There is always a criterion of whether I will not regret my actions, and that is my will.

"But surely there are many things that do not apply to the Lord. Perhaps the Lord is right."

I don't know what caused the injury to one article after all.

If my magic is swallowed up in the abyss, then my will is destabilized.

Then I guess there's nothing I can do about it after all.

The dragon had nothing to say in particular, even as he took one last glimpse of Sufilia.

When I opened the door to the room, there was Eliza and Alford, and an article.

One smiled softly as he looked at me in the face.

"Excuse me. I need to talk to Mr. Nito for a moment, so would you two please stay out of your seats?

They accepted one word, "Okay," and took a quick look at my face before walking out of the room.

"I'm sorry, I made you worry"

"No."

"Well, I'm sorry, I've done irrevocably"

"Never mind. Because thanks to Mr. Nito's witchcraft, I have no pain, and my body is fine. Besides, it's been too long. No matter how much I regret it, my arms won't go back."

"Excuse me......"

"No, that's not what I meant! Well... I've been through it, so I know. I don't know what Nito's thinking right now."

"... are you Hitachi"

"Yes...... I regretted it too, over and over again. But regrets are the same no matter how many times. Doesn't change anything about not acting. I got the feeling that I was able to regret it then, so do you call it comfort, I was distracted. That's all I thought I was still the right person...... But the guilt that came next was more than that. And I regret it to ease my mind again... it was a repetition of that."

I didn't know.

I thought we'd all forgotten anyway.

I was so full of my life in front of me, I thought I'd be forgotten anyway, and that was what I wanted.

I didn't even want you to remember me, and I still haven't changed who I am.

But one article was different.

"Are the other brave men looking for Hitachi?

"What do you think, I've been watching everyone since I decided to leave there. I was wondering if there was anything following me... But from what I've seen, no one thought Hitachi was alive but me. But there was just one student who said it was Nikko's childhood training. Oh, when I say students, we brave people are actually just high school students, and high school students are..."

You're childhood friendly, I miss you......

Probably about the little bird.

I didn't know you were in there.

"How many?

"Huh?"

"How many of you summoned brave men in all?

"Sure... I thought it was 21 people"

Nineteen out of one with me.

"I see Hitachi was still being abused,"

"Speaking of which, you said that then too"

"No, never mind. It's a piece of your arm more than that, but I'll see if I can find a way to get it back. Until then, I'm sorry, but wait."

I can't do anything about it right now.

But I think I should feel a little sorry for you.

That would be the apology, wouldn't that mean showing the will for reflection?

But I can't take my face off, and I don't know what to look like when I take it off.

Nothing can be done in such a halfway state.

No, maybe this is just running away.

"Okay. And, if possible, Hitachi's information... it would be helpful if you could tell me when you find out something."

Why doesn't a single article blame me for saying I lost my arm?

At the end of the day, maybe a clause was "saint prince".

Proceeding down the hallway, there was an Alford figure.

"You named him?

I'll stop.

Sufilia stopped next to me, too.

"I still can't do this right now"

"Well... if Ichijo forgives me, I won't say anything more. Eliza would be willing to do the same. Besides, even though you were temporarily the target of revenge, I somehow know you don't consider Ichijo your enemy anymore."

I don't like being seen objectively.

"But I didn't know you'd get that upset. It makes me laugh a little bit when I remember."

"Let me know if you have anything to do with a single arm. I'll check it out over here."

"Well, don't worry too much, everyone fails."

"Depends on the degree of failure, I should be worried."

We left the scene behind.

There was a siege in front of the hall door.

"Are you going now?

"Oh, metastatic magic, please"

"There was a lot going on this time... but for now, I'll leave the princess to it"

"Oh."

"And I have one thing to say to you."

Sieg cemented his expression.

I took care of all the guards.

I know what it means.

"What we're doing isn't philanthropy. If you shoot them out, that alone creates a danger to the tissue. I don't know what you thought and let them get away with it, but be careful from now on."

I know what this guy's talking about.

"Not in good faith, until I obeyed the Creed. That was the path I wouldn't regret. I will always obey only myself. After that, whatever you do, you're on your own. Killing a guard is none of my business either. You just killed him."

Sieg glanced at me and after a while his expression returned.

"Okay. I won't say anything more."

Our feet glowed.

"Speaking of which, where are you now?

"In the meantime, fly me to the same place you just did"

"Huh, secrecy? Okay."

Sieg only raised the left corner of his mouth and laughed small.

"Bye -"

Vision was wrapped in light.
