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

I had Mr. Khalifa stay at his house that day.

After the three of them had fallen asleep, staring at the old ceiling wood, he remembered the story of five adventurers.

"How could Mr. Khalifa have forgotten?

"Because he did."

Mr. Khalifa told me.

It seems Zephyr can erase the other person's memory.

It is the magic described in Adams' Magic Book (Grimoire) once obtained.

"Here's a magic trick for two things: the other side of oblivion and the other side of memory."

"One in two?

"Because you can't use one for those who can't use both. This enchantment has the concept of a key, which can be set when erasing the subject's memory. The person who was given the key regains his erased memory."

"I mean, waiting on that hill, in the third drawer, was that the key to recovering Mr. Khalifa's memory?

That's what I'm talking about.

"Dear Nito, may I have a moment?

Sufilia asked.

"Do you know a land called Sigmadeus, the underworld?

"What's that?"

"This is the divine kingdom we talked about, but now the land has been renamed the Underworld and ruled by a new king."

"A new king?

"The king's name has not been published. The Underworld is riddled with everything."

"... I know you well."

"Thank you. And that's not all."

"Do you still have it?

"Yes. Did Lord Nito know that a new king reigned in Greyberg?

"It's like Patrick said something..."

"I'm Arthur Greyberg. But that's not what I'm trying to say."

"What do you mean?

"It's Guinevia."

"Vinevia?"

"Yes, the name of the reigning king's daughter is Vinevia."

"... but it's not uncommon to have the same name, is it?

"Vinevia is an old name that is not used in modern times."

The air in the living room calmed down.

If it's Guinevere herself, why are you in Greyberg?

No, it's impossible to think of anything as in person.

"It was over 150 years ago, and you can't do that to yourself on a boulder, can you? Speaking of which, Mr. Khalifa, what happened in the dungeon? Old Gert said Zephyr bought it in bulk, but I think I know something about it. Find tons of Old Gerts in places you've occasionally strayed from before..."

"Yes, Old Gert... But make sure it's you with your own eyes. There must be truth in the deepest part of the dungeon. You're a challenger too, aren't you?

Mr. Khalifa seemed to see through something.

When I opened my eyes, it was the White World there.

It seemed to be in a thick fog, and the cloud sea was spreading on one side as I got out of my hand exploration.

"Here..."

I know the landscape.

The sunset is plugged in from under the clouds.

Looking around, I saw the same temple beside me as last time.

"Sorry, call it in"

"No welcome for Shawn, Zephyr"

When I went inside, this also had the appearance of a vengeful god - Zephyr, just like last time.

But there's no sign of Shawn.

"Shawn is gone. Life expectancy had already passed. Nonetheless, I was forced to disconnect the existence that was supposed to disappear... but it was the limit"

I don't know what Zephyr means by words.

"Well, you haven't got that much information yet, have you?"

"Information, what are you talking about?

Zephyr doesn't answer.

"Besides, I met Mr. Khalifa."

Zephyr was openly surprised.

Gradually it gives me a look like I understood something.

"I see, that's what happened..."

"You didn't know I met Mr. Khalifa?

"Oh, sure. Why?"

"Why..."

Last time, Shawn told me as if he knew what was going on with me.

Otherwise you can't tell Toa to give up the Snake Sword Kyrgyzstan.

I mean, these guys, I don't know how much, but they were watching me.

But now, I don't know - that's what I said.

"Can I ask you one thing?

"Hmm?"

"You've been watching me, haven't you? How do you not know that?

"Oh, that's right. Because I'm not watching you anymore."

"I see."

"Instead, if you find out something important, you can notice a little of the change"

"Change?"

"There is all kinds of information in organisms, and experience changes daily. I can sense that you're getting new information. It's incomplete and barely overwhelming."

Does having to use the ability to dare not handle it mean that restraint (,) is stronger than before?

"That's right, I spoke to Mr. Khalifa, what happened in the Reich?

Zephyr's expression was disturbed.

Ruggedly dark, I find it complicated.

"I can't talk about that yet..."

"You've said the same thing before, you can't say it?

"I'll tell you first, I'm not mistaken about the doubts and thoughts you have about me. I lay low before, but I can't leave here."

"Well, if you can get out, you can get out."

"And then I can't give you a lot of information at once. So no further questions, I'll pass on the requirements."

I sigh deliberately.

"I want you to make an object."

"Object?"

"Ask Khalifa and you'll see. Yes, part of my flesh is in the Underworld, yes, tell Khalifa."

"Hey, wait a minute, don't take it personally, I don't know what you're talking about"

"Ask Khalifa what it means. I want you to create another object besides mine."

"One more thing?

- It's mine.

I hear voices from behind the pillars.

"You..."

There was a face I saw.

I remember, this guy...

"Oliver Joe......"

The head of the bandit I killed in Tanya Village - Oliver Joe.

In the Ashes Regiment of Razhausen, he was known both as captain and alias of the ashes.

"Didn't I tell you not to come out?

"You don't listen to people. You're the type."

Oliver slowly packed the distance and looked down at me.

"I remember, I don't feel magic. I thought you were a funny kid. But I didn't think it would be easy to kill."

He showed his octagonal teeth, with a niggling and invincible grin.

"You must be dead, why are you alive..."

"You're not alive. So, you're the one who brought me back to life?

"Oliver, get away from Masamune"

"Heck."

"Masamune, look for the answer yourself. I still didn't know then, but now you have something to feel."

"What do you feel, what are you talking about?

"The other object is Oliver. Needless to say, regarding this guy's flesh. You should ask Khalifa later."

Oliver's body is in the woods near Tanya village.

"Time."

said Zephyr.

I haven't even fallen for the fact that Shawn isn't here yet.

But one thing I know, Zephyr's already dead.

I guess that's what Oliver will do when he's here.

"You don't always answer the key things."

"What do you want me to tell you?

"Oliver!"

"Heck, I get it. Damn, that's a joke, motherfucker."

So I remembered.

"Speaking of which, did you have a wife named Anna?

Soon after, Oliver's red eyes glared at me.

For a moment, I felt chilly...

"What did you say now?

I pretend to be calm.

"Anna's alive, she's back in the Beast Country."

……

"Mr. Arnold told me. The story of being attacked is Anna's lie to protect you from the Beast Nation."

So I was attacked by a feeling I remember.

Sleeper.

Apparently, he wakes up from a dream.

"Masamune, I asked for it. I'm not done yet..."

After the voice, the vision disappears completely.

The last thing I saw was Oliver's upset face.

"So, did you see Zephyr?

If I were to pour in a bite of chocolate milk for breakfast, Mr. Khalifa said.

"It's okay, just eat."

"You knew, that Zephyr would show up?

"Somehow, somehow... So, what was he saying?

I told Mr. Khalifa what happened last night in my dream.

"Yes, Shawn..."

Mr. Khalifa looked shocked once again by Shawn's death.

"Well, what is an object?

"Well, before we talk, do you know what an organism consists of?

"Configuration? No, I don't know"

"It's the first time an organism has existed and its contents, the Body."

"Ha..."

"When you finish your life, your existence first comes out of your body. Soon afterwards, the empty body will have vital information called" Cocoon. "

"Cocoon?"

"Yeah. I mean, the object is magic that uses that cocoon to generate a new body. Unlike restorative magic, it's an advantage to be able to produce precisely and in exactly the same condition. Can we get this far?

"Maybe... But why do you need such magic?

"Well... this is a conundrum, but perhaps he's in a state of existence right now. Your flesh has perished."

"I mean dead..."

"Yeah, I guess so. I don't know what happened, but there's nothing else I can think of."

"One thing I thought, if you had an object, could you possibly be resurrected again and again?

Isn't this what resuscitation magic is about?

"I can't."

But Mr. Khalifa said.

"Because even though it is generated in a complete state, no cocoon resides in the object"

"Really..."

Is Cocoon staying only once in the first flesh?

"You know what I'm saying?

"Yes. But that means that if you die just once, you'll be brought back to life, right?

"That's different, too. Originally, existence is what disappears with the end of life. That's why people don't usually come back to life where they've made a complete body. It's just that there's something new in there."

"Then why is Zephyr..."

"I don't know that either."

Is there any trick to retaining existence?

"By the way, why does Mr. Khalifa know so much about objects, and Zephyr seems to know them too?"

"It was written in that magic book."

"Did you show me yesterday?

"That's right."

"What kind of magic book is that? I know it belongs to people, like Adams."

"Specifically, a book about the abyss, maybe?

"Abyss!?

"But first you have to go to the dungeon."

Mr. Khalifa said in my words.

"You don't deny it, about challenging a dungeon?

"It looks like this, and I'm going to be strong enough to sense your magic, too. Nitto-kun will be fine. He seems pretty strong."

Where the three of us have been awake, the story has been separated.

After breakfast, the time to leave comes.

"If I attack, I'll be back here again. Let me hear more then."

"Of course. But by then, I'm sure I'll have your questions solved."

Faced out the front door, Mr. Khalifa smiled.

"I'm coming!

Nem waves loudly at Mr. Khalifa, and Sufilia gives her a bow of grace.

I noticed a small tall hill outside the town.

Is that the hill?

Even though I didn't remember, the time I spent alone here would have been solitude itself.

Why did Zephyr leave Mr. Khalifa behind?

"Hey, you're not going!

"Not now!

Mind your eyes, Mr. Khalifa, who didn't go out and drop us off from inside the house.

The look on my face at that time made me feel lonely somewhere.
