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

Rain.

The only sights of it visible from the front gate of the town are the blackburned houses and the wreckage of the building. Rain is causing water vapour and smoke, as well as scorching odors such as corpses, household goods and timber, all over town. They mixed with the rain and emitted a strange odor that pierced his nose.

Nem was walking through town with Tobotobo, with his hazy, vibrant, unseemly eyes, whining bumps and powerless words.

"Mother... Father... Tote..."

Nem searched for his mother and father, not even looking at the smelly town where he could burn, getting wet with the rain.

I can never say I'm fortunate to be unhappy, but Nem learned magic sensation with this one incident.

"Tote..."

I don't even feel Trish's magic. This town has no more magic for anyone. Nem pretends he knows it but doesn't. No information, no emotions. The body was here, and the feet moved toward the thing they sought, but the consciousness seemed to be elsewhere.

And Nem followed him before his eyes. Before the wreckage of my mother and father...

……

Surrounded by rubble, debris from homes, etc., it escaped being painfully underlayed, but what was there were several burned and missing bodies of the body.

Nem knelt before him as he was struck by a tragic rain, taking the hands of his mother and father. It's getting cold now, those hands that won't move...

"Mother... Father... shouldn't Nem?

The rain hits the hand that connects the two and Nem, erasing the whisper.

"Because Nem hasn't made me a good girl...... so no?

Then I buried my face in both hands.

"I'm a good girl! You also practice your cat fists properly! Not just meat. They also eat the vegetables properly! So! … so…"

Nem sued. But I can't hear anything there but the sound of rain.

Glowing blue stones in the distance. "The Crystal of Anor's Light." But I can see it from the gap. The rubble is covered on top and cannot be picked up by Nem.

"Mother!

Nem screamed many times.

"Father!"

Until I felt better...... one day, "Nem" again, I called two people over and over hoping they could call me names. But no matter how much you scream, no matter how many tears you shed, you just lose sight of it, and no one reaches out to Nem.

I can't tell which one is real, it's like my feet aren't on the ground, that feeling. His head and vision are blurred, the sound caged, and his feet flutter when he stands up.

When he noticed, Nem was walking out, after the two carcasses, on the road he came again, passing the main gate, leaving town one by one. No one conceals himself in "The Robe of Hidden Bodies" and realizes the presence of Nem.

Where is Nem headed? But Nem himself doesn't know that. Nem doesn't have much more ahead of him. - I don't have a way out. This path runs everywhere, but there is no 'way' to a nem like you are moving your feet unconsciously. Heavy rain cools Nem's body, but there is no white breath in the clear air. Nem had disappeared completely. Like you're not here anymore, like yourself.

How much time has passed since then? Nem, who kept walking, leads to an unknown town when the rain stops and the sky brings back sunny weather. It's an abandoned town where all kinds of races meet. It is a lawless zone where the savages roam and the vagabonds drift.

Orphans and adults with the same eyes as Nem come into view when they walk through town. Everyone sits on their feet, hanging on corners and walls of buildings and streets. Those eyes only look at the ground. I don't know where I'm looking, even if I have eyes for it. Those are the people.

Then Nem, who was looking around, hits someone.

"Ugh!"

Nem was bounced back and then buttocks on the spot.

"Oh? What?

This' hidden robe 'but you can't hide completely. There is a weakness in being sensed by the subject when contacted.

The person Nem bumped into was a big people man. Then the human looked down at Nem, staring still on that ferocious surface scratched by the skinhead.

"What the hell? Who the hell showed up?

But unfortunately, the man seemed to understand. When Nem saw that robe around him, a man's inquiry worked.

"Hey, is that a cognitive inhibitory robe? Don't you have a big one?

A man who gropes and pulls a robe from a nem. Nem resisted, but was easily taken away.

"Ha ha! This is awesome! You can sell this for a lot of money!

Demonic props of perception inhibition were very expensive. That's not the kind of substitute you can buy at Chen's shop around here.

"I'm giving it back! That's my mother's! ……

But when he uttered the word "mother," Nem's emotions stopped. Then the nem stops moving as if it had been switched off.

"Oh? It's my mother. Ah? This is mine now! If you want it, take it. Are you all chickens?

But Nem doesn't move.

"Ha! What is this guy? Aren't you dead?

The man was blind to Nem, the White Cat clan, and left with Robe as he was. All that remained was a man's high laugh and a lost heart, Nem.

Those around them bare beside such a nem, and there is no one to speak to.

After a while, Nem returns to me as if he was angry. And you realize the robe's gone. But no matter how much I look around, I can't find my robe.

But Nem must know. I know, but I don't know. Serena and Raven, even if it's Trish's death. Nem knows. I remember it. But I don't remember. It's just the consciousness I remember or somewhere else, and only convenient memories that don't remind me of my grief were there.

But this is not like amnesia. Because Nem remembers. Nem responds to the evidence in words that revive the events of that rainy day when the tragedy by Uranos took place.

"This is bullshit!

Then in front of Nem, a little fat man appeared. Black bondage-style trousers with faded rat-colored short sleeve jacket. The remarkable man with the inert beard, when he saw Nem, let his eyes shine, and looked as excited as he had found a treasure.

"The White Cats! That's still young, too! You can sell this to the nobles at high prices! Hey, you guys! Get this guy!

Then would it be a man's men? Two men with flesh of flexion appear there. Bondage-style black pants similar to those of a man, with enlarged and raised muscles on his upper body. And short, shaved hair.

Then I set my aim on Nem, two slowly approaching. Nem, who was regaining consciousness, alerted the two and fisted reflexively.

"What is it, miss? You're gonna do it with me?

"Grow up, will you? Are you in pain?

To pay attention to the left and right, from the two men who pack the distance one by one, thus the nem who takes the distance.

At that time, they rushed in to cover Nem at the same time. But apparently Nem saw the movement.

Nem stepped back and took a distance with a quick move and went back to strike without letting it go.

"[Cat Wind Anger (Cat Food)]!"

A two-handed cat fist. Nem grabbed the two fists and hit them as hard as he could against the faces of the two men. That little fist, which struck directly, impacted the two of them with an unlikely force.

Two blowing out loud and backward. Two people who pass directly next to a little fat guy who supposedly has a head, and then get slapped to the ground. He apparently passed out because of a strong blow to his head.

"Oh! What are you guys doing!

Then the indignant little fat man. But Nem turned a blind eye to such a man, and immediately departed.

"Ah! Hey, wait!

But it doesn't sound like Nem.

"Shit! Those are the top balls, they definitely sell high. More powerful next time...... right? Should we even hire a killer?

Little fat man sidelined the two men who would fall, resenting something from the good as he said such a thing.

"I'll never let you get away with this."

The man had a nibbling, invincible grin with his giraffed eyes.

When Nem left Anor Feria, a few days later, a painting of this town showed Minerva, the new king of beasts, reigning in the kingdom of beasts. Minerva stands still wet, exposed to pounding rain. In front of me were Serena and Raven, the remains of two people.

When he arrived in this town, Minerva's expression was marked by despair, sadness and later anger.

Minerva immediately searched for his sister Serena and Raven, as well as Nem. Though I've only met Trish, Raven's mother, a few times, Minerva was desperate to find a family.

Minerva lifts the rubble, sometimes magically blows it away, one in a heartbreak, and keeps searching. But she knew. I don't feel magic in this town. - I knew that there was not one living thing. Even if you look around, all you see is rubble, debris, and corpses. Minerva could not stop that hand and foot, knowing.

It's just that maybe he escaped the Ulanos raid and evacuated out of town. But Uranos said. - He killed Serena. That's why Minerva needed to know for sure. That there are no bodies for everyone...

"Nem! Serena! Raven! Trish!

Running around a town without magic, Minerva asks aloud. But no reply. There was a degree of rain and the occasional sound of a collapsing building.

But Minerva found it at the end of the search. - Two people lying surrounded by rubble.

Minerva knelt like he was out of strength, taking the two hands gently. Time went by and that hand, which was already cold, told Minerva of the deaths of two people who had already passed.

No matter how many tears you shed, they never come back. Minerva is too sad to accept the appearance of his sister in front of him, and he stares away again, still keeping Serena's hands open.

And look into the sky, into the vicinity where the tragedy took place, and look nowhere at Nem.

"Nem...... nem ooh!

I scream in my withered voice with tears, but my voice still never returns.

Then, under a slightly remote rubble, I found something that reflected blue. Minerva rises and then walks out towards the rubble.

Play up debris with your cat fist and magically remove it with the wind attribute. Then there, the 'Crystal of the Light of Anor' was falling, shining, albeit exposed to rain.

"Nem......"

Minerva picks it up, takes it, confirms it on the palm of his hand.

(... definitely. Serena gave it to Nem)

It's a light you can't possibly see wrong. It shines everywhere, just the light itself. That's why Serena gave Nem this pendant because she wanted it to shine like this ore, no matter how painful it might be.

There's Nem around...

Minerva, so intuitive, avoided the debris in front of him and then searched desperately for Nem. But I don't see Nem anywhere, no matter how much I look. And over time, it meant, at the same time, Nem's death.

The next day, and also the next, Minerva runs around town, desperately looking for Nem. There was a figure of Trish, Raven's mother. But no matter how long, no matter how much you look for him, there's nothing but Nem.

But Minerva knew.

Minerva knew how many people there were in this town. Most of them disappeared and were found in good and missing condition. Serena, Raven, etc. are still better off. Because my body stayed clean.

Thinking about it, I also nodded that Nem wasn't there. Minerva kept looking for it without saying anything for a few days.

It stopped raining and there was sunny weather.

Minerva, debilitated, was no longer able to see hope through his own speculation. Because it is the events of these last few days and the sight that is spreading in front of us that is the truth, the hope that Nem is alive, etc., is a fantasy and a delusion. Minerva now knew that already. Minerva stopped looking.

Minerva then returned to the country, with Serena and Raven and Trish, who were taken by the soldiers of the Beast Country who had arrived in the town and had nothing more to talk about; the three were buried in the land of the Beast Country.

The people will not remain silent, such as burying those who are human beings in the Beast Nation. But the present king is Minerva, and all authority lies with Minerva. Besides, most of the people are no longer left in the Beast Nation. Young people and men, in particular, have all been taken to the empire.

And this one thing by the Empire, but this won't let the world know. Nothing could resist Minerva more than what Uranos had made an oral ban. Of course, information leaks a lot. Such things also happened easily, especially in countries with shallow days like the Empire. The result is the words of demonic correspondent Francesca, "The Empire is catching the Beast Man," or Tom, the dwarf of Enumasan, "Apparently the White Cats have been taken to the Empire".

Then until a few years later, that is, until Minerva tells Nito about this one thing in this way, the reality of the empire will not be revealed.

A few days later, when Nem woke up, it was on a rattled, rocking carriage as he proceeded through Hirono.

In front of me was a woman dressed in a monastic garment.

Nem doesn't know. Why am I here?

(Sure... fly out of that barbaric town, then...)

"You were down, were you?

Then the woman beside him spoke that way.

"Um, you?

I run an orphanage, Sister.

"Sister?"

Apparently, the woman in this monastic outfit is a Sister.

"The... what is this place?

I don't know this situation any better than that, Nem, what do you mean you were down?

"More than that, you're hungry, aren't you? I'm sure you haven't eaten anything in a long time, come on - take this."

Then what you see in the wrap Sister gave you is meat.

……

Nem breathed when he saw the meat. Apparently, Sister's right, she's pretty hungry.

But Nem suspected. He jumped outside, suddenly got mugged, and next he grabbed a crowd. The stolen robe thing is directly connected to the mother's memory, so it won't be in her head anymore, but still only the senses remain as emotions.

"See? Don't hesitate, because this is for you"

Sister smiles softly at Nem like that half frightened.

Then Nem, hesitating to hold the meat, slowly took it to his mouth and took a bite peeking into Sister's complexion. Sister smiles happily when she sees it.

When I noticed, a glimmer of tears conveyed Nem's cheek.

Nem that relieves tension and eats on meat. You wanted to reassure me against such a nem, smiling Sister. Nem rubbed his nose and cheeked the meat as he wiped his tears.

"By the way, may I ask your name?

Nem stares out the window like he's finished eating meat and lost his strength. Then Sister asks.

"Nem... it's Nem"

You're still nervous, Nem told him so hesitantly.

"Yes, Nem, right?

He just said he said his name, but smiled happily, Sister. Nem looked strangely at Sister's face like that.

But from Nem's eyes staring at Sister, suddenly, tears fall again.

- Nem... I love you.

I see Serena smiling nicely as she dries the selection.

(Mother......)

- Nem, don't ask for your mother.

That's the last time I saw Raven's smile. The sadness is a hidden expression.

(Father......)

- It's Nem's favorite meat today!

When I opened the door to the house, he looked like Trish, who always cooked and waited for me.

(Tote…)

- Nem, now Nem is a warrior too!

Finishing her cat fist training, Minerva looks satisfied with a grin.

(Meemi......)

When Sister called him "Nem," Nem only saw for a moment the family he loved there.

But when he shakes his head gently, he immediately erases the footage from his head and enters the back of his mind. Then the gaze was also looking across the window with nothing.

Wipe the tears, still wipe the overflowing tears, and Nem wipes those happy days away from his head with that flowing view. - To live.

"Duh, where are you going?

Then Nem asks to be deluded.

I guess I've seen many orphans before. Sister didn't know exactly what Nem was like, but she seemed to have guessed. He has such a sweet look.

"Razhausen."

"Raz, Haussen? What is it?

"Razhausen, the king's capital, is the most peaceful country on this Banome continent. There's an orphanage there. I'm sure Nem will get used to it."

Even if you say that now, Nem doesn't know what you're talking about. I don't know those words, like an orphanage.

But time passes, and the carriage proceeds to the king's capital.

By the way, what is Nem thinking now?

It was Serena who told everything and entrusted Nem to Minerva, but Nem is now on his way to Razhausen. Wouldn't Nem be willing to meet Minerva?

But it's not. Nem was now in a state of instability. If you remember even one face of your family, that routine is remembered in chains, and at the end of the day it leads to a tragic rain.

Again, I remember, but I don't.

It's a simple story, Mimi in Nem, is Mimi and not Minerva. Nem only knows Mimi's name. And there's no Mimi here. I don't even know where I can go to see him.

Or if you tell Sister, you'll be able to go to the Beast Country. But besides not knowing what to say, there was only a lot of cross-sectional information in the Nem.

In the first place, Nem's home is Anor Feria, not the Beast Nation. Nem didn't even have the idea of a beast country.

But as Serena told me at the end, 'your husband' will show up before Nem one day.

Whoever covers himself in the dark past, rescues him from the immediate tranquillity he occasionally follows, and sends him to Minerva, will surely appear one day.

- Nem and Raven, let's have dinner, shall we?

But deep down in Nem's heart, there is still that day, that routine. Serena calls out, "Let's have lunch," and then Nem is taken by Raven, all together and into the house.

Oh no... that's all the memories of every day in Nem.

- I don't want to!

Then Nem jumped with a smile with Nico, saying so as usual. Nem still surrounds the table and laughs, watched by Serena and Raven.

In dreams.
