Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (WN)

There was a shadow of a person walking through the thin misty mountains with a gentle step.

He is a young man holding a girl in one arm.

It's a case entirely. When I look at it from the hat,

Especially since the girl's kimono that can be seen at a glance when it is a first-class product is a lot dirty.It is a diagram of complete human grabbing.

"Should I say it was good in another world?Should I mourn being drawn into another world in the first place..... "

Mr. Endo?

Kosuke murmured a little farther away, but Sunshine (Hinata), who seemed to be well behaved, leaned his neck.

Nothing happened, Kosuke replied with a bitter smile, and he rebuked the situation of Yang Qing that he heard on the way.

"If you realize the dream of rubbing your father and old man against memory loss, you'll be in the mountains, led by a white fox...."

"Yes... I know it's hard to believe..."

"No, I don't doubt it. You told me what happened to me."

"I was in the middle of Chimoto Torii when I was on my study trip and nobody noticed.... it's like a god's hideout. "

"Yeah, so is Sunshine.I don't know why I lost my memory.... "

Kosuke is also talking about some circumstances.Except for the circumstances on the returnee side.

After being left alone in the Chimoto Torii, it takes half a day to continue on the path of the Torii, which is much longer than it is in reality.

The irreplaceable vermilion torii and cobblestones continue unabated.It seems that the fog is not visible outside the Torii, and even if I try to do a special attack, it will return to its original location.

For the first time in a long time, Kosuke felt as if he had heard the sound of his sanity shredded.

(At least if I hadn't disappeared, I could have contacted Emily....)

Should I say, my phone is far out of range.And Emily's body was cut off.

But unfortunately, Emily will not realize the fact for the time being.Because she is now in the boundaries of the King's Tree.

Protected by the magic of the soul that avoids cognitive inhibition and unconsciousness, the magical boundary of space that brings invisibility and spatial separation, it is a realm named Sanctuary in the sense that it is blocked from the outside.

Naturally, as soon as Kosuke's body entered, the connection with the main unit disappeared and was released.So basically, we're waiting in a town outside the forest.

I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a problem... because I just went there a few months ago and it was a first-aid resurrection to save the fairy world, so I haven't been able to do anything about the convenience around it yet.

Incidentally, Emily is in the sanctuary because with the resurrection of the King's Tree, the forest also breathed back, and even revived plants that did not exist, which seemed to be very useful for the study of medicine.

This is because part of Haulia, including Lana, is relocating as a temporary residence.

"I can't leave them in the sanctuary!"

It's Emily's word. The sanctuary could turn into a demon full of lethal traps and cooks.I will protect the precious place of my country!It seems driven by a sense of mission.

Nonsense.

He continued silently without being able to communicate with the outside world, and suddenly went out into the mountains just 30 minutes before he met Sunshine.

And I was able to keep going because there was a "guide".

"I wonder where Sunshine's fox went."

"Mr. Endo led me to the sound of the fox, didn't he?"

"Yeah, it sounds like it's coming from a distance.He never showed me, and I'm not sure I've ever heard the sound of a fox. "

"No, I'm sure it is.The fox must have called Endo for me because I was so tired I couldn't move. "

Sunshine, I'm sure.I don't remember, but from time to time, I judge things strangely and confidently.That's what happens when you trust Kosuke, and now,

"Dear Endo, the direction is off.Could you go a little further to the right? "

Oh.

It's one way to go.

It sounds intuitive. It sounds terribly difficult to put it into words, but it's somehow understood by the sunshine.She still feels the presence of an invisible leader.

(Well, it's obvious that there's a reason, so I guess it's some kind of special child.I don't think I'm lying about memory loss, but I wonder who it is.)

Kosuke strolled through the dark mountains in full view of the sunny ride.You can only see that the path without roads goes down and down the mountain.

I wonder where Sunshine was hidden.

"Isn't that... Fushimi Inari?"

"But wouldn't it be strange if we hadn't made some noise when we came to sightseeing?One girl is missing.But there wasn't a single cop? "

"I've been here, probably for a little while.I see. Isn't it strange that you're not making a scene? "

"Isn't that right?"

Suddenly, Kosuke stopped talking as he was discussing his thoughts.

Stops twitching and the center of gravity drops slightly.

I tried to speak to Endo about what happened, but Yang Qing shook himself and clogged his words.

There are two reasons.

Because I felt something bad behind my back.I think it's still a long way off, but my spine feels cold.

And the other one is,

"... did you stop moving? How's it going?"

Kosuke's expression, which seemed to have detected it as soon as possible, was completely different.

The atmosphere of ordinary high school students disappeared somehow.

If you think it is a wooden sword that is common for souvenirs, it is just a sheath for preparation. Inside, it seems like a famous sword - no, a demonic sword was prepared.

One and two beats and breathtaking tense time passed for the sunshine, and eventually, the unpleasant signs disappeared.

At the same time, the roar rang from afar.

"Sunshine, that's what I heard.I wonder if that's what you call a fox. "

Eh? Ah, yes.

"Looks like you're being reminded.Maybe we should hurry up a little. "

That's right.

The demon sword returned to the mass-produced wooden sword.The average high school student starts walking again with a sigh of "Yes, I'm coming now."

I agree with the sudden change and the sunshine is stunned, so I do my best.

(What the hell are you...)

Doubts and strong interest spring up again into the sunny mind.

He was a really strange man.

I don't know why, but I laugh at the fact that I'm in trouble, and somehow it doesn't seem like I'm in trouble at all.

Even though I felt the horrible signs that I had to have just now, there was no shaking at all and there were no shards such as upset.

I'm not bluffing in front of my children. It's very natural.

However, the sharpness I showed you earlier even felt like I could squeeze up deep inside my heart.

If you think about it carefully, it is not unusual to have a sense of stability as you stroll along the road without a road at night, even though one arm is blocked.

Even though he is an older man, he is still a minor student.

It's like an ancient powerful person who has experienced and survived a shura place called a shura place.

Yang Qing (Hinata) stared at Kosuke's side unconsciously.

"But where does the fox want to take us?"

……

"No, because you led me to Sunshine, do you want to take Sunshine somewhere?"

……

Maybe it's something to do with what I just saw.

……

"Speaking of which, Sunshine.Were you okay back there? You didn't like it very much, did you?... yeah? Yang Qing-chan? "

……

Kosuke, who had been bothered by his reflections, finally noticed the sunshine.

Hold still, that means you're staring so hard that you're opening a hole.

Um, Sunshine?

……

Ooh ~ ~

No response. Very enthusiastic.With one arm hugged, the distance to the face is very close.

The anthropomorphized, limb-growing case is approaching...

Kosuke grabbed Yangqing with both hands and raised his head.I shake it up and down a bit.Are you hungry?

So the sunshine returned to me, and I realized my condition, and it became like I was baking again.

"What are you doing?"

"Yes, no, I didn't react, so if I shake it, will it come back?"

"It's not a broken machine."

Nevertheless, it was a fact that it had been ignored.It is my duty to be rude. "I was thinking.I'm sorry, "said Yang Qing.With plenty of beautiful eyelashes sifting down and trembling, it's a little bit too much to look pretty.

Kosuke leaned his neck after switching to a one-arm hug again.

"Thinking?"

"Yes, because Endo-sama is so tactful, it's really niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiAre they just students? "

"Hey, am I that suspicious?"

Kosuke's eyes are dying rapidly.Sunshine shook her hands in agony.

"Oh, excuse me. What do you say? Even if the fox is watching you lead somewhere, it seems like you're going to lose sight of it, but somewhere Endo feels it...."

"That's right... I'm sorry..."

Kosuke's presence is disturbing.It's going to disappear like ashes exposed to the wind and harassment.

The intention to follow became a chase, and Yang Qing-chan said, "My idiot!"Cover your face with both hands.But the sunshine was still a good little girl.

After a beat, he said with his hand to Kosuke's arm that supported him.

"Mr. Endo said he was a hero, and he must have overcome something that no normal student would ever experience.I think it's very reliable that you don't panic even under these circumstances. "

"Ah, yeah. Thank you? I mean, Sunshine, you're smart."

"... it's a little complicated when you treat a child like that."

It was definitely a child... but it was definitely a childish place to finally see your lips pointing slightly recklessly.

And while we were talking about it, there was a change around us.

Has the fog cleared up?

Moonlight often passes through the mountains.The brightness increases and the surrounding situation is better understood.

"... nnhh, Endo Sensei"

The sun cleared up.She has a small wrinkle between her eyebrows and has a sharp expression.

"What's the matter? Ah, not the toilet. If you're picking flowers."

"No."

It was returned sharply. Small and very lady.I'm sure you mean delicate.

Nevertheless, I can appreciate the aggressiveness of the oblates.I'm sure it's just an education per Emily.Anyway, Emily is a child who has been doing it many times in front of Kosuke.

"I don't like it."

"... I don't feel anything in particular."

"Not around you, but perhaps... there are some undesirable signs ahead, and I feel that way."

Did the fox trick you?

"No, I thought so."

I'm sure I know, but I still want to take Sunshine with me.

There will be no malice or harm there. Because it was necessary.

"... well, I can't just sit still."

"Be careful, Mr. Endo.... just in case, please prioritize yourself.Unlike me, Endo certainly has friends and family to wait for. "

Kosuke glanced slightly at Yangqing (Hinata), who showed his readiness expression.

After all, it's not just a girl.Normally, it's scary and stubborn.Even adults.

It is more concerned with others than it is with itself, and with whom it has just met.

What kind of environment does it take to grow up in such a strong child?

Anyway, he's a good kid. Very good.

In a situation like this, where no one knows, it's not like a child can die.

That's why

"I'm sorry, I can't do that. It's a consultation."

Clearly, I refuse Sunshine's suggestion.

"There are people waiting for Sunshine.My dream father did, and I'm sure there's a lot more. "

"Maybe so... but if the fox brought Endo here for me, it's like I'm involved.Study trips may have been interrupted by Endo's absence.I should have been able to make important memories..... "

Kosuke looked distant in the sunshine as he lowered his shoulders in an apologetic manner.

"It's okay. It's okay. I'm not worried about you."

Endo-sama?

"No, it's not like I'm old enough to look at the world diagonally.... because I don't have a presence, I don't think they even noticed that I'm gone. "

"That's not true....."

While saying that, Yang Qing-chan's words stopped.After all, it was a fact that I thought there was no sense of existence like a fox.

"My name is Kosuke Endo. A man who is not called by his first name in the confirmation of attendance, and is called to say that he does not have enough days to attend even though everyone is on duty.I was left behind when I left for this school trip! "

"Ahhh!? Endo-sama is getting even worse!?Your eyes are dead!?Please be careful! "

"That's why Sunshine doesn't care.Everyone will be enjoying sightseeing as usual, forgetting my presence! "

"Don't cry, Endo-sama!"

Yang Qing-chan gently wipes Kosuke's cheeks with loose and sad shizukuri on the sleeves of her kimono.And then he strokes my head to comfort me with a good boy.

"Anyway, don't worry about me.You don't have to feel responsible, and I won't leave you.I can't do that horrible thing. "

"Is it scary?"

Is there anything more frightening than the unpleasant signs you felt earlier or the situation you will be waiting for?Kosuke laughed in the sunshine tilting his head.

Such a bitter smile, such a proud smile, such a troubled smile, such a happy smile.

"I can't believe I abandoned my child and ran away... my people are disappointed."

That's, above all, the scariest thing in the world.

I want to be Kosuke Endo, whose people are always proud of.

I want to be able to cheer my friends and loved ones at all times.

Yes, it conveys extraneous thoughts.

"... you're such a lovely friend."

"Some people are scared in other ways."

Fufu

The tension subsided and the sunshine burst into laughter.

At the same time, the vision cleared up at once, and a vermilion torii appeared unexpectedly in front of the two.

Strangely enough, the other side of Torii can't see the darkness.

But from the back of the torii, the squeaky fox rang.

Kosuke and Yang Qing looked at each other and took a beat.He nodded to each other and walked around Torii.

"Where are we?"

Looks like a shrine somewhere.

Torii was far from the grounds of an old shrine.Yashiro is about to collapse, and the ground is cracked and rough.

Looking back, there was a large torii.It's not like I can't see the back as before.As you've come round here, you can see the other side of the road, not the mountains, but the similarly desolate roads, a few trees, and wooden houses.

Obviously, the mountain was a completely different place.

"What a disgusting sky....."

"The color of the sunset is a little too red."

Rather than "burning", it is an empty pattern that should be described as "crushed in vermilion".The dark clouds also relaxed, and the air itself seemed to be contaminated with smog, and it seemed to stick to the skin.

"Cune"

Oops!?

"Ah, fox!"

As if it had just appeared, there were signs a little farther away, and the tree spirit rang.

Turning his gaze in haste, there was a white fox.

The fact that the pure white fur line is wrapped in a light of the same color, I see, there is a sacred atmosphere so that Yangqing (Hinata) can trust it for the time being.

"Eh, you're the fox that brought me in, right?"

Kosuke took a step and walked towards the White Fox, anxious whether the words would make sense.

instantaneously,

Cu!?

Mr. Whitefox, I'm leaving with all my might!It was a clean back step.

Yes, it looks like I got close to something terrible and ran away in a hurry...

His golden eyes, as if they were a photograph of the Moon, also look scared.I'm pregnant with fear, and I'm only watching Kosuke.If you lose your eyes, you're dead! That's all I'm saying.

Kosuke was stiffened.

Kosuke and White Fox stared at each other.

Hirosuke and White Fox looked at each other as if Sunshine were confused.Then, when I gently stepped off Kosuke's arm, I took a gentle distance,

"... human?"

and murmured.

"What a human being. That's how it's supposed to be...."

Kosuke seems to have lost a little confidence.I sit triangularly and bury my face in my lap.

The sunshine that approached you was getting a little scary, but don't look at your head again.

"Cumming, cumming"

Mr White Fox also walked in.Never try to get closer to Kosuke than a certain distance, but somehow he looks sorry.

"Fox, did you bring me here?Do you know why I don't remember and what happened? "

……

The white fox answered nothing.But they probably couldn't answer that.

Trying to convey something, but seeing them wandering around.

Instead, the white fox turned to the torii.

Sit there, swing your tail, twice.

The golden eyes were full of reason, and I knew that I wanted to convey them without words.

Mr. Endo

Oh, he's still on his way.

After overcoming the grief of being treated by outsiders and girls, Kosuke stood up.

Let the sunshine sit on one arm again, and leave the old grounds behind while the white fox invites you.

In addition to worrying about Kosuke's behavior, he often follows the lead white fox while never approaching more than a certain distance to follow the rough path.

Beyond the jungle,

"Ah, what are you doing here..."

Kosuke and the others took a breath.

What I saw was a large vermilion gate.The architectural style is often seen in the temple temple Buddhist temple in Japan.From there, the walls run long and long to the left and right.

It was still old and decaying, but there was also a view of the city behind it.It's all wooden, tall buildings.The street is surprisingly wide.

It's like a long time ago in Japan....

"I think I've seen it in a movie or something.Looks like Heiankyo.... "

Whatever impression he had, Kosuke took a defensive stance in an instant at the signs of overflowing surroundings.

"Dear Endo, there are countless similar signs! Be careful!"

The warning of sunshine flies when a beat is delayed.

Immediately afterwards, the vermilion gates, the walls, the groves behind them, and the left and right streets were overflowing with aliens on the other side of the gate.

From beast-shaped, human-shaped, or just like a barrel, that wraps up something like a light black barrel.

"Hey, what's going on?Why are they here? "

Mr. Endo?

The look that I recognize is also flickering.Yang Qing stared at Endo with a dry laugh as if he was confused.

The little hand grabbed Kosuke's collar.My body is trembling and my face is pale.Even a steadfast child is afraid of what is afraid of.

Anyway, the moment of engraving and surrounding Kosuke and others,

"Oh, my God. This is the Heavenly River case."

Yes, because it was a group of fairies - a group of demons.

"Hey, fox. Is this fairy world?"

……

The white fox shook his head loosely.I still understand words.

Then, go ahead in a hurry and look back and invite with your gaze.

"Mr. Endo, they're not coming near us."

"... that's right."

"... just like the fox, he seems to be watching out for Endo."

"... yeah, that's right."

"..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................."

"Because I'm human! You don't have to stick that in there!?"

"I'm sorry too....."

Sunshine seems to be very concerned about whether she is human or not.

Anyway, at first glance, it is said to be wrapped up in something like a careless eye, and it is said to be a killer eye, no matter how you look at it, the words don't make sense.

It is a situation very similar to that of a mad demon flowing to the source stream seen in the fairy world.

Still, why is Kosuke so vigilant that he doesn't get any closer than a certain amount? To the extent that instinctive crisis consciousness works, is it better than the demons of the fairy world?

(Even if you hide it, you seem to recognize it normally... is it because of Yang Qing-chan or a white fox?)

While thinking about it, Kosuke shook his head and opened his mouth.

"You're still gathering more and more.Some of them are going to be forced.Sunshine, hold on tight.Fox, I'm coming with you, so you can run. "

Yang Qing clung to Kosuke's neck, and a white fox nodded.

While being careful not to let a white fox emerge from the area where the demons avoided Kosuke, Kosuke also ran out to slip.

Run through the vermilion gates and through the vast boulevards at once.

It is spectacular inside that the demons that are overflowing with the current form of progress divide into left and right like Moses' sea divide.

The white fox looks back over her shoulders.It seemed like I was making sure it was okay even at this speed.

"It is unclear how long the effect of the 'Me Boundary' will last.Fox, you can fly more.Shortcuts are fine if people can get through! "

"Cumming!"

Kosuke, who seems to have room, looks slightly surprised.Then I gradually increased my speed, but Kosuke followed me perfectly without breaking a certain distance.And the amazing white fox again. It's already as fast as the Olympic short-distance runners.

Then, this time, I jumped over the hedge of the building to the right.

Kosuke also jumped on without danger.

Stay on the roof. They also use trees and hedges.

However, Kosuke will never be late.There's still room for that look.

"Wow, wow, Mr. Endo!"

"Because you're human, right?"

Like a quick and light worker, Sunshine (Hinata) shows off a good start to the year.

Later, a group of demons like the black turbidity followed or accompanied them.....

And at that time, finally appeared.Hirosuke didn't shy away, but someone came to attack.After all, I have seen in the fairy world - a shadow like a raven Tengu.

The moment I jumped off the roof, I started a descent assault.

So, slightly change the fall speed with the recoil that raised the leg, and avoid it by stepping on the back of the raven Tengu while twisting.

"He's not human, he's not human!I landed near a white fox with a faint expression.Keep running as if nothing had happened.

"It's no longer a human move!"

"Didn't I say so on purpose!?"

Where will the horrors go?Sunshine, who is as smiling as a child enjoying her first jet coaster, still has a liver.

Also, do you really want Kosuke to be treated as an outsider....

And then...

A roar like a nose scream can be heard from there for a dozen minutes running through the old and abandoned city.

The place I saw was also unusual.

"Ha? Harumi Shrine!?"

What I saw was the place I wanted to stop by at free time.

What is strange is that even though the surrounding atmosphere is peaceful and moody, it was the only modern Shining Shrine that I saw in the guidebook.Of course, it's not decaying.

I don't know anymore! Even as she screamed in her heart, the white fox jumped into the torii and penetrated into the grounds.

I wonder if the effectiveness of the sense of repudiation is diminishing, or if the devil of the great serpent and monkey that jumped from the left and right of the torii is attacking.

Kosuke also entered the inner part of the torii while avoiding them with the sliding instructions.

Suddenly, the demons who were following collided against the invisible wall on the other side of the torii.

What kind of boundaries?

You can't come in.

A white fox cries from the back of the grounds.

Kosuke and the others moved into the back while being wary of the demons who seemed to resent Torii.

Modern Harumi Shrine has a road between a torii and the Shijin Gate, which leads to the precincts, and suddenly stepping on asphalt, even though it has been a stripped road to the ground, makes me feel strange.

Nevertheless, the two ends of the road are cut in the same vicinity as the precincts, and the ground is facing from there.

Apparently, the shrine is even more different in this world.

Going to the back, the white fox gazed at the sunshine as if it were relieved.

Kosuke gently lowers the sunshine.

"You still wanted me, didn't you, fox?"

The silent affirmation came back.

"I don't remember.What should I do.... "

No way, it's not sacrifice, is it?

Kosuke's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at the white fox.Mr. White Fox, he shook his head with momentum.Then he appeals to come near the sunshine with his gaze.

Originally, there were no fences where tourists visited, and the road to the main hall in the back continued.

The air suddenly changed as I got in there.

In a word, it's pure.The air intake is surprisingly delicious.It seemed to be washed from the inside of the lungs.

Stairs and stage-like places in front of you.Behind it is a place like an altar where two foxes sat down.

So the white fox turned to Kosuke.

"Do you think I've come this far?"

That's what it looks like. In front of the stairs, Sunshine looked up at Kosuke with a little anxiety.

"It's okay. I don't know what's going on, but I can take Sunshine and run away with it all."

"... yes, Mr. Endo"

With his shoulders slightly relaxed, Yang Qing showed a steadfast expression.

Pull your chin, pinch your spine out, and slowly go up the stairs.

Then he confronted the deepest white fox.

"Dear Fox, I don't know why you called me here, but if it suits your purpose, can you put me and Endo back where they came from?"

"... chun"

The white fox nodded, although he seemed to have said something.

So I suppose the last fear has been wiped out.Sunshine sat and meditated in the middle of the stage in a beautiful way.

Shortly afterwards, a different squeal was emitted from the white fox.

A stronger glow is emitted from the white fox.As I thought, the figure disappeared as particles of light, poured into the sunshine as if it were a stream of rivers.

Intense light shines out from the sun.

Kosuke glanced at the event he visited.

I saw it in a dazzling light.The long black hair of Yangqing (Hinata) dyed white, and at the end of the quote, it slightly jumped out to the fox ear and tail.

But I didn't have time to mention it.

――

Sunshine sang something.Shortly afterwards, the pillars of light struck the heavens.A rippling light spreads into the sky like a red, crushed sky or dark cloud.

So...
