Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (WN)

"I was wondering if you were okay."

In the living room of the ice mansion, the bell murmured with a worrying voice as she sat on the couch. The gaze is wandering through the void, and the meaning is not clear from the subject-mattered words.

Hence, Kaori, also sitting on the couch, asked frankly.

"Against what?" Are you okay?

"Uh-huh? All of it, I guess. Also, Nagumo, why don't you guys go down? Like, can we really go back to Japan? Or is Mitsuhei-kun okay? Like... in the demon realm we're going to..."

Apparently, there's nothing to do in a situation where you can just rest your body, and for that matter, you think of it as a lot.

Approximately two hours have passed since Hajime and the others began to cage in one of the mansions to create artifacts with conceptual magic for their return. Including the time between Hajime and Yue fainting would be quite resting, so he should have recovered considerably. I guess that spare time makes you think of something extra.

"Bell...... I'm fine. Hajime is someone who will eventually overcome any difficulty, and if Yue is there beside him, he will make it impossible."

"Kaolin......"

"Besides, the thing about Hikaru is that Hikaru himself has to do something about it. Of course, I can help as much as I can. The thing about Eri...... yeah, let's just not dare, think about storming! Nothing else, and I'm just tired of thinking about it."

The bell blew out unexpectedly to the great cluttered encouragement of how brave it was.

"Ka, kaolin...... pup, man too much. Nagumo-kun has totally affected you."

"No, you're not, Bell. Kaori has been around for a long time, and if she decides to do this, she will most likely storm. Kaori's decision is 90% to be concluded in the assault."

"Both Suzuki and Shizukuishi are terrible. Then I'm not like Ryutaro-kun..."

"Hey, Kaori. How can you be" terrible "like me? Do you realize how insignificant the curse is? Here."

Ryutaro, plain poisoned, gets a sinister look, but nobody cares. Kaori pointed her lips like a little obstinate, but as soon as she regained her mind, she squeezed her fist and looked straight at the bell.

"Anyway, I don't know what's going to happen to Eri, but at least I won't let you do it. I'll follow you, too, and if you have to, you just need to take it apart and run away while you're confused."

Kaori said something rash and horrible, but the bells passed distracted by another word. A bell that squeezed my eyes as I was surprised confirms the appearance of a snack.

"Uh, Kaolin's coming with you?

"Of course I do. I can't leave Suzuki and Shizukuishi alone."

"But Hajime..."

"That's the same as Shizukuishi. It's been a while since I've been away, and I'm fine. Besides, there's nothing I can do to help you, even if I'm around, like create an anti-subpoena artifact or welcome Mu and Remia. Then I think it's my job to protect the bells."

"Ugh, kaolin... yeah kid or homma yeah kid. Oh my goodness."

"Bell, why Kansai Valve?

To Kaori's words, the bell jokes and says thanks while deliberately wiping his eyes. It was a little hard to give back seriously.

"If you have Kaori, you'll be fine.... Hmm, before you go to your husband's world, do you want your concubine to be one of your greetings? I didn't come out on a mission."

"Oh, speaking of which, Mr. Tio, were you under a clan fate? I usually forgot about that setup."

"Shea... don't say setting. You want to see Lord Cam and the others, too?

"Right. Even so, in my case, there's an artifact for space transfer over there, so I can get there right away... but Tio's hometown was definitely all the way across the mountain zone to the north - an island outside the continent."

Shea tilts her neck as she explores her memory. There is also a desire to have Tio say goodbye to his family as he leaves this world, but it can take too long if he is too far apart.

"Uhm. Well, it sure is... If I get a little love (punishment) from your husband before I leave, I'll figure it out. Speed's doubling! You can go home at the gate.

"... a fellow countryman who came home worn out with a trance look on his face for some reason... it must be a shock. My dear family, I hope you don't panic."

The other members as well as Shea took a slight distance to Tio, who smiled with Nitanita imagining Hajime's munchies of love. Something disgusting, even if you know it, is disgusting.

Seeing Tio become like someone else when he left, how would everyone in the Clarus clan react... Imagining that, Shea sighed that Hajime should take responsibility and pick up Tio and even greet your family with a concomitant greeting.

and, at that time, the door of the living room opened with a noise, not least.

"You were here..."

"Oh, Kohinoo. You woke up. How are you feeling?

It was the glow that came in. He woke up and came looking for other members.

Shizuku, for a moment, turned a probing glance, but immediately asked her how she was feeling, hiding her vigilance in a smile, and Shizukumi smiled back in the same way. But that look looks like a shadow.

"I'm fine. Sorry, I was worried."

"That's not true now. If you're safe, that's fine."

"Oh, it looks like we're back together."

"Really, good."

Shizuku and others delighted with the safety of Kwanghui. When Kwong Hui smiled again, he glanced inside the room like he was looking for someone. The look gradually strengthens as if it were coming with tension. Kaori, who I perceived looking for, replied with a bitter laugh.

"Hajime won't be here because he's caged in another room now, will he?

"Huh... right.... I wanted to apologize for the inconvenience..."

Apparently, it doesn't seem like when you run wild in a room of trials, you go wild resenting Hajime. The mental state seems to be relatively calm. Either that or you might be more right to be depressed than to say you're calm.

"I don't think Mr. Hajime cares about anything, do you? I don't think I'm asking for any more apologies or anything if I don't get rampant."

"Shea,.... maybe, but I figured,"

A glow with a toothless, bitter running look. In fact, Hajime was not particularly concerned because it was troublesome and annoying about the glittering rampage, but vice versa, that was all. When I said it, I felt like I had been hit with a pokapoka punch by a child who had a seizure.

I'm sure I came towards you with the intention of killing, but it was that that was the foolish action for Hajime today to do something that would hurt Kaori (and then Shizukumi) by giving precedence to his principles of action. At least, while I could afford it and without much effort, I intend to be strong enough to carry that amount of trouble.

"Looks like you're back to sanity. Or do you still think Nagumo is brainwashing us?

Shizukuishi asks in a harsh voice with her eyes slightly narrowed. Kwong Fai's safety and rampage are separate issues. As Shizuku, who knew it was for their own good that Hajime had not been targeted for murder, he was not going to allow the outburst twice.

After harsh voices and glances from Shizukuishi, Gwanghui glanced away. But I won't allow Shizukuishi to be so sweet.

"Shining, don't turn your eyes away"

"Huh... ah.... I don't think so anymore. At that time, something really went wrong..."

Gwanghui replied, looking firmly back at Shizuku, though with a shadowy expression. For a while, Shizuku looks back into the eyes of Ji and Guanghui. I guess I'm going to explore its true meaning from my eyes. That was the same for Shizukuishi as well as Shia and the others.

Eventually, it was difficult to say completely, but Shizuku nodded, showing a sense of satisfaction.

"Yes. Fine then.... Gwanghui. Anything you want to ask me?

As the subtly awkward atmosphere began to drift, Shizuku turned his words to the glow to change his mood.

Shizukuishi's mood conveyed like that, Mitsuki smiles a small bitter laugh. And I asked him about it since I passed out.

Thus, it was informed that everyone but Kwang Fai had reached the Great Labyrinth attack, that Hajime and Yue had laid their hands on the magical abyss called Conceptual Magic, and that they were currently caged in separate rooms for the production of returning artifacts.

I could not see any particular change in the look of the glow listening silently and quietly, but it is clear that I could not overcome my negative self at a time when I was unable to attack the last trial, for it is easy to imagine that its inner heart would not be calm.

And Shizuku, who is also familiar with the fact that he hesitates to ask whether or not Hikaru should ask what he most wants to hear, had a conjecture. That was what caused Kwong Fai to storm, and that Kwong Fai ignored Shizuku's persuasion to make a convenient interpretation.

Shizuku waited somewhat for Gwanghui to ask, but based on how Gwanghui was doing, he decided to tell himself that it seemed likely that he would not hear anything like this.

"... Gwanghui. Me, I like Nagumo-kun. I want him to see me as a woman."

"Huh..."

Shizuku's words distorted the expression of Shizukumi for a moment. No matter how much the words told straight from childhood taming I've always been beside, I guess it's still a difficult reality for Kwang Hsien to acknowledge. That reassuring happy sleeping face passes behind my brain when Hajime shows up carrying Shizukumi.

"So, you're saying we're going to follow Nagumo from now on? Even though Nagumo has its destiny, and Kaori?... Shizuku, shouldn't you reconsider? Don't say anything bad."

Shizuku shook his head quietly so that he could put on the words of the glow to be repaired, being careful not to divulge as much black emotion as possible that gushed in his heart.

"Mitsuhei, I'm not asking for an opinion. This is just a report. Because it's childhood friendly."

……

In a clear narrative, Kwang-hyun pressed silently with a look like he had chewed up a bitter bug. Somehow, it was a glow that allowed me to gaze at Kaori with the meaning that I wouldn't be able to take on Ryutaro, the bell, and the same man as my best friend for backup, but what I returned from the three was a quiet expression of affirmation. Of course, what I am affirming is Shizuku's words, and that feeling.

When I know that there is no one in tune with me, Kohinoo turns off his expression. No matter, I understood that I could not leave a reality that was unfavourable to me, and emotions such as frustration, impatience, jealousy, and hatred for the mundane reality began wandering in search of spearheads.

But I don't leave it to my emotions to break out. There's no such thing as a hajime, and most importantly, they just did it and made it full bogged down. Though there are dark, starchy emotions, that would not strip the fangs for the moment. That's if not some big trigger...

Somehow, it was the bells who perceived the inseparable dark emotions in the glow, but in the end, it's a problem that they have to overcome themselves, so they stop to face to face with what's going on.

Even such a fellow's attitude is somehow rehearsed, and the glow emits feelings with no place to go into sarcastic words.

"Ha, everyone, you're on his side. He's the kind of guy who easily kills people and easily abandons them..."

"Gwanghui!"

Shizukuishi raises her voice unexpectedly. Shea and Tio's gaze narrowed slightly. Kaori also has a slightly broken smile that was glowing.

But I don't realize it, and no, even if I do, I can't stop feeling like a child with no place to go. Therefore, I say.

"If this is the case, should I be the one falling off the bridge then?!?

That was an overly insensitive and heartless word for everyone. So the most heartbreaking girl in that case - physically stopped by Kaori. Pachin '! And he made a flashy noise, and the tension of Kaori burst into his glowing cheek.

Smooth, to the glow of a hand on his slapped cheek, Kaori opened her mouth with a grim, albeit somewhat sad, look, with her shaken hands intact.

"... Kwang Hsien. I think it's important that you be familiar with Hikaru.... so... don't make me hate you"

"... or Vagina"

Mitsui opened her mouth to the unexpected shock and still had to say something.

Goo!

A similar impact rushed through such an austere wind pressure. The identity is a tremendous wave of magic. "It should not have been impact-converted, but the amount of magic in the body still reacted and felt as a shock spread through the walls of the mansion.

"This is... Mr. Hajime! Mr. Yue!"

In an obviously unusual circumstance, Shea leaps out of the room at once knowing what caused it. Hajime has never made artifacts like this before.

Magic fluctuations continued to spread intermittently to strike a pulse, striking hard at the magic in the member's body. But Kaori, who hacked back at me for such Shea's behavior, immediately prepared her magic to follow Shea.

As Shea put it, the magic fluctuations seemed Hajime and Yue were the source. The closer you get to the room where you two are caged, the more dense the wave of magic rushing through becomes. As he managed to proceed down the corridor, which was wild as if it had also been hit directly by a typhoon, he reached in front of the room.

The door to the room was already open, like after Shea went inside to make sure the two of them were safe. Covering his face against the blowing magic, Kaori never sets foot inside.

What was spreading there was the sight of red and gold magic blowing into a spiral running stream and, in its center, the appearance of Hajime and Yue holding hands opposite each other as they stood on their knees and not making them slightly motionless as they meditated. Between them is placed a fist-large crystal emitting blue and white light and some minerals.

"Si, Sia, what happened to this..."

"I don't know. But, darling, it doesn't look like something happened to you two."

Coming first, Kaori asked Shea, who was raging a rabbit in a magic storm. Shea shields her face with her arms and lowers her posture, but narrows her eyes to see what Hajime and Yue look like, exhaling relief, apparently fine.

Following that gaze, it certainly did not appear that Hajime or Yue were in a dangerous state. On the contrary, they both seemed to be extremely concentrated, and they didn't even seem to notice that Shea and the others had come in. The massive amount of sweat flowing on his forehead showed that even now at this moment, he was devoting all his energy to the making of artifacts with conceptual magic.

"... if you're okay, you should leave."

"Right. If you fail because of your concubines... they will punish you."

"... you shouldn't be happy to say that there. Mr. Tio."

Shea and the others gently retreated towards the door to keep Hajime and the others out of their way.

In the meantime, only Mitsui was staring at Ji Hajime. I don't see the color of emotion in those eyes, but on the contrary, it also seems to hold up the fierce and dangerous.

"Gwanghui"

Shizuku calls. But Gwanghui doesn't respond. Instead, I tried to take a step sooo far.

"Gwanghui!"

"Huh..."

Dazzling, Shizuku takes Shizukumi's arm. He looked straight at the glow with a serious glance as he jerked his trademark ponytail into a magic storm. In that gaze, revealing the agitation as if frightened, Kwong Hui stepped backwards and retreated the foot he was about to take.

At that moment,

"! What is it!?

"What, footage?

"Dark...... cave?

Suddenly, some landscape began to appear in front of Shea and the others. As if the fog were to be shown instead of a screen, the magic light itself becomes a medium and flows in fragments. In a peculiar situation, Shea and the others forget to leave the room.

That's when the bell snarled.

"Something like an orx..."

"Indeed, when it comes to giant caves illuminated by green stone lights, [the Great Labyrinth of Orcs] then..."

Tio affirms the bell's guess. Speaking of caves illuminated by pale green walls, surely, they would have been created by digging into the green stone mineral veins [Orcs Great Labyrinth].

But the bell couldn't be so sure because the view of the cave shown was terribly natural, unlike the labyrinth of the superficial layer that Bells knew and to some extent retained its shape as a "structure". A natural cave without people's hands or anything. And the width, height and other sizes are also far from the labyrinth known by the bells.

Although Shea and I were puzzled by the sudden events and the inexplicable footage, eventually the footage became an angle reflecting a giant Shitsuji and peeking from the rock shade, understanding the identity of the footage with the emotions conveyed momentarily capturing a rabbit-shaped demon with white body hair and enlarged hind legs behind it and red and black vascular muscles crawling through the body.

"Is this, anxiety? … in a hurry to do so"

"I feel fear, too.... memory, right? This footage."

"Probably not your husband. I heard about a place called Naruto.

Shea and the others were right to speculate.

Along with video, emotions transmitted from the magic that fills the room. Anxiety, anxiety, and fear overflowing in front of an obviously unusual demon I've never seen before. For whatever reason, or cause, I didn't know this was happening, but at least I could understand that the video I saw and the emotions I felt belonged to Hajime.

Whatever happened in Nara, after meeting Yue, Hajime didn't tell much about it before. It was already over, because Hajime had no taste for hard work or unhappiness bragging. Sometimes it was simply a hassle.

So when Shea and the others found out about Hajime's past they didn't know, for a moment, eye-opening and communicating their intentions, they started staring at the video with such a serious look that the hole seemed to be empty without leaving the room. I couldn't possibly have left the room or anything, even though I could know the beginning of forming the present for someone I liked. Ryutaro and Gwanghui begin to focus on the video as well if they were interested.

And, at that time, "Ah," someone raised their voice. In the footage, a demon with an unusual atmosphere came forward with tremendous momentum.

"Mr. Hajime!

"Hajime!

Unexpectedly, Shea and Kaori raise a scream that is neither a warning nor a scream. Even in the meantime, the video moves visibly, and the fear and agitation transmitted from the red magic swells up.

Shea and the others bite their teeth at the hazy bite that kicks the rabbit. And when Hajime was finally shattered his left arm and his anguished emotions were conveyed, he covered his eyes that he could not watch the bells or anything else.

"Mr. Hajime... so unilaterally..."

"This is what we knew about Nagumo. I didn't have the strength to fight..."

Shea has a tearful but incredible look at the unilaterally bewitched Hajime. To Shea like that, Shizukuishi zeroes her words as she bites her lips off.

Eventually, the footage breaks for a moment. Because Hajime felt his death in front of the kicking rabbit and meditated on his eyes. Again, as Hajime's perceived fear of death propagates, video flows. There was a frightened kicking rabbit.

For the sight I turned following the gaze of a kicking rabbit, a giant white-haired bear. At first glance I can tell it's an unusual demon. As proof of that, the kicking rabbit with the hajime in the video was lightly doubled and preyed on with a splash of blood in front of the hajime.

The eye of the nail bear shoots Shea and the others through the video. Now they felt that the colors in their eyes were not those of the enemy, but of the food. Furthermore, the underlying fear of the hazy bears was conveyed, and they shook their bodies unexpectedly.

What happened after that was all too tragic for the girls who put their thoughts on Hajime.

He is cornered, deprived of his left arm, and chewed it in front of him. The eye that captures itself, as always, is on food. So, the blood that erupts and the arms that gradually lose their shape fuel that reality without refusing.

A scream that could not have been heard was transmitted on a wave of magic. The fear and pain that the species of man was first turned to and actually devoured and scattered parts of his body and decimated. And I crawl crawling into holes in a frenzy of death wanting to get away from the righteousness of terror just a millimeter away, without shame or outrage.

The footage shown is already dark. I'm already unsure if the emotions transmitted have saturated. Only the fact that Hajime cried out, and even that gradually weakened, was conveyed, reminiscent of the sight of the lights of life going out.

"Haji, Me......"

Shea bursts into tears with hollows. Kaori, Shizukuishi, and bells beside him cover his mouth with his hands. Tio also has a tough gaze at that. The more I was in front of him, the more I could tear him apart. I was making him so willing to kill the nail bear.

As they watch, the dimmed vision eventually comes back to life. Hajime, doubting that he had been helped, proceeds to the back of the wall to be led, where he meets the mysterious crystal that drips water. Divine crystals and divine water.

Hajime drank it and squatted in a dark cave with a crushed heart. Seeking help...

From there, it becomes an uninterrupted video of vague memories. But instead of saying it, the emotions transmitted went denser.

Overwhelming solitude that no matter how much help you seek, no one will ever respond to you. Darkness that seems to swallow even the existence of myself. Crazy feeling of hunger. Constant phantom limb pain.

endure torture-like pain for days and days. Lying like dead, he eventually wished for nature and death, and the divine water he had just taken did not allow it, and his feelings without a place to go led to hatred for his classmates, cursing the irrationality of the world.

But it also gradually gets better and Hajime's heart gets dyed black and black. thirst for raw, and for the killing of beings that disturb it.

Hajime moves. In its sight, it captured the contour of the accumulated ground of divine water. He crawls away like a jerk and starts to sip like a dog. The hunger and phantom limb pain remained intact, and Hajime's face on the water, which regained only vitality, was already someone else.

Hajime exits the hole with a gleaming eye for guillotine and killing intent. A weapon that can't even be called just one weapon - hunting demons using smelting.

"Eh... this is what it looks like..."

"I was listening to you... this guy is intense..."

Hajime, who is eaten by the flesh of demons, whose hands and clothes will be blood-coated, and whose face will surely be dirty with flesh, deserves exactly what is called a monster.

That's how a scream that won't be a voice to pass on again. I can't imagine how much that pain is. I can see that Hajime's body, which punches his head on the ground many times and whirls around, is repeatedly crumbling and regenerating, even from the range occasionally reflected in his sight.

The miserable sight beyond sight and the raw and painful storm of hell that propagated did not tell the servant the glow, and Ryutaro slipped his gaze softly with his impenetrable thoughts. The bell is desperately scolding herself for being likely to vomit.

Eventually the transformation was over, and when the figure was reflected in a water reservoir of blood and zero divine water, there was the same hazy figure there as now. More importantly, there is the appearance of Hajime now that he has rolled his obsession with raw and murderous, gaining tough flesh and new power.

Then, after a distracting trial and error using the power of the smelter, a common profession that could only make weapons, and the raw materials of gunpowder from other worlds, he gave birth to weapons and challenged his heart to prove that he could fight to a crushed nail bear once.

After the fierce battle, Hajime, who took control of the claw bear, and devoured his flesh to feed himself, becomes aware there. the true thirst that comes from my heart.

Namely:

- I want to go home.

As I echoed that thought, the magic of filling the room pulsed. Only then, Hajime's body was wrapped in red magical light, with more magic bouncing around Hajime and Yue.

But it's not magical enough to be scattered indiscriminately. The two of them and concentrate to be sucked into a spiral running around the center.

- I want to go home.

Again, Hajime's pure and intense desire propagated through magic. To that thought, Shea and the others squeeze their chests together as if they had been struck.

The magic of red shines brightly without knowing where it stops, and the magic of gold (konji) creeps in to support its red glow. Glittering and brilliant but gradually regaining serenity, the magic stream slowly begins to circle around the two of us. That's just like a brilliant galaxy.

- I want to go home.

It was conveyed in such a way that intense thoughts of willingness could be infused that it could be understood naturally, which could not be swayed by anyone. That is exactly what we should call extreme will.

Hajime in the video, once, looked up to heaven, then meditated quietly. In yourself, so that thoughts and readiness are certain. And when he opened his eyes softly, he went towards the depths of the labyrinth without hesitation to the abyss behind the aisle.

The magic light that was showing the footage joins the vortex of magic that surrounds Hajime and Yue so that it is sucked in there.

Shea and the others reacted roughly the same way. It's just that Hajime is stunned by the awesome process leading up to Hajime today.

Shea, Kaori, Tio, Shizukuishi, etc. were hollowing and weeping from emotions that they could not even understand on Hajime's journey and their truthful thoughts, and at the same time, smiling slightly, feeling proud of the thinker who had risen and crawled up again.

Bells and Ryutaro held their mouths as if they were just overwhelmed, and looked somewhere convinced that they were no match.

We thought we had dived into a considerable training ground, but still, there was always the support of the Melds, experienced Knights, and most importantly, we were surrounded by fellow cheats. I shake my head, imagining that, by myself, it would be something I could do to crawl up from Naruto through all that ordeal. Even the sight I've just seen is just the beginning. I didn't think I could stand it very much.

And the glow... was pointing an empty eye at the void, like a powerless one. In that chest, the time had passed when I had said earlier that I wish I had fallen into Nara.

Until now, Hikaru even thought the strength of Hajime was cowardly. Shizukuishi said she must have had a terrific experience, but she didn't have a real sense of it or any other fine dust, and she really thought she was just the guy who easily got the power to do whatever she wanted by falling into Naruto.

But Hajime's journey, which I have learned, is awesome enough to blow my mind like that...

(… do you want to go home…)

Squeeze in your heart. I wonder if I will fulfill it and want to go home that far. At the same time, my thoughts, which I have publicly proclaimed to save this world as a courageous man as it is sought, are so faint compared to the pure and intense thoughts of Hajime, conveyed directly through magic...

(Chi, no... I'm not wrong. Nagumo's thoughts... ok... but because... and even Shizuku... take everything away from me...)

I desperately shake away the emotions of past self-denial.

Changes appeared in Hajime and Yue as Kwanghui was questioning his inner self. To the crystals and minerals between Hajime and Yue, to be exact.

Surrounded by clear red magic, gradually reshaping, or fusing, and taking in magic are indisputable signs that smelting is taking place.

"Is that the key...?

"Right. Sounds like an antique key made of crystals."

Shizuku synchronizes with Kaori's whining. Shaped between Hajime and Yue, it was the key to the portrayal of a terribly elaborate and complex magic formation with a positive-dodecahedron crystal on the handheld side and on the planar portion of the tip.

It is created by the fusion of divine crystals with other minerals, and takes in a large amount of the magic of Hajime and Yue and finishes it as an antique key to everything beautiful artwork with gold designs on red crystals.

And shortly after the shape was created completely, Hajime and Yue, who had never been slight before, opened their eyes softly with their hands together. In his thinly open eyes, he also seemed to see nothing, staring at something that only the two of us could see.

Unusual, the sound of swallowing someone's cockroach and saliva echoed in an atmosphere that also felt somewhere mysterious. The next moment, this time, two lips tremble. That's how the words spinning out of my small open mouth...

"" - "Open the door to where you wanted it" "

In a moment, a stream of star-like dazzling light erupted around the two of us. The stream of the galaxy, once calm, dyed the room to a pure white light color, as if it had happened even in a supernova explosion, and smeared the consciousness of all those on the spot white as well.
