At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

"Um, this is... oh, Mr. Geena's house."

Apparently, after depositing himself on Grett's back, he lost consciousness at some point because of his fatigue using fairy arts that far exceeded his tolerance.

As he rises consciousness, he also becomes aware of the pain that runs through his body.

Shit, it hurts so bad.

"That hurts more than it did before you lost consciousness. It's extra hard because I can move it poorly"

Inai and Sigal were sleeping on both sides of me when I checked my surroundings with my eyes alone without moving.

And then I see a white chunk at my feet. Maybe Huck's round at my feet.

You don't have any croto. I wonder where he went.

I'm a little worried, so I'd like to go find it... and see if I can get up first.

"Heh, heh... heh..."

Oh, no. This is too painful to move properly.

I can't get up without lying down to wake up my body, and it's hard to roll over to lie down.

"... um, oh, you're up. Phew."

I woke up Inai because of the fact that he was dried up on the street and dying like a mite.

Slowly she wakes up with a cute absence.

"How's your body, can you move?

"Sorry, it's not like I can't move at all like I did when I fell asleep during this time, but the pain isn't the ratio between them"

"Right. Well, don't force yourself to sleep. Are you hungry?

"Hmm, a little"

In my reply Inai said briefly "wait" and left the room.

Look at it, give up moving and completely pull the force out of your body.

"... Father, are you awake?

Kroto came into the room with Totetote, as he would be replaced there.

The face looks somewhere sorry.

Good, are you all right?

"Morning, Kroto. Is Kroto all right?

"... yeah, because your father shook me off. I'll be fine."

'Shaken it off'? I hear Kroto is properly aware of what happened at the ruins.

Maybe there doesn't seem to be that much difference between me and this kid in the perception of that event.

But should I check it? I've heard things I don't know.

"Look, Crot, there's something I haven't figured out yet, can you tell me?

"... yeah, if I know what you mean."

Kroto looks even more sorry for some reason.

Do you still care about what happened at the ruins?

"Kroto, you don't have to worry about what happened at the ruins. It's like force majeure."

Kroto didn't try to enter the ruins himself, and you can't possibly know there's such a trick.

Nothing wrong with Kroto.

"... yeah, no. Long ago, when I met your father, I figured out why I thought he was your father, so..."

Kroto cuts the words there and leans a little.

Is that why you called me your father?

"I guess that means I was born with a piece of my life."

"... yeah. I was supposed to suck up and take shape of everything my father was there then.

But I couldn't actually do it, so it manifested itself in a half-way way. Maybe that's what caused my halfway memories. "

Kroto nodded, showing a little confusion about my words, and told me about the first time I met him.

You didn't think I noticed, or you thought it would piss you off.

"I knew it, right"

The prediction that the same thing had happened when everyone had collapsed at the ruins and when we first met with Kroto seemed correct.

He wasn't wrong to say that something was different between Kroto and what was in that ruin, and that Kroto could still have taken shape.

"... that's how I manifested myself, I don't even remember the existential significance of the first time I was born, it was made of a fragment of your father's soul, and it became like I was born new as something like a copy of your father.

But because of that, my thoughts are getting closer to you than my original consciousness. "

"Uh, I mean?

"... now I'm like another thing with some of my powers, my memory and my soul back in the day"

"Oh really? Oh, well, that's good."

In other words, there will be one complete reduction in Chroto's worries.

It turns out that Kroto is not an old demon king.

The fact of the matter leaks a little grin.

Yeah, good.

"Yeah, you know what would have happened if they'd taken it all then, you know?

"... maybe, but I think I used your father's soul to connect you to the world and manifest who you used to be.

Now I feel like I've managed to recover to the best of my ability by mixing my soul a little bit. "

I don't understand the fine logic, but I wonder if that means that Kroto himself couldn't have come out alone.

My life was a little mixed up so I could be born a creature.

I see, it's your father. Seriously, he was my son.

"... but that's not all. Your father... that's when my shards of power are mixed up. Maybe your father won't be human when he dies. Maybe he'll be a demon."

"What?"

Kroto said something very sorry.

To a boulder. That's too unexpected.

What, if I die, I'm not gonna be human?

I mean, what do you mean, it's embedded with shards of power?

"... for me to be born again in this world, where my soul is in form, and my power is mixed with the inexorably diminished soul."

"Uh, I mean, I stopped dying, right?

"... yeah, your father's gonna die. But then it could be something that wasn't your father."

I have an element of being a demon now, and when I die, I become a demon, but I guess that doesn't mean I'm going to be a demon as it is.

Oh, what, that's scary. Am I going to be anything but me?

"... because I'm mixed with my soul, I think I've figured out the difference between me, who manifests himself in the world individually, and him, who only has power and memory. Dad, you were attacking clean away from just me, weren't you?

"Uh yeah."

Kroto was right, I saw something else covering Kroto and Kroto then.

I could see in the chroot that something similar was about to be mixed with a chroot that wasn't chroot.

At the same time, I saw the flow of life force that I had taken from everyone trying to pour into Kroto, so I unleashed the immortality with the intention of smashing it first.

The loss of control of power in that blow caused the power of life, which could not flow into the croto, to be dispersed in half.

So I can see. I drew that power toward me, the fog of everyone's life.

He kept the power at my disposal that seemed to disappear as it did to imitate the way life was being sucked.

Now when I struck the fairy arts to blow up what was covering the chroot, I knew it was shaky.

One shot on the boulder wasn't enough, so I struck another shot and finally peeled a little off the chroot.

You just couldn't control it well then, and you slowed it down one shot at a time.

I couldn't successfully turn it into a force because I tried to use it to sum up the power of life other than my own.

Still, the only way to save Kroto now was to rely on immortality, and somehow I thought so and managed to control it.

And I managed to control it. I almost blew the object that had covered the chroot in one shot, and at the end of the day I poured a clean qigong into the body of the chroot so that there was not a single shard left.

Like blowing everything but croto out of a croto.

The attack that destroyed the finishing ruins is the same as the attack itself.

I forced him from his surroundings to gather vitality to control and blow him to a point to blow something that wasn't croto.

From the ruins themselves, they were transformed into power by taking lives from their surrounding beings.

The question is, because of the difficulty of controlling, the power has been spread in vain?

I couldn't beat the point I was after.

Now I don't even know why I was unquestionably detained in "Attacks in Immortality" at that time.

But I thought fairy art was the right thing to do then.

Only in fairy arts did I think I could give the guy in front of me an effective hit.

"I thought the only way to help Kroto was with fairy talent, but do you know why about that?

"... I have your father's shards, and your father has mine. Because of that, I think your father and I shared memories temporarily because our souls are a little connected.

I think the people who tried to take me down in the past were pouring into your father. Because the power your father uses, if you use it well, will counteract my power. "

Cheng Cheng, is the immortality itself effective for the croto?

I guess the impact method is less effective, and if you lean towards those who directly damage your vitality, it will be effective.

I wonder if that's why Mr. Mirka blew black.

The only problem is, you can't unleash such a powerful attack on me.

This time they let us reuse everyone's lives, and maybe the spirits' powers.

Thanks to that, I would not have had enough of my natural vitality just to unleash a joking attack of power.

I thought I was inclined to attack my life force, but I couldn't tilt it because of the physical damage that caused the mountain to collapse.

Well, that's partly because the ruins themselves can no longer exist and collapsed.

"... that force was a little different than normal, so I remembered that it was troublesome. I think you're strong about that weak guy."

"Well, it's about Mr. Mirka."

"... yeah, that guy, he should be terribly weak originally. You don't have the strength to fight, but you can fight. By using that power, you can't help but create a body that can fight."

I wonder if that power refers to the use of life force from other beings.

Can Mr. Mirka use it?

I guess what I couldn't tell you was that they thought I was going to fall uncontrolled like this one.

It would be dangerous to use it for nagging. Obviously, the impact on others is terrible.

And given what Kroto just said, it means he's pumping other vitals into himself.

All I could do this time was keep the power of my life at hand and release it outside.

I didn't feel like I could mix it in myself, but if I tried, could I?

Let's give it a try next time we get better.

"But Kroto, do you remember much of it?

I think I've been talking a lot about things that I didn't know about earlier in Kroto.

Especially when it comes to Kroto himself.

"... yeah, as fragmented as ever. I think he wanted your father to help and pulled out the slightest memory he had in me. I'm sure your father would help you with this."

Trust is heavy. I'm glad you saved me, but I don't know what would have happened if I couldn't use the fairy arts.

"... Later I did it, whether your father felt my black or wrapped it around me. I tried to interrupt him at all, and I used the slightest of my powers in your father."

"Oh, Naruto, is that the kind of trick? I didn't feel uncomfortable while I was doing it, but I didn't know why later and I was wondering. The attack on my head protected me in black so I could lose my hair."

I knew black was coming down from above. But still, I knew there was no particular problem.

"... I don't think he had any doubts because he was connected to me."

"Uh, I wonder if it feels like my consciousness was mixed. Something. That's kind of scary."

I'm afraid I can't tell if my thoughts are normal or abnormal.

I was able to protect my croto because of that though, so I'm just worried about whether it's good or bad.

"Oh, yeah, hang on, maybe this time Mr. Aroness and the others will be demons, too."

Everyone's going to be just like me when they suck my life.

"... yeah, I'm not. What those people were deprived of was the power of life. Those people are fine because what your father's losing is the soul itself."

"Oh, yeah, that's right"

I don't really understand the difference, but is Mr. Aroness and the others safe for now? Good.

When I do, what am I going to do with my own body?

"For now, I'm gonna be okay while I'm alive, right?

"... maybe, it's okay"

Maybe. Maybe I'm scared.

"... it's okay. I'll do my best. I can't right now, but I'll figure it out."

Because of my subtle face, Kroto said that by holding both hands.

Well, the only thing we can do about the status quo is croto.

I don't see it when people tell me there's a mixture of chroot shards in my body.

Nobody's ever told me that before.

"Well, I'm waiting for you."

For now, we're all safe, so that's good.

I just have to die myself.

I'm not willing to die.

Because I don't want to die, when I was in the Tree Sea, I followed everything I taught to live.

So Inai brought me a meal, so I ended my conversation with Kroto once.

When I finished eating while being cared for by Inai, my drowsiness suddenly hit me.

I just woke up, and I'm sleepy again. Maybe I'm more tired than I thought.

Let's just sleep honestly and explain it to everyone tomorrow...
