"He said he got caught... what the hell is going on! Rye!"
I heard Rye, and I yelled.
Aqua was caught.
Besides, right after you broke up with me.
Then it's like...
"Oh, me too... I don't know what..."
"... what kind of guy did you grab?
For a moment, I was about to yell at him again, but I was so happy with it.
And I asked him to extract all the information he could from Rye.
"My face... put on like a mask, I didn't know... but I knew I was a man. And then... I put two daggers on my hips, so I think it's a bandit position or a bowman position."
"... your outfit... as good as mine?
"Huh? Oh, yeah, sure, I did"
"Right."
Now you're more likely to have committed the crime by him.
I'm not sure yet, but I don't think there are many guys who would do this.
"Did the man say anything else?
If it was his crime, he's definitely provoking me first.
So, whatever you're giving Rye, it's not weird.
"... yes... that man, 'If you want him back, bring Build Error to this place. Of course, let him come alone'... I left this paper behind."
That's what Rye said, he took one piece of paper out of his pocket and offered it to me.
Looks like he left a message for Rye, as expected.
The paper depicted a map of the town of the beginning.
The map is marked red, so I guess that means coming here.
The fact that I had something like this ready... was I being watched in the morning?
Damn... if I had noticed that, Aqua wouldn't have had to wind up...
"Hey, brother..."
"What's up, Rye?"
"Is your brother... you know that man...?
"... maybe you do"
I can't be sure I won't see him in person, but he's definitely the first one.
"So... Aqua must have gotten it all wrong"
"... well"
When I answered unwrapped, Rye let her face down and shut up.
Try it from Rye or Aqua, it would be a total disaster.
You didn't do anything wrong, but you just got involved with me, and you're seeing this.
After all, I shouldn't have had contact with anyone.
I didn't like this happening, so I said I was keeping him away from anyone but Crail...
"Sin, you won't listen to me, but this isn't your fault"
…………
Mina comes to me with words of comfort.
But she's right, I can't accept being uttered like that.
This is what happened because of me.
If it's a little while or so, and it won't be a problem to this extent, this is the result of the taka.
... if you're thinking about this right now.
Let's go help Aqua quickly.
"Mina, you take Rye to the embassy."
"Huh...? Well, that's fine... but what's Singh going to do?
"... I'm going to go help Aqua"
"Does that mean you're going into enemy formation by yourself? Then I won't admit it. I'm coming with you."
"... taking Rye to a safe place is also important. Plus, if we take a bunch of them, we might be able to get away with it."
"Hand this kid over at the embassy, and then we'll both go. The enemy won't be scared, either, with about two people, right?
…………
It looks like Mina is really going to go with me.
but you can't admit it.
"I told you before. You're a fool. You want to get in my way."
"It's not like I'm in your way. I hope you don't take a sweet look."
... what?
You're very strong today.
In the meantime, I said I pulled back as soon as I said I had my feet together.
Because I'm trying to get to the enemy alone?
Besides, don't even look sweet.
Indeed, Mina now has the highest strength among the Earthlings (players).
I can honestly commend you for fulfilling 'over a hundred' just like I did.
But......
"You're the one... don't look sweet at our fight, Mina"
I whined in a low voice.
Hunting monsters, or dueling under the rules, is a completely different dimension.
What is going to happen is that people fight and kill each other by all means.
I don't feel like taking Mina to that place.
"... so ready to hurt people, I have one too. You're not the only one who's changed, Singh."
…………
Mina has turned a strong caged eye.
... I'm not the only one who changed, am I?
Maybe that's true.
Recently, we and other students traveling to and from Earth have often been told that the "haunting air is different”.
I don't know, are we the only Japanese people with eyes?
Well, I'd say you can't help being evaluated like that.
We've lived too long in this other world for slaughter.
There was no way that we, who continued to fight vicious creatures and were accustomed to seeing blood, were engulfed in the same air as the Japanese who normally lived on Earth.
Already, our values diverge from those of the Earth.
If you die in the earth and refresh your memory beautifully, maybe not.
"... still. I'm not gonna fight with you."
"Sin......"
I guess Mina also has enough minds to fight people.
But we don't fight together any more than Mina's not as strong as I am.
"In the first place, he's been designating me to come alone. I don't have a choice to take Mina here from the beginning."
That's what I said, and I kept rejecting Mina.
"... then take Mr. Krall alone. Just leave me alone."
Mina has then presented a compromise proposal.
You mean rely on Claire?
I was actually willing to get in alone, but as long as I wanted to take her, I could.
She would have the art of hiding herself, and it's much safer compared to Mina following.
"Okay. Then I'll rendezvous with Claire once. Mina asks for Rye."
"Yep... don't just be impotent, Sin"
"... do good"
I can't guarantee I won't be impotent.
But I'm not dying, either.
"Rye, too, can you trust me on this and wait?
My conversation with Mina took a breather, so I turned to Rye.
"Ho, really, Mizuno will be back safely...?
"Oh, I promise. Leave it to me."
Help Aqua.
That's the top priority this time.
"... ok. I'd really like to go help... but I'll leave you to Mizuno..."
I suppose Rye thinks that going with him would be a nuisance to us.
When I first met him, he was growing, but now he must understand his power.
"... I won't let anyone lose me anymore"
Thus I turned my back on Mina and Rye and ran to the cemetery to rendezvous with Claire.
Then, when I joined Claire, I came to the destination of a map written on paper.
The destination is the aristocratic residence in the heart of the beginnings town of Mireille.
It used to be a bigger building than the enemy Ajit I raided.
You're kidding.
I can't believe there was such a big enemy azito inside "Mireille," my stomach is going to boil over.
That's not the comparison when I saw the Western Hall that was in "Mimic".
Besides, I have him in this place now.
Whenever I run out of bees, it's not a strange situation.
With that in mind, I walked in the building by myself.
By the way, this time too, I'm letting Krall keep an eye on me outside the building.
However, Aqua...... if I see a Earthlings (player) girl, I tell her to protect it without question.
I also thought about the idea of Krall getting into the building with me, but I'm here on my own, just in case.
Even so, am I alone?
At last, does he mean he's trying to settle with me?
I don't know.
That's what I thought, walking down the aisle vigilantly around me.
Apparently, there's some open space ahead.
…………
When I gazed, I discovered that at the center of that space… there was an aqua with hands and feet bound to a cross-like ornament.
"Aqua!"
Moment after moment, I ran to her.
Then we reached a place like the hall.
"Hey, Build Error. Long time no see."
And I saw a man upstairs, visible from the hall.
"You're proceeding with an attack on the underground labyrinth with no punishment again. Right. I was the only one who warned you."
The man says so to me and smiles niggly.
"Karaaaaaaa!!!!!!!"
- My anger exploded.
