Civilization Game

The road that entered the cave walked again and again.

As I walked, the concept of space disappeared. The widows and daemons that were traveling with him disappeared and were wandering around in the dark by themselves.

The concept of time has long been blurred. I didn't know if I walked a day, a week, or years.

I just kept walking in a daze.

A beam of light finally flows out of the seemingly endless darkness. Rod frowns at the sudden light and covers his eyes with his arms.

And the scene changed.

The cave is back. Probably the last point of the cave.

“Hello, Rod Polentia. ”

There was a gray woman who introduced herself as a drunk.

“ ……. ”

Lord did not answer her question. You pause and hold your chin with one hand. Then, like an exploratory scientist, I looked everywhere at her face.

“What are you doing? ”

She asked me with a standing voice. At that moment, Lord Rod smiled bitterly.

“Smoke, you're awkward. ”

“What?"

“You're the goddess, right? ”

“ ……. ”

The silent gray woman smiles bloody.

“I feel better without seeing it. ”

At the end of the sentence, color and vibrancy appeared in an empty gray body.

A woman wearing a gold hair tied together and dropped it on her chest loosely, and a wine dress with legs exposed.

Yes, it is.

Goddess who brought Lord to Eden as a contractor.

Isis is right in front of you.

“How did you know? ”

After returning to a lively atmosphere, she pulls out her tongue and smiles embarrassingly.

“I was acting like a goddess. ”

She grins lightly and extends her arms.

“Come on, kid! ”

Lord leaps into her arms without hesitation.

Although the time with Isis was not long, Lord still misses her deeply.

“I've had a hard time getting here. I'm so proud of you. ”

She taps Lord's back slowly.

The smell of flesh from her calms Lord's mind. He closes his eyes comfortably, suddenly raising his head.

“Then why did the goddess appear as a drink? ”

“ ……. ”

She makes a sneaky face.

“Are we done with the surprise and figuring things out? How come none of that has changed? ”

“…… Hahaha. ”

On the other side of Lord's memory comes the first encounter with her. One of the first words he saw when he came into this world was, "Did you lose your mind? The next question was," Who are you? "’And all I could think about was laughter.

“Not that great. Didn't you and your god meet at the ball last time? That's why this time, the last part of the Ancient Quest was replaced by a surprise event that your god was attending. It's completely independent of Eden, so even if we're indirect, it doesn't matter. ”

“…… Ah. ”

Lord gives you a convincing nod.

“I never thought I'd see you at the last minute. ”

“I'm sorry. The clearing was too difficult. ”

Rod folds his arms again and gives you a worrying face.

“…… If you've completed the Ancient Quest, you can meet your god. So you're saying that Serena met her god? ”

Issys squeezes the rod's thighs, his eyes glancing.

“Ouch!”

“Do you think you can put such a pretty goddess in front of you and think of another woman? ”

‘... You're still jealous. ’

However, knowing the situation back and forth made Lord's expression more relaxed.

“How's life in Eden? ”

When she shook her hand in the air, furniture, including the sofa, appeared. It was the modern things of the earth that I missed.

“I'm doing just fine. ”

“It's a lot different than I expected, isn't it? ”

She sits on the couch and gestures to Lord as well.

“… Yes. She said she was going to go through a lot of trials. ”

“I did.”

“He also said that if the bowl is small, it might be difficult to survive as a human being. Obviously, I may have been shallow enough to survive that kind of pressure. I didn't think it would be like this... ”

Lord continued to suffer from nightmares. Recently, the Mentals have been shattered by Cerestina. Had it not been for Chielo, it would have collapsed without coming here.

“So you regret it? ”

“No.”

Lord answered without hesitation.

“It was the best choice of my life. Even if I could go back in time, I would have made the same choice. ”

“I'm glad.”

She smiles widely.

“… Ah, Isis. I have a personal question for you. ”

“What?”

“I wonder why you chose me as your contractor. Eden was not a world where you could get away with it as much as you like to play. There must have been more outstanding people than me... ”

Isis slammed her chin with a relaxed gesture.

“What do you think is a good person? ”

“… well, there are a lot of people with bright heads or hard-to-reach spots. I'm not a prodigy, but I'm not just a prodigy... ”

She stretches out her arms with a soft smile in her eyes. The door to the refrigerator opens and a can of beer enters my hand.

“Well... The brainy one you think is superior, the one who is good at fighting, was never cool. ”

Cock-a-doodle-doo. As she uncovered the can lid, a flavorful aroma of beer flowed around her.

“Human abilities are fairer than you think? No man is superior in every way. The more perfect they look, the more empty they are. Whether it's privacy, personality, bad habits. It would simply collapse into something so trivial that it was hard to believe. ”

Lord stares and adds a smile to her face.

“It's about beta testing in the Chaos World. ”

“… Aha. ”

“And there are many smart people in Eden who are good at fighting. So I tried something new. I chose you because I was obsessed. ”

“…… Yes? ”

“Pure obsession with what you like, determination, perseverance. I thought you in this world would never give up no matter what. ”

Lord Roads howls.

“Is that the only reason? ”

“Yes, that's why. But it worked, didn't it? ”

As she shakes her arm, Rod's hand also raises a glass full of drinks. Lord tasted it.

“Oh, Coke. I really wanted a drink! ”

“Hehe, drink as much as you want. ”

The two of them sat down and had a busy conversation.

Days in Eden.

Adapters in a daytime world.

It was mostly the way she listened with a dazzling stretch of road.

But happy times didn't last long.

“Time's up. It's time to go. ”

“… too bad. It's been a long time. ”

She laughs as Lord is depressed.

“Well, I'll see you soon. Whether you win or lose, the end is ahead. ”

Isis puts the pendant she was wearing around her neck into Lord's hands.

“What is this? ”

“Magic Armor with the Power of Drinking. This is the reward for an Ancient Quest. ”

A bitter light flashes through Lord's eyes. Magic armor seems to have a lot of pendants.

“How does it work? ”

“It's simple. The first person to put a pendant around his neck becomes an apostle of Drinking. Take care that the owner never changes. ”

“What is this Apostle of Drinking? ”

“I don't know.”

Seeing the vague handover, he seemed to want to avoid the detailed answer. There's a rule that says not to say. The road has changed the direction of the question by a number of steps.

“Can anyone just hang a pendant? ”

“Only those who are ready to embrace the Black Magic Power. A layman could kill you? ”

Chimera and daemons rise from Lord's mind. Oops, I've narrowed my options quite a bit. He couldn't even use it.

Kuku Kung! Suddenly, the cave was in peril. Isis made an impression.

“Cheat, you're pushing it so badly. ”

“ ……? ”

“It's time to really break up. ”

When she reached out her palm to Lord, his body twisted. You hear a sound, pushing back like weightlessness.

“See you later. Hodgins.”

“… Yes. ”

“I'm sorry. And.... ”

She squeezes her hands together and shouts out loud.

“Let's go!”

Lord smiles at your loving support.

*

On the way back, I felt that it took less time than the first time. After escaping the darkness, you see your colleagues sleeping in the cave.

Aaron Diet and Mine slumber on their shoulders. The daemons are dozing off, and one of them is standing in a fireplace.

“Master, are you here? ”

She finds Lord and bows her head.

“Yes, thank you. ”

The other daemons are awakened and greet Lord. But the two pretenders were still dreamy.

Lord approaches them and whispers.

“Now get up. Princesses.”

The two people who woke up, rubbing their eyes, looked furious when they saw Lord's face.

“Your Majesty! Where did you disappear to all of a sudden? Did something happen? ”

Aaron Dye trembles.

“Are you hurt? ”

Mine looks up and down at Lord and asks how he's doing.

“Yeah, I'm fine. ”

“Your Majesty! You scared me! We were walking in a cave together, right? The cave is over, but it's gone through the walls of the king... ”

“Only those who received the revelation could enter. ”

“… Your Majesty. ”

She opens her mouth with a nervous face.

“Have you met God? ”

“Yes. And I got this. ”

Rod shows them the pendant in his hand.

“… Wow. ”

The two cars stare at the pendant. The daemons are also curious.

‘Hmm, should I just use it on one of these three daemons? ’

After a moment of deliberation, Rod decides to think more and decide, as this situation is overwhelmingly favorable for Abyss anyway. Rod puts the pendant in his pocket.

“How long has it been? ”

“We haven't been able to get a good look at the caves either, but it's been a couple of days. Your Majesty."

Lord is relieved. He fears that he may have spent too much time walking in the dark.

“Let's go back. We should join the siege. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“But what did you talk to God about? Tell me more! ”

Master Column/Thanks again for your comment today!

Thank you for your comment on @ Cheongvcheon/Long. It turns out that Abyss' intelligence is highly regarded. There's a part of the text where I don't really explain the limitations of information. After the arc, they learned that Abyss was highly intelligent, and they were able to hack it, and then they were able to figure out how to get in, and some didn't quite describe it. I think that's something I should try harder on. I thank you intellectually.

Thanks for @ Dermike/Comments. I have a lot of regrets about individuality and color for each country. And in the case of the Abyss, countries tend to be shallow because the situation in each country develops. (Even in the coldest countries, the airlines ended in two centuries. For example, if a ferocious country was a mid-boss, then the afflicted Abyss would have been strongly appealed to all the crops that were frozen to death and the rivers frozen over and so on.)
