Flood of dazzling light. It's just a little tight in my wake-up eyes.
When you open your lid softly, the view of the outside world invites you into the light. In a world of voyeuristic focus and mixed colors, the newly awakened consciousness searches for her figure.
Light expectations come to mind.
"... what are you"
"Wouldn't it be terrible to wake up early? ⁉
The blonde curly girl objected with tears.
"No, bad, bad. No offense. What I thought came out of my mouth..."
"It's still terrible! I mean, you're offended at the point where you say it, aren't you? ⁉"
And to Lucy, who protests, when I laugh and delude, I turn my eyes around.
Lucy, Sylvia, Huck, Luxeria, and Spring Tree and Lunar Moon. Everybody's pimping.
"Good, are you all right"
Not that I didn't believe what Nord said, but I had anxiety. So when I see everyone safe, the relief comes in.
That's Sylvia for me.
"You're the only one who wasn't safe."
"I guess."
I'll give you a peppery scratch of Haku's throat, which is getting sweet, while I respond appropriately to Sylvia's point. Haku, who was most concerned, also felt better when he saw it, and there seems to be no impact left from the loss of protection. There's still a chance he's getting weaker...
And to me, Sylvia, who caresses Haku.
"I guess so... do you know how seriously ill you were?
"Well, somehow"
I can only feel the weight of my injuries somehow when my recovery system talent makes fun of me.
It hurts here. But why?
That level. I have no talent for healing magic.
"Arctia has many excellent wizards. That's why I saved you, but without that coincidence, you'd be dead."
"Heh."
Well, you saved me, okay? So much so that if it's over, it's all good, and so much so.
What matters is the result that everyone was safe. There is no such thing as meditating on your eyes when you are dying somewhat.
"Sir, is there anything wrong with your body?
"Mm-hmm. That's a lot."
I've turned my shoulders a little, but that's all the pain runs. It seems like a situation that is not so much incapable of moving but cannot be described as fully healed.
"Right. The healer told me to rest for a month."
"What? Long time, huh?
"Really?
"No, even if they ask back..."
That's a long time. When Charstena healed me, it was about two weeks max.
Was there that much difference in the weight of the injury?
Well, I don't know...
"Isn't that normal? It would take a week for the fracture to heal completely, and even the organs were scratched."
"Oh, really?"
I didn't know.
Charstena didn't say that, but it's gonna take longer than I thought until it's fully healed. Well, I'm not even putting on the gips, but if the fracture is going to be fully healed in a week, it's enough.
And there are two others of me with that sentiment.
"In this world, you can fracture all you want."
"I don't know about that idea, but what Haruki said makes sense. Our world takes a little longer. It's more inconvenient than that."
"Magic is different."
It was Lucy who questioned the conversation between the two of them.
"In your two worlds, how do you cure them?
"Well, there are different ways to fix it, operate it, but they all take longer than this one, this is it."
"Shujutsu......? Are you talking about human experiments?
"What, that scary imagination..."
In return for Lucy, Haruki is a donkey. Ruzuki is laughing bitterly. It seems difficult to convey something that doesn't have a concept. In this world, you can see and cure your body using magic without having to bother cutting people's bodies. If you think about it, what a world of gratitude to the injured.
"Well, then... that? What about Ghoul and Cecil?
"I don't know about Cecil, but Ghoul would have gone out with His Majesty the Emperor to arch the sword"
"Yes?"
As it's usual for Cecil to disappear... speaking of which, he didn't even show up the other day in battle. There's no sign anymore, so we're losing our presence, aren't we?
Well, put that aside, what does it mean that the Emperor and Ghoul went out on sword archery together?
... Are you free, Emperor?
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty seems to like Gould."
"What the hell..."
I ate a little, but can we wait for you? Let's finish our errands first.
"Cecil, aren't you there?
"Of course you are."
………………
In response to the reply I returned, we were all silent, as if we had shown each other. He's used to it already.
"Cecil, how's the other one?
"Of course I did. Two more weeks or something."
"Right. But you don't want to do this anymore, do you? I'm an injured man."
"Don't guide me, Lord. The next protagonist is not the Lord"
"Is it certain that something will happen..."
I sigh one thing, and I gooper my hands. Trembling fingertips. A feeling of bone twitching. I can't even shake my sword properly with this.
... which I can't do right now. Whether you get hurt or not, you just die the way you are.
"Well, don't take care of it."
"Lord, things happen. They happen. This demon riot, for example. If I hadn't moved, the empire would have perished in the worst case scenario. But, no matter how much information I manipulated, it all happened. It's just the difference between late and early. Instead, I think it was less damaging."
"I know, that's not true. Just give me a report. All of a sudden I'm sorry."
"Kukuku, I accepted"
On the way this time, there were times when I was unconscious, and there is no denying that there was madness in Cecil's calculations. If my consciousness had always been there, I would have acted with the braves. I'm pretty sure the head screws are missing, but for that reason, I didn't say it too strongly.
"So, what's the information on the killer?
"Hmm, I have no idea what that is. Probably not stopping by the city. Just..."
"Just?"
I repeated a lot of Cecil's words and encouraged them to continue.
"There are many sightings of a Reaper-like existence"
"Reaper? Is that it? You think I'm flirting with God's sake?
I need information about that reaper, or I need it. How can I say that, I need it. I have to deliver the fairy god's word.
But I don't see why the name of Reaper accompanies the information on the killer. Listen, it doesn't seem to matter at all.
"Mr. Kitchick, if you say such unbelievable things, you will be killed by the Reapers, won't you?
"Whoa, hey, that's God. All my good gods were good people, right?
Except for the Evil God. But, well, wouldn't we have met? I have shards of that soul.
"Kitchick, have you ever met God?
"Only dragon gods and fairy gods"
"That means you have two of the top seven secrets..."
"You're clear. Well, maybe it's not a positive offense, but leave that..."
Forced to modify the orbit of a near away story,
"Why would Reaper be involved in a killer's whereabouts?
I put into words what I doubted.
"Does my husband not know the myth of Reaper?
"For a kid who does bad things, Reaper's coming to kill him - a threatening child trick, isn't he? I know."
That's a nasty bald myth, isn't it?
"I don't know. I'm childish, but that's generally the story. However, it is not child deception"
"What? Seriously, do you want to kill me?
You're a real reaper. You're not at the level to make kids cry. You're just a horror.
"I hear it's happened a few times in the past."
"Wow, I... need to wash your hands a little"
"Knitting, you got scared, didn't you?
"Chi, no! Don't say anything extra, Haruki!
Dyed red with embarrassment in his face, Ruzuki went outside the room to escape.
"Ah, like the moon."
And as if there were only some memories there, I speak on its back.
Watch your back.
"Hih..."
A moon like the one that attracted the zozzled face. My gaze came and went outside and inside the room, and in the end, I gently returned to where I had been in silence. Me and Haruki were desperate to laugh.
"Leaving aside any sightings of Reaper because Rutsuki did something that would kill him..."
"Chi, no! That was just an act of mercy! Smells good, with...!
"... well, leave me alone if Ruzuki is gaining weight..."
"Heh, heh, I'm not fat! I just picked it! Because it's low calories!
I turned away from the moon in tears and desperately objected, deliberately to Cecil. Funny how Haruki's face pounds Ruyue's shoulder with her face swollen like a pukku fugue.
Look at that, Kee! I listened as I threw the combination of the much angrier Rutsuki and Haruki out of consciousness.
"So Cecil wants to tell you that the Reaper's purpose is a killer?
"Exactly"
"I see... Sure, I don't feel weird for an end, but how is Reaper chasing a killer? Even Cecil said he couldn't get the information... what do you think of Luxeria?
As far as I don't know much about the existence of Reaper, I didn't feel the grounds were faint, but I asked my thoughtful Luxeria for her opinion.
"As far as I'm concerned, I think Cecil has a lot of potential. The rationale is that Reaper is divine in his will to give judgment to the Dark One and that his power is unknown. I can't believe I'm tracking you with some special technique that God only allowed me to do."
"I see..."
I snort and convince Luxeria of her views.
Indeed, the power of God is unknown. I've been thinking a lot about that, and all I get is speculation that's not the answer. And in that speculation, you can have what Luxeria calls tracking.
The rationale is thin. And there's no corroboration. But...
"All right, let's go find Reaper"
I have a promise to the fairy god, and most importantly, I can't think of any means to counter the killer right now, except relying on God. It's too irresponsible to leave him like this, and honestly, I think he's suspicious that even his father can win.
I haven't seen my father for real yet, so I don't know for sure, but it won't be a must-win for someone who can make that speed.
Then we have to ask Reaper. Now that we don't know if Reaper is really after the killer, we just have to go see him with confirmation and informational implications. From what I've heard, the purpose seems to be to bring the bad guys to justice, and I'm sure they'll listen.
The question is how to find it...
"Cecil, come with me. I need your help."
"Cool, got it."
"And, Huck. I'm not feeling well, so I need your help."
"Pi!"
Cecil's on his way. Gather information ahead, Huck needs it for the move.
"How about Luxeria spend some time with your wives? It's not going to be a battle, and I'm here to see if I can get under the umbrella of the Empire, so look at this city right now. You haven't seen anywhere but the Empire yet, have you?
"Hmm, right. Let's just say it's sweet for my husband's words."
"Others... it's not about me talking. Well, we're all gonna have business, and we're gonna go alone this time."
I guess there won't be more I can do where I follow you.
"Well, let's go then"
"... seems to give you some water though"
In an attempt to make a quick way, as he rises from his bet, Sylvia tends to reluctantly pinch his mouth.
"Don't you have to rest?
"Sylvia... you think I can rest in peace?
"I don't think I can."
"... let's just say I wanted you to think a little bit, not instantly"
After saying such hopeless hopes, we left the city.
After we left Arctia, we stopped in the nearest city where Reaper had been witnessed. So, rather than having met Reaper in person, I was able to hear from those who were judged.
It was the young adventurer who was judged. His story said that when he was walking in the city, suddenly he was struck by a chill and turned around, and a slurring man stood, based on black and white. The man was carrying a big sickle, and his face seemed thin and thin.
said the man.
"Giving God Judgment" and.
And in the next moment, he had his neck scratched off with a sickle. He thought he was dead.
But the male adventurer was alive. He said his neck, which should have been cut off, was connected and there were no scratches.
"Looks like you're doing good."
That seemed to be the end of it. Apparently, the figure of a man who seemed to be a reaper had disappeared while he blinked.
When I first heard this story, I really thought this guy might have fallen asleep, but then everyone in the city and village would tell me the same thing. And it's always the adventurer or the imperial soldier who speaks of being beheaded. That number exceeded 100.
And vice versa, I also found the guy who was decapitated.
It was a man of bad business who was beheaded. Besides, Cecil looked into it, and it seems he had a connection with Iris, the mastermind of the demon riots.
I interrupted his shop line on my own, and some of the merchandise contained the protection of the evil gods.
I was sure at this time.
The Reaper's judgment is real.
I don't know what the criterion is, but he says he discerns good and evil and gives judgment.
And, perhaps, because not all of the cities and villages where Reapers stopped were beheaded, I thought that those who were beheaded had something in common.
The first thing that came up at that time was the presumption of the protection of the Evil God. I was concerned that the numbers were numbers, and only adventurers and imperial soldiers. It was on his mind that Iris could have been running water into the city as potions and antidotes, including the protection of the evil gods, so he immediately wondered if some of them had accumulated the protection of the evil gods.
The decision-maker was a merchant killed in court. The fact that he was connected to Iris is fully considered to include the protection of the Evil God.
And I thought that what separated life from death was the difference between reaching for it myself or not.
I'm guessing. but determine the good and evil of past deeds, and judge men in the extraction of God. If you have such power, you deserve it to bear the name of Reaper.
This reaper is real.
Once you are so sure, you will also be more powerful in your search for Reaper.
The location is unknown, and rarely can you find a place to stay. Had it not been for the protection of the Evil God sprinkled like this, there would not have been a clue in our ears about its existence.
The only way to preach the fairy god's word is now.
"Pii."
At the end of the rope bracketed on Haku's tail, I nodded to Haku's report as he sat strongly against the wind. Next to me Cecil is connected to the rope as well and enjoys walking in the air, but he looks like he'll really enjoy it. Maybe he's part of a crazy party. Me? Of course I'm part of it. 'Cause it's fun.
"Pippy!"
"Have you seen the city yet? That's fast."
Haku has reported seeing the city. Even though I haven't stood for a day since I left the previous city, I've already reached the next city.
You're fast on boulders.
Haku was doing great. The protection of the evil gods, which would probably have been taken, is also undone, the same as before. Perhaps the portion taken was also supplied by the Dragon God.
"Bye, Huck. Do as you always do."
"Pi!"
Haku's body stops rapidly, along with Haku's energetic reply. Then, according to inertia, me and Cecil were flushed forward of Haku...
"" Ghe!
The two of us groan at the heavy pressure on our bellies from the rope stretched out with the pins, and we go space fishing on the blanc and the sky.
Then, he is taken by a hack that slowly begins to descend, descending at the foot of the mountain directly below.
"Lord, every time, but what can we do?
"... I'll think about it later"
Sure, it's good when you're flying this way, but there's a lot of load involved when you take off and land. Specifically, on the belly.
When boarding the current Haku flight, you should not eat rice before boarding. It releases.
"This would be the last place to think about it later, wouldn't it? It would be helpful to have some information about where Reaper is going."
So far, there has been no information on where Reaper is going. Even with Cecil's arm, the only thing that gathers is the information that Reaper is Reaper, and there's nothing else to clue where he is.
"Well, do you expect the last informant to go"
Yes, it was when I said untie the bracketed rope.
Dogahhhhhhhhhhh
It was almost simultaneously with the roaring sound of heaven and earth that the impact arrived as if there had been an explosion somewhere.
"Knock..."
A blast about to blow your body away scratches the clouds and scatters the leaves of the trees around you. Not only that, but the mountains near which the earth swayed partially collapsed, and the birds flew up into the sky in unison.
Meanwhile, I was crossing my hands and taking that blast. As the injury crept, Haku could see my body, and Cecil could see flying away like paper, but couldn't afford to cover it.
Fortunately, however, it was an instant and calmed down before the body raised its roots.
"What is that now..."
"Lord, isn't it now? There's no such thing as a reaper and a killer."
Cecil came back as if nothing had happened, etc. I don't scratch either, I get into the conversation.
"Hey, are you bumping into me now?
I don't even know where it happened. My body blows up in the aftermath of the fight. I have to tell you, you're off track. I was under the illusion that there was an explosion in front of me.
"Let's go. Which is the center of the explosion?
"Beyond. I smell blood."
"All right, we're getting close to the unwinding position."
So, now he slowed down a little, rode Haku's back, and flew towards the blast site. There's nothing you can do in case you're connected to a rope.
That's how you get on Huck's back for an hour.
We'll get to where we left off the heavy fighting marks.
"This is... this is where the Continental Bridge is, right?
"It should be... but this looks terrible."
Beneath our eyes was a bridge that stretched slightly from the earth and the unusual appearance of a small city in front of it.
Remnants of a bridge scattered around you, as though to say it came down from the sky as if it were rain. Not only in the sea, but throughout the city and in the buildings crushed by the debris, there is still a hand in rescue. Meanwhile, in the sea at the end of the bridge, a variety of things emerged that seemed to be commodities carried by the pedestrians, as if they had butched the contents of the trash can. It soon became clear that some of them also mixed voices of those seeking help, perhaps caught in the midst of crossing the continental bridge.
There are also many injured people on the city's seaside and the muggly wet who lend them a hand. Its face is filled with fear and sorrow, and some of them seem to be unstoppable with tremors.
And whoever notices this one there, looks at Huck and screams.
"Ri, it's a dragon!
To that voice, people look up into the sky and scream all over the city.
"That's not good...... Huck, get smaller now. Cecil's got me."
"Pi!"
Copy that.
The smaller hack is over my head, and Cecil slurps like a dead fish beside me.
And I use fixed space, slowly lowering altitude, and standing directly above the city...
"Listen, we're here to rescue you! This dragon is the dragon I Tamed! I will not harm you!
A shout that passes across the city, indicating that there is no hostility. But still, it's not like there's no one to suspect.
At present, the fact that Haku has grown smaller does not seem to be as fearful as the first time, but it does not change that it is a suspicious group that suddenly appeared.
So I decided to reveal myself a little bit.
"My name is Ray! He's the winner of last year's militant tournament!
I really didn't want to reveal it, but I can't change my belly on my back. The martial arts tournament is a famous event in the world beyond this continent, so if you are the winner of that tournament, you should be well known. Identification.
"You're lying...? Because here's the winner of the martial arts tournament..."
"No, but you have a name, too. Besides, I've heard stories about Taming dragons."
"What? So, real? He's floating in the sky... and he really beat one genius in that millennium..."
In the city at your feet, such exchanges will be happening here and there, by the time less than a minute has passed......
"" Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. ""
It was a big cheer.
The atmosphere, which tended to be depressing, is also renewed, and only a little hope sprouts in them.
"Listen to me! I'm gonna go help whoever fell off the bridge now! Who is confident in swimming and who is still healthy ⁉"
"I'm fine!" "Me too!" "Me too!
Many raise their hands and give them names.
"Then whoever is confident in power, to rescue all over the city! Anyone who isn't, get in on this!
When I said that, I took the ship out of the storage space. I didn't want to show off in front of too many people, but well. Because I've hidden my power, and it doesn't mean a lot.
The ship I took out was once carried to Wearinese. It was rebuilt so that it could be repaired or improved and floated somehow.
"Huck, it may be tough, but can you ask for it?
"Pi!"
Haku leaps up vigorously leaving it to him, turning his body up and descending beside the ship.
"Come on, get in!
