"Ochi. All right, Mia, why don't you do something to play after dinner? Oh, you can still eat slowly."
"Ugh, yeah......"
Midir College is upstairs in the student building, in the usual dining room.
The drift shelter that flattened the dinner took it that way to Mia sitting in the opposite seat. There's still about half a tomato risotto left on the little plate placed in front of her.
The first expedition to Bobo was decided, the day after that.
One of the accompanying members, Belgrette, was also to serve as an adjunct to the Fellows, so he became busy helping with preparations, paperwork, etc., and was now unable to accompany him to this dinner seat.
She was initially puzzled not to know why she had been selected as this expeditionary officer.
But as a shield, I'm not surprised.
Belgrette brings together the brains of the top substantive colleges, and that knowledge is no less than that of teachers. The handling of sword arms and combat techniques is now quite considerable. Currently she maintains a high standard in both aspects of Wen Wu.
The more important this mandate is, the less reason it is not chosen the other way around.
On the other hand, it was an exodus chosen in anticipation of simple force only, but there is nothing in particular to be done beforehand.
The role of the guerrillas is to eliminate the obstacles that occur in the expedition. I encounter resentment demons more than once and expect them to be in battle. Preparing for this, eating well and sleeping well can also be a job.
This expedition lasts about a month. There was also a desire to spend as much time with Mia as possible before that because it would be a long time.
"I don't know. You want to do it, Tradiera?
"Ugh, um..."
"I knew I'd do it with my own word puzzle. It's self-confidence."
"Ugh, yeah."
"Or is that it, you want to play with my phone? I haven't been feeling well lately."
"Mmm..."
... I can just tell by the drift protection they say is dull.
Obviously, there's something wrong with Mia.
By the way, this is not a limited time story right now. Yesterday - it's been like this ever since we talked about our first mission to Bo.
"... Oh, I'm sorry, Lugo. I knew there was something I had to do..."
"Hey, what? Is that your homework? If there's anything I can do, I can help."
"Ugh, yeah, I'm fine! I have to do it myself, because it doesn't make sense..."
Hurry the rest of the tomato risotto in, and Mia takes a good seat with the gutter.
"Welcome! I'm sorry, Lugo. See you tomorrow!
Shortly after Lifeguard said something, the girl left the dining room on a small run with Totetote.
…… …………
Liquid shield stuck at the front, striking the table with a gong on the forehead as it was.
If you don't make it slight,
"He's dying."
A familiar thick voice came to my ear.
"Digossarn......"
Raising his face to shrug, the usual invincible grin of a giant almost sat in Mia's seat until just now.
"Since yesterday, I feel like my daughter is avoiding me. What should I do (fifteen - guerrilla)"
"Let's not avoid it. I don't think you're just worried about the Lord. We're going on a massive expedition like never before."
"But... if you're worried, you can spend extra time with me, okay? Oh, during class or something... you know what Mia was like when you were in class?
"It always seemed the same."
"Hmmm......"
I wonder if he cares too much, and the boy bothers his head.
"But... I've been back from Lefe for a while, too, because I've had a lot of college vacations... and I wonder if I've come there and been caught loving you or something."
"Is Mia such an asshole?"
"Huh?"
"Is Mia the kind of daughter who bends Heso like that, knowing the Lord's hardships"
"That's... that's not true..."
"Then I'll get the answer."
"Ah..."
I have often been alone since I was a child, thanks to my homeless self, my father, who tends to vacate the house. Mother is in the other world early in a car accident. Sometimes I get stubborn when I was really little. But I learned early that my father was working for me, and I stopped saying it. I was rarely told that I was an adult for my age, but maybe that's how I learned about my parents' struggles.
When there was no father, he took care of his childhood friend Colorful Flowers and his family. Much helped.
……
Scratching his head boldly, he turns to the giant to correct his residence.
"... Digos. Can you help Mia while I'm away?
"F. Now it's also like saying in awe. Everyone supports him from time to time... and vice versa.
"... well. Okay, please."
It seemed to be an illuminating fashion shield.
"Oh, but that's it. Um... Alverista guy doesn't seem to get any closer to Mia than he needs to..."
I was just looking at my father with my face on.
"Oops. There you are, drifting cum."
"..., Dr. Rock"
What came was a suspicious researcher in white.
"I need to talk to you for a second. I was wondering if you could come over to the research building at night when you're free."
"... talk, is it? I'm just finishing up. I don't mind if I do now."
"Really? Then I'm sorry, but can I borrow some stray cum, Digos"
With those words, the giant man deepens his usual grin: "Ni......"
"No problem, Dr. Rockwave. No return required."
"Hey, Dr. Diegos."
As such, it was the first time in a long time that I was to take a trip to the Doctor's research building.
"Diegos and I seem to have lost a lot of distance."
If you want to go back to your room, light a cigarette and the Doctor laughs with pleasure.
"No, well..."
When they say that to the face, that's kind of embarrassing.
"After what we talked about in the struggle at the Heavenly Bombardment Festival, it became a pattern that allowed us to forgive our hearts...? Yeah, it's nice like a boy cartoon."
"Well, that's a good idea."
It's been a long time since I've visited the Doctor's research building in this way. One room of all-you-can-scatter researchers is the same as before - no, it seems like more paper bundles such as paperwork have been done. Was it the original material about the boiler?
"Well, what's the story?
"Oh... I thought I'd talk to you before I go to my first bobble."
The Doctor puts a cigarette in the ashtray that he hasn't smoked yet and looks at the drifting protection eyes from the front.
"This is not as the researcher Rockwave Teru the Great, but as Iwawave Fai... only to the same Japanese native, Liquid Protection Kun, to talk to."
"... something, change it"
"The matter of an unidentified monster, encountered on his first assignment by the shipwreck Kung. That's an example of a grudge demon talking. The truth has roughly turned out, so I thought I'd report it."
"Huh! Seriously, Suka......!?
You'll never forget it.
Suburbs of the city of Dealey. A dark, deep cave that was spreading behind a depressed and lush forest. Communication and tactics An unidentified monster lurked in that place where the enemy's technique was a dysfunctional hacienda. A person-shaped weird, covered in black hair.
"Colositeal Lugo"
Such groans of resentment and breathlessness, a dark nightmare.
Incidentally, Dr. Locke - No, Iwami Fai said so.
"The monster is a human being."
".................. eh,"
to lost speech drift protection, but researchers continue to say as they naturally do.
"Didn't you even think of drifting kung fu thinly?
".................. that, ha"
"And if that's the end of the human race... we're still talking about who it is."
The fluid shield even stops breathing unconsciously and waits for its continuation. Wait for the conclusion.
"The identity of that monster is Redrack. The Mafia boss fought you so hard over Mia's pattern... it's Braverly Redrack."
…………
Unexpectedly lose words.
But something, I felt like the road had gone through.
After a clash over Mia, the Mafia leader had fallen into the river and was missing. The man, who was supposed to have been caught in the flow leading to the city of Dealey, had not even been found dead, however.
"Hihi, hihi. Lugo, I wonder if it was. I gave that kid back, and that's enough, right? What can I do for you?
"Colositeal Lugo"
The man knew the name of the shield. Somehow he's the one who was shamed by the auction. In retaliation, you must have searched up your identity desperately.
If you do think in the Doctor's theory, you can solve the mystery about the whereabouts of Ledrack, the things the monster said - that he knew the name of the shield.
"... but... how did you know that the monster was Redrak?
"Yeah. About that."
The remains of the monster, handed over by Kelisdel Vinais of the Silver Legion Forces Silverios, who was partitioning that mission, were said to have been immediately turned over to the autopsy.
Tough muscles, deformed and enlarged visceral organs...... Raindeer researchers didn't realize if they were distracted by them, but Iwawave Fai quickly nursed them.
The general location of the organs was exactly the same as that of humans.
And most of all, it was heterogeneous.
"It was hard to tell because it was healing with other organs... the heart... and there were three things."
The forbidden technique that transplanting the organs of others will only increase the possession of the soul and heart power Prarna, or even allow the Oracle of the Divine Chant of the person upon whom it originated to be exercised. A devilish place of business realized by a 'penta' named Kinzor Granshua.
By means of this technique, Redrack was hanging two external hearts on its body, greatly enhancing his soul and heart strength, Prarna. That man will possess all three hearts.
"Conversely, it's like finding out that it was Redrak because he had three hearts. I can't be sure strictly because I'm not a wacko enough to do a detailed scientific investigation... I guess I'm more right to say that my shape is pretty much the same, and since the incident, it's like there's been no eyewitness testimony and I'm still missing, and I clapped that I'm the guy. But I think it's pretty much definite."
The Doctor's right, almost certainly.
Though covered in black body hair, that slender, low back length and protruding large belly do exactly match Redrack's physique if you recall.
"... Damn it"
Unexpectedly, the drift shield was leaking groans from the gap in his teeth.
"What... I'll kill you, yes... Just kidding."
"Ha. Damn, revenge is a terrible story."
The identity of that monster was Redrack. That's fine.
But naturally, the biggest question will remain.
"... but, Doctor... how could he..."
"Yeah. Why did he turn into such a monster?"
It's not that uncommon.
The 'setting' is that the identity of the obscure compound was actually human -. Regardless, if it's a creation, it's a story.
"Since I became a guerrilla, I've read a lot of books and stuff about this world... but I've never seen anything like it."
"Yeah, I'm the same. I've never seen anything like it, and I've never heard of it, even if I try to string up a scribe or heirloom with a strong footprint. I don't know about the legacy of a corpse, but it's a different story."
Assuming there are facts that make humans monsters, there should be a few of those rumors, legends, etc. The absence of it means that
"It's going to be an event with no precedent in the past. People turn into monsters, what a phenomenon."
……
But that's actually happening.
"But it is. Redrack practices in its own right that there has been no precedent in the past"
"... ah!
By Kinzor Granshua, "Fusion". The very act of acquiring new power by taking in the organs of others -.
"That's what caused it...? Even so, why..."
"Exactly, I haven't figured that out yet. However, one of the constituents of the example Norstación, who was previously captured in the King's capital terror, said it was interesting."
There was a man named Brandal, who was' fused 'within them, leading to the acquisition of a powerful soul and mind, Prarna, and multiple attributes. After he finished the procedure, he tried to use this and the technique to confuse the power gained.
"He was suffering from severe headaches and nausea when he tried to force it. He was. He had a chill running all over his body and felt like his body was no longer his. Because of that, Opto's power didn't seem to have been used to perfection."
"My body, not mine..."
As the word goes - does that really mean that Redrack?
"Anyway. That the monster's identity was Redrak. So, I thought the cause was probably that 'fusion'. That's all. I'm going to report it to Shipwreck."
"Really..."
This would be a major advance. Kinzor, which allows such 'fusion', has also been arranged as a prize neck, but there has been no tone out since then. If we do not capture it quickly, will a second and third 'carbide' emerge?
If the drift guard pointed out that point, the Doctor scratched his head with a bitter look.
"I am, but hey. I just can't publicize the fact that people have become such monsters. It's just drifting kung fu, and I told you this story. I haven't spoken to any other researchers or His Majesty."
I don't know, but I don't.
So far, there are expressions that I have dared to avoid. That's what I finally say.
"In the end... that's a grudge demon, isn't it? Redrack means he's become a grudge demon... right?
"... technically, there is no fine definition of the existence of a grudge demon. I don't know the details or anything, because that's the generic name of the monsters. It's just... if people in this world saw that Redrack, everyone would recognize him as a grudge demon."
Not just the people of this world. Because he also encountered that existence and thought he was a resentful demon without any doubt.
Soul Heart Power "Prarna" and Divine Chant "Oracle" are divinely endowed and holy powers. The grudge demon is fascinated by the devil and a family of evil.
How, even though the product of a foreign law called 'fusion' is more deeply rooted than such common sense, the fact that people have become resentful demons as a result of acquiring new powers - and so on - will not be something that can be made public by mistake.
"In the first place, I don't know what a grudge demon is..."
"My view is that organisms have evolved their own in this world... Drautlaw is a monkey. Farvnar is a chameleon-like reptile. Kamakiri if Predileke...... did a dragonfly come out of it? No, it's interesting. Together, they all look like ancestors or imagine their origins. And this time, the mysterious power of Kinzor forced humans to 'evolve'... I don't know if that was Redrack."
Anyway, I shoulder to shoulder that as a researcher I still can't say anything because the clarification has not progressed. At the same time, he softened his expression a lot.
"That's why... the next original Bobo expedition. I want to be successful."
"Huh? What does that have to do with...?
I don't know the connection between the stories, and the shield listens back with a frightened face.
"Recovery of Prarna, an extremely pure soul and heart. If this is done, it could change our perception of the very existence of the soul and mind, Prarna. From the idea of invisible divine grace, energy visible and available… etc. That would make it easier to carry out research."
If the perception of the soul heart power Prarna changes, one day there may be a day when we can also make public about the mutation of Redrack.
Pushing up his glasses, the Doctor smiles that he seems to be somewhat adept at.
"We're now... going to change a lot, maybe we're about to make that milestone."
"Ha..."
I think so as a drift shield, but it was one story that I haven't really felt yet. If this mission succeeds, for example, if I can fly communications using sealing tools myself, would it be something different again?
"Well, for now, it's nice to see you as an escort for the day. Arai guerrillas"
"Ha... Well, Doctor, is this the first time you've been away like this?
"Right. I've never been on an expedition as a Raindeer researcher. That's more than just pulling me out of my drawstring. That's all the king meant."
"I see..."
"If we learn more about the soul and mind" Prarna "on this assignment, we may also be able to figure out what caused the Redrack to happen. In the meantime, let's stick together."
No heart or the Doctor seemed to shine his eyes. After all, the quest for the unknown doesn't inspire the heart of a race called researchers.
"Doctor... are you okay with long distance carriage trips or something? If you don't get used to it, it might be tight. Research is good, but you might want to keep a little strength now."
"Oh, yeah?
It had been a long time since the Japanese had spoken to each other, and the evening was getting late.
