Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
364. Invisible price
College yard shining with fresh snow.
The popular Hitoshi is lined up with driftshields, Mia, Leafia, and Dr. Rock in front of a spacious silver land that is also empty.
"So, Leafia Windfall, let me get back to" The First "of Coverage...!
A little windy girl, in a good mood, advanced a step forward, nodded as she was ready.
"Uh-huh! Because you don't have to feel so bad about it. Hey, Leafia, whoa, whoa."
Her hair was also still dirty, which was not allowed by the expression cat strokes and the like. against Dr. Locke, whose source,
"Staaap!"
Refugee with the right to be a soldier jumped at no time.
"I'm here. Right! Hey, hey! What do you do all of a sudden, drifting cum!? There he is! Oh, break it! Break!"
"Li, Lugo!? Dr. Rock's arm is amazing! What's going on?
"Li, Li, Mr. Lugo......! The Doctor's in pain! Oh, please don't."
"Ha!?
Lifeguard, who returned to me after three protests, unlocked the chicken wing arm lock he had planted on the Doctor.
"Shit, early in the New Year, I thought my arms would crush... Hey, what are you doing, drifting cum..."
Liquid protection bowed her head in confusion to the man in white who held her shoulders down and also constantly fixed her glasses.
"No... the Doctor's voice was so suspicious that he impulsively seized him as a guerrilla..."
"Again, you can be keen to work early in the year... Just don't get wet."
"Wet, clothes...?
"Why do you look so out-of-heart! That's terrible wet clothes! I'm looking at Leafy with a limitless, pure parental gaze!
While laughing bitterly at the idiotic exchange between the two men, the girls activated their first divine chant of the year, Oracle, and worked on the ritual of "Beginning of Protection". The white thunder emitted by Mia melts the thin snow accumulation, and the winds of Leafia clamp up the powdered snow.
Looking at such a sight, Dr. Locke was glaring and narrowing his eyes.
"Are you looking at me sexually?
"I didn't see it! What do you think I am..."
Answering, the Doctor took the cigarette out of his white pocket. but the match box I kept trying to pull out slips off and falls tosari over the snow.
"Oh, I'll pick it up."
Wet clothes (self-declared) apologies are also combined with drift protection picks up,
"Thankyou flow shield cum... did it get wet..."
It touched the damp snow and the friction area on the side of the box (which Dr. Locke told me he called a side or lateral medicine) was turning into a babbling.
"Whoa, I got this place."
The good nodded driftshield took a single match out of the box and
"Oops."
I quickly rubbed the tip on the surface of my fist I gripped. In the form of a beat delay, a small spark burns up. It is a craftsmanship that can be done because it is a match of different materials than those used in modern Japan.
"Come on, boss."
"Oh, Bravo. The alias for" Fist Strike "Luckels" isn't Dade. Speaking of which, it could have been an old American movie or something, the way you could dot it at the bottom of your jeans and boots. I admired you. "
The doctor finally finishes the cigarette ignition with a match that Lifeguard gave his cousin his regards.
"Phew...... I don't know about drift protection. What do you think of the power of" Oracle "?
Spitting smoke satisfactorily, researchers have asked such a question as I recall.
"Huh? How... Sora, all of a sudden... you're vague."
In front of you, Mia and Leafia are now exercising exactly that divine chant, Oracle. Lightning that flies according to people's will, whirlwinds that roll.
The power of different worlds that I am now completely used to seeing, even as a drift shield. So, what I don't have.
"That's right...... After all, it's" strong. "
"Hmm. That sounds like a drifting kung fu opinion."
The power that can resist a big man, even a little girl of the body, like Mia and Leafia. In this world, you can't just be a powerful big man.
"How about something else?
"Mm... that's how you're gonna ask me, you mean it wasn't the answer the Doctor expected. Oh, yeah."
Even if you try to get away from the battle, the presence of that alien is still huge.
For example - squeezing textiles using the water that Belgrette has summoned, Mia allowing her cell phone to charge with the power of thunder, Lenore creating ice chunks in the summer to cool off, and Edvin burning trash easily with flames.
The same thing is true of the sealing tool, which is currently being developed by obtaining the crystal of the soul and mind "Prarna". Where they aim is, after all, to make life easier. Improved convenience.
In other words:
"Er..." Convenient, "or something?
"Yes, you're right!
It seemed to be the right answer, and the leader in the study of Divine Chanting "Oracle" largely endorses it.
"For example, I'm supposed to be a user of flame attributes on the surface, but if you can really handle the technique, it's easy to light a cigarette. I don't even have to go out of my way like this to carry a match"
"Well, sure"
"If the development of sealing instruments continues in the future, there will be days when you will be more comfortable than you can even compare now. I'm sure its future isn't that far away"
I don't even have to think about it. That's definitely a good thing.
That's why drift protection was a concern. The fact that the Doctor has a face that doesn't float anywhere.
"For example. The car is convenient, but if you run, you use gas, and you get the exhaust gas out."
"Ha."
"Industry has developed and people's lives have become richer, but instead, environmental issues have become screaming, right? I only know what happened fifteen years ago, but what's going on these days?
"Yes, you do. I've heard stories about how warming is and how the sea level is going to rise and some islands are going to sink..."
"Hmmm... I don't know why, it's still that different"
Even with nostalgic eyes, the Doctor continues.
"I won't say that… behind comfort and convenience, you'll probably be paid a price commensurate with that - I think."
Everything is exchanged equivalently.
I wonder if that would be the same in this world.
The researchers touched the core as they watched two girls from different worlds playing with pleasure.
"I've always thought in a corner of my mind. This incredibly convenient power called the Divine Chant" Oracle ". By using this, people don't have to pay the price."
There is too little risk for this alien called the Divine Chant "Oracle".
That's what experts who study that power point out.
After a lot of thought, the drifting shield opens its mouth.
"No, but... if you use the Divine Chant" Oracle, "you're consuming the soul heart power" Prarna, "right? Sounds like the chant has a lot of focus..."
"Normal people do."
Following the Doctor's gaze, the drift shield is hacked.
The "Beginning of Protection" is over, and two girls only play with snow how long. One of them, look at Leafia.
"Yes. The soul and heart power" Prarna "held by" Penta "is also said to be inexhaustible. Basically, you don't even need chanting. Of course, if we keep using it, we'll drain our health, but that's the same reason we get tired if we keep walking. If you think about the scale of the Divine Chant" Oracle, "it's not what you can call a price."
……
"It doesn't have to be Penta. It's the same thing."
The Doctor points out.
"People in this world have not released anything equivalent to exhaust gas, although it is necessary to consume gasoline in the exercise of the divine chanting technique Oracle, named Pralna."
……
"It's the same sealing tool that we're about to make. If research proceeds, it will surely also produce a substitute that is so convenient that it cannot be beaten by what is on Earth. So far, we don't even expect to have to consume finite resources. But...... is it really something that you can continue to enjoy just that convenience without paying any consideration? Is there such a convenient story? That's how I think."
"But... that's okay, right? If it's not risky, I don't think I've ever been over it."
"Yeah. I think so too. If it really is, then nothing's wrong"
While agreeing, the Doctor's expression is stiff.
The reason for this was told immediately.
"What I think scares me about here is, 'If they were taking risks while I didn't know'"
"? Details"
Liquid protection, which I did not immediately understand, frowns and inquires.
The Doctor said it once now.
"I mean... no one has just noticed, and the risk of using the Divine Chant" Oracle "may be created. Maybe you're paying the price before you know it, just because you don't know it."
Behind living conveniently, environmental pollution is progressing. But no one is aware of that fact.
"I hope that risk is small enough to be invisible and negligible. But... given the convenience of the Divine Chant" Oracle, "I imagine something really big."
One day, the day may come when you will be paid for that huge arsehole.
That was the story.
"As we also know, the Raindeer and surrounding countries have adopted an annual number called the Continental Calendar. Exactly today, this is the year 782, but... about 800 years, on a planetary or cosmic scale, it's an instant."
"Ha."
"The ruins of my fall in the original Bobo were estimated to be more than a thousand years old, and there is a famous fairy tale called Dark Forest and the First Two, which is also spelled out more than a thousand years ago. Looks like they've found excavations that won't last thousands of years. Before the Continental Calendar, there was a mysterious era called the Old Age."
"Well, there's BC on Earth, too."
There is no need to know about the history of mankind in this world, but people would have existed even before the year was set.
"Yeah. It's just that unlike BC, there's very little information left about the old days of this world. None of them, you can say. What countries and people were there and what civilizations existed? There's nothing left of those stories now."
"Yeah, I don't know. Well, I've certainly never heard of it."
"... for example. What if something terrible happened to the people of the old days?
…………
About 800 years ago. Enough to leave nothing behind for future generations, attacked people.
"Does that mean... 'the price'...?
"No, it's just my discretionary imagination. All the people of the old days were troublesome and may have just left no oral traces or literature behind. I'm just certain there's an unnatural void. Five hundred years ago, the anecdotes of Geisserius were so full of stars that no one knew anything about the other three hundred years."
…………
"I came to this world and wondered when I learned some history and culture. Too few people, I guess."
"Number?"
"The total population of Raindeer is approximately 320,000. Seventy thousand in a refeit called the Great Power. Neighbor to the west, the bulk default is 260,000. Other neighboring countries are about 50,000 to 100,000... I don't know. None of them are too small for the total population of a single nation, don't you think? If there is an estimated history of mankind for thousands of years or more, it is more."
…………
When I usually live, I'm not even aware of what the total population of the state is.
"Together, all the population of this area is just over a million and a half million. I think there are dangerous creatures that see humanity as the enemy of resentment, but I think it's a little less for the length of history."
In other words, has the number of mankind been drastically reduced by some major catastrophe?
As God's blessing, Oracle, a divine chant that we all continue to use as normal without any doubt.
But that gives a negative price where no one knows… something like exhaust gas accumulates a little bit. Slowly, over hundreds of years.
And one day, they crossed the tolerances...
"No... don't say anything inconsiderate. Can't help it, can you?"
"Ha. It's more of a paranoia than a hypothesis. I guess I spoke a little too much sense. I'm talking about Yotai until I'm full. I'm pretty sure something happened eight hundred years ago, but if you think about it in due course, did a massive natural mutation occur or did the plague spread... Or did you not pass on history to future generations for any reason? Because about the population, there may just happen to be a small number of people on this continent. It's possible that a huge number of people live normally in the distance that we don't know."
"What? Something. In the end, you mean you're kidding."
"Yes. Stick around from various angles and look for new discoveries. That's the kind of race we are."
Laughing so, the Doctor even exhaled cigarette smoke deliciously.
As one of those who held research positions in modern Japan, he seemed to feel the evil of being stuck in something called 'a force that can continue to be used without any price and without bounds'.
When Professor Huiyuan Iwawave's course was adjourned like that, I saw Leafia rushing over here playing with the snow. I really follow and adore the way you tread so hard through the land of snow with bad scaffolding while letting your white breath out.
"Duh, I did. Hey, Leafia, Chihuahua, huh?
There was no trace of dust left in Iwawave Fai at that moment, such as his face as the discerner of the day, and the pronounced foul voice was reminiscent of that of the inferior sex offender.
"Whenever the Doctor makes that fucking dirty voice, will you pay me a 'price'? As a compensation."
"I didn't tell you!?
The 'Penta' girl, who had come all the way up to those two, was letting loosely swaying ripples unfold just beside her face. Maintaining it is hard, and things like that make me smile, but apparently I'm in the process of connecting with someone.
"Ah, ahhh... Mr. Lugo. Your Majesty is here for you."
"What, the king? To me?"
The girl nods "yes" if she asks for drift protection pointing to her face. Early in the New Year, should it be a nomination from an unexpected opponent?
"Er, this is the shield..."
Calling on the wave of the divine chant Oracle maintained by Leafia,
"Um, Lugo? It's Aldia. We're having a new year, but please say hello again this year '
Indeed, the thick voice of the king, now accustomed to hearing, has flown.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
In response to the King's greeting, which bears a passage of sacred poetry but is very strict,
"Good morning, Your Majesty. May the great king have the guidance of the gods this year."
Dr. Locke responds safely. Leafia was closing her eyes with her hands together right next door.
"Um, is Rockwave with you? Nice to meet you both this year."
"Ha. We will do everything in our power to keep up with the expectations of His Majesty, this rock wave."
Exactly, the Doctor, who has a long life in this world, is used to it.
"Ah, uh..., thank you..."
On the other hand, when it comes to the first year of Grim Crows history, greetings for different worlds are irresistible.
"Ha ha! You can't force it." Nihon, "what's it like to say hello to a new year?
"Huh? Well... Happy New Year, or something like that..."
'Hmm, well. I'm not studying, Mandarin...... Congratulations Akemacite, Lugo. Nice to see you again this year. "
As usual, he was a king with a flexible response.
It is my country and the doctrines I profess that are absolute, otherwise I will not be downgraded or admitted - this world where few people have such ideas. This person, who can respect the thoughts and gestures of others, also draws a line with the rest of the exchangers in that respect.
King Ardia, for example, has two names: "Embouou," but this is the nickname originally called in Lefe.
As an indication of his intention to show friendship, the King changed this nickname to two of his own.
Of course, there seemed to be a lot of proximity to disputing just two honorable common names used in other countries, but there's this giant king. As a result of my passage, the refeit is supposed to see me as a majestic ruler. Again this year, I guess this big master will push his way as he thinks our way.
'So long, it's Lugo. It was none other that I was contacted early in the dawn of the new year. About Ayaka. "
Even though he knew there was no point, the drift shield stared unexpectedly at the ripples in communication.
"Grandpa Kayer of the Lefe... you know the governor is still lying down."
"Yeah, yes"
Kayer, the governor of the nation, who should also be called king of the Lefe.
Such a super important figure fell last summer - shortly after the heavenly banquet, in which Lifeguard also appeared.
The prospect of returning to the country does not look like it is because of the old age, and we must decide on a candidate to become the next president of the country. of, but there are also the effects of the half-baked 'Millennium Parliament', which was a decision-making body, and there has been no progress there either.
Although he is not familiar with this chief of state as an exile guardian, he has been told by Sakuragiri.
He usually seems like an old man with a weak push and a slight impression of not relying on him as the lord of a country, but is he also someone who can sometimes launch into bold action, drinking the face of the impudent 'Millennium Parliament' or deciding arbitrarily to put Duen Akelon into the 'Garden of the Infinite'?
Talk about Digos said he liked Sakuragiri like his granddaughter.
"See you later. Finally, it was decided that Lefe's health care would help. There is also the matter of the awakening Duen Akelone. So he went from far east to calling a good doctor."
"Yeah, I don't know. Ah! Could it be..."
I thought the doctor might help Ayaka wake up.
As for the current situation and the colorful flowers, it's like no hitter. As for straw protection, it can be said that it is just the state where we want to be protected from straw.
"If I can call you, I'd like to do something for you...!
"Hmm. So what if the doctor asked us to stop by after the refeit? Let's try to arrange it. '
"Well, it would help if you did that......!
At times like this, the instant summary execution of this king was truly reliable.
"Doctor of the East, is it? If it's further east than the refeit, is it someone from around Sikharta?"
Interestingly, if Dr. Rock squeals,
He said it was more east. I hear you're from the Warger Tab. "
"Heh, when was the warger tab? That's amazing. Exactly... I've heard the name of the country for a while."
'Um, me too. I have no idea what kind of country it is.'
haha, and the king laughs luxuriously.
Refugee himself, it was a country name I had never heard of. I don't even remember being on the map used in Raindeer. If so, it would be as if it were a distant exotic with no interchange.
"It's just that this doctor seems to be a known person among some of the refeits. They've taken care of him in the past."
Well, hammer as the Doctor cared.
"Really? The refe takes care of the injured by putting them together at the Heavenly Boom Banquet, and I thought they were of a good standard about medical technology... when that country is going to rely on them that much, they must be awesome doctors. Shalom, you might be interested."
'Uhm. I invite you because you want me to study as well as us. So, I only heard the doctor's name beforehand too... uh, what the hell...'
Somewhat, yes, I remember, sounds like the king slapped him on the knee.
"Commonly known as," Pharmacist "Crease". His name is Solata Hozmi. "
