Do You Think Someone Like You Can Defeat the Demon King?

037 Where the miracle of life strikes

Seeing a flashing flam, Nect held his mouth and vibrated and laughed at his shoulders as he "fumbled".

"I said in response to your sister's request, and that reaction, that's why I wanted to talk to you a little more."

"That's fine, let me know why. Isn't Necromancy one of the same church people!?

"Companion... Companion... Ha, I do wonder if that's how it looks from the outside. You know the other one, right?

"Kimyra, is that it?"

"Yes, yes. Childrens, Necromancy, and Kimyra. I wonder why the Church went out of its way to set up a research team for all three of them."

"It's..."

Preliminary for when it fails, it may also mean.

Or with cooperation - no, Nect said he wanted Necromancy “crushed”.

I mean, I'm not one of them.

"To make you compete?

As Flam said, Nect shook his head vertically as he put his arms together.

incisive, aiming for higher heights, and perhaps only one of the three will eventually be adopted.

Hire... What the hell am I going to hire you for?

Thirty years ago the People Demonic War, and the dispatch of the brave.

They've always wanted a demonic territory.

The power for it - a little, as a weapon, perhaps to operate the Origin Core, Flam thought so.

"This is a very personal emotion, but Mother, and the Kimyra people are thinking the same thing."

"What?

"Necromancy is blind," he said.

Nect tilts his neck and looks toward Flam.

There is no expression on its face, and little discouragement of its voice.

Not so much, I guess they hate Necromancy.

"In short, it's a different direction. Neither we nor Kimyra are close, but the purpose is the same in the sense that we seek strength. But Necromancy is different, their purpose is to bring the dead back to life.“ I want to make people happy, "he said, continuing his research with such beauty that he would throw up! It's just like making fun of Origin like that!

Word gives me a fever.

If he's right and says it's really just a study to resurrect the dead, there's no reason for Flam to stop it.

"So far, Dafiz's research is going well."

"Dafiz?"

"He's the leader of Necromancy, and he seems like a good person with glasses, my, the most crisp type of person! He has succeeded in bringing the dead back to life, reinforcing Origin's influence, moving them in the same way as before, and even making children."

"If so..."

"If it is (...) okay (...), do you really think so?

Nect grinned at his mouth, staring at the flam with wide open eyes.

She knows, and he realizes it too.

That's why Flam bites his lips with a look like he chewed up a bitter bug.

"So far (...). You know why I went out of my way to say that, sister, right?

"… I don't think the origin-core can be controlled to that extent"

"Yes, that's right, there's no way you can cross Origin's will to the extent of a person's brains! The resurrected dead in the first place are in the same condition as when they're really alive, and even that's suspicious. Because the Necromancy is being evaluated by the Cardinals. When the resurrection of the dead is possible, faith and money will be gathered. You know what I mean? We think Kimyra and I are blind."

That's how Nect abandoned himself, as he exhaled his hatred.

I mean, Flam and his purpose are consistent.

Reveal the fiction of Necromancy and ruin research.

As a result, Gadio and Eterna will be back, and Childrens will be in a better position within the church.

Nobody loses it, it's an ideal deal.

"But then why don't we just do it ourselves?

"It's easy if you want to break it. But we belong to the same church, so we can't do that. So we have to use another method."

That's why I'm here.

Flam blurted out.

It seems to be used well and doesn't feel good.

"Exactly. Your sister is special. Just watching makes my chest core squeal, lose its sanity, and my personality is about to be taken that way!

With his fist around his chest, Nect said with an excited look.

Its face distorts (...).

It's not a metaphor or anything, in the sense it is, it's shaped like a ghoulish marble pattern.

A vortex of meat and a man's face, as it sways in its narrow space.

"Ha... I mean, yeah."

When I took a deep breath, my face returned to normal.

Hit and change from earlier and continue the words in a sober tone.

"Those who have lived in the core will be unable to remain calm simply by being in front of their sister. Its presence shakes its emotions like love."

"I feel sick about the analogy,"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I said something weird unexpectedly expensive. But it's true, and it's the weapon that destroys the fiction of Necromancy."

Nect is not telling Flam to attack the lab.

It's just...

"You just have to go there, you just have to be there, that's enough to do the job"

"Assuming you take it, what's in it for me?

"I'll tell you where the lab is"

That was too attractive a consideration.

I wasn't going to look into it alone.

But I just asked Reach, and from what we talked about the other day, he doesn't have much information about the research itself.

The knowledge of the Pope and the Cardinals was more than the Flams, but even if I asked him, would I know where the Eternas were?

So we're just going to have to use our legs to do it in the tunnels - but if we do that, we're going to have to figure out when we're going to find the lab.

Besides, there are only people who can fight the Church, and only Fram.

If a mill kit or ink is ever targeted in the meantime, it is difficult to protect it.

"I don't think it's a bad idea for each other."

Invincibly laughing nect.

It works the way he thinks, but it's not a good idea to let Dafiz like it.

I just have to choose between the worst or the worst.

"... tell me where the lab is"

"Yeah, I'm gonna lose it."

Laughing as if he were an age-appropriate boy, Nekt honestly taught Flam where the institute was.

But when she says she's got some powerful information, it doesn't clear her mind.

Bitterness spreading across your chest.

Just say what you say. Nect disappeared.

The flam left on the spot turns back the way it came when one sighs loudly in a quiet alley.

◇ ◇ ◇

Flam came back much faster than I thought.

Welcoming him on the doorstep, Milkit looked at the grumpy Lord, saying "Welcome back" but wondering.

"Is something wrong?

"I found out where Mr. Eterna and Mr. Gadio are"

Sayin 'hello, Flam.

"What, so soon?!? Awesome, sir."

And a shaggy mill kit while jumping lightly.

"Not at all amazing..."

I'm usually happy, but I just can't be honest with you right now.

Flam dropped his shoulder disappointingly.

Why is this also depressing when you say you've found out where you two are.

The mystery just deepens, and when I saw her head into the living room with a bump, Milkit said, "Hmm?," he leaned his neck as he spoke.

Welcome back, Flam.

"I just had an unexpected encounter."

Flam also replies with low tension to the ink.

Sitting carelessly in her chair, she slammed to the table.

"Haha, how I met someone I didn't like?

"Yeah, I met Nekt"

"Huh......!?

"Nect was one of the spiral kids, wasn't he? Why suddenly!?

The ink, as well as the mill kit that came into the room, is stunning.

"I don't know, but the research teams in the church don't seem to get along with each other. Haven't you heard of the ink around here?

"I didn't get mixed up in that story."

The ink points to the lips.

That's why I imitated escape so unscrupulous.

"Oh well, when ink doesn't know, I don't know the details. Anyway, he told me if he wanted to crush Necromancy, I could tell him where the lab was."

"So, did your husband take it?

Milkit sat next to the flam and inquired.

"I was worried, but I thought I had to take it. I certainly don't like the way the church thinks, but I'm worried about Mr. Eterna and Mr. Gadio."

"But isn't there a possibility of a trap..."

"I don't think so, because there's something about Nect that makes me emotionally prone. I heard you invited a hero into the lab, and I think you're upside down."

I've lived with Nekt for a long time, and Ink's words are convincing.

"Either way, Flam's going to go."

"More than I took, yeah. So, what are you gonna do with the mill kit and the ink while I'm gone?"

That's when Milkit grabbed the hem of Flam's clothes.

Then she ties her mouth together and looks to the Lord with a sad look.

I don't have to tell you, I know, and Fram stroked the head gently.

"I'm going to take Milkit, but what about the ink? I think Mr. Eterna can make sure he's safe if you ask Mr. Leach."

You don't have to jeopardize the ink.

I would have liked you to be in a safe place in the King's Capital if possible, but - her relationship with Eterna is not so shallow.

"If I say I want to go too, will you take me? I know it might be my legs, but it would be easier for me to take Eterna home... but I don't think so."

There was a sense that it was a clump of hands.

So she insists in a modest, twisted, small voice.

"Nect says it's not such a dangerous place. You think a village called Sheol itself is a church research facility, and it just looks rural from the side? Besides, unlike Childrens and Kimyra, I'm not looking for a powerful force, so I don't have to worry about getting attacked all of a sudden."

"So... can I go?

"However, because safety cannot be guaranteed. I don't want to hurt the ink I helped."

"I know. If I have to, I'll try to get away with it."

Actually, it wouldn't be that simple.

You can join Eterna first and keep the ink along with the persuasion to take her back?

After that, meet Gadio, talk to him... and then what should I do?

Necromancy collapses just to be there, Nect said, but I don't know exactly what will happen unless I try.

Are you going to storm off and attack me like an orga someday?

Or will something more obscure happen?

With swelling anxiety, the flams get ready and head to the carriage yard.

◇ ◇ ◇

Countless rural areas are dotted around the Wang capital to support its vast population.

The population per place is large, but about a thousand people, but if you bind them, they will outnumber the king's capital by far.

The main arterial streets of the kingdom, laid in the middle of idyllic countryside.

The three of them, Flam, Milkit and Ink, continue their journey to Cheol, rocked by carriage carriages.

Around here, it's still often different from other carriages.

"Actually, I've never really been out of the capital."

said Milkit sitting on the left side of the flam.

Incidentally, the ink sits on the right.

"So this kind of view can be fresh?

"Yes, I imagined your husband's hometown would be this kind of scenery," he said.

It is certainly a lonely and rural landscape compared to the Wang capital.

But Fram shook his neck sideways with a bitter laugh.

"We're a more despicable place, so I'd probably be surprised if I saw it"

"Much more than here, is it?

"Yeah, I'm surrounded by more depressed woods, and even if there was a meadow, people didn't get it, so the growing grass is tall and the trunks are thick. It's not as beautiful as it sounds around Wangdu."

"That's it, I'm interested"

"I don't think it's funny that I saw it... well, even if I go, one of these days"

The wheels roll and the wind soars through the greenery on one side.

The sound and the scenery are so relaxing, peaceful, the atmosphere drank me and I accidentally had a relaxing conversation.

He said that the church's research facility was on the way.

The distance from Wang Du to Sheol is quite close.

Arriving nearby in about three hours, the three got off the carriage in the shade of a nearer tree.

Whatever it takes, you can't ride directly into the village.

About twenty minutes walking from there, I could see the village.

In the centre, a somewhat splendid church is built for the countryside.

I just get the impression that if I didn't know anything, it would be a place with a lot of enthusiastic followers.

But I'm sure Flam knows who this place is.

I guess that church is the hub of the research facility, I guess.

First, observe the circumference of the sheol on a far-winded roll.

The village was surrounded by fences and there were two church knights at the north and south entrances.

On the fence, several threads, obviously suspicious, hang.

I guess there's magic on it to detect intruders.

If I jump over it, I won't be able to force myself in, but I'm going to leave the mill kit and ink behind.

There are also food loaded carriages in and out, especially as the knights are stopping it.

It is possible that he is a person of the Church, but he is ostensibly disguised as a normal village, and he must behave in a suspicious manner.

Because... if you're a normal person, maybe you're okay with going out, coming in directly from the front.

Well, to expect that - on a lightly dressed girl with a sign of slavery on her cheek and some epic equipped tattoos engraved on her arm, with a bandage-wrapped face, a service clothes girl, and even a blind girl with stitched eyes - the three have too many problems with the visual side, though.

Often when Fram was conceived in the bushes, Milkit raised his voice "Ah".

"What's wrong, Milkit?"

"Mr. Gadio..."

Ahead of her gaze was Gadio with a gentle expression and the figure of a young woman arming herself with him.

Flam quickly understood that that was Tia.

At least if he rewarded us for our presence - that's when the ink wandered lightly.

The calves and the trees that were beside them sway.

Gadio's gaze then turned toward the frames.

He stops on the spot, tells Tia something, and walks over here alone.

"Someone's footsteps are approaching...... that, could it be my fault?

"I mean, it's because of me, I guess"

The three moved from being knights, the gatekeepers, to places completely invisible.

When Gadio finds out what they look like, he approaches them with concern for the sight of the knight as well.

"No way, you've been chasing us?

"Naturally, Mr. Gadio, no matter how much you go to a church facility, I'm angry with you."

"... sorry"

When they apologize so honestly, on the contrary, they become more sorry for themselves, Flam.

I just wasn't willing to blame him any more than that, just because the motive was clear.

"But how did you find that Sheol had an establishment, it hasn't been half a day since we left King's Capital?

"It's... well, there's a lot going on. Still, Mr. Gadio, he seemed somewhat relaxed, but is it really okay with you that the study called Resurrecting the Dead?

"So far, yeah. Tia, my wife I spoke to the other day, was the one I was walking with until just now. Except that her heart has become an origin-core, she hasn't changed anything from her lifetime. Besides - that man who heads this facility, Dafiz, is not a bad guy. At least that's what I felt."

Regarding there, Nect said the same thing.

Perhaps a man named Dafiz is a really good man.

"Do you want to see him?

"to that person,"

"Yeah, well, maybe if we go through with it, we'll say we want to talk to Flam, too."

Either way, if all that village is a research facility, it's hard to sneak in.

Plus, Fram himself was having trouble deciding Nekt's words and the research that resurrected the dead - how to take them.

It may not be too late to actually talk to Dafiz and then come to a conclusion.

"Master, what are you going to do?

Millkit stares worryingly at the silent flam.

Ink was also staring at her instead of saying that the choice would be left to Flam.

"Okay, can I see you?"

"Then follow me."

That's what Gadio says and leads the three of them to Sheol.

Following his wide back, passing the gate, going through the center of town, towards is the church of examples.

Until he got there, Flam felt like his gaze was flying from all directions and he was somewhat uncomfortable.

◇ ◇ ◇

Gadio knocked on the door of a certain room behind the church.

What emerged from inside was a man with a small child, who looked weak.

Looks like he's... Dafiz Sharmus.

He was quite surprised when he first saw Flam and Ink.

Because even though I didn't mean to invite you, the girl I was hearing about in the report who treated you like a dangerous molecule and the spiral kid who was supposed to be dead suddenly showed up.

But as soon as he regains his calm, he leads the three of them to the reception room.

Gadio went back to Tia.

I had a little anxiety, but it would help if I wasn't there now.

Whatever, because Fram has come to destroy this Necromancy study, including his wife, Tia.

Sit on the couch between the receptacles in the order of ink, flam and mill kit from the right.

Dafiz sat on the couch in the front, putting the toddler on his knees.

Called Luco, she stared at the flam with those crushed eyes, without any particular rumbling or noise.

"Sure, Mr. Fram Apricot...... wasn't it? I'm surprised, I didn't know you could come all of a sudden. Where have you been getting information about Sheol?

"It's..."

"Well, I guess I can guess. The fact that Mr. Ink is there is from Childrens associates, right? They've hated me a lot, and they've been obstructing me a lot."

"Was it? Then how did you know to talk to us like this?

"There was so much stray, because I didn't feel hostile. Mr. Flam, you are a kind man. And so are the two names next door admiring you. So I thought that if we discussed it, you would understand Necromancy's philosophy."

Dafiz smiles.

Indeed Gadio is right, he has very beautiful eyes, and he doesn't seem to be lying.

I guess he's a good man.

But that's not why we can accept research using the origin-core.

"Revive people. If you can really make it happen, I also don't think you've ever been over it. But... is it really possible?

"What did Mr. Fram think when he saw this village?

"Well, what?"

"It's a peaceful village, it's a quiet village, it's all sorts of things. First impression, say what you think."

Reminds me of the sight until I entered the church.

The gaze bothered me, but that's something I can't help from the looks of it.

More than that, I felt like I saw more walking for more than one person.

Parents, wives, husbands, children, lovers, friends - I wonder if everyone enjoyed laughing and spending time with them.

"Looking happy village, is it"

Flam speaks as he feels.

Then Dafiz nodded satisfied.

"Yeah, you bet. But half of them are dead."

"Become... half!?

At the same time as Flam, who raised his voice and was surprised, Milkit and Ink also react to Dafiz's words.

This means that, given the size of this village, more than two hundred dead people have already risen.

"That's how many people got their lives back, survived the grief of death, and grabbed their happiness. It may not be perfect yet. But you can also have conversations, just like a normal human being, have emotions, eat, act of excretion, sleep, dare I say, even intercourse. I'm going to have a baby, actually, because Luco is the child my wife gave birth to when she was resurrected. I mean, we're just a few minutes away from completing it. The time is coming when humans don't have to fear death!

If it were just to come back to life, Flam would have denied it with or without.

But the story changes when a new life is born from a resurrected woman.

As she watched Luco, Dafiz opened her mouth to supplement.

"Indeed, right now, Suzy's heart, his wife, is replacing him with an origin-core. But not in Luco's body. Although there are some differences, they have organs similar to those of almost normal humans."

It is possible that the child that has been born is another creature that is not a human being - and his words smash it right into Flam's head.

It is impossible to look for a hole in reason against Dafiz, who has been researching for more than a decade.

He's not a confident man, but in Necromancy's research, he's proud of perfection.

"Mr. Flam, you've had a collision with the power of the Original Core, haven't you? Therefore, I cannot believe my words. [M] I know that very well, surely that is a mighty force, maybe not something that humans should deal with"

Experiments fail.

With him, I have repeatedly failed, and because of that, my life was in danger.

Still, I didn't screw it up because I had an unmistakable love for Susie.

"But that is why we have been able to reach the realm of“ life ”, which cannot be reached solely by the wisdom of men. I didn't give up because it's impossible, I stood up to you, I beat you! I want you to believe what we've built up."

The very act of replacing the human heart with an origin-core also involved childrens.

Over there, it was aimed at living humans, but then ten years later - the ink was able to grow properly, as human beings.

If you try to get the heart back to human, there are no symptoms like sequelae so far either.

In short, the difference is whether the flesh is alive or dead.

Embedding an origin-core in the dead could be in exactly the same condition as it was in its lifetime... there is, maybe.

Not zero, but not absolutely.

"Gentlemen, why don't you stay here today? I want you to judge me on that. Whether our research is right or wrong."

It is not a sane shack, such as sleeping at the enemy's home.

But on the other hand, it is also insane to let the enemy sleep in his own pocket.

The gaze bumped into each other as they tried to be prepared for each other - Flam agreed first and accepted the offer.

If your presence disrupts the dead who live in the Original Core, then stay here and you will have your own consequences.

Luco's eyes kept staring at her face like that without being slightly moving.
