Do You Think You Can Run After Reincarnating, Nii-san?

Episode 59: Catastrophe Point IV - Part 1

- Spider.

Big spider suspended in one thread dripping from heaven.

The black shadow that appeared in the middle of the blue sky - to confirm its identity, there was a remembered story behind my brain.

It's the story of four brave men and one evil god.

Heritage, myth, or history, long passed down to the three kingdoms of Laes, Lowe, and Cenli.

It is the story of a battle that betrayed the world, that the ancestors of each country experienced.

At the time, the world had broken up into nations large and small and had repeated strife.

Corpses had made mountains, blood had made rivers, and yet people had repeatedly fought to inflate their desires and their hatred.

I was happy with that, there was one spider.

The spider stretched out an invisible nest in man's world, and caught the desire and hatred scattered by man was devoured - gradually the body swelled, and finally it was even bigger than ten mountains on top.

But I can't crush the spider's appetite.

More desire.

More hatred.

The spider who thought so hung himself with one thread and slowly descended into the world of men.

The people who saw it overhead were terrified.

He said he was blinded to the evil God because we were constantly at war.

Genesis and asylum by the Spirit King had come to an end, and the world was in the hands of men and spirits.

God's Spirit King can no longer help me.

Four brave men appeared before those who mourned so much.

The brave men, one by one, had artifacts brought about by the other.

One has a sword that dyes heaven into gold.

One shield turns the ground into steel.

One can swing a wand freely through the day.

One has a bow that keeps the night on the bowstring.

The evil gods were sealed by the power of four brave men and four kinds of artifacts.

But that greedy big spider is still hungry.

When people are ruled again by desire and hatred, the seal will be broken -

A tale of brave men and evil gods that even children know.

The four brave men who appear in this story say to each of them that they were pleased with the country and led the people.

That three of those countries are now the Kingdom of Laes, the Kingdom of Lowe and the Republic of Cenli.

When a crisis looms in the world, the 'salvation agreement' of electing 'brave men' from among the three countries to work together beyond their interests is what brings the end to this story.

I'm not sure if this story is true or if it's just a legend to foil the kingdom, but now, one thing, it's certain.

Big spider coming down suspended in one thread.

An evil god eating hate and desire.

It was - it was real.

In a world where there is no such thing as a brave man, he was resurrected.

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

Saying goodbye to Azerea and Jack, and returning in great haste, I turned first to Rainardia, the capital of the Kingdom of Laes.

I wanted to make sure Elvis and the others were safe.

But I only saw the city from afar, and realized that I had lost it late.

- At the top of the royal castle, the flag of the Republic of Cenli flies.

".......................................?

I wanted to think it was a mistake.

But if I tried to sneak inside Rainerdia, I was reminded even though I didn't want to see it wrong.

Cenri's soldiers are walking in the city with our faces...

The inhabitants of Rainerdia looked frightened somewhere.

When I asked the inhabitants about the situation in the guise of pilgrims, I was even more stunned...

"... Pilgrim, I won't say anything wrong. Get the hell out of this city."

"What do you mean...?

"The Kingdom of Laes is dead. The other day, the king was executed."

"... Huh?

King Elias IV of the Kingdom of Laes should have been assassinated during Jack's public execution......

If so, the execution is the next new king to reign...?

"Um... the King who was executed...?

I asked, swallowing my fright.

When I get an answer back that I don't want to hear, I'm half sure.

- Your Majesty Elvis.

In a caged voice of hatred, the inhabitants answered clearly.

"You were still young, but to rule the war, yourselves...... damn it!!

Elvis was executed?

The words were not accompanied by a sense of reality.

What happened...?

What happened while I was chasing Jack or Azerea!?

I tried asking others, but the answers were all the same.

King Elvis, who was not in power, was sacrificed in order to rule the war early.

And the kingdom of Laes passed away, swallowed up by the Republic of Cenli......

... During Jack's public execution, the kings of the kingdoms of Laes and Lowe were assassinated.

Multiplied by that gap, the Republic of Cenli waged a war of aggression...?

It was full because we were going after Jack, and I wasn't paying attention to what happened to the international relations between the three countries.

Just a little over a month away and I can't believe this is happening......!!

- That's right.

The kingdom of Laes is not the only one without a king.

So is the Kingdom of Lowe.

Besides, if it's true that Elvis was executed...

"... hermina..."

Remembering the name of the First Princess of the Kingdom of Lowe, I turned my foot to Bradia, the capital of the Kingdom of Lowe.

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

I was relieved from the bottom of my heart when I confirmed the flag that flies to Royal Castle Lowe.

That's because it remained from the Kingdom of Lowe.

When I approached the castle, it was obviously during the war and other atmospheres.

The air tingles and I hear soldiers who seem to panic from all over.

But not if you're out of your mind.

Though I was named guard in front of the gate, I couldn't get him through to the castle.

"We're in a war now. You can't let the rest of us through! Even though there was just a sabotage at the Artifact Palace......!!

Still sticky, it seemed like someone who knew my name had reached me and I could get him to go through the gate.

Helmina, apparently, was safe.

Now he seems to have inherited the throne and become queen.

... My engagement to Elvis must have gone blank too.

After waiting for a while in the reception room, the door opens and Hermina shows up with her squire.

Seeing the appearance, I breathed.

She was dressed in mourning.

Samizina was also a mourned pitch-black dress, but her it was clearly for mourning, with a translucent veil on her face.

"... you're safe, Mr. Rachel"

When he lowers his squire, Hermina sees my face over the vale and sits in a chair.

"Mr. Jack, are you safe... could you get it back?

"... no. I decided that I didn't need to get it back. Azelea would make her happy, 'cause I thought so."

"Really?... you're a good person to give up."

Beyond the vale, Hermina makes a faint grin.

I could easily tell just by looking at that look that I was losing emotion to laugh from inside my chest......

"So... you didn't know what was going on here and you came out to me"

"... Yep. I went to the Kingdom of Laes first..."

……………………

Hermina lays her eyes down for only a moment and silences herself.

For me, though that silence was enough - still, I dare say, Helmina spoke.

Mostly, as I imagined beforehand.

Shortly after that public execution in which Elias IV of the Kingdom of Laes and Hildebrandt IV of the Kingdom of Lowe were assassinated, the Republic of Cenli declared war against the Kingdom of Laes.

The invasion took place precisely in an electroluminescent fire.

The kingdom of Laes responded with the throne inheritance intact, but could not have run out of resistance without proper preparation.

Even trying to get Elvis to reign in the King and salvage him...... time is already late.

The trend had no longer been decided.

Elvis gives up the victory and prioritizes preventing any more war from spreading.

And...

"Master Elvis says he was put on the headstand and his neck was exposed in front of the crowd"

".................. Huh!!

I hold my mouth to the fact that I was told in a cold voice.

Why......

Why did I leave here?

How could you come from by the Elvis guys when it's so important......!!

- But they taught me.

- You taught me...? To whom?

- I'm Ruby.

".................. ah"

I am.

I notice it unexpectedly.

".............................................................................................................................................!!

It was Ruby who made Azerea in time for Jack's public execution.

I mean, girl x.

With her intervention, Azelea was able to take Jack away!

And I went after it and left to Elvis and the others......!!

For this!!

It was for this!!!

To pull me away from the three kingdoms of strength, she let Azerea grab Jack......!!!

"After all, Mr. Ruby was involved in Mr. Azerea's case."

Looking down at me holding my head, Hermina says, nay, in a flat voice.

"We have a sighting of Mr. Ruby from a spy we released into Cenri.... The assassination of my father, the late King Hildebrandt IV, and my father-in-law, Elias IV, was the work of Mr. Eighty-Nine Ruby. You may not know Mr. Rachel, but she took Mr. Gawayne's life just before the battle between the Allied Troika and the Demon King's Army."

"Gawayne's......!?

Oh no......

Then the only face of the former S-class, except for Ruby, is Jack and Azelea...

"The movement of the Republic of Cenli was too fast. It was as if we had known that the kings of Raes and Lowe would be killed.

... from the beginning, it was a guru. That public execution was an invasion arrow, consigned by Evelina Anzanello and Ruby Bergson, the "Cenli Witch"!!

Dunn!! and Helmina's fist slapped the table.

The cup falls and the untouched tea spreads......

"... Mr. Rakel"

From beyond the black vale, my dark, cloudy eyes looked at me.

"I am now in the position of Queen of the Kingdom of Lowe. … but I dare to use that position for personal matters…… The people also supported it"

"Helmina-"

"Mr. Rachel."

Call my name again to block it, and Hermina gently strokes her own stomach.

"... Actually, this month's period hasn't arrived yet"

"What...? No way......!

"I have never overlapped my skin with anyone other than Master Elvis"

Strongly asserting hermione smiled softly and beautifully.

But the smile... seemed to me on the verge of crying out.

"Blurring, I am unable to move. You have to put a piece on it as soon as possible.

... I will take the witch and clear Lord Elvis' carelessness. But I don't want the next generation to inherit it it. I'm sure Elvis would think so... "

Don't stop.

She was out of the question.

So I confirm only one thing.

"Helmina - you know the (...) and (...) on the head (...)?

dull, Helmina leaked an empty laugh.

"Well, what the hell.... I'm not so bad at bugs."

Oh - she's already a scatter.

Talking about the next generation, he says he'll ignore the big spider that's approaching overhead.

You must know what the world will be like when something like that comes down.

But I'm sure she's not the only one.

Everything is already scattered.

Only one girl - everything in the world - was torn apart by a scatter.

"Can you be back (...), Mr. Rachel?

Like somewhere else, Hermina said.

"That might be good, too. … I will whisper and pray that the next (...) of (...) will be happy."

- I can't do something that never happened.
