Homncrus is NOT ROM - What Homncrus Has Returned Less Being In Another World - (WEB Version)

Some time after he lost sight of the enemy's ship, Balzac banged Meliá on the back.

"That was a big deal!

Thanks to you, we made it through without causing any damage! Thank you! "

Balzac praises Meliá's results with a full grin.

Blade nodded deeply, too.

"I didn't know flash stones were that effective in ship warfare...

Even though it's literally rolling enough to sweep and throw away at a mine in Sauen.

This guy's gonna be worth a shot at introducing tactics. "

Meliá answers in a way that is sandwiched by Balzac and Blade.

"Next time the ship strikes, I'll intercept it.

I'm stuck. I'm stuck!

Balzac, Blade, and even Balzac's men praised Meliá for her work.

But I didn't feel that way.

"Mr. Cruz? What's the matter, sir?

Melia notices how I am and talks to me.

That's already sneering.

It was a remarkable battle, but I can't admit it.

"Better not get on with it.

It just so happens that the conditions meshed and made the fight work. "

And I said it without looking at Merliah's face.

Then, when Blade,

"What the hell, Cruz?

Do you regret being handled by a young lady?

You're narrow-minded. "

And I laugh swallowingly.

Off-target is also a good place.

I'm narrow in the first place, and I can't believe you know I'm a homunculus.

"Melia shouldn't fight.

I'm not ready to fight, I'm not capable.

We just have to be protected until we get to Ifestio. "

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

"What have you done? Homhom.

The way you put it, it sounds like you're handling Merliah's stuff. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

Keep your mouths shut, too.

"Meliá's throwing would indeed be an excellent category as a non-combatant, but only at that level.

If Blade or I throw it, the range will be even longer.

There's no reason for a man to be on the front line without an arrow. "

Merliah stares at me like that.

"True, I don't think I'm up to the fight myself, but I'd like to be of some use.

In fact, this is how you could have made the battle work.

I can't believe I'm just being protected, even though I'm the one who got you all involved. "

"It's dangerous because I overconfident myself that way.

I can do it myself, I assume I have to do it, and I take it a step forward.

I don't know that that step separates life and death. "

I can't help it. The thought circuit is disturbed.

Every time I say a word, I urge them to understand, and every time I hear a word, I feel uncomfortable that their understanding hasn't caught up.

Is this the feeling of frustration or annoyance in front of such anger?

And this feeling of mine seems to be conveying to Meliá, and her eyes are starting to moisten as she looks at me.

I couldn't find a way to open it, and I left the scene to escape Merliah's gaze.

Then the sun set without the enemy in sight, and the night came.

Balzac visited under me with a skewer stabbed with roasted fish and a glass of alcohol.

He ate them with me, talking about eating rice properly and accumulating liquor.

Seemed deliberately to avoid touching what happened earlier.

"Are you caring?

Balzac had a mustache when I cut him out. [M]

I wish I could see you mess up like that.

"I don't remember being disturbed"

"I was upset.

You'd never do anything to make Meliá cry, not you. "

Made Melia cry...?

"Hey, Balzac.

What do you mean you were crying?

Is that because I said it like that?

I do think my eyes were moist, but was I a sign before I cried?

Pack your distance from Balzac, make your tone stronger and inquire.

Balzac wandered a little,

"That's why they say it's upsetting.

I just messed around.

I'm not crying.

I was staring anxiously at your walking back. "

That's what I'm saying, grab my shoulder and distance myself.

I take my head off.

Something is definitely wrong.

What the hell drives a thought circuit so crazy?

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[No name even if reincarnated]

'You know that, don't you?

[◆ Wild boar]

"Put it all in your mouth.

If you can't sort it out in yourself, it's more sensible to rely on it around, right?

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

... Right.

"Sometimes when I think about Meliá, I do strange things."

I told both the fairies and Balzac to listen. [M]

"In the first place, it was crazy from the start.

Try to help a weak person who is not a force for war, try to fight a battle without winning, because he's going to Ifestio in the first place...

One thing is unreasonable.

Because earlier, it's unreasonable to deny Meliá and try to restrict her actions. "

Meliá is not fit for battle.

But it is also true that Merriam, who can make precise ranged attacks on this ship with little power, should make effective use of it.

"Hum, that's unreasonable.

On the contrary, do you think a reasonable answer would be the most correct one?

Balzac's question was too natural to know at first what he was talking about.

Naturally, Balzac continues before responding.

"He's a rule of thumb, but the rational answers you derive are nothing more than excuses and twists out of reasoning to distract him from his emotions.

You say that a lot.

"The answer is in my heart."

Balzac fingers his own chest with his thumb.

Put your hands on your chest so I can follow you.

There's no heart here, no organs like humans.

But there seems to be something.

"Even your answer didn't want to put Meliá in danger. It's an excuse to be the first to have the power.

Excuses don't move people's feelings.

Just make me doubt it.

Like Merliah just now. "

Balzac smacks my thin chest plate with his fist.

"Besides, if Cruz really only acted rationally, I wouldn't be dating anywhere like this, and Blade's husband would have killed me in the first place."

I remember Balzac being knocked over by Blade the first time I met him.

"You're not the only one who challenged a battle with no winnings.

I mean, I'm one of those people saved by your emotions.

So don't slap your undecorated emotions on him rather than claiming the legitimacy of your crappy excuse. "

Balzac's words penetrate as if to fill the error part of my thought circuit.

If what was behind my actions, which I self-assessed as unreasonable, was emotion, I'm also convinced that I tried to deny it.

We homunculus don't have feelings by nature.

Because emotion is fundamental to human mental fragility, we removed (omitted) emotion to overcome that weakness.

Emotions are unreasonable and dangerous.

Combat weapons must be reasonable and safe.

So my thought circuit denies my emotions.

But I...

"Because I've got feelings.

We have to accept it. "

"I've got it?

Hmm... I don't know anything about the past.

It's not bad.

Melia, Blade's husband and Kukuri are both like emotional catamari people, but they're fascinating.

Including me. "

Balzac laughs nicely.

The thought circuit that was caught and stuck with me also relaxes.

Somehow, I found out that it was the confusion I had just had that was unreasonable.

"Thank you. Balzac."

"You're not being smart.

Thank you, that's fine. It is "

I see. Then,

"Thank you, Balzac"

When I said that, Balzac responded badly with a toothpick and let his eyes swim.

Is the liquor spinning, my face is a little red?

With such a balzac on my side I walked out to Meliá.

Knocked on the cabin door and I walked into the room.

Merliah was sitting on her bed, but she looked at me and shrugged her shoulders.

I find out how my words and actions were received by Merliah.

I guess Balzac's excuse for what he said sounded like a disdain or accusation to Meliá.

"Merliah, I want you to talk to me."

When I said yes, Merliah said yes in small measure.

Sit back on the other bed and face Meliá.

It's the distance we can reach each other.

Now, how do I talk to you?

I can be in the wrong order. [M]

That could lead to even more hunting down Merriam.

"Are there any of you who treat women well -"

[◆ Ozigi Sou]

"I'm a woman, but I'm not very good with her."

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

In my head there is a meeting of fairies going on.

'You look like a good wild pig like this, but you don't seem to be here right now.

Well, I'll do it. "

[No name even if reincarnated]

"> > Mazhun

You are more arrogant than Homhom.

It's just temper and momentum. "

[◆ Matsumoto]

"You can use it separately with TPO properly!!

Homhom, first of all, excuse me that I'm not angry or that I made a fool of Merliah. '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

... I open my horrible mouth.

"Melia, I'm not mad.

I didn't even fool around.

If that's what you think, it's because I was wrong. "

"Oh, no...

I'm definitely on track, and I think Mr. Cruz is right about everything. "

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Matsumoto]

'That's good, that's good. That's how it goes!

Next I don't know why I said that! Hi! '

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

"I don't want Meliá to fight."

"Hi......"

"But that's because I don't like Melia getting hurt.

It's harder for Meliá to bleed than for me to bleed. "

Talk slower than usual.

so as to ascertain Merriam's reaction.

Then Melia tried to hug herself with her arms and got sick.

"I don't... it's hard for Mr. Cruz to get hurt, too.

Even during the other battle, I was cut off with a sword in many places... "

When you fought the short knife on the side of the bat?

True, though they had done it unilaterally.

"That was shallow.

It's not a worrying wound. "

"Wouldn't Mr. Cruz be worried if I was cut off as much as an array?

I'm determined to worry.

Of course. Merliah's just a human being. I'm Homunculus.

It's better to compare...

"How strong Mr. Cruz was and it would hurt if he was cut off.

If you're bad, you could die.

I was really scared. "

Is that what you mean?

I think of Meliá and myself as different creatures.

Melia sees herself and me as the same creature.

And have you imagined replacing my pain with your own?

"I am, indeed, so brittle that I cannot compare myself to Mr. Cruz.

Maybe if it was in my eyes like that, I'd cry.

Even though I want to cry just because Mr. Kukri can tighten me up.

So I want to move so that Mr. Cruz and the others don't get hurt.

But... indeed, Mr. Cruz is right, when I go out on the battlefield, I get more distractions, don't I?

It was shallow, sorry. "

Melia bows her head.

I must have made a mistake, but I can't believe Merliah is going to apologize...

▽*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:▽

[◆ Matsumoto]

'Don't give up! You're the one who came here to apologize!

Uh, Merliah's not wrong anyway!

Do something in that direction!

After all, you're not the only one with the momentum!!

"The guy among you who's used to treating women ~ ~!

△*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:*+*+:△

The fairies can't be Ate.

No, I'm trying to convey my emotions in the first place, but am I wrong to ask the fairies to do the small work?

My emotions are mine.

And a new emotion was born listening to Meliá.

"Merliah, I'm glad."

"Huh?"

"Meliá wanted to protect us, so she must have gone into action.

That means you care about us. "

Meliá, with her head on,

"Shh, I'm a little embarrassed... but they're important to me.

and especially Mr. Cruz...... "

Meliá's voice becomes so small that it seems to disappear into the sound of the sea outside the ship.

"I think Meliá is important, too.

Until now, I have no one or anything I care about, so I have no certainty, but Melia is important.

If Me and Meliá feel the same way, I'm glad. "

From the moment I gained the purpose of "living," to this day, I lived, guided by fairies and caught up in Meliá's journey.

Meliá said I was important to her, Cruz, who was cultivated in it.

I want Meliá to protect her life, her body, her emotions, her feelings, her desire not to die, her desire not to be hurt, her desire not to have fun, her desire not to be with me.

If Melia thinks of me the same way, I think that's a sign that I'm alive.

Meliá proves that my actions, my results, I'm sure this sentiment wasn't wrong.

I'm glad to hear that.

"I got results unexpectedly"

"Huh?"

"Never mind.

More than that, shall we consider positively Merliah's participation in the fight "

"Huh? Huh? Um..."

"In fact, Meliá's throwing technique is a sure force on this ship with no means of ranged attack.

I want to put together the most effective tactics by positioning the ship on deck to prepare for enemy interception. "

I retrieve the paper and try to create a diagram.

"Um... okay?

I was against going into battle... "

"It doesn't change what you're opposed to.

But I also want to take care of Meliá's thoughts.

I might find a better answer than to make up my own mind. "

Listening to my words, Melia smiled relieved.

At noon the following day, we were captured again by the ships of the Demon King's Army.

The ship is approaching with a lot of gear on both sides.

"Temeye et al! We're gonna go around to the side of that ship!

Meliá, don't flank him!

When Balzac barks, the ship moves like a dog who obeys orders.

Merliah stares at the enemy's ship with a flashing stone cage beside her.

Kukuri and I are the ones who consolidate that side of Meliá.

Kukuri seems confident in his arrowheads, and Blade's tattooed.

He knocks down the featherworm with a short knife in both hands, but he knocks down the flying arrow.

And I will use witchcraft to offset magic attacks, etc. that cannot be struck down by Kukuri.

Improvised, but this is the combat placement to take advantage of Meliá's throwing technique.

"Fifty meters more...

Give me that much and I'll guess. "

Unwrap the paper from the flash stone in your hand and place it on your palm.

And that's where Blade came in.

"If you mean your lady's range + 50 meters, you'd be able to afford it if I were you"

Blade takes the flash stone out of Merliah's hand.

"Blade's Aniki No..."

"Sorry, get the job done.

But I'd like to give it a try.

I'll give it to you next. "

Blade said so, turning his arms with flashing stones to the back of his body,

"Vagina aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

I threw it out to throw my back.

... It looks like Merliah's throw is not as dressed as she is.

And it would have been nice if the only thing I didn't look good, but the results were even worse.

Dockerroon! and the flashing stone exploded with a direct blow to the ship's railings.

On the railing of our ship...

A railing within a three-metre radius of the directly struck area was destroyed and became an algae chip in the sea.

"Ah... you got a little too much ammo down there.

Then how about this!!

Blade regains his mind and throws again.

Now I threw it high as if I were going to throw it toward heaven.

Approximately directly above the ship's direction of travel.

"Ghahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Temee et al!! Speed up!!

"We won't make it!

Balzac and his men are blue.

"That... the stone doesn't fly the way I imagined it.

That's crazy. "

Blade is tilting his neck.

More than that, it's bad.

Keep it up, the stone will come down to this ship.

Even if I try to take it, it will definitely explode with a shock if it comes down from just the high end of it.

Undefensible, when I gave up,

"Cover your head!!

That's what Melia screamed and threw a flashing stone over her head.

The stones unleashed collided above the mast on falling stones, both co-exploded and smashed.

Parallax and flash stone shards swung from the sky to the deck.

"Lady, cover Thanksgiving.

Well, I mean, third degree honesty. "

Blade tries to retrieve the flash stone again, but

"Stop."

"Temee, you're a jerk!

"Lady Blade, please don't"

"Yes, sir! Give me a break!

Blade reluctantly deposited the stone with Merriam because everyone aboard the ship pleaded.

It should be noted that shortly thereafter, Merliah smashed the dragonbones of the enemy's ship in three throws, driving it unnavigable.

As a result, throwing attacks using flash stones are stipulated to make Meliá full-time, and the flash stone cage says, "Kill me if you take it!!" and was to be offered a bill with the powerful Sauern lettering of Meliá.
