In a Different World with a Smartphone

# 127 Thunderbears, and an unexpected reunion.

After I arrived in the mountains, I searched my smartphone for thunder bears, and there were such numbers. This number is too high for one mountain. This is sure to have a subspecies.

But all I can say is how lucky I was to have had so many, but not so much damage to the public. In fact, they've vandalized the fields, so there's damage there, but it's a shame people weren't attacked. Is this mountain rich in prey animals and nuts?

"Oh, no. Are you done?"

Lock on all the thunder bears in the mountains and think a little bit about trying to twitch the magic. What a waste of material you can strip off if you keep knocking it down. Surely the lightning bear fur should have sold for a good price. And does the liver also become an ingredient in medicine? The meat doesn't taste bad, but it doesn't seem to taste good. If you magically burn it black, the fur's worth is halved, but it's gone at all.

Wow, the best part is killing with blades, which is also caused by spike weapons that don't hurt fur the most. No, the best part would be poisoning, asphyxiation, or cardiac paralysis. Paralysis doesn't even mean cardiac paralysis.

"Check number of Thunder Bear individuals"

"Confirming… End. S for 23, including child bears'

Say bear. You can't leave all of them alone. Growing up can be amazing. It's just a little painful...

Shoot a bullet in the heart one at a time anyway, will you stop? You'll clean it up in an hour. First I opened the "gate" for one of the nearby ones.

"Hmm. That was a trick."

The subspecies shaved more than I thought, and I didn't see much of a gap. Good thing this one can only attack the heart, it was a hassle to avoid, letting go of the lightning strike. Still managed to knock them out and store them in "storage," like the other thunderbears I knocked them out.

Now there are no more thunder bears in this mountain. And then I need you to redeem this material in your guild. Oh, and I need to cancel the requisition this town sent out. I mean cancel, or I don't think even the request has reached the guild yet, so I don't think any idiot would mention that the request was embezzled or anything.

"Er, what is it? Oh, Senka. It's Senka town."

Search the map for a town with a guild that says you made a request. Did you just go west from here?

Activate the flying magic and fly away at once. I knew it would be convenient, this magic. You might be able to get as fast as you can with "accelerator boost," but this one is much easier. Well, the instantaneous acceleration is better with the "accelerator," and the "fly" doesn't get to the speed of thought. For a long time, you mean use it separately.

As I toured that thought, I could see the town from the clouds. Is that the town of Senka?

It stands out when I get down all over town, so I decided to get down in front of it and walk away. Check the position of the guild on the map and head straight there.

It was a small building incomparable to the guild of the King's Capital of Belfast, but inside it was decent with the outings. A familiar requisition board is arranged and various requisitions are affixed. Looking sideways, I headed to the female staff at the reception.

"Welcome, what can I do for you?

"I want you to buy away the Warcraft material. And I don't think they've arrived yet, but they're supposed to arrive tomorrow and cancel the request for the town of Colette."

"What do you mean?

Submit your guild card because you've been sighted by suspicious people. I explained the situation to the officials who were circling their eyes on the rank silver card and managed to convince them. After that, arrange the bodies of the thunderbears, including the subspecies, in the courtyard. Ask them to assess the redemption. To prove to the people in town that they hunted thunder bears, I leave only two and then redeem them all.

"And may I take a moment?

Well, that number. What choice do I have? Until the assessment was over, I was looking through the guild and killing my time. View requisitions on the board in your spare time.

"East Cave... Megaslime, huh? I've never defeated him."

The slime system is opposed by our women. I've come to this world to meet all sorts of demons and warcraft, but slimes and ropers and the Null Nevada system have been avoided. I'm not going out of my way to see you.

Looking at the board, I saw someone coming in through the entrance. Well, there's been an adventurer in and out from earlier, so I didn't even care, but I saw the person who came in, and I accidentally looked twice.

"That's a winter night. How did you get here?

"Ende......!

A long white muffler with white hair as well, a black jacket on a white shirt, and black trousers and the same monotone style boy were surprised to see me.

"Why is Ende here?

"That's what I heard. I've been knocking down a King-Ape near here. I'm going home."

Ende answers with a bitter smile. King-Ape. Great monkey warcraft. The one who's certainly not very smart. I've fought before, too.

"No, I don't care about that. I have a lot more to ask than that."

"What do you want to hear? Well, fine, but I was wondering if you could give me a minute. I'd like to close the request."

Going to the reception and looking at Ende's guild card, which is submitting the crusade site, was rank red. When we received the reward and put it in our nostalgia, we sat across from each other in the bench in the corner of the guild.

"So, what do you want to hear?

"It's about Frase. Who the hell are those guys?

Hmm, and Ende showed a little thought, but eventually opened his mouth.

"There's something I can talk to you about and I can't talk to you about, okay?

"... I don't mind. Let me hear what I can tell you."

Ende began to talk about it deeply and into the chair as well.

"I don't know if you can believe me, but those guys aren't life forms in this world. visitors from a different world from this one, I wonder if I should say"

"Visitors? Aren't you the invader?

"I'm not going to be invading those guys, so I don't know if it's right to call them invaders. We came to this world looking for our own king from another world."

"King of Frays". You've heard it before. He said it was Frase's purpose to find him.

"Why would that attack humans?

"There's also a mix of things I can't talk about there, but Frase has a" nucleus "that can be a source of its life activities. If this is not destroyed, even if the body is crushed, it will absorb the magic of nature and someday regenerate. So, the" king "nucleus is in this world. They're killing people to get it back."

"Wait. What does it have to do with getting the" king "nucleus back and killing humans?

"Because the nucleus of the King is in the human body of this world."

What? The nucleus of the "king" is in the human body? You're killing humans to get it back!?

"Maybe you're not necessarily human. Although I'm sure they live in beasts, demons, life forms with some intelligence. The core of the King is dormant now. I guess I just said a state of provisional death. diving into someone in this world in that state and waiting to move on to the next phase. The fluctuations emitted by the nucleus of the" King "make the Frases realize that they are in this world. But they don't know the exact details. I can't hear the slightest" sound "that only a" king "has. I was wiped out by the sound of the host's heart. That's why I kill humans. To turn off the disturbing noise."

Wait a minute. Then what? I don't know who in this world. Are you killing humans from one end only to find the "king" nucleus in one!? I can't believe I'm doing exactly that, though I call it a smudge crush.

"What the hell is a Fraze..."

"It was originally an evolutionary life form in another world, but at one point, the" King "who heads the Frays disappeared from that world. It's the beginning of crossing the world after that. The" King "also has a purpose. I think it's inexplicable to interrupt. I wish I could leave you alone, 'cause those guys are working on instincts."

Like there's a queen in an ant or a bee. Do you think they're coming together to be attracted to it? And the purpose of the "king"?

"The nucleus of the" king "who crossed the world dwells in the human body of that world. It absorbs only a little bit of the host's life force and transfers to another host as the host reaches its lifespan. Repeat it and use the accumulated power to eventually travel again to another world"

"... Frase is coming for it? Killing humans from all over the world, searching for the nucleus of the" King, "and when the nucleus of the" King "moves to another world, it follows it and the Frases also leave..."

"Well, I guess so."

I'm not kidding. You're going to eat and scatter the humans in that world as if they were inago!? Moving from next to next while destroying the other world without orbit. Besides, we don't have the consciousness to be trying to destroy the world. I'm just doing it because I need it. There's no good, no evil, nothing there. It's an instinct.

"... you said Ende was also looking for the nucleus of the" King ". Are you killing humans, too?

"Oh no, don't get me wrong, I'm waiting for the" King "nucleus to move into the next world. I hope you're not with them."

... I don't know what this guy's purpose is. Is he like the guardian of the "king" nucleus? Either way, because of that "king," this world is a huge nuisance.

"What is the world's kingdom?

"Hmm... different worlds, like this... they are slightly uneven and overlapping like spiral stairs. We can go right up a step, but we can't go right up ten steps, can we? With this height apart from the world, we have to step through all the steps in order to get to the top steps. Well, I might be able to skip a step. But there are connections in the world that inhibit intruders from approaching. Normally, you can't even go up there."

I don't know, but I feel like I know. Maybe there's a part of this world that's common to the world I was in, because the discrepancy isn't too great.

"I think we've talked about this before, but this junction isn't like a wall, it's like a thin-eyed net. So if it's small and harmless to that world, we can get out. That's also why the" king "nucleus is crossing in a state of provisional death. Only a" king "can do such a thing."

Really... if you're in a state of temporary death, how can you not be bounced from the world? I guess it feels like coming in through a gap in the mesh.

"But when I'm forced through this juncture... well, normally I can't, but I can break. If you repeat it over and over again, eventually the hole will grow bigger and bigger, and if it opens completely, it will no longer serve as a junction. That happened 5,000 years ago."

Dr. Regina was talking about an invasion of Frays. He said he was about to destroy the world... Is that what happened?

"The junction was repaired for some reason then, and the threat of Frase left. Drive away the remaining frays and the world will not perish. I helped hunt for the rest of the party, too."

This guy told me it was 5,000 years ago. I knew I wasn't the only one. I'm definitely not human at all. Even so, what does it mean that the juncture is back to normal? I don't even seem to know Ende......

"If you go to sleep thinking this is safe for a while, you're making a scene again. The world is starting to break down again. I'm still barely keeping it, but I guess it's only a matter of time before the advanced frays come this way. Well, I don't know if that's a year from now or 50 years from now."

"... Is Ende on the side of man?

"I don't know about allies. My hunting for Fraze is like buying time. [M] Honestly, if the junction is broken, I might leave the rest to the end. I don't want to take Frase's side."

I knew I didn't know where this guy was standing. Are you saying it's just better if it's not on the Frase side at all?

"I guess this is where we can talk. It's time for me to run some errands."

That's what Ende says. He gets up and tries to leave the guild.

"... at the end. Ende, who are you?

"Me? I'm a" crosser. "Bye, Winter Night."

That's what Ende left the guild for.

The purpose of the fraise, the nucleus of the "king," the junction of the world...... You've found a lot out. Isn't that a hell of a lot to think about in real life? 5,000 years ago, we avoided the crisis by rebounding our ties. But this time? Can we stop the invasion of Frays? Frays will continue to hunt humans indiscriminately to find the nucleus of the "King". There's probably not that many who can fight it. There's no way to do it if you show up in a big group like 5,000 years ago...

Confused by the revealed truth, I left my guild behind after receiving money from a thunder bear redeemed at the reception.
