Isekai Reicarnation?... No I wasn't!

Episode 93: Centennial Tower

"The weather is bad, the air is bad, it's the worst morning."

Early in the morning when the sun was still rising.

Everyone but my parents had already woken up to this strange atmosphere.

"Wow, it's dark. And sleepy."

"Around ~, I want ~"

Ull and Lynn were still asleep. She is waking up drowsy while rubbing her eyes.

"Either way, you really don't like the atmosphere."

The sky is cloudy and dim, and the air is heavy.

I have never felt such an abnormality when I lived there.

"Takigawa City... doesn't usually look like this, does it?"

"As expected, this is not the usual atmosphere." In the first place, today's forecast should have been fine. "

While returning these words to Junha-san, I will try to sharpen my senses by using my [strengthening] abilities.

Without a heart, I feel like I have more spiritual power in the air than usual.

Is the weight of this air due to spiritual power?

"Probably so. I've investigated the spiritual power reservoir before, but it feels the same as then."

Junha-san told me that while brushing her hair.

This unusual atmosphere and unexpected changes in the weather were also caused by the high concentration of spiritual power.

In other words, even though your hair has just been easily arranged, Junha-san's beauty aura is amazing. I was convinced that I could build a fan club.

I'm sorry to bother you while you're resting, but I've finished setting up the barrier at your parents' house.

Yes, thank you!

That's what Mr. Spade reported to me with a smile on his face.

In order to ensure the safety of the house, Mr. Spade had the barrier erected.

Eye care?

Hey, it's nothing.

It seems that Junha-san didn't notice my evil gaze. Thank you.

"... I've found it. I can feel an unusual sign of spiritual power a little way southeast from here." It seems to be the source of this unusual atmosphere. ”

While exchanging such chatter, Kuro identified the source of this anomaly in "Pseudo/Sensing".

As soon as I understood this anomaly, Kuro was searching for the cause.

"Map of the Konodes region, Krosan"

“Thank you, Nia. This is where the response came in.”

Nia in smartphone mode opened the map app and Kuro pointed to its location.

This is...

- A centenary tower.

"Centennial Tower?"

"It's a tower built to celebrate the centenary of the founding of Takigawa City. It's a building with an observation room that's nearly 60 meters high, but it closed a long time ago and no one can enter." It was before I was born, so I don't know the details. "

It's an iconic building in this city, but it's already in ruins?

I don't know if that's how it feels.

When I told Junha-san that, she changed her face and began to think about something. Mr. Sprout has a similar expression.

What's going on?

"Ah, I'm sorry I thought about it without explaining it." In fact, places where people tend to gather like ruins often become places of spiritual power. "

The existence of the ruins attracts a lot of attention. When the rumors that emerge from it attract the attention of more people, it seems that it becomes a reservoir of spiritual power.

"Schools and hospitals are easy to remember by locals, and when they become ruins, they can easily become an object of interest, so they can become a vault of unbelievable spiritual power. The evil spirits also come to me, so when I was little, I used to puke when I saw the ruins."

That's what Mr. Sprout taught me along with his difficult past.

I haven't seen the ruins with my eyes open, but I'll be careful not to throw up if I get a chance to see them.

"In that way, a building like the symbol of this city that has not been used for a long time is the best condition for gathering spiritual power." Maybe, but there's an awful lot of spiritual power in there. "

Is it bad if you're accumulating?

"There's nothing wrong with it just accumulating... but I'm sure it would be bad if it was abused." However, it shouldn't be so easy to use.

The same is true of Spitsu-san's [Auxiliary Spirit Barrier], but it seems that considerable caution is necessary to deal with the spiritual power in nature.

He also taught me that a huge amount of spiritual power requires out-of-track concentration and appropriate techniques.

It's difficult to do something with the accumulated spiritual power, but if you do something, it's pretty bad, isn't it?

"That's true, but something terrible is actually happening, and this timing is definitely due to the millennium chess game." That's why both me and Junye-chan thought about what we were going to do. "

An abnormal situation at a timing that is only relevant to yesterday's today.

Even during the fight, he said something about wedges, and the culprit was definitely the thousand-year-old Shogi pawn who fought yesterday.

Everyone seems to be convinced of that.

"There are times when a powerful demon is born from the accumulation of spiritual power, so I thought that you were intentionally trying to create and use such a demon, but... I feel that the risk is high."

According to Junha-san, even though the opponent who overwhelmed us is still likely in the city, it seems that the risk of being obstructed is too high to create a giant monster.

I certainly think so. If I'm in the opponent's shoes, I'd think I'd run off to another city and get ready.

"In other words, the opponent must be prepared to be defeated..."

I can't imagine the purpose, but I'm sure it's not busy.

"It's a battle against time." I think it's better to hurry. ”

I talked to Mr. Spitsu and Mr. Junha and decided to go to the Centennial Tower without waiting for support from the aquarium.

By the way, Junha-san contacted Longhai as soon as he woke up, but no matter how quickly, it took two hours for the reinforcements to arrive.

"Don't move until reinforcements arrive!" "But I think it is more dangerous to wait, so let me go first.

"It'll be early in the morning and the road will be clear, so it won't take you more than 10 minutes to drive here." Are you ready? "

It's okay.

No problem.

"Cacarca"

I'm fine ~

"It's okay, Death."

"It's okay."

Kuro and I will answer Spitsu-san's questions one after the other.

Are you ready, Junya?

─ ─ Apart from everyone else, that's what Spitsuki asked Junha-san.

The question may not simply mean that you have finished the preparation, but also include a confirmation of spiritual readiness to be calm in the face of your mother's avengement.

"... honestly, I don't think I can remain calm in front of a thousand years of chess. Most of the reason I've worked as a Yin Yang Magician for the last 10 years was to avenge my mother."

Junha-san leaned his face down a bit and spoke to me.

How much I admired my mother's appearance as a magician, how much I respected her as a person and how much I liked her as a family...

“The grudges and hatred that we have had for the last 10 years will not go away until we have defeated the thousand-year game of chess. But I thought I'd talked to Yukisuke's parents last night. Just like I loved my mother, she probably thought of me too..."

A classmate at my son's school, a school madonna, and a top-notch yin and yang magician. Junha-san, whose parents are filled with excitement, was more of a prey to his parents than anyone at dinner yesterday.

However, it seems that most of the topics at that time were about my school life.

Is Kohei doing well with his friends? Is Ko-chan bothering someone? They asked me a lot of that, and I think they felt how much my parents thought of me.

It's... embarrassing.

“Of course, I understand that you're not just the ideal parent. But my mother definitely still cares about me and Junna. My father, of course, wants us to be safe. I knew I could be sure of that.”

Talked like that, Junha-san raised his face and stared at us with a strong gaze.

"That's why I don't act like I don't care about myself anymore." It's okay! "

It wasn't completely blown out. Rather, it's not like I can blow it off.

Still, Junha-san's eyes were not clouded by vengeance or hatred. Looks like it's really going to be okay.

Alright, let's go then!

Because my parents are still asleep, I decided to leave with a letter that said not to leave the house.

There is a barrier between sprouts in the house, and I put up a "substitute tag" on the sleeping parents, so it will be okay if something happens.

By the way, I also gave a lot to Junba-san and Spatula-san.

"By the way, I was going to ask you yesterday, but you didn't... steal a lot of substitute cards, did you?"

“No, no! It's self-made!"

"J-You made it yourself...!?"

"I made it myself...!?"

When answering Mr. Spade's question while driving, not only Mr. Spade, but also Mr. Junha, showed the most surprises in this three-hour holiday.

Yuki, do you know how valuable replacement cards are?

"I don't know... I think I know." I remember the explanation of the game before the divine match. "

"Fufu, that's what I explained."

When he took part in the Shinto match as a masked magician, Junha-san explained the cards to me instead.

I miss it. It's only been three months.

"Then I'll explain again, but the replacement card is really valuable." The vault of substitute cards is raided, and plans are being worked out to kidnap each leader of the Five Great Yin-Yang Clans in order to acquire the skill of making substitute cards... so I think it's better not to say that substitute cards can be made. "

Junha-san gave me some serious advice.

A tool that could only lead to one death without injury.

Indeed, it would be too dangerous for anyone to know that such a thing can be made. It's not a strange technology to be targeted by the whole world.

I said, "I thought you knew...", but you were completely ignorant.

"Oh dear, I've already given it to people..."

Could it be that Shinobi-san or something?

"Ah, yes. I gave it to you through Sauge, how did you know?"

"Actually..."

During the battle with the magician with the evil god's heart, before I rushed in, Junha-san seemed to be fighting alongside Shinji-san and the others.

After that, Ryuhai invited Shin-san and the others to the house, and together with Junya-san, Junna-chan and Aur-chan who were present, they learned about the existence of the psychic and the situation of Shin-san and the others.

"Shinobi-san and Kasuke-kun are close, and Kasai-kun admired Kasuke-kun, so I thought he knew not only about the psychic, but also other circumstances."

"I see, that's why you thought I was giving it to you for your safety." That's quite right. ”

"I did it, it's not the right answer... I think you guys are fine, but I'd better tell you not to spread it out, just in case."

“Yes, and I'll be careful in the future.”

While receiving the cute Noritsukomi of Junha-san, I also gave him a thankful sermon.

I think I'll really be careful with the substitute cards.

"Ah! Speaking of which, I've even given Junna and Aur-chan a replacement ticket... did you say something?"

I remembered that during the battle with the magician with the evil god's heart, I also gave them a substitute card.

"I haven't heard anything... so I think they're both hiding it because it would be dangerous to spread it." I don't think I told my dad because I think he'll take some action. "

Is that so? Unlike me, they seemed to understand the dangers of possessing substitute cards.

I'll thank you the next time I see you.

"Then, what else do I know..."

"I was concentrating on driving and I didn't hear anything. I feel like I was handed a human bill yesterday, but I don't know what it was... no, I really won't tell anyone. Even the person I said it was going to be a hassle."

Certainly, "There is a magician who can make substitute cards by himself! If you say so, it seems that the person himself will be caught and asked about the situation.

“I believe you. And I'm sorry for getting into such a subtle and dangerous commotion.”

"I don't mind at all." If it hadn't been for Yuki-kun, he might have lost his life in yesterday's battle. I swear to you, at least in return, that this secret will not be shared with anyone even if they die and become ghosts. "

Mr. Sprout swore to me with a serious expression.

Good. For now, we're less at risk of being targeted for substitute cards.

By the way, do you know when this replacement card was made?

I guess... the replacement card I brought you this time was made before the holidays.

It was my first job as a freelance magician, so I took the time to create a new replacement card.

By the way, there are still a lot of things in the house that were made before.

"Then you'll be fine." The replacement card is like forcing a huge amount of spirit power into this small bill, so if it's not a proper storage place, the spirit power will be dispersed and the effect will be gone. I don't think I can keep it for a month or so, so be careful. "

"Eh..."

We're here ~

At the same time as arriving at the "Beiden Park" with the centenary tower, it was decided that most of the replacement cards in the house would be discarded. SDGs…….

Speaking of which, yesterday's mud swamp was ordered to return to its original shape without limit by the earthen shapes used for reconnaissance, so the traces of natural destruction should be healed. Maybe, it's okay... maybe.
