Isekai Taneuma

While studying the Imperial Capital's P99, Feng discovered something unexpected. The deep hierarchy of the terminal's database contained a lot of clipped images of newspaper articles published around the globe, but Emilia's death article hit her when she was searching for the full text.

Well, it seems that this world is much later than the time when Feng was alive, so there is no problem with her being dead. However, Feng couldn't imagine that he was dead in an accident, not aging. I came to Japan and stepped on it and kicked it, but it's not often that it ended up in an accident.

To be honest, I was shocked and didn't get into my head well, but I still had to look at the reality, so Feng slowly reviewed the contents despite the difficulty.

According to it, Emilia apparently fell and died from a dance floor on a staircase in an apartment with a friend's house. The apartment was twelve-storey with an elevator, but sometimes it was crowded during commuters and dinners, so she tried to go to the stairs in a hurry, but at that time she fell out of the dance floor with some kind of bounce.

The police investigated the incident, but it was not possible, and since she had no reason to die when she just came to visit her friend's house, it was treated as an accidental death. There was no further information in the article and there was no follow-up report, so I don't know what happened afterwards.

But even in such a short article, he discovered a contradiction. It was written that she was thirteen years old when she died, but when she was thirteen, she was in the first to second grades of junior high school, which coincided with when Feng started the incident.

But before Feng attacked senpai, I never heard of her dying. He lived a homeless life after the incident, but suppose he died at that time, what about Sofia?

Feng spent many years playing with Sofia in the game. As Jeanne, everyone, and the most powerful guild, the rough penguins. But from the date, Emilia was already dead when she was playing in the game. So, who the hell was Sofia?

It's possible that someone pretended to be Emilia, but for what? By and large, I realized Sofia's contradictions, but I still didn't think she was a fake. Not only Feng, but also Kazuya, who flew to the world with her, believed that she was Emilia. Because Sofia's burning pain character was her original character, who was an elementary school student... no, Pacli.

Anyway, I didn't think it was perfectly Emilia and someone else, such as the characters that I sometimes showed her. Assuming that's the case, I don't know why she had to pretend this time. Feng and Sofia didn't play for just a couple of days. I've been fighting for years as a member of the same guild in that online game world. I don't know what it means to do such a thing, and if it's fake, you'll get worn out someday.

"... fuaaaaa ~..."

Feng was stunned as he read the article, and suddenly he heard a voice falling out from behind. Looking back happily, the emperor was yawning as if he were asleep. Speaking of which, while I was busy on official business, I was spending some time before bed.

He was seen opening his big mouth and lowered his head to her in a hurry to fix it.

"It's been quite a while. This is where I'm going today."

"Are you sure?

"Yeah... I've got something to think about."

"Really... by the way, what does it say?

The emperor points to the monitor. This time it's an article that doesn't have photos, so I don't know what it says to her. Feng tried to recite the content to you, but immediately reconsidered it. Emilia is nothing but a childhood friend to Feng, but a god to the people of this world.

"Well, to put it simply... is God dead?"

"Hah...."

The emperor is twisting his neck like he doesn't know how. It's the same with Feng that I don't know anything yet. Is Emilia really dead? Who was Sofia? Maybe the article is wrong and Emilia is alive.

Feng returned to the room away from the terminal with such pale expectations in his chest.

Although it was good to go back to the room, I didn't sleep inside that day. Well, it's only natural that you found something like that. Now, I can't cry because I miss Emilia, but I still like her once. If that had been such a weird way of dying, I wouldn't have thought nothing of it.

Was Emilia and Sofia really different? I couldn't believe it when I looked back now. Sure, everyone in the game used an avatar, so it's not hard to hide and pretend to be someone else. But then why did Sofia try to become Emilia? Were you trying to trick Feng...?

I mean, why did Feng start the game in the first place? Because I did hear that Emilia was playing the game because of the wind rumors. But he didn't go to school by chance, and he didn't have any friends, so he shouldn't have had a chance to get that kind of information.

And why did he start that game... he tried to remember that time.

After attacking the seniors who defiled Emilia, the trial went on for years. In that case, Feng was the perpetrator, seniors... or his parents were the victims, so I guess he couldn't keep quiet. But if the world makes a scene, the danger lies beyond. That's why Feng intended to stand up without running or hiding.

However, although it was good to try so hard, he was still only a junior high school student and had no social power. The trial is rationalized and the circumstances are based on jurisprudence. However, Feng's opinions were merely emotional theories and were only in the way. So the trial was centred on lawyers hired by the father.

Even though he had caused the incident, the child was told not to do anything and was spending time in a room with nothing. The trial was conducted by parents on their own initiative, ignoring the person. Because the child is incapable of taking responsibility, the parents have to take responsibility. However, such a practice was unreasonable to him, who had spent a long time in an institution without parents.

That's why he didn't like being taken care of by his father and left home to live alone. It was painful for him to remain under his father's protection for so long, even though he could no longer succeed him.

It was easy just to live.

With vitality, he quickly became accustomed to any place. I cheated with my outlaw brother, ate dinner with an old man like the Homeless King, and my grandfather taught me a lot of fish and grass to eat. Time with homeless people was much more fun than I thought.

But if you deviate from society, society becomes an easy enemy. Even if you have the power to defeat no one, it doesn't solve everything. If that were the case, the world would be more violent.

He could not hurt people, but he could not protect them.

Old man, grandfather, Emilia....

The really strong thing is to protect. He felt it, and his father lowered his head to help him. I left the house because I didn't want to bother my father, but this is how I bother him again. He no longer knew how to live.

I lost to senpai, I lost to my father, I lost to society, that's all I had in my head, and I lost sight of my goal to live.

That's why I was listening to my father say split. Because there was nothing else to do. Instead of going to school, he was even reading a book at home at the behest of his father. Instead of memorizing the classics of east and west, they were just read. Anyway, as long as I read the book my father brought, I was told that I could do it myself, and as long as I was immersed in the book, I didn't have to think about anything extra, so I was reading it as I was told.

Among other things, I was told not only to read books, but also to do tea ceremonies, zen, painting and classic viewing. By that time, my father knew he wanted to be educated, so he accepted it without any particular reluctance. Anyway, just do what you're told, and you can do whatever you want.

As he continued his life in that way, he had some time to spare in his heart. I didn't remember Emilia that much anymore, and I didn't remember the dead old man or the old man who taught me how to fish.

However, there was something like guilt about forgetting about them, so I went to see the riverbed as if I remembered it occasionally. But after what happened, nobody was there anymore. Hanging a fishing line and waiting, no one came there anymore.

Emilia's memories faded as her house moved away. When I remembered her face, my chest was not hurt.

He was starting to feel irritated that he shouldn't stay like this. I lived in peace under my father's protection, but I lost myself.

So he thought about leaving the house on a part-time basis. And I was reading a job magazine while drinking coffee in front of a late-night convenience store. There came a group of junior high school classmates. Feng was just hiding in the shadow of the car, so neither he nor I noticed each other. However, when Feng's name suddenly appeared in their conversation, he was surprised to hear it. They were saying this.

Someone who made a scene in middle school, right? The outsider he tried to help now plays games every day. I envy gaming without going to school.

Feng knew what they said about the game. Recently, it was a VRMMO game developed by his father's company. He said that it was the first time in the world or something and that he was definitely his father's secretary. I'm sure the sample is sleeping in the warehouse....

Feng, if you play online games, you can see her. was considered. Her family has rejected her, but there's no way she can tie her actions to the game. Anyway, it's good to keep her identity hidden, and as far as Feng is concerned, I just need to be able to confirm her safety. First of all, I don't know if I can find her in such a game....

And he started the game with such an excuse.

"Isn't that too much?

Feng got up on the bed where he was lying and jumped up.

To tell you why he couldn't sleep on his bed and remembered something like this back then, it was because he found Emilia's death story. That's not necessarily the real thing. Anyway, I didn't actually see what happened. But if that were true, Emilia would be dead at this point. Then why are there such rumors...?

Feng did not return to junior high school after the incident. So of course I didn't know the rumors I heard there. It is possible that the school was hiding Emilia's death. But if the rumor goes around saying she can't stand the door, and that she's dead, is it true that she's playing games like this...?

Were the junior high school classmates really in front of the convenience store at that time? It is too easy by chance. I feel something artificial. But if it's really artificial, who would do this for...

My head was chaotic like fog. I felt that Feng somehow saw someone who looked beyond the fog, but the moment I tried to grasp it, it disappeared like a cloud.

After the next day, Feng was checking P99 for the Emperor's precious sleeping time. Nevertheless, the source of information on the boulder was limited by newspaper articles alone, and in the end it was equal to not knowing anything.

I checked to see if there had been any incidents at the end of VRMMO's service that Feng and the others were playing, but nothing in particular came out.

If there had been any impact on the body remaining on Earth when consciousness was flown into this world, it would certainly have been an incident, so it would be reasonable to assume that the remaining phoenix there was a phoenix and that he had normally completed his life afterwards. That's where his life broke up.

And I think I'm doing something soft there, but unfortunately I didn't know anything about it. After all, I looked into Emilia's death as well as what happened to me, but I didn't seem to have a life with a name in a newspaper article. I don't think Emilia can do anything. The last of the four pillars of God did not yet reveal himself.

One day, an early horse rushed into the Imperial Capital. It was good news that an advance party of the brave army was finally coming to negotiate a ceasefire. Feng's party members were among them, so he decided to ask for surveillance to pick him up. Because I thought it pathetic that no one would greet me even though I came to the Imperial Capital.

But as he walked up to the wall to greet him, there were many people there, contrary to expectations. It seems that the Imperial Capital is very sparsely populated due to the reduction in the number of priests, but it seems that more than half of the city is gathered in this state.

I thought the Imperial Capitalists were free to gather so many spectators from Yuyama, but that was a mistake. Soon, the gates of the castle opened and the faces of the brave army entered the castle town, and the crowd cheered unexpectedly.

It was a real welcome for the arrival of the brave army. It is strange to think that such a cheer would rise to the opponent who had broken up with the enemy and killed each other until the other day. I wondered if this empire was under control more than I thought, but that was also different.

I heard them screaming indiscriminately and found out why. The Imperials welcomed the Imperial Army that defeated the Demon King and the Brave Army that triumphed with him.

Speaking of which, I defeated the Demon King... I completely forgot.

As Feng pondered such a thing, he saw his party members popping out of the army that had arrived. As Jeanne ran away crying, and immediately thereafter Lucy's happy expression continued, Guillaume was smiling as usual.

It's only been a few days, but I kind of miss it. Feng welcomed such a companion with a smile, but he felt a strange separation in his heart.
