- Are you okay?

The next time I returned, there was Mami and Leila peering into my face worryingly in front of me.

"... you worried me. I'm fine."

There's no reason to be okay.

The apple is dead.

Nothing can be okay.

Still, you can't worry about these guys.

So much energy as it seemed, I had managed to get away.

I felt like I was having a bad dream.

But the fact that it wasn't a dream was attested to by the appearance of Mitsuki, who courteously gave instructions to the porters.

"Is this a shark dojo?"

"Ugh, yeah. Soma seemed like a tough guy, so give me a shoulder..."

He brought me in useless, it seems.

Seems to have annoyed Leila and Maki before they knew it.

Trying to say thank you once again, I realize one odd thing.

Why is Mitsuki in command of the dojo?

"... hey, both of you. What about Mr. Asahi now?

"That, is..."

Leila says finally.

A clear voice flew from behind it so as to make up for it.

"My father went into the city alone as soon as the city was wrapped in fog"

"Mitsuki......"

Mitsuki walked over here with a tense atmosphere, the same as just before.

"The prior arrangement said I'd be back once as soon as I got into the city, but it seemed impossible.

Then for about five minutes I was grasping the position with the Explorer's ring, but after a dozen seconds when I suddenly felt the place was moving more active, the reaction disappeared.

Probably engaged a shard of the Evil God. "

"That's..."

Killed by a shard of evil god, is that it?

But I didn't have the courage to speak clearly of it.

"But thanks to you, I got the information.

That fog would be the special abilities of the evil gods that video records also mentioned.

The effect is probably to stop the escape from the field.

Unless you defeat that shard, you can enter the city, but you can't leave. "

Then, and Mitsuki connected the words,

"The shards of the Evil God are strong. To the extent that my father is killed in a dozen seconds, relative."

"Mitsu, ki......"

With a resolute face, he clearly uttered a word that everyone had avoided making clear.

I lost my expression, no, I didn't know what to do to Mitsuki, who was pushing and killing emotions.

"Oh, that! I saw the final story of the tablet..."

So, Maki shouted out loud and drew attention.

With a desperate face that doesn't look good, he tries to pass on to us information that only Maki knows.

"The shards of the Evil God kill each other.

So, the winner absorbs the power of the loser.

So if you go to the main body where that shard is sealed... "

"The main body is resurrected, no, you mean a stronger evil god shard that combines shards with the power of the main body"

I don't know how evil god shards behave.

But there's no better reason to stay there than to destroy all the people in the city.

At that time, if the shards of the Evil God aim for the location of the main body, this is the end of the world.

"... let's knock it down"

The words came out of my mouth naturally.

Naturally.

That's actually because that's the word I've been meaning to say ever since I woke up.

"Defeat the shards of the Evil God. If we don't defeat him, otherwise, this world..."

"Are you sure it's for the world?

Mitsuki's cold words shoot me through, like they're pouring cold water on me trying to get in and talk me out.

"If it wasn't for the world, what would it be for?

"Do you need to mouth that? You know best."

I just had to shut up.

- Revenge for the person who killed the apple.

I couldn't deny that motive.

Denying it made me feel like I was going to deny the remorse of losing an apple, and I couldn't even say such a thing or lie.

"Mitsuki, don't you regret it? Apples, and even Asahi..."

"You can't be sorry. But I have something more important than that."

No matter how strong the words hit, Mitsuki was as if she hadn't wavered.

I'm sure this is the difference between straining and being real.

It is the difference between merely ordinary people and those who have walked on the battlefield to their homes, in the meaning of living to protect justice and the weak.

"That is clearly stronger than Ramric's subsurface shard that you fought in the play.

Can you beat me?

"... we'll win. Whatever."

That's what I said in my mouth, but I'm not ready, I'm not equipped, obviously.

Fragments of the Evil God are opponents that can never be won by force pushing alone.

Without the appropriate measures, I can't even get up on the same mound as him.

But still, if I don't win, there's nothing I can do...

"You can't."

Just now.

Mitsuki cut off my strengths and threw them away.

"Hey, based on what..."

"Even to me, I know if you're serious or not."

At times like this, Mitsuki's acumen and the length of her relationship with me work against her.

What's the matter, I don't feel like I can hide anything from this guy.

"Then what are you going to do?

As it is, this world... "

Mitsuki answered flatly, not moving a single eyebrow against me yelling irritably.

Let's get out of here.

But I don't know what that means.

There is no way to stop even the shards of the Evil God.

Yet, ignoring the danger of the body being resurrected, I can't believe you're running away.

"I can't do that. Running away, where the hell are you running away..."

"To your world."

"Become!"

The words that followed were truly unexpected.

But it's impossible.

"I can't do that. Mitsuki doesn't understand.

Death Flash is a bug that forces players to log out.

So if you succeed, only a guy with player attributes... "

"So I'm asking you and Maki to run away."

Now it's time I opened my mouth.

"What you don't understand is you."

If you noticed, Mitsuki's face was approaching close range.

Its faint face is even closer, and its hands are layered.

"The important thing I really want to protect is you."

"What..."

In the gripped hand, strength holds.

In cold hands, each other's body temperature is transmitted to bring heat.

"A family member, a friend, a man at the same gate laughs at what is sweet among the many sacrifices that have been made.

But to me... I just can't stand you dying.

Even if I never see you again, I can do anything just because I can believe you're alive somewhere.

Even if you fall without strength, you have no remorse. "

- So please, you go back to your original world.

Mitsuki's, uh, to the plea.

I found the gear in me stuck in and my heart shook about.

"Go home, ru... Really? You can go home, I can't."

Until now, the possibility of being unconscious.

But, sure, the terms are right, it seems.

"Just, duh..."

It's about looking at me right now, Leila, and Suthern.

Give me Ena, Thiel, who's supposed to be in Ramric.

Doesn't that mean abandoning all the others who live in this world?

"I knew you couldn't do that..."

At least.

At the very least, just a shard of the evil god in the king's capital, somehow...

"... wait, right?

Thoughts entering the labyrinth converge in one direction.

It's hard to beat the shards of the evil gods in the Wang capital with a positive attack method.

Somehow it's like wiping out all the human beings in the King's capital.

I haven't taken any measures or anything. I'm not the enemy you can beat me.

But vice versa.

In this desperate situation, I have no problem using that one.

No, I'd rather use that one...

"- A forbidden ritual of the Sorcerer's Guild"

That's what I said. I was standing unconsciously up.

"Oh, Ma?

Maki looks at this one with a surprised face.

Perhaps he wondered if I had finally broken into words without context.

But hate and I'm insane.

I'm trying to stay sane and do the dumbest thing I can.

"Mitsuki. The Sorcerer Guild event has stopped on the way.

Let's finish that event with our hands. "

"Mage Guild event? No way......"

I knew Mitsuki was a good guess.

I laughed and said to Mitsuki, who had a surprise look on his face.

"Oh. A forbidden ritual that devastates the city.

Using it, we might be able to wipe out the shards of the evil gods in the city "

It's a rough plan.

In the unholy city, the magic formation of the roof may be broken, and the interruption may prevent the event from functioning.

Also, activation itself does not necessarily mean that we can defeat the shards of the Evil God, even if we succeed or even in a ritual that has desperately killed all humans.

"Still, it's worth a bet.... right?

For the first time, Mitsuki gets upset by my words.

"But you're in the original world..."

"Even after you defeat the shards, you can go home.

… and I noticed. "

Drop the lights, and take what you don't normally say, very seriously.

"After all, the last place I'm going home isn't the original world.

The Mitsukis say where my people are is where I am. "

The first answer I've figured out since I lost something important.

But I don't think it's too late.

Just the people on this scene right now, I...

I...

"- Sooooooooma, come on aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

But such a quiet statement of my resolve was smashed by a sudden intruder.

He stormed at me at an awesome rate, one woman.

It's a lady in a maid's clothes who doesn't belong anywhere.

Or she, for sure, took care of you in the case of Arken Mansion, or the killer who took the ring...

"What's your name, yeah...... dodgy maid?

"It's a lilm! Remember that properly.

I already brought you a delivery. "

"No, delivery or something like that..."

My words stopped when I saw what Lilm had offered me.

And then maybe my heart stopped a little too.

"Kuma?!

It was that kuma that Lilm poked out.

Why did you go to the castle with the apple?

Lilm laughed horribly as I stared with suspicion and confusion and an irresistible and exciting eye.

"Eh heh. That's right. I used the magic of my magical pocket about an hour ago, and then suddenly this kid came out of the inside.

Take me to Mr. Soma, with this brush talk... "

Kuma, I don't care if I can even write your letters at this time.

"Kuma! Where's the apple? What the hell are apples..."

He asked me out of breath, and Kuma offered me a piece of paper.

[]/(n) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk

I don't know.

Hiragana's line, like a machine punched in.

A concise word, arguably short of words.

But......

"What the hell, this. haha haha......"

I can't stop laughing.

Even if I try to hold it down, I can't help but feel sick. A slight laugh springs up later.

"Oh, my God? What's wrong?

Maki, who is somehow distracting me from earlier, asks me roughly.

But I'm fine.

... It's really okay, now it is.

"Don't you see? This is a notebook.

And I can type letters into this notebook (...) There are only three humans in this world "

Instead of writing letters in your notebook, my world's technology 'order' is essential to typing letters in.

You are mastering that order….

"- Coming from the other world, me and Maki. And then... just the apples."

The cash thing was clear in my head like it cost me a while ago.

Then I immediately think of one possibility.

There is only one place in the city of Richter.

An isolated area escapes the eyes of Mitsuki's Seeker's ring.

"... Mage Guild Headquarters, commonly known as the 'Tower of Magic'"

The only way to get inside that tower, which is data-independent, was to open the concealed door, and Apple remembered how to open the concealed door to the tower in a previous commotion, threatening the magician guild's executives.

A space isolated from everything, in that demonic tower, may not be impossible to hide from the evil gods either.

And even in that place, where we can't communicate all, there's only one.

I can only interact with items using a magical pocket.

And, and!

There must have been some magical pocket gems left in the apple pocket that I gave you in the trap room!

It's all connected.

There's no more reason to come here and hesitate to move on.

"... let's go, to the demonic tower.

Defeat the shards of the Evil God.

And pick up our people. "

Wait for me, Evil God shard.

This is where we fight back.
