Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?
After informal talks
I'll take care of the back of the meeting room and head to the private room.
Closed the door, made sure I was alone, and I sat down in the chair to fall down.
Now my legs are shaking.
I exhaled a great sigh.
No matter how many times you go through it, the fear of death is unfamiliar.
I could survive this time, but what will happen in ten days?
I'm scared to death.
but more than that, if the world perishes while I'm gone, that anxiety is great.
I made him hypocritically say that it's okay to be without me in a meeting place, etc., and in fact, divine discourse would not waver without me.
Still, I can't wipe away my anxiety that something should happen while I'm at it.
Put a drink in your trembling knee, stand up, and take the liquor bottle on the shelf.
I usually weigh myself down, but it would be permissible to open this lid about today.
Not so long ago, that short meeting cornered my body and mind.
"Can you get me two glasses?
Turning suddenly to the voice I heard, there was the Black Dragon sitting gracefully in his chair.
"That's right, you got a pretty cold liver on that one, too," he said.
"I'm not impressed with peeps."
Taking my bitterness away, the Black Dragon made that grin glossy deeper.
Swallow the sigh that is about to come out, prepare two glasses and lower your hips across from Master Black Dragon.
Hand the glass poured with liquor to Master Black Dragon and pour the same into your glass.
"Well, cheers."
The sound of clear glasses hitting each other lightly.
Liquor pours into your mouth from a leaning glass and transmits irritation to your old throat.
The liquor I haven't had in a long time was apparently a little too irritating for my old body.
"How was that?
Tilt the cup silently for a long time, and Master Black Dragon asked that as he poured his second cup himself.
"I don't know."
I honestly told him so.
At this meeting, I couldn't understand anything about the girl named White, who named that administrator.
I couldn't even guess what kind of person he was, and on the contrary, they tried this one.
The last word, "Your readiness, let me see", speaks above all of that fact.
The side to try and the side to be tried.
It was as if it appeared as a power relationship as it was.
"I guess. I'm not sure about that either."
Master Black Dragon stirred up the liquor laughing in a good mood.
"Is it the truth that that's a better administrator?
"I also feel it's unfair for me to reveal that, but okay. That's a good administrator. So much more inside the system than I am."
At the same time I was convinced by the words of Master Black Dragon, I felt more tired.
"Are you saying that the more its administrator moves immediately, the worse the situation is"
"Sorry."
The Black Dragon told him so lightly and put his hand on the third cup.
"But it's not that pessimistic either. Will that accomplish it, or will I disappear? At the end of the day, the destination is either one of them. All I have to do is move to that prepared scenario and pretend to know nothing"
When Black Dragon disappears, he tells such a story with pleasure somewhere.
"Are you sure?
"What?
"You will be the next pillar of the system."
"Oh. You mean that"
"Yeah. After the goddess dies, there will be no reason for you to stay in this world. Not to mention taking over after the goddess."
"As I said before, it's better for me to come this far and abandon you. Sariel wouldn't want that either. Besides, I'm not worth living in, like, a world without Sariel. Then it's not too bad to use this life for this world that Sariel loved at the end."
By the way, while I'm telling you something that bothers me, I'm sure this guy won't talk about it if you ask me that.
This person does not rely on anyone.
No one had anything lined up.
And no one had anything to trust.
That's why there's only one.
In me, I don't deserve to stand next to this one.
Is that why?
When is the Black Dragon in a bad mood?
Because enough beings appeared to stand next door.
"That's funny. You know what I'm called in that shadow?
"Well, I can't even imagine"
"He said it was hectic."
Oh, my God.
For the apex being of this world, heckling is.
Is it audacious or what?
It seems completely separate from the image of a quiet and clear meeting.
"I feel like I can't help it if they say so. I kept refusing to make a choice. That's why we don't have the right to choose anything yet. I just move according to the prepared scenario. Will that complete the scenario, or will it fail on the way? Let's see that. I don't care which way you fall."
It can be inferred from Blackdragon's words that White is willing to accomplish something bigger than I think.
And I guess that's what you're telling me to stay out of the way.
"I just hope that scenario and the others are not avenging people"
My response is now settled.
No matter how much Black Dragon advises you, if it is not for the people, you will not obey.
I'm also losing my right to make choices.
That choice is to move for the sake of people.
"Right. That was a treat."
When I noticed, the contents of the liquor bottle were gone.
My glass is left with just a sip of the first glass.
Most of them seem to have been drunk by the Black Dragon.
By the time I realized that fact, the figure had disappeared from the seat across the street.
