Machine Lion Roar
408th Leonard Testarosa
This is a different story from the original setting.
It can also be understood that in order to maintain the writing ideas of this book, the two-set story is adapted under the dual setting of the abyss setting and the special point of time and space.
――――――――――――
The sunset is blood red.
On a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, the tide that hits the coast back and forth has been soaked by the scarlet that converges from the beach.
In the sky, the lingering seabirds are looking down at this piece from high above. No, it should be the small island below that has become the land of death, always watching the humans who brought death to this small island. How to kill the same kind to death.
"!"
A gunshot tore apart the island of death that had been soaked in scarlet and shrouded in death.
"Get out of here! Leonard. Now, you still have time to look back!"
The unabashed murderous aura, as well as the pistol held by the iron-like wrist, all reminded the young man whose body was stained red by blood to not take any further steps.
"what!"
A painful scream rang.
It was sent by a pretty girl with long brown hair.
Panicked, the girl who was almost on the verge of collapse by the bloody sight of corpses in front of her screamed in pain.
"Let go of me! Let me go! Why are you taking me here! I simply can't do everything you said!! Let me get out of here!"
"To shut up!"
Facing the muzzle, the boy still pulled and pulled without fear, and the girl whose hair was gripped by the boy suddenly suffered.
"Let go of her! Leonard! This device is not for you to use at all! Why are you so obsessed with it!!"
Standing on the corpse of a comrade-in-arms, who could almost be regarded as the last guardian of the island, the middle-aged man shouted.
However, his big drink did not get the effect it should have.
Perhaps, from the beginning, his voice would have no effect at all.
Because, from the beginning, the young man's mind had already been decided.
From that night, the taboo I witnessed began,
From that time, I was pushed away by my mother,
In the heart of the young man, perhaps he had already made up his mind.
To this day, after exhausting every possible means, the boy who did not hesitate to dye his hands red finally came to the device he knew.
To this end, he sacrificed everything he had, and burned all his subordinates, power, and wealth, in order to stand in front of this device, and then send the girl who has been under its control.
Start the device,
Fulfill his wish.
Now, before completing this step, he still needs to clear the last obstacle.
"It's ridiculous! Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin, I didn't expect that my last enemy was you. Why didn't you agree to my invitation? Logically speaking, you are the same as me to some extent. The world is so ugly. , So dirty. Why, stand in front of me and block my steps."
The boy's left hand pulled the innocent girl's hair, and his right hand slowly raised the pistol, firmly pointing at the middle-aged man called Kalinin.
"Reset the world? Haha. What a wonderful wish! But after thinking about it, I found that human beings are always living creatures in the present. Whether it’s the past or the future, most people’s Keep your eyes on the present. Even the child I expect should probably live in the present."
The middle-aged man tightened his index finger slightly and stared sharply at the young man in front of him, that is, Leonard.
"Is the expected child? Is it the young soldier named Sosuke Sagara? It's a pity. In the assault just now, he and my fallen angel died together."
The boy who became omniscient by his subordinates smiled and said everything he knew, and then the boy sent out an invitation again.
"Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin. I'm very sorry for the death of Sagara Sosuke! But, isn't there a chance before you now? As long as you let the road open, and when I send this woman to the device, everything will be fine. Will come again. And the dead Sagara Sosuke will stand in front of you again."
Leonard's voice kept ringing in Kalinin's ear like a whisper of the devil.
"!"
Kalinin fired.
The screaming bullet did not hit Leonard. Instead, it swept past the feet of the poor girl under Leonard's control. It fell into the scarlet stall, splashing a trace of the girl’s clothes red Splash.
"Leonard. I said. Your plan, I am not interested. And, even if the world is reset as you said. But in the reset world, there will be With your presence. If you are still dissatisfied, do you have to reset it again?"
Kalinin's words left Leonard stunned.
In fact, Leonard never thought of what Kalinin said, never thought of it from beginning to end.
All he knows is to find the right whisperer, then seize the device from Mithril and reset the world.But what happens after resetting the world
Leonard did not think about it carefully.
It may be said that in Leonard's heart, there is only the glimmer of the beautiful light left in his life that is almost extinguished in the illusory reset world.
"Huh, hum, hum hahahaha!"
Leonard smiled.
He really laughed.
This is not an angry laugh.
It was the joyful laughter that suddenly came out after being reminded.
"I regret it! Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin. It would be nice if you could say these things to me earlier. Perhaps, I won't make these mistakes."
Leonard's words stunned Kalinin.
however,
Next second,
The gunfire rang.
"!"
It was Leonard's pistol that fired.
When Kalinin was disturbed by Leonard's words, Leonard shot without hesitation.
The moment when the red flower that symbolizes Kalinin's last life blooms, it means that no one will block Leonard's path anymore.
"Ray Leonard! You will regret it!"
Since the end of the battle, Kalinin, who had been confronting Leonard with his last breath, was struggling and swallowed his last breath.
"Perhaps! Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin! I hope you and I can become good friends in the new world!"
The young man who had finally cleared all obstacles stepped forward, resolutely and indifferently stepping on the red that submerged the ground, dragging the girl who had lost all resistance and will to the device-the device that claims to be able to reset the world .
"Go! Complete your mission from birth to today!"
At the moment when the girl's body completely disappeared from the device, the world before Leonard's eyes became a vast expanse of whiteness, and all the sounds were lost, and what was left was indescribable silence.
When the voice returned to Leonard's ears again,
When the color reappears before Leonard’s eyes,
Leonard's consciousness gradually returned, and he gathered everything in front of him.
"This···"
The furnishings in front of him were so unfamiliar and familiar, but Leonard was able to call out the names of the furniture placed in front of him in the next instant, as well as to skillfully find out the toys hidden under the table.
"This... Am I back here?"
This is a memory that Leonard has almost forgotten.
This is the room where Leonard lived when he was a child.
Moreover, Leonard, who was standing in front of the mirror, saw the immature face even more.
That was my childhood self.
After looking around, frantically finding out the calendar and alarm clock to compare the time and day, Leonard sat by the bed, both surprised and incredulously looking at the familiar room.
"I... Am I really back? A new world?"
Although Leonard vowed to reset the world before that, after resetting the world was really successful, Leonard was a bit at a loss.
"Ding Dong Ding Dong!"
Just as Leonard quietly wiped out everything in front of him, a huge bell rang.
The bell kept reverberating in the room, awakening the light in Leonard's eyes, until Leonard's eyes became completely bright, Leonard jumped up from the bedside.
"Oh! Mom!"
In the sound of the bell, Leonard's almost forgotten memory stung Leonard deeply.
Yes!
It's today!
In the depths of memory, when he was a child, Leonard ran into the forbidden mistake of his mother today.
This also affected Leonard's life and caused the mistakes that occurred in Leonard's tragedy.
Without any thoughts, Leonard just followed his instinct and pushed open the door and ran towards his mother's room.
"hurry up!"
However, just as Leonard was about to walk down the stairs, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
"If you are still dissatisfied with the world after the reset, what will you do? Do you reset it again?"
Kalinin's words rang out in Leonard's mind.
In an instant, an inexplicable fear firmly controlled Leonard's limbs, making him unable to take even one step.
Even though Leonard was cruel before successfully resetting the world, he sacrificed everything in order to achieve his goal, but in the face of this world that is most likely to be reset successfully, he is facing the mother who is about to see again. At that moment, Leonard's cowardly instinct revived.
Again,
Again,
Again,
Kalinin's words sounded like a curse, constantly ringing in Leonard's ears.
Leonard's limbs were more like lead, unable to move at all.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, at the moment when Leonard was sweating profusely and struggling constantly, the door on the first floor opened.
someone is coming!
Is that person?
The one who made mom make mistakes?
Was it the one who caused the destruction of the Leonard family?
When the figure resented by Leonard gradually became clear in Leonard's mind, a group of anger would immediately control Leonard's limbs, causing his immovable fear to rush away and he could no longer control it. The body of Leonard.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
The rapid footsteps were Leonard's anxiety and Leonard's anger.
However, when Leonard, who rushed to the first floor like the wind, saw the figure opening the door clearly, he was surprised to find that the person standing outside the door was not the figure in his memory that he had hated for a long time. It was the figure standing in front of him again.
mother,
And his twin sister, Teresa.
"Ah! Leonard, you are already awake!" The woman who looked at Leonard who suddenly rushed to the first floor, holding Teresa cried out in surprise.Then she pondered for a while, and then smiled.
"Leonard, you came just right. Why don't we go shopping together, okay? We don't have much food at home. Can you do me a favor?"
Everything that happened before his eyes had deviated from Leonard's memory.
And this deviation also made Leonard unable to react in time, but driven by instinct, he was held by his mother and left home with his sister Teresa, and walked out of the supermarket not far away.
"Brother. Here you are!"
In a daze, a lollipop appeared in front of Leonard's eyes.
It's Teresa.
I saw the twin sister showing a smile and waved the lollipop in her hand.
"Here you! Brother. This is Tessa's last lollipop. I'll give it to your brother. It's delicious!"
Leonard, who subconsciously took the lollipop from Teresa's hand, just nodded, then lowered his head to look at the lollipop in his hand.A trace of warmth quietly flowed through Leonard's heart.
"different···"
"completely different···"
"This world is really reset!!"
There is no lollipop in the memory of Teresa, but now Teresa has sent a lollipop to herself.
These changes made Leonard's spirit gradually excited.
After paying so much, I finally succeeded.
"World! Reset!"
Feeling the warmth in his mother's hands, Leonard's cold heart began to melt quietly.
"Be careful!!!"
At this moment, a harsh brake sound suddenly tore through the noise of the street, and brought the scream of fear to Leonard's ear.
Into the air.
It was Leonard's feeling at this moment.
then,
In that high flying sight,
Leonard saw her mother, who was holding Teresa tightly in both hands, hit hard by a truck that had come from nowhere.
Immediately afterwards, there was a round of spinning, and the severe pain of falling to the cold ground.
However, these did not affect Leonard's thinking and actions.
I saw Leonard, who was holding the lollipop given by Teresa tightly in his right hand, climbed up from the ground and madly rushed to his mother and Teresa who were knocked out more than 20 meters away. By your side.
"mom!!"
The cry from the heart finally broke through Leonard's throat and resounded through the world.
However, the woman who should have responded with a smile fell into a pool of blood, leaving only one sister who had exhausted her last strength and pointed to her sister who was protected in her arms by Yin Hong, but was also soaked by Yin Hong. .
"Do not!!"
The ambulance came, but mother and sister left.
The world is reset!
So sure in the boy's heart!
However, Mom still left!
"If you are still dissatisfied with the world after the reset, what will you do? Do you reset it again?"
In the red and blue lights of the ambulance, the eyes that had just been melted by warmth were once again shrouded in darkness and covered by coldness.
"Reset again! No matter how many times, I will reset the world I hope to succeed."
The boy looked to the east, as if he was going to look at the mysterious device that was about to be placed on a small island by those people across endless time and space.
Until the young man had crossed a long, long, long time that he had already forgotten, and had overcome one, one, and another, so many difficulties that he could not even remember.
Finally one day, during a long journey, a teenager who stopped a little while sitting on a certain beach, watching the oncoming cat and a man, stood up and smiled, making a welcome gesture.
"Welcome! A knight from another world!"
