"How to use life as collateral, you know?
... er, uh, quite different worlds around there. I can imagine when or what - though it's a bit distant from our common sense of the world...
"Take it out and store it? Because of the collateral, it's always a bad idea not to be able to do something as soon as the Temple wants to do something, right?
"Master Left. The temple takes out the life of the brave man from vessel to vessel and stores it in the temple.... then, no matter how much you can hurt your flesh, if there is no life there, you will die.... A brave man sounds immortal, but he's just a lifeless puppet. '
Oh, whoa. Oh, I see. I mean... what is that... wambi?
... Now, just a little, just a little sympathy for you Fukuyama, me.
Or, for example, you should never let Suzumoto make a contract like that.
I feel the needlework will do something about it if I have to, but I have to hurry this way.
"How many brave men are there? We met one person."
"Hmm, I don't know about boulders. Because the temple is secrecy, it is hard to imagine such information leaking to the outside world '
Um, suppose there's almost zero way to stop a brave man. I don't know who's brave and how long.
"Brave men are moving to erase their culprits, aren't they? And that means a brave man, I figured out where the culprit was..."
'That's indescribable. Some are known to the temple for their location, while others are not. But at least the temple will know it exists. "
... I mean, the brave don't even know who doesn't know the temple, so I wonder if the brave know where the culprit is.
"What's the culprit like in the first place?"
"That would actually be quicker to look at. You'll see soon enough. '
I thought you said it was on that floating island. Yeah, I'll probably go take a look inside, yeah....... hmm? Is that it?
"Uh, does Mr. Alive Grimoire know where the culprit is?
'I can just predict. … so your people were in the temple'
... I'd like you to tell me a prediction of the location of the culprit, but if I don't say it any more, I guess that means keeping it to myself.
"Yeah. For once, there's one standing on the arrow, but there's another hiding in the shadow of that one, so I guess there's two of us right now."
'Hmm, that's wise. It would have been troublesome if they had pulled me apart poorly.... Hmm, I'll check. Your hope is to return all the other worlds lost to this world to their original worlds. Is there a mistake?'
"Yeah. All of us... Oh, I don't think anyone who wants to stay can."
Oh, my God, this is a different world. It's not strange to have someone in your dreams. People like that... you think you can stay in this world. Yeah. Well... if possible, we all want to go home.
"Complete.... Hmm, you want the right to make a decision? If...... at least now, it would be wiser not to be hostile to the Temple. If someone has already been made a brave man, the temple will have hostages. Therefore never let the temple know your desires. If they don't think the hostages are worth it, they may not be held hostage."
Oh, yeah, right.
Well... are the brave men both the ones we have to stop and the ones we have to protect? That's a pain in the ass.
'... and if. If you are hostile to the Temple, you must do it with the intention of crushing it thoroughly. That's gonna break your bones, huh? It's not like they're doing a temple job with Dada.... If you're going to crush the temple, you're going to spare no help, so come talk to me?... but now it would be better to retreat without a wave. The hostages, you're one of them. "
Hmm, I guess I agree with you on the whole.
"I wonder how I can make an excuse for a natural retreat without a contract or anything."
'That's a difficult problem.... Hmm, once I hear it, I can't seem to think of a way to reconcile it with the Temple'
"Yeah. I definitely haven't thought about it"
That's right. It's all too black. I think everyone but me shares my opinion.
I mean, it's because of the temple that we're doing this, so I don't want to reconcile!
'Okay, good reply.... then the rest would be either irrelevant or hostile. Then why don't you just leave without saying anything? Can you do that?
... Yep. Yeah, and.... right. Speaking of which, that's what I could do for once.
Right, right, right, right. Once the needle students got me out of the shadow of Suzumoto and everyone saw the view there, I could receive it and 'transfer' it. Yes.
Now that Suzumoto can be alone, the needle student should be able to come out and let everyone out.
But if you decide to withdraw, there's more you can do.
There are only two ways we can control time limits that we don't know when we're going to visit right now: to tell all the brave people about this, to get rid of the culprits, or to wait for the temple to perform the ritual, or to do something about the temple in the first place.
So, the latter one seems quite 'bone breaking', so I'd like to do something with the former if possible, but in that case, it will be the feather of finding all the brave men who don't know what will happen.
But if we know how many brave men there are, it changes the story somewhat. Even less, it should be easier than looking for a brave man who doesn't know if he's here.
So, you don't seem to know this book, the current number of brave men, the current movement or the position, so you definitely want Suzumoto to ask you out.
... Well, safety comes first. If you're going to infiltrate, you should decide to infiltrate. I think you should be ready.
"Yeah, thanks. I'll be back."
"Uh-huh. Watch your back."
In the meantime, I should get in touch with the needle students.
"Oh, welcome back"
"I'm home! Strategic withdrawal is not the best thing for now, so it was. If everyone has a view out there, that's how I can" transfer. "
That made you all look indescribable. Hey, that's not good, he said he retreated!
"... I don't know."
"I can't help it, the safety of Suzumoto and needle students is paramount"
Yeah, I guess I'll call the needle students, then. Activate the 'Communication' bracelet.
"Hello."
"Uh, Mr. Maido? Yeah, something's gone wrong. What shall we do? '
... What happened.
"Something. Suzumoto's on his way to the guest room. Come on... meet me."
... we'll see about that already. They all look disgusted if you look at them. Yeah, I don't like it either.
"Uh, now that I'm becoming a transparent person, why don't you 'metastasize' me right back?
'Yeah, that's fine...... uh... can I' metastasize 'while I'm in the shadow...'
Oh, well, then, we have to make a gap for needle students to come out. Yeah. I guess I should put him to sleep. Yeah.
Then I'll go that way. Say hello to Suzumoto.
'Yeah, come as soon as you can...'
Hey, looks like I'm rarely tired of needles......
... I didn't want to do it if I could, but it came up unexpectedly fast, transparent humanization.
I didn't really want to do this because I had to be completely naked... but I can't help it, at this point.
"You're going for a bit. I'm going to take my gear off, but never mind."
Take it off for now. Take it off while 'disguised'. I don't have much time.
Gentlemen, after a moment of pomposity, turn right and escape. Other than the president.
... Yeah, I should say gentleman, or somethin '... even though I have the nerve not to hesitate to pound concentrated sulphuric acid into the water when I make hirsulphuric acid...
"The president won't get away with it."
If this thing moves, it'll be the end of the world.
"There's no way Maido is going to start undressing without any precautions, so you don't have to run away."
Yeah, this guy's really a rationalist me. Nice. Nice.
After removing the apron and removing the head equipment, I was able to become fully transparent, so if I removed all the rest of the equipment, it would be the completion of a transparent human being.
"All right, I'll go then." Metastasis ""
"Go away. Take care."
Moving to a place you could all see in your sight, it looks like a hallway of a building made of marble.
In front of me is Suzumoto. There's a needle in the back already. And surrounded by knights of white armor and coat. These people must be knights of the temple.
And... yeah. You really are like this, so I guess this is the right time to come out.
Mixed with knights, Fukuyama was there. Commonly known as Arr.
Yeah. I don't know what to say. I can tell, Suzumoto's in trouble. At the time this guy comes out, it's decided to be easy on itself!
"So why are you here!
"So I hear who you are. Have you seen him anywhere? I don't remember anything at all. Maybe you are."
"Suzumoto, do you want to 'metastasize'?
Whispering not to be heard by the others in Suzumoto's ear, although his eyes moved slightly, he kept talking to the point where he was not suspicious.
"Are you... that one? Paranoia, is that the guy? Oh, you don't have to say."
I knew this guy was awesome. Yeah. I guess the reason this guy keeps even talking... is because if you let Fukuyama talk poorly, the settings he made at the corner will be Buddha. Because this guy should be lying a lot to hide the needle raw.
"Hold my hand back, if you like. Sing" Lullaby "and then" Transfer ". If you wait like this, stay put."
After I said it, I put my hand on Suzumoto's left hand, with a slight force, but I did grip it. Yeah, you're gonna be fine because you're not gonna break my hand a little harder.
Speaking of which, here you get the impression that when I sing "Lullaby" and then retreat, I've left unrelated to the will of Suzumoto and the others.
Well, no, let's just sing. Yes.
"... paranoid habits are all in vain no matter what you say. I'm sure you do, too, postponing an unexplained story from earlier..."
"Listen to people! So I... what? Song...? That, sleep......"
... In the meantime, everyone who was there went to bed.... Fukuyama, of course, the knights, and Suzumoto. Yeah, I can't help it. I can't even block my ears.
Then I grabbed Suzumoto and the needle student who came out of one of them and 'metastasized'.
... Listen to people, it's a dialogue over here...
"Welcome home. Suzumoto is... you're sleeping, this"
"Well, I sang," Lullaby ""
That, if I asked, would I fall asleep without any resistance? If so, isn't it the strongest for you? Let's hear it next time.
I went back to the lab so it was cold for now and I got dressed. As always, I can't wear inner tamper protective equipment when I'm alone, so by the way & I'll ask Sakura to help me wear it.
"... Maido, I don't know what to say, but I don't know what to do when I can get dressed right in front of my eyes because it's transparent."
Oh, yeah? Is that what this is about? I don't care if you guys change transparent in front of me, and, look, the president's not moving, okay?
But I'm starting to get dressed, so give me a break. Cold.
"Uh, sorry. If you're curious, look in the direction of the day after tomorrow."
"President, President, why is the President okay, hey"
"I look at the fabric products and I don't do it."
President Boulder!
... but... for once I cared, I wore pants only after wearing long panniers.
