Monster no Goshujin-sama

16. Black of Loss, White of Regression

Sixteen.

There is no way.

It's no natural reason to stop traffic with construction.

That's not possible because this is only my world.

So that's not what happened - it was just that that area, including the road, was painted black.

It's as if someone accidentally zeroed black ink on the landscape painting.

Most of all, it wasn't black, like black ink, absorbing light.

It was too cold a vain black, which the world itself fell short of but arose for.

"What is this?"

Literally, the world is interrupted here.

It doesn't exist.

That can't be right.

"Sure here..."

He said there must have been a way to go to high school.

Trying to say that, I noticed.

... I've noticed.

Every day, the way to school I was supposed to go.

A familiar landscape, though I was biking through it unexpectedly.

I couldn't remember what it was like.

That's why - I can understand that this is' that sort of thing '.

"... is that so? This is my world."

More importantly, that's how he recognized it.

So it wasn't that hard to get to the answer.

"What I don't remember is that it's missing"

It was something Salvia had advised me before.

Something that belonged to a person whose soul lost its original body, diminished its gaze, and retrieved it as a result.

My unique ability has the side effect of losing memories of the world I was in.

The loss was reflected in this world.

"Sir..."

"Summer?"

As I care, you two call me in.

I smiled small and bitter.

It was hilarious, it should be.

"Salvia knew."

Salvia had a slightly catchy reaction to my question just now: 'Haven't you been very far?'

I guess that reaction was because I knew this.

It's not like she didn't get far.

I couldn't make it.

This world must be as narrow as thoughts.

It's missing, it's lost, it's breaking.

It was a familiar road that I had come through, so there was just no anomaly, and if I step off there, I'm sure there's nothing there.

In fact, even the school route, which should have passed every day, seemed like this.

It was something I knew.

It was something I was prepared for.

However, I was not strong enough to feel anything at all if it were shown so plainly.

Lost memories smear the world black.

What happens to me when this black has covered all the world?

The sight in front of me was too much for a hunch.

……

But I knew it was something I was ready for.

So, one beat.

It was just a matter of time before I froze.

But in the meantime, there was someone who moved.

"It's okay, sir."

That's what I said, Salvia came out before me.

It was a light step.

It seemed like he hadn't even cared about the cold sight in front of him.

She gave in to the occasion.

A stretched woman's fingertips touched the lost ground.

"What..."

I was about to ask, and the phenomenon happened.

"The fog...?

There was fog coming from Salvia's body.

The fog spreads around the vortex, increasing its intensity.

In proportion to that, the signs of magic increase.

And when it spread somewhat, it now concentrated the other way around.

Salvia opens her mouth, poking her hand at the ground at its center.

"... the magic of the highest illusion deceives the world itself and rewrites reality"

White fog is collected at Salvia's disposal, touching the lost ground.

"That's the 'Misty Temporary Inn'. Let me show you that power."

The white of the gathered fog fills the black lost world.

At the same time, the fog is replaced by a view.

Lost things are rebuilt.

It's like... it's like a dream.

"I wonder if it's something like this."

When Salvia snapped and stood up, the road had been rebuilt.

Street trees line up in front of the square behind City Hall, along which the road stretches.

That's right. It was such a sight.

And that's when I realized that my memory was coming back.

"... why"

"Can you do this?"

Salvia put her hands behind her back and looked back at this one.

"No, sir. I was originally like this."

Speaking of which, were you saying that earlier?

When we met, we had been briefed on her nature.

The Magic of Making Impossible Wishes Real - That's the Other Realm of 'Misty Vault'.

For this may indeed have been Salvia's real share.

"Oh, my God, you look a little dressed up."

Salvia had a lit laugh.

"When I confess, I don't always make it this easy. This was a familiar place for my husband, so it was probably as easy as that. Unlike the real world, this is how you rebuild it once - if your husband remembers, the world will be fixed. I usually have to wait until I'm stable, but this time it doesn't seem like I need that either."

The confession suggested certain facts.

"... hey, have you ever done this before?

I asked Salvia about the possibility.

"Is that why you didn't show your face here?"

Take the missing one in its original form.

Let me play what's lost.

Eat what breaks.

But we need the right kind of magic to do that.

If she was fixing this world, she must have immediately consumed what magic power she should accumulate.

"For me..."

"No, sir."

Salvia blocked my words, which I was about to say.

The gaze of staring at me gently stitched my eyes.

"Don't say that"

The words spoken had a strange power that made them say no more.

Salvia smiled, making sure I was quiet.

"This is what I like and do."

Because the look on her face that I said so seemed so satisfying, I knew this was the sincerity of the word 'not a bystander' that I was just saying.

"Hey. Asalina."

"Therma"

Friendly face to face with Asalina, laughing to zero.

I couldn't say anything - it was then.

"Beautiful."

I heard a voice.

It was accompanied by the sound of freezing the spine, as if it had arrived from the abyss.

I was completely alarmed.

Because this is our world.

There couldn't have been anyone.

So, or maybe the shock was comparable to being beaten abruptly in the cheek.

"The purity of the bonds that think of each other is therefore the strength. I see. I can nod how far I've gotten."

A voice of an unfamiliar young man arrived.

It was something you couldn't possibly have heard in this world.

"Become"

Green eyes looked back at us in haste.

"Are you...?

A young man with burnt brown hair stood across the road repaired by Salvia.

You weren't even there earlier.

It was an anomaly.

"How come here, other people!?

I unleashed my lower back sword.

My family is the only one who can enter this world.

In the past the exception has been alone.

Travis - it was just a man turned into a grudge by 'psychotropic drugs'.

"What are you!

Poke the cutting edge of the sword.

Asarina exfoliates her fangs and gives her a voice of intimidation, and Salvia makes her mist drift like it doesn't matter what.

The young man in front of me is not how Travis looked like he was rotting and melting at that time.

But that's why, there was no way I could break my guard.

At the moment, he's stepping inside of us.

But the youth completely ignored such an attitude on this one.

"You've come this far. Without any help. In a short time, this is the second one."

The tone of conversation is calm.

In contrast to this tension, the youth was natural.

That's why somewhere isn't engaged.

The feeling is creepy.

More and more I became more alert, but the youth still did not take heed.

"Totally, amazingly"

Speaking unilaterally, the youth changed their expression for the first time.

"You're funny"

I laughed.

Because, of course, there can't be any friendly emotions.

"... you, what?

I remained oblivious, staring at the youth.

The young man pulled in a smile.

"I'll find out soon enough."

"What..."

"Now, not yet."

With that said, the figure of the young man scratched out.

I stood up, feeling like I was stuck in a fox.

I don't know why.

Only the faint creeps remained.

Then, I became much more unconscious.

"Time."

Salvia snapped and the world turned away.

That means leaving this world...

- The moment I woke up, I jumped my torso.

"Senior?"

I heard voices.

I looked up, and Kato, standing beside the bed, was staring at me.

"Are you okay, senior? Looks like they were doing it."

Apparently, he saw me in his sleep and approached him to see how I was doing.

Looking around, everyone who woke up one after the other looked worried about this one.

"What's wrong, sir?

When Lily, who slept with me, woke herself up, she put her outstretched hand on her forehead.

He had a slightly damp forehead with sweat and a pleasant low body temperature on his palms.

"Did you even have a bad dream?

……

I wish I could have said yes.

"Summer"

So Asalina rang out.

I sighed and opened my mouth.

"Salvia?"

"... I'm here"

Salvia emerges from the white mist.

When I looked at her, she nodded.

That doesn't mean that's a dream, apparently.

With a sigh, I told him.

"Guys, we need to talk"

We immediately shared information on this matter.

An intruder against my inner world - I should be wary because I have something to do with Travis, but I don't feel like they used 'psychotropic pills', and I'm not feeling sick.

In the first place, unlike then, I haven't even felt anything inside me.

Even though I can't say for sure, it was more convincing to consider it a temporary contact.

"Is there some kind of intervention by ability to interfere with the spirit... or something? I don't know if he's a cheetah-held transferee, a grace beloved, or if it's due to a relic of a brave man."

That was Kato's opinion, but I also agreed.

For once, it seemed like it was the inhabitants of different worlds who met each other on that occasion, but I don't know if that's true either.

However, when it comes to mental interference abilities, there are the first ones that come to mind.

In addition to being involved in the Fort Chile raid, he was also in contact with Pure Takaya - the Voice of Heaven.

"But in order for 'Heavenly Voices' to demonstrate their abilities, they should need contact with the subject. At least you were talking about the expedition, weren't you?

"Yes."

This was undertaken by Iino.

Okazaki-kun's testimony.

"Can you trust me?

When I asked, Iino nodded naturally.

"Okazaki-kun's ability is to handle other people's abilities."

The matters that were said to be farewell would be incredible.

Nevertheless, naturally, Iino, of course, has spoken to Shimazu about the unique ability of the expedition's two names, including the 'all-purpose vessel', to make contact with the expedition.

It was unshakeable that that was true.

"An all-powerful vessel."

Okazaki Mindfulness can handle the abilities of other psychics. So is Voice from Heaven.

So I can learn more about my abilities, it seems.

Nevertheless, that and whether or not Kazuo Okazaki is telling the truth is yet another story.

Well, believe it or not, I don't know if I was in contact with The Voice from Heaven during the colony, when I didn't know anything yet.

It's possible.

And if that was a "voice from heaven," it was possible to interpret what was spoken unilaterally as well.

- The purity of the bonds that think of each other is therefore the strength. I see. I can snort how far I've gotten.

Yesterday, I finally arrived in the Empire City.

This was also true in the sense of place, but it was a far and steep journey until we reached the goal of living peacefully with our families.

It is thanks to everyone in the family that 'we have made it this far' through many obstacles.

If that's what I meant, I could understand what you were saying.

- You've come this far. Without any help. In a short time, this is the second one.

This one is hard to get intent on.

But for example, if you're talking about the help of the metastatic, you don't know.

Since Iino and Shimazu-san's cooperation is not a hobby, you wouldn't know if "Heavenly Voice" was out of the expedition.

I don't know about the second eye, but someone that the suspicious man is looking out for may have come to the Imperial City.

- You're funny.

And this is the last dialogue.

The arm of "Heavenly Voice", which guided the Fort Chilean raid and turned Takaya pure, was felt somewhere delightful.

In that regard, I have something in common with that mysterious figure.

Regardless, it's possible that it wasn't, and worst of all, it was just arranging the right words... but at any rate, I've never been over to be on my guard.

After consulting with everyone, I also decided to report this matter to the Knights of the Diocese.

That said, it didn't do any harm.

Sometimes it happens while you're asleep, a situation you can't help but wonder if you've even had a bad dream.

I thought it would be five minutes to see if you could get it right, and as much as I wish I could draw your attention.

But besides my thoughts, the Knights reacted well.

"Rest assured. We'll take care of it right away."

Mr. Gordon, who came early in the morning, not only believed me, but moved me out instantly.

"We will give you the magic tools to interfere with mental interference. You will be able to block mental interference from the outside by installing it in your room."

"You have such a thing"

That's the world's largest religious institution. They have all sorts of magic tools together.

"As soon as the process is over, we'll bring it in in the evening. In addition, let's review the security system again."

This is what Mr. Gordon undertook for me.

Rather, as for safety, it could be said that it has become more solid.

"Well. Well, why don't we make it breakfast"

When Mr. Gordon returned, Mr. Kato suggested.

"I say you can't fight when you're hungry, and you can't help thinking about it all the time"

"Right."

It was an inexplicable event, but I can't help but care too much.

Because they didn't do anything, and they're unlikely to do something.

I have a proven track record of defeating that Travis and the legacy of the brave, the Spirit Pill.

If you try to do me harm in that world, you need more erosion power than that, but when it becomes that much of a threat, it becomes a level almost impossible for even the brave.

In fact, I didn't remember such a threat.

If that was the Voice from Heaven, you just have to worry about it so there's nothing sweet about it that would confuse you.

... Well, it would be uncomfortable if they put a little on it, but thanks to the Knights of the Cathedral, they are also able to combat it.

If they harassed you, that's what you think if you care.

We should feed our English as planned.

I decided that and had breakfast and decided to take my time.

Robbie looked a little tingly, so as I spent some time doing it behind my back, Kanahiko came along with Elener and the others.

"I heard you, Takahiro. Are you okay?"

"There's no problem."

"Oh well. Good for you."

Kanahiko cared for me first, and when she knew there was no problem, she smiled uncontrollably.

"So you're still alive talking about being free in the morning?

"That's okay, too. I heard Kanahiko was coming, so I left it empty."

"Okay. Then why don't you hang out for a minute?

"Fine, what?

When asked, Kanahiko tried to do it.

"Look. You said yesterday that if nothing happened, Mr. Lily or Rose would deal with you and think about moving your body."

Say it in a tone that invites you to play a bit to the front of the station.

"How about I do the other guy?
