Monster no Goshujin-sama

10. Seeking clues

Ten.

"Well."

Makoto Kato raised his voice shortly after he dropped Takahiro Mashima off and came back to his room.

Since Akel's mission, the Allied Knights, the remnants of the Dragon Abyss, Kanahiko Tachigi and Shimazu Knights have not come to the Imperial Capital, the only people in the room besides Rose and Gabella are Yuna Iino.

The first thing I reacted to was Rose.

"What's wrong, genuine vegetables"

She was just telling me to attach a magic tool bag to Gabella's hips and be careful not to break it.

Kato Mane replies to her as she raises her waist and turns her gaze of doubt.

"I thought it was time to move"

"Move...?

Rose leaned her neck in surprise.

"Didn't we talk about staying together until your husbands returned?"

"Of course, it doesn't change there"

Although we had decided that the danger was unlikely to loom upon us in this situation, we had no intention of daring to create a gap.

"We all want to move. Because we should be able to do more than just keep our seniors waiting. I just need to do you a favor so you can follow me."

"I see. I don't mind."

"... Yep, me too. An escort."

It was Yuna Iino who followed Rose and answered.

She pushed her leg injury and continued to escort her.

I could also take it as a sign of my serious personality, but apart from that, I also felt like a sense of impatience that I had to do something to her right now.

Most importantly, the offer itself is appreciated.

Even if he loses his greatest weapon, his mobility, Yuna Iino's combat ability still maintains Warrior equivalence.

The Explorer's White Soldier Battle was not Dade's strongest.

"Yeah, I don't mind a concubine."

The last Gabella to agree made her mouth grin hazy.

"So, what's Lord Kato up to again?"

"That people don't listen well. How do you see me?"

Answer the question while it becomes an unexpected eye.

"I'm going to visit Harrison's. I wanted to ask you something."

"Harrison......?

The three people I was listening to all turned out surprised.

"You got an unexpected name. But isn't the status quo a visit apology?

Rose tilted her neck tightly.

Only in the emergency of a world survival crisis, until earlier, he had come out on the table to direct the preparation of a tracking unit, but if he was meant to be, he was dying.

If you're told it shouldn't be in a state where you can see him or something, you're right...

"Why should I pay attention to Harrison's health?

That said, Kato Makoto made me smile.

She smiled so beautifully that Gabella accidentally attracted her expression.

"That said, of course, it doesn't mean I'm going to visit you for nothing. I want to ask you something. It's been a little while since the seniors left, and they should have roughly finished giving instructions to the Knights. I'll leave the rest to Mr. Gordon, and he'll be resting just now. If you apologize for the visit, you won't be disturbed, so it might be more convenient."

"Oh, oh. Good. It's not just harassment."

"No, I'm not. I just don't feel the need to be attentive. Well, I don't deny that you're angry."

I breathed so much to exhale the heat of emotion that lingered in our house.

Seeing her like that, Rose was spilling a favorable grin.

Because my esteemed best friend fully understood that she was surprisingly affectionate from those who feared her.

Most importantly, a girl named Kato Makoto also has a measure that only separates emotion from reason if necessary.

That's why I kept my emotions deep and was also trying to visit Harrison if I needed to.

"If genuine vegetables are like that, it must be necessary. Shall we move now?"

Good hurries.

Rose urged so, but Garbera frowned tingly there.

Red eyes are pointed at the door.

I was a visitor.

What showed up was an unexpected face.

"Aoi?

"... Hello, Vegetables"

With his eyebrow butt lowered at first sight, Explorer's "Rigid-Arm White Snow" hand washing sunflower stepped into the room.

There was no companion to her, who came into the room as far as she could with an unreliable foothold.

Apparently she came to visit herself, Kato Makoto guessed from the trick.

This was a development that I did not envisage.

I wonder if it's more so now.

I met your hand washing sunflower in front of you during a conversation with the expedition.

So she took up and condemned the presence of the woman around Takahiro Mashima and opposed him joining the expedition.

Most of all, it wasn't for harassment, it was just an act of thinking of myself as a friend.

Most importantly, that was nowhere to be desired at all, so to protect the position of the thinker, the almost insulating letter was to adopt the same attitude of rejection.

While I was unrelenting, I had a consciousness, and that side was something I had never shown when I was in the original world.

Your hand washing sunflower was in great shock to see.

So it was unexpected.

"Oh, um... come and apologize..."

Besides, she cut it out.

The expression had a colour of fright.

It was a fear that my friends would hate me.

No matter how strong the flesh gets, it doesn't matter all this.

It was not your hand washing sunflowers as a brave man who came here, but a sign of the courage she shook as one girl.

Even if that behavior was badly off.

"Makoto doesn't think much about Senior Mashima, does he? Yet I have done a great deal to get ahead of myself..."

……

"Wow, because I, I heard that Makoto was involved in something, and we stayed in a fight. I'm so sorry. He wondered why I did that. But I'm glad you're okay."

The words to be followed and told were still off.

But at least it was sincere.

Instead, she originally acted tomorrow because she was seriously worried.

And it was also very natural, when it came to the feeling of the original world, about how it led to such action.

The thing that slipped away - Kato Makoto knew it was him who changed.

So I hesitated to push the girl in front of me back cold.

There, I couldn't deny that my feelings for my former friend worked.

……

When I realized, my gaze was naturally directed elsewhere.

Let's go further past Yuna Iino with her stuck pale face.

Rose noticed her gaze as she watched over Yuki.

She snorted one when she laughed modestly with a soft look that she didn't think was a crop.

What I didn't say when I put it in my mouth was that I'd leave this place to myself.

My mouth is loose.

I got courage from my best friend and turned to my former friend again.

"Sorry, Vegetables. Me..."

"No, that's okay, Aoi."

I shook my head to the side.

"You don't have to apologize to me for saying something more appropriate than that"

"Er...?

"'Cause the words were lies then"

Your hand wash sunflower circled your eyes.

"... to?

"I like Senior Mashima."

Declare clearly to her that understanding does not follow.

I thought we should talk.

Thoughts about the boy, about who he is now.

"Listen, Aoi. There's a big difference in perception between us. Aoi won't notice."

Your hand washing sunflower behavior was definitely off.

But that's because she didn't know.

So first, I had to make things right there.

Even if that's zeroing our relationship with each other.

"For Aoi, who has made the transition with everyone at school and has lived in it ever since, I think this is something that is on the extension of her high school life. But not for me. Because of the collapse of the colony, everything about me was once, zero."

"Vegetables......"

"So sorry. For me, what happened in the original world is the past."

After a little while, your hand wash sunflower bit your lips to see if you understood what they said.

"About the past... about me too?

"Yes."

This is how we should have made the situation clear from the start.

Failure to do so was a misjudgment of the Kato Vegetables and also a manifestation of weakness.

Nevertheless, this has brought the relationship between the two to zero.

So, it's all over.

... There was no such thing.

"In time, Aoi and I would love to get along again. It's not a bad story."

Being about the past doesn't mean I don't care and equals.

In fact, I made a mistake that didn't even look like this because the girl in front of me was a dear friend to Kato Makoto.

"... Huh? Huh? Vegetables, what does that mean?

"Nor will it mean you shouldn't get along with your old friends again. I am under seniors, and Aoi is on an expedition. Of course, after Aoi admitted me right now, if you want to get along."

I think he's a friend I've seen poorly within a year, so it's gonna be tough.

For example, if you meet a friend ten years ago and you are in a place where the environment and circumstances are different from everything else, even the values change.

Still, you can warm up your old friends, and you should be able to take care of your friendship.

"What do you think"

That's what I said, I offered my hand.

Your hand wash didn't seem to understand the situation well.

However, he only found out that he was being reached out, and he asked me in a confused manner.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Honey, I'm retarded. Are we still friends?

"No."

I shook my head to the side.

"It means we'll be friends again. With me now, if that's what you want."

Perhaps understanding has finally caught up with what they told me to chew and include.

The light came back on the expression of your hand washing sunflower.

She certainly wasn't very smart, but she wasn't an irresistible fool.

It fails, it turns empty, and it annoys me.

But I could honestly apologize, reflect, and think about what I was properly told.

That's why she was so close to Kato Mandarin.

"... oh. Well. I kind of figured it out."

Her voice, puffy and crunchy, had a convincing color.

"Vegetables, you've had a lot since then. That's what I meant when I said I got zero... but Vegetables got here. With Senior Mashima. In the meantime, I had something important. Don't admit it. You couldn't have been my friend."

From the beginning, I guess I should have done this.

I took the frightening hand washing sunflower, and when I found out I couldn't shake it off, I made sure to hold on with both hands.

"... Vegetables. I'm sorry."

It gives me a nagging and pitiful smile.

That was a distracted look.

"I'm sorry."

Kato's genuine vegetables also returned a natural smile.

Like I was doing that in those nostalgic days.

The girls smiled at each other, just like they used to, even if they were in different positions.

Rose and Gabella watched side by side the sight of something warm flowing.

"I don't know what to do with this."

"Yes."

Over the severance, Rose blessed her best friend's girl with a delightful face from the bottom of her heart to reclaim what was once important.

She knew this would happen.

Because I knew a girl named Kato Mandarin better than anyone else.

So I went on like this.

"All you have to do is put on a bullet."

"... now what?

Gabella asked back, it was then.

"Ah."

Kato Makoto gave him a voice like he remembered something.

"To?"

I inadvertently hold the hand of your hand washing sunflower, which makes me wonder what it is, with both hands.

Gyu.

No, is Shishi better suited to the impression?

That's a fortitude, as if not letting them get away with it.

"I forgot to say one thing"

The beautiful smile had changed its meaning from earlier.

"To?"

"You don't have to apologize to me, but apologize properly to Senior Mashima, do you?

That's it, this is this.

Gabella screams hissing as she watches beside her.

I have to put a bullet on what I've done.

Girls are of that nature, even more so when it comes to thought-provoking boys.

Your hand wash sunflower faded.

"Awesome angry one. This - huh!?

The scream of a frightened girl shook the room.

Immediately after reconciling with your hand washing sunflower, Kato Genuine moved out.

"Huh? Vegetables, are you going to Mr. Harrison's? Glad to have an escort on the road? Yeah, I'm coming too. I'll take care of the escort."

So there was one more companion.

A very comforting escort.

Now "Hao Arm White Snow" is one of the best fighter abilities in the expedition.

"Hmm. Senior Yona's hurt. I'll probably do my best!

"... Yep. Yeah, I'm counting on you."

In contrast, Yona Iino, who hammers, is a little unwell.

"I don't know what you did, Senior Yuna"

"No. I didn't think you could do anything earlier."

"You don't have to worry about that. That was my problem."

"It's our problem, Aoi. Escort, I'm counting on you."

When Kato Makoto told her, her hand washing sunflower laughed happily.

"Don't worry. Even if Senior Shinto Jingu is dealing with him, he's going to make you a guitar."

Shijiya Jingu headed to the other world, so he can't be here, but if he's motivated, he won't even pinch his mouth.

I left the room.

"Yes!? Makoto, did you tell Senior Mashima? Huh? Really? So, but Mr. Rose and Mr. Gabella seem to get along."

"My concubine doesn't know what she cares about."

"In other words, I've always supported Mr. Rose's love."

"I was rooting for the love of vegetables."

"Huh? Huh? What's this all about?

Because of your aversion to the Lord, the boy, your hand washing sunflower has never had much contact with his family before, but he exchanged words on this road.

I guess there was a change of heart.

"Speaking of which, Ishida-kun isn't here, is he? It's unusual. I'm usually with Aoi."

"Oh. Because if you're a philosopher, you went over to 'The Foundations of the World'. Even that one has two names: 'Perseverance'. I didn't go because of you."

"I'll just say about me and my predecessors, what about you?"

"With a philosopher? Ha. No. He and I are like sisters and brothers. As your sister, I need to take care of you."

"Really?... and poor Ishida-kun."

"Hmm? What do you mean?

Move to Harrison's room while deepening interaction with others.

"Speaking of which, Vegetables. Before I left the room earlier, I asked a knight to tell Mr. Harrison, 'I'm going now'. That's the last thing he was adding, 'If you can't, I'll bust it'?

"Insurance in case... it's like a little joke. Never mind."

Not because that joke made sense, but permission was already out.

When we arrived in the room, the guard knight paved the way.

"Well, come on!

Your hand washing sunflower, which has not been heard about the truth of the world, cannot participate in the discussion.

I also told him I could go home because it was bad, but he insisted he wait in front of the door because he was an escort.

Fusu stood in the mood in front of the door and was similarly pointed at a strange gaze by the knight of guards guarding him in front of the door, but I guess it's okay because we seem satisfied.

Most importantly, such loose air was not until I entered the room.

Hazel's eyes looked at the girls she had visited.

"... what's a story?"

Harrison had his bandaged body lying in bed.

He looked even more pale because of his impossibility for Operation Jingushi Tracking.

My eyes are falling and even something close to the dead minister is floating around.

Still, I guess it was due to a sense of duty that I responded to the interview in this way.

"Of course, we're talking about the cornerstone of the world."

The air was heavy, but Kato Mandarin was not frightened.

"I want to ask you something. You can answer that."

"If that's what threatens the world, then no no"

"Then go straight in."

It's not like talking to the public.

I got right to the point.

"What I want to ask is why the 'cornerstone of the world' storage was cracked. Do you have any idea"

"... was that it again"

Harrison said in a sigh.

At the time you said you wanted to talk to me, to some extent, I would have expected the content.

"I was wondering there too"

"Which means, at least, you weren't in the kind of situation you'd be known for."

"Whatever."

Harrison affirmed. It means I'm sure.

"Only I and Dear Gert knew the truth about the 'cornerstone of the world'. Naturally, so is its storage."

"What about the Knights of Protection?

"All they know is that the 'cornerstones of the world' have the power to create different worlds. I haven't even let them know where to store it. Nor can I know its existence on my own. The door of the other world only opens the way to the other world when it acts as the 'cornerstone of the world'. If you touch it without knowing anything, there's no such thing as a philosophy. It's just a door to a room."

"So it was strictly secret."

"That's right. So it's also inexplicable to me. I don't know why the information in that place was leaked..."

To Harrison, who groaned, Kato Genuine returned it briefly.

"Is it possible that the information was not leaked"

"... what?

"It would be easier to think that you've been spotted on a different route than you've been told a secret that no one can know,"

Kato Makoto leaned his neck at Harrison, who looked surprised by the way it was said.

"Now, Senior Mashima was sensible, wasn't he? Of course, that's only if you're a contractor for a different kind of creator, the" Misty Temporary Inn "Salvia."

"'The Misty Vault' and that there was an equivalent?

"I'm not saying that. Because Mr Salvia is truly exceptional. I just... I need to know if I can't get to the truth about the world in another way."

The tone in which that was said was sincere everywhere.

"Shichiya Jingu is being followed by Senior Mashima along with the expedition. I'm sure that guy will put it away. Therefore, we put Shijiya Shimiya Shimiya into existence… otherwise the fundamental problem will not be solved."

"... to protect the world, or"

Harrison meditated.

"Are there really any such beings in the knowledge of the Cathedral Church"

"... at least not in my knowledge"

After much thought, Harrison opened his eyes.

But maybe not, Master Gert.

"Are you the Great Cleric Gert?

"Oh. It was Master Gert who told me the truth about the world. I have taught only the parts necessary for my own duties. If you were Master Gert, you might have known more than that."

"... but"

The high priest Gert is dead.

That knowledge has been lost.

"No."

He read the part he didn't say, Harrison shook his neck sideways against expectations.

"It hasn't been lost yet. Just in case, Master Gert was left with that knowledge."

Do you still have the materials?

"Whatever. We must avoid accidents where no one knows the truth about the world."

Harrison nodded.

"In the first place, even the Cathedral Church did not know the truth about the world until the Great Breakdown due to the emergence of the elves, because the knowledge that was grasped by the first brave men was lost on the way to being inherited. Perhaps at dawn, when the Cathedral Church did not yet have power, there were deadly troubles, such as monster raids, which scattered knowledge. The current knowledge of the Cathedral Church about the truth of the world has finally been reconstructed in the last eight hundred years or so. You can't just step on the same line."

"If so, so is Gert?

"Oh. I was left with something in my life. There must be a vault in Lord Gert's mansion containing material about the truth of the world. I keep the key. The vault has been bequeathed by the Cugeler clan for generations and is a mechanism that will not open unless Master Gert dies. There's a chance there's some kind of clue left."

The decision was quick.

"Let's head to Master Gert's mansion. I interact with the Cugelers. When this happens, it should be included. Show me your will and you won't have a problem."

"Are you going yourself?"

"Whatever."

Even with his bloody face, he was determined to look at it.

"Is it something that makes Master Gert's sacrifice go to waste? Never."
