"Residual thoughts?

Hmm.

After I dropped the three of them off, I was having a chat with Angora and Aarhus.

I was standing on the side of the road at first, but now I'm in trouble at the castle of Ahos, mainly because of Angora and me.

When Ahos led us to a place like the castle lobby lounge, he went somewhere because he had work to do.

And... for more than ten hours now, Angora and I have been talking.

I have nothing else to do.

I heard that spirits like to talk a lot, but I felt like I understood why.

"Could the man who was in Asura have indeed disappeared?

"I think it's gone. I felt that way."

"If the man with the sword wandering around in this direction is the man my second thought... either is a residual thought. Definitely."

He said, "Either you're here, or you're in Milok, or you're in Milok. Either it's the body, or it's a residual thought."

"That's the interpretation."

The sword man Ako and Winfield are searching for right now.

Well, I'm pretty sure. I'm sure it's him.

But can he still remain in the Spirit Realm after his death hundreds of years ago? That's why I decided to ask the Spirit King directly.

"By the way, what's the residual thought?

"Ha, ha, that's what it means."

Remaining thoughts.

... hah?

"I don't know."

"My second. When you're going out, would you want to put it back on if there were holes in your socks?

"Ah... I see."

Angora is good at it, even.

And I said, "Let's be Buddhists!" I want to cum in my favorite clothes. Shh, shh, shh.

"Sometimes the thoughts of spirits who died with such feelings take shape and remain."

"Hmm. But if you're not so strong, you can't stay here. That's not like socks."

I see.

In the case of 0k4NN, was there any spot on the clothes?

"How is the body different from the remnants?

"Something like that. It's the difference between big and not big."

"Like humans and monkeys?

Like a man and a caterpillar.

It's so different.

"Ha ha ha! That's right."

The Spirit King smelled like neither humans nor caterpillars had changed that much.

You're lying. You don't want to be used by caterpillars, do you?

I don't care if he's lying or not.

But I can empathize with you where you are conscious of acting like a great king. Because I'm number one in the world.

"Still, you're free, Spirit World."

I don't know how much I've said anymore.

It has become troublesome to talk gradually.

If so, it will be the only one.

"Play cards?"

Sure.

I think this may be the first time I've played with Angora.

"Spicy, medium, or sweet."

"Of course, it's very spicy."

... hey.

You're serious about this, me and you.

Fine.

Don't regret it.

"What are you doing?

"Speed. You know that, right?

Is that it? I like it, my second. "

Angora has seen me play several times. It is not strange that measures have been devised.

In addition, you can read my mind to some extent. This is the biggest one.

If you think normally and read your mind, you won't win.

That's why he's so confident.

But....

"Let me show you why this game is called speed."

You can taste the rare situation "I know I can't beat you" in PvP, you did it.

Tell me where it came from.

"Well, that's because the quickest wins."

"Really?

"I don't know. It's my interpretation."

I see.

Don't dig too deep. Tequito finds out.

Now, divide the cards into red and black and thank each other.

Now, let's begin the game.

"--It's boring! This game is boring!

After about fifteen fights, Angora finally got better.

At first, he was a big king who had plenty of room for incitement, but when he began to realize that his thoughts could not be won even if he could read them, he turned silent and gradually began to use out-of-disk tactics. He gradually became irritated and finally threw away his cards.

"...... nh......"

Some of the maids were looking at the cancer, probably because of the loud noise, or because they wanted to go to work in the lobby lounge. When I look at them, they leave in a hurry.

Oh, I see. The Great Spirit King is playing with his sword, so he was worried about something.

"Well, is there something wrong, Grand King...?

Look, after a while, Ahos arrived.

"I'm sorry, I overheated my cards..."

"It's Ah Hoss. Can you play cards?

Angora is interrupting my apology.

"Ha, ha, how much do you like it?"

Ok, ok! So you know how fast it is?

Yeah, well...

Ok, ok! Fuhahaha! "

Angora suddenly got in a mood and said that he was forced to sit in front of me.

"If I win, I'll turn you into a great spirit."

"Hmm!?

Ahos makes a very strange voice of surprise.

It's futile. The four spirits become the five.

Well, it doesn't.

"... please!

"Ah, please!"

Ahos is suddenly in serious mode.

No, no, relax, relax.

"Here we go!"

"--I 'm here!"

Ahus gave up.

Did you have fifty fights? It was a pretty bad one to give up, but finally.

Metcha sticks. How much I wanted to be a great spirit.

"My second. The Great Spirit is like immortality in human terms."

"Seriously. It sticks."

On the contrary, you gave up well.

"All right, then, Ah Hoss, I couldn't win, so let's vanish."

"Hmm!? It's my first time!

"Did you think you could just be a great spiritual?

"Yes, Your Majesty! Sorry, that's all!

"Fuhaha! It's the Great King Gag, don't take it seriously. Hahahaha!"

"Are you kidding me? Ah, ahahaha"

Wow... you look like a nasty senpai. Oh, I don't want to be.

― ― Master

Did you find it?

"!... yes. Ufufu"

All of a sudden, there's a "dark transition" behind my back.

Shadows must be managed to detect the pattern behind Dark Transformation. Specifically, don't stand around with a shadow stretching behind you. Always stand around with the light source on the back. This is an absolute condition.

In addition, you must see that the moment you turn to the slightest shadow behind you, the intensity of your shadow growing forward increases only for a moment. This is the only sign of the Dark Transformation. If you miss it, it's over.

Like someone who's always been conscious of these two things, someone who's repeated the Dark Wolf strategy for hundreds of hours.

This time, it happened that the light source was behind me and I saw my shadow on the table. That's why I noticed this shift and was able to deal with it without moving.

"Whoops, Lord. I'm really in love with you. Why is the Lord so Lord?"

He seemed very fond of the series of cool clothes that I dared not turn around and ask plain questions, and was visibly excited.

Master, I feel good because I have a good movement.

"Hey, Angora. I already found it. Want to go?"

"Mmm. Driftstone is my deputy, it's not a bad job."

I understand, but it seems to be coming.

"Anko, summon me and Angora over there."

"Yes, if it's for you."

Anko did not give Angora a glimpse and left again in "Dark Transformation".

"You're still the same, angry junior."

Angora groans and gazes at Aarhus.

"If the three of us come back while we're out, let them wait here."

Yes, I understand.

When I was stunned to meet people at my own castle... the scenery changed. Looks like you've been summoned to Dark Summon.

"Hey, Mr. Second. Sorry to keep you waiting. I just messed with the explanation."

Right in front of you, Winfield.

And beyond that - a man with long, rough black hair tied behind him, beardless, wild samurai-like looks stood.

Yeah, I know. I got it in one shot. This man...

"... holy f * ckin 'shit..."

--0k4NN.

Ha ha!

I see, Death Spirit.

I thought it was kind of spooky... but if you realize this kind of reunion that I thought would never happen again, I'd like to leave you alone to praise it as a great system.

But...

"I knew it....! Wazzz, wazzz, I've been looking for you! Now we call it the Zero Ring.

"Second. Second First Test."

"Haha! Very nice name. Looks like you!

There were so many things I wanted to tell you.

There were so many questions I wanted to ask.

And, hopefully, together...

"Mr. Zero Ring. Thank you for this."

"Oh! The Seventh Zero Ring!

"My blacksmith repaired it and it's ready for use."

"Yes, I'm glad! I'm relieved. How are you feeling?

"Excellent."

"That's great! I'm glad I made it. I'm glad I'm your fan."

... no, what is it?

I finally understand what Angora meant.

Stagnation.

Did he die hundreds of years ago? How long has he wandered the world, given the difference in time perception from the spirit world?

It's strange.

Oh, my God, I didn't mean to sound like I died yesterday.

Why doesn't he change anything?

Why does my chest hurt so much?

"Second, it's a corner, so let's have a fight. I've always wanted to fight you."

Oh, yeah.

Perhaps he's still stopped.

The hands on the clock have been stopped since his death.

A dead spirit is an infinitely stagnant existence. Being in eternal sleep, suffering eternally.

I wonder if the death spirit will never have the past or the future.

"True or False"

I nodded to my waist with the Seventh Zero Ring.

Mr. Zero Huan laughed and nodded with joy.

I can tell by confrontation. He is the main unit. Compared to the residual thoughts that existed in Milok, the man in front of him is too huge. Certainly, I feel more of a difference between caterpillars and humans.

His thoughts were so strong, that Angora was showing an emotional expression.

Yeah, I see. I learned. The reason why Ahus was so obsessed with the Great Spirit was because it was the future. When it comes to stagnation, something with a future is the power. For spirits, that must be evolution.

Now, what's the matter?

It's still more difficult than ever, this one.

How can I attract someone without a future...?

"... Chicken. Summon Milok."

"Sincerely, Lord."

Well, we need an audience for both.

I summoned the most wanted opponent.

"... ah, Lord. Please don't suddenly shout."

Suddenly the Dark Summon Monster struck me too.

The black hair that stretched to the waist was stuck behind me in the same way as Mr. Zero Ring. I saw the rough decorative style, the obvious carelessness. Even so, he's such a beautiful guy.

"I'm sorry. But I definitely want you to watch."

"Until...?

Although it is stagnant, Mr. Zero is Mr. Zero.

"I'm sure you'll learn. Not anymore."

Let's do it!
