Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru
Episode 123: Shards
"Mr. Mok, Mr. Iva...!
Hurry up to the two of you, but Iva's body is shattered and scattered, and Moku's body burns more and more.
There was nothing more I could do.
"Damn... Damn...!
Keep it up... did I just say that...!
Why... why...!
"Thanks..."
Thank you, Lord.
"What...?
That's when the two bodies start to sparkle, surrounded by pale light.
This...?
"Mr. Mok...... Mr. Iva......?
"Yes... I'm Mok..."
"I'm Iva... that's the name you gave me"
"Hey, why... my voice...!
"Hehe... we don't even know that... I'm sure you'll make us..."
"I guess it's because you treated me like a person... I'm glad I did."
"Both of you..."
"You're really sweet...... it's very important"
"So we gave our lives too... well, I got it from you... but I used it for you. No regrets."
"Ugh..."
"We got everything but life from you... could we give it back a little?"
"Oh... if it weren't for the two of you, I would..."
"Good... though it was a short time..."
"It was fun..."
"Me too... it was fun..."
"Ah... already..."
We have to go.
I wipe my tears.
"Oh... well..."
"See you later... Lord."
"Yes... I'm sure again..."
"Oh...... see you later. Mr. Mok...... Mr. Iva......"
The light surrounding the area rose to the sky, and I felt two people gone.
The light must be two souls now......
Even Excalibur does not resurrect the dead.
Because the shape goes back, but not the soul.
I picked up pieces of crushed Iva and pieces of burnt leftover Moku one at a time, and after a brief look... it softened in my pocket.
――――――――――――――――――――――
"Now, kid... this way"
A week of promises had passed, and Sieg was in the mountains to pick up Lord.
His cause-and-effect magic can mean not only cutting off the cause and effect, but also connecting the cause and effect.
Sieg had already connected Lord to his cause and effect in case he came to pick him up.
That gives Sieg a rough idea where he is now.
But at that time, his leg, which was moving without precipitation, stopped inadvertently.
"... you smell burnt"
Sieg becomes more alert to the smell he doesn't normally feel.
He knew that the monsters that use flames around here were about dragons.
I had a bad feeling Sieg would walk faster.
Regardless, he knew Lord wouldn't die for the most part and left him in the mountains.
Something different from Lord's life and death from the unpleasant feeling he thus felt.
Something of that vague is undoubtedly drifting from the direction where the load is.
"No... this is..."
Something about it grew bigger and bigger.
And Sieg realizes.
That's not in the direction where the load is, it's coming from the connected load itself.
That's when I finally caught the back of the road from between the trees.
And... the dragon that was behind it gets up, too.
"Shit......!
Sieg stops at that moment he tries to rush out, an awesome chill he's never felt before.
That's not from a dragon, but a deep, dark negative emotion I feel from a causally connected load.
"... why"
Dragon movement stops in that low voice.
Sieg couldn't move again either.
"Grr...... Gwow!
Still, the dragon rang as hard as it could.
I guess my pride as a dragon made me do that.
"Humanistic looks great".
But that's all he could have done.
"Will you be quiet?"
Lord looked back and gently touched the dragon.
"Now... I just dropped off my people"
As soon as I finished saying that, the dragon's body swelled up at once and burst as if it were going to explode from the inside.
Blood splashes around and his body stains red.
It was Lord watching as he stood, but the next moment he collapsed to the ground.
"Kid......!
As Zeke rushed over to his side and held up the Lord, he was losing his mind and resting quietly.
……
Sieg swallows everything and walks out with a blood-coated load.
A tremendous negative emotion that was within the Lord.
Only the connected Zeke noticed the darkness.
――――――――――――――――――――――
"Mmm..."
"Dear Lord......!
"Oops... Les, Levi...?
I can hug Levi all the time.
Is this... are you back?
Are you awake, kid?
"Mr. Sieg... what the hell am I...?
"Oh, when I picked him up, he was falling in the mountains. The dragon was down nearby, so you ran out of power, didn't you? Well, he's alive, so no problem."
Was I down? Dragon?
Hmmm...... I have no memory at all......
"Anyway, I'm glad Lord is safe..."
"I don't know... sorry to bother you"
Shake it for a week... I knew Levi was here...
"Well, I can't do that... let's just make it dinner. I cooked meat, and your daughter made me some soup."
When I went outside following Mr. Sieg, the area was already dark.
Hmm... I have a thin memory...
"Sure, I... in the morning..."
"Oh, it was this morning that I picked you up. I've been asleep. Look, your gear."
"Wow...! Oh, thank you."
I wore clothes to shake for a week.
Something... so uncomfortable...
The garden had venison meat broiled in incendiary flames and a delicious looking soup that looked like it had been caught on fire standing hot air from an iron pan.
The three of us surround the burning fire and drink the meat cheeky soup.
Oh...... Levi's food is delicious after all......
"How was your week?
"Right...... I've had a lot of new discoveries"
"Ho...... for example?
"It's mostly about the magic of life... but I can feel life nearby, or I can communicate with the existence that gave me life... Ah!
I stick my hand in my pocket and take out the stone shards and the wood shards.
That's right. The three of us took down the dragon... Mr. Mok and Mr. Iva... no... I can't remember afterwards.
"What the hell?
"Yeah... actually..."
I told the two of them about the past week.
How you spent it, what you were thinking, and what you got.
"So these two are trying to protect me... at least I thought they were just shards."
"I see..."
"I really wanted to go home with you... thanks to both of you I..."
That's when Levi touches Mr. Mok and Mr. Iva's shards.
"Dear Moku, Iva...... thank you Lord. I really wanted to see you..."
"Levi...... thanks. I'm sure you two are taking a leap."
"Yeah, I'm sure."
Oh, speaking of which...
"Um, why did Mr. Sieg put me in the mountains?
Mr. Sieg drinks up the liquor in the bottle.
After one exhale, he shifted his gaze to me.
"Oh... once you're naked, think you should stare back at yourself. Old lads don't have to know, and now you're blessed. No, I was too blessed. That's why I saved you the extra money. Well, let's see what we got.
"Sure...... right. But we still don't know what it means to be naked, do we?
"Ha! I don't know... it's Nori."
"Is it Nori...... ha"
"Well, I'll do it for real tomorrow, so you're going to do it. Put your armor on... heh heh heh."
Apparently starting tomorrow is the real deal.
I pocketed Mr. Mok and Mr. Iva, and my memories with them were also in my chest.
