Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"Fake...... isn't it hot to wear a hood or something?

"Ahhh no... but I have a broken knob. Something to hide for once. Yabe. Okay, I'm gonna rip you apart for now. Damn... the magic of MM didn't work. It's the first time..."

"I wonder if you're really in this town..."

"I don't know... Anna said it too, but it's just this way. Mum" saw "it all the way over this town. Maybe it's in the mountains around us. Hey. Well, let's just start by asking if there's incompetence. Oh, okay, you guys... don't make a scene. I've told you many times, use magic..."

"I know!

"I know!

"... I resent you, Admiral. Well, no... let me know with the Demon Stone if you find out what it is. Okay, dissolve."

Fake turns his back with his hands flickering and starts walking carelessly.

Eventually he lost sight of the crowd.

"Bye, Cheryl! See you later!

"Oh, yeah!

Liesel smiles and waves at me, running with her hands patting.

"Okay, I got to go, too"

Almost a month after I became the tenth man of Titanomachia.

Having been able to use quite a bit of magic, I was about to start my first assignment here in Focken.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"Dear Cross... Fake, Resell and Cheryl are here"

The three of us were called by Anna and came to Mr. Cross's room.

Still dim... you're not used to this room alone...

'I'm sorry for calling all of a sudden. By the way, Cheryl, are you used to living here yet?

'Ah, yes! Thanks to......'

Mr. Cross smiled slightly and nodded, leaving his body behind the back of the chair and arming him.

'Fine. Well, there's nothing else I've called... I'll give you guys a mission'

Mandate...!

Finally, this is the time...

'Aye. Now what?

"At present, things are carried well in the big picture. but I'm still short on manpower. The last filling has to be done with our hands."

Over the past month I have been asked more or less what Titanomachia is trying to do.

Even so, they haven't even heard the details, and that seems to be the same for Liesel.

This is to avoid leaking information in case.

Assuming they get caught, they'll find out everything if they use magic that reads people's thoughts.

So only a limited number of people knew what really mattered.

'I mean... new incompetence?

'That's right. The star is already attached. Anna felt it, Mum looked at it, but she had no idea.

"Ah? What the hell......"

"All I can" feel "is more or less the position… Usually from there Mum" sees "the details, but the moment I tried to focus on that person from a perspective over its vicinity, something played the magic of Mum"

'Seriously... I don't know...'

'Oh... I've never seen anything like this before. It's still unknown, but maybe it has those powers.'

That kind of power?

What the hell......

"But you can't use magic yet, can you? So, what's the power?

Nanni on......!

Resell only has a "nya" at the end of the basic phrase, but sometimes this happens.

Ya... I think I'm laughing...

"Dear Cross, Liesel says," What power is that? "

"Nha!?

"... I know that much"

"'Buffoo!

"Hey, what are you laughing at, fake! Che, even Cheryl......!

"Oh, I'm sorry, Liesel... kufu..."

"Knock it off... uh, I'm hungry... now that I'm not laughing, it's about Jade."

"Nah, nah, nah, nah!

"'Buffoo!

I turned my face bright red and angry resell was adorable.

Anna quietly opens her mouth when the apology ground settles on her several times.

'Heh heh... excuse me, Master Cross. Then go on.'

At that time, I accidentally had eyes with Anna.

Could it be... to ease my nervousness?

Thank you Anna......

'... boy. Now let's answer Liesel's question. Probably not magic, the "something" that the person was born with. People have special talents, just as fakes are born with a lot of magic. I don't know what that is, but I contact and solicit anyway... that's the task'

"Copy that. So, where is it?

"Focken, Nieberg's second city, and somewhere nearby... that's all I could tell."

'Okay. Let's go. "

"Oh. Fake, Liesel, Cheryl...... have some martial arts"

"I'll take care of it!

'but I'll do my best!

――――――――――――――――――――――

"I said..."

This town is bigger than the king's capital, Armenia.

This is the second city...... Nieberg is amazing.

I went into shops, cafeterias and coffee shops earlier to talk to them, but nobody seems to know there's incompetence in this town.

I thought you were out there.

If I were you, I wouldn't be sure I could live.

I'm sure he'll run away like he did then...

"Ah... well... not the people here, but the ones who are gone... you just have to look for the kids too"

Instead of "Is there incompetence in this town," you can ask "Is there a child missing from this town?"

It's easier to hear than to ask if there's any incompetence... okay, let's do that.

Well, the problem is, I don't know how old the person is.

If you tell me you're looking for someone who's gone, you might help me, but I can't answer when they ask me if I'm gone.

... I'm kind of starting to feel like I can find it.

But even I was found living in the mountains, and it's never impossible.

Anyway, let's find it. I have to do what I can.

"Mmm..."

As I was walking down the boulevard thinking about it, I had eyes in a dark alley.

I don't know why, but I think you should go.

"You've always had this kind of idea..."

I don't really want to go in there... but if incompetence is still in town, he's more than likely in a place like this.

I hesitated a little, but I never set foot in the alley.

It's dark even though it's daytime...... I feel bad.

The alley was quite long, and even after the building that faced the boulevard, another building was built behind it.

"I wonder how far it goes..."

It's like a private house around, but dirty anyway.

The road was littered with garbage, and several people slept there.

Slam Street in the middle of town... looks like the only thing beautiful is the surface.

"It's like... it's like this world"

I just didn't know.

I still don't know most people.

Because we're all desperate for our own lives, regardless of what this world is crazy about.

Even I would have been if this hadn't happened.

I think maybe we got married normally, had kids normally, and lived normally.

If that had happened, you wouldn't have believed me if they'd told me that the world was crazy, because it's none of my business...

But I've become a party to the world.

You can't forgive them.

This ridiculous system has to be destroyed.

Like me...... and there are already a lot of tragedies like Lisel.

We'll finish it.

And lead us to a normal world...... whatever.

"Hmm? The sign..."

After a while, I found a store that I thought was a bar.

My guess is "in."

"Phew... All right..."

I made up my mind again and opened the door.
