Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru
Episode 160: Dirt
"Passing through... no!?
"Uh-oh!?
There was a tremendous wind rolling inside the instant store, and everyone but me was being slammed against walls and ceilings.
Hey, what is this... this kid's magic...!?
"Yikes......!?
I was stunned by the sight, but suddenly something wraps my body around me and takes me straight out.
Someone in a hood took me for being freed when I went out and was about to fall.
"Ah, you... they..."
"Talk later. Asuna, please, the child."
"Yeah! Tia, you can't be alarmed!
"I know!
No... don't worry about something...
My head is blurry...... I do......
"Oh my goodness........................................................."
So my consciousness broke off.
――――――――――――――――――――――
"Hey! Hey......!
"Shh... Shh..."
"Hey, I fell asleep...?
"Maybe that's the kind of magic you did...... whatever!
This kid said, "Help me."
I don't know the situation but I believe it......!
"I don't know... hey! Damn it! You did it, you fucking kid!
"Don't just... I've had three of you put together. Wow...!
I can hold this kid and fly...... but I can't because then I'm gonna leave Asna.
They're still in the store... and most of them have passed out.
Four of them stood up.
All right! Let's get this over with and get the hell out of here!
"Knock it off! Vagina!!
I slam the wind gathered in my hands into the store.
That's it......!
"Colourful!
"Ugh......!?
Suddenly a stone wall appears in front of me, blocking my sight.
My windy stone walls couldn't resist the impact and smashed to pieces, but I couldn't blow them away because they killed the power.
"Yes, stone magic!?
"Whoa!
The moment the wall disappeared, a mass of flame was flying through my eyes.
I immediately create a barrier of wind to blow up the flames coming towards me and again gather the wind flat in my hands.
"This......!
"Paralyzed!
"Hyah!"
Thunder and water loom upon me as I tried to release the wind.
Yabba... it's out of control...!
"Guh!
"Asnah......!
Asuna was popping out to shelter me, poking her hands out and receiving thunder and water.
Asuna's skills are magic resistant... but they can't be completely erased...!
"Ugh......!
"Become!? With bare hands!?
"... ooh!
Work out your magic all at once and gather more wind than ever before.
No more... add or subtract!
"Nah............!?
"Hey, what is this amount of magic!?
Unleash the wind you have gathered... with all your might...!
"Summarize them all...... blow them up Yikes!!
"Wall... duh!?
"Hebbah!?
"Yikes!"
"Damn......!
My unleashed storm blew out the four of them, slamming them hard against the walls and ceilings, and they stopped moving as they fell.
"Phew...... ah! Asna, are you okay!?
"Come on... I don't know... get away with it! We might still have company!
"Ugh, yeah! Yikes!"
We wrapped the sleeping girl in the wind and we fled the scene.
That's when Asuna's hand gets into her eyes.
The hand was bright red and swollen.
"Asuna, my hand......!
"Hey, it just hurts a little! Never mind!
"Sorry... on my behalf..."
"Come on, come on, come on!
I hurt Asna......
Damn... I knew it was in town...
My magic is not "creating" but "manipulating" power.
So, not without a subject nearby to manipulate.
Depending on the location...... there was nothing in town that could only be manipulated by the wind.
Because of this, it is only subject to what exists naturally, and what is created by magic cannot be manipulated.
So far you can manipulate it with fire, water, earth, wind, thunder and snow?
If I manipulate the clouds, I can give out thunder and snow, but it takes a lot of time to do that.
But when I ran off, the weather was easy to manipulate...
You can't do this.
I need to be stronger... I can be stronger!
"Tia, over here!
"Ugh!
We ran desperately and managed to reach the boulevard.
It stands out when it stays like this, so I carry a girl on my back that was floating in the wind.
"Gu......"
Oh, my goodness...
"Tia, I can walk...?
"Well, it's okay... there's no sin on this kid..."
I'm just weak......
"Ha... well, let's go"
We walk to the crowd as discreetly as possible.
Still... what was this kid doing out there?
――――――――――――――――――――――
"Mmm..."
That... me... what...
"... ah!
"Wow!?
"Yikes!?
"What!?
Hey, what!?
These kids...?
"Uh, surprised... you woke up"
The girl with the golden hair spoke to me like that.
I wonder who...... this is the first child I've seen.
"I thought my heart would pop out...... are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?
Now that's what the girl with chestnut hair says.
That... what the... I...
"Ah!"
"Wow!? Hey, what!?
"Oh, I'm sorry... I finally remember everything now..."
My head became clear step by step.
The bar that was at the end of the alley...... the story of the incompetent girl I heard there.
His name is Karen.
He was gone two years ago.
So I tried to go home. Those guys...
"Oh well... you guys helped me, didn't you? Thank you so much."
It's nice to find information about incompetence, but it would have been bad without these kids.
Are you in luck or bad luck...... it has been that way for a long time......
"I'm glad you're okay. 'Cause I just happened to hear it."
"I heard...?
"Hmm... with my magic. Well, rather than that, I'm called Tia. This is Asna. We're both eighteen."
"Nice to meet you. And you?"
"Oh, I... Cheryl... I'm eighteen too"
"Really!? What a coincidence! Cheryl, nice to meet you!"
"Ugh, yeah... nice to meet you, Tia, Asna"
Uh, I don't know if it was a good idea to say my name... maybe I should have used a pseudonym.
Well, but come on... I'm a benefactor of my life.
"Um, so this is...?
I feel like I saw it... it's like a lodging house...
"It's Focken's inn. Cheryl, I was asleep, so I brought him in just like that. I'm pretty far from that place, so maybe I'll be fine... but if I'm looking for it, it's a hassle."
"Oh, I'm sorry I got involved..."
It's pitiful to remember.
I can't believe they set me up with those guys...
"Well, fine, fine. So, what was Cheryl doing out there?
The truth is... I can't tell you.
"Uh... lost my way..."
"Oh. What are you doing here in Focken?
"Hmm... tourism. I was walking around town."
"Did you come alone? No way...... runaway?
"Oh, no, no! We have company here... ah"
Shit.
The demon stone was taken.
What should I do... right now...
"What's going on?
"Oh, no... what time is it..."
"Um, it's eleven o'clock at night. I woke you up a few times, Cheryl, because you didn't wake up... you should have looked for me if you had company."
also, its already that time!?
Liesel and Fake. You're worried... what to do...
"Oh, yeah... it's my fault. It was a breeze... and they took the magic stone to get in touch with my people."
"Well... that's troublesome"
"Hmm... for now it's too late so why don't we do it tomorrow? It'll be hard to find at night."
"Right. Stay with me like this. When it's tomorrow, we'll find company?
I'll have to wait for the other side to find me more than I can get in touch with...?
Then maybe I shouldn't move.
"Right...... I guess so. Well, isn't that disturbing?
"Not at all! Let's do that! Oh, we're gonna take a bath, but Cheryl, too?
"Oh, yeah... together?
"That's right."
"Shit......"
That's how Tia and Asna start taking off their clothes.
A thin, beautiful body for both of us...... I envy you.
I...
"... I'll come back later. I'm still a little confused."
"Really? Well, let's get in first. Asuna, come on! Let's flush our backs and move on... Hmm."
"Yes, sir. See you later, Cheryl."
I saw the two of them go into the bathroom and I lay down in bed.
I'm not like those kids...... dirty bodies.
I can't let you in with me.
I wonder how I was born incompetent.
Why do you have to see me like that......
What's so different from those kids?
What I...
"... stop. Just think... it doesn't make sense"
This is what happened to me as much as possible.
So I don't want the past.
Those kids are good kids... but I don't know anything.
I am not a party to the darkness of the world.
I was born into darkness.
Just... that's all.
