Over The Infinite

Special Edition "Edo is Far Away"

-1

There is a way of life for each person.There is no way of life where everyone feels happy, and so is misfortune.

The man was born as the second son of a junior samurai.Not only for samurai, but also for second sons.If you ask me that, you'll feel important, but if you don't have anything, it's just grain smashing.

Neither can he take a wife, neither can he make a son, neither can he go to his son-in-law, like the three sons and the four men under him.By the time his eldest son had grown up, he had already lost his youth.Even if you're thrown out at such an age, you can still see yourself dripping to death in the wild.I don't have a job at hand, and I don't think I can live with just a little remembered armpit.As a result, I settled in the town's longhouse and lived for the rest of my life.You can live forever in a day job or a competing job that uses your skills.

It was said that in a world of war, it might have been possible to predict a rise, but there was no such big battle in the world of Taiping.At best, this is a skirmish on a settlement scale.

I finally managed to secure daily food retention, but it was still around the time I had some leisure time. I happened to get a request from a shopkeeper I knew by face, and I had the opportunity to go to another town for work as an escort.

I only knew a small town near my hometown village, and I felt that the world would change after visiting a small regional city.And if it is a provincial city, what about the town of Edo that is rumored?I also thought that it would be easier to live than in today's town, which is also difficult to find daily work.To tell you the truth, it's like a longing for the city, and for a while you start to think about what Edo would do.

However, in the end, Edo didn't even come before the neighboring town.

One day, I ran into a bandit.Although I could barely escape my employer as an escort, I was at best pushing back a large crowd of nearly ten opponents.

Although I survived, I ended up dead because of the sword wounds I received at that time.

That's the man's life.It's a story of a man who didn't know what happiness meant, who didn't even have a different name.

I remembered such a memory. Besides, in the middle of the battlefield.

The memory of being revived like a running lantern was extremely disturbing when strongly impacted during the cut.It's time to remember and say what to do.

Memory and consciousness are mixed and movement slows down.You were supposed to be fighting hard, but you were suddenly alert to me, so you didn't chase me, but if I made a mistake, it wouldn't be strange if I were dead.

With all the confusion, I scratched my legs to survive by moving a body I didn't even know I was supposed to know well.A sudden crisis in the midst of fighting, with enemies on the battlefield in all directions.

I organized the situation while swinging the namakura that would not slash Rok.In the midst of a turbulent war, I can only say that I have nightmares that I need to sort out from someone.

Yeah, I'm Genji.Born in a village where there was nothing unusual about it, he was conscripted and brought to the battlefield.In repeated battles, he didn't even know who he was fighting, and he swung his sword as a soldier.

Driven by war, he survived once and for all.However, the opponent...... surely the Empire is strong and gradually driven to its disadvantage.As the battle continued, I heard rumors that the area I was in had already been invaded.I don't know what you're doing, but my family could be dead already.

I don't know how this battle is going to end.You can't just get information like that for a soldier.It's no use thinking about it.That's why we keep fighting to survive.I waved my sword for it.

Don't think about extra things.The memories of middle-aged people who admired Edo are now discarded. Just fight without thinking.

Hey, it looks like you survived again.

”Did I... survive?”

Ola?

"... no, it's nothing"

When I realized it, the battle was over.If I hadn't heard from my comrade Fritz, I might have been back in the dirt.

"... I'm sorry, give me a hand. I can't move."

"It was a fierce battle." You and I are alive and well. "

Get up with the help of Fritz.My whole body was lacerated, but I found that there were no fatal injuries.Unlike that man, he seems to have bad luck.

What happened to the fight?

"The Empire retreated along the way."I don't know why, but if it had been a little longer, the fort would have fallen. "

We don't even know the reason for the war.I had no idea why I was pulling out of the battlefield.

Nevertheless, the fort returned from various borrowings from nearby corpses in a miserable situation.Just because it's not occupied, it doesn't mean it's a defensive facility.This would be equal to having fallen.

I sought out my superiors to report my return, but apparently they were killed, and the acting officer ordered me to wait and rest.Not only the gawa, but also the contents were worn out.

"I can't even expect dinner."

"I guess. For now, eat it."

Fritz gave me a bloody carry-on bag as I moved to a larger room instead of my own.Apparently, they recovered it from an Imperial corpse.I'm sad that such things are superior to what I usually eat.

There is a large idle room for a large number of soldiers to sleep in the miscellaneous fish.Others are either dead or in the process of being treated for serious illness.People like shit, but I miss them when they're gone.

Fritz and I are also injured, but I am relatively mildly ill, so I was told to take care of it myself.I borrowed some medicine from the Imperial Guards, so I think I'll beat it.

"I told you you could take a break, but maybe they'll drive you out to clean up the bodies."I'm not happy to be told that you can peel it off if you stay that long. "

"It depends on how the Empire moves." I don't even know if I can take a long break. "

Nevertheless, you won't come back tomorrow.I probably needed to be vigilant against night attacks, but I didn't feel the reason to be rude to such a dying opponent.I wonder if the minimum appearance can be adjusted.Rather, they may be setting up a net to obstruct the retreat.

"Speaking of which, aren't you feeling crazy during the battle?"It's like suddenly getting old. "

"... ahh, something like the memory of my previous life is back."Thanks to you, I can't help but be confused.I even feel like I haven't seen you in a long time. "

"That's a bad timing story again."More importantly, it's in battle. "

It seemed strange to suddenly believe such a story about Yota, but if my memory was certain, Fritz would have been reincarnated.In this case, it was a story that I had memories of since I was a child, so I think it was accepted.It seems to me that this memory may come back to me now.

"So, what was your previous life?"even if it seems like it can be used in some way..... "

"You were a mediocre man who seemed unlikely to be talking about it."He seemed to be a little good at swinging a stick, but in the end he died from the wounds cut by the bandits. ”

It was a world of slaughter, wasn't it?

What do you think? Called the world of Taiping, he never experienced a big battle in his lifetime.I think it's more of a slaughter now.At least we were not on the brink of exile.

"Actually, he may be the reason I can fight quite well in this world."I don't have any memories, but I think I still have a little experience. "

”Is that him... after all, don't you recognize yourself as being slow to return to memory?”

"I don't say no, but it's thin."However, I still feel like I had a life of my own. "

Do nothing, do nothing, just live within the given circumstances.I don't even want to be happy, but in a sense, I'm a deviant person.I feel that there are similarities in my life.

"Well, that kind of previous life was not what I expected."I thought it was Japanese by name. "

"Japanese?... I'm sure it's Motojiro by name."I don't have a last name. I'm just Genjiro.My name Guernsey was probably also named after the records that were left. "

"Isn't that the name Japanese?"It doesn't seem to be Chinese either.It's not like I don't have a last name in that country.States... have you ever heard of America? "

I don't know. Was it your country of origin?

"Previous life. He died in Vietnam."

I don't know either. I think it is a strange country with a strange name in the sense of previous life, so it would have been remembered if I had asked.

Fritz would write about America, but it was a character I had never seen.Some of them seemed to be written in kanji, but the country of rice seems to be rich.Of course I've never heard of it.

"I guess that means a world with similar characters and cultures."I thought it was my hometown. "

"I'm not very familiar with it, but that's probably not the case with the coincidence of the hand.I don't know how many worlds there are. "

“We've met a few reincarnators, but at least we've never met them.”

One day, according to the priest, the Reincarnate comes from countless worlds.How miraculous it is to encounter someone from the same world.

But I don't think there's a lot to talk about because we're from the same hometown.At most, there are similar values and common topics, and the sense of fellowship will sprout.I was already friends with Fritz.

... but most of those who felt like comrades died.Even the slightest familiarity is almost impossible to recover.It is not an injury that can be fought in at least a few days.

There was also a confusion in the chain of command, so I just treated it that day and fell asleep.Is it because I am an injured person? I was exempted from repairing the fort as originally instructed.

The next day, there will be no further incursions, and we will be driven to clean up the battlefield and repair the fort.We don't have enough manpower anyway. It seems that the number of heads has been reduced and the food problem has been solved, but this number will not be able to maintain the fort.

Surrender or escape. There is no question of a total resistance, but it would be a futile death.If I hadn't recovered my memories, I wouldn't have surrendered to the Empire that burned my hometown, but now I've lost my temper.I have something to compare with right now.This can't be said to mean that memory has returned.

They are enemies, but I wonder if the original system of governance was good.I've lived a poor life in my previous life, but in this world it's even poorer.I can't remember the face of a happy family.

I'll pack my bags.

What? Did you suddenly see any signs of attack?

"No, I can't say it out loud... but I think I'll go back to my room."

"I still have work to do."

"Throw it away. It's useless now."This fort, this unit, this us. "

I decided to return to my own room in a leisurely manner to meet the blown-out frizz.Anyway, the people around me are just skimping on.It was remarkable when the officers stopped showing their faces at the scene.

"Let's start with the one that seems certain."... the capital has fallen. The country lost before I knew what to do on this front. "

…………

Fritz's information was much tougher than I had imagined.That's the first story of the highest reliability.Rather than a crisis of exile, we say that the country has already died.

"It's probably going to be swallowed up by the Empire like this."We're already defectors. "

"So, what are we going to do, talk about surrendering to the Empire like this?"

It's not like we're judging, but there's little left to follow.This is just one of the fronts to resist. Moreover, it is on the verge of collapse.

"I wonder." This fort also seems to have escaped above the officers.In a situation where there is no one who can make a judgment on the scene, nothing can be put together. "

"That sucks."

It seemed like it was already falling apart as an army.

"In short, even if you like it, no one will blame you, but the net will be stretched so that you can escape, and it is dangerous to enter the mountain at this time before winter."

It seems like we'll have to wait for the trend of the Empire after all, but why do we have to pack up?

"... it's pretty uncertain, but the next kingdom seems to be intervening."It's almost like hyenas, but there's a chance they'll hit you from the side. "

No way, that's the reason for the last inexplicable retreat.Even though it is adjacent, the neighboring country that has not intervened so far has intervened.

"That's why I want to be able to move no matter what."In some cases, it can even be a battle with the Kingdom. "

"Please don't do this..."

Fritz said that he had been a soldier in his previous life.You can judge me like that.

And Fritz's prediction was only half hit.The Kingdom has intervened, but the Imperial Army has withdrawn.For some reason, we were protected by the Royal Army, which was supposed to be irrelevant.

-2

Probably better than being defeated and taken prisoner by the Imperial army.Our treatment in the Royal Army was not so bad.Although there were restrictions on movement with surveillance, meals were eaten normally, and wages were paid slightly for labor.That said, there was little use for it.

This kind of life lasted for a while, and by the time winter arrived, life at the Royal Army outpost was familiar.

"I was integrated into the Royal Army..."Maybe they'll be assigned to the front line against the Empire. "

One day, Fritz told me that.

To tell you the truth, we're not much of a refugee.Like Fritz, this territory that was bounded by the Empire... seems to be the border of Nazair, but the road incorporated into the territorial army here felt like the best path.

I don't like the way the last kingdom hit me from the side, but I can't find anywhere else to get supplies as a soldier or aim to defeat the Empire.Besides, all the other roads I could think of in my head were nothing but lochs.

In the end, I was to be incorporated into the end of the Nazian Frontier Armies in the same way.It's like a restricted mercenary or a slave soldier, but it's much better than when you were recruited and fought.It is said that we can expect to be treated as citizens of the Kingdom as soon as we are active, and if we survive for the time being, we will emigrate to the Kingdom anyway.After the destruction of the motherland and its incorporation into the Empire, I would have fought against my hometown, but I didn't feel much evasion there.

This territory was always surrounded by fronts, so the training of the army was demanding.It was much more efficient than the training that was done at home, but Fritz said it was all in vain.I can't imagine how strong the army was.

The moon passes just by the dawn of training, and the summer passes over the spring.I finally got rid of the rustle on the Empire's side, and I was able to see a lot of movement on the peripheral side.Although the border with the Kingdom is not well laid out, most of it was incorporated as imperial territory, and it seems that the place where my homeland was located was incorporated as the territory of an imperial marquis named Welser.Of course, I don't know the name of the house, but I saw the flag many times on the battlefield.

The kingdoms and empires were originally enemies.Fighting occurs in addition to being near the border between these two countries.It doesn't matter if it's the land immediately after it was incorporated.

Fritz and I took part in several battles.Basically, it was a defensive battle, but we sometimes invaded.I remembered the feeling that my familiar land had changed into something else in less than a year.

Was it true what I was told in my previous life, that I seemed to have the gift of this hand, and after a few maneuvers, I was quite active.Then, it was officially incorporated into the territorial army, and although there were a few men, they also had subordinates.I've been a good soldier since I was a soldier.

Although the assigned troops were different, Fritz was more successful and became a platoon leader.Does that mean that a soldier's previous life is not a date?

"I wasn't really aware of it, but it must have been because it was an old-fashioned army that I licked it."No matter what kind of army you're in, the top is still no good. "

One day, when the two of them decided to drink it, Fritz said such a thing.When I was assigned as a platoon leader, it seemed that I saw Uncle Nazair himself from a distance.

"The sense of intimidation is different. I can't compare the officers in the army we were in."

"Compared to the one who ran away."

"That's true, but even in my previous life, I've never had such an euphoria."Commander... I was hoping you wouldn't be at the top of the front line, but I'm sure you'll understand. ”

Thank you, Emilwind Nazea... it seems that the Uncle from the periphery fights on the front line.Of course, it seemed that direct combat was rare, but white soldiers were also quite strong.

It may be because he was still young and had just inherited the Lord, but he had already raised a lot of battleships with his strength.It was said that it was not strange to lead the Royal Army itself in the future.

"Some people have golden swords that are stronger than that."It's like a joke that a woman is stronger than my boss, but I wonder if that kind of thing at the top is wobbly. "

Was it a knight from a similarly named territory next door?

"I mean, it's kind of like a relative.I thought you were my cousin as well as my golden sword.Is it genetic? "

Nazea and Philnazea are like separate houses in Nikko.It was not surprising that there were so many warriors in a territory bordering an enemy state.That's the lineage, isn't it?

By the way, Genji, have you seen your status lately?

"Oh, I've been investigating regularly since I got here."I still don't know how credible the numbers are, but they're increasing. "

"It seems like it's being used for evaluation in the army."It's true that the numerical equalization ability is not as it is, but it can be used as a reference to some extent, and if there is no fluctuation, it can be seen as skipping. "

"When the numbers are clear, you can't skip them. It's spicy."

I don't want to skip the training, but that kind of cunning is eliminated.It's true that a cunning man knows a way out, but he may not belong to the army in the first place.If you know the suitability to a certain extent, the hiring side will also look at it and make a judgment.It was harsh and cruel not to be good at deception.Maybe there's even a point where you just look at the numbers and get fired.

For the next few years, the conflict with the Empire continued, and the battle over the border continued unabated.However, the fighting itself has gradually decreased in number, and the substantial border has hardened.

At this time, even the perception that it was a different country fades, and even those who do not know the name of the motherland begin to appear in Tirahola.Is this the kind of mourning in which the birthplace is lost?

The days of training, work, and studying for it are quickly over.I knew a little about the world, and the geography of the kingdom is in my head.

This is the northernmost part of the kingdom.At first glance, the territory of Philnesea was further north, but it was treated like a part of it.From there, further north is the region where small countries break down, and to the east is imperial territory.Although the west is the realm of the kingdom, this territory is quite vast, so it almost becomes the perception of another country as a recognition.

What kind of place is the royal capital that exists far south and across several territories?There was a time when I was a little concerned with the town of Edo.

One day, the opportunity to go to the capital of the king came.

Civil War?

"Oh, it seems that the Labyrinth City has turned upside down against the Kingdom."Me too, but your troops will be integrated into the expeditionary force. "

I think it is troublesome in the same country, but I was also convinced that there would be such a thing if it was so wide.It's almost like a country, like an aristocratic territory.I can only tell by my senses, but I even think that it's bigger than Hinomoto even in this Nazea fringe territory.

Even before the birth of the former Jiro of his previous life, he had heard that the whole of Hinomoto was in a turbulent world.I also heard that long ago they were divided into two parts and killed each other.Compared to that, the rebellion in one territory is not a big deal.

"I can't leave here under orders, but I don't know where the labyrinth city is."Is it the north of the kingdom to deliberately pull troops from the front line? "

"No, the south... or the southeast."It's east of the capital. "

“How's it going?

"I didn't know why you went to such a place, but it seems to be a bigger story than I thought."It's hard to just move around. "

I know exactly where the capital is.It's so far away that I didn't think I'd get a chance to go while I was alive.

From the positional point of view, it is almost a longitudinal shape of the country.It's hard to just move, but it's pretty important to move the troops.At least no one has ever had such a long march.I don't even know how many months it will take.

Such a rebellion in a nearby territory... I thought if the King's City was close, the National Army would do something about it, but it seems that they are recruiting participants from other territories as well.

"Well, on the map, I felt that east of the capital was a place where there was nothing."I've never heard of a labyrinth city before. "

"There seems to be a labyrinth city in the middle of a noisy place called the Wilderness of Death."It wasn't the realm, it was the realm of magic.I'd rather fight in the desert than in the desert, but the real enemy is going to be the environment. ”

What happens to my supplies?

"Since the King's City is nearby, I wonder what will happen to it to some extent, but it must be a challenge."In particular, it's probably the higher up's job to think about it. "

I thought it was an extension of the civil war, but this is a different world.There were too many non-combat elements to get a bigger picture.It was unlikely that I would be able to go to the Royal Capital to see the sights of the mountains.

In the end, about one-third of the reservists in the border province of Nezea were to participate in the expedition.Soldiers don't join only for distance, but they do have extra conscripts to prepare for the border defense.

It was an expedition that seemed like such an idiot, and I thought it would definitely break down somewhere, but things went better than I thought.Apparently, there was careful preparation in advance, and there were absolutely no major problems with the passage of other territories.In a remote village, there was some ruin, but at best that's about it.

There are no forces that would sell their battles to the biggest military faction in the Kingdom.I didn't know because I had been resident in the realm and near the border, but even in the whole kingdom, the Frontier Corps was a sight to behold.Not to mention that if the general in the operation becomes a border colonel and the commander-in-chief of the front becomes a golden sword, it would be better to help him honestly.Also, the commander of the border is the head of Philnesea on his behalf.

If you think about it, the Labyrinth City is enemies of almost all the kingdoms, including my own. I don't understand.

Speaking of which, I was promoted to lead a new platoon in line with this expedition.It is also a unit that will probably form as a vanguard, incorporated into the battalion directly under the Golden Sword.

At the time of the establishment of the platoon, I also met the Golden Sword himself.So one day I'll see what Fritz said.

... simply put, the Golden Sword was a monster.It wasn't ugly or monstrous in appearance.Although it was a little tall for a woman to look at, it was a beauty that she would be convinced even if she was said to be a princess somewhere.

Even after taking those things into account, the signs of wearing them were different from those of humans, to the extent that they felt like monsters.The ranking itself as an organism is different.I didn't make a match, I just stood in front of them and I felt like I couldn't win.I don't want to do this, but I even feel like I could lose with all my troops except her.

When I actually talked to her, she was a normal and gentle girl, but I couldn't dispel the fear I felt once.Her serious personality made the training harsh, but they were desperate because they didn't want to be caught in the eye.

Training along the way was harder than long-distance travel accompanying the expedition.After arriving in the King's Capital, I prayed that the other territorial forces would arrive as soon as possible, even during the training that continued to be conducted in the sense of aligning with the other territories.

"This is the capital of the king..."

"Don't take it off. If we have a problem, we'll have more than enough.This is not the capital. "

It's not you, and I've never framed you in the realm.

"I mean pay attention to the actions of my subordinates."Whether you're using a bar or a brothel, make sure you get to the designated location by the military. I'll do it. "

Along with Fritz, who also served as the platoon leader, he looked up at the gate of the King's City.When I was in Hinomoto, I never went to Edo or Kyoto, but I never thought I'd get the chance to visit such a huge city in a different world.

Founded at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the town has been an ancient capital for over 700 years.It smells old, and there are many parts that give a sense of history, but the scale is different than that.The comparison would turn out to be the capital of the Nazea fringe province, but it was even bigger than the capital that I thought was a scattered metropolis.

Unlike the provincial capital, which had few entertainment facilities because of its frontiers, the capital city had everything.In particular, ingredients, spices, or alcohol brought from all over the country make you feel the difference.

However, the price is very high.Even if Roque had a salary that was stashed away because he had no use for it, the price would soon be gone if he took off his wings.Was it a terrible place to be in the city?

That said, our goal is to quell the civil unrest.While waiting for the regional territorial armies to gather, training begins, and joint training is also conducted with other territorial armies, the Royal Army, and the Guardian Army.

Sometimes I had a lot of actual combat experience, and I knew that the Nazea Frontier Army had a high level of training among the territorial forces, but even considering that, the other territorial forces were poor.Even though the direct army and guards are exceptional in their elite ways, other territories have barely experienced actual combat.Most of them are recruited peasants, even recruits who don't even know how to fight monsters.In this case, even if we had to do a maneuver, we wouldn't have the right footprints.But it's too big to be reorganized, and there's a problem with commanders and affiliations.

To the extent that I thought it would be more difficult than I thought, I was also studying about the army.

This is how I feel when I train with people from different units.I couldn't really feel it because I was in the elite army of Nazea, but I seem to be stronger than the average soldier.

Of course, if you look up, you won't get squeaky.To the extent that it was comparable, Fritz was subtly stronger than me, and the Kingsguard could barely compete.

However, it was not the guards, who were said to be the most elite, but the man named Gilwith, deputy commander of the Royal Knights, who felt strongest in the capital.It was too isolated, and I couldn't tell the difference compared to the Boundary Peak and the Golden Sword, but it was much stronger than me.I don't think they'll fight shoulder to shoulder, but I think it would be nice to have a fellow soldier like him.

Now that I'm a little closer, I can tell you that I'm the son of a countess.In addition to that, the Knights...... when they became regular knights, it seemed that those with such a high status were wandering around.If you're not careful what you say, your neck won't jump.

During the long preparation period, I also conducted field training near the land of death that stretches east of the capital.I guess there was a strong interest in trying an environment closer to actual combat, but I was outnumbered by honesty.

The wilderness of death is what I used to say, and this place is not a place where people can live.The fractured earth has no plants whatsoever, and even insects are rarely seen.It's a nightmare that just standing there doesn't have a water field on top of consuming water violently.Even if it's just a little step, it doesn't make much sense to build a city in the middle.

However, I don't know how credible the story is, but it seems that the Labyrinth City itself has existed since before the founding of the Kingdom.Why did people at the time want to live in this hell?

The supply line is literally a lifeline.I had such a feeling about the battlefield.You can never break the luggage you carry individually.The earth of death is a realm of magic.

I didn't encounter any monsters in this training, but I was surprised that they were wandering around too.I don't think we should leave the rebellion alone and let them become independent, but as a platoon leader, I had no choice but to follow my own judgment.

At first glance, it seems that there are regular trades, so it is proved that it is not an environment that cannot be broken by people.Also, it seems that the merchants who have been to the Labyrinth City in line with this operation will also participate.

Then, after overpreparing, the crackdown finally began.

It was hell. A more harsh environment than I had ever imagined would spawn a merciless defector.

Even we've been through quite a bit of training.Even though he uses a special carriage, Roque is not a soldier who has no experience in marching.It was out of the question that the nearby lords had gathered the Farmers.

Although the supply line was barely connected, there were many people who had dropped out.In a resupply sense, a small number would be preferable, but can we fight with such a thing?It was almost annihilating without even seeing the enemy.

I only relied on the guidance of the pedestrians ahead.When I heard you were doing business here, I thought you were some kind of lunatic, but you were better than any of us at all.Unbelievably tough.

According to his story, this is finally about half of the journey.Even if things go well, do I need to go on for another month?I'm sure things are going well, but I'm in the mood for distress.

The army went further. The defectors continued to emerge, and the shape of the army had already collapsed.We're the only ones in the advance force with a solid track record.Even the golden swords that didn't say anything about meta-humans were losing their strength.

... and perhaps the upper echelons are being forced to judge.The operation has already deviated considerably from the original.It's not about war, it's not even about standing on the battlefield.Even if it is said that the war is about to begin, how many people will be able to move?

Huge sums of money will have to be invested, but they will have to be withdrawn.Fortunately, I knew how much the Demon Realm was.We should connect them next. Everyone would have thought that, but it's not up to us.

And while the decision to retreat remained unfulfilled, further dark clouds rose.According to the pedestrians, it was time to see the destination, but I never saw the shadow of a labyrinth city.Only the wilderness with the worst vision spreads.

I thought you were mistaken.But it was the pedestrians themselves who were most perplexed.I have a track record of traveling back and forth, so there should be no mistake.It didn't even look like he was lying.

Fully retreating. There is no other path than the quickest retreat, and even the return path will have to be prepared for death.

I stayed there for a few days for rest and future consideration.Since this is only an advance party, it will take time to get in touch with Uncle Frontier, who will be in the back.Even if the recommendation can be made, the final judgment must be made by the rear marginal uncle.

Even in harsh environments, if you just stay, you won't run out.If this were a desert to talk about, it would be different, but the scaffolding is solid and there are rocks that block the sun.I had the supplies myself.It seems that the water is consuming more than expected, but there is no problem now.

Although there was no choice, the decision to stay on the spot was probably the right one.A pedestrian tied up said that the weather was suspicious.

It seems out of time, but a storm is coming in this wilderness of death.It's not a typhoon, it's a scorching hot wind that takes away all the heat.We'll send a message to the rear, and we'll build an instant shelter on the rocks.

You know how scary the typhoon is.However, the storm was so spectacular that it shattered into pieces.Even in the cave, the voices nearby are blocked.The heat generated is also very high, but it takes more moisture to root out.The rocks to defend themselves were cut down mercilessly.Hell is here.We could have evacuated with a simple evacuation, but otherwise it would have been a catastrophe that could have been wiped out.

The storm itself passed quickly, but the rolling dust did not allow for visibility.In this, everyone knows that marching is suicidal.I don't even know if my rear unit is safe from the interruption.

When it came to this, the Golden Sword had to move with its own judgment.I decided to withdraw even if I couldn't get in touch with them.There is no one to argue the significance in this situation.

Everyone thought they could finally go home.The march was so tragic that it could be affirmed that no one remembered the original purpose.There was no way to win any kind of battle.

But we couldn't make it home.

Sudden assault as we prepare to retreat.I had a bad sight in the dust, and I couldn't detect the approach at close range.Moreover, it wasn't the troops of the Labyrinth City that attacked us, but the monsters.Individual races were indistinguishable, but obviously not human.Monsters like the ones I've only heard of come to me relentlessly.

"Don't be frightened!!"

So far, there had been no combat-like battles, and although it was a member of the force who was satisfied with the assault in a vicious environment, it regained its coolness with a burst of gold.I think I'm being trained, but I'm grateful now.

It was difficult to establish cooperation in a situation where the visibility was poor and even the position of the troops could not be grasped, but unilateral massacres could be avoided.Although it was like a scratch, it was like a battle.

The monsters attacked me a lot.Just taking a blow is the best I can do.Dreams such as counterattacks are dreams again.We're fighting individually, and we're just waiting for death.The only light in this dead space is the golden individual combat power.I wonder if they were thinking the same thing, but the crew was joining up.At that time, about half of the members of the corps were members of the corps. But we can still fight.

A monster with a cow's head is approaching.A quadruple-legged monster was approaching.A monster with a huge body that is like a person and never a person is approaching.

I managed to get in position, but it was a clear disadvantage.On top of being powerful, we're probably losing a few times.Then, I realized that I was observing the enemy in order to grasp the situation.... you'll notice.

The monsters were acting too orderly.People of different races challenge each other to a high degree of collaboration, saying they know how to fight each other well.It could be called a tactic.

The answer that came out of it was that they were not just monsters, they were acting on some kind of strategy.

"This is stupid..."

What is their identity?There's only one answer to that.... these monsters are soldiers of the Labyrinth City.

"Genji!!"

Fritz's voice was heard from across the dust.It's like I'm on the brink of extinction... the next moment, I know what that voice means.

In retrospect, what I see is something like a creepy snake that is soaring up from the ground, saying that it has been sailing underground."I was about to swallow me when I opened my mouth..."

... my consciousness sank into darkness.

-4

The next thing I woke up was on the bed.The unusually fine, pure white bedding is unknown, and I realized that this is a place I don't know.

It was a private room without a window.There are only beds and shelves in the room, nothing else.The clothes are also changed into thin ones.

"... where am I?"

I don't have a definite view. It feels like you're dreaming while still being conscious.

I'm dead, aren't I?I thought that I had been reincarnated again, but I know that the feeling that is transmitted in a rude manner is definitely my previous self.

”Sure enough, that snake thing swallowed me up...”

"After that, the troops were devastated. It seems that none of the advance parties were taken prisoner."

I opened the cloth that looked like a closet in the room, and a strange face came in. Fritz.

"What the hell is going on here..."

"It looks like a labyrinthine city. I don't know the details, but it seems like you treated me."In the meantime, I can confirm that we and your troops are all safe.There's probably all of them elsewhere. "

"Isn't anybody dead?"

"Strangely enough." Maybe those monsters didn't want to kill us in the first place, but came to capture us. ”

Still a soldier in a labyrinth city, huh?

I don't think so, but I don't like wild monsters that cooperate with such units.

That's true. I have fought wild goblins and such, but even a large number of them can't help themselves if they work together to take action.Not to mention more powerful monsters.

"Well, I don't know what's going to happen, but for the time being, I don't think I'll have to worry about dying."Would you like me to bring you some rice?It's unusual. It's delicious. "

"... eat"

My body was honest. Same goes for rice, but I want water.

The woman in the white clothes carries the most delicious meals, even in her previous life, and starts frizzing and organizing the situation in a comfortable place.That being said, we don't have much information about each other, so it's just the degree to which it folds.I also asked the woman in white, but I only knew that the person in charge would come to explain later.

"Well, I guess that's a prisoner of war."In that case, I think the treatment would be good.It seems that Golden Lord is in a different place. "

Indeed, the captivity of the Frontline Commander will suffice.If he became a daughter of the Viscount, a regular knight of the Kingdom, and a cousin of the Frontier Lord, it would be a bargaining material.Meanwhile, we're not worth much.Some of the troops... some of the other captains are pretty good, but they're definitely inferior to gold.It's too cheap for a coin, but it's just a copper coin.

In the end, the day was over without any problems, and I went to bed quickly with some fatigue.

There was movement the next day.We'll be summoned individually and question-and-answer sessions will begin.Terribly, it was a question-and-answer session in which the opponent was not even restrained and the opponent was not armed.It's just a treatment that says it doesn't matter if it's a rampage.I would not do that, of course, because it could cause trouble to other members of the squad if I went berserk in such a place.

The questions ranged from military matters to personal matters.I naturally pushed through the silence to keep quiet, but I decided to answer honestly what didn't matter.When I heard from Fritz one day, it seemed normal not to say anything other than his name and affiliation, but we didn't do that thoroughly.In fact, if you ask Fritz later, he told you everything but military jets.

The mere question-and-answer interrogation was taken a few days later, and when it was becoming a hassle, the same question was asked with rechecking and confirmation in mind.I didn't know why, but I was asked about my previous life.

“Is there a mistake between this birth year and the country of origin?”

Well, there may be some mistakes about previous lives.

In the first place, I didn't know anything about Roque, even though I was a former second in my previous life.Although he had received some education, the content of the man was different from that of the woman.Still, I can't go wrong where I came from.

What came to mind was that, as Fritz had said before, his home might be in the Labyrinth City.If that's the person in charge, I might be a little concerned.If that makes the treatment as a prisoner better, it means that the previous life was not in vain.

"... I don't know why, but it was the Edo period."

The man with the medium back and medium flesh who came into the room so that it could be replaced said such a thing.

"Edo? Kanto? Um..."

"That Edo. Shingo Satoshi. It's like the person in charge here."

In the end, I didn't have to go, but it was a city I had imagined.You can't go wrong there.I don't know if it's the time, but I'm sure Edo was the center.

"Maybe, but reincarnation is beyond time."In my time, Edo was called Tokyo.If what I asked is correct, I will be the man of your previous life... a few hundred years after your ex-Jiro lived. "

“How's it going?

I can't catch up with stories that aren't too sudden.Since there is such a thing as reincarnation, there are some things that I can't understand, but I just understand the meaning of the words and it was extra confusing.

Well, there might be lines in other worlds that resemble each other a lot, but Edo is like a place name even if we're together.

The man was much more detailed than I was, and when I heard all kinds of stories, there was no doubt that he was in the same world.

The Shogunate lasted more than a hundred years after my death, and I heard about the history of the return of Daikaku due to the arrival of foreign countries, and the unification of Japan as a single country.

Someday, Fritz said that Japanis was like a Japanese name seen from overseas, and there was also a country called the United States.He said he normally knew the days when Satoshi Shingo was born.Just because I mistook myself for someone from the same era, I guessed that I was from Japan.I don't know if that's what I'm talking about.It seems that Fritz also has another individual interview scheduled for his hometown.

That said, they're just about my previous life and this guy's hometown."So maybe things will turn out better..."

"Apart from that, I can do it for convenience."Even so, it's the second greatest position in this town. "

... looks like it's turned around.

"In the first place, I don't know how you perceive it, but I don't know if we're at war."It's close because there was an intruder. "

It certainly wasn't a battle-like battle, but didn't you turn the flag against the Kingdom?

"I haven't turned it around." No, the interview is over, so I know what's going on.The Kingdom recognizes this as a one-sided war of punishment.There's some delicious prey, so let's cut it up together. "

“How's it going?

I can't understand it anymore.I've been in turmoil for a while.

"Although it once existed as a territory, the labyrinth city, which had no flavor in a terrible environment, suddenly developed, so some great nobles rebelled for a reason."As expected, I didn't grasp our strength, so I ended up doing nothing. "

"...... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

... have they been wiped out? The troops in the rear were attacked by such monsters...

"No, we're all home."With a service that carefully transports you outside the wilderness of death.There are injured people, but no one is dead.Maybe that one's a bit tough, huh? "

No. I'm going crazy listening to this guy.My common sense doesn't work.There is a war in the universe that will send the enemies who have attacked us.

We should proceed with our conversation on the premise that we can no longer understand.

"I knew that the soldiers at the end wouldn't understand."... so, can you ask what happens to us? "

"Ah, that's it, but it's a difficult place."As far as I'm concerned, you could have come home if you wanted to. "

"... but?"

"There was no civil unrest from the kingdom, and we did not send suppression troops."Naturally, there was a reply that there were no advance parties that had been taken prisoner. "

"Hah... no, that's not supposed to be the case... if you talk to Uncle Boundary..."

"The answer came directly from Uncle Nazea."It's not good if you don't do what you're supposed to do.Thanks to you, the captain of your unit... was it Maisel?She's freaking out. "

W-what is that? I don't know what happened upstairs, but have we been cut off?

"It's okay to keep it confidential where appropriate, but maybe we should stay here until it almost cools down."It looks like Msgr. Maisel won't be leaving. "

…………

I should have told you something after that, but it didn't come into my head.I'm not purely a king, and I can only work in battle. I've done all I can in the Frontier Armies.It was truncated.

... no, the golden sword was cut off.Compared to that, there's no such thing as a terminal soldier like me.

"I don't want to go back anymore, but when I do, Emilwind will be cut off."I don't even want to see your face. "

She had the opportunity to meet the Golden Sword for a while, but at least she believed in it.I thought it might be a lie, but she talked directly to Boundary Uncle.

I was told a detailed explanation, but the mental situation was too complicated for me to understand.Even if a soldier told me to understand court politics, it was impossible to do so.

After that, I stayed in the facility of the labyrinth city for nearly half a year, but by that time, there was no doubt that it had been cut off.I don't know how, but I know what's going on outside, and I can get the materials.We were expelled from the Nazian Frontier Army... no, we weren't supposed to be there from the beginning.

I politely declined the offer to transport me to my favorite places in the kingdom or the Empire, confidentially.

If I can scratch and explain this matter to the best of my ability, the higher level of the kingdom got lost on its own.No, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was a rampage.We were used to match the accounts.The Labyrinth City side didn't care, even though they didn't have to.

"Hell, we turned around, too."In a few tall years, your affiliation has changed too much. "

"Must be."

Me too, but with a drink next door, the Boyard Fritz is left in the Labyrinth City.So there was no one to return to as one.Some had families, but the Labyrinth City had summoned them.

In other words, even without emotion, the living level in the labyrinth city is extraordinary.The city that the lord built to mimic Tokyo without Edo was too comfortable.Everything is different. I wonder how a kingdom that sells quarrels without knowing it is ignorant.... though, I was part of the order.

"You're going to be an adventurer, aren't you?"Anyway, let's combine them like we used to. "

"Oh, it's not bad."

There is no army in the Labyrinth City.There are cops who control the inside, but not even a vigilante.That's why we had to figure out how to behave.

It was the adventurer who seemed to be the easiest to understand and the most suitable.I didn't have a good image of the name, but it wasn't like an adventurer outside the Labyrinth City.

To be honest, I was anxious to do just what was explained, but if I couldn't, they would introduce me to another job, so I thought I would just try.

Everyone who calls themselves an adventurer in this city is a monster, but if there's a way to get close to them, they want to get close.

Fritz and I are starting a new life.

Including my previous life, I also actively studied that I had never done in my life before.If the times are different, they are transformed, but the root of the language is the same, so it is quick to learn.

Somehow, I also learned more about the history of Japan.When I was a former Jiro, I understood that the fact that the shogunate that I did not suspect was destroyed was not much different from the fall of the samurai administration in the past.There was no information left about the ex-Jiro's parents' home, but even a junior samurai would take it for granted.

I also saw Tokyo's townscape in videos and photos.It was too different to believe that it was on the extended line of the once coveted town of Edo, but it could be that way if the times were different.

It was difficult to get used to the life and values of the labyrinth city, but there was also a system for accepting external people, so time solved it for me.

After a year, I forgot to live in my homeland and the fringe provinces.

As for adventurers, it is hard to say that they were talented in flattery.From the point of view of the later labyrinth cities, we didn't have a system in place, and our steps were like turtles.

However, if it continued for ten years, it became quite a shape.In the end, it was only me and Fritz who continued to do so in the advance party at the time.

It took me ten years to finally reach the intermediate level.On top of that, I'm too different to look up.That was my goal as an adventurer.

In our case, it is not directly related to the preferential treatment because of the history of migration, but if you go to intermediate level, you can get permanent residence even if you are from an outside adventurer.There was no hindrance in quitting the adventurer's activities.

Retire to a familiar dungeon master and introduce him to a new role.It was worth it, but I had a daughter-in-law, and I had a child.From the point of view of origin, this is probably a life that is too happy.

Build a new house in the production lot and use your work break to start imitating agriculture.Even in my previous life, I did imitation work, but if I try again, this was rewarding.The land owned by the plowing field is also large.Slow Life, a half retired middle-aged man.

I was recommended to raise livestock because of the land, but I refrained from doing so.It makes me crazy to deal with talking livestock.

The first civil war... was 716 years ago when I emigrated for something like this.It was 0004 in the labyrinth calendar.

Currently, it is Labyrinth Calendar 0024.It was almost twenty years since I settled down in the Labyrinth City.

One day, a dungeon master arrived.It's not unusual.It is usual for this man to appear without warning.

"Why don't you try nobility in the Empire?"... splitting a part of the territory of the Marquis of Welser... I've been questioning the lord of your hometown."

No.

The sudden and unexpected story was not worthy of consideration.

"Ahh, Fritz turned me down, too."That's it, if you don't want to lower your living level, I'll help you in the Labyrinth City. "

It's true that life will be tougher now, but that's not the reason.

I'm going to thrust the hammer in my hand into the ground.

"This is my goal for... Genji."I don't want any more. "

"You guys are all going to say the same thing."It's like having a party together for years. "

"I'm not saying that's not the case, but it's my theory."Every human being has a way of life and a place to live.If you deviate from that, happiness is no longer happiness. "

I look at the pyjamas with the meaning that I have a memory.You don't know the meaning of words.

"Don't tease me too much."

"The times are different, it's called the goodness of my hometown."... well, I know you already understand, but some people are worried. "

"My ears hurt and I can't help it."

As vague as ever, this man won't forget if he speaks properly.Twenty years ago, I learned that I was such a man.

"Thinking about such a difficult story separately, the matter of the Empire... well, maybe someone will look for a suitable sacrifice."I wish there were other people like Tachibashi and Tachibashi. "

"Don't call them sacrifices."

The kingdom and the empire, each of them on secondment to the center for surveillance purposes, I think he's happy.When I meet someone, they ask me stupid questions, and I don't feel like I can imitate them, but that's why I say each person.

"Hajime Shingo.... there was a lot of things, but I'm happy."

I mean, implicitly, what about you, but I'm not responding.However, he just said "I see" with a little joy and walked away.

Probably, that man made a mistake.The way you live, the way you compromise, the way you're happy.The same was true of the Golden Sword.

Those who challenge the infinite corridor can climb up infinitely.Continuing to climb the endless hellish stairs.So I easily lose sight of the withdrawal. Lose sight of happiness.

I don't know if it's the right answer or not, but I think the happiest thing the man got was to compromise.

Of course, there was a reason I couldn't pull it off.However, if they were there, they would have had the option of burying their bones in this world.Even so, it should have been enough to be a happy life as a person.

It's too far to tell where his goal is.But I didn't think it was his greatest happiness.

I think it's superfluous because I like the happiness that I deserve.

If you think about it, you've come a long way.

Motomijiro, who once admired Edo, somehow settled down in a place like this.It has already weathered my longing and there is no form left.

I found an end point far away, far away.That's the story of my life.
